Seating himself at a desk, Peter
Burt wrote two letters, and sealed
them. He then opened a huge. iron
bound chest, and for half an hour
was busy with its contents. When his
work was ended, he quilted the room
without SO much as a glance at the
silent figures on the floor. John met
him at the gateway.

he said. Go to your room and select
such tribes as you can carry in your

For elaborate summer toilets all the
gauzes and their weaves of wool and
silk are called into play. Chiffon
cloth, mousseline, wolfe, yelling, chif-
fon louisine and messaline are this
seasons leaders.
Messaline and chiffon louisine have
both been brought out in a host OF ex-
quisite effects.
Among the thin louisines checked
changeable surfaces cannot be pro-
vided by the manufacturer fast
enough.
In chiffon there are stunning pat

in.
As the man crossed the threshold
the patriarch's left arm flew out. and
the corded fingers gripped the reck-
less intruder by the throat. The sec
ond man hit the old farmer a CHANGING
blow with the butt end of revolver
with catlike movement, Peter Burt
wrenched his opponents forearm.

the weapon to the floor. Before he

the room, where the lamplight fell on
their faces. The protruding tongue
and the blood-surged face of the one
who had led the charge caused Peter
burt to relax his hold. and the man
fell limp TO the floor. A glance
showed that his companion was sense
less. and the old man stretched him
out on the carpet.
Peter Burt produced a coil of rope
from a closet. and with the dexterity
of sailor bound the senseless men.

decreed that the events of to-day

nestled for moment on his shout

the live kisses that come from the
heart of a woman whose affection has
passed the mysterious border that sep
arates friendship from love.
Goodbye. John; God bless you and

Goodbye. Jessie; good-bye,"
He watched her as she faded away
from him and disappeared beyond the
vines which shaded the veranda.
Under the arched naples where he
had walked with Jessie so many
times. and down the sandy road
where they had loitered in summer
days now gone forever. John Burt
urged the horse along. 1t was two
miles to Peter Burt's. and he soon
reached the gloomy old house. A fig
ure stood by the gate. John rode for
ward and recognized his grandfather
You did well to come home, my
boy" said the old man, whose deep,
calm voice held an anxious note.
Something has happened, and my
soul has been calling you since dusk.
Ride to the graveyard and I'll follow
you. 1t isn't safe to talh here"
In the far corner of the old grave
yard John Burt hitched his horse and
turned to meet his grandfather. The
old man seated himself on the grave
of the pioneer Burt who. two hundred
years before, had dared the dangers
of the wilderness.
Now we can talk" he said. "Tell
me what has happened"
Quickly John Burt related the Incl
dents of the tragedy.
The old man made no sign during
