After Law violators.

When the fish and game warden, III.
D. Mcclure, was up here last week he
lodged complaint against a number of
persons residing up the Mckenzie on a
charge OF unlawfully killing elk. 1t is re-
ported that half dozen men or more are
implicated, and that the affair took place
while the heavy snow was on the ground.
The elk gathered around a spring or
watering place, and the men gathered
there and drove them out and had no
trouble in overtaking them in the deep
snow and killing them. In this way a
large number are said to have been
slaughtered. Gainey Mathews has been
sent up to investigate the matter and ex-
poets to bring several parties back with
him. If the report is true the parties
deserve to be well punished, and no
doubt will be. 1t is time the law in res
poet to the protection of game law is
being enforced.
LATER.-Mathews returned last night
with G. D. Mulford, DR.. Barr and man
named Thompson, whom he arrested on
this charge. Two of the Powell boys
were also arrested but could not be
brought down.-Eugene Guard.

My heart ached for my friend. Yes, the
danger of being cast off, deserted, put

CHAPTER vi.
IN THE ARBOR.

The evening of Colonel Marchmont's
return was given over to the ball of
which mention has already been made.
Portia was picture in her white satin
gown, the laces of which were caught
here and there with clusters of scarlet
verbenas. When she was dressed and
stood intently regarding herself in the
mirror, she sighed heavily.
"Why do you sigh, Portia?" l asked as
pinned the last knot of flowers in the
folds Of her gown.
"Those red blossoms" she answered
dreamily. Il have acurious fancy about
them, Prudence Do you know that
they look like drops of blood?' Then
catching my reproving expression she
laughed gayly, caught up her scarlet fan
and fastened to join her husband in the
drawing room.
l watched Colonel Marchmont curl
ously to see what effect his wifes beauty
had upon him, but he regarded her as
coldly as ever. began to be furious
with this calm, self contained man, who
showed so plainly his utter Indifference
to the beautiful woman he possessed.
He had taken her white cloak from
her and thrown it over his arm as he
stood waiting while she buttoned her
gloves. Suddenly he s)'o,:e:
did l write you that met Maurice
in Atlanta? he asked.

week to stay few days with us?" Colo
mel Marchmont continued.
EYES," she breathed rather than spoke.
Her husband looked intently at her
through narrowing eyelids.
"Well, / must say that you do not
show much interest in the cousin who
was like brother to you and whom
you have not seen since you were boy
and girl together. Now, Maurice could
not end his catechism about you. How
you look, dress, talk and act were ques-
tions he was continually asking. I told
him his legal training had evidently be-
come second nature, for he kept me on
the witness stand constantly. You must
know, Miss Mason, that Maurice Ray
mond is nay wife's only living relative.
He was born and brought up on her IA
theirs plantation, and the two were like
brother and sister"
"Oh, yes!" said, ~ used often, Portia,
to hear you speak of your brother
Maurice"
Portia turned q white, hunted face to-
ward me. Her lips moved as if she
were about to speak, but no sound issued
from them.
"Let me see," said her husband as he
carelessly threw her cloak over her
shoulders, lit must be Is years since
you saw him. How much you will have
to talk over!"

died from Portals face, and as she took

about us, to whom, with much splutter-
ing and many groans, Sophie related the
occurrence.
l went to the nursery with Daphne
and did not leave her until she was
sound asleep. Then, with my nerves
still considerably shaken. went down
to the piazza. Tom, the old white headed
butler, was standing near the dining

The moon, which had been partially

For fully 10 minutes she stood there in

fell by her side. Then she moved on. I
followed.

to it, ] saw Portia stoop and take some
thing from her pocket. Then she tore

Cures Others

OLD JEZEBEL.. E

It was serious question with me
whether / should speak Of the startling
experience Of the evening. At first de-
cided to hold my peace. The excitement
would soon pass, and Portia and her hus-
band would be none the wiser. ",
But reflected that they might catch

demand the story Of the occurrence.
Then they would blame me for not hav-
ing told them. decided that it would
be better TO tell the father and mother
at the first opportunity.
Breakfast next morning was late. /
rose at an early hour, but chose to wait
and eat with Portia and the colonel.

ceived in the srbor.
