Lady Latimer'S Escape.
BY CHARLOTTE NJ. BRAEME.
CHAPTER IX-CoYTINUED.

CHAPTER IX-CONTNUED.
1t had been arranged that on New
Years eve a grand ball should be
given. The entertainment was called
a ball, but it was to comprise charades,
music, cards, and everything else that
was enjoyable. Lady Latimer and
Colonel North had drawn out a pro-
gram that was most inviting; to my
thinking they spent a great deal of
time over it, but it was certainly a
success. | remember every detail of
that New Years eve-how beautiful
the frozen snow looked in the sun
shine, how white and hard the ice was,
how the scarlet berries of the holly
tree glowed, how the robin red-breaSts
flew. A beautiful New Years eve, on
which | alone saw the shadow.
confess, Lady Latimer looked lovely
enough that night to make any man
lose both heart and head. She had
chosen a costume worn generally by
those who represent Juliet on the
stage; blue velvet over white satin,
with what looked like net work or
armor OF pearls; her white shoulders
and arms shone through the pearls,
her face wore a dainty flush, her eyes
were bright.
l forgot all about myself; my heart
was heavy over her. l could not di-
vest myself Of a fear, a fOreboding
that something was to happen that
night. A presentiment of coming evil
seemed to weigh me down. Captain
Fleming said to me more than once.
"You look tired and i'll, Miss Lovel:"
but | could not answer him. had no
heart-no heart.
1t did not surprise me that they
danced together, and more than one
remarked that they were the hand
soonest pair in the room; nor was |
surprised that, instead of dancing to-
gether a second time, they went into
the conservatory. nor when they
walked up and down the picture-gal-
lery, nor when they paused for a few
moments under the mistletoe bough
and saw him kiss her; but | was sur
prised when heard him say to her:
"You need have no fear; l have
made every arrangement. The car
riage will be at the turn OF the road
by two o'clock. All will be well.n
They neither saw nor heard me,
they were sitting behind a group Of
white camellias, tall trees with glossy
leaves, and | was on the other side,
lowering near her, always fearful,
yet without knowing why. Lady Lati.
mer made some remark that l did moi
hear. His answer was:
Trust to me, my darling; all will
be WE'LL"
l turned away sick at heart, and
from the depths of my soul prayed
heaven to save her, for she was in
deadly peril.
Still the real significance of those
words did not occur to me. 1.-The
carriage will be at the turn of the road
by two o'clock" thought it was
some arrangement about driving the
next day, and l said to myself, over
and over again, that l must do some.
thing to help her, something to save
her, or she would be lost. Little did
dream, even hen, of what that New
Year would bring forth.

deeper into the bowels Of the earth.
Abort this time, Col. b. W. Evans
arrivedEin 1872 from Colorado,
with well known geologist. Colonel
Dick discussed the geological charac
tier of the country with familiarity
and the use of technical terms. His
borax mine one mile west of the city
promised great output, it required
money to develop it. The geologist
hung around Dodge for a long time
without any visible means of support
or occupation. Col. Dicks friend
was wearing heavily on his hands and
living was high in the city. Doctor
Tremaine, Surgeon at Fort Dodge,
and who would have been a ,eredita
BILE promoter in Dodge's later enter
prise, thought he saw way to utilize
the dormant energy and latent geo
logical brain power then wasting it's
self on the charitable confines of the
bibulous city of the plains.
Colonel Evans thought his friend
could find coal if anybody could, and
Tremaine suggested a geological sur
Ney. No one had any particular in
formation about the earth's substrata
the knowledge was confined to sur
face indications, and wind, drouth,
grasshoppers, and Indians and buffa-
loes. In those days no expedition
started out without full equipment
in commissary stores.
It was arranged to get up party
to assist the geologist in determining
coal indications. B. M. Wright and
ALB. Webster, two leading merchants,
readily dropped into the scheme, and
formed the party of five who we're to
look for coal.
The five prospectors started out on
a beautiful June morning, the geolo-
gist the most e.ated of the party.
The course lay to the south, or west
of south. The biologists knowledge
of geology was unquestioned. He
discoursed on the carboniferous age
with evident familiarity of the sci

Rod was familiarized. In the mean
time the commissary supplies were
being disposed of with evident relish.

that they didn't have time to wait,
and Wright suggested an immediate

inverted.
