CHAPTER XXIl.-Continued.

Good morning" she said, " and,
pushing up her little misty VEIL sat
down with her back to the deserted
breakfast table, and waited meekly
like one who has been summoned
q am very glad you've come" Flora
said. Her wits were still all a-futter
from the appearance of that little
heap of gold. She came forward and
stood in Harry's place. She was face
to face with the person and the ques-
tion, but before the great import of it,
and before the marble front of Clara S
patience she felt helpless. There was
silence in the room, perfect silence in
the garden; but moving along the
hedged walk all at once she saw the
dutter of Mrs. Herrick's gown, and
then in profile Kerr beside her. The
sight of him gave her her proper in
spiration. She turned upon Clara.
What are you going to do with the
picture of Farrell Wand?"
For the first time she saw Clara
startled. Her lips parted, and the
breath that came and went between
them was audible. But she was her.

drummed the table.
Whatever you do" Flora began,

Immediately"
Clara's eyebrows rose like graceful
swallows. you seem to anticipate pret-
ty clearly what | am going to do"
81 suppose you're going to do what
any one would who had a clew and
could bring a person to justice" Flora
candidly responded. But if ever l
have made anything easy for you,
Clara, won't you this time make it
easy for me? I'm not asking you to
give up the picture, I'm only asking
you to wait"
Clara nodded toward the window,
through which Kerr could still be
seen with Mrs Herrick. "On account
of him?"
"On account Of him"
For the first time Clara smiled. 1t
crept out upon her face, as it were
involuntarily, but she sat there smil-
ing in contemplation for quite ten
seconds. At last, You want me to
suppress my information? My dear
Flora, don't you think you want me
to do more than is honest?"
"Honest!" Flora cried. The words
sounded hideous to her on Clara
tongue; and yet what right had she,

crashing in the shrubbery. Then, in
sudden panic at finding herself alone,
she fled back down the willow avenue,
and burst out on the broad drive in
full view of the house.
Kerr was not in sight, but there
was a tremor of disturbance whef1.
all had been still. Clara's face ap-
peared at one of the upper windows
and looked down into the garden.
Then Mrs. Herrick came down the
stairs, and, showing an anxious pro-
file as she passed the door, hurried
away along the lower hall. There was
flutter in the servants quarter, and
from a side door the coachman ap-
peared hatless, in his shirt sleeves,
and ran toward the stable. All the
people of the house seemed to be run
ming to and fro, but she didn't see
Harry. This struck her with unrea-
soning terror. She fled up the drive,
and Clara's small face at the window
watched her.
AS she came into the hall she heard
Kerr's voice. He was at the tele-
phone speaking names she had never
heard in sentences whose meaning
was too much for her stunned senses
to take in; but none the less while
she listened the feeling crept over her
that there was some strange revo-
luton taking place in him. 1t might
be transformation; it might be only
swift increase of his original power.
Whatever it was, he seemed to her
superhuman. The house was full of
him-full Of his rapid movement, his
ringing orders. If he knew that the
sapphire was gone, what was the
meaning of this bold command? Was
he, knowing all lost, plunging gallant.
ly into the clutches of his enemies? Or
was this only blind, splendid piece
of effrontery to cover his too long de.
layed retreat? She sat like a joint,
less thing on the fauteuil in the large
hall, and all at once she saw him in
front of her.
She looked at his hat, his overcoat
his slim, glittering stick-all symbols
of departure.
Wait here" he said, and turned
away.
She watched his shadow dance
across the tagging, and as it slipped
over the threshold she thought DULY
that now the sapphire was gone every
one was going from her.

New Indian Woman.

Glare-in-the-Sun, member Uf the
Spokane tribe, whose forebears hunted
and fished and smoked, as they were
inclined, while their faithful squaws
did menial tasks without word of
complaint, created a sensation among
old timers in Spokane when she ap-
peared in Riverside avenue carrying a
papoose with an ease and indifference
seemingly born of practice.

She listened to the sound of wheels,
first rattling loud on the gravel,
slowly growing fainter. Then stiffness
was with her again. and inanition
She looked around and up, and had
no start at seeing Clara's small face
watching her over the gallery of the
rotunda. 1t seemed to her that ap-
pearance was natural to her existence
now, like her shadow. She looked
away. When she raised her eyes
again Clara was coming down the
stairs, and even at that distance Flora
saw she carried something in her

Flora wondered. Depth below depth!
She could never seem to get to the
bottom of this business. There was
only one thing she could count on,
and that was Clara's impeccable hon.
or in living up to a bargain. Flora
sealed that bargain now. She held out
her futtering slip of paper, still wet
with ink
Very well, in two hours-but take
this now. I would rather you did"
Clara reached the tips of her I'm
gers, touched the paper-and then 1t
was no longer in Flora's hand, and
Clara was walking from her across
the room.

