HARPER | nRoMKRs
CHAPTER Xv-tContinued.) )

CHAPTER XV--tContinued.) 'Never mind, old man; I'll bring her back" said Burrell and laid comfort ing hand on Gales shoulder, for the | fact that she was safe, the fact of knowing something, relieved him im- l mensely, but Starks next words plung- ed him into even blacker horror than the trader felt.
 You won't want her If you catch her. Runnion will see to that"
 "Runnionv'
 "Yes. l sent him with her"
 The lover cried out in anguish and hid his face in his hands.
 He's wanted her for long time, so I told him to go ahead" None of them noticed Poleon Doret, who upon this unnatural confession alone seemed to retain sufficient con- trol to doubt and to reason. He was thinking hard. straightening out cer- tain facts and trying to square this horrible statement with things he had seen and heard tonight. All of sud den he uttered great cry and bolted out into the darkness unheeded by Gale and Burrell, who stood dazed and distraught with fear greater than that which was growing in Stark at sight of his wounds The gambler looked down at his in- juries, opened and closed the fingers of his hand as if to see whether he still maintained control of them, then cried out at the two helpless men:
 Well, are you going to let me bleed to deathw
 It brought the soldier out of bis trance.
 "Why-no, no! Wen get a doctor"
 But Gale touched him on the shoui- der and said:
 He's too weak to get out Lock him in and let him die in the dark"
 Stark cursed affrightedly, for it Is a terrible thing to bleed to death In the dark. and in spite of himself the lieu tenant wavered.
 "I can't do that. I promised
 He told that lie to my girl. He gave her to that hound" said the trauer, but Durrell showed him through the door.
 1No; can't do thatr' And then to the wounded man he said. ''Ill get doctor, but God have mercy on your soulw He could not trust himself to talk further with this creature nor be Eear him any longer, for, though he had slight knowledge of surgery, he would sooner have touched loath- some serpent than the flesh of this nionstrous man.
 He pushed Gale ahead of him, and the old man went like a driven beast, for his violence had wasted itself, and he was like person under the spell of a strong drug.

I"O the girl crouching h tn l stern of Runnion's boat 1 seemed as If this day an, l night would never end. I seemed as if the procession of natura events must have ceased, that ther, was no longer any time, for she hat been suffering steadily for hours and hours without end and began to won der dreamily whether she had no skipped day in her reckoning be tween the time when she first heard of the strike on her claim and thi: present moment. It occurred to hel that, she was rich girl now In hel own right, and she smiled her crooked smile as she reflected that the thing she had longed for without hope of attainment had come with confusins sviftness and had left her unhappier than ever.
 Restless and tired of her lonely vigil Sue. gave a premonitory cough and said to her companion:
 You must be tired rowing so stead. Tyr"
 "Oh. don't mind it!' he replied.
 At the sound of his voice she sat bolt upright. It couldn't be. If this were Runnion he would have spoken before. She ventured again tremulously
 Have you any idea what time 1t Is ?'
 "About 8 o'clock, fancy"
 "Who are yOu?" The question came like shot.
 Don't you know?"
 "What are you doing here, Mfr. Run- nion"
 "I'm rowing" he answered care lessly.
 "I've changed my mind, Mfr. Run. nion," she said. "I don't want to 20 down to the mission. l want you to take me back"
 "Can't do it," he said. 'The current is too swift"
 "Then set me ashore and I'll walk lack. It can't be far to town"
 Twenty-Five miles. We've been out about three hours"
 Please do as I ask you, MT. Run. nion. I've decided don't want to 20 any farther" He laughed, and the sound aroused her. Put me ashore this minute!' she cried indignantly. "What do you mean?"
 When he made no answer, except to continue the maddening monotony of his movements. she was seized with a rash resolve to wrench the oars out of his hands and made quick motion toward him. at which he shouted:
 "Sit down! Do you want to upset usT'

 stark told me to board the first boat for St. Michael's," he said, "but I've made few plans of my own the last hour or so."
 "St. Michael's! MT. Stark told you why, that's impossible! You misun- derstood him. He told you to row me to the mission. I'm going to Father Barnum's house."
 "No, you're not, and I didn't misun. derstand him. He wants to get you outside, all right, but I reckon you'd rather go as Mrs. Runnion than as the sweetheart of Ben Stark"
 Are you crazy?" the girl cried. "Mr. Stark kindly offered to help me reach the father at his mission. I'm nothing to him, and I'm certainly not going to be anything to you. If I'd known you were going to row the boat I should have stayed at home, because I detest you.'
 He rested again on his oars and said, with deliberations.

He's had his eye on you for the last thyee months, and he wants you, but he slipped cog when he gave me the oars. You needn't be afraid, though I'm going to do the square thing by you. We'll stop in at the mission and he married. and then we'll see whether wn want to go to St. Michael's or not, though personally Pm for going back to Flambeau."

 You are absolutely daft" she said. You can't force me to marry you"
 T ain't going to force you. You'll do 1t willingly"
 "Ill die first I'll call the first man we see. I'll tell Father Barnum, and he'll have you run out of the country. It would only take word from me-"
 "If you haven't changed your mind when we get to this place I'll run through without stopping, but there isn't another priest Between there and St. Mikes, and by the time we get to the mouth of the river guess you'll say Yes to most anything. However, I'd rather marry you at Holy Cross if you'll consent, and I'm pretty sure you will when you think it ovcr."
 "We won't discuss it."
 You don't understand yet" he con- tinued slowly. What will people say when they know you ran away with meY
 'I'll tell them the truth"
 Huh! I'm too well known. No man on the river would ever have you after that"
 "You-you"-- Hci voice was a-quiv- CT with indignation and loathing, but her lips could not frame an epithet fit for him. He continued rowing for some time, then said:
 "Will you marry me?'
 No. If this thing Is ever known Poleon will kill you--or father"

are stirred more than they have been
since President Taft took Office by the
announcement of the result of the

The vote was taken among the sub.

in a decisive manner that even the re-
publicans of the country are disgusted
in the extreme with Cannon and Al
drich and their domination of the MAX
