Lidger- wood was on the platform waiting, the day the Nadia, Brewster's pri- vate car, rolled in. Brewster alone left the car, “Helio, Howard!” he called. “Climb up into the Nadia and we'll give you luncheon. That ought to tempt any man who has to live in Angels the year round.” Lidgerwood accepted the invita tion, Mr. Brewster opened the door, and ty superintendent fol. lowed him across the t md. The comfortable lounging-room of the Nadia was not empty; nor was it peopled by a group of Mr. Brewster's business associates. Seated on a wicker divan drawn out to face one cf the wide side- windows, was a yorng woman, with & curly-headed, clean-faced young man beside her. A little farther slong, 4 rather austere lady, Mrs. Brewster, in fact, looked up from her magazine to say, “Why, Mr. Brewster has been He told us just a min- we were miles from the tele fooling us. ute ago Angels.” And in the farthest corner of the open compartment, facing each other companionably in an “Ss” shaped double chair, were two other young people—a man und a woman, * oy Sey, sie heavens had fallen! For the young woman filling half of the tete-a-tete chair was that one person whom LAdgerwood would have circled the globe to avoid meeting. Takiog his cue from certain pas. sages in the book of painful mem- ories, Lidgerwood meant to obey his first impulse, which prompted him to follow Mr, Brewster to the private office state-room in the for- ward end of the car, disregarding the couple in the tete-a-tete con trivance. But the triumph intly beautiful young woman would by no means sanction any such easy solution of the difficuity. “Not a word for me, Howard?" she protested. Then: “For pity's sake! what have you been doing to yourself to make you look #0 hollow-eyed and anxious?” After which she presented her compen- fon of the haped chair, “Pos sibly you will shake hands a little less abstractedly with Mr. Van Lew. Lidgerwood, my times removed.” “Glad to meet you, Mr. Lidger- wood, I'm sure,” said the young man, “Miss Eleanor has been tell- ing me about you—marooned out here in the Red Desert. By Jove! don't you know I believe I'd like to try it awhile myself. It's ages since I've had a chance to kill a man, and they tell me—" Lidgerwood laughed, recognizing Miss Brewster's romancing gift, or the results of it, “We shall have to arrange a little round-up of the bad men from Bit- cousin, ter Creek for you, Mr. Van Lew, | I hope you brought your armament along—the regulation 46's, and all that.” Miss Brewster laughed derisively, “Don't le: him discourage you, Herbert,” she mocked. “Bitter Creek is in Wyoming—or fs it in Montana?” this with a quick little eyestab for Lidgerwood, A moment later Lidgerwood suc- ceeded in getting away, and up to luncheon hour talked copper and copper proapects to Mr. Brewster in the seclusion of the president's Dentist, whose offices will be open from 7 to 11, Directly Foot of Cherry St. office compartment, “By the way, there were a few silver strikes over in the Tim. anyonis about the time of the Red Butte gold excitement,” Brewster Herbert, this is Mr, Howard | several! s3333 Francis B A Novel y Lynde Copyr By Charlies imamate | Tenens “Some of them have | remarked be shippers, grown to they?" ‘Only two, of any importance replied the superintendent Ruby, in Ruby Gulch, and Flem intor's Wire-Silver, at Little Butte, You couldn't call either of them & bonanza, but they are both ship-| yan ping fair ore in good quantities, “Flemiater,” said | reflectively He's Know him personally, Howard?” “A little,” the superintendent ad | mitted. | “A little is aplenty | pay you to know him very well,” | laughed the big man good-natured | ly. | ing way of getting next to you fin ancially, | knew | Leadville days; a born gentleman, and also a born buccaneer, men he has held up and | were to | & Deaver a robbed reet, You say the Wire haven't | ment the president| what about? character.| seen deserts before “{ think you were born to tor me,” he rejoined gloomily, “Why did you come out here with your father?

When the table gathering was complete, Eleanor Brewster and Van Lew sat together and were apparently absorbed in each other to the exclusion of all things ex- trancous, Jefferin still had Miss Doty for a companion. Following dispersal after the meal, Lidgerwood strolled out to the observation platform of the Nadia.
