ception to the rule that even numbers
are not lucky is the common belief
that the finding of a four-leaved clov-

Seven is one of the luckiest of num-

Woman Suffrage.

1t was in the early days Of the ad-

them was most excellent charwoman

spoke in eloquent terms. "Here you

Selfridge went on his errand with

hotel.
In Gordon's pocket there was note
to Macdonald explaining that he had
nothing to do with the coming of Me-
teetse. He had expected to send it by
the hotel porter that evening. but the
curt order to leave town filed him
with chill anger. The dictator Of
affairs at Kusiak might think what he
pleased for all the explanation he
would get from him.
'Tell your master don't take or

CHAPTER XIII.

Gordon Buys Revolver.
Selfridge was not eager to meet his
chief, but he knew he must report at
once. He stopped at his house only
long enough to get into fresh clothes
and from there walked down to the
office.
1t had been the intention of Mac
donald to go direct from Sheba to his
office, but the explosion brought about
by Meteetse had sent him out into the
hills for long tramp. He was In
stress of furious emotion, and until
he had worked off the edge Of it by
hard mushing, the cramped civiliza-
ton of the town stified him.
Hours later he strobe into the office
of the company. Wally lay asleep in
swivel chair, his fat body sagging
and his head fallen sideways in such q
way as to emphasize the plump folds
of his double chin. His eyes opened

in small panic, he jumped to his

"What doing?" demanded the Scots
man harshly.
In a hurried attempt to divert the
anger of Macdonald, his assistant
made a mistake. "Say, Mac! Who
do you think came up on the boat

He stopped. The big man was glar

Mrs. Paget lost her temper complete

Don't forget that. You can't do it.
You're not that kind Of a man. 1t
isn't in you to go undertaking in the
past Of the man Sheba is going to
marry"
Elliot rose and looked across at the
| blue-ribbed mountains. His square
jaw was set when he turned it back
toward Diane.
"She isn't going to marry him If
can help it," he said quietly.
He walked out Of the gate and down
the walk toward his hotel.
A message was waiting for him there
from his chief in Seattle. 1t called him
down the river on business.

No crocuses In November.

It should be consolation to women
who have passed thirty to remember
that the most beautiful work Of human
hands-the Venus de Milo-is the
statue Of mature woman, comments
a writer. ALI the VeRuses, In fact, are
represented as mothers. There is not
q young girl in the Tot. Among the
Greek statues only Psyche could quail
ify as a Broadway beauty, and even
Psyche might appeal little plump
and mature to the admirers Of the hu-
man reedbird.
OF course, every woman should fight
ugliness to her last hour. She need
not lose her beauty at any age. But
one does not expect b pick snowdrops

GenevIeve Mallory Takes a Hand.
Inside Of an hour the news of the
engagement of Macdonald was all over

her a little stab. The voice of Gene

that she had been able to scrape up
for the campaign outfit. Moreover, she
liked him.
Mrs. Mallory sat down in the hall

about one crossed knee. She knew
that If Sheba O'Neill had not come on
the scene, Macdonald would have
asked her to marry him. He had been
moving slowly toward her for months
