presently ne looked at the bunk,
clean and springy with fresh out spruce
shoots. He went into it, knelt down
and thrust an arm into the empty
space beneath 1t. He got up hastily.
"What have you done with that?" he
demanded, with an angry snarl.
"With what" Harry turned his head
as he set two tin plates on the bare
table.
with what was under here"
"There was nothing there but al old
horse skim" said Harry. "It is hanging
on the side Of the cabin"
With an oath Prendergast flung open
the door and went outside. He re-en
tered quickly with the white hide in
his arms, wrapped it in a blanket and
thrust it back under the bunk.
Has any one been here today since
you put it out there?" he asked quick
~.
mo" said Harry, surprised. "Why?"
Prendergast chuckled. The chuckle
grew to a guffaw. and he sat down,
slapping his thigh. Presently he went
to the wall, took the channels skin bag
from its hiding place and poured some
of it's yellow contents into his palm
'That's why. Do you remember that
eh?"
Harry looked at it. Gold dust" he
said. 81 seem to recall that. l am
going to begin work in the trench to,

Prendergast poured the gold back
into the bag with a cunning look. The
other had asked for no share of It,
At that moment he decided to say
nothing of the evening before, of the
girl or the horseback journey, lest

There's plenty more where that

Of these days"
Prendergast said little during the
meal. When the table was cleared be
lit his pipe and took from a shelf a
board covered with penciled figures
and scrutinized it.
Hope you remember how to play
old sledge?" he said.
Harry did not move. AS they ate
he had been wondering how long he
could abide that sinister presence. AS
he was about to speak a knock came
at the cabin door. and Prendergast
opened it.
The visitor Harry recognized in
stantly. 1t was the man who had
called for fair play at the fight before
the saloon. who had drawn him into
the hotel.
Fielder carried a bundle under his
arm. He nodded CURLY to Prender-
CAST and addressed himself to Harry.
81 am the bearer Of a gift from
some one in the town." he said. Il
have been asked to deliver this to
you" He put the bundle into the
others hands.
Harry drew up one of the chairs
hastily. please sit down." he said
courteously. He looked at the bundle
e%uriously. SET eos dona %ferentes." he
said slowly. "a gift from some one

It and disclosed a battered violin. LET
me explain" he continued. "For the
owner of this you fought a battle yes

later. It seems that you are a master
of the most difficult Of instruments.

securing of the last utensil.
Prendergast looked the orderly inte-

contemptuous amusement. almost

took off his coat and lazily watched

Harry vent out of the cabin. At the
door he turned. "If there is anything
you own here" he said, take it with
you. You needn't be here when l come
back"
His fingers shaking with the black
rage in his heart, Prendergast gath
cred his few belongings, rolled them in
the white horse skin which he drew
from beneath his bunk and wrapped
the whole in a blanket BE fastened
the bundle in a pack strap, slung it
over his shoulder and left the cabin.
He settled his burden and went rapid
ly down the trail, turning over in his
mind his future schemes.
AS it CHANGED. there was one who
saw his vindictive face. Jessica,
crouched on the Knob. had seen him
come and now depart, pack on back,
and guessed that the pair had parted
company. Her whole being famed
with sympathy. She could see his
malignant scowl plainly from where
she leaned, screened by the bushes.
1t terrified her. What had passed be-
tween them in the cabin? She left
the Knob wondering.
All that evening she was i'll at ease.
At midnight, sleepless, she was look
ing out from her bedroom window
across the phantom peopled shadows,
where on the face of the pale sky the
stars trembled like slow tears. Anx.
iety and dread were in her heart; a
pale phantom Of fear seemed lurking
in the shadows; the night was full of
dread.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi.
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in &C ommon cold. Con.
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con.
tracted when the child has a cold. You
will see from this that more real dan.
ger turks in a cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure cold is to
take Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made it a sta.
pie article of trade over large part of
the world. For sale by Hays & Field

To REFORM
THE BOWERY
Hearst News Service.

New York, October 2O.-New York's
famous thoroughfare, the Bowery,
which has reputation not altogether
cretiable, is to be redeemed by the
new Christian psychology. The heal
ing system known as the Emmanuel
movement, which had it's origin in
Boston. was tried out at old st. Mark s
in the Bowery last night. and is likely
to be a permanent feature of that
Episcopal church.
The correction of bad habits and
the cure of functional nervous dis
orders are the principal aims of the
Emmanuel missionaries, and they
will have large field in the Bowery.
DR.. Elwood Worcester, a prominent
Episcopal clergyman of Boston, origi-
mated the movement, which has al
ready spread it's influence among An
glican churchmen throughout the
world.

1t was one of Mr.. Fcnton's ideas to
have a fixed time for supper. when all
the guests should sit down together. He
wanted one long table, but Billy had
insisted upon the party being broken up
into smaller ones, and had of course gain
ed his point. Moyra was some time in
finding all those in whom she was inter-
ested. Terry was carrying on his custom
airy Irritation with Lila Hamilton.
II really believe he is in earnest this
time Moyra thought.
Her father was occupied with MRS.
Fenton. Aileen was the center of a
crowd Of young fellows, who had evident
ly elevated her into FIRST favorite. She
was not as a rule popular with young
men. who considered her stiff. and too
fond of snubbing a fellow just because
she was so beastly clever'-as Moyra had
once heard a victim say. But this even
ing she was as sirlish and as pleasant as
it vas possible to desire. She said smart
things, she danced perfectly, and looked
quite pretty, and. above all. Billy Fen
ton was evidently a~wfuIly gone on her,
so naturally the other unattached young
men followed suit.
Aileen was enjoying herself to the ut
termost, with a desperation akin to the
spirit of the old heather saying. Let US
eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow
we die" Tomorrow would come the del
uge, for tonight she would enjoy herself
as she chose. Tomorrow she would
remember the tripos and the Cause. To-
night she would drink the cup of pleas
ure to it's dregs. She sat out two dances
with Lewiston, who was quieter and more
reserved than ever; then, feeling she had
done her duty, she devoted the rest Of
the evening to the pleasures Of the kitch-
en- %lancers.
Il think I am fey tonight" she said
at supper. Il nave never enjoyed a dance
so much.
Haven't you? Billy said. "My en-
joyment is coming. l have done my duty
only so far.
This he had certainly done, and as he
led Aileen from the supper room more
thar one watched them with kindly
glances, and remarked that 'he was a
downright good fellow"
Aileen soon decided he was a very good
dancer, and it was a point On which she
was very critical. Their steps suited
we'll.
ut is the first time we nave ever dane

I'VE get on all right, don't we?'
Aileen made no verbal answer, but
Billy was quite satisfied with the little
nod and smile she gave him.

was taken out of the United States last
year by aliens returning to their former
homes in Europe. This computation is
based on figures furnished by steamship
agents, money changers and others in a

the assumption that the average amount
carried by returning foreigners is $500,
and that 55O,045 immigrants returned to
their native land. 1t is estimated that
this 5000 will maintain him in absolute
idleness for a year or more, and when
the money is gone he will return. A pc
