The entire village is trying to marry him. There is- talk of the doctor's daughter, a common Ifttle- thing." When she had gone, Elinor, a little faint and dizzy, went out on the ter­ race. She realized that the barrier be­ tween Ward and herself was not only of his faith ngninst her utvhellef. There was the insurmountable gulf between his world and her world. She did not fit into his life. Into his arm, perhaps; Into his life--never. * /•» Walter would try to get the money.

Tl|$n the police would have to come out by train or motor. With the best of lock, it would be four o'clock before the pearl could be recovered. There were a dozen possibilities; the chief might be out of town; the pearl might be recovered from the box without his assistance. In. that case he would not hold to his agree­ ment with Boroday. She tried to head Walter off, but she could not locate him. At none of his various haunts could she find him by telephone; he was not at the Dago's; at the taxicab office be was said to be laid off for the day. As the white clouds of the afternoon turned to flame in the sunset, Elinor's face grew set and hard. Tm not blind. m get hint for this!" That Was what he had said. He would go after the money that night, and there was murder in his heart. Old Henriette, watching Elinor's set face, grew fretful. She squealed If a door slammed; brought food that Elinor could not eat, and finally, divin­ ing a crisis, tried stealthily by tele­ phone to locate Talbot or Lethbridge and failed. "You'd better eat a bite or two," she entreated. Elinor's nerves, too, were on edge. • "I don't want It," she said.. * i >*ust a little soup!" T "If you bring that tray here again I shall throw it out of the window." f Henriette was cheered. Elinor, Whlteltpped and speechless, Was alatin- lng. Elinor in one of her rare rages was reassuring. seven o'clock Elinor knew what sie must do; go to Ward, tell him what she feared, and how she knew. She was not craven, but her very soul *fas sick. She sought about for some way to evade the issue or to postpone It, and finally she struck on one. On plain note paper she scrawled a little note In a feigned hand: "An attempt will be made tonight to •icure the fund raised at the morning service. Be advised and give it to someone else to keep overnight." But she realized before she had fin­ ished it the uselessness of such an at­ tempt. Ward would not transfer a danger. The night had fallen. A line of cars Oram the country clu£ was carrying town people and villagers home to the late dinners of the golf season. Groups of girls and men In summer garments, chatting gayly, passed under the wail of her garden. Down In the valley straggling lines of evening church- goers move<J decorously toward the churches. A ragged child stood In* the road below her garden and wept. Elinor ran down to him, and took him up In her arms. When she had soothed him she felt quieter, bbe went Into the house and put on her hat There *was no message from Talbot, no word of Huff. Evening service was over when she reached Saint Jude's. The last strag­ gler had gone, and Ward was not in Might She avoided the street lights. 8he felt quite sure that Walter was in the vicinity, his keen eyes missing nothing. He had put his hand on her before •be knew he was near. "Worshiping again I" he jeered. "I have not been In the church." Her quick mind was scheming desper­ ately ahead. "I have been alone this evening. When you did not come, 1 He swung her around. 1 "You were looking for me?" " "I thought you might be here.

