sequences of crime punishable by
law But the thing was done, and
the crime was scarcely committed
before another woman came with a
child in her arms to claim him as
her lawful husband. He fed, like the
coward that he was, and the young
girls people connived at his escape
to bury the shame of it. And since,
the girl-wife who was no wife has
paid the penalty of sin that was
not hers. That is what I learned
through a friend of mine in Massa-
chusetts who has known the man
and the evil heart of him from his
youth up. Was my informant cor
rect. Winifred?"
She had heard me through with
out finching, and her eyes met mine
steadily.
'Not entirely corr ect," she said,
with hardness in her voice which

it would be, 1 could almost wish he
were. 'Wooed and won, you said,
but that is hardly fair toto the
young woman. There were constrain-
ing circumstances; her guardian was
overwhelmingly urgent, it seemed
to her at the time"
"Why should he have been?" 1
queried. Surely, the most ordinary
inquiry would have shown the young
man up in his true character"
"There were reasons why the in.
quiry was not made; why any past
of his, however despicable, would not
have weighed an ounce in the scale.
You said that the young woman's
father had left her a competence.
That is true; and it is also true that
her guardian had-had-"

A RESTRICTED DIET.
stefan Who Did Not Prescribe
for Himself.

A famous and eccentric physician
of London, who fourished 100 years
ago, was a stout advocate of re-
stricted diet. He held that one meal
a day was enough for anyone, and he
practiced what he preached. But that
meal! A chronicler of the time, re-
lates the Boston Advertiser, said of it:
For over 20 years DR.. Fordyce dined
daily at Dolly's chop-house, near
Paternoster row. At four o'clock he
entered and took his seat at table
always reserved for him. A silver
tankard full of strong ale, bottle Of
port wine and a measure containing a
quarter of pint of brandy were in
stantly placed before him.
"The moment the waiter announced
him the cook put a pound and half
OF rump steak on the gridiron, and on
the table some delicate trifle as a
bonne bouche to serve until the steak
was ready. This morsel was some
times half a broiled chicken, some
times plate of fish. When he had
eaten this the doctor took one glass
of brandy, and then proceeded to de-
YOUR his steak.
"When he had finished his meat he
took the remainder of his brandy.
Gle drank the ale during his dinner.)
He then took his bottle of port. He
thus spent daily an hour and half,
and then returned to his house in Es.
sex street to give his six o'clock lee
ture on chemistry. He made no other
meal until his return next day at four
o'clock to Dolly's''

OLD NEW ENGLAND TAVERNS.
Gatherings in Them in Former Duya
Had Great influence In
Public Events,

At the first meeting of the Bos tonian
society for the season, George Leslie
Nichols read paper on "Old Tayerns,"
which, it appears, had an important ef-
feet on the development of New Eng
land, says the Boston Transcript. In
ante-revolutionary days the tavern
was "the center of events and the CEN
ter of alarm" John Adams writes
somewhere of putting up for night
in tavern at Shrewsbury, where the
political discussion of the farmers over
their pipes and bowls amazed him in
its penetration and comprehensive
ness. American independence is close
at hand" was the great patriots con.
c.usion after bordering over tavern dis
courses.
In old tavern days rum, or "killdevil,"
as it was known at the time, was the
almost universal New England drink.
One old New Highlander, however,
wrote from Philadelphia: whisky is
used here instead of UNI, but / can't
see but it is just as good" An ancient
Massachusetts, sta ute forbade the sell
ing of rum to drunkards, and an official
was in attendance at the tavern to &c.
termine when man had drunk enough.
AS early as 1922 two gallons were con-
fiscated from a Boston tavern keeper
for a violation of this law, and sold by
the deacons for the benefit of the poor.
In the early colonial days the sale of
strong water was forbidden to the In
dams, but later generation deciled
chat it was not fitting to deprive the
Indians of any lawful comfort" and re-
pealed the statute.

CHAPTER XIII.
THE FOUNTAINS or THE pEEF

114G VoO4N1 OE DGtF.
Macpherson's trial was set for the
October term of court, and was not
without the hope of being able to go
to the fort in term time to appear
for him. The case was not as simple
as it seemed. Wykamp's evidence
would be difficult to set aside; and
only those who knew Macpherson
would be able to escape the suspicion
which pointed naturally to the man
whom the land company's scheme
would dispossess. There were two or
three ways to clear Angus, but just
how to do it without duplicating Sell
ter was problem. AS last resort,
1 determined to bring the Tennessee
an to book; and this determination
was clinched when Setter refused to
come to the rescue of his own mo-
ton. 1 put it to him conditionally,
asking him if he would make depo-
sition and take his chances of escape
if it should become necessary to save
Mac from paying the penalty in his
stead.
81 reckon We wouldn't hardly expect
man to do that Their, would We, Mr.
Halcott?" he said, when l had laid
the matter before him. ''Ez you say.
Macs been powerful good friend to
me, an all that, but TIERS limits,
amt ther'?"
1 said yes, and did not urge him,
but L made out my case for Angus
with ruthless alternative in reserve.
If l couldn't clear him without involv-
ing Setter, the Tennesseean should
pay the price.
In the meantime, matters went on
The even tenor of their way in the
valley. For purpose of my own, a
purpose which detailed itself at some
length in technical correspondence
with my legal partners in Denver, l
dissuaded Winifred from leaving the
valley; nay, more; l even succeeded
in convincing her that it was her duty
to take the Valley Head school for
the fall term. She did it; did it under
protest, I fancy; but that mattered
not SO long as my end was subserved.
Not to make a mystery of it here, /
was determined to set her free, le-
gally, and it was strong point in
her case to have her resident within
rifeshot of her husbands camp and
ignored by him. There was but one
plea which could be set up and sus-
tanned against Wykamp, but the evil
dence of that was not lacking. Nan
no longer went about her work with
a laugh and a gibe for all corners.
She hid herself, as is the wont of
such stricken creatures.
Now that it is all over, I willingly
confess that l had serious doubts as
to my ability to persuade Winifred
to appear in court in her own behalf;
doubts which would have been con-
victions had known her half so well
as l thought I did. For her the in.

