* T succeeded, WEDNESDAY; DECEMBER 9, 1995. CHAPTER XXVI. (Continued) || _, "Not yet. I'll tell you everything if you'll pro: not to breathe a word, not to interfere until Henri has a chance to square himself. 1— think I've earned the right to demand that much. I told you the whole thing was counterfeit—was ‘the work of Joe McCaskey. 1 couldn't believe Henri was up to such villainy, He's dissolute, weak, vain—anything you choose—but he’s not voluntarily criminal. Well. 1 went to work on him. 1 pretended to—” the Countess. again shivered with disgust. “Ob, you saw what I was doing, I hated myself, but there was to choice. Things came to a climax last night. 1 don’t like to talk about it—think about it—but you're bound to hear, 1 consented to go out with him, He dragged me through the dance-halls and the saloons—made me drink with him, publicly, and with the scum of the town.” Noting the expression on her hearer’s face, the Countess laughed shortly, mirthlessly. “Shock- ing, wasn't it? Low, indecent, wretched? That’s what everybody is saying. Dawson is humming with it. God! How he humiliated me! But I loosened his tongue. I got most of the details—not all, but enough. It was late, almost daylight, before He slept all day, stupe- fied, and so did I, when I wasn't too ill. “He remembered something about it, he had some shadowy recollection of talking too much, When he woke up he sent for me. Then we had it. He denied everything, of course. He lied and he twisted, but I'm the stronger—always have been. I beat him down, as usual. 1 could -have felt sorry for the poor wretch only for what he had put me through. He went out_not long ago.” “Where to? Tell “To the Police—to Colonel Cav- endish. 1 gave him the chance to make a clean breast of everything and save his hide, if possible. It he weakens I'll take the bit in my teeth.” Rouletta stood motionless for a imoment, then in deep emotion she exclaimed: “I'm so glad! And yet it must have been a terrible sacri- fice. 1 think I understand how you must loathe yourself, It was a very generous thing to do, however. Not many women could have risen to it.” 1—hope he doesn’t make me tell. 1 haven't much pride left, but—I'd like to e what renains, for you can i ne what Cavendish will think, » A wife betraying her husband for her--for another man! What a story for .nose women on the hill!” Impulsively Rouletta bent forward and kissed the speaker. “Colonel Cavendish will understand. He's a man of honor. “But, after all, when a woman really—cares, there’s a sat- isfaction, a compensation, in sacrifice, no matter how great.” “ pHida Caverson’s eves were mistv, their dark-fringed has trembled wearily shut. “Yes,” she nodded, ‘I suppose so. Bitter and sweet! When a woman of my sort, my ats and experience, lets herself really care, she tastes both. All I can hope is that Pierce never learns what he made me pay for loving him. He wouldn't — understand—yet.” She opened her eyes again and met the earnest gaze bent upon her, “I dare say you think I feel the same toward him as you do, that I want him, that I'm hungry for him. Well, I'm not. I'm way past that. I've been through fire, and fire purifies. Now run along, child. I’m sure everything will come out right.” «’ 3 The earlier snowfall, had dit ished when Rouletta stepped out to the night, but a gusty, boisterous wind had risen and this filled the air with blinding clouds of fine, hard particles, whirled up from the streets, and the girl was forced to wade through newly formed drifts that rose over the sidewalks, ia places nearly to her knees. The wind “flapped her garments and cut her bare cheeks like a knife; when she pushed her way into the Rialto and stamped the snow from her feet her face was*wet with tears; but they were frost tears. She dried them quickly and with a song in her heart she hurried back to the. lunch- counter and climbed upon her_fav- orite stool. There it was that Doret and his two elderly companions found her. “Well, we sprung him,” Tom announced. “All we done was sign on the dot- ‘ted line,” Jerry explained. “But, say, if that boy hops out of town he'll cost us a lot of money.” “How’s he going to hop out?” Tom demanded. “That's the hell of this country—there’s no getting away.” ‘i s Jerry snorted derisively. “No get- tin’ away? What are you, talkin’ about? Ain’t the Boundary within ninety miles? ’Ain’t plenty of peo- le made get-awavs? All they need 38 a dog-team and a few hours’ start of the Police.” “Everyt'ing all fix’.” 'Poleon told his sister. “I had talk wit’ Pierce. He ain’t\comin’ back here no more.” ‘ “Not coming back?” the girl ex- claimed. Doret met her startled gaze. “Not sin’ dis kin’ of place. He's cut out for good. 1 mak’ him promis: “A touch of jail ain't a bad thing for a harum-scarum kid,” Tom vol- unteered, as he finished giying his supper order. “It’s a cold compress -takes down the tever—” “Nothing of the’ sort,” Jerry as- serted. “Jails is a total waste of time.

