He lifted his hat. 1t was lard to
breathe. 1t was like the still oppres-
siveness preceding an electrical storm.
His mare, unguded had naturally
chosen thu nain-traveled trail and
kept it. She followed the mood of her
master and walked leisurely along
while the man wrestled with himself.
If he really possessed the hardihood
to ask Louise to do this for him she
would laugh at him. Stay! That was
a liza black lie. She would not
laugh-not Louise. She was not of
that sort. Rather would she grieve
over the inevitable sadness of it. If
she laughed, he could bear it better
he had good, stubborn, self-respecting
blood in him-but she would not laugh
And all the rest of his long life must
be spent in Misunderstanding it
could have been! But he would never
ask her to do 1t. Not even If the I'M
possible came to pass. 1t was hard
country on women. n hard, treeless,
unkindly country. Men
could stand it-fight for its future;
but not women like Louise. 1t made
men as well as unmade them. And
after all it did not prove to be the
undoing of men so much as 1t devel-
oped in them the perhaps hitherto hid
den fact that they were already want
ing. These latent, constitutional
weaknesses thus laid bare, the bad
must for while prevail-bad is SO
much noiser than good. But this big,

ties-give it time-it would form men

The hearing of testimony for the
state went on all through that day. 1t
was late when the state rested its
case-so late that the defence would
not be taken up until the following
day. 1t was all in-for veal or for
woe. In some way all of the states
witnesses-with the possible excep-
tion of Munson, who would argue with
the angel Gabriel at the last day and
offer to give him lessons in trumpet
blowing-had been imbued with the
earnest. honest, straightforward policy
of the states counsel. Gordon's friends
were hopeful. Langford was jubilant.
and he believed in the tolerable in
tegrity of Gordon's hard-won jury.
Gordon's presentation of the case thus
far had made him friends; tickle
friends. maybe, who would turn when
the wind turned-to-morrow- true
it was that when court adjourned late
in the afternoon, many who had jeered
at him as a visionary or an unwel-
come meddler acknowledged to them
selves that they might have erred in
their judgment.
AS on the previous night, Gordon
was tired. He walked aimlessly to a
window within the bar and leaned
against 1t. looking at the still. oppres-
sive. cloudy dampness outside. with
the early December darkness coming
on apace. Lights were already twink
ling in kitchens where house wives
were busy with the evening meal.

and well in, old man."

lift isn't my stunt. I'm tired! l feel

Langford was called away for mo-
ment. When he returned, Gordon was
gone. He was not at supper.
He went away on his horse" ex-
planned Louise, in answer to Lang
ford's unspoken question. Il saw him
ride ITO the country"
When the party separated for the
night, Gordon had not yet returned.

Not now. Much labor and sorrow

many must fall and lose in the race

women, when the sun Of the treeless

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
is before the painter applies 1t. The
man who puts up the money should
not shirk the responsibility Of choos-
ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble Is. the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting n bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
job impossible.
Secure your bids on the basis Of
National Lead Company's pure White
Lead and pure Linseed OIL and see
that you get these materials.
No one need be fooled by adulter-
ated white lead. A blowpipe testing
outfit will be mailed to anyone inter
ested in paint.

CHAPTER XVI,

Gordon Rides Into the Country.
Gordon rode aimlessly out of the lit
tie town with its twinkling lights.
He did not care where he went or
what direction he pursued. He wanted
to ride of a strange, enervating dejec-
ton that had laid hold of him the
moment his last testimony had gone
in. 1t all seemed so pitifully made
quate-without Williston-now that it
was all in. Why had he undertaken
it? 1t could only go for another de-
feat counted against him. Though
what was one defeat more or less
when there had been so many? 1t
would be nothing new. Was he not
pursuing merely the old beaten trail?
Why should the thought weigh so
heavily now? Can a man never attain
to that higher-or lower. which is 1T?
altitude of strifeless, unregretful
hardness? Or was it, he asked him
self in savage contempt of his weak
ness. that. despite all his generous and
iron-clad resolutions, he had secretly,
unconsciously perhaps, cherished a
sweet, shy. little reservation in his in

doing 1t made him gasp there in the
= darkness. How sitting the air was!
