That was the only time that this par

instantaneous failure. He died in 1879,

CHAPTER XXI.
Through the Heart.

1t lacked several minutes Of the
hour fixed for dinner when Blake
strolled through the hotel safe and
thence into the lobby. The babble of
voices, the gesticulations and the
nervous energy which pervaded the
atmosphere were not in harmony
with Blakes feelings.
Jessie was afraid | was going to
say something tonight and SO she
told me that she loved John" he
unused, throwing away half-smoked
cigar Dear old John! Lucky old
John! Hello, what's the row? That
sounds like Morris! suppose he's
drunk. If he had a, spark of decency
he'd be with his father. Here he
comes!"
Morris pushed his way through the
crowd and was followed by young
Kingsley. Not until he was within
his rival. Though anxious to avoid
a meeting. Blake scorned to retreat
or to turn his back.
Morris stopped squarely in front of
him. His lips parted with sneer
and his fingers toyed with a small
walking stick. Blake leaned careless
ly against marble column, his eyes
fixed on the man who confronted him.
Had Blake been in a Western min
ing camp his fingers would have
reached for the feel of a gun, but in a
metropolitan hotel he had no sense
of danger. The incident was trivial
but disagreeable.
Lend me a thousand, Blake" de-
manded Morris.
A whisper passed around the room
and many turned to watch these two
men, whose names had filled the pub
lie prints of the day.
Certainly said Blake, a strange
smile lighting up his handsome face.
SIS thousand enough, Morris?"
Blake took wallet from his inner
pocket and handed Morris bill.
"And match ordered Morris, ad.

Indians of Jewish Strain.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an
idea that the Indians of the far North.
west were partly Jewish in origin.
From Lake Athabasca in 1894 he set
out at the head Of an expedition Gin
a birch-bark canoe, % feet long, AK
feet beam and 26 inches hold, with
5000 pounds Of baggage and provi.
sion and a crew of nine French Cams
dians." He reached the Pacific coast
and returned. The aborigines he met
were for the most part possessed of
strongly religious instincts" said he
in his report. with regard to their
origin all we are prepared to state,
after careful survey Of their Ian
guages, manners and customs, is that
they are undoubtedly of mixed orr
gin; come from the North-northwest
and had commerce in their early his

with people of Jewish persuasion or

She paused, but Blake. with his

That is your promise?"

He laughed gaiy as she repeated
the words. but his lips quivered and
his eyes glistened suspiciously. In
moment he was the careless, happy
Blake, chatting lightly on trivial sub
jects.
Il must keep an engagement" he
said, looking at his watch. "A friend

1t was probably a copy, though he
told me it was the original" replied
Blake. He said you had it painted
for him in Berlin, and that you pre-
scented it to him. The first time |
came here | saw this one and thought
it remarkable coincidence"
There is no mystery about it," said
Jessie, her eyes flashing with anger.
Mr.. Morris saw fit TO take advantage
of papa's bankruptcy, which gave him
possession of our Boston residence.
This portrait hung on its walls, and he
doubtless had a copy made from it.
This is consistent with other acts
from which we have suffered at his
hands. /"

rested first on Blake and then on
Jessie.

There was tremor in the voice
but a proud flash of the lovely eyes as
Edith bowed slightly, and, brushing
the portieres aside, left the room.
Don't go. Edith" cried Jessie.
| There was no response, and Jessie
was too wise to follow her fair cous

spoken.

The parted lips and questioning

Less than day had passed since
he had resolved to surrender all hope
for the love of Jessie Garden. Why
had he done SO? James Blake could
not answer that question. He had
not calmly weighed his chances of
success against those of failure.
Like flash it dawned upon him
that he could not-that he must not
be disloyal to John Burt. He did not

to be congratulated on the outcome"
81 don't believe word you say"
replied Jessie Garden, laughing. I'm
not SO stupid about these Wall street
affairs as you imagine. If it had not
been for you, Mr.. Morris would have
defrauded pap out of all his property"
Speaking of Morris reminds me of
something which has often puzzled
The Holly chieftain. (Holly, Colo.) 1897-1987, 1904-11-18

for years. and the same thought has
occurred to me. I'm going to pre-
sumo on that occult friendship, and
longs to John Burt!"
John Burt? The John Burt knew
as boy? What do you mean, Jes-
sie?"
She opened an album and handed
it to him. On one page was the
faded duplicate of the photograph
from which had been painted the por-
trait he had seen SO often in John
Burts study room in San Francisco.
Opposite it was a photograph of John
Burt The album opened naturally to
these pages-sure proof that certain
white fingers had sought them out
many, many times.

pictures were taken. 1t was glori-

Both accepted the invitation. For
ZONE moments after Mr.. Hawkins had
LEFT no word was spoken between John
Burt and james Blake. Each was
busy with his thoughts, but John broke
the silerce.
When is Miss Garden expected to
return" he asked, quietly.
III try to find out tonight" said
Blake, looking his partner tull in the
eyes. MY head has been SO full of
stocks that I've thought OF nothing
else. But I'll know all about it. John,

Early in the evening Blake rang the
Dell OIL tne BlsDOp mansion, and was
greeted by General Garden.

The general disappeared, and James
Blake lay back in his chair, with his
eyes fixed on the portrait of Jessie
Garden.
He heard the faint rustic of gar.
ment and turned to see Jessie Garden
as she entered the room. A tender
light glowed in her brown eyes, but
there was something wistful in the
smile; blending of happiness, re-
straint and pity. The eyes dropped
for a moment as they met his frank
gaze, but her voice was clear and
