again.
"Good-by," he muttered, and slouched
awkwardly out of the room.
She sat on where she was, very still,
frowning, her hand holding her chin,
only her restless eyes rowing about the
room. She was like some handsome,
fierce, Gagged beast. There she sat for
close on an hour, thinking of what she
was and of what she had done-of how
he had shown her the picture of herself.

wrath, she had betrayed Christine

CHAPTER XII.
Images and Their Work.


BY this time young Walter Blake
had not only clearly determined what
he wanted and meant to do; he had
also convinced himself of his wisdom
and courage in wanting and meaning
to do it. He was not blind, he de-
clared, to the disagreeable and dis
tressing incidents. There were painful
features. There would be a scandal,
and there would be an awkward and
uncomfortable period-a provisional pc
riod before life settled down on its
new and true lines. That was inev-
liable, since this case-the case OF him.
self and Sibylla-was exceptional,
whereas laws and customs were made
for the ordinary cases. He did not
condemn the laws and customs whole
sale, but he was capable of seeing when
a case was exceptional, and he had
the wisdom and the courage to act on
what he perceived. He even admitted
that very few cases were really excep-
tional, and took the more credit for
perceiving that this one really was. He
did not take Grantley into account at
all, neither what he was nor what he
might do. Grantley seemed TO him
negligible. He confined his considera-
ton to Sibylla and himself-and the
exceptional nature of the case was OBJ
vious. He was a prey to his ready
emotions and to his facile exaltation.
Desires masqueraded as reasons, and
untempered impulses wore the decent
cloak of a high resolve. If he could
have put the case like that to himself,
it might not have seemed so plainly
exceptional

But it's prudential consideration"
And il you are sure ?'
Sure for both, mean, you know.
Yes, sure for BOTH
We'll. then you're in such a bad
way that you'd better pack up and go
to the Himalayas or somewhere like
that without an hours delay, because
nothing else'll save you, you know"
Blake laughed rather contemptu-
ously.
After all. there have been CASES

well. we've had your gospel. Now
let's hear how it's worked in your
own case. Are you satisfied with

He spoke with sneer that did not
escape Caylesham'S notice. 1t drew
another smile from him
That's a home question: didn't
question you as straight as that Well.
I'll tell you. 1 won't pretend TO feel
what I don't feel; I'll tell you as
truly as I can" He paused a mo-
ment. I've had lots of fun he went

didn't expect to get it for nothing.
and / haven't got IL for nothing.
Sometimes I got It cheap, and some

them if 1 can help It. 1 don't think
I've got anything to complain about"
He put his cigar back into his mouth.

twisting the cigar between his teeth.
What a contempt for him young
Blake hadi Was ever man so ignO-
rant Of his true self? Was ever man
so sunk in degradation and so utterly
unconscious Of It? Caylesham could
look back on a life spent as his had
been-could look back from the
middle-age TO which he had now
come, and find nothing much amiss
with it, Blake surveyed his groveling
form from high pedestals Of courage
and Of wisdOm-absolutely Of virtue
pure and undef1led.
Nothing very ideal about that!"
Good Lord. no! You wanted the
truth. didn't you?"
We'll, I suppose I thought Ike
that once-I was contented with that
once"
You certainly used to give the i'm
preston of bearing up under II"
smiled Caylesham. But things are
changed now. are they?"
Yes, thank GOdi Imagine going
on like that all your life!'
Caylesham threw himself into a
chair with a hearty laugh.
Now we have gone as far as we
can with discretion" he declared.

What do you mean by that?" asked
Blake rather angrily.
We'll, I'm not an idiot. am I, as
we'll as a moral defOrmity?"
Il don't know what you're talking

Yes, but I know what you've been
talking about. Blake. I know 1t all
propose to ask"
Blake rose with a sulky air and
tossed away the end Of his cigarette.
And what's that2"
The lady's name, my boy" said
Caylesham, placidly.
This talk was fuel to Blake's
flame. It showed him the alterna-
tive-the only alternative. (He for
got that suggestion about the Hima-
layas, which did not. perhaps, de-
serve to be forgotten.) And the al
tentative was hideous to him now
hideous in it's loss Of all nobility. of
all the ideal, in its cynically open
eyed acceptance Of what was low and
base. He would have come to that
but for Sibylla. But for him, even
Sibylla-Sibylla mated to Grantley-
might have come to 1t also. 1t was
from such a fate as this that they
must rescue one another. One wise
decision, one courageous stroke, and
the thing was done. Very emo
tlonal, very exalted, he cOntraSted
with the life Caylesham had led the
life he and Sibylla were to lead. Could
any man hesitate? With a new i'm
petus and with louder self-applause he
turned to his task of persuading ST.
bylla to the decisive step.
Part Of the work was accomplished
Sibylla had cast Grantley out of her
heart; she disclaimed and denied both
her love and her obligation to him.
The harder part remained: that had
been half done in her vigil by the
baby's cot. But II was ever in danger
OF being undOne again. A cry from the
boys lips, the trustful clinging of his
arms from day to day, fought against
Blake Only in those gusts OF un-
natural feeling, those sDasms Of re-
pugnance born Of her misery, was she
in heart away from the child On
these Blake could not rely, nor did he
seek to, since to speak of them brought
her to instant remorse; but left to be
brooded over IN silence they might help
him yet. He trusted his old weapons
more-his need of her love and her
need TO give 1t. Caylesham's life gave
him a new instance and added strength
to his argument, He told her Of the
man. though not the mans name,
sketching the life and the state of mind
it brought a man TO.
That was my life till you came" he
said. THAT was what was waiting for
me. Am to go back to that?'
He could attack her on another side,
too.

