Finer han any Japan, Kor SAL Ar or PART III, Rose had planned to spend her two weeks' vacation at a nearby lake, with a merry party of her father's distant ; cousins, Now she decided to go on farther, to Lawton, and to stop at i Lake Cynthia on the way back. Law- { ton was 200 miles beyond Lake Cyn- thia, on the same road. She would tell her cousins to expect ber some time during the day. Then she would leave Yorke on the early train and get back to the lake at 10 that night, The extra railroad fare would be frightfully expensive. She would have to do without the white hat and shoes that she had wanted to buy. When the day came, and she kissed Ellen good-bye at 6 o'clock in the, morning, she felt a pang of guilt, It 'was her first planned deception. The journey was not tiresome, for she was not used to traveling, and the changing view from the car window. { delighted her; but when she found | . herself actually on the street of the | . strange town, she wanted to flee. She | did not know Lawton. Her last rela- . tive there had died when she was a "baby. She started up the main business street. She did not want to provoke 'curiosity by inquiring. + The office of the Eagle was not hard 6 find. It was a gray, dusty-windowed building wedged in between a grocery and a hardware store. She went in. : ce was fenced off for visitors. nd it stood a safe and a large, lit- tered desk. Beyond was a 'door lead- ing -to the. pressroom, whence came the odor of type and printer's-ink. A stooped. man appeared -in-the doorway. He wore an inky blue-and- white-striped apron, and he had not shaved his melancholy face for several days. "Anything I can do, miss?" "I wanted to see the proprietor." "He's eatin' his dinner. Better set down an' wait." Thank Heaven that was not Aaron Moore! Yet when he did appear, he was not . prepossessing. He banged in at the door, a square man inclined to stout- ness, sin baggy gray clothes, with a 'harsh, forbidding face; but at least he" was cleanly shaved, and at sight 'of a lady he grabbed off his felt hat. "What can I do for you?" The blue eyes that met hers were keen and impersonal. With his hat off, his head was like a lion's with a tousled shock of graying hair. "Are you Mr, Moore?" Rose inquir- ed, though she could hardly speak. "] am." "My name is Rose Walton." He waited courteously. "I'm Ellen Bigelow's daughter." There was a ripple under the mask.

Still in the same business, I suppose?" "My father died ten years ago." Rose wondered afterward what would have happened if 'Aaron Moore had not made the conversation. AM she could do was to answer questions. "Ten years ago!" mused the man. "I'm sorry to hear that, Miss Walton." Up to this time he had been stand- ing. Now he went behind the desk and sat down, #0 that all she could see was the leonine head and shoulders. "I'm sorry to hear that," he re- peated. "How time flies! So Ellen Bigelow has a girl as big as you!" "Yee." "You don't favor your mother." "No--I wish 1 did." "She was a nice-looking young lady. In fact"--the great head turned, and the eyes met Rose's squarely----"In fact, she was beautiful." "«f know she must have been, Mr. Moore, because--she is yet, But I -mustn't take any. more of your time. I just dropped in--" Rose got up 'uncertainly, = She did not know how to terminate the call.
