element, greed, appetite were rife In

striking exception to the usual run
OF strangers he had been In the habit

while he was there he saw Miss Long
streth and Ruth ride up to the door.
They carried a basket. Evidently
they had heard OF Mrs. Laramie's
trouble. Duane felt strangely glad,
but he went into an adjoining room
rather than meet them.

The little room was not very light,
there being only one window and the
doors, but Duane could see plainly
enough. Mrs. Laramie lay. hollow

she had evidently been n woman Of
some comellness. The ravages OF
trouble and grief were there to read
In her worn face; It had not, however,

had characterized her husbands.
Duane wondered, considering that
Longstreth had ruined Laramie. how
Mrs. Laramie was going to regard the
daughter Of an enemy.

girl?" queried the woman, with her
bright. black eyes fixed on her visitor.
"Yes," replied Miss Longstreth,
simply. This is my cousin, Ruth
Herbert. We've come to nurse you,

any way you'll let u.s."
There was a long silence.
well, you look n little like Long
streth," finally said Mrs. Laramie,
but you're not at all like him. You
must take after your mother. Miss
Longstreth, I don't know II I can-if

Your father ruined my husband"
"Yes, / know" replied the girl sad

wondered, had q man of his mind ever
lived so long and gone so far among

that Longstreth had guided him, up

Britain is under martial law today
with two companies of state guards
men patroling the streets, following
nine simultaneous fires in the city last
night. Two persons have been ar
rested and are being held under sus-
picion as having started the fires. Re-
pairs are being rushed to the electric
fire alarm systems of the city, which
broke down when people rushed to
them to turn in the alarms for the
fires, which quickly lit up the sky for
miles. All the local fire departments
are at work today clearing away
the, smouldering fire which threatens
to break out again.

We're started by some crank, who
placed bombs inside the buildings,

at about $4,000.
