Katberine's Luck

This conversation will give an Idea of the spirit of the girl, and her beauty was such tfiat even Grenfell fell Into raptures over her. Vyner made his trip into the mountain; won the trust and regard of the natives, and was so taken with Katherine that he offered to take her to England, educate her and provide for her. He decided to buy the estate and promised to settle it upon Katherine upon his death.
 Thus 1t was that the peasant girl be- came an inmate Of the family of Sir Gervais Vyner and went to live with her new found friends at the pleasant villa of Dinaslyn in north Wales.
 Vyner's daughter Ada was a girl of such q mild and retiring nature that her father rightly thought that her character would be strengthened by q companion as self reliant as Katherine.

The next morning at breakfast he told
 Grenfell of his discovery 'Iuttrell Lut- trelll' said Grenfell you don't mean the fellow who was to have married your sister~in-law?' "The same" responded Vyner-and then he told his guest the
 story of John Hamilton Luttrell.

Inauiring for a Guide

To this lone spot came Vyner and Grenfell, for near 1t lay that great stretch of land which the baronet thought of buying, the Englishman who owned 1t and had never seen it having advertised 1t for sale.
 z O'Rorke received his guests with sus- picion. But satisfying himself that they were not government excisemen look ing for illicit stills. changed his man. ner to one of indifference-he decided that they were artists, some members of which. to him, fiighty brotherhood ventured upon rare occasions into that region.
 When vyner told O'Rorke the object of his visit the Irishman smiled. Little or none of rents could the scattered and poverty stricken peasants of that wild region pay to any landlord and little or none had they paid for years.
 But Vyner declared that while he ex- pected to build lodge there he had no intention of harrassing the people.

fingers, trickled revivingly across his
intolerably painful arm, gurgling like
a joyous voice as it passed by him
Slowly, with infinite effort, Stanton
dragged himself up upon the other
arm, the uninjured right. He must
see; that was the imperious cry of
brain and heart, to see. 1t seemed to
him years ago that the Mercury had
gone off the bridge, yet he knew the
time could be but moments, since the
ambulance had not come and he was
still here.
His vision was clearing. Yes;
there, half in the dainty brook, half
bent and broken metal that had been
the Mercury racing car. And beside
it
When he drove back the faintness
that blackened the bright noon, Stan
ton began to drag his pain-racked
body toward what lay beside the Mer-
curry. Movement hurt, hurt unbear-
ably, yet was a less anguish tks1
thought. For he knew, knew the
mechanician seldom escapes.
Floyd lay near the machine, un-
marred to outward view except for a
cut over his temple and stain of blood
on his lips. His mask and cap were
gone, one hand was flung out, palm up
ward, and the torn sleeve left bare the
slim arm crossed by the zigzag scar
gained at Lowell. He looked very
young and strangely grave, as the sun
light and tree-shadows flickered back
and forth across his colorless face and
shining bronze waves of hair.
Floyd" Stanton articulated hoarse-
ly. Floyd"
The brook gurgled cheerfully, be-
lated oriole flashed past a streak Of
flame. Stanton's head sank back
down against his mechanician's inert
hand, and the world fell out of knowl
edge.

