CHAPT Err II
A Secret Kept.


Because of that singular reply Made
line found faith to go farther with
the cowboy. But at the moment she
really did not think about what he
had said. Any answer to her would
have served If 1t had been kind.
AS she walked on into the windy
darkness, much relieved that he had
answered as he had, rejecting that he
had yet to prove his words true, she
began to grasp the deeper significance
Of them. There was a revival of pride
that made her feel that she ought to
scorn to think at all about such
man.
Presently Madelines guide turned
off the walk and raped at a door of
a low-rOofed house.
"Hullo-who's thereT a deep voice
answered.
"Gene Stewart" said the cowboy.
"Call Florence-quick!"
Thump Of footsteps followed, tap
on door, and voices. Madeline heard
a woman exclaim: Scene here when
there's dance In town! Something
wrong out on the range" A light
flared up and shone bright through
window. In another moment there
came a patter of soft steps, and the
door opened to disclose woman hold.
ing a lamp.
Scene! AIS not"
"Al is all right" interrupted the
cowboy.
Madeline had two sensations then
-one Of wonder at the note Of alarm
and love In the woman's voice, and
the other Of unutterable relief to be
safe with friend of her brothers.
IT'S AIS sister-came on tonight's
traln." the cowboy wgs saying. x

lovelier. Only you're woman now,
and you've fulfilled the name l gave
you. Cd how sight of you brings
back home! It seems hundred years
since l left. l missed you more than
all the rest"
Madeline seemed to feel with his ev-
cry word that she was remembering
him. She was so amazed at the change
in him that she could not believe her
eyes. She saw a bronzed, strong
jawed,. eagle-eyed man. stalwart, su-
perb Of height, and like the cowboys,
belted, booted, spurred. She had bid
den good-by to a disgraced, disin-
herited, dissolute boy. Well she re-
membered the handsome pale face
with its weakness and shadows and
careless smile, with the ever-present
cigarette hanging between the lips
The years had passed, and now she
saw him a mantle West had made
him a man. And Madeline Hammond
felt a strong, passionate gladness and
gratefulness, and direct check to her
sudden inspired hatred of the West.
Majesty, it was good of you to
come I'm all broken up. How did
you ever do 1t? But never mind that
now. Tell me about that brother of
mine."
And Madeline told him, and then
about their sister Helen. Question
after question he fired at her; and she
told him of her mother of Aunt Grace,
who had died year ago; Of his old
friends, married, scattered, vanished.
But she did not tell him of his father,
for he did not ask.
Quite suddenly the rapid-fre ques-
tioning ceased he choked, was silent
a moment and then burst into tears.
1t seemed to her that a long, stored
up bitterness was flooding away. 1t
hurt her to see him-hurt her more to
hear him. And in the succeeding few
moments she grew closer to him than
she had ever been in the past. Had
her father and mother done right 10y
him? Her pulse stirred with unwonted
quickness. She did not speak, but she
kissed him, which, for her, was an
indication Of unusual feeling. And
when he recovered command over his
emotions he made no reference to his
breakdown, nor did she. But that
scene struck deep into Madeline Ham
mond's heart Through 1t she saw
what he had lost and gained.
ALFRED, why did you not answer
my last lettersT asked Madeline. II
had not heard from you for two years."

OTHER LABOR NOTES

The farm labor supply of the Unit
ed States was II per cent short OF the
demand on April l.
A proposal that the governors of the
states meet to consider an amendment
to the national Constitution under
which new minimum wage laws for
women could be enacted, was made
by Governor Hart of Washington.
Wage increases for shop employees
were announced by the Wheeling 4
Erie railroad, bringing the pay Of the
workers back to practically the same
level as before the decrease ordered
by the railway labor board.
The industrial outlook In Great
Britain is regarded as extremely dis
quieting. 1t is estimated that nearly
100000 workers are involved in dis
putes with their employers, and that
some $4,000 are already on strike.
The Angus shops of the Canadian
Pacific railway closed down for 10
days. Approximately 5000 men are
affected. All have been retained. but
they have to be prepared to accept
periodical StOppageS or shorter hours
March was a record month for wage
Increases, as no less than 218 were re-
ported as compared with SO in Janu-
ary, the highest since the upward
swing began, according to the April
number of the economic news letter is
sued by the Labor department.
Information Of wildcat coal strike,
planned for this summer by certain al
legged dissatisfied elements in the min
ers' union, has come to his attention,

Now, you get out of here and don't
ever come back"
Flo" he entreated.

morrow and take my medicine" he
replied.