If he were roused, he might be dangerous. Don't take chances; don't think, because be la a churchman--" She was talking against time. She bad her plan now. "I can take care of myself." said Huff sullenly. But he kept his place beside her as she started back. Her solicitude was for him, then. She cared, after alL But it wouldn't do to unbend too much. Elinor had treated blin with a high hand. His very pulse ached with her nearness, but be did not touch her. ^'jHe left her without even a hand- "lijasp. * ' "You might wish me luck." "I wish you safety," she replied. He flood down in the road, and watched ber shadowy figure threading its -way along the garden paths. He had u Wild Impulse to run after her, to kneel in the earth at her feet and cry out for her old tenderness, for her wist- ftil-eyed caresses. Then, Into his sus­ picious young heart crept the vision "I shall warn him," she had said. Huff's moutil was UurU lie turned and walked down the hill. CHAPTER X. t i » - . » ' , , , "fMo and through her garden Elinor walked quietly until she was safe from surveillance. Then she ran swiftly, ruthlessly across the flower beds, through the roses. The terrace was lighted. She avoided it, making a de­ tour that led by a si'1*1 entrance into old Hi jury's liomry. For obvious lfca- sous, old Hilary's private telephone wns in a sound proof closet. Before Walter had taken a hundred watchful patfes down the. road she had Ward at the other end of the line. What with running and terror, she could hardly speak. Once, long ago, she had heard a discussion be­ tween Boroday ^aft'd her father about the use of the; telephone. Its sub­ stance was that whfcn th& transmitter is held to the chest a clear message may be sent, but with the effect of dis­ tance. She held the transmitter to her breast then, and It seemed to haf that Ward must hear the throbbing of her heart. "Hello, hello!" came his quick re­ sponse. • No.need to ask who It was. She knew every inflection of his voice. ••This is--a friend," Elinor panted. "I want to tell you something." "Yes?',' Very incisive now. "Tohight--very soon--an attempt--" She stopped. What was she doing? She, her father's daughter, the head of the band! By warning Ward she might be sending Walter to his death. A vision of old Hilary, gray-headed, keen-eyed, at this very telephone, flashed into her mind, old Hilary, whose religion had been of keeping the faith, not with bis God, but with his men. "Who are you?" The impatient voice was saying In her ears. "Are you sure you want me? This is Ward, of Saint Jude's." Elinor quietly hung up the telephone transmitter, ahd stood in the darkness, her hands to her throat. Old Henriette, ever watchful, came Into the library beyond. Elinor could hear her wandering about knew the moment when she discovered her wrap 'on a chair, heard her plaintive -Voice Speaking through - a, window k to the empty terrace. "Miss Elinor," shg^alled. "Miss Elinor!" *' ri, Elinor let her go. When be# shuf­ fling footsteps had died away, Elinor ; Can Take Care of Myself.** any place else in the world. Did any­ one ever hear of an assistant rector going about with a fortune In bis hand?" He followed her into the library and placed the box on the great table where old Hilary had been wont to divide the annual earnings of the band. Ward pointed to It with his humorous smile. "Would anyone suspect," he said, "that in that box there is a stone par­ ish house, a new church organ. And * e]v'Mrrtr»'s giorfud?" Then, glancing at -her, with keen eyes, he was struck by her pallor. "You to ask me If I am tired!" he cried, "Why, you poor child, it is you who are worn out. Wouldn't It be bet­ ter to have me come tomorrow and go over the things you--spoke about?" "I think we had better talk about .them now," said Elinor, desperately calm. ' : At a quarter before eleven that Sun­ day night, old HenWette, bent on her evening task of sending Elinor to bed, wandered into the library. She found Ward, his earnest face glowing, ex­ pounding the tenets of his faith from the edge of his "chair; and Elinor ly­ ing back with her face drawn, watch ing the clock on the mantel. Old Henriette, astounded, withdrew, not to sleep, but with the wakeful alertness of old age, to wander up and down the garden paths until such time as Elinor's visitor might leave. ^Vard suddenly realized that he was making small headway. When at last he caught Elinor's eyes on the clock he flusii^ and rose. "I've done It all very badly," be said. "I seem to 'wander all about and not get anywhere. You see It's all so real to me--" Elluor had leaned back with closed eyes. "It is oil very terrible to me," she replied. "This God of vengeance-^-" "This God of tenderness and inet-cy,** Ward supplemented. "Don't you see whnt It all means? How terrible this life would be If this were all! Our little lives, full of Jealousies and hatreds and crimes: I bringing that box, over there on the tnble, up here with me tonight, because I dare not trust it to my fellow men; I who could not sleep last night for thinking of you, who are all that Is good and sweet and tender, up here alone In this great house, with God knows what danger lurking about." Elinor had reached her limit. The band of her self-control snapped. She could not hold him much longer, and before he went he must know. "When I sent for you," she said, "I had two reasons. I wanted to see you. Pleased" As he took a step toward her. "And I wanted to save you from something that I know of." ' (TO BE CONTINUED.) T Out on the summit of the Rocky mountains, where the