CHAPTER XII.
In tho Shadow Of the Mil.

In the Shadow Of the Mill.
The next day but one was overcast.
On cloudy. bleak days Hetty Castle
ton always felt depressed.
Leslie was to return from the wilds
on the following day. Early In the
morning Booth had telephoned to in
quire If she did not want to go for a
long walk with him before luncheon.
The portrait was finished, but he
could not afford to miss the morning
hour with her. He said as much to
her in pressing his invitation.
Tomorrow Leslie will be here and
1 sha'n't see as much of you as I'd
like" he explained, rather wistfully.
Three is a crowd, you know. I've
got SO used to having you all to my
self, it's hard to break of suddenly"
Il will be ready at eleven" she said,
and was instantly surprised to find
that her voice rang with new life, new
interest. The grayness seemed to lift
from the view that stretched beyond
the window; she even looked for the
sun in her eagerness.
1t was then that she knew why the
world had been bleaker than usual,
even in it's cloak of gray.
A little before eleven she set out
briskly to intercept him at the gates.
Unknown to her, Sara sat in her
window, and viewed her departure
with gloomy eyes. The world also
was gray for her.
They came upon each other unex-
pectedly at sharp turn in the ave-
nue. Hetty colored with a sudden
rush of confusion, and had all she
could do to meet his eager, happy
eyes as he stood over her and pro-
claimed his pleasure in jerky, awk-
ward sentences. Then they walked
on together. a strange shyness at
tending them. She experienced the
faintness of breath that comes when
the heart is filled with pleasant
alarms. AS for Booth, his blood sang
He thrilled with the joy of being near
her, of the feel of her all about him.
Of the delicious feminine appeal that
made her so wonderful to him. He
wanted to crush her in his arms, to
keep her there forever, to exert all
of his brute physical strength SO that
she might never again be herself but
a part of him
They uttered commonplaces. The
spell was on them. 1t would lift, but
for the moment they were powerless
to struggle against it. At length he
saw the color fade from her cheeks;
her eyes were able to meet his with
out the look in them that all men love.
Then he seemed to get his feet on the
ground again, and a strange, ineffa bly,
sweet sense of calm took possession
of him.
81 must paint you all over again, -
he said, suddenly breaking in on one
of her remarks. Just as you are
today-an outdoor girl. a glorious out
door girl in"
in muddy boots" she laughed,
drawing her skirt away to reveal a
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1914-07-04

Not necessarily If you take 1t
manfully she may discover a new In
terest in you Don't breathe a word
of love to her. Go on as IL nothing
had happened. Don't forget that
told you in the beginning not to take
no for an answer"
He dropped once more, biting his
lip 81 don't see how 1 can ever tell
mother that she refused"
why tell her?" she inquired, rising.
His eyes frightened by Jove, 1
shan't," he exclaimed
Il am going up to the poor child
now" she went on. 81 dare say you
have frightened her almost to death
Naturally she is in great distress /
shall try to convince her that her de-
cision does not alter her position in
this house. 1 depend on you to do
your part, Leslie Make 1t easy for
her to stay on with me-"

And yet neither of them looked
about in search for the intruder!
Far into the night Sara sat in the
window of Hettyis dressing room, her
chin sunk low in her hands, staring
moodily into the now Opaque night,
her eyes somber and unblinking, her
body as motionless as death itself.
The cooling wind caressed her and
whispered warnings into her unheed-
ing ears. but she sat there unprotect-
ed against it's chill, her nightdress
damp with the mist that crept up with
sinister stealth from the sea-

Il fancy you must have gone about

"Badly2" he gasped. 'Why-why

understand myself doing 1t either. 1
must have lost my head completely.
Begged like a love-sick schoolboy!
And she kept on saying no-no-no!
And 1, like a blithering ass. kept on
telling her 1 couldn't live without her,
that I'd make her happy. that she
didn't know what she was saying,
and But. good Lord, she kept on
saying MOI Nothing but mol Do-do
you think she meant to say no? Could
it have been hysteria? She said it so
often. over and over again. that 1t
might have been hysteria- / never
thought of that. /"
No, Leslie, 1t wasn't hysteria. you
may be sure of that" she said de-
liberately. "She meant 1t, old fell
low"
He sagged deeper in the chair
Il can't get it through my head"
he muttered.
''As I said before, you did 1t badly"
she said. You took too much for
granted. Isn't that true?"
God knows 1 didn't expect her to
refuse me-" he exclaimed, glazing at
her. Would 1 have been such fool
as to ask her If 1 thought there was
the remotest chance of being" The
very thought of the word caused It to
stick In his throat. He swallowed
hard

his voice. 81 adore her, Sara.

of it is, / love her now more than
1 did before. Oh. it's appallingI It's
horrible! What am / to do, Sara?
What am / to do?"

Don't joke with me- he groaned.

In the morning tell her that you I'M

has done for you. Be"
Thank herr" he almost shouted
Yes; for destroying all that is de-
testable in you. Leslie-your self-con-
ceit, your arrogance, your false no

your egotism."
He blinked incredulously. do you
know what you're saying?" he gasped.
She went on as If she hadn't heard
him.
Assure her that she is to feel no
conjunction for what she has done,
that you are content to be her loyal,
devoted friend to the end of your
days"
But, hang 1t, Sara, 1 love heri"
Don't let her suspect that you are
Inundated. On the contrary, give her
to understand that you are cleansed

What utter tommy"
Wait! Believe me, 1t is your only

time that you can't ride roughshod
among angels. Think 1t over, old fell

Profit by it,

Minimum Wage
 Law For Women

The fist decision has been ren- dei ed on the constitutiolalfty of the minimum m wage law for women and children in the state of Oregon. In Il test c'se brought by paper box manufacturer, Judge Cleeton of the circuit court at Portland, he d last week that tae minimum wage law is constitutional. The Plaintiif will now carry the case to the state supreme court, where it is unlikely that there will be deci- sion before next year. It is under. stood that the capi.alistic interests 8 iu Oregon and neigh boring stadas supported the complainant in the case and the outcome of the con- test bas been watched with unNua interest by the working people oi the Pacific coast, as similar laws are in existence in Washington and California. while steps are be. ing taken in Montana and other states to secure the enactment oi similar measures. Public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of mini. mum wage laws cn the coast and it is isunlikely that the courts will at- tempt to defy the general senti' ment.
