Shivering with the cold which pene-

glances over her shoulder until she
reached the shelter of the narrow door

bare flight of stairs.
Climbing them YEARLY, she opened
the door of her room. Striking q
match, she touched the tiny gas jet,
which gave off a warm flicker Of light.
Yet, by its feeble flame, Emily saw
that which made her clutch her throat
i'm terror, and utter an involuntary
scream.
There at the table, his head buried
in his arms, his hat slipping from his
head, sat the man who had been
following her.
Almost paralyzed, she yet managed
to back noiselessly toward the door.
But, reused by her cry, the man at the
table lifted his head-and in his tired
eyes, his unshaven face, Emily saw
her husband.
"John," faltered Emily, the color
which had left her face flooding 1t
again.
"It's me, Emily" said her husband
slowly. "You needn't be afraid. I've
been seeing you home nights for some
time. At first / was very angry with

and drew her light shawl tightly about
her neck. Far beneath her. In the
, her feet, a wild wall rent the air, the
cry of some providing animal. Then
absolute stiffness prevailed. a weird,
ominous stiffness.
Ella became afraid. although what
there was to be afraid of she could
not say. She wished her father was
there to put protecting arm around
her, to make her feel secure against
the unseen peril.
The solitude was terrible, and she
arose from the rock, intending to flee
to camp. But she seemed paralyzed.
It was simply the grip of the big out
doors night that had fastened on her,
but she felt an unfathOmable terror.

If only her father were there-Or
some one else to break the solitude.

probably she would marry him some
day. Anyhow, she needed some one
now. Of sudden she realized that
she needed a man!
Down the mountain road she heard
humming sound. At first it in
creased her terror until she realized
it was the motor of an automobile.
Presently around q curve flashed a
pair of electric eyes, and up the road
rolled a Twentieth century chariot.
Ella forced her feet to carry her into
the center Of the road, and there she
stood and held up trembling hand.
The car stopped, Its lights resting on
her. Out of the machine clambered
four male figures.
"Hello-it's Ella!" exclaimed the
foremost, and as he entered the light
she recognized Walter. Without pre-
liminary words she threw herself into
his arms.
Presently she withdrew from the
embrace and stammered an explana-
ton.

she said In concluding.
"GoodI" he calculated. Eat last you

She hesitated. CHANGING aloft she

breast her heart was pounding, but not

a minister In my party, and I've
brought a license with me from the

"You win, Walter" she admitted.

Since the finger-print method of iden-

other methods have been suggested.
An Italian scientist has suggested the

Country is Never Far Away.

The question is often asked, how
can man in city write of country
far away that he has not seen for
years. But that country Is never far

increasingly. He has but to lift his
eyes to see it-as clearly as he sees

sake Of trying to spread the love Of

THE COOL Way
THE CLEAN WAY
THE SAVING WAY

Those who know the charms of the
Great Lakes have already made plans
for their annual pilgrimage to Amer
ica's Wonderland. Lake Erie, with
it's Incompatible fleet of magnificent
passenger vessels, is especially at
tractive to travellers, and plying its
waters you will find some of the larg-
est and most palatial steamers.
OF these the Great Ship, "SEEAND-
Bee" operating daily between Cleve-
land and Buffalo, is undoubtedly the
most popular. The "SEEANDBEE"
is the largest and most costly steamer
on inland waters of the world, and
her immense proportions and luXur

gers to call her "The Floating Hotel"
The traveller finds rest and comfort
