door slammed, and she was gone.
The final scene between Conover
and his sons wife had endured less
than twenty seconds. 1t was over,
and she had departed before Gerald
realized what had happened. Then

stood in front of it.

Give, unaware of his ally's plight,
vet felt the increased impetus OF the
onslaught on himself, and had to rally
his every faculty to withstand it. His
breath was coming hard from his
heaving chest and his head swan with
fatigue and excitement. More than
one heavy blow had reached his face
and body. Then -.
Clear the way there, yousew
howled an insane, mumbling voice.
Lemme at i'm! I'll pay i'm for this

The press Immediately in front OF
Give Standish slackened and the
crowd opened In its center reeled a
horrible figure-blood torn OF
clothing, raging and distorted of face,
one hand nursing an unshaven jaw,
while the other fiourished a revolver.
"Lemme a 'imw mumbled the pain
maddened tough through a hedge OF
splintered teeth. Clear the way or
III shoot to clear!"
Then, finding himself directly in
front of Standish, the maniac halted
and levelled his weapon.
Something swished through the air
from behind Gives head. A big
shapeless object hurled forward and
smote the broken-jawed tough full
across the eyes on the very instant he
fired at point blank range.
The ball went wild, and surprised
at the odd blow he had received Cap
parently from nowhere), caused the
mans pistol to clatter to the ground.
The girl in the boX-innocent cause
of the whole battle-had paid her debt
TO the man who had imperilled his life
in her defence. She had crouched,
trembling, in the background watching
the progress of the fray. But as the
intended murderer's trigger-finger
had frightened, she had hurled at his
face, with all her frail force, the huge
bouquet she carried. For once a wo-
mans aim was unerring, and thereby
q mans life was saved.
Her act-melodramatic, amazing,
unlocked for, eccentric in its poetic
Justice and theatric effects-sent a
roar of applause from the onlooker's
even as the pistolshot momentarily
startled the group of ruffians into
sanity. Give, without waiting the re-
suit of the shot, had flung himself
upon the little knot of toughs who
were locked in death-grip about
Ansel.
But even as he did so, a cry OF
warning rang from dozen parts OF
the big building:
THE cops! Lights out! The cops!

rather'n faults" retorted Caleb. "And
they're both as hard on him as they
are on you, Lefty. | wasn't glover
ing at you, either. Don't stir up an
other spat."
The idea that Mr. Conover is cap
able of melting any such disputation
so fiattered that poor, spiritless little
creature that she actually bridled and
looked about her to make sure Anice
and Gerald, the only other members
of the household present, had heard.
The quartette were seated in the
Conover library, whittier they had
gathered after dinner for one Of those
brief intervals of family intercourse
which Caleb secretly loved, his wife
as secretly dreaded and Gerald openly
loathed. The Railroader, at heart,
was an intensely home-loving man..
He had never known home. Least
of all since moving into the Mauso-
leum. He had always, in increas-
ingly blunderingly fashion, sought to
make one.
The wife he bullied, the son he hec-
tored, the daughter with whom he had
forever quarreled, the secretary who
met his friendliness with unbroken re-
serve; all these he had tried to enroll
as assistants in his various home
making plans. The results had not
been so successful as to warrant de-
scription.
Finally, Conover had centered his
former efforts on one daily plan. He
had read in the advice column of the
Star about the joys of pleasant even
ing hour in the bosom of ones fam
lily" and directions therefor. The idea
appealed to him. He ordained &C
cordingly that after the unfashionably
early evening meal the household
should congregate in the library, and
there for at least one hour indulge in
carefree, confidential chat. This,
Caleb mentally argued, was a capital
opening wedge in the incubation of
the true home-spirit which had been
his lifelong dream.
The household obeyed the order,
even as all Conover's orders-at home
and abroad-were obeyed. The ses-
sion usually began in laborious efforts
at small talk. Then an unfortunate
remark of some sort from Mrs. Con-
over, or an impertinence or sheer
from Gerald, and the storm would
break. The pleasant evening hour"
oftener than not ended in a sea of
weakly miserable tears from Mrs.
Conover, a cowed or soto voce pro-
fame exit on Gerald's part, and in
Caleb's stamping off to his study or
else around to the Kerrigan's for a
blissful, shirt-sleeved, old-time politi-
cal argument in front of the saloons
Darkroom stove.

Give Standish Seeks An Interview.


Mrs. Conover, under Anice's gentle
ministration, was coming to her
senses. She opened her eyes with a
gasp of fear, then sat up and looked
apprehensively around.
"She is gone, DEAR" whispered
Anice, divining her meaning, land
Gerald didn't mean what he said. He
was excited, that was all. He's all
right again now. Shall help you up
stairs ?"
But Mrs. Conover insisted on being
assisted to the nearby sofa.
"All right again, old LADY," asked
CALEB, walking across to the sofa.
Like me to send for the doctor?"
mo. Yes, Pm quite well again

Until further notice." Conover an
nounced dryly, looking from one to
the other, these pleasant home

like me. | hope you'll all try to

had come in answer to his ring. "1'll

minutes"
where are you going?" asked Mrs.
Conover, who had imperfectly caught
the order.
"To get into my riding clothes" an
swered her husband from the door
way.
"But you spoke of Dunderberg.
You're surely not going to ride Dun

"Why? You amt riding him."
"But why not ride Sultan? He's so
gentle and quiet and"
Lefty! do / look as if l was on a
still hunt for something gentle and
quiet? / want something that'll give
me fight. Something that'll tire me
out and take my mind off black, flop
up pompadours and stocking-leg
gloves! Jerry, you come along with
me. | want a talk with you"
ooh, if only that dreadful horse
would dep sighed Mrs. Conover. 81
never have an instant's peace while
you're riding him."
"Rotw growled Caleb, grinning re-
assurance at the pathetic little figure
on the sofa. There never yet was a
horse | couldn't manage or that could
harm me. Come along, Jerry"
He stamped upstairs to his dress
ing-room followed by the reluctant,
still muttering Gerald.
This was by no means the first
time Mrs. Conover had plucked up
courage to entreat her lord not to ride
his favorite horse, Dunderberg, the
most vicious, tricky brute in all that
horse-breeding State. And never yet
had the Railroader deigned to heed
her request. In fact, such opposition
rather pleased him than otherwise,
inasmuch as it enhanced, to all listen
ers, his own equestrian prowess.
Caleb Conover was a VIGOROUSLY
bad rider. Horsemanship must be
learned before the age of 20 or never
at all. And Conover was well past
40 before he threw leg over saddle.
But he loved the exercise, and took
special joy in buying and mastering
