Ringbrand slept next day until after
noon. coming down to very late dinner
feeling as if he had circunnavigated
the globe in the wrong direction and so
lost day out of the calendar. Mrs.
Ludlow, having slaked the Imperative
thirst of her curiosity at the well Of her
husbands information, spared him the
task of recounting his adventures at
length; but she managed to make him
give very fair description of the bat
tie at "The Laurels" from the point of
view of the chief actor therein, ruthless
ly ignoring his modest endeavors to
dwell lightly upon his own achieve
ments She listened with lively appre-
citation, making comical little grimacc
of incredulous scorn as he concluded.
"And Tom thought-shan't pour you
another cup of tea?"
Thank you; what were you about to
say?"
II did say it. Iasked if you would have
another cup of tea"
"No, but about what Tom thought"
"Oh! Tom thought you'd sleep right
along till tomorrow morning." she re-
piled, with unblushing effrontery. And

to inquire after you, and / told him
you'd pay your respects at The Laurels'

"Of course shall" she replied. I'm
der no circumstances would consent
to wear such thing. 1t is not essen
tial to a marriage, and it stands for
all that is objectionable in the mar
riage relation
And on the same theory" he con-
tinued, 81 suppose you will refuse to
wear an engagement ring also|'
"Well-no," she answered slowly and
thoughtfully. That's very different
matter"
"But, theoretically it"
There is no use arguing" she inter
rupted. II don't care what it is the
oretically. Practically it is very often a
diamond. while the wedding ring is

Glad that you found it impossible to
be quite correct; you don't know
how much it makes me" the last two
words were whispered to the lapel OF his
coat, but he heard them and folded
her in his arms. After the rnpturous
interval, he asked: "And did you think
I was very conventional"
II used to; the people in your stories
always seem to do just the right thing
at the right time. Tell me, dld you
ever make one of your heroes say any
thing like--like you did few minutes
ago?"
"Ueaven forbid" he answered fer
yentlv; "but then one can always imag-
inc better things than he can do"

low went down the avenue and
crouched in the black shadow of low
branchcd pine; and Ringbrand, armed
only with the revolver which had been
his companion in the cavern, took his
stand against the trunk of a great oak,
whose spreading limbs overshadowcd
the ambush selected by the mountain
GERS.
Up to the moment when the compile
ton of the arrangements for the cap
turc Of the conspirators had begun to
cancel the factor of excitement, Ring
brand had not reflected upon the pc
culiarly trying nature of the test he
had proposed for himself. When the
plan had suggested itself, he had vel
coined it gladly, hurrying forward to
it's elimination with the eager impa-
thence of one who imagines he sees the
turning point of his life in the perspcc-
tive and runs impetuously to double it.
After he had taken his position under
the oak, however, the suspense, and the
darkness and silence of the night, be-
gan to dampen the fire of enthusiasm;
the fiood-tide of excitement turned and
cbbed slowly away; and the heroic re-
quirements of the part he had volun-
tccred to take in the approaching
drama stood out in vivid and disconccrt-
ing relief. Common sense awoke and
demanded reason for the hazardous
plan, pointing the finger of ridiculc at
the melodramatic stage setting, and
suggesting that nothing had been omit
ted save a calcium light to be flashed
upon the scene at the critical moment.
He saw the absurdity of it all, and how
much more sensible it would have been
to take Ludlow's suggestion. surround
ing the house with a posse of armed
men whose numbers would have made
resistance on the part of the mountain
GERS useless and hence improbable.
And what was there to be urged
against such a safe and practical plan
of procedure? Nothing, or less thar
nothing; merely the demonstration OF
TN abstruse metaphysical problem
within himself; the application OF a
heroic test which had no place outside
the realm of fiction. And with this
thought it occurred to him that he haj'
unconsciously planned the whole thing
upon the lines that would have made
il most effective in a story! And then
the suggestion of the calcium light and
the alarmed young woman looking
down upon the theatrical tableau from
her window came again, making him
sick with disgust.
Looking at it from any point of view,

than likely TO cost him his life in the cX-

Ringbrand, refectively, recalling the
words of the conspirators. "One of

and the other replied: Needn't mind

claimed the colonel, blazing up wrath
fully. "What right has he got to be

"Not the least bit in the world,

enough humanity in him to send this

However, the hunting in the island can be
engaged in after one has spent an hour
fishing. There are bear, deer, duck, wild
turkeys, squirrels and quail, and other
game in plenty on Billys Island. AS the
soil on the island is a sandy loan, high
and dry, there is no trouble in getting
about over the island while hunting. In
Vulnerable stories re told of the dangers
experienced by Indians and Americans on
the island, and while some of them may be
true, the probability is that the most of
them are not.

had not been discovered 1t would have
been a costly fire, for the new public school
