Ethel went ahead slightly to guide the way. The Rock now was con- stantly in sight; and, glancing again and again at it, Ethel felt it domina- ting her mood They entered woods again and soon heard a whip cracking and the voice of a man calling to straining horses. “That's Sam Green Sky,"” Ethel in- formed; and they came upon a white and roan team ‘B’jou, Miss Ethel.” Sam hailed and waved his arm, while he set about turning his team back into the tracks they had just cleared He was a younger man than Red- bird, not more than thirty and fat and swarthy. “Old man pretty well; pretty mad this morning; old lady well too.” Green Sky vouchsafed genial infor- mation without urging. ‘“‘Somebody he said, glane- the house come to Wheedon's yesterday: and go| out to Rock. Old man want to know about it; damn mad."” Ethel glanced at Loutrelle whom she found gazing at her and walting for her to ask the question. “The name of the man—Sam “Mr. Bagley. That's all.” Ethel gazed at the Rock again and felt the blood running a bit colder within her. She looked back to Lou- trelle who had pulled off his glove to offter his hand. “B’jou, Miss Carew,” he said, eyes meeting hers. “You've mighty good to me."” He turned about once and waved at her; then, proceeding more swift- ly, he soon vanished in a ravine. A stew hundred vards further on, heard the distant echo of a vigorous voice singing the lively tune of an old French song of the time of Na- poleon: been . . . a Paris, a Paris . . . Ah, {'y etais mosquetaire!” Danger! No fear for him if the danger were honest and open She glanced ahead and suddenly saw dark figure, tall and broad but bent] back toward a little, standing with ridge—her her on the top of grandfather. “Well, my dear, you're you? train?” “He said to thank you; he'd call later He wanted to go first to the Rock.” “So he'll call later, eh? Now who is he? I'll know all about that fel- tow."” Ethel gazed into her grandfather's eyep—little, blod-shot, but keen un- der his low, bushy, white brows.

Mi Flatt had been his pri- vate secretary for many vears. Her salary was sufficient to enable her to attract a lazy, good.looking youth named Merrill Kincheloe, seven years younger than herself. She married him and thereafter sup- ported him, to her employer's ex- ceeding disgust, as never let her marriage ge her name to him and, when 1 been obliged to refer to loe, it had been always as Plett's husband." Miss Platt’s husband were at the door as the sled drew up be- | fore the porch; and Ethel felt a rush {he n | A DARK FIGURE, TALL AND BROAD, BUT BENT A LITTLE. of love as she saw her grandmother. | |She was a little woman, thin and |shrunken now but erect, with spirit unbroken by her many years. . Later in the day Ethel had her business talk with Lucas. | “I've come for money, grand-: father,” she confessed at once. A good deal of money, some of which I reed immediately.” Well, how much?" “I've the tottal here: the dates! mean the time when I ought to have {the different amounts,” she explained, trembling in spite of herself | “Those are the names of irrigation and development companies and water-power plants in Montana and | Wyoming. 1 want the. money |smart——so smart," marked ‘immediate 'to complete the| first five and get them running. If' 1 do not do that, the leases—or the purchase contracts—will lapse.” He only grunted as he glanced over | it and stopped chewing his cigar. “All right; what happens if they lapse?” “Father's interest—my interest now,” Ethel said quietly, “of course . {is lost. But that's not most impor- | tant It's to see that father's friends and our neighbors out west get their money back. They thought he was going to live and see everything through." “So you came to work natural affections for you?" “Yes," Ethel said. “Yes: 1 sup- pose you may say I've done that.” Her grandfather slowly dre his leg back from the desk-drawer, sud- denly he kicked the drawer shut and with his hands upon the desk, he upon my pushed himself up to his feet He was still a towering man in spite of the slight stoop which took more than inch from the stature which had distinguished the days of his great vigor ‘Your father believed he was so he gloated over He carried off my daughter and thought he could win against me!

John had Oliver -damn weakling; so hes under the sod, too; his wife's below the waves; and everything they had's in court. But it's coming to me!

For I'm alive and they're all dead! He jerked about and strode across the room Ethel watched him as he went to a window and stood staring out while he recovered himself. For a few moments, he seemed not to be seeing but simply to be staring Then he jerked straight, and Ethel knew that he had begun to see and that what he saw was the Rock, gaunt and glistening in the last rays of the de- clining sun.

Then it was his sight of the Rock which, the minute before, had changed him! “Why, grandfather,” she said, "I just met him on the train this morn- ing." He seized her, as the passion which he had with difficulty put down rose to mastery of him again “That's a lie—a lie!” he charged. “You're friends: you know all about him, her slowly mx’ned hundred You're—friends! She struggled to break the hold of his hand upon her shoulder, the blood hot within her. “I don't lie!” she defied him. “I do know more about him than I told you; but what 1 said was true. I told you he was going to the Rock.” “Are you going to tell him?" me about Co.r “What?" “Nei He bent over her. “All right; all right!" he said at last, pulling her papers from his pocket and thrusting Pile Sufferers Can You Answer These Questions?

He put his hand to a push button, Ethel could hear a bell ringing in some other part of the house and, knowing that she was dis- missed, she went out, meeiing Miss Platt in the hall “Beautiful afternoon,' sald, agreeably. “Beautiful,” Ethel acquiesced returned to her bedroom, (To Be Continued) Miss 700 ARE CAPTURLD, Belfast Refugees, Taken in Castle, Believed to be Irish Republicans, Castleshane, Aug. 30.—Seven hua- dred Belfast refugees belleved to be republicans were cgptured yesterday by national troops in Castle Monighan near here, The natlonal's surprised the guard of the castle and upon en- tering found nearly all the occupants asleep, Large quantities of arms, arhuni- tion and bombs were found hidden in e = s qm Yo YaY = Ge Platt| and BEAUTIFUL HAIR KILL THE DANDRUSF FIRST | some dugouts nearby.
