he escapes the hue and cry and goes
aboard the Belle Julie as a deckhand He
unexpectedly confronts Charlotte Farm
ham of Wahaska, Mimi, who had seen
him cash Galbraith's check in the bank.
Charlotte recognizes Griswoid but de-
cides to write to Galbraith rather than
denounce the robber to the captain. She
sees the brutal mate rescued from drown
ing by Griswold and delays sending her
letter to Galbraith. She talks to Girls

thing to you ought to be a sufficient
answer, ! should think" was her mild
retort
i don't see why" Raymer objected.
What would you think If Gertrude
did such thing?"
"Oh, well; that is different. In the
first place, Gertrude wouldn't do it,
and"
Precisely. And Miss Grierson
shouldn't have done It. 1t is because
she can do such things that few
think she wouldn't be a pleasant per.
son to know. socially"
but why?" insisted Raymer, with
masculine obtuseness.
1t was his sister who undertook to
make the reason plain to him.
1T isn't anything she does, OF
doesn't do, particularly; it is the at.
mosphere in which she lives and
moves and has her being. II 1t weren't
for her fathers money, she would be-
well, 1t is rather hard to say Just
what she would be. But she always
makes me think of the bonanza
people-the pick and shovel one day
and million the next. / believe she
is frank little savage, at heart"
i don't" the brother contended,
doggedly. "She may be a trife new
and fresh for Wahaska, but she is
clever and bright, and honest enough
to ignore a social code which makes
mock of sincerity and a virtue of
hypocrisy. l like her all the better
for the way she fared out at me.
There isn't one young woman in a
thousand who would have had the
nerve and the courage to do it."
"Or the impudence," added Mrs.
Raymer, when her son had left the
room. Then: II do hope Edward isn't
going to let that girl come between
him and Charlottel"
The daughter laughed.
Il should say there is room for a
regiment to march between them, as
1t is. Miss Gilman took particular
pains to let him know what train they
were leaving on, and / happen to
know he never went near the station
to tell them good-by."

the answer came gravely: You have a
very sick man on your hands, Miss
Margery." The1 the inevitable:
who is her"
She spread her hands in pretty az
fectation of embarrassment.
What will you think of me. Doctor
Farnham, when tell you that ]
haven't the littlest atom OF an idea?"
Charlotte's father was a small man.
with kindly eyes and the firm, straight.
lined mouth of his Puritan forbears
Tell me about it." he said concisely.
She told him.
A shrewd smile fiickered for an IN
slant in the kindly eyes of Wahaska' g
best-beloved physician.
Almost anyone else would have
found plenty of other things to door
not to do" was his comment. "Are
you prepared to go on, Miss Margery?"
There were fine little lines coming
and going between Miss Margery's
straight black brows. I'VE needn't
do it by halves, DOCTOR" she said de-
cisively. 'If it would be better to
wire st. Paul or Minneapolis and get
a trained nurse"
You'd stand the extra expense,
Of course" laughed the doctor. you
are all the worlds good angel when
you set out to be, Miss Margery. And
I'll send somebody before bedtime.
Meanwhile. there's nothing u do but
to keep your patient quiet; and he'll
do that for himself for few hours. |

Margery went to the outer door with
her kindly counselor, playing the part
of the gracious hostess as one who is.
or who means to be, precisely letter.
perfect; and after he was gone, she
went slowly upstairs and let herself
softly into the room OF shaded lights.
The sick man was reTting quietly, and
he did not stir when she crossed to the
bed and laid cool palm on his fore
head

or to break into the suitcases under

"Well?" said the father again, this
time with more decided upward IN

made up your mind what you're going
to do: say It."
Margery's decision was announced
crisply. There Is no hospital to send
him to which is Wahaska's shame

upon Jasper Grierson's heavy face.

Miss Margery tossed her pretty

All other gifts apart, Miss Griersor
could boast of a degree of executive
ability little inferior to her fathers;
did boast of 1t when the occasion OF
fered; and by the time the whistle
was sounding for Wahaska, all the ar
rangements had been made for the
provisional rescue of the sick man in
lower six.
At the station single inquiry served
to give the Good Samaritan intention
the right Of way. There were nc
friends to meet lower six; but the
Grierson carriage was waiting. with
the coachman and a Mereside gardener
for bearers. From that to putting the
sick man to bed In one Of the guest
chambers of the lake-fronting mansion
at the opposite end of the town was q
mere bit of routine for one so capable
as Miss Grierson; and twenty minutes
after the successful transfer she had
Doctor Farnham at the nameless ones
bedside and was telephoning the col
lege inf1rmary for nurse.
Naturally, there were explanations
to be made when the doctor came
down. To her first anxious question

CHAPTER XII.
The ZweIbund.

