CHAPTER Xh.VI.-(Cont'd)
Again a diabolical plot entered the brain
of Evelyn St. Claire. She crept to her
couch and threw herself upon it, dressed
acs she was, muttering:
"I must snatch a few hours' sleep .to
give me the nerve to carry out the scheme
of vengeance I have mapped out. I must
be up with the sun to put it in execu-
tion.'
She was up withthe sun the next morn-
ing, and arrayed_ herself for an early
walk.
Again she hailed the first coupe when
ehe had turned the corner, and gave the
directions where to drive in a cool, steady
voice. An hour or more of sharp driv-
ing brought her to a low, irregular stone
building, almost hidden by tall poplar
trees, on the outskirts of the city.
"Wait for me here," said Evelyn, alight-
ing from the vehicle and turning to-
ward the stone house. "I may be gone
but a few minutes -or an hour, perhaps."
She glances up hesitatingly at the heav-
ily curtained windows with something like
a feeling of awe.

power to assist you in any way."
"Thanks," replied Evelyn, emboldened by
the stress he laid upon the last three
words, and the peculiar knowing nod that
accompanied them. "I may as well come
to the point at once," she said, flushing
constrainedly.
"Certainly," responded the French doc-
tor; "pray do so by all means, I am all
attention,"
Evelyn toyed nervously with the dia-
mond bracelet, on her wrests a moment,
then proceeded hesitatingly.
"1' have a relative --a young and beau-
tiful girl -whom I wish to place in your
asylum under your charge. She ie hope-
lessly insane, though of the mild order,
and may require your constant care for
long years. Guard her well --let no hu-
man eye from the outside world rest up-
on her face, and you shall name your
own price. That is my errand, doctor;
now I ask if I can bring her to you -re-

assistance to you, dear madam," murmur-
ed the doctor blandly. 'Bring the young
lady here, by all means, during the
course of the afternoon, and here she shall
rest secure until you desire her release."
A wicked gleam of triumph shot into
Evelyn St. Claire's steel -blue eyes as she
rose to depart.
The doctor soon after bowed his visi-
tor out of the office, and watched the
coupe roll away, with a crafty smile play-
ing about the corners of his beardedl3pa.
"I wonder who she is," he ruminated,
closing his fingers tightly over the roll of
bills she placed in his hand. "I shouldn't
wonder if I had stumbled across a veri-
table gold mine this time. I have my
doubts as to whether the girl she intends
bringing here is insane or not, but, of
course, that's none of my affair. Here
the girl shall stay, insane or not, as long
as her friends are able to pay handsomely
for it."
As Evelyn ran hurriedly up the marble
steps of the Remington mansion, she saw
Gay standing pale and hollow-eyed at the
parlor window.
"I awaited breakfast to take it with
you, Evelyn," she said, advancing out in-
to the corridor, to meet her treacherous
friend. "I went to your room, and find-
ing it empty surmised that you had gone
out to take an early morning ramble.
"I have a wretched headache this morn-
ing, Evelyn,"
little handnt to herthrobbplaintively,
temples. "I feel dazed, quite unlike my
usual merry self."
"I am so sorry," returned Evelyn in a
sympathetic voice. "Late hours and re-
ceptions don't seem to agree with you.
If you have no engagement for this af-
ternoon to compel you to remain in doors,
come to the matinee with me, and see
the 'Mikado:' it's perfectly charming."
"Perhaps I may," returned Gay. indif-
ferently, 'though I don't care very much
for theatrical performances."
Before Evelyn could reply, the footman
brought in the morning mail, and laid
it upon the table.
There were a dozen of letters or more
for the banker, quite as many for his
wife, and four for Gay,

