CHAPTER Il.-continued.

Only Lady Galorey hesitated, disap
pointed.
TOO bad-I had specially arranged
for Lady Grandcourt to drive over
with Eileen. thought 1t would be q
ripping chance for her to see Dan"
When at length the duchess had sue.
ceeded in getting Dan to herself to-
ward the end of the day in the red
room. after tea, she said:
$50 you won't marry a London
beauty"
And rather coldly Dan had an
swered:
why, you talk. all Of you, as II
had only to ask any girl Of them, and
she would jump down my throat"
Don't try It," the duchess answered
unless you want to have your mouth
full"
Dan did not reply for a second, but
he looked at her more seriously, con-
scious of her grace and her good
looks. She was certainly better to
look at than the simple girls with
their big hands, small wits, long faces
and, as the boy expressed 1t. utter
lack Of get-up." The duchess shone
out to advantage.
why don't you talk to me?" she
asked softly. you know you would
rather talk to me than the others"
"Yes," he said frankly; they make
me nervous"
And dont?"
NO." he said. II learn q lot every
time we are together"
Learn" she repeated, not particu-
larly nattered by this. What sort Of
things?"
"Oh, about the whole business" he
returned vaguely. you know what l
mean"
Then" she said with slight laugh,
you mean to say you talk to me for
educational purposes? What a beast
ly bore!"
Dan did not contradict her. She
was by no means Eve to him, nor was
he the raw recruit his simplicity might
give one to think. He had had his
temptations and his way out Of them
was an easy one; for he was very
slow to stir, and back of all was his
ideal. The reality and power OF this
ideal Dan knew best at moments like
these. But the Duchess Of Breakwater
was the most lovely woman-the
most dangerous woman that had come
hts way. He liked her-Dan was we'll
on the way to love.
The two were alone In the big dark
room. At their side the small table,
from which they had taken their tea
together. stood with its empty cups
and its silver. Without, the day was
cold and windy. and the sunset threw
along the panes q red reflection. The
light fell on the Duchess Of Breakwa-
ter, something like veil-a crimson
veil slipped over her face and breast.
She leaned toward Dan, and between
them there was no more barrier than
the western light. He felt his pulses
beat and tide rising within him. She

DOCTOR GOING
TO HERON LAKE
DR.. A. G. Chadbourn Accepts Posi-
tioR With Hospital At That
Place.

DR.. A. G. Chadbourn will leave Red
wood Falls Saturday for Heron Lake,
Mimi, where he will become identi-
fed with the South Western Hospi-
tai of that city.
This opportunity for broader work
in his profession came to the Doctor
several months ago, but not caring to
leave Redwood, he waited undecided
until few weeks ago when the offer
was renewed.
The departure of DR.. and Mrs.
Chadbourne will be keenly regretted
by their wide circle of friends. Mrs.
Chadbourn is held high in the es-
TEEN of all with whom she has been
associated in Redwood Falls. She has
been closely affiliated with church and
Sunday school work at the Methodist
church, work in which she has
wrought no small amount of good.
Perhaps those who will most regret
the Doctors leaving are the members
of his Sabbath school class, "The
Hubs" The boys all think big heap
of him and will miss his inspiring
heart to heart talks. The Doctor de-
livered his last lesson Sunday morn
ing after which he briefly stated that
he was going to Heron Lake.
1t seems perfectly natural in view
of the Doctors leaving that the ap-
probation and high esteem in which
he is held by his class should find
expression. The boys all feel con-
scious of the good their teacher
wrought through his manly help and
plain common sense advice.
1t may be that the DR.. and Mrs.
Chadbourn will return to Redwood
within few months but that depends
entirely upon how well they are sat
isfed with their new surroundings.
