He shook his head. mo chance
Diane. I'm hard hit. She's the only
girl ever met that suited me. Every
thing she does is right. Every move
she makes is wonderful"
The eyes with which she looked at
him were softer, as those of women
are wont to be for the true romance
"You poor boy" she murmured, and
let her hand for moment rest on his.
Meaning that I lose?" he asked
quickly.
II think you do. I'm not sure"
Elliot leaned forward impulsively.
"Be good sport, Diane. Let me have
my chance, too. Why do you make
it easy for Macdonald and hard for
me? Isn't it because the glamor of his
millions blinds you?"
''He's big, splendid man, but I
don't like him any the less because
he has the power to make life easy
and comfortable for Sheba," she de-
Tended sturdily.
"Yet you turned down Arthur West,
the best catch In your set, to marry
Peter, who was the worst" he re-
minded her. "Have you ever been
sorry for it?"
She required to the previous ques-
ton. "Sheba knows more about Mr..
Macdonald than you think. And about
how he got her fathers claim, for in
stance-she has heard all that"
"You told her?'
"No. Colby Macdonald told her. He
said he practically robbed her father,
and he gave her check for nearly two
hundred thousand to cover the clean
up from the claim and interest"
"Bully for him." On the heel Of
this he flung a question at her. did
Macdonald ask her to marry him the
night Of the dinner?"
A flash of whimsical amusement lit
her dainty face. "You'd better ask
him that. Here he comes now"
They were coming down the walk
together, Macdonald and Sheba. The
young woman was absorbed In his talk,
and she did not know that her cousin
and Elliot were on the porch until
she was close upon them. But at sight
Of the young man her eyes became
warm and kind. .r. ....
"I'm sorry was out yesterday when
you called" she told him.
Sand you were out again today. My
luck isn't very good, is it?"
He laughed pleasantly, but his heart
was bitter. He believed Macdonald
had won.
"We've had such a good walk" She
ba went on quickly. II wish you could
have heard Mr.. Macdonald telling me
how he had a chance to save small
Eskimo tribe during hard winter. He
carried food five hundred miles to

"Mr. Macdonald has had a lot Of

Gordon quietly.

500 Reward. 500

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
UP the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing it's work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers Of Halls Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
Of testimonials.

something of triumph, something Of
scornful insolence. Ifsthis young fel.
low wanted war, he did not need tc
wait long for it.
"Time enough for that, man. Miss
O'Neill and 1 have the whole Arctic
winter before us for stories"
The muscles in the lean jaws Of Cor
don Elliot stood out like steel ropes,
He turned to Sheba. "Am I to con-
graduate Mr.. Macdonald?"
The color in her cheeks grew warm

II think it is that am to be congrat-
ulated Mr.. Elliot"
Diane took her cousin in her arms.
"My dear, I wish you all the happi-
ness in the world" she said softly.
The Irish girl fled into the house
as soon as she could, but not before
making an announcement.
"We're to be married soon, very qui-
city. If you are still at Kusiak we
want you to be one of the few friends
present, Mr.. Elliot"
Macdonald backed her invitation
with d cool, cynical smile. Miss
O'Neill speaks for us both, of course,

The defeated man bowed. THANKS
very much. The chances are that I'll
be through my business before then"
AS soon as his fiancee had gone into
the house, the Scotsman left. Gordon
sat down in a porch chair and stared
straight in front o. him. The sudden
ness of the news had brought his world
tumbling about his ears. He felt that
such marriage would be an outrage
against Sheba's innocence.
Though she was sorry for him, Diane
did not think Il best t. say SO yet.

The Law Got Bill
Found in Mans Sock

A. H. Neptune claims he did not
steal the IS bill which was discovered
in his sock by Policeman eoggess two
nights ago. At hearing before JUS
tee Conway yesterday at three, a
great deal of argument arose as to the
real facts in the case. Neptune states
he was in the Tavern restaurant with
a man named Joseph Effort and that
Effort placed the bill on the table
for settlement of the lunch. Effort
would not accuse Neptune Of stealing
the bill at the hearing yesterday but
merely stated that it was gone and he
wanted to know where. Some one in
the restaurant claimed to have seen
Neptune put the bill in his sock and
as it was found there, Justice Coma

Effort would not claim the bill, it was
