tracted prodigious debts), real estate
had rapidly deprecated in value, and
the returns on his holdings were I'm
usually small. This fact, combined
with the fact that his outstanding
debts were unusually large, and his
creditors unusually active, had made
him cast about for an avenue of escape
that would clear his every path Of dun
ming tradespeople and at the same
time allow him to continue his life Of
luxurious extravaganza in the accus-
toned way. Marriage seemed the
only way out, and the eligible list, that
is, the people of any (bank book &C.
count, was markedly limited. In fact,
there was only one in town whose for
tune was reassuring enough to COM
pensate for the disadvantages of re-
stricted hours and life half taken up
in leaving and receiving cards. He
had decided to risk it" as he pre-
sumptuously phrased it to himself, and
accordingly, a few months before, had
started to make frequent calls at the
Logan mansion, in an effort to become
better acquainted"
His calls were received Hospitality
at first, and as they continued, gra-
ciously. He was Of the best stock in
that part of the country, and as the
only surviving member of a family
whose ancestors were traced back to
the Landing of the Pilgrims, he was
assured a reception and respect from
Anita Logan (that worshiper at the
shrine of aristocracy) his accomplish
ments would never have entitled him
to.
Scott had decided that the time was
ripe for protesting his love" and
called the day after Paul and his ia
ther had been at the Logan mansion
Anita looked up quickly as he ap-
preached, her face Frightening at the
sight of his well-groomed appearance,
and utter lack of the self-conscious-
ness so. evident in people of less breed
ing.
He dropped gracefully into the seat
beside her, and gently led the talk to
personal matters. Miss Logan" he

silent, you know. And must be with
you.'
"All right, dear. I understand per
fectly. Be right over. Good-by."
Scott came, languid, lackadaisical,
correct to the last detail-his express
sionless face making great impress
sion on Bess, who accepted his air
of quiet authority as indicative OF
the proverbial still waters"
The breakfast was a complete sue
cess in both food and talk, and Ann
felt with pleasure that her surprise
at his announcement that he was 60
ing up to the mountains was as gen
uine as could be desired by the most
exacting critic-which Bess wasn't.
In another hour Bess and Ann,
mounted on two rangy western ponies,
had started their long ascent up the
mountainside, their point of destina-
ton being half mile from where Paul
Reed, in his observatory, nightly
watched the heavens and saw In each
glowing star the image of his loved
one.
Scott arrived late the night of the
same day. The next morning ne
proposed walk over the mountain
side, and was eagerly seconded by
Ann. Bess, however, wearied and
sore with the previous days ride, an
nounced that she was all "in,' and
would await their return at the hotel.
Ann noted with keen displeasure
SCOTS disappointment at Bess' an
nouncement, and was further vexed
when he proposed that they stay and
keep Bess company. His attention, his
solicitude for Bess was, she felt, pass
ing the confines of an effort to be
agreeable.
Bess wouldn't hear of their stay
ing behind, SO they started for their
stroll together. Alfred, disappointed
at Bess absence, and Ann anxious
and trying mentally to laugh away
the fears, that played shadowlike but
persistent in her mind. They took
narrow footpath that wound its way
around the mountainside, hugging
tightly the wall to their left, for in
some places on their right the path
stopped abruptly and the cliff side
fell sheer away into sickening space.
Anita had come up close behind
him painting, but supple and eager,
her fine young frame moving in quick
graceful strides along the trail. Sud-
denly he was aware of the sound of
loosened pebbles rolling down the
cliff behind him-heard her startled
cry-felt her tense, desperate grip on
his arm as she lost her footing
vi.
Turning. half way around, he saw
that she was hanging half over the
cliffside, her face pale and horror
stricken, her only hope for life, out
side of miracle-centering itself in
her grip on his arm. He saw at a
glance the almost sheer declivity Of
the mountain side, and a sickening
dread overcame him as he thought of
what it would mean, should his
strength be not great enough to hold
out. He would be carried over the
side of the cliff with the one clinging
to him! His foot slipped slightly,
dislodging a pebble that bounced its
echoing way down the mountain
side. A horrible, cold dread was on
him. His feet were slipping! With
a quick, fearful, desperate stroke he
struck her hand from his arm, and,
shrinking back against the wall,
watched her start on her downward
slide, dragging host of rafting peb-
bles in her wake.

NEW RULING ON BOND ISSUE
Oklahoma Attorney General Approves
Part Of Total.

Oklahoma City, June 17--In APP
proving bond issue for the city of
Gushing, Attorney General Freezing
has adopted a plan which he says Is
somewhat different from that observ-
ed before. In the particular instance
Gushing voted a $4,000 bond issue,
When the facts show that the debt
limit of the city Is only $4,000. The
law says that no bond issue must be
in excess OF the debt limit, and also
that where a bond issue exceeds such
1nit the whole issue is to be dis
approved
In acting upon the case Freeing
approved the issue up to $50 900
thereby making that much available.
because II the whole issue had been
cancelled. or disapproved, none could
have been used and perhaps the town
could have had no school. The at
torney general, however, made IT
plain that this would not be an iron
clad rule of the office, and that he
would treat every case separately as
Il came to him.