Union Pacific railroad crosses the backbone of the continent,, workmen are now prepar­ ing to move a huge pyramid of granite, erected 37 years ago to the memory of Oakes Ames and Oliver Ames, the con­ structors of President Lincoln's great steel highway to the Pacific. Through a change in the line, built for the purpose of eliminating unnec- s*ry mileage and for cutting down the grade, the Ames monument was left standing alone nearly five miles from the new tracks. The Ames monument Is unique among monuments. It stands on one of the most lofty eminences ever chosen for such a purpose and com­ memorates the name of the men whose constructive genius carried the first Oakes Ames, Builder. railway over the Rocky mountains, a feat, which at the time, held the adml* ration of the world. The driving of the golden spike at Promontory point, which linked' the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific on May 10, 1869, Is the event most prominently fixed in the minds of the American people, for it was on that day that the entire nation celebrated with the firing of military salutes and the ringing of bells and many parades. But 'the real task was conquering the mountains. The executives of the Union Pacific railroad end the leading citizens in the states through which the railroad runs have paused long enough from the 8tress and cares of the world war to pay this tribute to sentiment, for the reason that this year marks a half cen­ tury since the audacity and courage of Oakes Ames and Oliver Ames brought the mountains to the will Of man. When the rails of the Union Pacific were first spiked to the ties over Sher­ man pass, at a height of over 8,000 feet, the work was considered one of the wonders of the world. A facetious punster in congress referred to the Pa­ cific railroad as "the Colossus of Rhodes," and one of.'•the. famous rail­ road men of that day, speaking of the task Oal^es Ames had undertaken, said: "Only a madman would try such a job." Today this pass Is the lowest in the Rocky mountains and known to railroad engineers as an "easy grade." At the same time that the Ames monument is being moved to a new pedestal, engi­ neers for the Union Pacific railroad are driving a second tunnel under ^he mountain at the top of Sherman pass, thus without fuss, and as though in the ordinary course of events, build­ ing the first double-track across the ^Rookies--the highest continuous piece "of double-track In the world. These two events, the driving of the new tunnel, and the relocating of the Ames monument, are in the nature of celebrations of the great work of these pioneer railroad builders, and it is fit­ ting also that it should be done In this war-year, because the Union Pa­ cific railroad was America's first and only military railroad. ' Monument of Qranlte. The Ames monument Is built of gran­ ite'in the form of a pyramid, 60 feet square at the base and 60 feet high. It will be taken down a stone at a time ancl carried on wagons and "snow- boats" across the five miles of moun­ tain crest to Its new site, just east of the station at Sherman.* On one side of the monument is a bronze medallion of Oliver Ames, on the other a medal' lion of Oakes Ames. Mr. Oliver Ames of Boston, grand-* son of the great railfoad builder of the same name, who visited the Site of the monument some years ago, said, aftfer bis visit: "The carving on the medallion on the northwest side Is somewhat worn from facing the storms for nearly forty years, but the one of Oakes Ames on the southwest side is in just as good condition as it was when it came from Evans' shop on Huntington avenue.** NOW MAKE ARTIFICIAL MILK M took the receiver down again, and. called the assistant rector's house. But this time she spoke directly into the transmitter. "This fs Elinor Kingston, Mr. Ward. I wonder if you are very tired to­ night?" v "I? Tired? I'm never tired." "Because I am thinking of asking you to come up. I--there are senn^ things I want to talk about, questions that are troubling me. I know it Is late, but--" "I saw you at the early service. Of course I'll come up." He had seen her then! "I'll do my best," he was saying. "Of course, you know I may disappoint you. These questions, that come from within, must be answered in the same way. But I'm coming at once." Elinor's battle was only hnlf fought but she had a jjreat sense of relief. Let him meet Walter on the way.. So much the better. Let Huff know that Ward was out, and the offering pre­ sumably unguarded. He might hate the man, btft no hope of a running fight with him would deter him from his main object the money. To save Ward, she was willing, even anxious, to let Walter succeed. Women sometimes meet large Crises with small vanities. But Elinor had no vanity. Without so much as a glance at the mirror she Went out In­ to the garden to listen for Ward's step on the road. She knew his walk al ready; the forceful, certain step of an energetic and purposeful man. The illuminated dial on the steeple of the Baptist church showed some­ thing after ten when Ward finally came up the hill. The relief of seeing him unharmed sent Elinor down the terrace steps with both hands out Before he could take them. Ward was obliged to stoop and deposit on the ground at her feet a small box that be carried. "The morning collection," he said smlling/uud took her bauds in his. Her quick alarm showed in ber face. "But you are reckless! To go about with so much money--" Ward way following her up the Manufacturers in England Have Pro­ duced Substitute 8o Perfect That Creahn Rises on It.