Gra-
mercy Park, caught Evelyn's eye as she
stood beside her, and her face paled to a
dead white as she recognized Percy Gran-
ville's dashing chirography. and this let-
ter Gay took up first and broke the seal.
One glance at its contents -a few brief
lines -and her lovely rose -bud face flushed
a burning red,
It ran as follows:
"Miss Remington, --I shall de myself the
honor of •calling upon you this evening,
if agreeable. Trusting you are fully re-
covered from your recent shock in the
nark, I remain, yours with respect,
"PERCY GRANVILLE."
Evelyn St. Claire could have struck
Little Gay down, she was so bitterly
angry at the happy light that flooded the
gil'l's thee. she knew quite as well as if
she bad read Gay's letter that Percy
Granville had made an appointment to
call.
The headache Gay had complained of
seemed to leave her as if by magic; and
her lovely dark eyes shone bright as
stars.
"Some one whom you 'know, Evelyn, is
to call upon me this evening," ,he said,
hiding her blushing face among the rones
in the silver vase beside her. "I do not
know whether I had better go to the
matinee with you this afternoon or net,
I really wish, Evelyn, that you would
excuse me."
"I shall no nothing of the kind," laugh-
ed Miss St. Claire. "It is a long time af-
ter the matinee is over until evening. I
shall not leave you by yourself to indulge
in day -dreams. You must come with me
to see the 'Mikado,""
Alas, it was an evil moment in which
Gay laughingly consented, at length, and
walked blindly into the pit that had been
dug for her unwary feet.
It had been with a very guilty fate in-
deed that Fanny, the maid, had met her
young mistress that morning, and de-
spite the money that nestled snugly in
her bosom, and the promise that she had
given the haughty 'heiress -to keep her
terrible secret, she could rcarcely repress
the longing to fling herself down at Lit-
tle Gay's feet and confess all.
She heard the order that she was to lay
out Gay's blue silk walking -dress -for she
was going to the matinee that afternoon,
with Miss St. Claire --with a perceptible
shudder.
She longed with all her heart to warn
Gay to look out for the treacherous
blonde.
The wary heiress, however, gave her no
such opportunity; she never left Gay for
a single moment alone.
Gay had not mentioned to Mrs. Reming,
ton that she intended going to the mat-
inee, and when ehe went to ides her good-
bye, the grand old lady was taking her
usual afternoon siesta, so she tiptoed
noiselessly out of the room again with-
out waking her, and joined Evelyn, who
was waiting her in a coupe at the door.
Evelyn threw her arms about her, and
quickly drew her into the vehicle, and
the door closed after her with a sharp
click.
To Gay's intense surprise, the curtains
of heavy silken teal -brown were closely
drawn, and a heavy odor of Mareehai-
Neil roses pervaded the coupe --from the
bouquet Evelyn carried.
"We shall have a very cozy ride, my
dear,',
said Evelyn, with a shrill laugh
that sounded strangely out of place.
"I have a call to make -I knew you
would not mind accompanying me, Gay,
we shall have plenty of time."
Evelyn exerted herself to' chat so gayly
that Gay never noticed how swiftly time
was flying, or the long distance they were
traversing, until the coupe came to a
sudden halt,
Here we are," cried Evelyn, "come in
with me."
She slipped her arm through Gay's, and
drew her innocent Victim,up the stone
steps and into the wide, dak ball, to the
meet piteous fate a young, girl ever met,
A small, dark, wiry Men had opened
the door for theme Gay did not notice
the peculiar look that passed, between
them.
Evelyn passed into the office er library,
Gay following her.
"What a etrange place," said Gey, BMW:
deringly, as she followed " Evelyn's ex-
ample by seating herself; "what in the
world can bring you hero, I wonder; This
room is so dark and grim I actually feel
uncomfortable in it. ou"must eat laugh
at me, Evelyn," she went on thoughtful-
ly. "but it seems to recall all the stories
1 have ever read of haunted houses; these
Paneled walls, dark painted ceilings, and
huge frowning book -cases,, together with
that dark -looking foreigner who admitted
us, actually frighten me. Do tell me,
Evelyn, what brings you here?" •
Evelyn's answer was out ,short,*by the
most unearthly, horrible sound that ever
fell upon mortal ears, a series of blooi -
curdling shrieks and piercing oriel that
fairly froze the blood in Gay's veins. No
words could portray what they were like.
She sprung to her feet with a gasp of
terror, and would have fled percipitately
out of the room and out of the house,
had not Evelyn clutched her firmly by
the white arm, holding her back by main
force, with gleaming, triumphant eyes.
"Don't • attempt to break • away from
here in such unpardonable aste,'
sneered Evelyn, contemptuously; "listen
and I will tell you why-• we are here."
"I -I am so afraid, Evelyn," gasped
Gay, piteously. "I pray you let ms hasten
away at once. I am faint -those awful
sounds. Oh—"
here -inhale the fragrant breath of
these roses and it will revive you," inter-
rupted Evelyn, catching up her bouquet,
and fairly burying Gay's white face in
it.
The bouquet •contained something more
than the fragrant, innocent breath of the
roses, which Evelyn was pressing so
steadily to her nostrils.
"Take them away!" gasped 'Gay, •tear-
ing frantically at the flowers with one
hand, while with the other she grasped
gropingly the back of an adjacent chair
for support.
Evelyn," she whispered wildly, "I -I -
eh, I see it all now; you have drugged
the roses. I am fainting-dying-I—
A deadly whiteness spread over poor
Little Gay's face, her limbs trembled.
The piteous entreaty in her Each"would
have melted any heart to pity save that
of her cruel rival and 'bitterest foe.
Gay's senses were fast becoming dazed,
but through it all she could hear Evelyn
St. Claire's sneering, discordant laugh,
and the beautiful luring blonde face
seemed to whirl about her.
The guilty heiress saw that the roses
hadmercy. done their work -poor Gay was at her
Then the mask of smiles she had as-
sumed so well dropped from her revenge-
ful face, and she turned upon Gay with
the wickedest laugh that ever, was heard
rippling over her crimson lips.
You are not going to die, Gttynell Es-
terbrook," she cried. "1, your rival, have
planned a fate a thousand times worse
titan that for you. I may as well tell
you the truth, girl," she went on merci-
lessly, retreating toward the door, back-
ward, like a writhing serpent. "I used a
clever ruse to lure you here. This is a
private asylum for the incurable in'iane;
their friends keep the howling, frenzied
creatures here until death relieves them
of the task of maintaining them; and in
these walls, where no cry ever penetrates
to the outer world, and amid. these 'fright-
ful wretches, you aro to stay until you
die, and the sooner you die the better."
"Evelyn!"
The name fell from Gay's white lips in
a low, wailing cry of mortal. terror, but
Miss St. Claire never heeded and went on
pitilessly: •
It was I who separated • ou fleaPercy
Granville so effectually; I'vc,wed epee I
would do it, and I have kept my vow of
vengeance!"
CHAPTER YXYIII.
Who can port'ay the horror of the efts, -
tion -the pitiful anguish of Little Gay as
she realized the foul conspiracy closing
in around her.
Like the eharp thrust of a dagger. every
word her revengeful foe uttered fell upon
her bleeding heart,

