Did she call you UP, father?" asked
Vivian, leaning over the rail.
Yes. About nothing in particular,
however"
She turned upon Booth with mock
ing smile. He felt the color rush to
his face, and was angry with himself.
He went to the telephone. Almost
her first words were these:
What has Vivian been telling you
about me, Brandon?"
He actually gasped. Good heavens,

He heard her low laugh. so she

He was at loss for words. 1t was
positively uncanny. AS he stood there,

and then the soughing of the wind

The next day he called her up on
the telephone quite early. He knew
her habits. She would be abroad in
her gardens by eight o'clock He re-
membered well that Leslie, in com

For a long time she stood immov-
able just inside the door. recalling
the horrid picture of another day. She
tried to imagine the scene that had
been enacted there with gentle, low
able Hetty Glynn and her whilom
husband as the principal characters.
The girl had told the whole story of
that ugly night. Sara tried to see 1t
as 1t actually had transpired. For
months this present enterprise had
been in her mind: the desire to see
the place again, to go there with old
Impressions which she could leave be-
hind when ready to emerge in a new
frame of mind. 1t was true that she
meant to shake of the shackles, of a
horrid dream, to purge herself of the
last vestige of bitterness, to cleanse
her mind of certain thoughts and mem
cries.
Downstairs Booth waited for her.
He heard the story of the tragedy from
the innkeeper. who Grossly maintained
that his business had been ruined.

The weeks slipped by. He was with
her almost daily. Other people came
to her house, some for rather protract-
ed visits, others in quest of pillage at
the nightly bridge table, but he was
seldom missing. There were times
when he thought he detected a ten
dency to waver, but each cunning at
tempt on his part to encourage the
impulse invariably brought certain
knocking light into her eyes and he
veered off in defeat. Something kept
telling him, however, that the hour
was bound to come when she would
falter in her resolution; when frank
ness would meet frankness, and the
the veil be lifted.
There were no letters from Hetty,
no word of any description. II Sara
knew anything of the girls movements
she did not take Booth into her conf
dence.

NUMEROUS CALLS
FROM BURGLARS
TWO STORES BROKEN INTO IN
A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
MOVING THIS WAY.

From being an orderly community
this town is rapidly gaining repu-
tation for lawlessness and disorder.
The reason is not far TO seek when
it is seen that there are dozens of
undesirables passing through from
day to day, sometimes abiding for
season with US. The Short Line rail-
road affords transportation and we
get about the worst importations go
ing. Such people are flocking from
the east coast to the west.
Tuesday morning early risers found
two business places burglarized, the
Stockgrowers and the Shoshone Hard
ware. Into each store an entrance
was gained through the front door.
Pistols and ammunition were taken
from the hardware, at least four high
priced weapons of the Colts and Saw
age make, but what else could not be
ascertained. From the Stockgrowers
nothing was missed. There were evil
dences of a futile effort at opening
the safe in this store, while in both
stores cash registers were opened. No
cash was taken because no cash was
left in them.
1t was only short time ago that
two other stores in town were bur-
glarized in a similar manner and the
operations of the kind are getting a
trifle monotonous.
A night watchTuan on his job all
night would relieve the situation
