ITO my surprise it helped me right

nounced the mine-owner curtly, and
he turned on his heel
The rifle lay where Sheba had
dropped it when she ran to gather
her stricken lover into her arms.
Macdonald picked it up and strobe
over the brow of the hill without a
backward look. He was too proud
to stay and watch them. It was i'm
possible to escape him in the deep
snow that filled the hill trails, and
he was convinced they would at
tempt nothing of the kind.
The Scotsman felt for the first
time in his life old and spent. I'm
der tremendous difficulty he had
mushed for two days and had at last
run his men down. The lust of ven
geance had sat on his shoulders
every mile of the way and had driven
him feverishly forward. But the salt
that had lent a SAVIOR to his passion
was gone. Even though he won, he
lost. For Sheba had gone Sver to
the enemy.
With the fierce willfulness of his
temperament he tried to tread un-
der foot his doubts about the guilt
of Holt and Elliot. Success had made
him arrogant and he was not a
good loser. He hated the man who
had robbed him of Sheba, but he
could not escape respecting him. Ell
liot had fought until he had been
hammered down into unconscious
ness and he had crawled to his feet
and stood erect with the smile of
the unconquered on his lips. Was
this the sort of man to murder in
cold blood a kindly old gentleman
who had never harmed him?
The only answer Macdonald found
was that Milton had taken nim and
his partner by surprise. They had
been driven to shoot the cashier to
cover up their crime. Perhaps Holt
or another had fired the actual shots,
but Elliot was none the less guilty.
The heart of the Scotsman was Bit
ter within him. He intended to see
that his enemies paid to the last
ounce. He would hurry them to the
gallows if money and influence could
do it..
None the less, his doubts per-
sisted. If they had planned the
bank robbery, why did they wait so
long to buy supplies for their es-
cape? Why had they not taken the
river instead of the hill trail? The
story that his enemies told hung to-
gether. It had the ring of truth.
The facts supported it.

N OF YOUTH AND ROMANCE

opened her handbag and drew forth
couple of magazines.
AS she did this, the letter she had
received the night before caught her
eye. She had laid it away in her
Dag with the consciousness that she
would want to read it again some
time. That time had come now
She needed the courage it might
give hers She was uncomfortably
place near which she had spent all
her life.
Il may some time marry and go
back to Lake Forest to live" she
unused. Meanwhile 1 must try to
learn to be content elsewhere"
She had been to New York twice
with her father-once when she was
a child of twelve, soon after her
mcther's death; the other time
when she was sixteen. Her father
had been too busy to stay away
from home long, or to make many
social visits. He had taken his
daughter with him to the Waldorf
and had dined or lunched several
times with the Livingstones. Gym
thia recalled these occasions now,
trying to recollect just what her
aunt and cousin had been like. She
remembered that Dora was pretty
and vivacious, and that her Aunt
Amanda - Mrs. Livingstone - was
stately and rather conventional, yet
kindly.
She, had now wondered for the
twentieth time If she was doing right
in making her home with these rela-
tfves. 1t might not be easy to ad-
just oneself to their ways. Well, she
would not be burden upon them,
for she had a sufficient income from
her fathers estate to dress herself
well and to supply her various
needs. But she was occupying a
room in her uncle's house. Would
she be in the way when the first
novelty of her arrival had worn
off?
She realized with relief that she
had not proposed this arrangement.
II had been her uncle's idea. Her
lawyer, Mr.. Blake, had insisted that
her father would have wished her
to agree to it, That and her lone
Illness had moved her to do so. At
any rate, the letter she had received
last night had convinced her that
her cousin joyfully anticipated her
arrival
A Nice Letter
She reread the letter, now slowly

She's a dearn' Cynthia decided,
her eyes mCist and her lips curved
by q tender smile as she gaZed on
the landscape beyond the car win
dows.
Everything was bathed in the
midwinter sunlight sunlight that
was cold, yet brilliant. After all,
the girl mused, she was young, and
all life lay before her.
The Spirit of Adventure
A spirit of adventure stirred with
new experiences in her life; she was
goins to meet new people; perhaps,
in spite of her misgivings. she would
not he as homesick as she had fear
cd.
Her father had always spoke of
New York with admiration. His
wife had been a New York girl.
That may have accounted for his
sentiments. His child, remember
ing this, felt a growing certainty
that she might be happy in the great
city toward which she was travel
ing.
She looked back at her loneliness
OF yesterday and last evening. What
had wrought this change in her
state of mind? 1t must have been
the rereading of Dora Livingstone's
letter. Cynthia had slept better
last night for having received this
message. She was glad she had
stopped to ask the hotel clerk If
there was any mail for her.
Suddenly she remembered how, in
crossing the lobby, she had dropped
the letter and a young man had
sprung forward and picked it up for
her. She did not see where he
came from. 1t was as if he had
started up from the floor right in
front of her. He had very blue

Fashions of To-Day BY May Manton

This is a design that you can
utilize for a variety of materials
and for quite different purposes.
Here, it is made of a striped
challis with trimming of silk to
be a simple afternoon gown. If
you omit TIE revers and make it
of a simplctwashable material,
you will have a serviceable
morning dress. You have
choice of two kinds of sleeves
but the three-quarter bell sleeves
are very fashionable this season
and especially pretty for after
noon dresses. The knitting bag
is of especial interest, for it really
is bag and apron in one. AS
you see it here, the apron is
turned down into the bag, but
when the knitting or sewing is
in progress, a belt is passed
around the waist and a protec-
tive apron provided. In Jam
uary all sorts of pretty cotton
goods will be shown and this
dress would be charming made
up in gingham or in any similar
material.
For the medium size will be
needed, 7 yards of material 27
inches wide, S yards SO, AZ
yards "a, with N yards of
any width for the trimming.
The skirt is 2 yards and a inches
in width at the lower edge.
The pattern No. o634 is cut
in sizes from SO to 40 inches bust
measure. 1t will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion De-
partment of this paper, on re-
ceipt of fifteen cents.

CHAPTER w

There are few more dreary ex-
periences than that of awakening
early in a large hotel, taking ones
breakfast alone and boarding a train
Tor place where one has few ac-
quaintances.
Such thoughts as these were up
permost in Cynthia Longs mind as
she left Chicago and it's familiar
envlrons behind her on the morn
ing after her parting from her fa-
ther's old friend and lawyer.
But she was determined to make
herself as comfortable as possible
in the Pullman in which she had
her seat. So after taking off her
hat and coat, adjusting a footstool
under her feet and settling herself
back in a cushioned corner, she
