would she be ca .sght there. She wanted
to hasten, but she could not; it was as
though great weights Of lead were fasten-
ed to her feet, Her brain was dizzy; the
unusual excitement, the frenzy Of love
and jealousy had been too much for her;
her tall, graceful figure swayed for
minute like leaf i'll the wind, a low moan
came from her lips, and then, as in
dream, the white, angry face of her hus-
band was looking into hers, and he grasp
ed her arm in hard, cruel grasp.
Near to the lake, across which the last
red glimmer of the sunset had faded, hus-
band and wife stood for one moment be-

his eyes, his lips trembled with uncon-
trolable emotion. Hildred-pale, terri
fed, wondering at him like one
fascinated.
''What is 2" she gasped.
''You guilty woman" cried the Earl
''you cruel, guilty, jealous woman"
She shrank back as though he had
struck her, her lips parted as though she
would speak, but all sound died away on
them.
''You guilty woman" repeated the Earl,
Gown the truth! You followed Lady Ham
ilton and me here to watch, to listen.
Speak!'
May heaven pardon me, did!' she
moaned.
''Here you must remain. I shall come
back. l shall know where to find you;
crouching at the end of the alder trees,
where you hid yourself to listen to your
husband and his guest. Great heaven,
that a spy should bear my name! Stay
here until I return. If you attempt to
escape, will send the whole county after
you. And was beginning to care for you
to think you a noble woman"
She shrank covering from him. His
angry face, the anger that shone in his
eyes, the stern voice frightened her. She
shrank lower and lower, until she fell on
her knees, sobbing as though her heart
would break.
"Stir at your peril!' he said, and then
he left her.

GOLD MINE our OF REACH.
Made a Big Find, but 1t Was on an
Indian Reservation.

The speaker was one of the old pros
pectors to whom the present Alaska
talk recalls memories.
"When l was a kid prospecting in
Arizona" he said, "a little thing hap
pened that made me think for couple
of days that 1 was wiser than was
credited with being. In the time I had
been in the gold country there had been
a good many laughs On me, the same as
there is On any tenderfoot, and was
just aching for a chance to surprise
the boys when this little incident turn
ed up.
cit was in connection with some Of
that Pueblo Indian pottery. I bought
little god for curiosity on reser-
Walton that an outfit Of three of US
passed through. In handling the ugly
bit of crockery 1 noticed a roughness
of the surface. I wondered If there
might be anything back Of it; so, with
out saying anything about it to my two
partners, broke it up and applied the
tests.
"The clay was full Of grains Of
color
"The next thing to do was to find
out from the Indians where they got
their clay. I planned to hold back my
find from the other fellows until I had
everything in shape to surprise 'em.
They kept me pretty busy making up
excuses for hanging around with the
Indians for the next week, but found
the excuses. Dry old Abraham Butts
would smile once in awhile, but never
thought for a minute that he 'saveyed'
my game.
II got the Indian potter drunk, and
he told me where he got his clay. The
clay turned out to be full Of color. It
was not until I started to locate a
claim i'm the beds that I was jumped
on and told quite plainly that they were
inside the reservation limits, and that
a white man had better stay away
from them.
'That part Of it wasn't half so tough
as the fact that the other two fellows
had been watching and chucklfng over
the whole transaction. Old Abraham
had found some Of the pieces Of my
Pueblo god the day I broke him up.
and had tumbled right on. They didn't
say much about it; no, they only smiled
a little, and continued to buy ME pres
ents of Pueblo pottery until swore
I'd shoot any man that brought up the
word Pueblo again."

Robert Barrie, Scotchman, had tried
hard to keep his temper through this
interview with young sprague for
many reasons. One of them was his
suspicion that Sprague loved his daugh-
ter Marion, the very apple Of his eye.
Another was his respect for Sprague
himself, and perhaps the strongest Of
all his boast that he never let his tenn
per master him.
This occasion, however, was too
much. To be told by a young "whup-
per-snapper'' that ne ought to be
ashamed OF anything was not to be
tolerated. Besides, sprague evidently
did not know that the book had been
found in the house Of his aunt, Bar
bara Myles. He turned on his caller,
purple anger mounting to his forehead,
and shouted:
Eyes, can see that the book must
of course be in the house" He came
a step nearer and added: "And it was
found there this morning. Here it is
now"
And he held out the priceless copy
of Izaak Walton that had long been the
pride of NOrwell. Sprague turned
white and seemed about to fall. Found
