Then she swore Beatrix to obedience
and slipped back up the great stair

A few minutes after ten o'clock.
Lieutenant Gordon Smith arrived, and.
a little later, the agent Of the Export
Spruce company. Mason arose when
this agent entered. and explained, as
he had done to Gilbert Williams, that
Mrs. Smith was about to sail for Eng.
land, and had decided to sell her land.
She would take twenty thousand dol

Campbell. but when a young man

Although China has become a repub-
lie, the views Of the sanctity of human
life that prevail in western countries
are not yet established in that over
crowded land. This story of Yuan

is declared by Everybody's Weekly to
be characteristic of the immediate
past of that statesman-and 80 pre-
sumabiy of the present.
Yuan began to create an army on
the European model. His discipline

"Madd1n,' said Randolph Mason, "donot worry me
With petty bidering!:

Randolph Mason arose when he came
in, and explained that as Mrs. Smith
wished to leave America at once, she
had determined to sell her lands, pro-
vided cash was paid. The lands were
worth thirty thousand dollars. but her
husband was absent and could not
convey his curtesy in the deed. She
would therefore take twenty thousand
cash and make a deed on the spot.
Gilbert Williams snapped up the offer.
He did not care anything about the
curtesy of the husband. The land
itself was worth nothing, the timber
only was valuable. His mills would
cut 1t of in a year, and he was willing
to take the chance Of Mrs. Smiths
living that long. He produced a deed,
which he had brought with him to
New York, and ran a pen through the
blank which it contained for the hus-
bands name. Beatrix signed the deed,
and the notary who accompanied Will
. liams filed in the acknowledgment
and affixed his seal IN proper form.
Gilbert Williams wrote out a check
on the Importers Bank Of Commerce
for twenty thousand dollars. We ascer-
tanned by telephone to the cashier
at his residence that the check was
good. Williams then folded his deed,
put it in his pocket and departed with
the notary. The whole matter had
taken less than twenty minutes to bring
to a close.
Randolph Mason inquired at what
hour Lieutenant Gordon Smith would
arrive, and was told that he would be
at the house at half-past ten. Direct
the agent Of the Export Spruce COM
pany to be here ct that hour" he
said. Then he sat down In the oak
chair before the fire.
We were all greatly puzzled. We
did not see why this second purchaser
should be invited to come. Beatrix
Smith had nothing more to sell. The
transaction seemed to us to have ar
rived at its final act the curtain down
and the lights out.
Sarah Lemarr came down to the hall

Beatrix Smith; she had married Lieu.
tenant Gordon Smith the year before.
He vas in Washington today, but
would return before eleven o'clock this
night.
That was the whole history, brief,
accurate and devoid of superfluous
comment. She had there on the table
the original deed, maps and tax re-
ceipts.
Mason's face showed marked annoy
ance. as that Of ar eminent surgeon
would. who, having beer sen for in
hot haste. arrives to find the patient
with a bumped nose.
Why do you send for me?" he
said; amy lawyer could adjust this
problem"
1T is vital to me-" replied the
woman; ut means my happiness and
my husbands career. l beg you to
help me-"
Her eyes began to fill up and her
lips trembled with distress.
Randolph Mason gave no attention
to the woman's emotions. He sat.
beating the tips Of his fingers on the
arms of the chair. with evident annoy
ance.
Let us get the thing over, then"
he said. Call up this man Gilbert
Williams. Say to him that Mrs. Smith
has determined to sell the lands; ask
him to come here at once with a
notary"
What" cried Beatrix Smith, sell
the land to Williams? the nan who
robbed me! How can hat help?"
Madam" said Randolph Mason, do
not worry me with petty pickering"
signaled Beatrix Smith to a con-
ference with me In the hall. do ex-
actly as he says" / whispered when
We were outside the door. and hurry
She promised and went swiftly up
stairs to the telephone.
In a very few minutes Gilbert Will
liams arrived. He was a red-haired
old fellow with a face like a fox, and
beady eyes set %obliquely in his head.

