Johnson slowly recovered; the days
passed, and the weeks, while he lin
gered weak and complaining. Dolores
presence annoyed him, and drove him
to fits Of temper, until DR.. Dunwiddie
advised her to remain away from him
as much as possible.
DR.. Dunwiddie regularly drove over
to see johnson once a week, and Mrs
Allen remained in the low, implanted
house in the miost of its desolate gar
den, filing the rooms with her pres
ence, but daily growing more hardened
toward the quiet girl who was winning
Dora's affection away from her, she
told herself. in excuse for her I'M
friendly feeling, but the girl herself,
buried in other thoughts, believed it
was from the kindness of her heart
that she talked to her SO often during
the long evenings of the life outside
Of the quiet settlement and of the man.
ners she would there be expected to
copy, and she accepted in silence the
many words of advice as to her lack
of pride in allowing young Green to
see so clearly her feelings toward him,
and the cautioning uttered with a
kindly smile or soft touch on her arm
against allowing herself to be so in
fluenced by almost an utter stranger
who was kind to her only out OF pity,
and who could never care for her
other than as the merest acquaintance,
she. the daughter of the blacksmith
who was waited for to prove the malice
in the tanning of his mare.

"The deputies?" Dolores repeated
slowly. The softened color and gentle
expression disappeared from her race;
she drew her hands away from Dora 8
clingIng fingers; she pushed back the
hair that had slipped down on ner
forehead Then the deputies had been
searching for her father. That was
what those men were there for that
morning when they stopped and asked
of her where he was.
And If those men of the law came
for him when he was not there, Wneh
every one knew that he was not tnere'
and sought for him over on the oppo-
site mountain among its dangers
would they not come at any time LOT
him to prove their case? Might they
not even insist upon taking him over
to the town in spite of his condition!
Unconsciously her fingers closed over
the flowers in her lap, crushing them
relentlessly.
Two soft hands released the flowers,
and as Dora wiped away the red stains
of the blossoms from her cousins
hands, she said, with a sweet laugh;
Dolores, what is the matter? See
what you have done to the poor, pref
ty nowers-you have killed them;
their blood is on your hands, and your
hands have stained mine
The effect of her words on Dolores
was startling. She drew away her
hands sternly and arose to her feet,
clutching the door post to steady her
self; her face was white, and her eyes
wide and terrified. Young Green, re-
turning from up the mountain, heard
Dora's last words and turned away
with a face as pallid as Dolores.
Dora arose quickly, and clasped her
hands around her cousins arm, raising
her sweet, penitent face to hers.
Dolores, Dolores, l did not mean
that was only joking could not
have meant i'll would not have said
such a thing for the world forgot
you were not used to me. and"
The words ended in violet fit OF
coughing that racked the slender
frame pitifully. Raising her handker-

Young Green entered the house I'M
noticed and spoke to Mrs. Allen, who
came out at once and sat down beside
Dora, placing her arm around her with
low, tender words of comfort.
Young Green came out with cup
of water, and Mrs. Allen thanked him
with a grateful glance, but as she took
It and placed it to Dora's lips she
glanced at Dolores, and her glance
was full of hate; while young Green
himself for the moment dared not
meet her eyes for fear of betraying
what YVES in his mind and heart.
"Will she lie down and rest?" asked
Dolores, presently, still standing at a
distance from her, speaking as though
her lips were stiff.
At sound of her voice Dora opened
her eyes slowly and looked up at her
with faint smile; but Mrs. Allen,
without replying. motioned to Charlie,
who, understanding her wish, crossed
over to the bedroom and tapped light

DUMoNT AIRsHIP DAMAGED.
Gas Bag Is slashed in Many Places
and Almost Destroyed at
st. Louis.

st. Louis, June 29.-Some time dur
ing Monday night the gas bag of San
tos Dumont's airship was cut and
slashed in such a manner as to pre-
clude all possibility Of its being re-
paired in time to allow an ascension
on July 4. The work was apparently
done with jackknife. There are at
least 20 long rips in the bag, and Prof.
Carl Meyers, who has charge Of the
aeronautic contests, declared Tuesday
that 1t will take at least two weeks to
repair the damage.
The big gas bag has not yet been
taken from the crate in which 1t came
from Paris. When the damage was
done, the shed that sheltered the gas
bag was patrolled by a Jefferson guard
and special Waterman who was one
of Mr.. Dumont's employees. Neither
saw anything Of the vandal, and the
damage was not discovered until the
workmen were about to take the bag
from the box.
