lice, denounce him"
She hesitated, breathless and an
pealing.
At her first words he had drawn
close TO her; and all their speech was
couched in muted murmurings, barely
more than whisperings. And this was
quite instructive, for in the passion Of
that meeting both had been carried be-
yond considerations of prudence, their
most coherent thought being that now,
once and for all time, all misunder-
standing between them must be done
away with.
And now, as naturally as though
they had been lovers always, Lanyard
possessed himself of her hand.
You cared as much as that" he
said.
81 love you," she declared tensely-
81 love you so much / am ready to sac
rifice everything for you-life, liberty,
honor"
flush, dearest, hush!" he begged
half distracted between joy and pain.
81 mean it; if honor could hold me
back, do you think would have bro
ken in here tonight to rob for Ban

"He sent you, eh?" Lanyard COM
mented in dangerous voice.
HE was too cunning for me. I was
afraid to tell you. l meant to tell-to
warn you this evening in the cab. And
then + thought perhaps if we're cold
and distant and let you go on believing
me the worst of women perhaps you
would go away, save yourself. forget

"Never!"

lying to him, but he wouldn't have it,
They forced the truth from me by
threats"
They wouldn't dare"
"They Care anything, / tell you. But
it wasn't threats of personal injury to
me, but to you, if / refused to tell them
the truth, the whole truth. They knew
enough of what had happened,
through their spies, to go on, and they
tcrmented and bullied me until broke
down and told them everything And
when they learned you had replaced
the jewels here, BannOn told me must
return and bring them to him. He said
If / refused he'd have you killed be-

night; then, just as was going to bed
he received a telephone message, and
told me you were driving taxi and
were being followed by Apaches and

"You came alone?"
''No. Three men brought me to the
gate. They're waiting outside in the
park"
'Apaches?"
1.-TWO of themI presume they're
Apaches, at least. The third is Cap
tain Ekstrom."
"Ekstrom!" Lanyard cried in de-
spair is he"
The dull but heavy slam OF the great
front doors silenced him.

"Thanks!" Madame's accents now
discovered a trace of somewhat dry
humor "I'll leave that to you. Turn
out your pockets on the desk there
and remember, I'll stand no nom
sense!"
The weapon covered Lanyard stead
lily, leaving him no alternative but to
obey. AS for that, he was glad of the
excuse to listen for any sound to indi-
cate how the girl was faring in her
flight. And he made a pretense Of
trembling fingers to cover the slowness
with which he complied.
But he heard nothing.
When at length he had visibly turned
every pocket inside out, and their con-
tents lay upon the desk, the woman
looked them over incuriously.
"Put them back" she said CURLY.
"And then fetch that chair over there
the one in the corner. I've a notion
I'd like to talk to you. That's the usual
thing. isn't it?''
"How?" Lanyard demanded with a
vacant stare.
I'm all the criminal novels I've ever
read, the law-abiding householder al
ways sits down and has sociable chat
with the housebreaker- calling

the price you've to pay for my hospital
ity."
She paused, cycling Lanyard inquis-
ings in his pockets. Nov get that
chair" she ordered. and waited, stand
ing until she had been obeyed. That's
it-there! Sit down"
Resting herself against the side Of
the desk, the revolver held negligently,
the speaker favored Lanyard with a
second inspection, at her leisure, the
/ hardness of her eyes modified, and that
anger which primarily had marked her

chose to pursue her catechism.

and write our own lines. I'll ask you

"Acting?" Lanyard repeated, in

ally believed you afraid OF me. But
you're neither that nor a common

duty Of that party to fool EN-, and it

is to Lincoln that is credited that neat

The democratic party through its

reached the limit in the foollag game
and next November the vast majority
OF the people will show that they are
not to be fooled all the time.

PROGRESS IN ROAD BUILDING.

A Tonasket man recently told rep
lresentative of the Wenatchee World
that Notwithstanding the high taxes
for road purposes that nothing was
being accomplished. From state
standpoint, he was wrong. From a
north central Washington standpoint
he was right. Real progress is being
made over the state generally but that
section comprising north central
Washington, of which Okanogan county
is a part, has not yet received the at.
tention which it deserves.
Under the levy of one and one-hali
mills for state road purposes, there is
a total of approximately $2,250,000
available every two years for state
road work. With this amount of money

opportunity to see a number of towns
in Eastern Washington, some of which
We have not visited for twenty years
and from surface indications the peo-
pie Of Oroville have every reason to be
we'll satisfied with present conditions
and the prospects for the future. There
were little or no signs of activity or
improvement in most Of the places
visited. Streets were unimproved, or
what improvements were made in for
mer years looked very much neglected
and the towns themselves looked to be
running down at the heel. II the boast
ed prosperity exists in this state it Is
confined to other localities than those
through which We passed. Oroville has
a cleaner, brighter, more prosperous
and progressive appearance than
towns Of much larger population, and
the future holds out promises that dc
not exist elsewhere. This is the log

Bridgeport, Oct. 3.-One man was killed and another escaped a like fate by narrow margin here today in a peculiar accident on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. The dead man was Edward Green, of Long Hill, a driver of a dump cart
 The accident happened at a grade crossing. The engine of a passenger train bound into this city from New ton struck the cart as it was crossing the tracks, killed Green and his team and tossed the shattered car into an automatic switch. The contact threw the switch and the engine took a spur track, mounted the viaduct, crashed into a freight car loaded with cement and then breaking away from it's train toppled over the side of the via duct to the street below.
 Down in the street a heavy two horse truck was passing. The driver looked up as he heard the collision, saw the engine toppling and pulling his horses quickly to the sidewalk, jumped Almost immediately after wards the engine fell on the truck crushing it to splinters.
 The engineer, Robert Burns, and the fireman, H. E. Hennessey, jumped, escaping with bruises. The coaches of the passenger train remained on the tracks and none of the passengers so far as could be learned suffered more than a shaking up.

DEMOCRATS AROUSED
State Central Committee Accuses Fisk Rubber Go. of Violating Spirit of Corrupt Practices Act.
Especial to the Herald.)

New Haven, Oct. 3.-The demo- cratic state central committee issued today a protest against the alleged action of the Fisk Rubber company of Chicopee, Mass, in soliciting funds for the republican party among it's employees. The information that this was done is furnished by Attorney P. B. O'Sullivan, secretary of the commit tee.
 ''This is an out and out violation of the spirit, if not the letter of the Connecticut Corrupt Practices Act" declared Attorney O'Sullivan today. We think the people of Connecticut ought to know how the Fisk Rubber company is attempting to use it's business organization as a political machine. Perhaps the Fisk peoplo sell their products so exclusively to republicans that they scorn to trade with anyone affiliated with the other side"
 object is written on the concerns sta tionary and is said to have been signed by F. H. Broadwell, vice presi- dent. It urges the employees of the concern to contribute $1O each to- ward the republican campaign and receive a nice engraved certificate as a reward
