Bonner's Winning
Battle
BY FREDERICK CLARKE


Bonner sat at the long table in the
room of the Griilis Mailing company,
addressing envelopes. Bonner could
write twelve hundred a day, which
netted him two dollars, and that
meant fair living at the hotel.
While he wrote he was watching the
girl with the fair hair who, at another
table, was busily sealing the envelopes
with sponge and water-well. lie had
noticed her during the entire -four
days that he had worked for that par
ticular company.
The girl was quiet and refined she
worked-how hard she worked Bon

which she paid three dollars week

coughed necessarily. She was work
ing TO get the money 10 90 west. where
the clean air would cure her. She had
seventy dollars saved by two years Of
toll, and she needed hundred. Would
she gain it before it was too late?
Bonner had forty-nine dollars. His
room cost him dollar and forty
cents weekly, and he Lived on food
snatched at cheap lunch counters
Once he had been civil engineer;
then he gave way 10 the drink pas

addressed envelopes for two years ;
he found the labor one which permit
ted his thoughts TO roam unchallenged
and he had become the automaton
that all ahiressers grow 10 be. He
saved his money because he knew
that soon the dreadful craving would
clutch him by the throat again.
AS Bonner went out he saw the
girls eyes fixed pltyngly on his own
Three hours later Bonner stood on
the same block, fighting rnadly against
his overwhelming passion. lie had
never fought so hard but ne knew
that he could resist no longer lie

His eyes were suffused with red and
his face twisted with passion. 1t was
evident that he had seen me rescue
from his window above and had known
what Molly was doing.
He dragged himself past her with
out a word and looked in at Wilton,
lying unconscious on the bed.
II saw We bring him in, Molly" he
mumbled thickly. "Ye can't fool me
with tricks like that. It's trick that
we've thocht of between We. Yell cast

brated with fury-"ye'll cast him out

"You don't know what you are say
And Joe BoStOck is dead. He's lying
dead without. There's blood on his
breast. There has been dreadful ac-
cident-"
He grasped her fiercely by the wrist
"Joe Bostock dead!" he shouted.
"Who killed him."
Il don't know. Mr.. Carruthers was
carrying his body and got trapped in
the muskeg. l saved him."
AYE, one can see that" answered
Mcdonald with slow malice. we've

body shall not lie in this house, nor
Will Carruthers' neither. Mark me,
lass! Yen put him out in the shaw
to keep Joe Bostock company, or ye're

You're madw flashed Molly indig-
nantly. With swift impulse she ran
to the door and opened it. A gust of
wind blew whirl of snow into the
store. To MOlly's excited brain it
seemed to assume the momentary
form Of fantasmal figure as it
wreathed itself about the factor. He
uttered a cry and staggered back,
clutching at the edge of the counter.
"Will you let dead man lie there,
out in the SNOWY" cried Molly fierCely,
stretching out her hand toward Joe's
frozen body. do you think Will Car
ruthers shall be flung out there to
freeze to death beside him? Why, it
would be murder-and on your head !"
Perhaps it was the remembrance of
the past that checked the factor in his
fury and brought back sanity to his
mind. For a moment he stared at
Joe's dead face, then raised his eyes
to Molly's. And then, muinbling and
clutching at the counter edge. he
turned and began to drag himself up
stairs.
