that horse again, fence-rider."
 There was the sound of movement behind the rock; in a moment Grace Kerr rode out from her concealment, not more than four rods beyond the place where his horse lay.
 She rode out boldly and indifferentlv before his eyes, turned and looked back at him, her face white as an eve ming primrose in the dusk, as if to tell him that she knew she was safe, even within the distance of his arm, much, as she despised his calling and his kind. Lambert put his gun back in it's sheath, and she rode on, disap- bearing again from his sight around the rock where the blasted valley of tones branched upon its arid way He took the saddle from his dead horse much whether he ever found it again his heart so heavy that it seemed to bow him to the ground
 So at last he knew her for what Vesta Philbrook had told him she was bad to the core of her heart Kind ness could not regenerate her, love could not purge away the vicious strain of blood When she sent her
 
 brain, she placed herself beyond any dissolution that even his soft heart could yield
 Lambert was loading cattle nearly a week later when the sheriff rode ur and hailed him. He had followed Kerr, he said, far beyond his jurisdic- tion, pushing him a hard race through the hills, but the willy cattleman had evaded him in the end.
 Lambert was a busy man for sev- eral weeks after his last race with the will-o'the-wisp, travelling be- tween Glendora and Chicago, dispcs- ing of the Philbrook herd. On this day he was jolting alone with the last of the cattle that were of marketabk condition and age, twenty cars of them, glad hat the wind-up was in sight.
 Already he had sold more than $80,0oo worth of cattle for vesta, and carried home to her the drafts This time he was to take back the money as they would have the cash to buy out Walleye, the sheepman, who wa: making failure of the business and | was anxious to quit.
 He rolled cigarette and fell abount himself abstractedly for match, in his pocket where Grace Kerr's little handkerchief still lay with no explanation or defense for it: presence contrived or attempted; 1T that pocket, where his thumb en

Old dog Spot was trotting down the road from the mill pond carrying bundle of somebody's clothes in his mouth. When he heard frantic shouts rom the water, where Johnnie Green and his friends were swimming, he auickened his pace.
 One of the swimmers was known as Red" And 1t was favorite trick of his to tie hard knots in other boys garments while the owners of them were in the pond. Usually he wet the knots, because wetting them made them harder to unite.

Moroccan Natives Must Celebrate Their
 Feasts Before Taking Action.
 Tangier, Aug. 12.-Warlike opera tions against the Spanish forces in Morocco by the natives of the Riff sec tion of that country will not be under taken before next Tuesday at least, it is declared by natives here. Prepara- tions are being made for the celebra- ton on August 16 of the annual fete in honor of Abd-el-Kader, the Moorish leader who led tribesmen in Algiers and southern Morocco in their fight against the conquest of their country by France.
 The male Arab population of Moroc- co is considerably diminished, as many are volunteering for service with the Riff tribesmen. The only persons com ing to the markets are women.

The Way Modge Couched Her Re-
 quest of Grace Draper.

The Way Modge Couched Her Re-
 quest of Grace Draper.
 My dear Miss Draper.
 Back in my room at Mrs. Ticer's with Dicky purposely paying such asiduous attention to his mother and Junior that I feared no interruption from my doughty n1otner-in-law, I sat before an improvised desk, cudgel- ling nly brain for fitting words with which to clothe my request to her that she pose again for Dicky's illus trations.
 I stared at the formal salutation with eyes that. looked backward down a vista of trouble and tragedy, of which Grace Draper had been the storm center, and wondered to what \ must look forward-aIittle premon- ttory shiver, swept me. Of my own volition. I was bringing her into my life again. convinced that by so doing was saving Dicky from threatened professional ruin, but I could not es- cape the fear that some way, some how, she would bring ruth to me and mine again
 But having once set my feet upon this thorny path could not go back. So with a desperation born of the inn potence I felt, dipped my pen afresh in the ink and rapidly wrote:--- t'h you remember our conversation at the house in Hempstead.- you will know that this letter is written in all friendliness and sincerity. MT. Gra- ham has been in ignorance of your whereabouts and of our interview un til this morning, when l discovered <hnt ha o1o vSa rfi i,t1l lo " some illustrations he is to make for a novel. He had no idea that he could secure you, simply expressing the wish that you were available. I at once informed him of our inter view, and expressed the, belief that you might be willing to work with him again. At his request I am writ ing you to ascertain whether or not you would be wiIlinSto undertake the work.
 Of course your whereabouts would have to be kept a secret from the people of whom you spoke in our in- terview. and we think we have evolv- ed a plan which will co mbine secrecy and safety with convenience. If you can manage to get train for Green port unobserved, take the ferry at that point for Shelter Island. MT. Graham and I will motor over from Sag Harbor through North Haven, and meet you on the Shelter Island dock, and motor you to quiet, com forta bIe, little hotel in the heart of the island woods, where we can make plans for the posing. All the ex- penses of your journey we will, of course, repay. Cordially yours,

New York, Aug. 12.-certainly the fashion dictator has something up her sleeve this season.
 You simply can't overlook the i'm portance of the sleeve.
 Indeed, if you try to get by with last years sleeve, you might just as well agree that you are unprogressive and stationary.
 The new sleeves are fascinating ana very simplicity of line gives them their distinction.
 Period stuff is not only good in sleeves but it is also defiant.
 You'll find Moyen Age sleeve on a decidedly 1921 gown. But that makes no difference. It's the line, not the name or the period, that counts.
 A sleeve with an armhole as big as the side of a blouse, with fuIlness caught at the wrist to a cuff which is much larger than the wristband, com mands attention
 There is another graceful sleeve slit to the elbow, it's square flowing mater ial held at the wrist by two beaded bands.
 Another is middle age in character with a long band of free hanging ma. terlal falling free from the arm. Short sleeves are even cut out or the shoulder. And sleeves are of al lengths. The individuality of the sleeve is the thing that makes the personalit, Of the dress.

CHAPTER VIII. Unu1asked.

The Kerr ranch>. buildings were more than a nailea&a from the point where Lambert and the sheriff halted to look down on them.
 I'll take the front door; you watch the back
 They had not closed up half the distance between them and the house when two horsemen rode around the corner of the ranch fence. Outside |the fence they separated with the suddenness of a preconcerted plan, darting away in opposite directions Each wore white hat, and from that distance they appeared as much alike in size and bearing as man and his reflection.
 The sheriff swore a surprised oath at sight of them, and their cunning plan to confuse and divide the pursuing force.
 Which one of 'em's Kerr?" he shouted as ne leaned in his saddle, urging his horse on for all that it could do.
 T don't know Lambert returned. "I'll chance this one,'' said the sheriff pointing. 'Take the other teller."
 The sky was bright beyond horse and rider, cut sharply by the line of the hill. Against it the picture stood black as shadow, but with an un- naistakable pose in the rider that made Lambert's heart jump and grow glad.
