CHAPTER xI. Harold's Resolve.


 After an unmeasured time. whilst he was thus pondering with set browe. he was startled by Leonard's voice at his side:
 'Ts that you. Harold? must have been asleepr Harold remained silent. amazed at the change. Leonard went on, he was quite awake and coherent now:
 "Ry George! must have been pretty we'll cut don't remember thing af- ter coming down the stairs of the club and you and the hall-porter helping me up here. I say. old chap, 1t was good of you to take charge of me. I hope haven't been a beastly nuis- ancew Harold answered grimly:
 "Tt wasn't exactly what I sh ould have called its' Then. after looking keenly at his companion. he said: Are you quite awake and sober now7"
 "oute." The answer came rather dehantly; there was something In his questioner's tone which was militant and aggressive. Before speaking fur ther Harold pulled up the horse. They were now crossing piece of bare moorland. where anything within Q mile could have easily been seen. They were quite alone and would be undis- turbed. Then he turned to his com panion.
 "You talked a good deal in your drunken sleep-if sleep 1t was. You appeared to be awake" Leonard an' | swered
 T don't remember anything of 1t. l | must have been dreaming. What did | say?"
 T am going to tell you. You said something so strange and so wrong that you must answer fof it. But firs' | must know its truth" (Continued Tomorrow).

Harold saw his state in time and ar rested his own movement to take him by the throat and dash him to the ground. Even as he looked at him m scornful hate. the cart gave q lnrch and Leonard fell forward. Instictively Harold swept an arm round him and held him up. As he did so the uncou- sciousness of arrested sleep came; Leonard's chin sank on his breast and he breathed steftorously.
 cfrcled in a tumult. Vague ideas Of take flashed up and paled away. ln- tentfon reyolye upon itself till it's weak side was exposed. and 1t was abandoned. He could not doubt the essential truths of Leonard's statement regarding the proposal of marriage. He did not understand this nor did he try to. His own love for the girl and the bitter awaking to it's futility
 made him so hopeless that In his own desolation all the mystery of her doing and the cause of 1t was merged and lost His only aim and purpose now
 was safety. One thing at least he
 could do; by fair means or foul stop
 f,eonard's mouth, SO that others need not know of her shame! He groaned aloud as the thought came to him. Beyond this first step he could do nothing. think of nothing as yet. And he could not take this first step till Leonard had so far sobered that he could understand.
 And so waiting for that time to come. he drove on through the silent, night.

CARD oE THANKS.

Heaven in designing the wonderful
universe so planned it that one crea-
ture is dependent upon another in
some way for the varieties of life.
In giving to us Jur fellow-brother
as an Immediate companion and friend,
she gave us that which was highest
and best on earth. But FOR our friends
in our sad sad hours of mourning for
our lost Arthur, how could we have
lived to behold another day?
What can We say to thank our
friends for the noble service, the kind
sympathizing words the beautiful
songs and lovely flowers which they
showered upon us with all willing
ness.
Such tokens are to the sad faint
heart as the pearly dewdrops to the
whitening rose-they bring a fresh
breath of life and whisperings of real
pure love from Him who doeth all
things we'll May heaven shower
upon you-the sweet breath of ever
lasting life.
With thankfulness,
EVELYN GREEN
and Brothers.

STREET CAR cANDUcToR AS.
SAULTS WOULD-BE PAS
SENGER

While attempting to board a street
car last Saturday night with his wife,
Mr. Jack Vaughn received very ugly
knife wound on the head AS Mrs.
Vaughn was entering the car she came
in conflict with the passengers leav-
ing the car. This so angered the con-
ductor. L. N. Smotherman, that he as
saulted Mr.. Vaughn, with results as
stated above.
Both of the men in the case were ar
rested. The evidence at the trial be-
fore the City Judge Monday showed
that Smotherman was the aggressor
and that Vaughn merely defended
himself from the attack. Judge Baker
fined the conductor $40, and the case
against Vaughn was dismissed.
