And, as II registering a solemn
promise, Walter Burdett looked into
her eyes, and she knew he would not
falter in his chosen mission.
No efforts were spared to run down
the assassin, but not the slightest clue
as to his identity or whereabouts was
discovered. There was a description
Of stranger seen about the town the
day of the murder, but it was vague
and led to no results of value.
Very often Walter visited the now
deserted home of the dead jurist. 1t
became necessary. Don, recovering
from his fearful wounds, refused to
leave the grounds. He would linger
all day and night near the closed door
way Of the house, looking UP and down
the road constantly as if expecting
some one he was looking for to
pass by.
Walter finally dragged the dog
house to the spot, chained up Don
and morning and night brought him his
meals.
There came climax. One moon
light evening Walter had just attend
ed to the wants of the poor, faithful
animal when an automobile sped by.
Don had made a sudden leap, with a
sharp, wild cry. He tugged at his
chain, he glared after the disappear
ing machine. Plainly in the clear
moonlight Walter saw that 1t held but
one person, man, apparently a
stranger in the district.
Don leaped into the air. He bit his
chain, he was fairly frantic. A speedy
thought impressed Walter as, follow.

By the time the light was no longer
desirable and the girl had gone the art
ist began to wish he might expect to find
his model there on the following day
A pouring rain prevented the artist
from going to paint on the next day, but
bright and early on the third morning
he wended his way to the hilltop with
palette and easel and all necessary
paraphernalia-
He had hardly begun TO mix his col

she should have returned, and he was

could not account for her presence. He
worked fast and his pictures grew won

And. as before, the girl finished her ap-
parently satisfying meal and betook her
self on by way OF the winding creek
path. After that the artist did not
paint with such enthusiasm.
IF she's there again I'll say she's
nutty." he said ineIegantly to himself as
he folded his easel.
But she was there, and she consumed
quantities Of watercress and hummed
and seemed content to be alive. The art

WATERCRESS.
By ROSE WALLACE.

of watercress the first time George Mad

He had come there to paint and to get
away from his sisters many chattering
girl friends. who seemed always 10 be
occupying porch and lawn and pergola
at home.
He was trying to get his picture in his
vision, and was squirting and otherwise
distorting his face when he saw Der drop
into his canvas, as 1t were. He was max
ing bits Of scenery to frame for a frieze
in his tudy, and he would not in the
least have minded having the girl in the
picture IL he could be sure she would
come again and again until he had fin-
ished. But to have her settle herself
down for the time being-perhaps never
to return again for a sittting-was rath-
er disconcerting to the artist. From his
distance he could not tell whether or not
she were pretty. She seemed merely to
be a girl who was there for the purpose
Of gathering watercress from the edge OF
the stream:
Somehow or other. as young Madison
began to sketch in the contour of the
landscape and to work in bits here and
there, the girl seemed a necessary touch.

Chin Sung Was Accused of vio-

The appearance of Deputy United

sioner Richard Stockton late yester-
day was the means Of preventing
Chin Sung, Chinese, from spending
another night in jail.

Chinese exclusion act. He had been
arrested in East Orange by Albert
C. Wiley, an inspector Of Chinese for

ton. who said the Oriental did not
possess a certificate of entrance.
1t was necessary, under the law, to
have the prisoner rearrested by a

admit him to bail, which in this case
was offered by the National Surety
Company. The deputy United States
