STOLEN OR BORROWD—Monday |* EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA, AUG. 11, 1914 | | | IN THE WILDERNESS By GEORGE ELMER COBB, | [ UL SR T S B BT B S N SR S S BT EY S RPR R Alan Deane felt in harmony with all | the world, as he left the little vine- embowered cottage where the treas- ure of his heart was bestowed—Edna Wilton. It was quite dusk. The stars seemed to sparkle like happy eyes, the gentle nightingales sang a sooth- ing melody to his rapturous heart. “She 1is mine—mine!” whispered Alan in subdued ecstasy. “Coward heart! Why did you not urge me to seek the blissful assurance of her love | before?” In rare humility be accepted the great gift love had given him. Busi- ness life had only recently begun for Alan and it was decidedly desultory. He had been disappointed as to secur- ing employment. His, however, was | not a nature to remain waiting or idle. He picked up the first task that came to hand. Alan was something of an artist. For a few months he as- sisted a scenic artist in getting up the | scenes for a grand spectacular drama, This led to his introduction to a suc- cessful manufacturer, who was mak- | ing a specialty of his celebrated “Red | Rose Soap.” The man had got the idea of advertising the soap on all the cliff sides he could find in Idaho. The more inaccesible the place, the more daring the feat of thus giving his soap publicity, the more liberally was he willing to pay. At a salary that would enable Alan to set aside enough to begin housc-‘ keeping on in a nice way, the latter was given charge of the expedition. A wagon, a driver, all the tackle and oth- | er paraphernalia necessary to swing from lofty heights and scale great pinnacles was put aboard. The paint- ing was to be crude, but loud. The red, red rose was a 10 by 16 daub of carmine, the lettering white and 30 feet in length, so the great sign could be read miles away. With all this arranged and a sure- ty of good money ahead, Alan went to Edna and proposed. He had hesi- tated before because there was a rival in the fleld.

See here, my man,” {added Alan, as the other arose, and in trying to keep his feet staggered | somewhat as though from sheer weak- ness, “you look and act as if you need- ed help.” Alan was surprised, as the man, in- | stead of replying in words, turned away from him and leaning against a tree, buried his face in his hands and began weeping. He sobbed out in- coherently something about “a great wrong" somebody had done to him— “disgrace,” “ruln,” a long tramp, the need of food and shelter. Through it all ran a secret, bitter | Btrain connected vaguely with Ridge- | way, but the man did not explain fur- [ | ther. Allan was sympathetic. He saw that the man was in hard luck. a proffer of assistance. The result was that the poor wretch was com-‘ fortably housed at the little hotel in ‘ the village that night, All Alan could | learn from him the aext day was that he was a wandering derelict, anx- fous to get work and away from the | section which seemed to hold bitter reminders only for him, When Alan started out on his unique painting trip, the stranger, who was named Jim Prevoast, accompan- | fed him.

Returning, his heart stood still as he neared the cliff. A man was hack- ing at the ropes sustaining the frail platform a hundred feet down. He sawed them through, there was a crash below, a blood-curdling shriek. “Burt Ridgeway!" exclaimed Alan in amazement and horror, and rushed at the villain. The latter, un- nerved, as though he saw the wraith of the man he had intended to plunge to his doom, went down like a shot as Alan hit him, his head striking a rock. There he lay, senseless, Alan peered over the edge of the cliff. Away down below the platform hung, suspended by one rope. Cling- ing to a trailing cable swinging to and fro, was his helper. It was the work of & moment to descend, to venture down the swaying cable till Prevoast could climb over him. Alan insisted that the terrified Prevoast precede him to the cliff top. When he arrived there he found Prevoast bending over the insensible man, his hands full of papers, "The coward! the murderer!” cried Prevoast foreibly. “He sought to mur- der you, to get you out of the way, see, I bave found some of your letters in his pocket which he must have in- tercepted. Documents, too, that will aid and clear me of a crime imputed | to me, which made of me a fugitive and of which he was solely guilty.” One month later, armed with a writ. ten confession from Ridgeway and the knave eliminated from their llves, Alan and Prevoast completed their strange trip | | | The one wedded to the beautiful girl he so loved, the other, the man whom Alan Deane had so unselfishly de- fended, the dark past cleared, there was for both a bright promising fu- ture ahead Cor tht, 1914, by W, G.
