Riding home, einging, she is surprised to hear a man's voice call to her in the thickets, The man is Harry Glos- ter. She hides in the shadows and One night she slips from her will not let him approach her, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER VI.--(Cont'd:) It seemed to her now that she was seeing a man for the first time, And what a man he was! How he had stood forth in the schoolhouse dance hall among' the crowd! "I'll keep my promise," he was say- ing, "if you want to hold me to it. But it's sort of hard to talk to a tree this way." "I don't see why," Joan murmurei. "You can hear me--I can hear you." "It ain't the words that I mean," he insisted. "They're the least part of a talk." "What is it made up of, then?" "The way you turn your head, the] way you lift your eyes, the way you smile or ou frown, and the color of our hair, is a pile more important than a hundred words, the best words that ever come out of any one's mouth." She was silent, "Are you afraid to tell me your name" he asked. Still she did not speak, and she saw him drop his head a little and close his hands. "Listen to me," he said, almost sternly, "if you've run away from your husband and gone gadding tonight-- no matter what it is that makes you wint to keep it secret, Il keep that secret on my honor. But let me know enough so that I can find you again!" She saw the picture in vivid colors ~--this big fellow 'coming home to call on her, and Buck Daniels meeting him at the door; terrible Buck Daniels, in whose hands the metal and wood of a revolver became a living thing which could not fail to kill. "I can't tell you," she said. "But, if you don't, I'll never be able to find you. Yet I shall find you, #f I have to spend 10 years hunting. But --with only your voice to go on! Will you change your mind?" "I cannot," she cried, half sobbing. "I'd give ten years of my life for one look at you; but if I can't have that, will you sing the seng again for me?" cried the big man. Twice she tried the opening note, end twice her voige shook away. to nothingness and failed her. But then the sound arose very soft and yet clear as a bell ringing: "Que viva la rumba; Que viva, que viva placer; Que vivan las ninas, chulitas, bonitas, Y guapas que saben querer!"

CHAPTER VII There was an excellent reason for Harry Gloster had heard her horse break out of the shrubbery and, running to the place, he was in time to see the bay gelding, glistening in the moonshine, darting away at full speed. Even with an equal start he knew that he could not keep in touch with that And through a by night it was impossible to Yet he was so excited that for a time reason had nothing to do with He ran a short distance on foot before he realized his folly.

But he found that impulse was breaking through reason again. He had heard only her voice, but it was a voice to dream of--low, sweet-toned, gentle--and all the freshness of girl- hood was in it. She must be beautiful, he told himself, with such a voice as He was beginning to feel that an ugly fate had hold of him in this Haines had told him that Joe Mac- arthur was the name of the man he had knocked out, and Joe Macarthur would thunder south along the trail which a dozen people could point out to him.

For he had no desire to meet a man who was a professional in the He himself could occasionally hit a target--if it were large enough and he had time enough to aim with care, but this magic of swift drawing and murderous straight shooting combined was quite beyond him.

Up the steps he went, and into the hurly-burly of a dance which was just partner. As usual, there were three men for every two girls at this west- ern dance. Every girl was swept up in half a minute after a dance began, and still there were men along the walls and smoking on the steps, Harry Gloster went to the orchestra. Into the hand of the violinist Harry Gloster slipped a five 'dollar bill. "Switch back to 'Que viva Ja rum- ba' when you get a chance," he said, and walked hurriedlf away, for if he had stayed the old musician would doubtless have had pride enough to refuse the money. It was a tag dance which he was watching, a queer insti- tution installed particularly for shortage of girls, Once the dance was under way the men from thc sides worked onto the floor and touched the arms of those who were dancing with the girls of their ¢hoicé. And so there was, perforce, a change of partners, and many a girl found herself whirl: ing away in the arms of a man she had never known before. 8 Harry Gloster, from the side, watched the jumble of interweaving forms--saw the vain effort of dancing couples to elude the approach of the taggers--heard the uproar of laughter which almost drowned the strain of the waltz. - There was a brief pause in the music, then the orchestra struck into the pleasant rhythm of "Que viva la rumba," and the dance, which had hardly paused, started again more wildly than ever. Gloster, searching the faces, felt that they had been transformed. That old touch of magic which he had felt in his boyhood, now had returned. One dance, then away for the border! How should he choose? They all appeared delightful enough to' him now. onder one with red hair was tagged so often that she was repeated- ly whirling from the arms of one man to another, and yet her laughter never stopped? Should he touch her arm? And , there was another, slender, joyous--who changed partners often enough, but never lost her step. And here was a third with great, brown eyes and brown hair coiled low on her neck and dressed in a clinging mist of a gown like a sunset-tinted bit of cloud-- Instantly Harry Gloster, was through the press, moving with won- derful lightness for so large a man. He touched the arm of the man who danced with that pink-clad vision, and received fa stard of surprise from under level black brows. "Next time around, Nell," said he, stepping slowly back and still keeping | hig glance fixed upon Gloster. : "All right, John," she answered, and then was away in the arms of loster. : "Nobody was tagging you," he said. {coins and felt exalted when he placed] Pilot J, H.

Yet such isthe case, for the pious, charitable monk of Neamtu has turned out to be none other than the dreaded brigand Habue, on whose head a price of 5,000 It had been noticed that both monk and robber had peculiarly soft and gentle voices, and the survivors of encounters with the brigand had told the police, when relating their exper- iences and had been asked to rescribe the always masked leader of the bri- gands: "Why, he has a voice as sweet and soft as that of Brother Epure." .

When the monk returned toward daylight mounted on a large black horse they asked him to give an' account of himself, That ac- count not being satisfactory they charged him with being the robber Habue. The monk was successfully laughing off the accusation, when it was noticed that under his brown cas- sock he wore the costume of a moun- taincer.
