Aunt Sally Seeks Advice.

Two days had passed since the bob
ride. Jack had brooded. over the mis-
hap considerably, for he had not for
gotten those words of Mr.. Shirley in
parting. II shall depend on you, Jack,
to keep her safe" 1t hurt his pride
that anything should have gone
wrong. He concluded by the second
afternoon that it was not enough for
one Go-Hawk to be with her. but that
the entire tribe in some manner
should express their regret.
Before the close OF school that aft
ernoon he had managed TO pass the
bit of birch bark with its strange
markings TO each member of the
tribe. They understood the sign that
their chief wanted them to go at once
to their winter quarters.

''Dammer ladyship,' grunted Jake
IN the very act Of falling asleep.
With dazed eyes Nat looked help
lessly at the Colonel and shaped his
lips to utterance by visible effort.
Too much drink" he said
thickly. Not used wine"
He made a feeble attempt to rise,
failed, and he suddenly resigned
himself Like Jake, who was al
ready snoring. he made on the table a
pillow of his arms, and lowered his
head to it.
In a moment both the chairmen
were soundly asleep.
Colonel Holes softly pushed back
his stool, and rose.
He lurched out of the corner, and
the hostess hearing him move came
forward. He took her by the arm
with one hand, whilst with the other,
to her amazement, he pressed a sec
ond gold piece into her palm. He
closed one eye solemly, and pointed TO
the sleeping twain.

She smirked, clutching that second
precious pece. Indeed. your honor

Holes considered her critically.

Miss Farquharson steadily shrieking
for help and beating frenMedly upon

She, too, had seen those heaven-sent
rescuers rushing swiftly to meet them.
They were party of three gentle

homeward way. They were young

He loosed her arm, reeled away a

of the place and off down the street
Having gone some little way, he
halted unsteadily and looked back
He was not observed. Having as
sured himself of this, he resumed his
way. and it is noteworthy that he no
longer staggered. Nils step was now
brisk and certain. He flung some
thing from him as he went. and there
was faint tinkle Of shivering glass.
It was the phial that had contained

added to is guests wine.
The hour Of seven was striking from
St. Clements Danes as he passed the
hack door Of the playhouse and the
INTENDED chair that waited there for
Miss Farquharson. Farther down the
narrow street couple of men were

were very similar. and they were

HOLES took cover in a doorway,
whence he could watch the scene Of
action, and there disposed himself to

At last. at a little after half-past
eight, when already objects were be

distance, the actress made her ap.

accompanied by Mr.. Betterton, and
was followed by the theater door
keeper. She paused to deliver to the
latter certain instructions in the
matter of her packages, then Mr..
BetterIOn escorted her CALAMITY to
her chair. The chairmen were al
ready at their places to which they
had sprung Immediately upon her
coming forth. One standing behind

made of this a screen for himself
The other by the foreshafts ell
dea vored to find cover beside the body
of the chair itself.
Gathering her hooded cloak about
her, she stepped into the sedan. Bet

valediction. AS he stood back, the
chairman in front closed the apron
whilst the one behind lowered the
roof Then, taking their places be-
tween the shafts, they raised the
chair and began to move away with

The pair were spending a very

favored the draught-

'But 'sgood enough, and just the

Then the Colonel fell to talking

beckoned her nearer still and thrust a
piece of gold into her hand.

he, very magnificent. 4.
The Colonel resumed his talk.
Whether from the soporific dreariness
Of this. or from the potency OF the

so heavy that he appeared to have
difficulty in keeping them from clos

case. Presently, surrendering TO the
luxudious tOrpOr that pervaded him,
Jake folded his arms upon the table,
and laid ais sleepy head upon them.

leaned across in an attempt to rouse

The chair resumed its way in the
