the first part Of your determination.
about coming back" she answered
but as for the second-why, ] think
you have another guess coming, Mr.
jameson"
Walters face turned crimson. After
all. 1t is not exactly pleasant to have
ones offer of marriage laughed to
scorn, even though one has made 1t
out of sense of duty.
He looked into Nancy's mockng
face and said good-by. But that was
not his last visit to the Dayton home.
On the contrary, he called frequently
after that--only 1t was to see Miss
Elizabeth. And sometimes words were
said which brought the color into her
fair face and look OF unutterable
happiness into her eyes.
OF course, Nancy was not slow to
see what was transpiring. She taunt-
ed Elizabeth in her sisterly manner
well, Elizabeth, If you want my
cast-off beau, of course it's all right
she said "Only he'll always be a
pauper, and IL were you | would
send him right about face without de-
lay"
That Walter had asked Nancy to
marry him since his return Elizabeth
did not know. The words stung her.
Walter was not slow to notice the
change in her manner the next time
he called.
Elizabeth, what have l done to Of
fend you?" he pleaded.
You haven't offended me, Mr., jane
son." replied the girl. "Only-people
are saying"
What. dear?" asked.Walter taking
her hand in his.
"That-that you are making love
to me because you can't get Nancy"
she faltered and tried to run away.
But Walter caught her
Now you listen to me-" he said.
IT'S true | did ask Nancy to marry
me when came back. But 1t wasn't
because loved her, Elizabeth AS
soon as | saw you ! knew that l had
loved you all the time It was be-
cause-I felt honor bound my dear.
And when she refused me my heart
just leaped up to think it was going
to be you"
How do you know it's going to be
me?" asked Elizabeth
For answer he took her in his arms
and pressed his lips to hers.
Isn't it?" he demanded eagerly.
And Elizabeth said yes" And then
he told her the momentous secret
which was shortly to set all the town
gaping.
For II was really true. And when
he bought his mother the finest house
in the place, and it became known that
he had made his fortune in the Jane
son gold mine, all Hicksville rushed
to invite him to its homes. But Wal
te- and Elizabeth we're too busy with
their preparations for the coming
wedding to think much about social
life just then
AS for Nancy-there were four new
lines about her mouth forever after,
two on each side; and its downward
droop was decidedly accentuated.

tiful, for then rus thin stream is 10
shattered by projecting rocks near the
top that It comes down like stream
of sunlit mist filled with glittering
pearls. And when the afternoon sun
strikes on II, there is thrown across
the fall the gorgeous rainbow that
gives II its name.
Absolutely unspoiled by tourists and
preserved from exploitation by the
wisdom OF Uncle Sam who has made
this a national forest reservation,
Rainbow Falls is such a delightful spot
that one can scarcely tear himself
away, But you must return TO the ho
tel. for one more interesting sight
awaits. AS the sun is sinking toward
the ice-topped mountains you climb In
to a skin and in ten minutes row over
to the Painted Rocks. On the face OF
a sheer BLUM are several groups of fan
tastic human figures, painted In I'M
perishable pigments by Indians OF
some prehistoric time. They are so
far above the surface OF the water and
the cliff Is so unclimbable that the won
der is how the primitive artists man
aged to get to the place. Probably
their comrades let them down from
above. or possibly in that long gone
day the lake level was much higher
than now.
when you go to Lake Chelan, be
sure to see the petrlhed deer" said a
friend in Seattle. 1T stands on the
bottom in about twenty feet Of water
and can be seen clearly when the lake
is calm. 1t Is supposed to have been
killed and to have fallen into the lake,
where it was petrihed."
This sounded interesting, so the first
thing l asked the skipper OF the lit
tie steamer was: DO we go where
we can see the petrihed deer?"
mo, I'm afraid not" he replied with
a grin. "The truth is l hain't never
seen 1t myself, though I've heard tell
of it. Anyhow, some folks say they
have seen something that looks like
deer"
How about that petri1ed deer?' ]
asked the proprietor of the hotel at
Stehekin who made the return trip
with me.
"Petrified deer? Go on! Some one
has been telling you fairy tales" he

to keep things going, and your father
left only two thousand in insurance,
but we will do our best together"
But she looked wistfully after him
the morning after his arrival, as he
walked over to the Dayton house. She
had seen Nancy Dayton grow into a
sullen discontented girl of twenty
nine. Nancy had never married. She
had refused several good chances, be-
cause she wanted to begin life where
her parents had left off-with a COM
Portable income.
When Walter reached the door he
wab astonished at the vision that he
saw before him. 1t looked like Nancy,
but 1t was an idealized Nancy, the
Nancy of whom he had dreamed dur
ing those lonely years in Nevada.
"Why!-this isn't Nancy!" be
gs sped, staring at the beautiful young
girl who stood smiling at him.
mo, I'm Elizabeth" answered the
girl, blushing at his frank stare of
admiration. Nancy is out this eve
ming. Won't you come in, Mr.. dame
son?'
The news Of Walters arrival had al
ready spread through the village and
reached the Dayton home. II was
well for him that he had not heard the
soathing remarks that Nancy had
made about him.
When he took his leave an hour
later the young man realized that,
whatever his love for NaLcy might
have been, the image that he carried
in his heart had now striking re-
semblance to Elizabeth.
And he was bound in honor to ask
Nancy to be his WIFE That was the
irony Of it, When he called the next
evening and met her his heart sank.
How could he ever have loved Nancy,
thig woman with the affected air and
the peevish lines about her mouth?
Though his welcome was not an ef-
fusive one, Nancy was hospitable, In
virtue OF old associations. Her talk
was vivacious, and all about the balls
and parties to which she had -een.
She spoke of her beaux, with sly
glance at Walter, and lamented the
tediousness of life In a small town.
1t was not until he was about to
leave that Walter summoned up cour-
age to say what was uppermost in his
mind.
Nancy, do you remember what !
told you last time we parted?" he
asked.
Nancy's heart beat quickly, but it
was not with love. She had not had
a proposal for six months, and she
was longing for another scalp to hang
at her girdle.
mo, Mr.. Jameson. What was it?"
she inquired archly.
"That vas coming back to marry
you," he answered
Nan0y's shrill laugh pierced the air.
"Well, you certainly have carried out
