CHAPTER TX.

His FIRST +rs 'atable impulse was to
turn and make good his escape before
she became. aware of him. But, as II
the shock of recognition had palsied
his will he remained moveless. Con-
tending emotions, resembling the
flashes of heat and cold Of an ague-
1T, alternately COMPOUNDED and stung
him &c t4e point of madness. For the
first time In days he had forced home
to him all that he had sought to BAN
ish from his life; his memories, OF
his gnawing passion for the woman,
Of the black crime that had severed
their lives. Seeing before him the
one being in the world dear to him
beyond expression, the one being ir-
revocably lost to him, he Givtned
anew with bitter clarity the bridge
less gulf that yawned between them.
Tt was inevitable that the woman
should In time become sensitive to his
proximity. Though wholly unaware
Of his approach. though thoroughly as
sured that she was alone, a. feeling OF
uneastness affected her. She resisted
1t systematically and strove to con-
tinue the line of thought which had
engaged her; but without effect. Then
she turned her head, and threw flick
ering glance toward the suse; the
shadow Of his figure lay upon the
boundary of her vision. She swung
quickly to face him, suppressing a cry

There's no sense In this-none
whatever!" Coast spoke for the frst
time In twenty minutes or 20. Where
In thunderaeion am I, anyhow"
He stood In thought, pursuing his
Underlip between o thumb and fore
finger, wits alert to detect the clue to
his bearings that was denied him. for
all that the fog had thinned per.
ceptibly within the last third of an
hour. This much he knew and no
more: that he was lost.
AS from great distance came the
mufied mourning Of the blind dog.
Coast shivered. "I can't stand that"
he said trritably, and plunged on in
desperation.
Before him, presently, wall

er, intersected it at right angles. Here
was a primitive stile. Coast climbed
over and continued, following the
thtnly-ma-ked, tortaous trail across a
wide eIpanse OF rolling, semi sterile
treeless upland, thickiy webbed with
other footwayB.
Unexpectedly rail fence sprang ur
across the path. Beyond 1t a company
Of indistinct biurs uncertainty shad
owed forth what no took, and what
the event proved, 70 be q farmhouse
with outhuildlngs.
Encouraged, Coast climbed the
fence and addressed himself to the
farmhouse, coming inevitably first tc
Its main entrance, the kitchen door;
which stood Hospitality wide, reveal
ing an Interior untenanted but warn
with recent use.
Coast did not enter. but moved
round toward the front Of the house
his footsteps noissless on the sod.
BY the corner he stopped az though
ne had run against an invisible bar
rter.
Ten feet distant woman stood II

Halt turned away nom him and more
30 that only the rounded curves o.
cheek and ohm were visible, she
seemed absorbed In pensive media
tIon. One hand held the gate ajar
the other touched her cheek with slen
der fingers. She was dressed plainly
to the verge OF severity: q wcll.tailor
ed tweed skirt ending a tribe above
ankles protected by high tan boots
a blouse of heavy white linen with {
deep sailor collar edged with blue
sleeves rolled well above the elbow
revealing arms Drowned, graceful ant
round; for her head no covering othe
than It's own heavy coils of bronz'
shot with gold.
Coast was conscious Of q Tightening
in his throat producing a feeling o
suffooation, of . throbbing in his TEN
pies like the throbbing Of a mufiet
drum. In q trice he had forgotten
everything that had passed up to tina
moment; even the haunting though
of the murdered man dropped out o
his consciousness; he was unable t
entertain the faintest shadow of
thought that did not center about thi
woman, not q line Of whose graciou
pose, not q tress of whose matches

coloring but was more intimate to hi

Fistieuffs Narrowly Averted In House

of 10 Hours.

