his mouth in a portentous grin, and
appeared to find keen enjoyment In a
sourdless laugh entirely to himself. as
he turned and trotted along the bride

For three or four hundred yards the

THE TAVERN 0FCASTLE CRAG

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
in the heart of the Sierras, almost at
the foot of Mount Shasta, and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible TO the tourist. The eligibil-
ity of the place selected was due to a
rare combination of flowing water, in
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
a sumemr resort for health, recreation.
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal socia bility. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of Sumptuous
accommodate tons or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism and to realize this orig
inal conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively a family resort; and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and Sec
ond floors of this splendid taxern with
board will be furnished at a monthly
rate of 500 a person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at a monthly
rate of $50 a person.
The accommodations OF the Tavern
are first class in every particular It's
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
iouS. It's verandas are cool and invit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world.
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing, riding, BIZ
cycling, walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. TIE
Tavern is located Immediately On the
main trunk line of the California &
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco al s o'clock D. M. arriv
ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton Thus both in going and in COM
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

Are there any others in the family
that's as nice as themselves, MN, may
ask?''
I'm sorry to say there's no one else
in the family except their two selves
not chick nor a child unfortunately.
There's her ladyship's sister, Lady Bar
nard, but she's been with her husband
in Jamaica-he's Governor therefor
the last two or three years, so we
haven't seen much of her lately. And
there's Mr. Reginald Crawford, her
ladyship's brother, but he only looks in
here now and again, to see if there are
any letters to forward to his sister or
his lordship. So, you see with no call
ers. no dinners, no parties, this house
has been as good an imitation of the
grave as you'll be likely to get in a
long days march"
And what kind is Mr. Reginald?"
"Oh, he's good enough. A bit fond of
horses-betting and racing, and all that.
But, of course, I never see anything of
that here. He's never tried to bet with
mel" Mrs. Mason affirmed with convic-
ton and, after ALL it may all be fibs.

housemaid; come down and help me
show Ellen Parker what she's got to do.
Come, be quick-there's no time to lose!"
In another five minutes the three
women were engrossed in their respec-
tive domestic duties.
But a surprise-one she little dreamed
of-was all this while in store for Mrs.
Mason.
The housekeeper had not very long
been experimenting the work of
the two housemaids, when a

With that Mrs. Mason handed her
visitor the letter from his lordship.

Reginald said, as soon as he had mas
tered the contents of his brother-in-
laws note. Tomorrow night, eh?

"Yes?"

housekeeper replied, quite shocked at

Then I'll be off, the young man re-

himself out of his deep arm chair at

door, IF that's soon enough?"
quite soon, enough, thank you. sir. 4"
In another moment Mr.. Reginald was
halfway down the steps; in one more
he was in cab, bound for the bank.
True to his word, in little more than
the time specified the young man had
returned. Two men from the bank ac-
companied him, and with the assistance
of these the chest was soon safely de-
posted in the hall.

Mr.. Reginald, surveying with salts

You were going to say something" Mr..
Crawford added, his quick eye noticing
kind of hesitancy in Mrs. Mason's
manner as though she desired to saw
something, but did not know how to say
it. What is it, Mrs. Mason?'
Thus encouraged, the housekeeper
spoke out

| In response, the dog slowly waved his
/ tail to and fro-to and fro.
| Good night, good faithful friend!
And may nothing occur to bring your
strength into need" Then, patting the
hounds great head, Mrs. Mason turned
| away towards the staircase. But Plu-
to followed her few steps, and once
more he licked her hand. There was
| perfect accord between the two.
! Ascending to Ellen Parker's room, the
housekeeper found all safe there; the
girls light was extinguished, and the
girl herself asleep.
By this time Mrs. Mason felt deeply
tired with all she had undergone dur
/ ing the day, and was glad to seek the
quietude of her own apartment. Just
| before she lay down to sleep she opened
her door and listened attentively To-
tai stiffness prevailed in the great
house. All was safe!
At the next morning Mrs. Mason
awoke with start. There seemed no
apparent reason for her perturbation,
for the house was still wrapped in pro-
found quiet. 1t was evident, then, the
girls had not yet gone down Hastily
throwing a wrap over her, the house
keeper with some trepidation-for the
old feeling of yesterday was once more
beginning to assert itself-cautiously
made for the hall. As she descended the
stairs, she looked into the drawing-room.
! To her relief, she found everything
right-nothing appeared out of place
all just as she had left it the night be-
fore. Descending further, she reached
the inner hall. It was darker here than
| in the drawing-room, and in the dim
| light of early morning she had 6i1ic dlty
! ing picking her way. After a moment
or SO. however, her eyes grew accus-
toned to the half-light, and she walked
on step or two. peering in the direction
of the chest Yes, there it lay-just in
its proper position, and by its side its
faithful guardian. 1t seemed strange
tc her that the dog did not run to meet
her, for he and Mrs. Mason were fast
friends Another four or five steps
brought her right up to the chest.
| Then she knew why Pluto had not run
to her. And when she took in the cause,
| her heart stood still within her.
| He was crouching sullenly over some
thing.
/ A mans body!
! An intuitive feeling possessed for TO
approach nearer still. The dog even
now did not move muscle. but lay.
alf-couchant, close beside the body.
| The man lay face downwards, With his
head resting on his right arm. In his
right hand, clutched convulsively in
death, were two files and a bunch OF
skeleton keys. Removing the arm, Mrs
Mason exerted all her strength. and
turned the body over. Then her limbs
grew rigid with horror. She was only
able to utter in an awed whisper the
words:
Mr.. Reginald" then fell back sense
less.
/ When the body was searched, a letter
was found in one of the pockets:
