CHAPTER XJ--Continued. --1Q 4 He is sound asleep," she said smll- He thinks ' I am someone named 'Elinor,' and he calls me that As my own name is fearah, it's rather pleasant," Ward had b<*>n shot on Sunday .sS&iit. By the following Wednesday he was out of dangor. V* .On that §ame Wednesday the rector Saint .Tude% brought himself and fits rheuvuu tlsni hack to his parish. .. For three days Elinor had hardly slept or eaten. Never once had sh^ been in Ward's room, but always, day and night, she was just outside. When on that .Wednesday evening the itoetor mid Ward would live, she went tjowh .once more into her garden, i Many times during those |htee days had Elinor tried to pray to Ward's God and found herself voiceless and Inarticulate. But now, out of the depth of her great relief, came welling the first prayer of her life. She stood waist-deep among her phlox and lark- spur. *1 thank thee," she said. **I thank t h e e . " . . . Nothing had been heard of Huff. The assault on the assistant rector of Saint Jude's had been of a line with the other mysterious happenings around the village. The little'town was hag-ridden with fear. Extra con­ stables had been Mvorn in. and from the hall, during her long nisrht vigils, Elinor had seen many lighted win­ dows, where there had been but the one. The problem of her future began to obsess her. It was plainly impossible t» stay on here--not that she feared exposure; she was quite past fear-- but the thought of going on with her life was intolerable. To meet Ward, to see again the scorn and loathing^in his eyes, more than nit, to continue to deserve them--those were the things that to Elinor seemed worse than death itself. ? All the philosophy |^iat old Hilary had taught her failed" her now. The revolt of the individual against laws made for the masses--what had it brought her btlt Isolation and grief? Of what use was revolt? All must go through the mills of the gods. She knew that now. There were no ex­ ceptions. And something else she had learned: that if one is to live through great crises one must have a higher power to turn to for help. She had felt It vaguely at the time of her fa- th£r*S death. Sitting outside Ward's dopr she had known it Every breath had been a prayer to something, she knew not what, to save him. •$1 thank thee," she said again. ' %he phlox and larkspur quivered •bout her as if under the touch of a gentle hand. Boroday had been free for three days, hut beyond a telephone message announcing hie release she had heard nothing of him. Over the wire he had advised extreme out ion. She judged from that that things were not going wgl. She knew that Huffs reckless crime would demand a scapegoat. There were bound to be arrests. All this Elinor knew quite well. It was in such an atmosphere that she had drawn her earliest breaths--the play of cunning against cunning, wit against wit., She did not send for Boroday. She dared not. But because the intimacy between her and th.? middle-aged Rus­ sian had always b«»en very close, he seemed to feel her need. And so, on that Wednesday ni^ht, an hour or so after midnight, he came. pid Henriette came down and flipped softly at Elinor's door. •"Boroday," she whispered. "He has TQIig from the arbor." That was one of old Hilary's de­ vices: a hidden wire from the arbor to the house. It prevented* collisions. Unless otherwise summoned, no mem­ ber of his band ever came directly to the house. {Elinor went out and found Mm there. He bent over her hand and kissed it, as was his custom, and then, realizing that she was crying, he held oift his arms and she went into them. Very tender was the Russian with her that night, very fatherly. He put her Into one of the arbor seats and sat down beside her. •'Now tell me," he commanded, ^•everything from the start. It was •pFalter, I know. But why?" f When she did not apeak, the ffus- #bin nodded. * "Jealousy, of coarse, but what mad- !M There In the arbor, with her hand between two of his, Elinor sobbed out the story of the pearl and her attempt Jo return it. Huff's threat against" Ward, Ward's evening visit, and the scene between them; and last of all, the shot that had nearly ended every­ thing in this world for Ward and for her. Boroday listened quietly; better than old Hilary ever could, he under­ stood. lie had been reared on im an­ cient faith. ; i "He is recovering?" "Yes." & "And he cares for you, of course?" "No. I think, perhaps, before he *new-» V ? "Bah !n said the Russian, and rose. ^ pfWhat sort of love is that which ? ^ . Ipjhanges? I have seen the man. If he :">t 46»red at all, he still cares." ^ He stepped to the door of the arbor 'ibid drew a long breath. Over on the «ext hill, sleeping through all this tur­ moil, lay old Hilary. Under these sinne Stars Huff fled the law, Ward tossed •n his bed. Elinor sat despairing and ashamed. What did it all mean? What Has the answer? Perhaps, had be known It, old Ilen- vtf tflld &iUl- Henrique i: \ wfco Itad begun to her days from the end and not from the begin­ ning, and who new sat on the edg« of her bed mumbling. Between her fin­ ger* she ran the beads of an old rosary which she hod found bene tth a carpet. "I had thought," satd Elinor wistful­ ly, "that if I couid get away somewhere and start all over again, perhaps some day I might bo good---like other wom­ en. I can never go back to Uiiugs as they were before." t "No," said the Russian. "I can fee that. But make no mistake.' You are good as few pre good."" "I could sell the house ac!'