Temporarily the idler had stepped

fight for his own, naked hands against
firearms, If 1t need be. True, he had
but to step into the gunroom to find
weapons in plenty; but these must be

precious moments wasted in the pro-

long and velvet-black shadows skulked

These opened from ceiling to floor
and should by right have presented to
his vision a blank expanse of dark
glass. But, oddly enough, even while
thinking of his lawyers warning, he
had fancied. "Ah!" said
Maitland, softly.
A disk of white light, perhaps foot
or IS inches in diameter, had fitted
swiftly across the glass and vanished.
"Ah, an! The devil. the devil"
murmured the young man, uncon-
sciously.
The light appeared again, dancing
athwart the inner wall of the room,
and was lost as abruptly as before. On
impulse Maitland buttoned his top
coat across his chest, turning up the
collar to hide his linen, darted stealthily
a yard or two to one side, and with
one noiseless bound reached the floor
of the veranda. A breath later he
stood by the front door. where, at
first glance, he discovered the means
OF entrance used by the midnight ma
rauder; the doors stood ajar, black
interval showing between them.
So that, then, was the way! eau

knob and pushed.

A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee and her experience is In

During the two years of my train

After being married, Husband

feared that IL had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved to

CHAPTER III.
Handsome Dam"

Standing in the middle of the road,
watching the dust cloud that trailed
the fast disappearing motor car, Mr..
Maitland cut a figure sufficiently for
lorn and disconsolate to have distilled
pity from the least sympathetic heart.
His hands were thrust stiffly at full
arms length into his trousers pockets;
a rumpled silk hat was set awry on
the back of his head; his shirt bosom
to casual glance, he presented the
appearance of man carefully attired
in evening dress; below, his legs were
sodden and muddied, his shoes of
patent leather, twin wrecks. Alas for
jauntiness and elegance, alack for ease
and aplomb!
"Tricked," observed Maitland, cas-
ually, and protruded his lower lip,
thus adding to the length of counter
ance naturally long. "Outwitted by a
chit of girl! Dammit"
But this was crude melodrama Real
izing which, he strove to smile; a sor-
ny failure.
Handsome Dam" quoted he; and
cooking his head to one side eyed
the road inquiringly. Where in thun-
der d'you suppose she got hold of that
nance"
Bestowed upon him in callow col
lege days, ii had stuck burr-like for
many weary year. OF late, however,
its use had lapsed among his acqna.n,
tances; he had begun to congratulate
himself upon having lived it down.
And now 1t was resurrected, flung at
him in sincerest mockery by woman
whom, to his knowledge, he had never
before laid eyes upon. Odious appella-
ton, hateful invention of an ingenious
enemy!
Handsome DAM She must have
known me all the time-all the time
was making an exhibition of myself.
Wentworth? know no one of
that name. Who the dickens can
she be?"
II IL had not been contrary to his
code of ethics, he would gladly have
raved, CRASHED his teeth, footed the
dance of rage with his shadow. In
deed, his restraint was admirable, the
circumstances considered. He did
nothing whatever but stand still for a
matter of five minutes, vainly racking
his memory for clue to the identity
of Miss Wentworth"
At length he gave it up in despair
and abstractedly felt for his watch fob
Which wasn't there. Neither, investi
cation developed, was the watch. AZ
which browning stroke of misfortune
the timepiece must have slipped
from his pocket into the water while
he was tinkering with that infamous

with an effort to resume his pose, IFS
q high one to pay for wave Of gray
glove and the echo of a pretty laugh.
With which final fling at Fortune he
set of again for Maitland Manor,
trudging heavily but at round pace
through the dust that soon settled
upon the damp cloth of his trousers
legs and completed their ruination
But Maitland was beyond being dis
turbed by such trines. A wounded
vanity engaged his solicitude to tn,

pens in the winter season that as
cyclonic center moves eastward
from British Columbia to Manfto.
ba while an anti-cyclonic follows
across Utah, an extended cyclonlc
circulation is developed over the
mountoin region. The winds that
blow northward along the plains,
as the cyclone advances, are soon
supplanted by westerly winds, and
as these descend from the noun
tains and flow out upon the plains,
all the features of the Swiss foehn
are developed. The warm and dry
wind thus produced over a belt OF
country along the foot of the noun
tains is called a chinook.
A legendary tale has it that the
term chinook as applied to these
peculiar winds came into general
use among the residents along the
Willamette and Columbia rivers
many years ago in this wise: Be-
coming weary of padding up the
river in canoes, tie Chinook In

stir at a l,yely rate the residents
would remark "Now watch out

origin of the name.

Origin of Name Chinook.

What is a chinook wind? The
question is often asked by recent
arrivals from the Eastern states
to whom the name has no mean
ing. Webster defines it thus:
ga warm westerly wind from
the country of the Chinooks some-
times experienced on the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountains In
Montana and the adjacent terri
tory"
Webster might have added that
it is experienced all along the Pa
ciic coast, particularly in Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia,
where the warm breezes originate
and have their greatest effect. And
he also might have stated they are
of frequent occurrence on the east
slope of the Rocky mountains,
where, in a few hours, they have
b zen known to wipe out snow cov-
ering the entire landscape to the
depth Of two or more feet. In
midwinter a chinook is likely to
occur over there and soon chan 9

Chinook is the name of tribe

were readily understood by In

Relative to what a chinook wind

1T Is a wind passing over a

chinook winds in a book entitled,

was published in 1894. But in the

they were called chinook winds.
