Clifford. Carlisle had a natural horror
of all hardships; clamping out, as he
proposed to do, was most horrible to
him, but be saw no other way out of
the difficulty whieh hedged him in.
With morning foresight he made his
way back to the village, and there pur-
slowed a. stock tee eupplies which should
last him far beyond the time for the
train to arrive,
He had little fear of the weather, for
leis heavy sealskin overcoat would amply
protect him.
At the juneture of the mountain road
and. the road to Hadley there was a
deep hollow in a pile of rocks, which
he had discovered during his ramblings
euite by chance. This place had served
him well on several emulous when he
Imd been forced to find a retreat quick-
ly. Neither the villagers nor the Pawnees
seemed to know of its existence, he soon
discovered, and therefore in it he felt
safe from both alike.
With Clifford Carlisle, his own safety
was of the utmose importance to him;
he would never face danger when there
was a way to avoid it. Therefore he
hied himself to his place of comcealment
with all possible deapatch.
Thus that night palmed, as did the fol-
lowing, and as there was as yet no sign
of the eacciunter which the half-breed
had spoken to him about, it dawned
upon him that.the Pawnees were waiting
for him to join therm
He realized, too, that the half-breed
was probably searching for him, furious
over the delay he was eausing in their
plans.
He knew, too, that if he fell into their
hands after that length of time they
would be pretty apt to wreak their
vengeanee upon him.
FrOM his plaoe of eonceahnent he
knew that he could. easily reach the de-
pot when. he heard the welcome whistle
of the lommotive from afar off.

had fallen senselests be the path, and

Ile was well e,nough a,equainted with
the Pawneee to know that they would
not attempt to interfere with the train,
for they stood too much in, fear of the
big, puffing engines, that had once ,upon
a time swept over a score of them who
refused to stand off from the track as
It v.pproached.
Ile knew that Florice Austin pause
have discovered ere this that he had not
caught the train; but, as he had not
returned to Harrison Hall, no doubt she
supposed. he must have gone .over to
Spokane to try to get a train from
there.
Thus he settled the matter and dis-
missed the oubject from his thottglas.
There was only one thing that troubled
his °one:deuce and that was the fate
little Endue had. met with at the honds
of Chowsky. During the lonely hours
he vent in his place of concealment he
could think of nothing else.
In those hours he learned a startling
truth, and that waa, that he cared for
Norine-ay, cared for her a thousand
times more than he had dreamed pos-
sible that he could ever care for anyone
save himself.
The eventful Wednesday night rolled
areund, and Clifford Clat ;We waited
with all the impatient:3e imaginable for
the welcome whiatie of the train. He
was glad to think that it would come
and go ere the raid of the Pawnees
would take place; perhaps that was the
very thing that they were waiting for.
He wondered that that solution of the
mystery hied not occurred to him before;
biss Pawnees would not put their
raid agatiost the villagere into exeoution
until after that tavern had gone, if it

in intenee agitation; "I can explain all

She laughted a head, bitter laugh.
"What my eyes behold, that I shall
believe!" she creed. "Yeeel can make a•

body!" she cried, raleing her voice to a
01011, high key; "1 demount:a Clifford

she went on, with growing rage; "our

Pledge of =Trying you. You will bit-
terly rue all these tales- you are telling
about me. Can you not realize that?
I never thought that it would be you
who would try to ruin me."
Again she laughed that horrible, bitter
laugh that made the blood run cold in
his veins as he answered:
"Marry youl Why, I would as soon
think of throwing myself before this
train. I shall never marry a man, who
would deceive and willfully de-
sert me for another. I ean hate a• thou-
eandfold more bitterly than I can love,
and this I say to you, Clifford Corlisle:
I am your mortal foe, and all I want is
revelage-and I have it in this hour.
"It was he," she wiidly continued,
"who made away with the -young express
agent for the money he heel with hint: I

