A Reprieve,

- HeprleVe.
Smiths blood ran cold and there wal
a %Eomentary attack of shocked con-
SternatiOn, comparable to nothing that
any past experience had to offer. But
there was NJ time to waste in curious
speculations as to the why and where
fores. Present safety was the prime
consideration. With Josiah Richland-
er and his daughter in Brewster, and
guests under the same roof with him,
discovery, identification. disgrace were
knocking at the door. He could har-
Dor no doubt as to what Josiah Rich
lander would do if discovery came. For
so long a time as should be consumed
in t~elegraphing between Brewster and
Lawrenceville, Smith might venture to
call himself a free man. But that was
the limit.
One minute later he had hailed 4.
passing autocab at the hotel entrance.
and the four miles between the city
and Colonel Baldwin's ranch had been
tossed to the rear before he remem-
bered that he had expressly declined
q dinner invitation for that same eve
ming at Hillcrest, pleading business to
Mrs. Baldwin in person when she had
called at the office with her daughter.
Happily, the small social offense
went unremarked. OF at least unre-
buked. Smith found his welcome at
the ranch that of a man who has the
privilege of dropping in unannounced.
The colonel vas loosely hospitable, as
he always was Mrs. Baldwin was gra-
ciously lenient-was good enough, in
deed, to thank the eleventh-hour guest
for reconsidering at the last moment;
and Corona
Notwithstanding all that had come
to pass Notwithstanding, also, that his
footing in the Baldwin household had
come to be that of a family friend,
Smith could V be quite sure of the
h~eWitchingly Winsome young woman
who called her father "colonel-daddy."
Her pose, if it were a pose, was the at.
titude of the entirely unspoiled child OF
nature and the wide horizons. When
he was with her she made him think
of all the words expressive of trans.
narency and absolute and utter uncon.
cealment. Yet there were moments
when he fancied he could get passing
glimpses of a subtler personality at the

Concrete Is Preferable.

Steel is going up, and concrete, as a
result is coming into wider use. Rail
way bridges, for example, which used
always to be of steel, are now often Of
concrete. A beautiful concrete rail
way bridge is being built across the
James river at Richmond, Va, and 1.
is much prettier than q steel bridge.
For like reasons, concrete is replac-
ing wood in mining structural works
where it has the great advantage of
being waterproof.
