tice that her lips promise
the sweetest kisses that mortal ever,
dreamed Of And it is just then, too,
that she seems to have made up her
mind that those lips are the
very things that you shall never ap-
proach nearer than about yard and
half, and then with her dear moth

guard against any sudden vertigo
which her alluring eyes may inspire.

Byron, must have felt when he wrote
the lines about the women in the
world having a single month, so that
he could kiss them all at once

from him you range through the i'm

way station into the list of the mod

And then? Well, then the earth
trembles and the heavens roll up as
scroll, and you realize you've kissed
her.
1t may have cost you nothing more
than few expressions of distin-

way, they make the finest kisses
or 1t may cost you millions, if you
have them. 1t may cost you king

1t may cost both.
Kisses never came higher than now.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Strange Viqii.

~ III GhISS wynn
Dawn found Inspector Davis and me
keeping strange vigil in the deserted
cottage. Louise was gone. Crandall
was gone. Constable Dodds was gone.
Only the two Of us were there, and on
a rude couch in the corner, inert, I'M
conscious with the death-like stupor
OF the confirmed user of morphine, lay
d wreck Of a man whom Davis had
termed the master criminal.
On the inspectors return from his
pursuit Of the postmaster he had at
once assumed the position Of director
general of the little group at the cot
tage. He had decreed that Crandall
should take Louise back to town in
the automobile as soon as she was
able to travel.
after she has had an hours rest
here" he said authoritatively, cher
nerves will have recovered sufficiently.
It is important that the wound in her
arm should be dressed as quickly as
possible. 1t will be we'll, too, for her
to return as speedily as possible to
her father and sister. Her continued
absence, if it reaches their ears, will
needlessly alarm them both. You, Mr..
Crandall, will take her back in the ma
chine in which you came, of course"
Certainly" said Crandall-over-
eagerly, I thought-"but, if you will
pardon me for asking, who are you?"
For reply Davis handed him his card
which bore his official title.
But" stammered Crandall, Il don't
understand you What are you doing
out here?'
Pm here said the inspector, 81

She's shot! She's killed." / cried.
Il shot her!"
1 tell you she has only tainted" he
cried angrily. Help me carry her over
there by the window
together we lifted her and bore her
gently to the side of the cottage,
where we laid her on the ground. Joy
surged in my heart as / saw and heard
that she was still breathing, joy that
was not ever abated when l saw by
the window light that my companion
was none other than Hugh Crandall.
But just then all other thoughts
were driven out Of my head by the
sight of a thin stream of blood trick
ling down the sleeve Of Louise's auto
mobile coat.
l tell you she is shot. See," I
cried, all my anguish coming back
anew.
With trembling hands l helped Gran
dali cut away her sleeve, d~reading all
the time to see and know the worst.
Its only a scratch" said Crandall,
with a sigh of relief.
Across her rounded arm was a red
den1ng cash where the bullet had cut
It's way through the tender flesh.
While my head told me that Crandall
was right, that it was only a flesh
wound and not in the least dangerous,
in my heart I still felt little better
than a murderer. Three inches to the
right, and the bullet from my revolver
would have stilled her heart for ever.
She opened her eyes and stared at
us in a puzzled way.
why, Harding, DEAR" she said in
feeble surprise, "are you here-here
with Mr.. Crandall?"
Fol answer l bent and kissed her.
What mattered it if Hugh Crandall
was the criminal? What mattered it
if the chain of mystery was still I'M
solved? What mattered it if the au-
thor Of re yellow letters had escaped
from the Inspector? Louise lived! She
loved me!
Davis and the constable came run
ming up the path, painting from their
chase, but empty-handed.
rs she hurt? ?" asked Davis as he
saw the three of us grouped under the
window.
"a flesh wound, not at all danger
GUS" Crandall answered, while l knelt
there caressing Louise's hair and whis-
pering softly to her.
"How about your" asked Davis.
"He didn't hit me-" Crandall an
swered with a short laugh. 81 tumbled

in the window of the hut.

after a minutes survey of the interior,
