Received Compensation.

Samuel Sinner, of McConnells-
burg, was the first resident Of
this place to receive benefits from
the workmen's Compensation
Act.
Mr.. Sinner was in the employ
I;of w. H. Greathead in the heat
ing and plumbing business, but
on April goth, Sinner was work
ing in the Presbyterian Parson-
age lot where Mr.. Greathead
lives. He pricked one of his
fingers on rose bush thorn, but
thought nothing of it at the time.
Ten days later, on May 1st. the
! finger became SO sore that he
was disabled from working. 1t
grew worse until he suffered
greatly from a very sore hand.
Mr.. Greathead carries workmen's
insurance, and the Fidelity and
Casualty Company of New York
promptly paid the Doctors bill
and half Mr.. Sinners accus-
toned wages for the last thirty
six days of his disability period
which was fifty days.
What makes the case interest
ing is, the injury was not report
ed for ten days after its occur
ence, as it seemed to be of a too
minor nature; but when actual
disability resulted, the Insurance
Company recognized the facts as
emitting Mr.. Sinner to compen-
sation, although the rule is that
medical aid must be secured at
the time of the injury. AS the
injury seemed too trifling this
was not done until inflammation
had set in. This will be of great
interest to employers, as it proves
a mooted question, namely, that
their workmen are fully protect
ed at whatever work engaged in
for them. Mr.. Sinner was not
doing heating and plumbing work
his regular employment with
Mr.. Greathead-a at the time of
the injury. but was gardening.

They feasted famously-tne cuisine
If f,~-s'rgeo1se, was admirable and, bet
t4~ still, well within the resources of
Lanyard's emaciated purse. Nor did
he fret that, when the bill had been
paid and the essential tips bestowed,
there. would remain in his pocket little
more than cab fare. Supremacy self
confident, he harbored no doubts of
smiling future-nOw that the dark
pages in his record had been turned
and sealed by resolution he held IT.
revocable
His spirits had mounted to q high
pitch, thanks to their successful eva
sion. He was young, he was in love,
he was hungry, he was-in short-very
much alive. And the consciousness Of
common peril knitted an enchanting
intimacy into their talk.
For the first time in his history Ian
yard found himself in the company of
woman to whom he dared-and
cared-to speak without reserve--a
circumstance intrinsically intoxicating.
And stimulated by her unquestionable
interest and sympathy, he did talk
without reserve-of old Troyon's and
its drudge Marcel, of Bcurke and his
wanderings, Of the education of the
Lone Wolf. and his career, less in pride
than in relief that it was ended, of the
future he must achieve for himself.
And, sitting with chin Graded on the
| backs Of her interlaced fingers, the
girl listened with such indulgence as
women find always for their lovers. OF
herself she had little to say Lanyard
filed in to his taste the outlines Of
the simple history of the young wom-
an Of good family obliged to become
self-supporting.
And if at times her grave eyes
clouded and her attention wandered,
it was less in ennui than because of
occult trains of thought set in motion
Lanyard's.
.I'm boring you" he suggested once
with quick contrition, waking up to the
fact that he'd monopolized the CONVEX
sation for many minutes on end.
She shook a pensive head. mo,
again. But, wonder, do you appreci-
ate the magnitude Of the task you've
set yourself?"
Possibly not" he conceded AFRO
gantly; "but it doesn't matter. The
heavier the odds, the greater the in
centive to win"
Il do believe that, and yet" She
lowered her head and began to trace

tested hastily. Please don't run away
with any absurd notion like that Do
yon imagine I'd consent to treat with

"All the same" she contended stub
bornly, I'm the stumbling block.
You're risking your life for me"
'Well." he laughed, "have it your
own way! But it's my life, isn't it?
| really don't see how you're going to
prevent my risking it for anything that
may seem to me worth the risk"
But she wouldn't laugh; only her
countenance, suddenly bereft of its mu-
tinous expression, softened winningly
and her eyes grew very kind to him.
Gas long as it's understood / under

"I'll do as you wish, Mr.. Lanyard"

unbarred and swung open low,

ering the black mouth of narrow
and tunnel-iike passageway that ran
off at right angles from the side Of the
house.
With word Of caution, flash-lamp in
his left hand, pistol in right, Lanyard
stepped out into the darkness.
In two minutes he was back with a
look of relief.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Sheer Impudence.

Sneer ImPuuences
Though it was not yet eight o'clock
when they entered the restaurant, it
was something after eleven before
Lanyard called for his bill.
Now again the rain had ceased and,
though the sky remained overcast, the
atmosphere was clear and brisk with a
touch of frost, in grateful contrast to
the dull and muggy air that had OBJ
tanned for the last twenty-four hours.
"We'll walk" Lanyard suggested
"if you don't mind-part of the way at
least; it'll eat up time, and bit of ex-
ercise will do us both good"
The girl assented quietly.
The drum of their heels on fast-dry-
ing sidewalks struck sharp echoes
from the silence Of that drowsy quar-
ter, lonely clamor that rendered it
impossible to ignore their apparent
solitude-as impossible as it was for
Lanyard to ignore the fact that they
were followed.
Supremacy on the alert, he had dis
covered the pursuit before they left
the block of the restaurant. Dissem-
bling, partly to avoid alarming the
girl, partly to trick the follower into a
feeling of greater security, he turned
this way and that, round several cor
