He had discovered certain deep pools in a disused quarry fed by a streamiet, Foggintor Quarry, wherein lay these preserves, might be approached in two ways. Originally broken into the granite bosom of the moor for stone to build the bygone war prison of Princetown, a road still extended to the deserted spot and joined the main thoroughfare half a mile dis- tant. Brendon, however, came hither by a direct path over the moors. [Leav- ing Princetown railway station upon his left hand he set his face west where the waste heaved out before him dark against a blaze of light from the sky. Against the western flame appeared a figure carrying a basket. Mark Brendon, with thoughts on the even- ing rise of the, trout, lifted his face at a light'footfall, Whereupon there passed by him the fairest woman he had ever known. She was slim and not very tall. She wore no hat and the auburn of her hair, piled high above her forehead, tangled the warm sunset beams and burned like a halo round her head. And she had blue eyes—blue as the gentian. Their size impressed Brendon. She walked quickly with a good stride and her slight, silvery skirts and rosy, silken jumper—her round hips and firm, girlish bosom. Her eyes met his for a moment with a frank, trustful expression, then she had passed. *The vision made Mark pensive, as sudden’ beauty will, and he wondered about the girl. Tramping forward now, the detec- tive came to a great crater that gaped on the hillside and stood above the dead quarry workings of Fog- gintor. Underneath him opened a cavity with sides two hundred feet high. Mark proceeded to the extreme breadth of the quarry, fifty yards northerly, and stood above two wide, heli his not only of a brought a bried from day pipe and a poueh of his pocket The turning te slum persistetd a elink monotanously from whieh the It came from there ere tim posed to be a bird behind the great acelivities that ran his place by the peols suddenly perceived that it noise but arese from tivity It was, in the musica e of 4 masen's vl when presently it ceased was annoyed ta hear heavy foot- steps in the quarr) A hig, hroad ma clad in a Norfolk epposite Hrendor » natura imar he approached him, acket and kniekers THE SBTRANGER STOPPED AS HE BAW BRENDON, bockers and a red gaudy brass buttons.

Trout moved and here and there clrcles of light widened out on the water and rippled to the cliff beyond. Mark set about his sport, vet feit that a sort of unfamiliar division had come into his mind and, while he brought two tiny-eyed files from a box and fastened them to the halir- like leader he always used, there persisted the thought of the auburn girl—her eyes blue as April—her swift, delicate’ tread. He began to fish as the light thickened; but he only cast once or tewice and then decided to walt half an hour. He grounded his rod and IF RHEUMATIC BEGIN ON SALTS Bays We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avold Exposure, Fat No Sweets, Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of Jad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxic acids Rheumatism is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are gene-| rated in the bowels and absorbed into| the blood.

""Well, so long. Take care you don’t catch anything that'll pull you in" Laughing at his joke the red man strode off through the gap fifty vards distant. Then in the stiliness Mark heard the purr of a machine, He had evidently departed upon a motor bicycle to the main road half a mile distant. When he was gone Brendon rose and strolled down the other entrance of the quarry that he might see the bungalow of which the stranger had spoken. The day grew very dim and the fret of light and shadow died off the earth, leaving all vague and vast and fea- tureless. Brendon returned to his sport and found a small “coachman’ fly sufficiently destructive. The two pools ylelded a dozen trout, of which he kept six and returned the rest to the water, Tramping back under the stars, his thoughts drifted to the auburn girl of the moor. Tour evenings after his first fishing expedition to the quarries, Mark de- voted a morning to the lower waters of the Meavy river; at the end of that day, not far short of midnight, when glasses were empty and pipes knocked out, half a dozen men, just about to retire, heard a sudden and evil report. Will Blake, “Boots” at the Duchy Hotel, was walting to extinguish the lights ,and seeing Brendon he said: “There's something in your line happened, master, by the look of it. | A pretty bobbery tomorrow. | “A convict escaped, Will?" asked | the detective, yawning and longing for bed. “That's about the only fun you get up here, isn't it?"” I'LL TAKE MY SHOES OFF AND THEY WON'T HEAR ME - IT'S JUST AS WELL THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME $ALESMAN $AM FRIEND OF MINE THAT HRS MET LI\TH AN AWDENT | WANT T0 GET AN ARTIMCAL EYE ALERSE-\ WANT \T FOR A CERTAINLN - STEP RIGAT TS waY Massage this sweetly fragrant lemon | NOW-HERE PAE SOME DANDIES 9IR- ADJYHTED TO STAND ARiN- 5NOW OR HEAT BT THRECS FOR A DOLLAR THIS WEEK ONLY onviet escape &) Pendean by the s of it And whe is M T The gentlem s hul Lungalow Mark starte T fashed 1o his mind complete in every physieal feature Me described him and Will Blake replied That's the law Brendon went ta hed worse for the tragedy Neor, when merning came and every mald and man desired to tell him all they knew did he show the ieast interest He was just slipping on A raineeat and ahout to leave thg hetel when Will Blake appeared and handed him @ letter, He felt curious and, net | ussociating the ineident with the rumored erime, set down his rod and creel, opened the note, and read what was written “3 Mation Cottages, Princetown ‘Dear Nir The police have told that you are in Princetown, and it seems as though sent you.
