CHAPTER V.
Cabin of the Three Gables.
+Eerl dOwl

Cabin or the Three Gables.
 For some distance back from the river the Earthmaker scrambled the FIatwoods. Scrambled-that's exact ly what seems to have happened to a strip along the north hank. A maze of gulch and cliff, of gully and bluff {; all bearded thick with trees and dense underbrush; ail alive with the teasing mystery of growing things.
 The path the girl travelled wound itself, or rather unwound itself. right through the heart of the hills, deep into the mystery of the thick woods. until It turned sharply and led up the east bank of Wolf run. the little stream in which the Pearlhunter had washed the elecampane roots.
 A short distance above the pool. so near that the Pearlhunter wondered he had not seen it before, a three gabled, one-story log cabin snugged back against the bluffs just where they left the bank of the stream and curved to the east. 4 step farther, small plot of crock bottom had been cleared and fenced-what the Flatwoods called garden patch" Back of the gar den. stable hugged the bluff. but it was half hidden by rank weeds.
 The cabin was built of hewn logs, notched artistically at the corners. The roof projected well beyond the walls the chimneys were of red brick tie doors and windows of a finish rather more pretentious than was common in the woods. There were three wings, extending at right an- gles from common center, making four rooms, in all, three along the front. with another, probably the kitchen, extending back from the cen tral room.
 Where the path left the stream to turn toward the door the girl paused and held out her hand for the basket. Slowly the Pearlhunter passed it over. It was an awkward moment. His eyes travelled past her to the tiny -ar'len. IIe noticed that the fence

q don't know that it's splendid. " le said. "Tm going to buy some books; and then-"
 He hesitated The girl dropped her eyes and stood toying with the bonnet strings around her arm. She did not mention that the storekeeper had told her the tragedy of the grave at Fallen Rock; of the mother who had died the very evening of success; whose eyes had not been permitted to rest on the faultless sheen of the jewel for which she, too, had searched a life time.
 And then" she repeated, when 1t seemed he was not going on.
 A tiny breeze fell into the woods through the gap cut by the road, and stirred the leaves. There Is death as well as life in the woods. Death al' ways; even in June. The breeze found dead leaf among the living ones and shook 1t loose. It threat ened to light on the girls bright hair, but fiuttered down past her face and fell at her feet.
 The breezes the falling leaf-the woods, her woods, had whispered; and she heard.
 'Daddyl" she cried suddenly. i've left him too long,"
 Her voice had grown serious. She held out her hand for the basket. The Pearlhunter passed 1t over and she turned away.
 It was an awkward parting and the Pearlhunter felt it. but he was man of slow speech. His words had to be clipped by hand out of the rough. one at a time. as men of old fashioned their arrowheads.
 "wild Rosei
 She turned. The name had brought the dimples back.
 May I walk along with you?"
 The words were past recall before he knew 1t.
 ''The woods are as much yours as mine." was her smiling answer.
 He never could remember just how the baske managed to get from her arm to his as he walked away with Ter, the sole recollection that stood out in his memory being the fact that the path seemed to fv up and hit his feet before he quite had time to set +hern down.

opening !ed to another room on the west; similar opening. with the cur tain looped back and tied with a bit of ribbon, disclosed a room on the east. 4 closed door gave entrance to the third room, probably the kitch- en, logged a little to allow for win dow near the northwest corner of the center room.
 His gaze travelled to the fire place. A revolver-a very dependable look ing siX-gun-lay upon the mantel. Above 1t, arranged across a draped American flag, hung a silk sash, a tasseled cord, a pair of silver spurs, and sword. Looped in the sword hilt were two strands of ribbon, one purple, the other gold. There came a dim remembrance that he had once heard somewhere these were the col ors of famous regiment that great ly distinguished itself in the Indian wars.
 The half minute or more he had spent looking over the room had giv- en him time to recover his calm. and
 
