in capturing 900 yards Of trenches in
the western outskirts, biting deep in

dating their gains.

She had met a summer boarder at
the lake resort hotel, and he had daz-
zled her. To Nellie, for the time be-
ing at least, Burlingame was the
pink of perfection among men. He
fiattered her and paid her expensive
attention. John began looking him
up. He did not tell Nellie all he had
learned. He hoped to be able to ban
ish Burlingame without making dis
closures that would humiliate her.
It had been Of no avail Her father
was old, had always let his children
grow up in their own way. She had
no mother, and her married sister
was engrossed in bringing up her
own family. John felt called upon to
act. He had done so. A covert
threat of exposure had sent the per-
sistent Burlingame adrift, but he had
aroused a perverse and stubborn
spirit in Nellie that caused him an
Xety.
Burlingame did not venture near
the Otley home during the next
week. Nellie pouted and moped like
a peevish, spoiled child. She did not
speak to John when he appeared
about the place, although he sat at
the same table at dinner time, being
engaged in some work for Mr.. Otley.
Every evening John watched the Of
ley home. Nellie apparently saw no
visitors, and did not go any. place
where she was likely to meet Bur-
ingame.
One afternoon, however, an Incl
dent transpired that aroused the at
tention Of John. He saw Nellie meet
the postman at the gate, receive a
letter, thrust it hastily into her
pocket and hurry to a part of the
house lot where the shrubbery was
thickest. John was resting beyond
the hedge where he could view her
plainly. Nellie read the letter eager

rapidly read the miSstVe and then, as
Nellie reappeared from the house,
dropped the letter and fastened to
covert.
Nellie recovered the letter with
glad smile and once more disap-
peared. Pacing up and down beyond
the hedge, John wore grave, per-
picked look upon his face.
The letter, as he had suspected2
was from Burlingame. Others had
passed between that individual and
Nellie and this one was the result OF
the secret correspondence. Bur-
lingame wrote that the only course
open was an elopement. At a certain
hour, near a certain place, an auto%
mobile would be waiting for Nellie
the next evening. It would speed
with-her to the city and land her at
a hotel, where Burlingame would be
awaiting her. A hasty marriage, a
brief honeymoon and they would re-
turn home ito be forgiven"

1t was in his power through COM
plete exposure of BurIngame to pre-
vent the eIopement; but he feared a
woman's willful temper. No. he
would unmask the villain in a way
that would drive Nellie forever from
the man whose false pretensions had
dazzled her.
Nellie arrived at the rendezvous, in
lonely country lane, and the muf-
fled-up chauffeur simply nodded as if
to indicate that he had explicit or
ders. There was a rapid spin. An
hour later the machine entered a
dark street in the great city. The
chauffeur hurried Nellie into dimly

ence of a poorly dressed woman. The

Wisconsin, Is showing results. In
area the state Is half dry now, ac-
cording to statistics gathered by the
Industrial commissioner. The cities
in the state show a decided tendency
to be wet while the smaller places
are being won by the drys. A total
revenue of $1,761,OOO is collected
each year from, the 5000 saloons in
the state; 2,371 of that number be-
ing In Milwaukee. The latest statis-
tics now show that the drys have a
third of the total state vote which
is decided increase. In fact, the
dry campaign. which is now under
going preliminary battle In various
legislative committees has reached
such stage that the brewers of the
