At that very hour, though he did not
know it, Fay and Ross were taking
walk in the park. They had been low
ers for several weeks and now had
come the parting for few months, at
least.
Il fear it would worry your father to
have me speak to him about our en-.
gagement," said Ross. my feeling is
that we should think only of him in
the present crisis
"Oh. if he would only get WE'LL"
sighed Fay "or, rather If he could
only dsabuse his mind Of the constant
dread that he is going to die"
While you are away | am going to
devote day and night to the business"
asserted Ross, staunchly. Perhaps
the good reports l anticipate will
cheer him up"
But although within month the
application and efficiency of Ross
gave to the business new life and
grand record of profit, at the end of
two months Richard Harper returned
worse off physically and mentally than
ever. His fears were sapping his vi
tality and he took little interest in
anything now.
One evening some relatives with
small children visited the Harper home
,and Mr. Harper could not help but no.
tice the little ones. AS he retired to
his own apartment he suddenly gasped.
From his chest there sounded faint,
unnatural, squeaky note.
Heart murmurs!" he articulated,

strained nerves carried him into q
state of insensibility.
Thus Fay found him. Ross was in

by one of the children.

Which Richard Harper was, when

Harper, when alone with Fay and
Ross. "But now, with the business all

BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

It's a rather forlorn proposition, "
remarked Biggs. the only lawyer In the
frontier town OF Sierra.
Il have already taken that view of
the case responded Maurice Allen in
rather gloomy tone.
TOO bad you wasted the time and
money coming way out here. II you
have four thousand dollars cash you
can fix 1t up"
Il have scarcely four thousand
cents" replied Maurice definitely.
Still am not sorry that came" he
added to himself, and the thought
brought brighter expression to his
face.
You see," explained the lawyer,
''the Triumph mine is penalized for
two thousand five hundred dollars.
Then there are some outside claims
against it. There is still an equity Of
redemption, but 1t runs for only thirty
days"
Il cannot raise the money" declared
Maurice. Miss Dale, as you know, has
no means. We will have to let the prop
orty go by default"
As Maurice left the attorneys office
and rather gloomily walked along the
poor streets of the primitive mining
settlement ne had deal to occupy his
thoughts. His father had died in the
east few months previous, leaving
barely enough to pay his debts. Only
one possible asset was discovered-a
half interest in the Triumph mine OF
Sierra His partner in that enterprise
had been Samuel Dale.
| Maurice had come west to see II
there was anything tangible to the
proposition. It was to find Samuel
Dale dead and his daughter Winnie
teaching the one school in the dis

He found her as helpless as himself
In the way OF finances. He marveled
to discover this educated girl, the
graduate OF high class eastern col
lege, among such crude environment.
In fact she and himself were about the
only persons In the settlement of any
refinement and culture.
He was interested In her the mo-
ment he met her, and her sad story
won his deepest sympathy and regard.
1t appeared that her father was an
old friend of the father of Maurice, who
had financed the mine. It's value was
undeniable, but Mr. Allen had died at
time when more capital was needed,
and Mr. Dale broke down under the