more fragrant since my ineffectual
attempt to break it off, Macpherson
told me, was at the bottom of Sell
ter's feud with Wykamp. And yet it
was no time to fence with dissimula-
ton.

Jacob Setter is plain man, and not
prescriptions, as we all know. But
he is father"
Her eyes went wide in deeper
trouble and the shock of it filled
them with quick tears.

"It must be prevented. I will go to
Nan and tell her what she ought to
know" !.
Pardon me; you must do nothing
OF the kind. She would not believe
you, and-she knows already"
There was bewilderment in her
faltered rejoinder.

he had done so, gave her the facts
1t was blunder on my part, Miss
Winnie; well-meant, but a blunder
nevertheless. She did not believe me;
and when she was finally convinced
she used the information against
you?"
Against me? How could she do
that?"
1t was not altogether the weak
ness of illness that set the perspira-
ton thick on my forehead.
"May I speak as freely as your
brother might, Winifred?"
II have given you the right" she
said; and her voice was low and tear
shaken.
"Then let me tell you what you
haven't suspected. You have come be-
tween Nancy Setter and the man
whom she really loves. 1t was to him
that she went with the miserable
story of what an unjust world calls
your shame"
1t crushed her as I feared it would.
For long time she sat with her face
hidden in her hands, and her sobs
were so many dagger-thrusts for me.
When she lifted her eyes to mine
there was the light of new pur-
pose in them.
II must go away from here.-at
once," she said. 81 should have gone
at first. 1 would have gone, if 1 had
not been afraid"
II know. But you may trust An
gus. And it is for him that I must
plead, Winifred. He knows the worst,
now, and since he loves you the YER
dict of an uncharitable world is
nothing to him. Won't you give him
leave to speak to you, Winifred?"
She started back with a little cry
of anguish.
"You speak of shame, and it is you
who tempt mel" she said, in sor-
rowful reproach. "That would be
shame, indeed-shame and sin. You
say you know the facts. Are you
quite sure you know all of them?"
"Let me tell you what I know, and
you shall say if it be the truth. Two
years ago the nameless one had a
business engagement which domi-
ciled him in village in New Hamp-
shire. While there he met young
girl, an orphan, whose father had
left her modest competence. I

her, and was willing to dare the con-

She left me at that, and it was a
full week, and many things had hap
pened, before l could bring myself
to tell Macpherson. 1 did it at last,
and he heard me through patiently.
"That settles it, he said, soberly:
land I'm too glad for her sake to be
sorry for my own. The thing is bit
ter enough without the shame; and,
somehow, Jack, l have feeling that
my love could never have made that

"Is he?-but, of course, she would.
Then I must stay. There must be no
chance for the evil tongue to wag."
81 thought you would say that. Is
that Setter coming up?"
There was a heavy step on the
stair, and Macpherson listened.
"No, that isn't jake" he said. 81
wonder who it is at this time of
night?"
We were not left long in doubt.
The door opened presently to admit
man whom Angus knew and did
not. He got up, greeted the incomer
with hearty handshake, and intro
duced him.
"Shake hands with Dick Burt, Hal
colt. Dicks the man 1 was logging
for for sheriff when I wrote you to
come up to the Torolito. How are

The big man with the bushman
beard seemed singularly embarrassed.
"I'd rather be shot, Mac" he
blurted out; id if I wouldn't. But
I've got warrant for you"
For me? What have I been do
ing?" Macpherson sat down to laugh
the easier.
"Not a thing on Gods green earth
to be ashamed of, know, Mac; but
this cussed ingineer for the Glenlivat
people comes to the front and swears
out warrant against you for blow
ing up his coffer-dam. I've got to
take you, and I'd rather be shot, as !
say"
Macpherson got upon his feet rath-
er unsteadily. "That's the thanks ]
get for saving his miserable life" he
said. Then he thrust out his hand:
"Good-by, Jack. I'll be out on bond
in day or two, and when I get back
you'll hear something drop. Come
on, Burt; duty's duty. You don't
need to pack gun when you come