that night because I was suapicious that

and I repeat that I witnessed the rob-
ber•y and the tragedy,
Tlie effect of those words on the
mooed which had gathered was electrical,
they would have hanged him to the
nearest tree but for the stern decesion
of Daniel Gordon that he must be taken
to the village and the truth of the wo-
mazes assertions clearly proved.
This was. accoydingly done, a terring
crowd. following.
It wee ;lot until Norine was token to
the town ball and they had worked ever
her for emeue time that consciouenese
was restored to her,
Who shall attempt to describe the
excitement that followed when she told
of the safety of Joe Brainard from
death, but of the occident he bad met
with, and that he lay on the niountain
road in the greatest pain awaiting help,
which was despatched to Jinn without
an instant's delay,
Norine was as muce amazed as any
of them when she was told of the at-
tempted 4abduot4ou, .and she thanked
Heaven indeed for the timely interim',
ence through which she had been se
mercifully aaved.
Finding that fate had closed in around
him, and his wieked career was brought
to an matimely rid, Clifford Carlisle con-
fessed everythag from the forging of
the Barrisoo will to the attempt to
make away with the young express
agent -for tlee thirty thousand dealers
in emit which he had about him -and
promising to make full restitution if
they would but set aim free and let him
go his way.
It was jos who pleaded for the man
who tried his best to be his slayer.
eAll is well that ends well,' . said
Joe, "and since little Norine has prom-
ised to marry me at once'ean feel no
resehtment against even this mon. I
say, let him go, if he will promise 'lev-
er to come near the western plains
again."
Very reluctantly the villagers consent-
ed, and a hooting, jeering men followed
the dandy of other days to the train to
See him Way away from their locality.
Foremost among them was Florio'
Anstin, and her face was the last he saw
as he crept aboard the train and the ex-
press moved eastward toward the ris-
ing sun.
Norine kept faithfully her promise to
joe. In the hours of her peril she had
learned his true worth, and that his
wail a. heart of gold-nOt one of tinsel.
And the love that awakened in her
heart for noble, heroic Joe, she knew to
be the true love of her soul, and she re-
alized that it had been only the glamor
of Infatuation which she had experienc-
id for the handsome, debonair stranger
who had came intee their trddst,

Gotham who can compare with my little
western wild flower. I'll—"
But here his soliloquy was suddenly
cut short by the loud, shrill, earsplitting
screech of the eastward -bound express
whistle, resounding far over the plains
and dying away over the mountain.
"The train at last!" he cried, with
wild enthusiasm.
"Come Norinel" he cried, catching the
slight figure up in his stalwart arms.
"I haven't time to attempt to restore
you to consciousness now; when next
you open your bonny eyes, it will be
far away from Hadley."
Louder and more shrill sounded the
whistle of the far-off train, as it thun-
dered over the frozen rails.
Clifford Carlisle knew that it would
reach time station now quite as soon as
he could; he had not one moment to lose.
Down the mountain road he ran
swiftly, though the burden which he car-
ried was no light one.
For a moment he paused to see if the
comet was clear; he had no wish to en-
counter anyone, for take Norine aboard
of that train he would, he told himself,
no matter what occurred; but he trusted
to the darkness and the exoitement to
escape attention.
He more than suspected that Florice
Austin would take that idetitice,1 trait,
but it would be a very easy matter for
him to come in contact with her by
boarding a different car.
He would not buy an extra ticket
Lor Norine, thus being obliged to step
up to the ticket seller's window, but
would pay for her on the train.
Thus he settled the tlifficultles of the
carrying out of Ma dastardly scheine, one
by one, as they presented, themeelves.
Reaching the depot, he cieutiously
crept around to the other side of the
puffing train and was just about to
board it with' the still unconschue figure
of Norine clasped closely in his arms,
when a heavy hand was laid ott his shoul-
der, and a deep, husky voice, trembling
with mighty passion, exelaimed, hoarsely:
"So I have caught you at laet, my
fine fellow! What or whom have you
there?"
Before he Could collect himiself to
utter a word, or, in fact, to gather his
scattered senses, he was hurled. baekWard
by la heavy blow and the girl grasped

The inetant he ma heard the voice,
even ere he had beheld his face, he knew
that he -Wm standing face to face with
Daniel Gordott-Norine's gre.ndfa.ther-

