CHAPTER Xxx

OA4AA-1 LII IA.
This visit of Jeans was the browning
point OF Audrey's happiness. Jean loved
to watch them strolling together, arm In
arm, through the grounds. She was a
dreamer, and she transformed those two
into every hero and heroine of history or
romance. Day by day she found some
new trait to love and admire.
As for Jack, he cordially liked tbe
pale, intellectual-faced girl; she was bv
nature thorough lady, and her mind
gave evidence of deep thought, that only
required culture to blossom into great
cleverness.
After they had been at Craiglands
fortnight there was hustle and a con-
fusion. Miss Fraser returned to Dinrle-
wood House. She brought back with her
about half dozen guests, among whom
were Mrs. Fairfax and her daughter. the
Honorable Lancelot Twist, and Beverley
hochfort. Lady Daleswater was to join
her in few days, and the earl also prom
ised the honor of his presence.
i suppose we shall be having we'd
ding at Dinglewood before long" declar-
ed Jack, one morning at luncheon.
Audrey was silent for a moment
GLADYS will be at Dinglewood next
week. Must we ask them to dinner?u
she said at length.
Il really don't see why we should. IF
GLADYS wants to visit M6untberry she
ought to come and stay with us she
knows that"
But Sheila asked her first, and we
can't quarrel at her for accepting an In
vitation, can we, Jean?"
why not ask Lady Daleswater TO
come to Craiglands when her visit ends
at Dinglewood HouseY Jean suggested.
timidly.
You may do as You like, Audrey, but
still maintain that Gladys should have
come to US first; there, kiss me, darling.

Audrey ran to the door with him, and
saw him mount and ride awsy.

to dress herself for the occasion.

Audrey fortunately knew nothing Of
the dislike and anger she was causing
by and by she found the atmosphere
very close, for an awning had been raised
on deck that formed an Impromptu ball
room; and bidding the few around her a
Aasty goodnight" she slipped away,
needless that Beverley Rochfort was
watching her and was following close be-
hind her.
Once outside tho awning Audrey drew
deep breath. A few couples were stroll
ing to and fro, but she passed them and
went swiftly aft.
Had she been less dazed and weary she
might have wondered at the sound of a
slight cry quite close, but she was think
Ing of Jack, and all else was lost upon
her.
Il will just breathe some air and then
30 below" she said to herself. ut was
sitting In therev'
She stood looking over the moonlit
waters for moment, and then turned to
30. As she did SO, she was suddenly
blinded, sense of horrible fear and help
lessnes came over her, a strong, sickly
smell penetrated to her brain. She tried
to scream, to strugge-fn vain. Her
limbs lost their strength, her brain reeled
she knew no more.
There was great commotion on board
the Mona that night. BY some mis-
chance Lady John Glendurwood had lost
her footing, and had fallen overheard
into the still, deep waters below, and
BY a miracle of mercy, Beverley Roch-
lort had been near at hand, had plunged
into the water, and, at risk of his own
life, had succeeded in saving hers.
This was the news that was telegraph
ed to John Glendurwood up in Scotland,
and which caused his cheeks to turn
ashen gray, and then made him rush
wildly to the station, en- route for the
south, while Audrey lay still and white
on her luxurious cabin bed, carefully
watched by Mrs. Hungerford and Lady
Daleswater, whose usually impassive
countenance was pale and perturbed
THE shock to the nerves has been very
great" said the doctor, who was sum-
moned hastily; 'but for Mr.. Rochfort's
bravery, my dear Lady Daleswater, her
ladyship would not be alive now"
In dim, far-off way Audrey heard all

came, and she felt his arms holding her
close to his beating heart, her memory did |
not clear she could tell him nothing, for
she knew nothing herself; it only trou-
bled her to think about it. SO Jack took |
the doctors advice and refused to allow
any more questions.
"She is saved, thank heaven, and that |
Il all care !" he said, rather brokenly,
to his sister, and then, when he found
himself face to face with Rochfort, he
went straight up to him. "Rochfort," he
said, quietly, hitherto l have judged you

for that judgment. owe my wife's life

some day, may be able to show my graf

Beverley replied by some graceful
words, but as he was alone, he walked
to the edge of the yacht and looked
across the waters

to himself; now the drama is about to

tered for the time so that Jack was not
happy until he could remove her from
the yacht to the land.
What do you say to a short honey
moon all alone with me before we 20 back
to Craiglands" he whispered to her per
suasively, and his heart rejoiced at the
smile and blush witch which she received
this idea.
And 70, despite all Lady Daleswater
could say, he carried his point, and three
days after her accident Audrey left the
Mona and went to the ouietest and most
solitary part of the island that was to
be found.
She had one brief interview with Bey-
srley Rochfort, and her voice trembled as
she tried to speak her thanks. Willie
Fullerton was standing by, and somehow
It panied and angered him to hear her
doing this

A LUMBER FAMINE
Highest Prices Since 1872
Supply Short and Scarcity
Of Freight Cars.

Lumber dealers in this section o.
the country are becoming anxious
about the supply and the price Of
building material.
The price of lumber and all kinds Of
building material is a hundred pei
cent. higfcr than the prevailing prices
of four or i've years ago. and in fact is
higher than they lave been since 1872
The present condition of the supply
at the mills and theshipping facilities
are such that the local dealer does not
know "where he is at"
A Vinita dealer placed an order last
August with company whose head
quarters is located on the northwest
coast, and a day or two ago, in answer
to hurry up" letter was informed
that it wJuld be impossible to make
the shipment for at least three
months. Three months ago the same
dealer gave a southern mill an order
and few days ago received letter
stating that shipment would be made
in "due time," out failed to stale
when that would be.
The supply seems to be especially
short on shingles and dimension stuff.
Building operations all over the great
where most Of the new
building is now being done, is seriously
retarded by these conditions.
In speaking Of this deplorable state
Of affairs the Tulsa Democrat says:
"Various reasons may be assigned
for the threatened lumber famine 1t
is said that the raw material is becom-
ing scarce, and that the demand is
exceeding the supply. A further rea:
son is assigned in the. scarcity Of cars
for shipping. For the past year the
have been short on cars, Cue
TO the great demand for them which a
year always causes.
"TheD again a reason is assigned
that the lumber trust by causing
of their commodity seeks to
boost prices. In support Of this propo-
sition it is urged that the selling price
1f lumber has been steadily advancing
The past year runtiltoday it has reached
/ high water mark"
The wholesale price of lumber was
again advanced April s.

LARGEST SALES
SINCE OPENING

One of the largest business institu
tions in the new state is the Ratcliff'
Sanders Grocery company with its
two houses located here and at Tulsa
This business has steadily grown from
its, beginning, with only few men in
its employ until it is now recognized
as a very formidable competitor to the
Muskogee and Oklahoma City houses.
The directors Of the Ratclitf-Sanders
Grocery company met in this city yes
terday and reviewed the business of
the past month and planned for the
future advancement Of the company's S
interests. The review showed last
months business to be the largest the
company has ever enjoyed.
