passed pleasanter social hour than in this
strangers company; indeed, she could
hardly believe that an hour had passed
when he intimated that he wouldn't intrude
on her any longer; he wouldn't wait to see
Granger to-day.
"Won't you stay to dinner?" she asked
him Hospitality. It'll be on the table in
five minutes NY husband will be glad,
I'm sure, if you'll stay"
But he gratefully declined her invitation,
and rose to take his leave.
"What's 90 name?" asked Birdie, as he
rose.
sI should have asked that" said Lucy,
smiling. 'Who shall say has called?"
He looked at her thoughtfully, stroking
his golden tawny beard for moment before
he answered:
"You can say Mr.. Thompson-william
Thompson.
"Well. Mr.. Thompson, I'm sure my nus
band will be real sorry to have missed
you," said Lucy, cordially. II hope you'll
call again"
"Will you promise me welcome if !
do?" he asked; and his keen, blue eyes were
serious, although q smile just curved his
lips.
"Indeed, we'll all be delighted to see you
anv time" she assured him. "Say goodby
to Mr.. Thompson, children, and give him q
pretty kiss.
Bonnie, who was standing on a chair,
nesting against bis mothers side, with her
arm around him, was nothing 10th. He
threw his fat dimpled arms round Mr..
Thompson's neck, and gave him an ursine
hug and kiss Birdie hung back little for
q moment, with play at coyness, before
she consented to bestow on him an equally
affectionate parting salute. Then Lucy
held out her hand with friendly goodbye.
He took the hand and held it gently, al.
most reverently.
"Well, goodbye, Mrs. Granger" he said,
IT thank you for your kind welcome, and
I'll not forget this hour. Perhaps some
time you'll know that I don't forget it. -
He looked down at the children with q
glance that seemed to her strangely and
needlessly serious.
'Tt's good many years" he added, after
Q pause, "since baby's kissed me-"
Then he passed out of the door. He
turned on the outer threshold and stood tor

aghast. 'He didn't say where he was going.
He went that way"
"Did he 60 into the Officer"
'No; he went to the Office door first, but
I asked him in here"
Dan went across to his Office and assured
himself that the bags of gold dust and
nuggets were there untouched.
"It's not Captain Phils way to hide him
SELF" he said, thoughtfully pulling his
heavy brown mustache. "When he's once
been seen about, he's pretty sure to turn up
at the saloon. He'll be at the Four Aces
tonight"
"You won't go, DAMP" said Lucy an1-
iously.
Yes, Loo, he said, kindly but deeid-
edly. 81 shall 60 to Four Aces tonight.
must look there, at least, to see what's up
if it's only for half an hour. 1t can't be
allowed to go round that back down be-
fore Captain Phil. I've got to be on hand
there tonight"
Lhcy wasted no words in remonstrance
or entreaties to him to stay at home. She
knew they would be in vain.
Don't look like ghost, old girl!' he
said, giving her hearty hug. 'tPll come
back all right"
But he was not quite so sure of that as
he professed himself.
The Four Aces was crowded that night
when Granger went in.
Dams eye fell at once on the tall figure
and tawny head of his old enemy. The
crowd was thickest around Captain Phil,
but in curious and apparently accidental
way it thinned as he looked around and
saw Dan Granger coming down the room.
Captain Phil was famed for his quickness
con the draw and shoot" but Dan Granger
was known as dead-shot, too. Greek met
Greek when those two came face to face.
Those nearest to the Captain fell step
back. There was break in the buzz Of
talk; one man who was telling story broke
off before he got to the point; the men play
ing poker paused and looked around, cards
in hand; the barkeeper and his boy prepared
to duck and drop behind the high couD ter,
safe out of shot-range, as Dan Granger
walked quietly toward Captain Phil, nod

'They det there at last" echoed Birdie.
She cogitated awhile, turning the question

The stranger laughed softly.

There is already tendency to short

The sight of his sister enjoying this treat

For some time women's one essential has

made with the waist the objective point.
You have Judged woman and her gown by

be we'll over. After all, the waist that
fashion required was a product of art and
not a natural endowment To be sure, the
