vor by a Dutch promoter named
De Witt. Winton, en- route to his

prospector, Daddy Seaton, and his
daughter Sheila. On the journey
a passenger, who turns out to be
De Witt himself, insults Sheila.
Winton fights De Witt and
knocks him out. Sheila tells him
to turn back. She says that her
father is a broken English army

Is therefore in De Wits power,
that De Witt is all-powerful, be-
ing backed by Judge Davis, pres

ShoOed lido the House

A woman carrying a little dog in
her arms was riding in a bus thai
went along Park lane. All the way
up she worried the conductor to know
whether they had come to No; men
When they reached the number the
conductor halted the bus, thinking the
woman wished to alight there. Instead
of doing this, however, she went to the
door of the bus and, holding up the
dog, said: Look, Fido, that's where
your mother was born!'

opinion working toward good came to
him with vivid realization. Then he
felt a pulse hammering in his temple,
and a mad rage in his heart that con
centrated all his thoughts, with terrific
energy, upon the desire for vengeance.
Across the square, presented to him
with vivid ~delineation, as if a finger
had picked it out, he saw through the
crowds the figure of Sam Simpson en-
tering the Chronicle office.
He pushed his way through the mob
and made for the building. 1t was a
single story brick edifice, consisting of
two rooms, the pressroom and the edi-
torial office. Through the one window
of the former Winton saw the single
linotype at work, under the charge of
Malopo's single operator.
Through the doorway he saw the ed
itor, Hanson, seated at a table, bent
over a pile of proofs, and Sam Simpson
standing beside him. Winton entered
and slammed down the paper upon
the table.
"I'm looking for the man who wrote
that" he said.
Hanson looked up, saw his face, and
sprang to his feet quickly. snow, now,
Mr.. Garrett, it was only a joke" he
protested. "You must not take it Sc
riously."

ton with ominous calm.

wheeling upon Sam.
"Mr. Garrett" responded the negro
with dignity, "the Chronicle is an
entity, not an agglomeration of per-
sonalities. 1t claims and exercises the
privileges of anonymity as"
Winton's fist smashed into Sans
face, and he toppled over.
He picked himself up and ran into
the street, screaming at the top of his
voice. A crowd collected quickly.
Winton found himself the center of
it, with Sam facing him accusingly,
blood streaming from his lip. Then
Judge Davis came bustling through the
throng.
''This is your doing, you miserable
old scamp - raved Winton, holding out
the paper. as this what you call fra
ternity, attacking a woman who earns
her living In a decent way2 You in
fernal old hypocrite, thank your stars
you are too old to be thrashed I"
"Hooray for the Judge! How about
It, judge?" yelled one of the %bystanders.
Judge Davis took the newspaper
from Winton's hand. put on his glasses,
and read the passage aloud.

cover, on arriving at the claim, that
the water was running again. The
incident disturbed him a good deal,
and made him realize that the syndi-
cate had a good many cards to play.
On the Lext morning he started
down town with the intention Of
catching Sheila on her way to the
Continental. At the orner of the
market square he came upon Sam
Simpson, making his rounds. The
negro had a great heap of papers
under his arm.

ton. Got a paper for me?'

mo spare copies, eh?"
I'm afraid not, sir" said Sam,
looking about him u~neasily.
"All right. I'll get one somewhere
else" said Winton, wondering a little
at Sans appearance, which was that
of a man extremely anxious to get
into other company.
He strolled i've to a small general
store with a pile of papers in front of
it, and picked up a Chronicle. He
scanned the cable and telegraphic
news, and turned to the personal col
umn. This was a feature of the paper.
1t began with authentic news, and
records of arrivals and departures,
gradually failing into gossip and re

dictate, which afforded intense amuse-
ment to those acquainted with what
was going on in town. Near the end
of the column Winton read:

Winton stood perfectly still, staring
at the paragraph. Then he looked up.

They were a sly pair, the cashier and
the waitress. One day, however, they
met their match. A gentleman called
for his bill and, upon receiving it, he
carefully added it up and found that
he had been charged so cents too much.
'How does this come about?" he
asked, looking sharply at the waitress.

trife out of breath, 'the cashier bet

With a smile the customer wrote

For SheiIa's Sake.

"What's your opinion, NedT" asked
Winton, two or three evenings later.
Much had transpired during the brief
interval. The gangs of natives had ar
rived at the compound and started OPP
e~rations, under the Immediate charge
of Seaton, who had turned up sober at
the appointed time. The old man
worked diligently and showed that be
knew his business. He had not touched
a drop of liquor. But Sheila had not
accompanied him to the cottage. and
Winton had asked no questions.
What surprised Winton was the fact
that the natives seemed to regard old
Seaton with an exaggerated Difference
which they did not extend to him. Old
Seaton, staggering under his load of
liquor, was very different from Seaton,
standing erect In the center of the COM
pound, shouting commands to his
obsequious workers, who flew to obey
him.
"You couldn't have got a better Ia
than old King Seaton, if he'll stay
SOBER" said Ned. "But it's hard OF his
girl"
"Why do you call him that?" asked
Winton, interrupting because he could
not endure any reference to Sheila.
There was something in his tone that
checked Burns on the threshold Of his
disclosures.
"Why, 1 supposed you knew, MI. Gar
rett. The old man used to be a sort of
chief among these Kairs. Lived among
'em for years, they say. l suppose

he added reflectively.
Winton realized that there was prob
ably more behind the story than Ned
to disclose. And it came to
him with a sudden shock that Ned
knew of his episode in Sheila's house
the night Of the chase, and was I'M
willing, on that account, to be as frank
as he might have been.