-«nd I do not want the jewels, if only you and the others wouid divide them.*? Ifut Boroday would not hear of tills. To a certain extent he was reconciled to her going away. Things were clos­ ing in on the band. Before long they would probably all have to separate, were better that Elinor he in safety. So for a long time they discussed ways and means, available money, th« Question of a home for old Henriette. "In some ways," Elinor said, "I feel ajs though I am deserting him." She glanced toward the graveyard where old Hilary slept. "But all Lean think of now is to get away, to forget every- thing-." • : . "When will they be able to move Sir. Ward?" "In a week, I should think." J •' "Then, In a week," said Borodifjy, "where do you think of going, Elinor?" "I had hardly got so far. Anywhere but here." "We shall have to plan for you." He picked up his soft hat and Eli­ nor rose. "Good night, Elinor." "Good night. I am always happier for paving seen you." He watched her back tb the house, then went down the steps into the road. There had been a dinner at the country club that night. The chief had attended it, unknown to hostess and guests, to the extent of sitting in the grillroom during the evening ami care­ fully watching the men who came and went. He had dined quite alone in the grill. From where he sat he could see the dinner-party guests on the veranda. There were noticeably few jewels to be seen. Over his chop and lager beer the chief smiled grimly. After thai he shook dice for a short time with a young Englishman named Talbot, an interesting fellow. Prom him the chief got the club view of the jeweljjfobbery. "iHPbeen coming to us for a long time," said Talbot, shaking the dice. "Long ago I advised some of the wom­ en who had famous pearls to have copies made and keep the originals in their banks, but they disliked the idea of wearing imitations." "I see." "Then a 'woman Isn't satisfied to liaVe a string of pearls; she must have ' § "Bury Them in Old Hilary's Grave." It announced in all the papers. Of course crooks all over the country read about them, and naturally their fingers itch." "I understand," said the chief, "that the Bryant pearl has been recovered." "Yes, and good work on the part of the force," was Talbot's comment. If the chief smiled under his heavy mus­ tache, if there was the faintest pos­ sible twinkle in Talbot's eyes, who was there to see? -.r'i _ .«>• Talbot took the chief down to the station in his gray machine. They had chatted very pleasantly. But just op­ posite the steps from Elinor's gardeu they blew out a tire. The car swerved, suddenly throwing the light from the lamps along the bank. Standing in the shadows, and thus unexpectedly re­ vealed, was Boroday. Talbot brought the car to a Stop and jumped out. The Russian had gone on down the hill. "Awfully sorry," said Tafbot "Looks as if you'd have to walk down. Per­ haps you will tind another car to pick you up." "I shall rather enjoy the walk," said Hie chief, eyes ahead in the darK$et*8. '^Vhose place is this?" Talbot glanced up and around. •Ttu afraid I don't know anything about the village." He opened the tool­ box. The chief took two or three steps along the road and turned. "About here, wasn't it, that the Episcopal clergyman was shot?" "I cannot tell you that either. It was somewhere along this road."- "Good night," sang the chief cheerily, and started down the hill. Boroday had come out of the Hilary Kingston place. He knew that. Right here, almost where he stopped, was where Ward had been found. Then, in spite of old Hilary's death, the band was still using his house! Things were closing up. Boroday tramped on down the road. About one hundred yards behind the chief followed. Talbot, hammering at a recalcitrant tire, filled the air with the short, angry raps of his hammer on the rim. . . . The Russian had an almost uncanny sense of pursuit. More than once In his life It had saved him, and now he knew he was being followed. He made .no attempt whatever to throw his pur­ suer off the track, but went directly to the station. There he got an evening iwiper lit the closing news stand and glanced over it. standing under an arc qun« »!istinctiy tfefe ftrtire ,*f the as he crossed the track and took up his station behind a pillar of the train- shed. Boroday was thinking hard. It had been that unlucky swerving of a machine on the hill that had betrayed him. He knew that now. And he had just come out of the Kingston place. It was bad, very had. Boroday rode all the way Into the city with the chief a dozen seats be­ hind him. The chief did not follow him home. He knew where he lived, and he could lay his hand on him when he wanted him. He was going to want him now pretty soon. The Russian knew that, too. When he had entered his apartment and turned on the light, he found Huff standing by • a window. The boy ducked back as the light went up. For a moment the two eyed one an­ other. Huff was unshaven, sunken- eyed, dirty. The contrast between this wild-eyed boy and the tall Russian was strong. . . "Well?" said Huff defiantly. "Sit down." Boroday's tone was kind. He went to a closet and got out a bottle of vodka. "When did you have a*nythl ng to eat?". • ... • "I am not* hungry." " Nevertheless Boroday fcfeed on him a little bread and meat. "I didn't know you were out until tonight," lluff said at last, pushing his plate away. "Where have you been?" ; : "Drinking my head off in ft dive on Fortieth street" said Huff savagely. "I'm all right now.