hanging about; it may come up again; if so. the gentleman will probably stray into bog. So that he will pay pretty dearly for the broken window and his supper. It's late, Cara; you'd better go to bed. I'll stop the mill. |" She was going up the narrow stairs which led to the tiny space in which she slept, when, without turning his head or stopping in his task. he called up to her.
 Cara, if any one comes again when I'm away, don't open the door; and don't answer unless you're obliged to let them think that there is no one here; but, if you must speak, tell them that will come back soon. I'm never away for long, "very we'll" she responded. .sBus I'm not afraid"
 He looked up at her swiftly. with a curious gleam in his eyes.
 "Afraid!" he echoed. 'I suppose not. Afraid? Who's afraid? But lo as tell you"
 "Yes." she assented. Good night, father!"
 He stopped the mill; the huge sails creaked groaningly and became metionless. He leant against an up- right beam and listened until all was still in the little room above; then he lit his pipe and opening the door, stood on the threshold, with his hands in his pockets, and looked out upon the moor. He had the appearance of a man who was taking his ease and a quiet smoke after the labours of the day, CT, rather, the night; but. though his attitude was careless enough, his eyes were keen, his ears on the alert, as if he were watching and listening intently.
 Presently he stepped out and glanced at the small window of the girls room; it was dark-she had ex- tinguished the light. He locked and barred the door carefully. crossed the floor of the mill, and unlocked a small door in an angle of it.

and the small piece of ground on which 1t stood, an offer which had been promptly accepted by the own CT, who had never expected to make another penny out of it; and the newcomer entered into possession and worked the mill for time by himself.
 In most country places the appear ance of B stranger and a foreigner would have excited curiosity and re- mark; but In Estford they were ac- customed to foreigners; for, as Eve lyn Desborough had told Dexter Reece, there were many foreigners actually established in the little sea- port town by the estuary, and otn- CTS frequently visited it, coming by the small vessels trading between the little port and the coasts of Italy and Spain. Some of these foreigners Spaniards.

 No one was surprised when Lem uel Ravens little daughter, a child of six. appeared at the mill; though no one knew whether her father had gone to bring her across the Chan nel, or whether she had been brought by some friend or relative; for the communication between the Moor Mill perched on the hill and the lit tie valley beneath was solely a busi- ness one; no one came up to the mill, excepting to bring sacks of corn or take away sacks of flour. Lemuel Raven had no visitors of a, social kind, nor did he make any friends; and yet he was by no means unpopu-
 
 lar. for he was pleasant of speech, would take his glass and pay for an- other mans. ana was always reaoy to chat about the crops and the weather.
 Of his own business. of his private affairs, he said nothing; what was there to say? The man, with his child, lived a life of nonotonous though not hard, toll, a life which was. so to speak. as open to the gaze and scrutiny of his fellowmen as were the huge sails of the mill which stood, as solitary as its owner, on the moor side.
 Lemuei Raven peered at the girl keenly.

 She had not intended to tell her father anything of the visitor or the visit, which in themselves were of no importance.

 "A mana stranger" said Cara. He had lost his way; he was cross ing the moor-was going to Shell ford"

 She shrugged her shoulders; she did not turn her head away, but look ed him full in the face, meeting nis eyes steadily; and she was perfectly calm.

 "He was not a tramp" she said, hesitating for the first time ''He was gentleman--I think; am sure.
 He wanted to pay for the window and the food and drink; but wouldn't take it."
 You were right" he said, eff he was a gentleman--we don't keep an inn. What was he likef Try and describe him.
 Cara turned to the hopper. It is very difficult to describe a person in whom one is not interested; it is no, ea.sy to give description even of one who has made @ deep impression or the mind. She could see him plainly enough with her mental vision, but words seemed to fail her.
 He was young and-good-look- ing," she said at last, as she guided the flour into the sack. "He was dressed like gentleman; different to any one about here."
 "And he gave no account of him. self?" She shook her head. 'He must have been traveller; one of those men taking orders for drapers or grocers. How long has he been gone. which way did he take?"
 T don't know-some time," she answered, indifferently enough.
 Scarcely waiting for her reply, he opened the door and went out,

 She sank upon sack of corn, an"' with her elbows on her knees ana ner chin in her hands. gazed into vacan- cy with half-closed eyes.
 Presently she heard knock on the door, and with start she rose; but, before she could reach it, the door opened and a man entered. He was an elderly man of less than middle height; but so spare and thin, 80 well formed and, finely knit, SO alert in his bearing, that his shortness of sta ture was not noticeable. He was very dark-indeed, swarthy; and his -eyes. which were almost black,were ae keen as a hawks.
 Like most men of his calling, he was cIean-shaven, and his hair was cut short; like his clothes. 1t was fine- Iy powdered and whitened by the flour, which, by contrast, deepened the effect of his swarthy complexion; his shirt, with it's wide collar, was op- en at the neck, displaying lean and muscular throat; his hands were long and expressive of dexterity and strength. In feature. manner and bearing there was something foreign; though. on a board over the door of the mill, was painted, in rude charac- ters:

 He was still handsome, and there was an indcfinable air about the man, . certain indication of reserv- ed force. of subtle power combined with the alertness which has already besn ref ferred to; he gave one the idea of . man who is always on guard aeainst even the small surprises of the ordinary workaday life; but the swarthy face was not an unpleasant one, notwithstanding the keenness of the black eyes and the tenseness of the long, thin lips.
 Many years ago the Moor Mill had been run by one of the farmers of fhe neighbourhood; but he had lacked energy. and had lost the trade and given up the mill, and it had remain ed unoccrpied and unworked for quite a lone time: then one day Lemuel Raven had appeared on the scene and had made an offer for the mill

EVERYONE TO BE RATED
Grants Pass Merchants to Have Credit
Guide

The Merchants Mercantile COM
pany, of Portland, is preparing to
publish a credit guide for this dis
tlict, including Josephine county.
BY this system this county will be
put in direct touch with credit con-
ditions all over the United States
and whenever anyone moves here
from any other part of the United
States, the merchants here will be
at once posted through this company
as to how the party paid his bills
where he formerly lived.
These credit guides are made up
In districts covering every state in
the Union. They are made from
the combined experience Of all the
merchants In each Of the districts
and every merchant rates his own
customers according to how they
have paid him. Before customer
is rated he is given notice by letter
that he will be rated, and is given a
chance to pay up his old account
and thus secure good rating.
Each merchant and professional
man is furnished with copy Of the
guide, so that he may refer to II and
look up the rating Of any customer
or prospective customer before CIV
ing any credit. 21et

WORKING FOR GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION

City government by commission is now in the hands
of the committee appointed by the mayor, headed by
The city attorney. The work is fairly in hand and good
results may be expected in the future. Grants
Pass has reached the point where modern government
is demanded. The old, slow, outofdate and mpractic
al methods of half century ago have too long held the
city back 1t is true Grants Pass has prospered during
the past two years. but has done so not by and through
the help of the city charter but in spite of this handicap
The taxpayers and citizens generally are entitled to the
best which modern agencies can furnish and it is our
duty to provide these uptodate methods when they are
within our reach
