Morgan, Woeful Of Face, but

face he entered the kitchen to con-
front Bridget.
"Young chief and young squaw-
they kiss each other in the mill and
they get married bimeby, mebbyso,' ~
he announced. The rolling pin dropped
from the big Irish woman's houry
hands and she held them aloft ecftati-
cally.
..Glory be. 'Tis the fondest wish Of
me heart" she cried. and careless
Of her whitened fingers seized the
astonished Rainface about his shoul-
ders and broke into q wild Irish Jig
as she dragged him around the room.
indignantly breaking away from her
he backed to the doorway from which
he viewed her with great disgust.
sYou damn fool woman" he an
nounced. The next instant he was
speeding up the trail for dear life with
q frying pan Gathering at his heels.

hswsver. he swung sharply at right
angles, and cOncealing his rig In
small ravine choked with powders and
small trees, sat down to await the
coming of his confederate. Some If
teen minutes later Morgan appeared
upon the scene, bringing with him q
bundle which he deposited upon the
ground, then addressed the other.

was followed by the eyes Of the Spider.
Returning to the cabin Morgan ap-
preached the living room door. Rain
face was upon the porch. putting the
finishing touches to the door upon
which he had been working the day
before. As finished, the vestibule was
about nve feet square. with glazed
windows on two sides and the storm
door on the third. Morgan, rs he en-
tered through It, observed that one
entering or leaving the vestibule would
not be visible from the living room
until he was well In front Of the living
room door. Passing into the house he
erected Ethel and Davis cheerily, and
the three sat down to breakfast. Fin
ishing this, Morgan turned to the
other man.
"Suppose We have another look At
those papers, Davis. would like to
study them q bit" With . nod of
assent John arose and took the articles
from . desk and handed them to the
other man, who still stpping his coffee
read them over slowly. Having Atis-
ned himself a. to certain points, he
arose.
II am going to see II can identify
q certain point" he announced as he
took down pair of field glasses from
the wall. Without further explanation
he went outside, calling the attention
Of Rainface to certain things still re-
maining to be done to the vestibule,
and the Indian picking up his tools,
resumed his work. Picking up a piece
Of wood that had been discarded by
Rainface, Morgan drew his knife and
carelessly began to whittle 1t, his head
bent and to all appearances deep in
thought.
We will now return to the Spider.
No soon had Morgan disappeared
than Bellas opening the bundle which
his confederate had dropped upon the
ground beside him, drew forth lnriat.
