PACE TWN THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FL! A:. OCT, 4, Being the Story of CHAPTER XIX. The Challenge of the Ranghk. Mr. James Armstrong sat at his desk before the west window in his private room in one of the taliest buildings in Denver. His suite of of- fices was situated on cne of the top floors, and from it ke hud a clear and unobstructed view of the mighty range over the interve: 1‘; houze and other bmldm; 5 »arth was covered with snow. It I 'nl follen stead- ily through the ni:_;. t, but with the dawn the air had cleared and the stn had come out brightly, although it was very cold. | Letters, papers, documents, the de- mands of a business extensive and var- ied, were left unnoticed. He g4t with his elbow on the desk, his hefd on his hand, looking moodily at the range. In the month that had elapked since he had received news of EnN_Malit- land's disappearance he had sat often in that way, in that place, staring at the range, a prey to most despondent reflections, heavy hearted and discon- solate indeed. | After that memorable interview with Mr. Stephen Maitland in Phila- delphia he had deemed it proper to awalt there the arrival of Mr. Rob- ert Maitland. A brief interview with that distracted gentleman had put him in possession of all the facts in the case. As Robert Maitland had sald, after presentation of the tragic story, the situation was quite hore- Hl LADY €T THE HeLSE IS MOST IN- e e TiRFSTED INTUANITURE FOR THE HOUSE S A WRE3 12 — o ———————————— Why shouldn't the lady of the house buy furniture herself?

Robert Maitland had no other idea than that Enid's body was in the lake. He intended to drain it—an engineering task of no great difficulty—and yet he Intended, either side of the main stream down which she had gone, for she might possibly have strayed away and died of starvaticn and exposure, rather than drowning. At any rate, he would leave nothing undone to discov- er her. He had strenuously opposed Arm- strong's recklessly expressed inten- tion of geoing into the mountains im- mediately to &uuxh for her.

He was as hopeless as the rest, but his temperament would not permit him to accept the inevitable calmly. It was barely possible that she might not be dexd, and that she . might not be alone. There wuis gcarce- up enough possibility of this to justify a suspicion, but that is not saying there was none at all. | Day after day he had sat in his of- ”g fice denying himself to everyone and ‘5 vefusing to consider anything, brood- ing over the situation. He loved Enid Maitland, Le loved her before, and now that he had lost her, he loved her still it ately priced. Not altogether admirable had been James Ariustrong's outwardly success- ful career. In much that is high and noble and manly his actions—und his | character—Lad often been lacking, but | | even tle bece can love, and sometimes % love transforms, if it be given a | g chance. The passion of Cymon for Iph- igenia, made a man and prince out of ! the rustic boor, and his real love for plete harcware one who knew him as he was, and few there were who had such knowledge of him, dreamed was possible. There was cne thing that | love could not do, however; it ! could not male him a patlent phil- | osopher, a good waiter, His rule of‘ life was not very high, but in one way | it was admirable, in that prompt, bo!d | desire action was his chiefest charac- | teristic.