Stewart went out and closed the
door,

know how this hurts me-" said
Florence. what you must think Of
us! It's so unlucky that you should
have had this happen right at first.
Now, maybe you won't have the heart
to stay. Oh, I've known more than
one eastern girl to 60 home without
ever learning what we really are out
here. Miss Hammond, Gene Stewart
is fiend when he's drunk. All the
same 1 know, whatever he did, he
meant no shame to you. Come now

go the sooner you'll rest Just for
get what happened and think how fine
a surprise you're to give your brother
tomorrow"
With that she slipped out and softly
shut the door.
AS Madeline laid her watch on the
bureau she noticed that the time was
past two o'clock 1t seemed long since
she had gotten off the train. When
she had turned out the lamp and
crept wearily into bed she knew what
1t was to be utterly spent. She was
too tired to move finger.
When she awakened the room was
bright with sunlight. She was lazily
and dreamily contemplating the mud
walls Of this little room when she
remembered where she was and how
she had come there.
How great a shock she had been
subjected to was manifest In SEN
sation of disgust that overwhelmed
her. She even shut her eyes to try
and blot out the recollection. She felt
that she had been contaminated.
Presently Madeline Hammond again
awoke to the fact she had learned
the preceding night-that there were
emotions to which she had heretofore
been stranger. She scarcely remem-
bered when she had found 1t neces-
sary to control her emotions. There

happened to be at the station, ana
I've fetched her up to you"
Madeline came forward out Of the
shadow.
"Not-not really Majesty Ham
mond !" exclaimed Florence Kingsley.
She nearly dropped the lamp, and she
looked, astounded beyond belief.
"Yes, I am really she," replied
Madeline. "My train was late and
for some reason Alfred did not meet
me. Mr.-Mr. Stewart saw fit to bring
me to you instead of taking me to a
hotel"
"Oh, I'm so glad to meet you," re-
piled Florence, warmly. "Do come In.
I'm so surprised, l forget my manners.
Why, you are white as a sheet. You
must be tired. What long wait you
had at the ,stationl If had known
you were comingl Indeed, you are
very pale. Are you ill?"
mo. Only am very tired. Travel
ing so far by rail is harder than
imagined. I did have rather long
wait after arriving at the station, but
can't say that 1t was lonely"
Florence Kingsley searched Made
lines face with keen eyes, and then
took long, significant look at the
silent Stewart. With that she de-
liberately and quietly closed door
leading into another room.
"Miss Hammond, what has hap
pened" She had lowered her voice.
II do not wish to recall all that has
happened" replied Madeline. "I shall
tell Alfred, however, that l would
rather have met hostile Apache than
cowboy"
"Please don't tell AL thatw cried
Florence Then she grasped Stewart
and pulled him close to the light
"Gene, you're drunk !''
Now, see here, Flo, l only"
Il don't want to know. I'd tell 1t.
Gene, aren't you ever going to learn
decency? Aren't you ever going to
stop drinking? You'll lose all your
friends. Molly and I have pleaded
with you, and now you've gone and
done-God knows whatv
what do women want to wear wells

Master plumbers and union plumb

and a strike threatened was averted.
The signing Of the agreement was the
result of a conference between a COM
mittee Of five members of the Master
Plumbers association and union rep
sresentatives Saturday.
Motormen and conductors of the
Community Traction company of To
ledo, Ohio, voted to accept the COM
promise wage scale offered by company
officials. The new agreement calls
for so cents an hour for the first three
months, SO cents for the next nine
months and 55 cents thereafter. The
men asked for 60 and IS cents. The
old scale called for 45, At and so cents.
William A. Neer, secretary Of the
Chicago Milk Wagon Drivers union,
announced there would be no reopen
ing Of the wage scale agreement this
year, and that the milk wagon drivers
would continue to work under last
years contract. The agreement pro-
vides for minimum salary of $41 q
week and a commission Of six-tenths
Of 1 cent on all pints and quarts Of
milk delivered. With commission the
average amounts to $50 and $50 q
week.

Sister and Brother.

Then Madeline returned to the little
parlor with the brother whom she had
hardly recognized.
"Majesty!" he exclaimed. ITO think
of your being here!"
The warmth stole back along her
veins. She remembered how that pet
name had sounded from the lips Of
this brother who had given it to her.

"No, senor."
"Pm sure glad. I thought Danny

"Pat Have won't put you in Jail.

He led her outside. Madeline heard

moments silence ensued, and was
broken by pounding Of hoofs, a pat
tering of gravel. Then Madeline saw
big. dark horse run into the wide
space. She caught a glimpse of wind
swept scarf and hair, little form
low down in the saddle. The horse
was outlined in black against the line
of dim Tights. There was something
wild and splendid In his flight.
Directly the cowboy appeared again
In the doorway.
"Miss Hammond, reckon we want
to rustic out Of here. Been bad gOings-
on. And there's a train due"
She hurried into the open air, not
daring to look back or to either side.
Her guide strobe swiftly. She had
almost to run to keep up with him.
Suddenly aware that she had been
led beyond the line Of houses, sha
spoke:
"Where are you taking me?"
"To Florence Kingsley" he replied.
"WhO is She"
II reckon she's your brothers best
friend out here"
Madeline kept pace with the cow
boy for a few moments longer, and
then she stopped. 1t was as much
from necessity to catch her breath
as it was from recurring fear. The
cowboy, missing her, came back the
few intervening steps. Then he
waited, still silent, looming beside her.
'It's so dark, so lonely" she fal-
tered. "How do know what
warrant can you give me that you
that no harm will befall me If I go

"None, Miss Hammond, except that
I've seen your face"