were returned delinquent for taxes and
sold. They had been warned against
the horde OF dangerous and unscrupu-
lous land thieves said to tnfest the
mountain districts of the Virginias.
But her great care was not sufficient
against the ingenuity Of these pirates.
After one Of the periodic assessments
of real estate, n thousand acres OF
her estate were listed on the land
books under the name OF Walden, re-
turned delinquent, and sold for taxes.
The land was purchased by Gilbert
Williams, president Of the Black Creek
Lumber company, for $685.. She had
paid no attention to the sale, not
recognizing her land under this name
until she came to have the estate sur
veyed a few months ago, some five or
six years after it's purchase at the tax
sale by Gilbert Williams. She also
learned that the whole thing vas q
well planned and effective scheme Of
this owner Of the Black Creek Lumber
company to steal her land. These wild
lands had vastly increased in value.
This company and a rival one, the
Export Spruce company, were exceed
ingly anxious to purchase the remain
Ing tract. They. would give. she
thought, twenty dollars an acre for 1t.
The agents OF the two companies had
been at her heels ever since she ar
rived In New York. Gilbert Williams
was now at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
He had ~endeavored to reach her by
telephone this very evening. He Of
fered a little better price than the
Export Spruce company, but he could
well afford to, since he it was that
had stolen half the land. The agent
of the Export Spruce company was
at the Holland. His note. on the table,
requested an interview with her at
any hour she would name, day or
night. This indicated how very de-
sirous they we're for the land. Such
q sale would yield her twenty thou
sand dollars. All the lands would have
given her the forty thousand which
she needed. Her name nov was

shadow by the flaming logs on the
hearth. The masterful iron face, the
lean. hard jaw with its projecting chin,

the fantastic light 1ettonod a little at

Drowned. Redeemed by the fire.
l heard the latch Of the door click,
and looked up to see Beatrix Smith
standing On the threshold. looking at
Mason with profound interest. Her lips
were parted and her eyes wide. She
had not thought to come on this curl
GUS picture of the middle ages taken
down from some Italian gallery and
propped up here inthe library Of the
Won Huberts. She bowed to me. crossed
the room and sat down by the library
table a little beyond Randolph Mason.
at the corner of the fire.
Presently Mason looked up at her.

without rising. without an infection of
interest or courtesy. as he would have
said: rs this the contract?" THE
bond in question:"

Give me the details OF it." said
Mason.
She began at once without introduce
ton or verbiage and told her story
with a brevtty and directness that I
could not associate with hat rather
silly Beatrix Waldo who used to go
up and down through the drawing
rooms Of Newport looking for a rich
husband.
She had inherited from her father
two thousand acres Of wild forest land
in the county of Pocahontas in the
state OF West Virginia. She and her
aunt had watched it carefully and paid
the taxes on 1t each year; they had
even taken the little local newspaper,
published at the county seat, in or
der that they might know what lands

He is adorable. l could follow him
around like a dog and bite people If
he whistled to me-. Not another word
out Of you, or | will come down with
the dog-whip." And she shook her
little clenched hand over the banis-
ters.
Finally we got the matter over.
Beatrix and her husband executed the
deed. / got a notary from the Plaza.
The agent gave certified drafts on
Dexter & Company for the twenty
thousand dollars, and, like Gilbert
Williams, folded his deed and depart
ed.
Beatrix Smith bearded the lion with
eyes swimming in tears. "Mr. Ma
SON. she said, you have made a ter
rible mistake. The Export Spruce
company is not the one who stole my
land. l canno take it's money; it
will not get the property And she
went on with a torrent of lamentation.
Madam, said Mason, rising, ali
this is drivel. l have made no mistake.
The Export Spruce company will get
every acre that it has this night pur-
chased" Then he directed Beatrix to
cash the checks at the earliest hour in
the morning and sail at once for Eng
land.
When we went down the steps to
his carriage, Sarah Lemarr slipped out
from behind the door and caught my
arm. 81 shall see to it," she whis-
pered. They shall sail on the st. Paul

closed the big door behind me.
The solution Of the matter arrived a

himself in the chair beside me.