** "What got into you, Walter? For you to turn on us like that--to expose everyone of us, as you have--" "She was In love with him. I wish Td killed him." Very patiently, Boroday told him what had happened. Over the matter of the Bryant pearl he passed as light­ ly as lie could. But Huff realized the significance of Elinor's placing it in the almsbox. He went rather white. "We would have got off with the country club matter well enough, but this murderous frenzy of yours has finished us all. We'll have to break •up and get away. I want you to go out to Elinor's tonight." "She will not see me." t "I think she will," said Boroday. "I want her to get away the first thing In the morning. Let her empty the vault." He hesitated. Elinor's fortune in jewels was becoming a menace. Who­ ever took them in charge was possibly putting a halter around his neck. "Bring the jewels- to me, If you have a chance. If it seems better, per­ haps you'd better bury them out there." "Where?" "You might," v said the Russian thoughtfully, "bury them In old Hil­ ary's grave." (TO BE CONTINUED.) REPAIR FRENCH RAILROAD TRACKS QUICK AUSTRALIANS GREAT HUNTERS knowledge of the Habits of Animal* Makes Up for Crude Weapons and Lack of Endurance. In endurance and speed the Aus­ tralian aborigine is not the equal of the American Indian, and his weapons of wood arid poorly fashioned stones arv effective only at short range, says thv National Geographic Magazine. Bui as a hunter the native Australian i> inarvelously adapted to his environ ment. His success lies in an intimate Knowledge of the habits of the animals o^ land. In the ground, in trees and under water, and his wonderfully de­ veloped power of observation. He decoys pelicans by imitating their crys, catches ducks by diving be­ low them, locates an opossum in a tree by marks on the bark or by the flight of mosquitoes, finds sharks by observing the action of birds and fol­ lows a bee to its store of honey. Any animal which leaves a ^rack however dim in sand, on rock or in grass falls an easy prey to the native. Children are taught to track lizards and snakes over bare rocks and to find their absent mothers by following tracks too indistinct to serve as a guide for any European. When a white man is lost in the desert or a child strays from home the final resort Is to secure a "black tracker." Rheumatism Superstitions. It is when It conies to rheumatism that old superstitions come most defi­ nitely to the fore, and there are scores of cures and preventives which have come down through the centuries. One of these which the Belgians have introduced to the fighting men at the front is the wearing of a strip of cat- skin beneath the coat. According to the Belgians, this makes you immune from both rheumatism and gout, and with the trenches deep with mud and icy water, the average soldier, wheth­ er in France or England, is only too glad to "take a chance" on any sort of preventive; and it is said that scores of. domestic pussy cats hnve heeu offered up as a sort of sacrifice to provide whole regiments with the coveted strip of fur. The fad has spread to England, where "catskln" bands are now sold; but so far Ameri­ ca has been content with the theory that the wearing of a steel ring, or the carrying of-ja potato in the pocket, would keep off the dread aching of joints and muscles. Early to Bed, Early to Rise. Who wouldn't be a farmer If he could choose his occupation? In ad­ dition to the assured wealth that awaits the agriculturist because of the high prices of his products it now ap­ pears, from statistics of the depart­ ment of labor, that he among all call­ ings attains the highest average age, fifty-eight years six months. Book­ keepers and office assistants, on the other hand, die very young, at thirty- six years six months, when they have hardly begun to live. The moral of these figures is obvious. Let the book­ keepers forsake their stools and hl° themselves to a farm. Thereby they will be greatly prolonging their own lives and helping to support their fel­ low beings. In the city they are doomed to tuberculosis and other diseases.-- Philadelphia Record. ACRES OF RAILROAD TRACKS READY FOR USE, This is a depot for railroad tracks on the Meuse. It is one of numerous similar depots established by the French along the lines of march. Here there are stored thousands upon thousands of railroad sections laid on steel ties. As the French army advances it is necessary to repair the railroad tracks which the Germans in their retreat have torn np. The sections are con­ veyed to the spot and almost in the twinkling of any eyelash the road is repaired. The efficiency of the French Is almost beyond belief.