A diffieule undertakilig and. one which
required the work of six men for nearly
two weeks was reeently accompliehed in
California, when two thirty-foot palate
were move(' from the abandoned. reel-
denee of II. E. Huntington, on the top of
le.neb Hill, San Francisco, and traneporten
a distant* of 500 miles to his new resi-
dome at Los ltonles, near San Clainiel,

Palm movnig la a eommon occurrence
hi California, says Horticulture, but it is
not likely that any have ever been moo-
ed so great a dietetic(' with so much sue -
cuts. leach palm when boxed weighed
eighteen tons, and a string of ten horses
was required in order to transport the,
peals to the railway station, a dietance
of two 'calks, through some of the bine
est streets in San Francisco.
The paline figured were also of more
than ordinary interest to the citizens of
San Franciseo, having stood there for
more than twenty years. In addition to
this fact they might be cheesed as most
intereeting Tellies of the earthquake -fire
of 1900, at which. time Mr. Huntington's
magnificent residence was destroyed,
along with everything in that district.
The fire stripped the palms completely
of their foliage, leaving only the Imre
and blackened stems. -Since that .time
in the course of three years fresh growth
has been. made by them, new, well-de-
veloped orowns have appeared, and they
bid fair to becoine two of the most in-
teresting objects on the Huntington es-
tate.

Clothes ef Artists' Wives,
When the Society of American. Ar-
tists or the National Academy of De-
sign holds a reception 14 18 always in-
teresting to a sartorial observer to
pick out the women whose husbands
have designed their ectstumes.
Some of the wives with artistic hus-
bands plainly do not care for color
or line and come out in the latest
fashions. Then there are others whose
gowns show evidences of planning in
which the spouse has had a finger
regarding the tint of the fabric or the
way it is fashioned.
Some of the women one Bees at
these exhibitions trail about in artis-
tic and soulful robes which look as
though plucked from an unwilling
Botticelli angel and become slightly
strained in the fray. Very charming
are other of these artistic draperies
even though they lack that perfection
of finish and trimness which in fash-
ionable life is regarded as the height
of sartorial perfection. -From Brook-

To prevent dry, thin and falling hair,
remove dandruff, allay itching and iri-

usually effective when all else fails.

The Umbrella Conscience.
An insurance mon declares that he
tried this scheme the other day, and
that it worked. He found himself caught
in a rainstorm and being hi too much of
it hurry to wait for it to stop he waif
obliged to acquire on umbrella, right
away, quick. Ile paused under an awn-
ing end waited, he says, until somebedy
came along who sized up as a man with
a guilty conscienee. • Thene the insurance
roan stepped up to the etranger, saying
rebruptly:
"I'll trouble you for my umbrella!"
The stranger stared at him a moment,
handed over the umbrella end walked
away, muttering a word of apology.
Of course, the insurance man a.dmits,
the scheme might not always work and
it certain amoont of discrimination
Ritould be used in the selection of the vie-
tiin.-From the Cleveland Plein Dealer.

Engineering in Hospitals.
Practically all the important infirm-
aries and hospitals in England have
their own electric generating stations
and the size of the installations, says
the London Times, would surprise the
majority of engineers. The equipment
has to be designed with unusual care,
owing to the special conditions which
prevail in hospital work. Even where a
publio supply is available, the use of an
independent system is justified on ase.
count of the security which it jives
against failure of current at a craieal
moment. The installations are used for
lighting, heating, ventilating, telephon-
In and other purposes and many hos-
pitals have laundrMs operated electrieal-
ly. One county asylum has its own pe-
yote eleetrio railway for conveying sup.

LEGUMINOTHERAPY.
It has been discovered by our Depart-

departmeut it is in these days -and is
called the leguminotherapy doctrine. Just
how much it cost Uncle Jim to hire a
man to figure out this wonderful doc-
trine will never be known, perhaps, but
it must have been a tidy Sum, for the
concluatons are not such as could have
been arrived at in a day. The legit-
minotherapists advocate vegetable in-
stead of meat diets. Now, there are
boiled carrots. They are good for bad
tempers. Too niany potatoes produce
laziness. Greeti peas make a girl flirta-
tious. Spinach develops energy and
constancy. French string beans develop,
the poetic: and artistic instinct, which
explains the signs evhich indicate the
location of the South Water Street
