[ brought her to her feet "We must save him." she cried. "We must, and we will! Is the policeman gone? We must have the best doctors from Cal gary. Looking about she found that Grey and Arthurs had left the room. | They had slipped out to leave father and cbild alone with their emotion, put she found them at the front of the | house. She seized the policeman by the ar1n- You must get us a doctor-the best doctor in the country" she plead ed. We will spare nothing"
 My guest, Miss Harris, Sergeant Grey" said Arthurs, and the police- man deftly converted her grasp into a hand shake.
 MT. Arthurs has told me the in- Jured man is your brother. He shall want for nothing, And the sooner l go the sooner you will have help"
 So saying he rode down to the gate, thanked the cowboy who had been Keeping an eye on the prisoner. and the two started off at a smart trot down the trail.
 Beulah returned to the house to min fster to her brother, but Mrs. Arthurs stopped her on the stairs.
 Your mother knoWs," she said. "They are both in the room with AL lan."
 Her first impulse was to rush in and complete the family circle, but some fine sense restrained her. For distrac- tion she plunged into the task of pre- pairing breakfast.
 At length they came down. Beulah saw them on the stairs, and knew that the gulf was bridged.
 'Allan Is better" her mother said, when she saw the girl. ''He has asked for you." And the next minute Beu- lah was on her knees by the white bed, caressing the locks that would fall over the pale forehead.

 And today we are in Olivet," she answered, tenderly. "What matters if If everything's all right"
 If only Allan-," he fa1tered.
 'Allan will get wel1,' she said. | ''When he could withstand the first shock he will get well. Of course, he must have attention, but he is in the right place for that"
