see his face against the strong, gray
light behind.
But when the footman had bowed
and retired and we were alone, he
turned slightly, and l then saw that
his bony face, with high cheek bones,
slight gray side whiskers, hard mouth
and black eyes set closely together,
was of one who could act without any
conjunction and without regret.
Truly one would not be surprised at
any cruel, dastardly action Of a man
with such a face-the face of an op-
pressor.
"Well?" he snapped in French in a
high-pitched voice. "You want to- see
me concerning that mad English girl?
What picturesque lies do you intend
to tell me concerning herr"
II have no intention of telling any
untruths concerning her." was my
quick response, as l faced him I'M
finchingly. "She has told me sufl-
cient to-"
His eyes met mine, and / saw by his
drawn face and narrow brows that my
words we're causing him the utmost
CONSERVATION. My object was to make
him believe that l knew more than ]
really did-to hold him in fear, in fact,
perhaps the mar whom some know
as Horribly, or Woodroffe, could tell
an interesting story" l went on. "He
will, no doubt, when he meets Elma
Heath, and finds the terrible afflictior
of which she has been the victim"
His thin, bony countenance was
bloodless, his mouth twitched and hi:
gray brows contracted quickly.
81 haven't the least idea what vol
mean, my dear sir" he stammered
"All that you say is entirely enigmat
ical to me. What have l to do will
this mad Englishwoman's affairs?"
"only that you knew her. Remem
Der, baron, that your secret is mine,
I said in a clear voice full Of meaning
every well. You know better thai
myself" he laughed. 1.-THE offense TO

When Tommy swore.

Here is a minor tragedy Of the war,
but a very real one, says the London
Mirror. Tommy had not tasted tea
for days; he was longing for tea with
an intensity which only comes upon
one in a Frenck village. He had Just
enough tea and sugar to make one
tinful, but no hot water, and no
French with which to ask for It. With
wild ge~sticulation he sought to explain
TO a woman his need. She took the
tin Of tea and sugar and disappeared
into her cottage. Anon she emerged
triumphant, with the tin full Of cold
water and Tommy's whole stock OF tea
floating about in 1t. Then II was that
French came to him. He says he
smoke 1t like a--trooper.

CHAPTER XIII.
MThe %StranuIer."

Where was Elma? What was the
cause of her inexplicable disappear
ance into the gloomy forest while we
had slept?
/ returned to the hotel where | had
stayed on my arrival, a comfortable
place called the Phoenix, and lunched
there alone. Both Felix, the Finn,
and my host, the wood cutter, had re-
ceived their douceurs and left, but to
the last-named l had given instruc-
tions to return home at once and re-
port by telegraph any news of my lost
one.
A thousand conflicting thoughts
arose within me as l sat in that crowd
ed sale a manger filled with a COB.
bling crowd of the commercial men of
Abo. l had, l recognized, now to deal
with the most powerful man in that
country, and l suffered a distinct dis
advantage by being in ignorance of
the reason he held that sweet English
girl a prisoner. The tragedy of the
~dastardly name in which she had
been willfully MANNED caused my
blood to boil within me. l had never
believed that in this civilized TWEEN
tieth century such things could be.
Why she had disappeared without
warning l was at loss to imagine, yet
l could only surmise that her fight
had been compulsory. Another very
curious feature in the affair was the
sudden manner in which Michael b.
ranski had exacted his power and in
1uence in order to render me that
service.
There was, I felt convinced, some
hidden motive in all that sudden and
marked friendliness. That he really
hated the English l had seen plainly
when we had first met, and l had only
compelled him to serve me by present
ing the order signed by the emperor,
which made me his guest within the
Russian dominions. Even that docu.
ment did not account for the length
he had gone to secure the release oil
the l now loved in secret.
l could not bring myself to leave
Finland, and allow Elma to fall into
the clutches of that high official who
so persistently sought her end. No

Snow fell last winter to a depth OF
over three feet in the upland districts
of Athol and S~trathtay, and on several
safeguarding holdings 1t was impos-
sible to gather the sheep herds. In
n case e shepherds dog successfully
located a sheep which got enveloped
in a large wreath. The dog scraped
away the snow, disclosing the pres

worse for its confinement. For some
time hand feeding of hill herds and
high-Iying grazing stocks had to be re-
sorted to. While hay is fairly plenti-
full this season the stock Of roots
available is somewhat small.

sired to be brought here to you be-

said you would be aware of the facts"
"And so l am" remarked Boranski,
with a smile. There is no conspiracy.