moved from you forever, let me tell you

"Now listen to the sequel which cul-

tiful, treacherous blonde; "weary and
heart -broken, Percy Granville hats turned
to me -at last -for sympathy, and on the
20th of the coming month I am to be his

she cried, "he has asked me to become

soon will do.

call upon the young girl he had rescued
in the park a few days previous, little
dreaming it was you whom he believed

mockingly. "It is the maddest folly, at-
tempting to plead or pray to me," she
went on, as Gay sunk down on her knees
holding out her white arms imploringly,
and vainly endeavoring to utter one arti-
culate word, the agony of death on her
lovely face.
With a horrible laugh, Evelyn turned
from her hapless victim, gathered up her
silken train in her jeweled hands, and
swept swiftly from the room; and. unable
to cry out, stir hand or foot, or utter any
moan, Gay heard the door eloee after

z BROAD statement—Yet literally true. The aim of man from the
beginning has been to make his building materials as nearly like nat-
ural stone as possible. The great labor required to quarry stone led
him to seek various manufactured substitutes. The only reason he ever
used wood was that it was easiest to get and most convenient to use.
Wood Is no longer easy to get. Like most building material, its cost i3 in-
creasing at an alarming rate.
The cost of concrete is decreasing. So, from the standpoint of either ser-
vice or economy, Concrete is the best building material,
Canada's farmers are using more concrete, in proportion to their numbers,
than the farmers of any other country. Why?
Because they are being supplied with
C{i nada Cement
Without this label it is
not "Canada' Cement.
a cement of the highest possible quality, which in.
sures the success of their concrete work.
The secret of concrete's popularity in -Canada lies in
the fact that while we have been advertising the use
of concrete, we have also been producing, by scien-
tific methods, a cement so uniformly high in quality
that the concrete made with it gives the complete
satisfaction our advertisements promised.
Concrete would not have been in such universal use
today, had ran inferior grade of cement been supplied.
Insist upon getting Canada Cement. It is your best
assurance of thoroughly satisfactory results from
your concrete work. There is a Canada Cement
dealer in your neighborhood. •