On his second visit to the sick man
lodged in the padded Injuries of one OF
the guest rooms at Mereside, made on
the morning following the Grierson
homecoming. Doctor Farnham found
the hospital status established, good
natured Swede installed as nurse, she
bells mufiied and Miss Margery play
ing the part of sister superior and
dressing it, from the dainty, felt-soled
slippers to the smooth banding of her
hair.
An hour later, however, II was the
Margery of the Wahaska renais-
sance, joyously clad and radiant, who
was holding the reins over big Eng
lish trap horse. parading down Main
street and smiling greetings to every
body.
BY one Of the chances which he was
willing to call fortunate. Edward Ray
mer was at the curb to help her down
from her high seat in the trap when
she pulled the big horse to stand in
front of her fathers bank.
I'm the luckiest man in Red Earth
county; was Just wondering when
/ should get in line to tell you how
glad we are to have you back" he
said. with his eyes shining.
Are you, really2 You are not half
as glad as am to be back. There is
no place like home. you know"
There isn't, and there oughtn't to
be-" was his quick response. I've
been hoping you'd come to look upon
Wahaska as your home. and now
know you do"
"Why shouldn't II" she laughed. and
she was reaching for paper-wrapped
package on the trap seat when he got
1t for her.
you are going somewhere7-may |
carry It for your" he asked; but she
shook her head and took 1t from him.
"Only into the bank" she explained;
and she was beginning to tell him he
must come to Mereside when the sick
man episode obtruded itself. and the
invitation was broken in the midst,
very prettily, very effectively.
Il know" Raymer said. In instant
sympathy. you have your hands full
just now. VIII you let me say that it's
the finest thing l ever heard of-your
taking that poor fellow home and car
ing for him?"
Gertrude Raymer had once said in
her brothers hearing that Miss Grier-
sons color would be charming II 1t
were only natural. Looking into Miss
Grierson's eyes Raymer saw the refu-
tation of the SANDER In the suffusing
wave Of generous embarrassment
deepening IN warm tints on the perfect
neck and cheek.
"Oh, dear met" she said In pathetic
protest; "is It all over town 80 soon2

Good samarItans.


Since she had undertaken to show
Wahaska precisely how to deport IL

Grierson had telegraphed her father
to meet her in st. Louis ON her return
from Florida.

fed with section In the body of the
car. But when Margery's tastes were
to be consulted, the drawing-room was
none too good. Indeed, as it transpired
on the journey northward from st.
Louis. the Anita's drawing-room
proved to be not good enough.
ut is simply a crude insult, the
way they wear out their old, broken
down cars on us up herel" she pro-
tested to her father. you ought to
do something about It,"
Jasper Grierson's smile was a capi-
talistic requirement, and some of his
fellow-townsmen described 1t as "cast
IRON" But for his daughter it was
always indulgent.
0OA OWh ShO yet,
Madgis; youll have to give me little
more time" he pleaded, clipping the
tip from a black cigar of heroic pro-
portions and reaching for the box of
safety matches.
"Ill begin now, II you are going to
smoke that dreadful thing In this
stuffy little den," was the unfllial re-
tort; and the daughter found a maya
zine and exchanged the drawing-room
with its threat of asphyxiation for a
seat in the body Of the car. Halfway
down the car one of the sections was
still curtained and bulkheaded; of
course, the occupant of the middle
section must be ILL., Quite suddenly
her interest became acute. Who was
the sick one, and why was he, or she,
travelling without on attendant?
With Margery Grierson, to question
was to ascertain; and the Pullman
conductor, once more checking his dia-
grams In Section IL, offered the readi-
est means of enlightenment. A few
minutes later Margery re1oined her
father in the private compartment.
do you remember the nice-looking
young man who sat at the table with
US In the Choteau last night?" she
began abruptly.
The gray-woR Jasper nodded. He
had an excellent memory for faces.
What did you think of him?" The
query followed the nod like a nimble
boxers return blow.
Il thought he paid whole lot more
attention to you than he did to his
supper. Why7"
HE is on this car; sick with a fever
of some kind, and out of his head. He

and called me 'Carlotta mia"
"Humph! he didn't looS like dago."
He isn't; it's just because he is

Nezperce and Grangeville to
Open Season on Local
Ball Grounds.

The formal opening OF the 1915 base
ball season in Grangeville occurs at
the ball park next Sunday afternoon
when the local club ties into the scrap

to be one OF the fastest and most
closely contested games ever staged
on the local sandlot.
Fresh from a victory OF to over

The local team goes into the Nez-

been practicing assiduously the past
week the fact is apparent that the

1t certainly takes diabolical gall to

such was the case last Friday after
neon when Doc Fisher, Redmond and
Drennen invited themselves to Wig

present that our wishes were not to
be considered, and prompted by their
selfish motives and political griev-
ances, persisted in taking up the time
that was intended for our Community

given to the request that they dscon-