in order" answered John, facetiously
rebukng curiosity.
I expect you've come about papa" :"
observed Vera, with disconcerting
calmness and an obvious contempt for
this joke.
I'm going to start, anyhow" de-
clared poor Suzette. Come along,
dears, do"
Well, if there's a great row, Gar
refill hear some Of il and tell US" said
Sophy, consoling herself and her sis
ters as they reluctantly walked away
from the center Of interest.
John FanshaWs happiness was with
him stiIl-the happiness which Gayle
sham's check had brought. II was not
banked yet. but il would be tomorrow;
and. in the last two days John had
taken steps TO reassure everybody, to
tell everybody that they would be
paid without question or difficulty, to
scatter the cloud Of gossip and suspi-
cion which had gathered round his
credit in the city. 1t was now quite
understood that Johns firm had wealth
cred any trouble which mad threat
ened il, and could be trusted and fully
relied on again. Hence Johns happy
mind, and, a result Of the happy mind,
a sanguine and eager wish to effect
some good, to bring about some sort Of
reconciliation and modus vivendi, in
the Courtland family. His hopes were
not visionary or unreasonable; he did
not expect TO establish romantic bliss
there; a modus vivendi commended
itself to him as the best way of ex-
pressing what he was going TO suggest
10 Lady Harriet. In this flush Of happy
and benevolent feeling he was really
glad that he had consented to under
take the embassy.
Lady Harriet liked John Fanshaw.
She called him John and, though he did
not quite venture to reciprocate the
familiarity, he felt that II gave him
position in dealing with her. Also he
thought her a very handsome woman;
and. since she was aware Of this, there
was another desirable element in their
acquaintance. And he thought that he
knew how to manage women-he was
sure he would not have made such
bad job Of it as poor Tom had. So he
went in without any fear. and found
Justification in the cordiality Of his
welcome. Indeed the welcome was too
cordial inasmuch as il was based on
an erroneous notion.
You're the very man Of all men l
wanted-tO seei ! was thinking Of send
ing for you. Come and sit down, John,
and I'll tell you all about it,
But I know all about it," he pro-
tested, and 1 want TO have talk to
you
Nobody can know but me; and 1 be-
lieve you're the best friend / have. /
want TO tell you everything, and take
your advice how I'm TO act"
Evidently she did not suppose that he
was in any sense an ambassador from
her husband He was to be her friend

To Aid the Indians First

The government is not overlooking its wards in this part of the country, says the Mesa Free Press. The Indians will be the first provided for in the general plan of irrigation. We have it frt,m an absolutely reliable source that as soon as the telephone line is completed to the damsite, 6 transmis. sion line will bs run from the basin to the head of the Arizona canal, and from there electric power will be con veyed to the Gila Indian reservation for the purpose of pumping water for the use Of the Indians. The latter are practically without water at present. The whites have diverted every inch from the upper Gila, leaving the na- tive Americans high and dry. To re- lieve them of their difficulties will be one of the first benficent works of the government in connection with the TontJ proposition.

Beer Emptied Into North River

A New York dispatch of January 26 says: Three thousand barrels of good beer are pouring into the North river from the old Stein brewery in Fifty seventh street west of Tenth avenue. The Stein brewery is about to go out of business, having sold to Mrs. Schmidt, proprietor of the Lion brew- cry, it's custom. Not being able to sell quickly the stock of beer the firm must either renew it's bond on Febru. ary l, giving $75, ,O0O security and, be- fore selling the beer put 5000 worth Of stamps on the barrels, or destroy 1t. It was decided to be economy to charge the beer to profit and loss. So at lO:3O a. m. today, in the presence of two officers the spigots in several huge vats were turned on and the beer al lowed to flow on the floor and through pipes into the sewers. It will take all Of tomorrow to run of what re mained In the vatS tonight.

Tendency of the Times

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world Is being given to the subject. Ii is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dat gerous diseases that med Teal me have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's oough Remedy. Pneumonia always re- snlta from a cold or from an attack of influenza grip, and it has been ob- served that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneu- monla' This has been fully proven in ma thousands of cises iu which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds aud grip in recent !garS' and can be relied upon with i'm pIlclt confidence.

Declined With Thanks

H. s. Phelps is in some doubt as to whether he is the victim of practical joke, or whether the self-appointed
 committee on organization were really in need of his services. At any rate, MT Phelps has received very pathetic appeal from couple of gen tlemen signing themselves T. E. Far ish and Wm. B. Cleary, soliciting his assistance in organizing a William Randolph Hearst club. MT. Phelps says he has no particular grievance against William Randolph Hearst, and if the latter wants club let him have it. But MT. Phelps does not feel called upon to quit his ranch and rush out into the wilds of the democratic woods to help get that club.-Mesa Free Press.

ANOTHER MINING DEAL
Michigan People to Acquire Valuable
 Mining Ground at Bisbee

From one of the pirties directly in terested in the big million dollar deal that is under way in this city at the preSsnt time, it was learned yesterday that the deal would undoubtedly be closed before the end of the present week. It was learned yesterday also that negotiations have been under way for this particular piece of property between Duluth capitalists and Blsbee men for several months. It is true that s7jO, 900 was offered last year and refused by NIT. Shattuck and his asso- ciates.
 The location of the ground, between the Calumet X Ariz Jna and Copper Qneen, makes it very desirable prop erty. It is spoken of very highly by old miners who have for years been in the employ of the Copper Queen. The purchase of this property means much for Bisbee. Undoubtedly it will be worked on the sams large scale as the Calumet X Arizona and should quickly take its place among the active producers of the district. This year the output of the district will un- doubtedly be materially increased.
 The Copper Queen, the Calumet & Arizona, Calume. x Pittsburg, and
 Lake Superior & PItt,burg are among the producers assured for this year
 with several other producers tO hear from. Review
