One day Doris walked down into the
village to buy some little household

saw portly gentleman emerge from the
gates, whom she recognized at once. It
was Mr.. Goldmark.

Misfortune followed misfortune. A

had been brought bride burn to ashes.
Every now and then she brpathed =

Doris, however. was nearly beside her

be allowed to be Of use. But the classic

next. Another came which said the
same thing, then ilrmce, strange, tear
breeding silence.
AT last news! News came too terrible
to believed Franklin Fairfax had disap'

They were approaching certain place
In Snnth America at which letters could
be Inr.ted, and in his impotence the
young man had left the larger party and
ridden on before them. When they
reached the town he was not there.
They had not seen him since. But his
hat had been found, also the packet 81
letters he intended to mail. All his In
terests were bound up In rejuining his

were Precipices over which the horse

waters that could have swept both
horse and rider away. There were
people who would murder for . handful
Of coin to be met on every ro;Id. They
had given up all hope Of finding even
his dead body at last.
When this news came, Doris, sick
with anguish as she was, found her way
to the barn.

pleaded. "NOw you must need some

was paid in hard cash. She had kept 1t

would be 70 wedding, and it kept the
