Joe, stunned into silence and with round eyes, as, oompanied them. "I'm going to adopt him," was all the explanation of his presence Donald 'had given, He was again as unreadable -as a mollusk, and Arno could almost :believe the scene in the breaker bad been of her iniagiuing. Hours afterward, as she sat in the rainy dusk writing an impassioned ac- count of the day, a faint knock sounded -•on her door. Doualci stood outside, very pale, an unusual oagerukss in his man- ner. "If you want to see what a mine looks like, Miss Garrick, this will be your only chance. The sheriff and his men have come over with militia, and for the past hour the engines have been go- ring, pumping down air, you know. 'They think that perhaps Red Evans is biding there," • "But could he? How could he get down if the cage wasn't working?" "You see, besides the cage there's an iron bar—a sort of ladder 'with flat ,prongs laid upon it, the whole only half as yard wide. This goes down through a separate opening. It's put there as a !precaution in case of explosions or in- jury to the cage, but it's a matter of life and death to use it. A desperate ,man, however, wouldn't hesitate to take the one chance. The sheriff fancies Red Evans may bo clinging to the bar a good way down beyond sight, yet not too far from the air. I don't believe it. It's almost absurd. But they're go- ing down and will take us along. . "All right," said Anne. "Bot I vou't tell Dr. Ericsson. He might be nervous." Twenty minutes later they were :again at the mile. The scene was nun tmated now. Lauterus like the eyes of uncanny animals shot from one point to another in the falling night. .A line of :.soldiers coutrolled the swell of the ..mountain, and above the strikers, with their families, sullenly watched. From • wooden sheds came the braying of :mules. Four men stood near the cage, which resembled a huge brass boiler with a round opening for air at a man's height. The hissing and throbbing of engines and the sound of many voices :filled the valley with life. Anne's fingers were unsteady as she put on the miner's protecting outfit. This was a rubber blouse to her knees and a wide brimmed, glazed hat, a lit- tle oil lamp flickering in front just above the brim. "Ready!" said the sheriff, and the wire rope throbbed. _ The cage shot down with tremendous speed. Tile 1agope on the hate flared in .the gust through the oircular opening in the wall. It was a breathless, anxious descent. Anne closed her eyes and stood like one in a trance until the journey was completed. When by Donald's side she stepped into the underworld, an overwhelming 'depression seized her. She had not dreamed how the knowledge of being 2,000 feet beneath the ground ebe trod so lightly could chill a heart. The rank, moist place smelled of death,. She gazed at the jagged ceiling of coal upheld by tremendous tree trunks planed at regu- lar distances and forming a rude aisle, the fungus on props and beams, the sluggish pools in every depression, the empty mule carts and discarded picks. Just where the bat lamps flung their beams there was light, and beyond lay appalling mystery. "You'd better sit on this knoll." .And Donald, circling his lantern over his head, showed ger the up hill recesses of a vast worked out chamber. "I'll go with the men down this gangway a bit. We'll not be far away. See, they're looking in the mule carts. I'd like to be on the spot if they get him. I want :his 'face." "I'll be alone here!" was Anne's in- ward exclamation. "You won't be long," she said and sat down, apparent. .ly calm. "We're just going down this asaan• ,Biliousness and Torpid Liver Headache and stomach troubles are thoroughly cured by Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. Ma.

