That Miss Spencer wal deeply All

the nervous manner in which h
glanced in the direction of those dis.

down there. and he never did 1t at all.
l know he didn't, and SO does Mr..
Wynkoop. Oh, please hurry! No
body knew where you we're, until I
saw your horse tied here, and Mr.
Wynkoop has been hunting for you ev-
erywhere. He is nearly frantic, poor
man and l cannot learn where either
Mr.. Moffat or Mr.. Mcneil is, and I

The girl burst into tears, but strug-

gambler who spoke to me this morn

who did. and SO did Mr.. wynkoop. He
jumped out Of the saloon window, his
hand all bloody, and ran away. But

She asked this question with such
perfect innocence hat Brant believed
she failed to comprehend Hamptop.s
claims.

Il do not At all understand" she
faltered. Truly. Lieut.. Brant, 1 do

not say that without a good and suf-
hcfent reason. He is not a man to
be swayed by prejudice: yet, what
ever the reaso may be, 1 know moth

But you do not answer my last
query"
Perhaps I did not lear It,"
1T was: How do l stand In your
sight? That IL Of far more impor-
lance to me now han any unauthor-

She glanced up into his serious face
shyly. with a little dimple Of returning
laughter. Indeed; but perhaps he
might not are to have me say. How
ever. as I once informed you that you
were very far from being my ideal,
possibly 1t may be my duty to qualify
that harsh statement somewhat"
by confessing that am your
ideal?"
"oh. indeed, no! We never realize
our ideals, o know, or else they
would entirely cease to be ideals. My
confession is limited to a mere admis-
sion that now consider you a very

The tantalizing toni and manner
nerved him; he grasped the white
hand resting invitingly on the grass.
and held 1t firmly within his own.
You only make sport IS you did
once before. 1 must have the whole
truth"
"Oh. no; t. make sport at such q
time would be sheerest mockery. and
l would never dare to be SO free.
Why. remember we are scarcely more
only our third time of meeting. and
you will not release my hand"
Not unless l must, Nadia" and the
deep ringing soberness OF his voice
startled the girl into suddenly uplift-
ing her eyes to his face. What she
read there Instantly changed her mood
from p~layfulness to earnest gravity.
"Oh. please do not-do not say what
you are tempted to-" her voice almost
pleading. Il cannot listen: truly I
cannot; I must not. 1t would make US
both very unhappy, and you would be

to release. bending forward hoping to

strong arms clasped about her, his
lips upon hers.

tell you no! 1 will not CONSENT: I
will not be false to myself. You have

He permitted her to draw away.

eager, mystifed, thrilling with pas
sion almost beyond mastery, she trem-
bling and unstrung, her cheeks GRIM

peal.

She looked frankly at him. 81 do

The end? And with NO explains

There is no other way" He could
perceive tears in her eyes, although
she spoke bravely. Nor can l ex-
plain, for all is not clear to me. But
this I know, there is a barrier between
US insurmountable; not ever the pow
er Of love car overcome It; and I
appeal to o to ask me NO more"
1t was impossible for him to doubt
her sober earnestness, or the depth
OF her feelings; the full truth in her
words was pictured upon her face,
and in h pathetic appeal of her eye.
She extended both hands.
You will forgive me? Truly, this
barrier has not been raised by me-"
He bowed low, until his lips pressed
the white fingers, but before he could
master himself to utter a word In re-
ply, a distant voice called his name,
and both glanced hastily around.
That cry came from the valley"
he said. Il left my horse tied there.
l will go Int learn what it means"
She followed him part of the way
through the labyrinth of underbrush,
hardly knowing why she did so. He
stood alone upon the summit of the
high blum whence he could look
across the stream Miss Spencer stood
below waving her parasol f%rantically,
n even as he gazed at her, his ears
caught the sound of heavy firing down
the valley.

She looked helplessly into his face.
"You-you don't like him." she falter-
cd: Il know you don't. But-but you
will help him. won't you, for my
sake!"
He crushed back an oath. Like
him or not like him. I will ave him If
be in the power of man. Now will
you go?"
Yes" she answered, and suddenly
extended her arms. kiss me first"
With the magical pressure of her
lips upon his, he swung into the sad
die and spurred down the road. It
was q principle Of his military train
ing never to temporize with a mob
he would strike hard, but he must
have sufficient force behind him. He

degree his earlier work done while
in Albuquerque and which brought
him a national reputation.
Mr.. Moon recently spent some time
in the Taos pueblo in northern New
Mexico now rapidly becoming the
mecca for artists who turn to the
southwest. and while there he made
some studies which seem decidedly
the best things he has done. Mr.
Noon has mastered every secret OF
the photographers art and in one "
these recent pictures. Home From
the Hunt" he has made a picture
which is a masterpiece of photo
graphy. An Indian youth is seated
before an adobe fireplace and by o.
combination of paper and light effects
an absolutely realistic freight glow
is thrown over the face. showing dim
ly the outlines Of the room and the
trophies Of the hunt. In conception
and execution the picture is a distinct
achievement and will probably take
its place as the best work Mr.. Moon
has done.

TMentH Years an Invalid

Mrs Margaret Williams, one Of the
oldest residents of Danville, died at
the home of her son, Thomas Lewis,
Little Ash street, at II 80 q. III. yes
terday, having attained the advanced
age of ninety years.
Mrs Williams, who passed her Goth
milestone on the 14th OF March last,
was an invalid for twenty years. She
was native of South Wales, but had
lived in Danville since the year 1911.
She was a member of the Welsh Meth
odist church, here, in which services
we're conducted during many years
while she was in her prime. Owing to
the intirmities of advanced life for
score of years she was cut off from so.
ciety. but she is still very affectionate-
ly remembered by many persons of
middle life.
The deceased is survived by two
sons, David Jones of Huntingdon, and
Thomas Lewis of this city, with whom
the deceased resided, and one daugh-
ter, Mrs Jane Williams, widow, of
Latimer. Luzerne county.

MUST RELAY
THE SWITCH

Charles p. Hancock yesterday stated
that the Danville s. Sunbury Transit
company had expected to run its car
on Mill street between Market street
and the d. l.. 81 W. crossing this
week, but that it had been disappont-
ed Of receiving the services of expert
workmen and thus would be delayed
for few days.
John NJ. Murphy, foreman of the
Shamokin Street Railway company,
who laid the track on the Danville S
Bloomsbury line, was called to this
city by Mr.. Hancock day or so ago
for the purpose of laying out the
switch curve at the corner of Mill and
Market streets. Mr. Murphy looked
over the ground and helped to make
some arrangements for beginning the
work, but he was called back to Sha-
mokin, where just at present his SER
vices can not be dispensed with.
The switch curve at the corner of
Mill and Market streets, while ap-
parently about finished, is really only
a temporary affair and will have to be
wholly reconstructed before the cars
can be run over it. The switch does
not connect with the frog and alto
gether the work required to be done is
Of a very difficult nature, such as will
require the services of an expert track
man.
Before returning to Shamokin Mr..
Murphy made arrangements with MIR.
Hancock to come back to Danville in
few days and replace the present
switch curve with special rails and
make the proper connection.
Meanwhile council will be asked to
grant the street railway company per-
mission to tear up the paving where
the track is TO be changed.
