But fortunately the doctors fears
were not realized, for when on the
following day Talbot called at he1
house to inquire concerning the
girls condition he was told that she
was already on the point of recov-
cry.
Miss Hope is anxious to see you,
sir" said the servant. "Will you
step into the library ?"
The young man followed the foot
man through the passage, and mo-
ment later he stood in. the hand

lying on an ottoman, and she rose
slightly as he entered.
s'How glad | am to see you'll" she
said softly. 'eBut, oh, how can ]
thank you for what you did last
night? One cannot thank a person
for saving ones life as if it was q

took her hand.

-sNow, suppose you bring up chair

There was something in her face
and in her voice which wooed conf

found himself in the act of reciting
his story, ending with the episode
which had made him the fourteenth
guest at the dinner party on the
previous evening.

Talbot's heart beat with wondroui

Needles In England.

Needles were first made in Lon
don by a negro from Spain in the
reign Of Queen Mary. He died, how
ever, without imparting the secret
Of his art, and it was lost until 1865,
when it was recovered in the reign
of Elizabeth, and Elias Growse, q
German, taught the art to the Eng
ish. The manufacture Of needles
was then again lost to England for
nearly a century, but about 1850 it
was recovered BY Christopher Green

something that happened to him
when, in the self confidence Of his
youth, he was prospecting near what
IS now Leadville. He had been after
a load Of supplies and rode into
camp alone at noon one day. II
was no uncommon thing for stran-
ger to come to camp and wait for
the owners return, so the pros
pector was not surprised to see

hut or shelter.

the guest, / cast the. lash rope from

move the load. He responded cheer
fully, and that done I told him to
rustic little wood and we'd have
dinner. He quickly brought a load

further service he could perform.

work, l told him he could fill the
camp kettles at the creek. After

"My name is Logan" he replied.
For the first time I scrutinized
his face. There could be no mis-
take in the dark, swarthy features
of the man, the long hair, the high
cheek bones. Smiling a sickly smile,
I slowly rose, stretched my hand
across the table, grasped his and

press my regret at not having been
