When I'm on horseback don't feel a bit
like an angel, however" added Pauline
laughing, "for love the world more
than ever"
Miss Roberts smiled at the young
girls naivete, and then suggested that
quite possibly Madam Morel desired to
send package to her husband and son
and offered to carry it to them if she
would strap it to her saddle The pack
age was quickly made mp and strapped
in place. Then with a hearty hand
shake the Belle of the Cariboo" dashed
| away, followed by her three hunting
dogs, which awakened the echoes with
their loud baying.
Captain Roberts anger knew no bounds
when he learned of the failure of his
trusted agent to separate the beautiful
Pauline from her mother. and thus put
such curb upon the haughty spirit of
the Moreis that they would be forced to
accede to his wishes When, however,
IN addition to this piece of bad news, he
was informed OF his daughters interior
ence and her demand that either the
Murels be confronted with their accuser
or set at liberty, mis- wrath was so great
that it threatened 10 gorge his brain
with blood and put an end to his life
then and there. For several days he
kept aloof from tine police camp, during
which time the Belle of the Cariboo"
paid frequent visits to the guardhouse,
and it was quite evident that something
else besides mere desire to see justice
done inspired these visits.
| Lucy Roberts knew little and cared
| less for the conventional ways of love-
making by which a woman-no matter
| how convinced she may be of the mans
affection for her and certain of hers for
| him-must still dissimulate and await
| declaration from him. And therefore it
will be pretty hard to say just exactly
| how the Morels, father and son, felt the
| day that Lucy unfastened bunch Of
mountain daisies from her white throat
and handed them to Leon, and then,
| throwing her arms around his fathers
neck, kissed him and cried out:
"Ah. Monsieur Morel, if Leon is as
noble and good as he seems to be, love
him"
At last Captain Roberts became
alarmed ut the turn things were taking
| and consented to produce the witness
upon whose testimony he had ordered
the arrest of the Morels. In spite of the
fact that the two men brought in by
Roberts to testify against the Morels
were notorious desperadoes, both known
| to be his paid creatures, and in spite of
Lucy's indignant protests against the
acceptance of such evidence, the Eng
! lishman's influence was strong enough
| to have the father and son held upon
| the charge and an order made for their
removal to Richfeld for trial. Miss
Roberts was careful to conceal this piece
| Of news from the wTetched mother and
| daughter, whose poor hearts were rapid
| ~ losing courage, and no sooner had the
| Belle of the Cariboo" taken her leave
of Madam Morel and Pauline than an
other rider halted at their camp 1t was
"Mr. Timely" as he still requested the
Morels to call him when speaking of him
to the outside world, but no doubt the
astute reader has already OWNED the
conCealment of Captain Roberts son,
Clifford by name, under this inCognito.
At Pauline's request the existence of
this accepted lover had been carefully
concealed from his sister, Lucy Roberts
the French maiden feeling little
ashamed of herself for yielding so soon
to the suit of her gallant rescuer and
fearful that this Diana of the Fraser
might lose interest in one so unlike her
and now so i'll adapted to become her
twin angel, as had been proposed.
Visions of black mares, riding habits
and mad dashes through mining camps
became fainter and fainter in Pauline's
mind, but the regret was only momen-
tary one. When she felt her lovers
strong arm wrapped about her, her hap
piness needed only the presence of her
father and brother to make it complete.
"Mr. Timely" had come with the joy
full tiding5 that that night the prisoners
were to be set free, and that unless
strenuous opposition should be made to
their marriage by the elder Morel he
asked that it be solemnized the moment
the party reached the little camp, for that
step would at once and forever put an
end to the wild dreams of his father to
make the beautiful Pauline his wife and
end this wicked persecution.
The impatient lover promised to have
Bishop" Whitman, as the only clergy
man in that part of the province was
called by the miners, present to perform
the ceremony.