I was troubled a great deal with 'these ailments before using Dr. Chase's Kidney. Liver Pills, and they have proven wonderfully 1 :successful in my cast. way." £ud Donald turned away, his fingers tingling to sketch her as she sat there, the light flaring above her eyes. Ten minutes passed. Anne saw the men entering into the virions hewn chambers, plunging their lanterns into clumsy carts, leaping into pits. Her heart seemed to have ceased beating. She found herself waiting for a cry of triumph and fancied the searchers drag- ging out a struggling, stormy browed figure, the murderer at bay. Then an uulooked for thing happened. Without warning the moving throng of figures turned a corner, and she was alone in silence save for the dropping of water, in darkness save for the light upon her hat. She seemed to become stone surrounded by an atmosphere of horror. This paralyzing spell broke, and her blood crept in cold currents around her epiue, for up in the black hollow be- hind her she heard a quick breath, then another, and a piece of coal tinkled down the declivity to her feet. The breathing came closer. It was just be- hind her now. There was a step, and she knew a horror unnamable stood at her back. She did not turn or move tbe stiff fingers clasping her knee or flicker an eyelid. She was roused from the thrall of ter- ror by a sight to haunt her while she lived. A man groveled before her, his supplicating clutch upon her knee. The nnoertaiu flame of her lamp flung blue splashes into the hollows of his face. His red hair was glued to his throat. Te red streaked flannel shirt was open to the waist, showing his bairy chest. Mildew and coal black covered him. There was a' mortal huuger in his glance. She was gazing at Red Evans and he was praying for his life, but praying was a mild word for the spurt- ing whispers from his gaping mouth as his eyes shot from right to left in fear of the returning hunters. "Didn't set out for to kill Hinkley, as God hears me, miss. No, 'twas fair fight, an he drew me mad. I flung the stone. I didn't believe him dead till he fell back wi' the blood bnbblin from him. I been hidin here for two days, starvin on that ladder, 'tween earth an hell, crawled clown when the engines begun to work, been Iyin on my face up here ever sauce. They'll bang me. Don't let 'am. Help me. I've had a hard life eno' 'thout hangin at the end o't. Oh," and the word was a. long shudder, "my God, for one chance! I never had noan. One chance—one." It seemed to Anne as if a great length of time had passed, as if herself and her life were myths, and nothing in all the world was as positive as this man's misery and his olaiva. She sat motionless with strained, bright eyes. He had taken another's life, it was clear. She was a newspaper woman, face to face with an important opportu- nity. If she gave the murderer to his pursuers, The Citizen would have gained a story unshared by its rivals. As a newspaper woman she should make the most of this moment. She hesitated. The man's eyes looked up at her like a famished dog's. As a newspaper wom- an, yes, but as a woman, no. She sprang up, fired by the desire to save bim. His eyes were terrible as he crouched in the slime at her feet. He had suffered enough. "Cowe along," she said, her voice harsh with fear as a man's laugh dis- tantly awakened echoes in the caverns. "They've already searched the mule carts. Climb into this one. They won't look again. Lie down low, so. I'll put my cloak over you. Try to breathe more softly. Hush, they're coming." Donald hurried toward her first and found hor sitting where he bad left her. "Wagner said he'd come back end stay near you," he said hurriedly as he wiped his brow. "I've just found out that he sneaked on, the little beast." "Did you find any trace of Evans?" she managed to ask. "No, he's not here. They might have known that. You're shivering. Why, where's your cloak?" "Say nothing about that," she said in sudden fear, springing up. "Manage to have the others go up first. I'll ex- plain after. They must go up first. Leave me here." The cage had been very crowded coin- ing down, and when every worked out recess bad been searched the men were glad to let the newspaper people wait for a second trip. "Well, that's settled," Anne heard a man say. his throaty tones inflated with satisfaction. "He ain't in the mine, he ain't on the ladder, and d—n him wher- ever he is." The cage Leaped beyond her sight. Donald, with the ineffectual light mak- big big shadows leap around bim, came town the alley and stood before her. He knew some disclosure was trembling on her lips. "We're alone now," he said. "You ook awful. Take a little." He held out is flask of whisky, and Anne greedily swallowed a mouthful. It revived her and made her brave again. She listened to the breaking of the wire ropes, but instead of fear her ayes flashed with determination. " going to trust you,Donald Id Se- fain," she said slowly, rising and touch- ing bis arm. "Tett, I'm going to trust ren. I believe in your pity And your honer." His ey'alt answered her; he held kid breath.

