SURELY CASE OF HARD LUCK
Usually Immaculate Housekeeper
Caught at Most Unfortunate
Moment.

I am a methodical hOusekeeper, for
which I have been severely criticized
by my mother-in-law, and her daugh-

One day 1 discovered moth in my
fat and decided, without delay, to
clean out all the clothes closets and
trunks.
My rooms were in utter confusion
when the doorbell rang and, to my
dismay, my mother-in-law entered
with guests. She had happy, conf
dent look upon her face, which, how
ever, soon turned to one Of consterna-
ton when she saw the state of my
fiat.
After a short visit she took me aside
and said, in an indignant voice: Lulu,
knowing what an immaculate house
keeper you are, l brought these two
delegates to visit your home, in prefer
ence to my daughters, and this is what

NEVER TOO LATE

SYNOPSIS.-Arriving at the lone
Iy little railroad sta ton of FL Cajon,
New Mexico, Madeline Hammond,
New York society girl, finds no one
to meet her. While in the waiting
room, a drunken cowboy enters,
asks If she is married, and departs,
leaving her terrified. He returns
with a priest, who goes through
some sort of ceremony and the
cowboy forces her to say Isl"
Asking her name and learning her
identity the cowboy seems dazed.
In a shooting scrape outside the
room Mexican is killed. The cow
boy lets a girl, Bonita, take his
horse and escape, then conducts
Madeline to Florence Kingsley,
friend of her brother. Florence
welcomes her, learns her story, and
dismisses the cowboy, Gene Stew
art. Next day Alfred Hammond,
Madeline's brother, takes Stewart
to task. Madeline eXonerates him
of any wrong intent. Alfred, scion
of a wealthy family, Lad been dis
missed from his home because of
his dissipation. Madeline sees that
the West has redeemed him. She
meets Stillwell, AIS employer, typ
ical western ranchman. StillweI
tells her how Stewart beat up the
sheriff to save her from arrest and
tken lit out for the border Danny
Mains, one of Stillwelps cowboys,
has disappeared, with some of Still
well'a money. His friends link his
name with the girl Bonita. Made
line gets a glimpse of life on a
western ranch. Stewart sends Made
line his horse Majesty. She buys
out StitIwell and Her Majestys

finds he, life work under THE

CHAPTER VII.-Continued.

Sometimes she thought of her par
ents, sister, friends, of how they had
persistently refused to believe she
could or would stay in the West. They
were always asking her to come home
She wrote that she would return to
her old home some time, of course, for
a visit; and letters such as this
brought returns that amused Made
line sometimes saddened her Her
fathers business had been such that
he could not leave it for the time re-
quired for a western trip, or else
according to his letter, he would have
come for her. Mrs Hammond could
not have been driven to cross the
Hudson river; her un-American idea
of the wilderness westward was that
Indians still chased buffalo on the out
irts of Chicago. Madeline's sister
Helen had long been eager to come, as
much from curiosity, Madeline
thought, as from sisterly regard. And
at length Madeline concluded that the
proof of her breaking permanent ties
might better be seen by visiting rela-
tlves and friends before she went back
East With that in mind she invited
Helen to visit her during the summer,
and bring as many friends as she
liked,
No slight task indeed was it to over
gee the many business details of Her
MajeSty's Rancho and to keep rec
ord of them Madeline found the
couAse of business training upon which
her father had insisted to be invalu-
able TO her now. 1t helped her to as
simulate and arrange the practical
details of cattle-raising as put forth
by the blunt StillWell. She established
an extensive vegetable farm, and she
planted orchards. The climate was
superior to that of California, and,
with abundant water, trees and plants
and gardens flourished and bloomed
in way wonderful to behold. Here
In the farming section Of the ranch
Madeline found employment for the
little colony of MeXicans. Their lives
had been as hard and barren as the
dry valley where they had lived. But
as the valley had been transformed
by the soft, rich touch of water, so
tleir lives had been transformed by
help and sympathy and work. The
children were wretched no more, and
many that had been blind could now
see, and Madeline had become to them
q new and blessed Virgin
Madeline looked abroad over these
lands and likened the change in them
and those who lived by them to the
change in her heart. 1t may have been
fancy, but the sun seemed to be
brighter, the sky bluer, the wind
Sweeter. Certain it was that the deep
green of grass and garden was not
fancy, nor the white and pink of bios
som, nor the blaze and perfume Of
aower nor the sheen of lake and the
Nuttering Of newborn leaves. Where
there had been mOnOtonOus gray there
was now vivid and changing color
Formerly there had been silence both
day and night; now during the sunny
hours shere was music The whistle
of p'uncing stations pealed in from
the grassy ridges. Innumerable birds
had come and, like the n0rthwarG-
5ourneying ducks, they had tarried to
stay. The song of meadow-lark and
bIackbird and robin, familiar to Made
line from childhood mingled with the
new and strange heart throbbing song
of the mocking-bird and the piercing
hi Of ole Il al
ancholy moan of the turtle-dOve.

deadly, cold f1nality. No doubt he
knew he was doomed. Yet something
halted her-held her even as she took
a backward step. And she became
conscious of a subtle change in her
own feeling. She had come into that
squalid hole. Madeline Hammond,
earnest enough, kind enough in her
own intentions; but she had been al
most imperiOus-a woman habitually,
proudly used to being obeyed. She d.
vined that all the pride, blue blood,
wealth, culture, distinction, all the i'm
personal condescending persuasion, all
the fatuOus philanthropy on earth
would not avail to turn this man
single hairs -breadth from his down.
ward career to destruction. She was
going to fail to help him. She expert
enced a sensation of impotence that
amounted almost to distress. The sit
uation assumed a tragic keenness.
Stewart, look at me-" she asked.
He shuddered He was abject,
crushed He dared not show his
swollen, blackened face. His fierce,
cramped posture revealed more than
his features might have shown; it be-
trayed the torturing shame Of a man
of pride and passion, a man who had
been confronted in his degradation by
the woman he had dared to enshrine
in his heart. 1t betrayed his love.
listen, them" went on Madeline,
and her voice was unsteady. Listen
to me, Stewart You can shake off
this desperate mood and be a man."
"No!" he cried.
Listen to me again. Somehow I
know you're worthy of StillwelIs love.
VIII you come back with us-for his
sake?"
'NO. It's too late, l tell you"
Stewart, the best thing in life Is
faith in human nature. l have faith
in you. 1 believe you are worth it,"
you're only kind and good-saying
that You can't mean It,"
II mean it with all my heart" she
replied, a sudden rich warmth suffus-
ing her body as she saw the first sign
of his softening "Will you come back
if not for your own sake or Still.
well's-then for mine?"
"What am 1 to such a woman as
your"
"a man in trouble, Stewart. But I
have come to help you, to show my
faith in you"
IF 1 believed that, might try" he
said.
Listen" she began, softly, hurried
ly. my word Is not lightly given.
Let it prove my faith in you Look at
me now and say you will come"
He heaved up his big frame as If
trying to cast off a giants burden, and
then slowly he turned toward her.
His face was a blotched and terrible
thing. The physical brutalizing marks
were there, and at that instant all
that appeared human to Madeline was
the dawning in dead, furnace-like eyes
Of a beautiful light.
'Tll come" he whispered, huskily.
"Give me few days to straighten up,
then I'll come"

across the Mexican line had manifestly
Increased with the news that Gene
Stewart had achieved distinction with
the rebel forces. Thereafter the old
cattleman sent for Ell PasO and Doug