The first railroad train seen in Phil­ adelphia arrived at the head of the Schuylkill incline plane at 4:30 o'clock on the afternoon of April 10, 1834, af­ ter an eight-and-a-half-hour trip from Lancaster. Everybody laughed at this nine days' wonder, so sure to be a fail­ ure. It had taken six years of agita­ tion to provide the construction of a single track between Columbia and Philadelphia, to connect this city with the canal at .the former place. So lit­ tle confidence had the managers In the endurance of the locomotive that an empty liorseear followed the train with relays of horses at different points to rescue the party in case the locomotive gave out. They had much difficulty with "Black Hawk," for that was the tocomotive's name, and the passengers had to get out and give it a healthy push.froin time to time. Desperate Resistance. There had been desperate resistance to the introduction of railroads throughout the state. There was a huge vested interest in the Conestoga wagons. Hundreds of six-horse teams hauling the immense covered wagons were constantly on the highways, transporting passengers and freight between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and between many other points. Every few miles along our through turnpikes was found the "wagon tavern." Well- to-do farmers whose homes were on the pike ran a tavern us a side indus­ try. These inns, besides refreshment for travelers, had large yards to ac­ commodate the teams during the night. It was a thriving business, and when the proposition to construct railways was seriously urged the wagon drivers and the wagon tavern-keepers made an uggresslve fight against the Innovation, which would deprive them of so much of their income and their pleasure. Anti-Raiiroad Men. Mass meetings were held along the lines of the turnpikes to protest against railways. It was urged that they were of doubtful utility. Political orators delivered harangues against the injustice of bringing "an uutried experiment" into vogue to "ruin the great Industrial interests which cen­ tered in wagon transportation." In some instances United States senators and representatives made these speeches and were elected solely on the strength of belug "anti-railroad men." But the progress of the railroad was so gradual that there was no sudden and violent destruction of the wagon transportation interests. , The grand old Conestoga wagons, "prairie schoon­ ers," died a slow and natural death. But the tavern-keepers who allied themselves with politicians to hold back progress have maintained the al­ liance ever since the days when "Black Hawk" came to Philadelphia.--Phila­ delphia Ledger., ( PNEUMATIC TOOLS ARE BEST Peace Hat Slaughters., Ten thousaud and one persons were vllled in this country in railroad ac­ cidents last year, which shows that ,>eace his its slaughters as well as war, although with the former, they are not quite so inevitable.--Baltimore American. One Man Can Do as Much as Two Hand Laborers fn Packing Ballast Around Railroad Ties. # -- With the use of pneumatic tools for packing the ballast around ralroad ties, as tried by an eastern railroad, it is claimed that one man can do as much as two hand laborers have done hitherto, and the work is more thor­ ough and lasts longer. Each air com­ pressor is made to operate four pack­ ing tools, which are driven by rapid hammer-blows delivered on their tip­ per end. The operator keeps the tool in contact with the ballast, and the material is thus forced into small spaces not easily reached In hand work. The compressor and its gaso­ line engine are carried on a small car, which is easily lifted from the track and replaced. Where the working space Is limited, as fta cuttings, the compressed air may be carried through iron piping, and It is found that the packing tool can be operated with un­ diminished efficiency from 1,000 to 1,- 500 feet away from the compressor. MOVEMENT OF FREIGHT CARS In These Days of Stress Sensible Thing to Do Is to Use Them' Where Most Needed. The war hoard of the American Railway association has introduced another novelty In railroad operation. It has ordered the immediate move­ ment' of empty freight cars from roads where they are not needed to roads which need them, despite own­ ership. » Heretofore, all attempt to regulate the movement of empty freight cars has been in the direction of returning cars to their owners. It was often the case that roads would hold cars of other roads to their own use, no matter how greatly the other roads needed them. It has even been charged that some companies made it a policy to keep down their equip­ ment and commandeer the equipment of other companies. The sensible thing, of course, in these days of stress is to use the freight cars where they are most needed, regardless of ownership. CONGRESSMAN IN SAME FIX Representative of People Returning Home Was In Splendid Position to Feel for Convict. TJie pale-faced passenger looked out of the car window with exceeding in­ terest. Finally he turned to his seat- mate. "You likely think I never rode in the cars before," he said, "but the fact is, pardner, I just got out of prison this morninY and it does me good to look around. It is goin' to be mighty tough, though, facin' my old-time friends. I s'pose, though, you ain't got much Idea how a man feels in a case like that." "Perhaps I' have a better idea of your feelings than you think," said the other gentleman, with a sad smile. "I am just getting home from con­ gress."--San Francisco Argonaut. TO BUILD ALASKAN RAILROAD At Present 136 Miles of Road Between 8eward and Fairbanks Are In Daily Operation. Of ,the 466 miles of railroad to be built by the United States government Crom Seward to Fairbanks, Alaska, 136 miles are now In operation, with daily trains. The estimated cost of construct­ ing the 466 miles of road is $25,642,000. Approximately $11,000,000 will have been spent by the close of the present fiscal year. A force of about 4,000 men is employed and work has continued throughout the winter. Motor Passenger Cars.