Anne pressed her bands upon his shoulders, the divinity of a mediator iu her eyes. A lived of feeling trickled over Deu- ' ald's heart, something never felt before— , a pain, an ecstasy, a fire loosening some callous growth and seeming by a mira- cle to turn it to sunshine within him. "Yes, yes," be said, the perplexing joy still controlling him. "What can we do?" "There's only one way Red Evans ran escape," she continued feverishly. "I've money with mc. I'll give it to him. But that doesn't help matters while he's hidden here. The only way he can leave the mine unquestioned is by putting on your blouse and hat and taking your place when I go up. Once he's freed, I'll return, for yon, This is my plan—to pretend I lost some money and come back with these things I wear secreted under my own cloak for you, to slip them to yon, have you put them on, step out unnoticed and join the searchers for tbo money. It will be easy enough. All men look alike in these things, and with the collar np and one's face turned away they make a good disguise. But should there be any com- ment you'd have to insist that you camp down with me the second time. Are you willing? Will you risk it? I promise to return for yon." In answer Donald took off the long blouse and hat and saw Anne's eyes darken with gratitude. She pointed to the mule cart. "He's there, and you'll need to give bim some whisky; he's so weak." After putting out the light upon his hat, which had begun to flicker, Donald stepped across an oozing stream and leaned over the cart. "Evans! Evans! Look np, man! Here's your chance. This bat and blouse" — He broke off abruptly. "Why doesn't be answer?" He bent nearer and touched the head and face of the hidden man. "Oh, if he's fainted bow can wo save bit? There isn't a moment," whispered .Anne in a frenzy of feay. Donald climbed into the zrllle cart and plunged down. "He's dead !" The words rang out. The echoes car- ried them and played with them in a ghastly way. No need of plans, sacri- fice, danger. Freedom and the hangman were alike impossible and indifferent to Red Evans now. Anne saw Donald's face lifted, touched by the awe always following the wake of the great mystery, but only for a few seconds before her lamp went out with a long leap, as if protesting against some new, uncanny presence, and they were in darkness with the dead. Anne sank down, her folded arms resting against a wet wall. Everything seemed to slip into a mist; she felt numbed, vanquished, when, like a promise of good, Donald's groping hand sought hers and held it firmly. They did not speak. It was a burden even to think of the horrors surrounding them, the masses of coal not far above their heads creaking like a lazy monster set- tling himself, the whimpering of flying rats and the knowledge that beside them lay a dead man, a look of affright on his face. After awhile it became evident that something delayed the return of the cage. Hours seemed to Drawl by as they to rest after Soared hardship seemed riving way to grief, .and Las weak body collapsed. Ile was in Donald's home, a trio of small scorns in a street a short distanoe front The Citizen. They were cheap apartmcuts, hut hopefully clean, presid- ed over by a "Ione" woman, Mrs. Mnl- ligau, who lived en the flour beneath. ' Anne often went home with Donald. in the quick sinter ducks, and, step- ping from the hull into the firelight, ebe would feel as if summer had come across the suow and kissed her. The , room was always sweet smelling from a bunch of flowers, the kettle always singing, the lamp shaded. "Ab, Jce, dear, if yez bad .seen me whin I was youug!" she had surprised Mrs. Mulligan saying once as sbe knit- ted, bide the pillowed chair where Joe reelint:d, pale from the languor of un- healthy sleep. "There was a sight for ye! The girls of today with their crotched in bodies and white cheeks stuck to the bene—what are they? Ab, aviek, girls were different in moy toimeI Why, I shtud 14 stone, weighed in me stockings. Me hair sbtud out loike eaves en both soides of me head, alau- ea, 'twas so thick. As fer me cheeks," she added in climactic triumph, "they sbtuek out loike apples and were that red ye cud bleed them with a shtraw." On nights like these Douald's nature seemed to expand and exult. He sur- prised Anue by his humor, his mocking grace as host, his boyish play with Joe, a the rest he had grown content to tear principles to rage, revel iu the mud, live Sir the moment and go with flags flying to ruin and death. "Why didu't you try to do well?" ; Anne asked urgently. li "I was afraid," he said in a lifeless ° tone. "I thought it wouldn't is for me a with the inherited tendeucies of which I was so constantly reminded. Besides, no one cared. That was it. It's all well ; enough to talk of doing right, but when your iustiuct leads you to the wrong and there's not a soul on earth to caro a pin if you're fished ont of the river, a boy—at least most boys—would get into an easy stride on the wrong read." "No, you needn't have gone," she said passionately. "I'm not tryiug to excuse myself." "But'you're not hopeless, are you?" ! "I don't know," he said slowly. "1 I ought to be. I have been. But tonight R somehow I wish I could begin over agaiu." He heard a sob. All Anne had felt during the trying day and the pathos of ! this confidence bad touched her beyond . endurance. She wept unrestrainedly from a full heart. She could not see ! Donald's eyes nor how they grew intent kaud