She stamped her foot.
Where is it: What has it to do with
the plans?"
81 don't know where it is," he re-
sponded sullenly. "A Hindu rug ped
dler bought it,
And Dorr bought it from himT'
mot yet" he said, rtsking the state
ment. "Now all have to do is to find
Mr.. Peddler and get 1t back"
Mrs. DarneIl flung herself into a
chair and laughed Historically.
You mean to tell me Tom Gallon
hid his plans in a heather idol and
that we overlooked them and that a
rug peddler has them now?"
She leaned forward, clinching her
soft hands on her knees.
do you know all you have made
me go through, Harry? Kidnapping,
theft. murder-yes, murder-and at the
end Of it all, when we neither Of US
dare breathe for fear of the police fin
ally getting US, you tell me that a
tramp has got what we want! I'm
done
Wilkerson had expected and feared
this. He sew his wild efforts going
for nothing. Without her assistance
and her money he was helpless.
And profounder even than his hatred
Of Dorr and his desire for the hidden
wealth was his agony at the thought
of his failure to win this woman whom
he loved.
Love is a noun which conveys to the
ordinary mortal no definite meaning
without an adjective. There is, indeed,
an essence of love. q complete and all
absorbing passion, before which even
the gods bow and against which the
world is powerless. Too often we
must describe 1t as lawless.
Yet it also exists when it evokes the
reverence Of the most cynical. VIII
kerson's love for Jean Darneu was the
very essence of his being.
1t had made a bravo Of a coward
It had welded q dozen strands Of vi
ciousness, weakness, wickedness and
righteousness 1ulU SLouS CldIdI-
ter-strong only in its relation to the
woman.
The past few weeks. with their wild
ness, risk, crime and continual plot
ting, had made the Harry Wilkerson
who was weakling and sport of cir
cumstances into q personality who
must be dealt with.
Jean Darnell realized something OF
this when he next spoke,
"All this has been disappointing" he
said quietly, his eyes burning steadily
on hers. But the more disappoint-
ments l have to overcome the more
worth while it will make you"
"Quite an old time knight" she said
scornfully. but with an effort.
II am going to get that idol" he
went on. y know just two things

weather had overspread the districts
between the Mississippi River and the
ROCKY Mountains, and during the clos
ing days Of the week il extended into
the eastern districts, so that at the
END temperatures were generally below
normal save in the far Northwest and
along the Pacific coast.
NO marked changes occurred in the
ice conditions as compared with last
week, the largest increases occurring
IN the Lake region, although some de-
creases were reported from both the
upper and lower Lakes.
The high waters in the Ohio River
Basin probably broke up and carried
out any ice that had formed over the
streams of that region.