 in the chair.
 The Wild Man was whetting his knife against his palm, mumbling and muttering. He seemed to gloat over the glitter of it-and the girl within easy reach of his hand. The Pearl hunter stiffened; gathered himself to spring. She happened to look up. caught his eye, and shook her head. Seemingly unconscious of any danger. she came to the door, picked up her basket and his hat and put them on the table beside the vase of wild roses.
 You're not afraid?' asked the Pearl hunter
 He wouldn't harm a fy."
 "But the knife?"
 He plays with it by the hour. That knife" as if weighing the thought it raised. He keeps it with him night and day. I fear death will sometime come of that knifel"
 His eyes urged her to go on.
 Seven years he's been as you see him. Up to that time he was the most wonderful father girl ever had. He wasn't gray until then, and he didn't wear beard. Those who knew him then wouldn't know him now. It was seven years ago this June--the twen- tieth. I remember 1t because 1t was my birthday-I was twelve. That eve ming I heard a groan at the kitchen door. I ran out, and there was Dad dy, holding to the door post to keep from falling, his hands covered with blood, and blood all over his face and hair. helped him in, washed off the blood and discovered 1t came from a wound in his head. bound it up the best I could and ran to the village for the doctor
 ''When he came, he said Daddy had been shot. There was a long scar like a groove-that the doctor said was made by the bullet. It had caused concussion of the brain. Since that

ABSURD NAMES WORK HARM
May Be Witty, But They Too Ere quentIy Tend to Put Community
 in Disrepute.

Freakish and absurb names given to communities, villages and counties by some waggish wit in the primitive times, have way of persisting, cling ing to the community. so that 1t is most difficult to get rid of them when new people have succeeded to resi- dence there. Some of. these absurd names are so ridiculous they harm the community. tending at all times to put 1t in disrepute, make it a jest and byword.
 All over the country are to be found places where the oId-time wit left his contribution of harmful levity. against which the community struggles. In the northern part of Missouri was a little community that was given. in the days before the war. the rather startling name of Burnshirt. The name grew out of an incident that took place when some big-game hunt CTS were encamped at the settlement. The name appealed to the disabilities of the community and for two genera lions 1t was compelled to bear that name. It had small degree of com fort from the fact that lesser com munity, hard by. had won the name of Pinhook. Hooppole township in POsey county, Indiana, is quite the most widely known of any township in the Hoosier stcte. yet strangers might not be induced to locate there because of the attractiveness or prom ise foun" in the name.-Ohio State Journal.

 She beckoned him across the room ] to the book case. It was the first car. pet the Pearl Hunter had ever walked over. He set his feet down like man crossing thin ice.
 She fumbled out from behind a row of books small packet, with the eau ton: 't
 You mustn't let Daddy see it. He will go wild if you do. used to keep it stuck behind the picture, but it worked out into sight one day, and he drove the knife through 1t before could get it away from him. If he ever finds the man 1t belongs to he'll serve him the same way, I'm afraid Sometimes I think that's why he haunts the wOods-to see if he can find him. There, you can see where the knife went through"
 She had been unwrapping a fold of paper as she talked. The sight of it's contents surprised low exclamation from the Pearlhunter. It was a red mask.
 The Pearlhunter fingered the bit of stiff cloth lying across the girls palm with such quick eagerness that her eyes sought his face curiousIy. The red mask The slit of the knife near an eye hole-no man in the FlatwOods better able to read the story it told; none better able to piece together the fragments of that seven-year-old trag- edy.
 Up through the eye holes there seemed to glow a pair of eyes-blue, like blue ice; eyes that glow black when reused. He knew what they looked like when the. blue turned to black.
 Suddenly, without warning, a deep groan set the silence ashiver The girl crammed the packet back behind the books; the Pearlhunter whirled.
 The Wild Man had risen from his chair and stood peering toward him with wide, weird eyes. With a step that was ghostly noiseless he crossed the floor. Quite close he came, his dulled senses seeming to need the stimulus of close contact His bony