The important district town of PInsk, with a population of 37,000 before tJie outbreak of the European war, nearly two-thirds of whom were Jews, is de­ scribed in a bulletin issued by the Na­ tional Geographic society following the news that the city has been set on fire by the Russians in their effort to drive out the Germans who captured It two years ago. "In the midst of the great swamps through which, the Prlpet river seeps toward the Dnieper, Plnsk was an Im­ portant Industrial center at the begin­ ning of the world war, Its factories for the manufacture of Russian leather be­ ing famous, while its output of oils, soaps, beer, pottery, lumber and matches was considerable. Ruined by Railroads.' "Contrary to the usual trend of prog­ ress, railroads have caused Plnsk's commerce to decline, for when the steel arteries of trade began to thread the poliessle (forest land) district of the province of Minsk they diverted much of the water-borne traffic which for­ merly passed through this town. Plnsk was an exchange point for trade with Germany and Poland via the Dnieper- Bug canal, with the fertile Dneiper val­ ley via the Prlpet river, and with the Baltic provinces and the Nlemen river •alley via the Oglnsky canaL Invent Gaeoline Locomotives. Gasoline locomotives have been in* vented In England that are safe to use in coal mines, their ignition taking place within tight boxes and their ex­ haust through water. "Since 1872 the Russian government has been more or less active in re­ claiming much ot the swamp land which surrounds Plnsk, and It was es­ timated that 20 years ago fully. 8,000,- 000 acres had been drained at a cost of not more than 3 shillings to the acre. This drained land increased in value from 4 rubles to 28 rubles per dessya- tin (equivalent"to 2.7 acres). "Plnsk is situated on the Plna river, a tributary of the Prlpet, and Is 105 miles by rail east of Brest-Lltovsk. Minsk, the capital of the province or 'government* of Minsk, is 190 miles to the northeast by rail. Has Been Ravaged by War. "Plnsk first figured in the chronicles of medieval Europe at the end of the eleventh century, when It was a pos­ session of a prince of Kiev. In the fol­ lowing century it was annexed to the principality of Minsk, and after the Mongol Invasion of 1232 it became the chief town of Its own principality. "The present war is not the first oc­ casion when Plnsk has been ravaged by fire and sword. During the terrible uprising of the Cossacks under Bog- dan Chmielnlckl, instigator of the in­ describably horrible 'serfs* fury,' it was captured by the Poles, and 14,000 of Its people were put to the sword and the torch applied to 5,000 homes. Less than a decade later (1648) it was burned by the Russians, just as in the present catastrophe. Then came Charles XII, 58 years later, and re­ duced both the town and its suburbs to ashes, for the third time. "Plnsk became a Russian town in 179&,* Order Railway Equipment.

This new drug is an ether compound discovered by a Cincinnati chemist. It is called freezone, and can now be obtained in tiny bottles as here shown at very little cost from any drug store. Just ask for freezone. Apply a drop or two directly upon a tender corn or callus and Instant­ ly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift it off, root and all, with the fingers. Not a twinge of pain, soreness or irritation; not even the slightest smart­ ing, either when applying freezone or afterward^ This drug doesn't eat up the Corn or callus, but shrivels them so they loos­ en and come right out. It Is no humbug! It works like a charm. For a few cents you can get rid of ev­ ery hard corn, soft corn or corn between the toes, as well as pain­ ful calluses on bottom of your feet. It never disappoints and never burns, bites or inflames. If your druggist hasn't any freezone yet, tell him to get a little bottle for yo.u Stum bis wholesale honse.--adv. Decorating a Savage.