unbelieving. It seemed impossible that he should hear a woman's sobs for him, tears for bim. They were terrible and racked him, but they were sweet too. Before be could fully accept the won- derful occurrence as true and before Anne could coutrol herself to speak the grating of the wire ropes in the shaft cautiously commeuced. A light spraug into Donald's face, and despite the opposing forces tearing him like teeth he pressed her hand and said iu a whisper that was slow and difficult : "If I do make auytbiug of myself, if I ever do, it won't be because it's right nor for society, nor even for shame of what I am, but for you." When they entered the cage, Anne's tear swolleu face needed no explanation. To have been kept in a mine for au hour without a light because part of the machinery had slipped its groove and to have chanced upon Red Evans dead was enough to unnerve any woman. Only Anne and Donald ever knew the truth of tbat hour. They stepped into the night and saw the moon filling the place with phosphoric light, making a glory of the drenched earth. More mar- velous than this white atmosphere of peace after the stormy day was the friendship which bad put forth sudden flower in silence and night. CHAPTER VIII. ' By the middle of December even the most careless in the office of The Citizen had connuented upon the change in Donald Sefain. He was no longer the voluntary recluse, a naau parading bis vices, eager to be judged by thein aloue. He bad learned to believe in his possi- bilities. His fettered nature, feeding on all that was rotten, had risen like a dazed, huugry thing following an in- stinct for better food and freedom. .Am- bition, a rebellious prisoner always, bad revived in him after he had striven to crucify it. It called to him iu the long nights, in his lonely walks, and its voice was somehow Aune's: "What 'have you cone with your life?" The assertion of his best instincts had 5 left their marks upon the onter man. His antagonism and gloom had almost . vanished; so bad his untidiness and air of general dissoluteness. Ile carried himself better, his clothes were better, r and they were worn as if he respected them and himself. As his hebits mended and his work steadily improved David Temple treated him as a worker whom he prized. A j closer degree of intimacy between the two men seemed impossible. They saw �! each other seldom, save iu tho office. But Anne was the friend of both. David visited her less ofteu than in 1 the summer, his engagements were so many, but every hour he could spare was spent iii her pretty, out of the way rooms. He let the social mask fall when with her as with no ono else. Any one seeing him pacing up and down ber ! room, a privileged cigarette between his • fingers, as he indulged in brilliant non- sense, laughiug like a boy when he • pulled her pet theories to bits as if he blew away loose rose petals, would scarcely have kuown him. Anne loved these boars with him, and her happiness went with her, ab- sorbing her thoughts to the detriment of the art so dear to her. The pen lay dry upon the sheets of ger novel. She no longer struggled against the passion- ate effacement of self in another's be- ing. She did not torment her heart by looking for a growing love in David's eyes. She was couteut to drift. It was evident to all he was very fond of her. Ile sought ber familiarly. She knew nothing of his life beyond the small horizon of her own, and, feeling an an- ticipative joy which seemed to melt her future with his, she was couteut.

Then something happened that seem- ed to Anne beyond belief. Donald in hesitating tones began speaking of him- self. To see the lips of the sphinx melt WAS a smile could scarcely have been more astounding to her. She listened, understanding how the nights and sounds of that terrible day and the in- timate hand clasp its the blackness had aroused the inner self be so consistently silenced.

Sometimes when ]; e read aloud after dinner and Mrs. Mnl- ligau sat motionless as a sphinx save for tbe darting needles, Anue knelt on the floor, her arms around the boy. His feverish month would creep close to her ear and he would tell her how he loved Mr. Sefaiu and how he was never to go back to the mines, never. Anne would assure him of this while holding him to her and kissing him in a little storm of love, and then her eyes would rove over bim, Isis hands with no more substance than claws, dry and hot, his hungry eyes seeming to hold life like a picture before them in an endeavor to see all traickly before the short day ended. It was Donald who showed Anne some of the singular sides of the city's life. During this season of pore frost when the electric wires spanning the city were turned iuto glacial ribbons and the noise of traffic on the frozen ground was like the clamor from brass, she often fouud herself treading the narrow, uphill streets in the lower quarter of the city to see some marvelous "End" of his. Once it was an old Russian musician, a political exile. The room they found !aim iu was wretched, but in a corner stood a samovar of copper fit for a prince's table. This and the Amati on the old man's knee were the only visible relics of a sumptuous past. Bending over the decaying fire, he had played for them wild and terrible music, which awoke strange fancies. It seemed to whisper of a spirit haunting a familiar but empty house, where moonlight streamed through the bare windows; it (To he continued.) SUCCESSFUL MOTHERS.
