The Filigree Ball, The House In nbbs-Menxfl Company The Girl On the E‘ge of A Cllgf CHAPTER II Dorothy, unlike Gilbertine Mur- rdy, Wag not to be read at a glance, and her trouble—for she certainly had a trouble—was not the one she chose to share with any one, even me. T could not but ask if the vary- ing moods by which I had found my- self secretly harrowed had not sprung from a cause for which my persistent love was more to blame than the temper of her relative. The aversion she had once shown to my attentions had yielded long ago in that soft pregsure of my hand which had awakened my hopes and made me forget all the doubts and capric- es of a disturbing courtship. But, had I interpreted that strong nervous pressure aright? Had it necessarily meant love? Might it not have sprung from a sudden des- perate resolution to accept a devo- tion which offered her a way out of difficulties especially galling to.one of PMer gentle but lofty spirit? Her expression when she caught my look of joy had little of the demure tenderness of a maiden blushing at her first involuntary avowal. There was shiinking in it, but it was the shrinking of a frightened woman, not of an abashed girl. Had I mis- taken my darling’s fcelings? Or had she secretly yielded to another what she had so long denied me and— “Ah!” said Sinclair at this junc- ture, “I see that I have aroused you at last.” ”You begin to see that a question of the most serious import is before us, ang this question must be an- swered before we separate for the night.” “1 do,” said I. “Then so much is gained. The next point is, how are to settle our doubts? We cannot approach either of the ladies with questions. A girl wrethched enough to contemplate su- icide would be especially careful to conceal both her misery and its cause.- Neither can we order a search made for an object so small that it can be concealed about the person. Yet this jewel must be re- covered. Listen Sinclair. I will have a talk with Dorothy, you with Gil- bertine. If a gecret lurks in cither breast our tenderness should find it | outi. But befoYe .we' ptoceed to such extreme measures let us make sure that there is no shorter road ¥% the truth. Some one may have seen which of ‘our two girls went back to the library after we all came out of it. That would narrow down our inquiry and save one of them, at least, from unnecessary disturb- ance.” Mrs. Armstrong, our hostess, was fond of gaiety and amusements were never lacking. As we stepepe down into the great hall we heard music in the drawing-room and saw that a dance was in progress. “That is good,” observed Sin- clair. “We shall run less risk of find- ing the library occupied.” “Shall I not look and find where the girls are? It -would be a great relief to find them both fimong the dancers.” “Yes,” said he. I slipped toward room. _A rush of young people greeted me as I showed myself. But I was able to elude them and catch the one full glimpse I wanted of the room beyond. On a divan near the center was a lady conversing with two gentlemen. Her back was turned toward me but I had no difficulty in recognizing Miss Murray. Some distance from her, but with her face also turned away stood Dorothy. She appeared quite at. ease and more than usually cheerful. Relieved. 1 hastened back to Sin- clair, who was watching me with furtive eyeg from between the cur- tains of the window. As 1 joined him a young man, who was to act as usher, sauntered from behind one of the great pillars and, cross- ing to where the music-room door stood open, disappeared behind it. Sinclair seized me by the arm. “Was that Beaton?”, he asked “Certdmly didn’t you recognize him?” He gave me a very strange look. “Does the sight of him recnll any- thing?” “No.” “You were at the breakfast ta- ble yesterday morning?” “I was.” “Do you remember the dream he the drawing. related for the delectation of such as would listen?” Then it was my turn to go white. “You don’t mean—"" I began. “I thought at the time that it sounded more like a veritable ad- venture than a aream; now I am sure that it was such.” “Sinclair! You do not mean that the young girl he professed himself ig‘ofi]mve surprisedzone moonlit night 'standing on the verge of a cliff, with arms upstretched and a distracted air, was a real person?” “I do. We laughed at the time; he made it seem so tragic and prepos- terou-x I do not feel like laughing: now.” I gazed at Smclmr in horror. “Beaton mentioned no names,” 1 stubbornly protested. ‘“He did not even call the vision he encountered- a woman. It, was a wraith, you re- member, a dream-maiden, a creature of his own imagination, born of some tragedy he had read:” “Beaton is a gentleman,” was Sinclair’s reply. “He-did not wish to injure, but to warn the woman for| whose benefit he told the tale.” “Warn?” “He doubtless reasoned in this way. If he could make this young and prbably sensitive girl realize that she had been seen’and her intentions recognized she would beware of such attempts in the future.” “Good God; Sinclair, don’t let us harrow up ourselves unnecessarily! I saw them both, the girls, a moment ago,’ and: nothing in their manner showed thm anything wag amiss with either of them” He~drew me toward the library. This room' was not frequented by the young people at night. Sinclair wished to show me the cabinet where the box had ibeen. There was a fire in the grate. When the door had closed behind us we Sgund that this same fire made all the light there was in the room. Sinclair drew a deep breath. “Mr. Armstrong must have gone else- where to read the evening papers,” he remarked. ’ Sinclair drew me toward a tall cabinet and, pointing to a shelf far above our hpads, cried: “No woman could reach that un- aided. Gilbertine is tall, but not tali enough for that. I purposely put it high.” T lookéd about for a stool. There was one just behind Sinclair. I drew his attention to it. He flushed and gave it a kick then shivered slightly and sat down in 2 near-by chair. 1 knew what he was thinking. Gilbertine was. taller than Dorothy. This stool might have served Gilbertine if not Dorothy. I felt great sympathy for him. After all, his ecase was more seri ous than mine. The bishop was com- ing to marry, him the next day.

Ver- ‘nor Lindgren received a bad cut on the head from a flying limb on Tues- day and had to go to Bemidji to have *he wound dressed. On Wednesday afternoon James Davis went to get on the front of his empty sleigh near the camp and fell between the horses and was kicked by one of the horses breaking his jaws and badly injuring him. The sleigh ran over him and it is fortun- ate they were empty or he would have been killed. He was taken to the Bemidji hospital where he will recover- On Friday afternoon while going out after a load of timber, Conrad Helgeson went to jump off the rear end.of his sleigh and was caught by a hand hook used in loading bolts, which hung on his wood rack. The hook caught him in the leg just above the shoe top and dragged him for -some_distance before his team stopped. He received a bad cut but is getting along all right and will soon be able to wozk.
