Tears and Laughter

THE MYSTERY OF THE SPOTTED
COLLAR

COBBAR.
The caravan was at that time 200
miles to the south, about to turn in
for the winter. But Donovan found it.
BY mistake he ambled into the mems
dressing tent. A young man with
shrewd dark eyes and sinister twist
TO the corner of his lips laid his hand
on Donovan's shoulder.
How'd you get in here?"
Why, I walked in," said Donovan
amiably.
Suppose you walk out again."
Keep yer hair on, bub. I'm here
on business. I'm Iookin' for Mimi La
Frang, S they call her outside She

We'll, I'm her brother. What do
you want with herr"
so ye'er Trainor's brother-in-law?
"Trainor?" said the young man, a
fire lighting his eyes, DO you come
from him?"
yes. An my message is to his
wife"
ooh. That's his kid there"
"Y' don't say so! Well, kind o.
looks like him"
Here's my sister now"
Donovan saw a slight woman of
pretty figure and comely features. She
came through the flap which sepa-
rated the womens dressing tent from
the mems. She looked bit tired and
careworn. The old miner, having had
but little to do with women folk, was
not able to discern, under the richly
yellow glare of the lamps, the air of
distinction which marked Mimi
Trainor as different from her kind.
Fhe Keene family had come from
good stock, but had fallen in evil days
She ran instantly to the baby.
Here's a man from John, Mimi"
said the brother carelessly.
The young woman rushed over to
Donovan and began shaking his hands,
How was her man? Had he struck
it rich? Did he want her to quit and !
go to him?
Donovan began to swallow with
difficulty. How was he going to tell |
her He wanted to run away. He
could now readily understand why