tand-something fiat and small and

tand-something fiat and small and
wrapped in a filmy bit of paper.
Out of the chaos of her feeling rose
the solitary thought-the picture
which she had bought that morning,
the picture of Farrell Wand. She
watched it drawing near her with
wonder. She sat up trembling. She
had great longing and horror to
tear away the filmy paper and see
Kerr at last brutally revealed. She
could not have told afterward whether
Clara spoke to her. She was con-
scious of her pausing; conscious of
the faint rustic of her skirt passing;
conscious, finally, that the small
swathed square was in her hand.
She tore the tissue paper through.
She held a photograph, mounted ko'
dak print. She made out the back
ground to be sky and water and the
rail of a ship with silhouettes OF
heads and shoulders, jungle Of
black; and in the middle distance
caught in full motion the single figure
of a man, back turned and head in
profile. He was moving from her out
of the picture, and with the first look
she knew it was not Kerr.
Her first thought was that there
had been a trick played on her! But
no-across the bottom of the picture,
in Judge Buffers full round hand, was
written, Farrell Wand boarding the
Loeb Ettive." She held it high to the
light. Clara had been faithful to her
bargain. 1t was the picture that had
deceived her. She studied it with
passionate earnestness. She did not
know the bearded profile; but in the
burly shoulders, in the set and swing
of the body in motion, more than all
in the lowering, peering aspect of the
whole figure, she began to see fa-
miliar something. She held it away
from her by both thin edges, and that
aspect swelled and swelled in her
startled eyes, until suddenly the fig
ure in the picture seemed to be NOV
ing from her, not up a gang-plank, but
through a glare of sun over grass be-
tween broad beds of flowers.
She was faint She was going to
fall. She caught at the chair to save
herself, and still she was dropping

Although the returns from Satn@-
days primary election in El,'s

slowly that night the figures that
we're obtained Sere practically Off
efal and with the exception OF one
or tao instances they were sufficient
10 make known the result without
waiting for the executive committee
10 canvass the taliey lists. Monday
all the boxes reported with tf. ex-
cepsion OF West Waxahaehie and that
night the counting was finished In
that box. This enabled us to post the
vote received by each candidate in
every box In the county for the in
spection OF the public. Al almost any
hour during Tuesday and Wednesday
some one could be seen at the board
with paper and pencil taking down
the vote received by their friends in
the various contests. Many farmers
OF the county took advantage OF this
opportunity to learn the final result.
As a whole the figures were the
most accurate ever obtained by this
paper. and we desire to thank the
election judges for their promptnsss
In reporting The board was taken

THE ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT
Sometimes signifies Genius and
Sometimes Bore.


The artistic temperament is very
common complaint, or distinction,
nowadays, and you need no. be an
artist to have it. Indeed L Is usually
conspicuous not so much in artists
as In people who would Ike to be
artists. but unfortunately are ineap-
able of producing works OF art. The
artist himself, IL ne has al artistic
temperament, can relieve him self OF
ii in his art. Indeed. the artist, a.
soon as he begins to express bimssn
in his art becomes represeatatise
that is what distinguishes hia fram
a club bore. He speaks for all r.ar-
Kind or for whole classes of rnea.
even when he seems to be airing his
own private woes: whereas the poor
club bore speaks only for himself,
aud no one wants 10 hear shat he
has to say. He. very likely. suffers
extremely from the artistic ten 2 ara
ment. for bore is usually man
who would be an artist II he e8Jtj
and who becomes bore b-raHse Ae
is always trying to express himself
in vain
The artist, whatever material
troubles he may have. IL one who
succeeds In the main and spiritual
purpose OF his life. He knows what
he wants TO do, and he docs IL. But
we associate the artistic tempefE
ment with failure and vague dissat-
isfaetion, with those who would al
ways rather be doing something i.f-
ferent from what they are doin.s In
fact. with the man who has soul
above hts work and who cannot sstis
~ his temperament In his ~crk.
Those who regard all art as by
Its origin when they enjoy II, az
they try to forget geese with lis
eased livers when they eat pate DE-
foie gras, are of course ready enough
to associate art with the artistic tess.-
permanent. and this epicnrism Is
mainly accountable for the fact that
the artistic temperament Ii COW y
very fashionable compliant. Ear
there must be something fine sbo.s
IL IL 1t produces art. and those who
have 1t. even II they are not artists.
must be OF the same nature with ar
lists, mute. inglorious Millions per-
haps. but still Millions only mute by
some trick Of fate Therefore. they
indulge themselves in the artistic
temperament. whereas they ought
to try to cure it like indigestion. -
