Lewis viii know of the capture Of
Norton almost as soon as Norton him

she waved her gloves and INDUCED in
a few jig steps in which Kate Joined.
The telegram came at 8 o'clock in
the morning. It was private and long
enough to eat up small fortune. But
in the anticipation of a blazing tri-
umph, the consideration OF dollars and
dimes disappeared as mist before the
sun, and they sat down eagerly to the
composition Of as striking an account
as could be devised from tine jerky sen
fences Of the dispatch, and the account
of the chase which had been enclosed
with the letter from Lewis. By half
past four il was done. Lights flashed
in the Telegraph's rooms and the type
settlers were at work But there was
no sleep for the editors. The stimula-
ton of the telegram was too much.
They sat in their Office ana talked,
every molecule in their respective make
ups vibrant with the anticipation of
victory.
The gray of dawn was beginning to
creep w the streets and the birds to
twitter drOwsily in the OLD oaks, when
the Office boy sheepishly pOked his head
in at the door of their sanctum. His
appearance BODIED misfortune. His eyes
were wide open and his jaw dropped.
His whole body was limp and his
tongue paralyzed. He did not speak
until ElinOr, anticipating something
direful, flew at him, catching him by
the shoulder, and demanded wha- his
tongue was made for. Then he man

night and We won't gir no more fore
the middle of the day" And then he
added: 1.-THE foreman made me tell ye,
cause he didn't like to do it hisself"

By that time the Times would have the
news. Defeat again stared them in the
face.
It was Kate who rallied first this
time. What time in the morning does
the Times leave che prsss?"
Half past nine" replied the boy
"ElinOr, with the type already set
how long would it take to get ont a
few Of these extras to begin On?"
There was a newborn hope in Hates
eyes that reused EIlnor.
IF we had the paper by a quarter
out q few damps. anyhow, before the
Times left the press" said she eagerly.
Good Then we'll do it. Tn going
now. Be sure to have everything
ready. No, don't say a word to me-"
And calling to the office boy, Come up
to my room at a quarter to eight" she
disappeared, leaving EiiuOr saying to
herself, Il wonder if Kate Brown in

After two hours % sleep and a cold
plunge, Kate Brown, fresh as a lark,

made gown, presented herself at the
