I've done the work you've hired me
to do, and here's my little bill for the

"Orcsts." murmured william;
Sounds like dago or Spanish"

a thousand years, and you couldn't
tell what was in it,"
They came into Venice at sunset.
For once william was pereft OF
speech. The brooding silence OF this
magic city in the sea laid hold or
him.
Beautiful, beautiful" murmured
the girl at mis- side. And l have
lived to see it,"
Several times on the way to the
hotel she grasped his arm to call his
attention (as If that were necessary
to some enchanting marble, the towers
rosal in the food of sunset, the base
of it dark and gloomy like Alpine
ice. Each time she touched him he
trembled Sometimes he found it
very hard to be so close to her.

we must be out in the sunshine
every minute. I'm going to love 1t.

They were Keen to ride around the
canals that night: and william en-
gagged gondolier Immediately after
dinner. After they had listened to
the barge concerts land the inevita-
BILE toreador song). they let the man
at the sweep go whittier &c ::s;ec.
He slid into the Giudecca and wound
in and out among the destroyers, the
liners, sloops. yachts and lighters.
They were gliding under the stern
of handsome seagong yacht, white
as frost in this incompatible moon
light.
William slowly spelled out the
name.
"E-l-s-a; Elsa, New York. Well.
here's a boat all the way from the
old burg"
A strange thing happened. The girl
gave little cry and huddled down
close to the black cushions of the
gondola.

liam, bending toward her in alarm.
II Nothing" she
stammered. Il feel little dizzy.
Would you mind if returned to the
hotel? You see, we were half day
on that crowded train. and perhaps
I'm overdone."
Sure Wen go back"
He looked at the vanishing stern of
the yacht. then down at the girl
again. They entered a circle of light.
and he saw that her hands were
clasped convulsively. 1t was. he sur
missed something about the name
Elsa. And who was Elsa? sister"
A bit OF the old cynicism crept into
his mind. 1t might be that she had
sister named Elsa, sister who
had not turned out right AS he
conned this thought over it assumed
logical proportions far more agree
able than any he had previously i'm
agined. Here was something that
had sense to it. What was more rea-
sonable than that she should flee
from the horror and misery of such
tragedy and wrap herself up in
mystery?
1t was plainly apparent that the
name of the yacht had disturbed
Ruth. and it was equally clear that
she had told a lie about it,

count" she protested as the gon-
dola nosed up to the hotels marble

"IlI take care OF william" he
laughed. There won't be anybody

less they can walk on water"

William succeeded in retrieving his

me not to go out alone nights for

Good night.
Noiselessly the gondola slipped back
among the painted piles into free
water. and presently its lantern went
bobbiug up the Grand canal The
girl watched the hickering yellow
light until a steamboat cut across it.
Then she went inside.
William lighted a cigar and slumpea
down against the cushions.

dolier touching his hat.
Anywhere for an hour; the Grand

William did not care where the
gondolier carried him. He wanted

HUNT HERE FOR
AN AUTOMOBILE
The Big Car That Knocked Ford
Into Two Fort Madison Women
Being Sought For
by Police.

Referring to a recent accident
there, the Fort Madison Democrat
says:
A thorough search OF every garage
in Keokuk Friday, and an inquiry
among all motorists made by CHIEF
of Police Engstrom and Patrolman
Young of this city, failed to give the
police any further clews as to the
identity of the driver of the "Mys-
terry Car" which figured in an auto
mobile accident in which Mrs. j. j.
Gent and Miss Jennie Low were badly
shakep up recently.
The Investigation was made when
1t was learned that in all prob
ability the driver responsible for the
crash was resident of Keokuk. Pro
ceding along the street at an unlawful
rate of speed the Mystery Car
crashed into Ford driven by local
man, and pushed it onto the sidewalk
where it struck Mrs. Gent and Miss
Low. No blame In the accident has
been attached to the local motorist.
The missing car, said by spectators
to be a brown American underslung
automobile, failed to stop after the
accident and made its way from this
city at high rate of speed following
the crash. 1t was hoped by the Off
|cers to bring the motorist to Justice