If Iwas him I'd make that Frog hop. You hear me.” . "Poleon met Rouletta’s worried glante with a reassuring smile. “I been t'inkin’ "bout dat, too. W'at ou say I go parduers wit’ him, eh? 1 got dog-team an’ fine claim on hill- top. S'pose 1 Reeve him half-interes’ to go wit’ me?” if, ill you?” eagerly queried the rl. “Aleady I spoke it to him. He say mebbe so, but firs’ he’s got li'l biznesse here.” “Of course! His case. But that will be cleared up. Mark what I say. Yes”—Rouletta nodded happily —'take him with you, 'Poleon—out where things are clean and healthy and where he can get a new start. Oh, you make me very happy!’ The woodsman laid a big hand gently over hers. In a low voice he murmured: “Dat's all I want, ma s@ur—to mak’ you happy. If dat claim is wort’ million dollar’ it ain't too much to pay, but—I'm scare’ she’s ‘noder bum.” The song was still sounding .in Rouletta lown as heart when she sat at the faro-table, and all through the evening it seemed to her that the revelry round about was but an echo of her gladne: Pierce was free, his name lean. Probably ere this the whole truth was known to the Mounted Police and by to-mor- row it would be made public. Moreover, he and ’Poleon were to be partners. That generous woods- man, because of his affection for her, proposed to take the young fel- low into his\heart and make a man. of him. That was like him—always giving much and taking little. Well, she was ’Poleon’s sister. Who could tell what might result from this new union of interest? Of course, there was no pay out there on that moun- tain-crest, but hard -work, honest poverty, an end of these demoraliz- ing surroundings were hound to af- fect Pierce only for the better. Rou- letta blessed the name of Hilda Courteau, who had made this pos- sible, and of ’Poleon Doret, too— ’Poleon of the great heart, who loved her so sincerely, so unselfishly. He never failed her; he was a brother, truly—the best, the cheeriest, the most loyal in the world, Rouletta was amazed to realize what a part in her life the French Canadian had played. His sincere affection was about the biggest thing that had come to her, so it seemed. Occupied with such comforting thoughts, Rouletta faiied to-note that the evening had eevee more quick- ly than usual and that it was after midnight. When she did realize that fact, she wondered what could have detained Lucky Broad, Promptness was a habit with him; he and Bridges usually reported at least a half-hour ahead of time. She caught sight of the pals, finally, through the wide archway, and saw that they were surronnde: by an excited crowd, a crowd that grew swiftly as some whisper, some intelligence, spread with electric rap- idity through the barroom. Yield- ing to a premonition that something was amiss, Rouletta asked the =. out to relieve her, and, rising, she hurried into the other hall. Even before she had come within sound of Lucky's voice the cause of the gen- eral excitement was made known to her. It came in the form of at éx- clamation, a word or two snatched out of the air. “Courteau!” “Dead!” “Shot — back street — body just found!” ’ Fiercely Rouletta fought her way through the press, an unvoiced ques- tion trembling upon her lips. Broad turned at her first touch, “Tough, ain’t it?” said he. “Me and the Kid stumbled Feb over him—kicked him out of the snow. We thought he'd been. froze.” “We never dreamed he'd been shot | firs’ t’ing. ue we got Ries at sows to fp rug-store,” Bridges supplement “Shot in the back, too.” Questions were flying back . and forth now. Profiting by the confu- sion, Rouletta dranued Broad aside and queried, breathlessly : “Was he dead—quite dead—?” “Oh, sure!” i : “Who—shot hina The question came with difficulty, Lucky stared at his interrogator qiieerly, then he shrugged. “Quien sabe?

Oh, 'Poleon!” CHAPTER XXVII The news of Count Courteau’s death traveled fast. — 'Poleon Doret was not long in hearing of it, and of course he went at once in search of Rouletta. By the time he found her the gir!’s momentary panic had been succeeded by a quite unnatural self- possession; her. perturbation had changed to an intense but govern- able agitation, and her mind was working with a clarity and a rapid- ity more than normal. This. power of rising to an emergency she had doubtless inherited from her father. “One-armed” Kirly had been’ a man of resource, and, so long as he re- mained sober, he had never lost his head. Swiftly the girl told of th instant suspicion that had attached tc Phillips and of his prompt appre hension, ‘ “Who done. dat shootin’ if h. don't?” Doret inquired, quickly. “Joe McCaskey—or Frank,” Row letta answered “with positiveness ‘Poleon started.

Otherwise how did he come to . be on the back street? The Mc- Caskeys live somewhere back yon- der, don't they?” é “Sure!” 'Poleon meditated, brief- ly, “Mebbe so you're right,” he said, finally. “I know I'm right,” Roufetta, cried. “The first thing to do is find them. Where are they?” ‘ “I don’ see ’em no place.”” “Then we aust tell the colonel to look them up.” But Doret’s brows remained puck- ered in thought. “Wait!” he ex- claimed. “I got idea of my own If dem feller kill Courteau dev. ain't nowhere roun’ here.
