Nichols pulled his hat well down

wore.

woman's an adventures. but how am

lay more bewitched7 II only she
claimed some civilized country-but
Poland. where haven't friend-or
even an enemy!"
John Nichols and Cyril Thornton
were close friends. Nichols, much
the elder, and Cyril's sister were to
have been married, but she died.
Nichols was q lawyer from New
York, and in the interest of client
was now In Los Angeles. Cyril, re-
covering from typhoid, had come
with him for a quicker convalescence.
Everything had been going on
smoothly when their train met with
an accident.
They had escaped injury and saved
the life OF a beautiful woman. The
woman, whom Cyril thought the
most charming he had ever seen, was
very grateful. apparently very frank.
Her name, she said, was Marie
Iaska she had been widow two
years. Her father-and she said this
with lowered voice-was deep in
Polish politics. He had sent her
away fearing she might come under
suspicion. She never would have left
Vim, but Illness had made another
northern winter dangerous. and she
had taken small house near Pasn-
dena She intended TO live in retire
ment and have a complete rest be-
fore returning to Poland. But these
two friends, they must come to see
aer whenever they could spare tbs
time.
II was surprising how much time
had been spared by both. for Nichols,

days and evenings alone with the
charming foreigner. found himself in

Nichols walked forlornly home and
went to bed.
Next morning he showed Cyril a
business letter requesting his pres

His friend, though decidedly adverse
to any move, consented to go with
him.
Cyril had promised to take Nine.

evening?
Nine. Laska was tying up a spray
of white rose-tree when they arrived.
She gave them each hand in her
pretty foreign way,
On n porch table was a halfburned
cigarette. Nichols felt sure he de-
tected the faintest aroma Of very
tine cigar also.
The professional instinct was
aroused. Nine. Laska had repeatedly
said she knew no one in California
but themselves. The cigar seemed
to tell different story.
, Nichols threw his coat In a corner
of the porch. In the pocket there was
an important letter. II he forgot his
coat he would have to come back for
the next day.
Cyril pressed a guitar into Marie
Laska's hands, seating himself where
he could watch the singers face.

A. H. Barber, one of the proprie- tors of the Burkhart flats, in Cor dova, is in receipt of letter from J. H. Bullard, who recently went to the Iditarod country, in which he states that the diggings there are big dis appointment to many.