FISttCuUs Narrowly HWeFtco w TSsse
Of Commons During Session
Of 10 Hours.
LONDON, March 10.--After q
stormy session of nineteen hours In
which hsticuffs were narrowly avert
ed, the House of Commons, affected
with the American filibustering germ.
adjourned this morning at 9:56.
The filibuster was precipitated by
the Conservatives in the discussion or
the revenue bill. In an effort to pre-
vent the consideration Of the Lords
veto bill at this session. The climax
to the disorder came when ,Conserva-
tive Captain Craig offered to assist
the speaker In ejecting the Irish mem
bers for their interruption OF the Con-
sentative speeches. Instantly the
Irish showed fight and Craig was In
vited to begin his election.
Home Secretary Churchill, In the
absence Of Premier Asquith and
Chancellor Lloyd-George, led the ad-
ministration fight and was constant
storm center. By adopting closure
methods, Churchill forced the passage
Of many clauses Of the revenue bill
but his every victory brought yells OF
rage from the Conservatives, who de-
nounced him as usurper and accused
him Of breaking the premier's pladges.
The bill was still under debate when
adjournment was taken. The filibuster
shows that the Tories may be expect
ed to put up the stiffest fight In the
history OF parliament against the veto
bill.

would make the normal boy or girl OF
like age dizzy.
This school Is the realization Of a
plan conceived by Prof. W. @. Wash
burn, principal OF the Eleventh Dis
Prof Washburn's own outline OF the
plan.
BY W. C. WAeH6uRN.
I believe that schools or class
rooms for unusually bright children
will soon become a part OF our edu-
cational system, as have those for
subnormal or deficient children.
There are on an average from two
TO Ave superior" children to be
found in every classroom. The regu-
lar curriculum is not adopted to the
needs OF these children, and they are
held back.
They are made To lose time unneces-
sarily in keeping step with those
whom nature fitted for slower pace
and, naturally, they fret and chafe
more or loss under such restriction
The work for extra bright children
should tend to develop them along the
lines Of individuality and self-expres-
sion. and that Is what is being done
In our department.
The work of developing retarded or
subnormal children Is equally import
ant as an educational problem.
They must also be treated indIvidu.
ally, studied and examined TO deter
mine the exact nature of the dis
ability.
Schools. for exceptional childicn
whether bupernormal or subnormal.
are one OF the most important fen.
lures of progressive educational work

WILL RUN COLONISTS'
TRAINS TO PACIFIC COAST
Union Pacific Announces innovations
In Train and Dining Car Services.
Due To Rush Of Travel.

OMAHA. Neb.. March 10.-In antici-
patton OF the heavy travel expected as
the result OF low colonists' fares this
spring. several interesting innovations
In train and dining car services have
been announced by the Union Pacific
railroad. The best and fastest ser
vice ever given for colonists' fares
and a special low.priced dining car
service will be put on by the Union
Pacific.
Seven special colonists' trains de
luxe will leave Omaha for San Fran
cisco during March and April. These
trains will be made up exclusively OF
tourist sleeping cars and dining cars
will be carried on each one. The
schedule Of these trains will be near
ly eight hours faster than any tourist
car service, offered today. These
trains will leave Omaha AT 8 p. m. on
March IL, IL and Is. and April 8. 9,
10 and IL, stopping only at the most
important points. and reaching San
Francisco on the third morning.
These trains will be equipped with
dining cars, which will serve the best
Of everything at popular prices. A
full and substantial meal may be OBJ
tanned for so cents or less. A special
meal consisting of ham. bacon and
eggs, potatoes. bread and butter, will
be served for 80 cents. II passengers
choose to carry their own provisions.
they may augment them with hot cof-
fee, fruit, etc.. which can be obtained
In the dining cars at low prices. The
universal custom Of charging a mini
mum Of 20 cents for service. has been
done away with on the colonists' spe-
Gals. Fruit may be obtained for i've
cents. and sandwiches. pie or coffee
at 10 cents.
II is the intention Of the Union Pa
cifc to give the highest class and
best possible service at the low COL
onists' fares.
