When Paramount Inn was opened,
among its first patrons was Captain
Stringer of Marshby. He had long
been friend of Captain Larrabee, the
father of the young proprietor Of the
new inn, and he wished to ''see for
himself what kind of a tavern Eddy
would keep"
E=e was taken to one Of the prettiest
rooms, where the proprietor's wife
awaited his opinion. He looked ST.

but when he was at last asked to adj

good time, cannot afford to be so

the young clergyman with CLEAN OF

In his kindly face. "Only yesterday,
dear girl, you would have been
amused at so marvellous transforms
hon. But to me you are always beau
tiful and dear and sweet"
She was keenly conscious Of the
tenderness in the clergyman's voice
and face; there was undoubtedly
something in her own heart that re-
sponded to it, but, alas, it was all
so matter of fact, she could rely too
surely on, what she considered his
commonplace affection. He had
boarded with her aunt, the former
clergyman's widow, since Mar
garet's early girlhood. and she had
passed the half of every year under
the same roof with him.
They were too much on the plane
of humdrum friendship ever to be
anything more, she told herself petu-
lantly.
Her young soul yearned for great

the Kentucky colonel up to? Was he
trying to do the government out of the
$4,000 in gold, feat that would APP

Or was he trying to play Joke on
the detectives?
The affair had now narrowed down
to a pretty close margin, but the de-

was to end was a mystery. On the