they shot past the grand-stand and the
bulletin boards.
"We're leadin'. The tires have been
holdin' fine-look out for them this
round"
Stanton moved his head Affirmative
ly, his narrowed eyes answering from
the line of course ahead. Needing the
advice, he did take the turns more
carefully.
The precaution was justified. On
the most dreaded angle Of the course
came the well-known explosion, i'm.
mediately followed by second from
the opposite wheel, the Mercury top
pied perilously.
Floyd was leaning over the back, un-
strapping the extra tires, before STAN
ton had brought the car to standstill.
The two men were out on the ground
together, dragging forth tools. Hinged
about by pushing. exclaiming specta-
tors, they worked with quick precision,
wasting no time in speech Dust
wrapped, two big cars sped by them,
the red one hanging doggedly at the
flank of the white.
George thinks he's winnin'," lisped
Floyd mockingly. "But he isn't goin'
to; we are"
Stanton was on his feet again.
'In with the TOOLS" he directed,
with brevity.
But the blue-black eyes and gray
exchanged one smiling glance before
the Mercury sprang forward.
The race began its third hour, as
Stanton started out to regain his lost
lead. 1t was noon, a dazzling, breath
less noon of azure and gold. Down
past the grand-stand with its heaving
sxpanse of color and movement they
swept again, the joyous applause COM
Ing to them across the roar of their
own motor, and on between the walls
Of people into the quieter back stretch
in pursuit of their rivals.
There was bridge, back there,
across a shallow running brook shut in
by strip of autumn-tinted woodland.
Car ahead" Floyd cried suddenly,
as they rushed around a curve and
bore down on the crossing. Look out
Stanton"
In the center of the bridge was a
Keeling, staggering car. coming to a
halt and striving to maintain its equi-
librium meanwhile. The chain had
broken loose, it's driver afterward ex-
planned, and was flashing the under
mechanism to scrap metal Seeing too
late to stop his own machine, Stanton
took the only chance of saving any of
the four lives and tried to twist past
the other car on the narrow bridge.
Only a master-driver would have at
tempted the feat; Stanton carried 1t
to the verge Of success. They were
along side, passing, when the edge of
the wooden bridge gave way under the
double strain. There was the rip of
splintering planks, as the Mercury's
outside wheels crushed through the
flooring, a shuddering lurch.
"Jump!" Stanton shouted his vain
command to Floyd. as they went down.

through her dreams and became con
scious. And the moment she knew that
her dear brother was safely back again
she began to get better, for It was grief
Of which the poor child had been dying.
II was many days since she had eaten,
but when the boy cooked some corn for
her she took 1t hungrily, and very shortly
was quite herself again.
The first thing that the happy brother
and sister did was to promise each other
that they would never allow any Witchd
trick to separate them again. Then the
Gri went TO the mound Of eagle feathers
and, blowing with all her might, drew
back to the mound all the eagle feather
that she had sent in search Of her brother,
50 that the mound was once more heaped
high with them, as the mighty spirit had
wished 1t to be.
After this the brother and sister lived
happily together all their lives. And as,
not long after this, the cruel Spider
Woman froze to death their happiness was
never again disturbed By her wicked magic.

must do before she died. Dragging herself
out to the mound Of the eagle feathers, she
blew upon the magic feathers with all her
remaining strength 50 that they were scat
tered far and wide in every direction.
One Of them, she thought, must reach her
brother, wherever be might be. Then hav-
ing done this she crept back into her bunk.
That same day the boy wandered out
side the tepee Of the Spider Woman,
hunting birds with his bow and arrows.
As he looked sharply about him for the
birds he found upon the ground an eagle
feather. Without knowing why, he
picked It up and carried it in his hand.
In few moments he came upon another.
As he picked up the second one the
strangest Of feelings came over him. II
was as If his very self were changing. as
though his mind and spirit were emerging
from a thick mist, and all manner Of
teasingly familiar things, new, Jet old,
forgotten yet remembered. seemed to
stand out suddenly before him. As he
walked on he found more and more
feathers, each helping more than the last
to shake of the witch's spell, 50 that at
last the thought Of his sister came to him
and he remembered who he was.
The boy was q very feet runner, and he
was not, after all, at very great dis
tance from his home, so it was not very
long after he realized what the Spider
Woman had done to him that, with pant
ing breath, he bounded to the door of his
own tepee and called aloud to his sister.
When no answer came he peered, half
afraid, through the door. His sister lay
on her bunk, and though her eyes we're
turned toward him, she did not seem TO
see him. Running inside, the boy took
her hand and held il. Sister, It is z" be
said gently, but the fever that her E-iev-