hands and long arms were qulverfng; his hollow face twitchin@ pitifully.
 Hes never like ,Lis," the girl whispered.
 The young man glanced at her and stood still. The thin hands huttered ! over his face and head. Even their lightest touch was heavy with a strength that must have been prOdig- ious-as If the fires of his malady kin died force in him more than human. Some impulse of compassion must have reached the heart of the Pearl hunter, for he stretched his long arm forth and laid it about the old mans shoulders. Instantly he felt the weight of the gray giant upon him. It might have been the one thing the stricken man craved in his dumb way-the touch of his kind; the prop of a mans arm.
 The situation embarrassed the Pearl hunter. It was like winning the con fidence of little child, and then not knowing what to do with 1t.
 The girl was quick to see his embar- rassment, and, much as a mother might coax a child away from some one she imagined it was annoying, she led the old man back to his chair; then. leaving him, she hurried across the room to the book case.
 "I never saw him so restless before" she said, as she passed by. "He seems to like you. though" she continued while finding the book she wanted. Strange, too, for he's cross usually. even to the doctor. Won't you excuse me till I quiet him?" .
 Before he could reply she had found the book and hurried back to the chair Opening it, she laid it upon the old mans knees. He bent his head and felt over the oren page with his hand, but the weird eyes could no longer re- solve the frozen magic of the words He fidgeted in his chair and the book slid to the floor.
 The picture was too distressing, and the Pearlhunter turned his face away. From where he stood he had an almost unobstructed view into the east room, the girls room, and before he realized 1t his eyes had strayed past the curtains. Amusement held them there a moment in spite of him. The room, in striking contrast to what he had seen of the rest oe the house. was almost bare of furniture-a car petless floor; the rudest of beds; a broken chair. and little else.
 He heard her walking across the floor and turned away half guiltily. She had her hand upon the curtained entrance of the west room. and he mo- ticed that 1t was carpeted, and was otherwise furnished quite in keeping with the room in which he stood. cer- tainly in very decided contrast to the room upon the east.
 But he had no time to reflect on all these things, for the girl reappeared in a moment carrying a cello. which she placed between the old mans knees. She put the bow in his right hand and lifted his left to the strings. He laid his cheek down upon the in- strument; grew quiet. The faltering bow tried to wake the strings, but in vain. The old mans body seemed to shrink together. His chin dropped down upon his breast. But the next instant he sat upright and rigid; his wide eyes, groping around, found the Pearlhunter. and he started to rise grappled up, strained up, asti if by h power outside himself.

THE RED MASK.

Synopsis.-Never having known his father, and living with his mother on a houseboat on the Wa bash river, Pearlhunter-the only name he has-learns from her a part of the story of her sad life. The recital is interrupted by a fearful fit of coughing and he hur- ries ashore to seek a root that af- lords relief. He meets a young girl whom he mentally christens the Wild Rose. She eludes him be- fore he can make her acquaint- ance. A vacant cabin on the shore has attracted the attention of the ailing woman, and they move into 1t. Their first meal is interrupted by the Man-in-the-Fancy-V Vest. Pearlhunter strikes him. Gunplay threatens. The mother dramati- cally drives the intruder away. She says he is the "Other Man." whom she has not seen for 20 years. They find red mask dropped by the Other Man. That night Pearlhunter finds the Blue Moon, a great freshwater pearl. His mother dies without revealing his fathers name. Pearlhunter and the Other Man meet in the village; pistol fight is narrowly averted. Pearlhunter believes him to be the Red Mask criminal. Pearl hunter rescues Wild Rose from the Other Man and meets Wild Man, her father.

Patch Your LinoIeum.

When Iinoleum wears out in any spot mark out with chalk on the limo Ieum the piece you wish to repair The shape of this piece should be square. circular or triangular. Cut 1t out with a sharp. short-bladed knife and place 1t as a pattern on a new piece of linO- leum and cut out carefully. Put hot glue around the edge and a little un- derneath and fix 1t into the empty space. The glue will secure 1t firmly. filling up the crack all around. and so prevent dust from entering the joint. No nails are required. If the linOleum has a design and the new piece Is matched the joint will scarcely be noticed.r

Peculiar Amusement.

Francis Bacon was so fond of fine clothes that he spent his odd time in trying to devise new styles and fea- lures of dress. During his life he made some 1,2OO drawings of freakish costumes. When he could not get any body to wear them. he hired a number of men to don the grotesque attire and to promenade the streets for his pleasure.
