CHAPTER XVIII.

Saturday came, perfect day that
filed the little valley to the brim with
golden sunshine. Alix, driving alone
to the mountain cabin, stared in the
morning freshness at the blue over
head and said aloud, "Oh, what day
Of gold!",
The dog, sitting beside her on the
front seat, tapped his tail in answer
to her voice. and she laughed at him.
But the laugh was quickly followed
by sharp sigh.
Saturday" she unused, land Mar
tin expects Cherry to go with him on
Monday! Expects her to go back with
him to life of misery for her, exist
ence with a man she hates!, oh, Cher
ry-my little sister there can be no
happiness for you there! And Peter !!
Peter is left behind to me, who cam
not comfort him or still the ache that
is tearing his heart My two loved
ones, and what can do TO help them !"
She had come up to the cabin to do
the usual last little daily fusSing
among the ducks and chickens and to
bring Peter if Peter had not gone into
town, back with her to Cherry's house.
They had all dined in the old Strick-
land house the night before, and be-
cause of sudden rainfall had decided
to spend the night there, too. The
Chinese boy who had been helping the
sisters with their housekeeping had
been persuaded to cook the dinner and
get breakfast, and the evening about
the old fireplace had been almost too
poignantly sweet.
But suddenly, at about ten o'clock.
Peter had surprised them all by get
ting to his feet. He was going up to
the cabin, he said-must go, in fact.
He would rather walk, please, he told
Alix, when she offered to drive him
up in the car. Bewildered and little
apprehensive, she let him CO. To Cher
ry, who seemed to feel suddenly sad
and uneasy, AliX laughed about it, but
she was secretly worried herself, and
Immediately after breakfast the next
morning decided to run up to the cabin
In the car ana assure nerSel1 tnat
everything was right there.
Cherry, who had not slept and who
was pale, had come out to the car,
her distracted manner increasing Alix's
sense that something was gravely
amiss. She started on her trip with
a heavy heart, but the half-hour's run
sOotlTed her in spite of herself, and
now she reached the cabin in a much
more cheerful mood.
Peter was nowhere about, and as
she plunged into the work of house

giving the matter a conscious thought
that he had gone to the city.
"Mis' Peter not go train," Kow an.
nounced presently.
All Alix's vague suspicious

"Not go train?" she asked with a
premonitory pang.

eating affairs disorganized.

mo eat" the boy answered. He
indicated the direction of the creek
and after while Alix, with an icy
heart, went to the bridge and the pool
where Peter had first found Cherry
only few weeks ago.
He was standing, staring vaguely at
the low and lispiRg stream, and Alix
felt great pang of pity when she
saw him. He came to her smiling,
but as Cherry had smiled, with a wan
and CHASTITY face.

II Think am a little upset." he
answered They walked back to the
house together Alix ordered him to
take hot BATH and made him drink
some coffee, when, refreshed and
grateful he came out to the porch
half an hour later. They shared the
little meal that was her luncheon and
his breakfast.
He followed her to the car and got

said, briefly, when they were going
down the long grade.
Allx did not answer Immediately and
he thought that she had not heard.

valley, stopped at the postoffice, and
still in silence began the climb toward
the old house. The roads were all
narrow here, but she could have fol-

LOST JEWEL FAKE
Farmer Bites on Old Fake About
Lost Diamond Ring.

A short time ago car stopped in
front of one Of the farmhouses west
of town. The occupants professed to
have stopped to mend punctured
tire and after working about the ma
chine for a time sufficient to have
fixed an ordinary puncture, one of
the party went to the house and told
very plausible story about the
"busted" tire and wound up his tale
by saying that one of their number
had dropped diamond ring while
working around the. car. The strang-
er asked for the loan of lantern
with which to look for the alleged
lost gem. Not only did the farmer
loan them lantern, but he and
other members of the family went
to the road and assisted in the search.
After a thorough search, one of the
men stated that as the party was in
hurry he would leave the farmer
his address and if the precious stone
was found to notify him and the
finder would be rewarded with 500.
The farmer and his family searched
the spot diligently, for some time the
next morning, but no stone was
found and they had given up hopes
of ever hearing any more about it.,
when few weeks later a man dress
ed like tramp came along, stopped
at the place and showed diamond,
or rather a "phoney', stating that
he had found it in the road in front
Of the house. He said that he was
hard up and that he was going to
change it into money at the first
opportunity. Negotiations began inn
mediately, which soon resulted in
the innocent farmer giving the
tramp $50 for the stone. The suppos-
ed loser of the diamond was notified
at the address given but no response
to the letter was received and when
an Investigation was made it devel-
oped that the stone was one of those
25c diamonds that you see advertis-
ed.-New Hampton Gazette.
