Nora was fairly broken. “Dear God! How long are we to be kept on the edge of destruction like this? Sure, my patience is worn out. ” Ann comforted her as best she could, and at 1 o’clock, all being quiet out- side, they went to bed. They were interrupted again, this time by Nora, who came in pale and troubled. “Rob, where is Matt? Sure. he has not shown his face since sup- per.” “He’s in command of the guard tu- night. He’s not far away. Don’t wor- ry about him.” “Ann, dear, I Wish you’d come home. 1 need you. Rob will sit with the sick one, won’t you, R01)?” "Then you should go,” he answered quit-my. “I want to make you happy. If I cannot, then it is better for one to snn'cr than two. Return to New York, and from that vantage ground look back on this new life. If I do not then seem fitted to make you happy I will not complain.” He was master now, stopping at no polite bar. “I will not let you go till you speak your mind.” His physical hold on her arms softened, but his spiritual self closed round her. “Six months ago I was a rancher in the foothills, and you were in a great east- ern city. We were as wide apart as the poles. Now, here we are! I don’t un- derstand it. This I knowâ€"you are here, and I can’t let you go. I accept your offer to go into the mine, but not for Louis’ sake. I do it for my own sake because I want you to be my partnerâ€"my wife. What do you say, Hesper, my star of the west?” ' She put him away almost in terror. “1 can’t decide now. I must be sureâ€" sure, and I’m not sure. I must have time to consider. I must go back into my old life~to my native city.” “You say you are happier here than in the east. Why go back at all? Why risk the loss of this new found health?” “I will be honest. It is because by contrast the old life begins to glow. The change in we may be due to phys- ical causes. Perhaps I could carry my recovered joy of life back with me. If this should be so, then I might never want to return. and that would be cruei to you. Don’t you see?” He refused to be diverted. “I don’t care what your eastern world thinks of me it only you are content with me. I accept your theory. I deserve com- pensationâ€"some sweet return for my lonely, loveless life on the plain. Will you come? Is that what you mean ‘3” “He will not die. He will live. But youâ€"Ann, there is something back of this." He laid his strong hands upon her shoulders, looking into her lace with such piercing passion that she shrank and grew timid. “You need me? Is that it? Am I one of your compensations ?" She tried to smile. “That would not be flattering, according to my theory.” “Anything you ask, except a renewal 0: my promise or silence.” She hesitated before the rising storm of his love. “I want you to let meâ€" nonis and meâ€"help rebuild your mine.” “What do you mean?” - “It’s so simple You and Matt need money. I want you to take Louis into your mine as a partner. Hush!" she warniugly whispered as the sleepers head moved on his pillow. “If he lives he will want to work with you. If he dies I must help you for his sake." She heard, but ignored his passionate words. A sort or mental and spiritual recmmess had seized her. “All my liteintheeast andintheoidworid, everything in the past, seems gray, to it covered by a mist. The retlitien seemtobehere.

HAMLIN Spurring his horse in a swift, rear- ing circle, he flung from his right hand an answering puff of smoke, and a tall man with a rifle in his hands dropped at the corner of the cabin, but from his knees again took aim, and the beauti- ful horse went down, flinging his des- perate rider over his head. Horrifled, frozen into immobility, Ann stood in the doorway, while Mun- ro shook himself free from the saddle and dragged himself clear of the groan- ing horse. Resting himself on his el- bow, with the face of a calm panther, he confronted a second armed oflicer. His right arm was useless, but his mind was clear, his eyes steady, and as his new assailant approached be shifted his weapon to his left hand and rolled upon his useless right arm, and the bullet intended for his heart went wide then. Lifting himself with terrible effort, he fired again and put a bullet into the very heart of his pur- --.A_ _‘, get me!_” With a bonnd he reached Barnett’s horse and rose to the saddle just as a stern voice called “Halt!” and a blade of fire reached out of the dusk and pierced his side. sner, who fell in a heap just as Ray- mond and Barnett, followed by Kelly, came rushing to the scene of combat. Raymond bent above the fallen leader. “How is it, Jack? Are you hurt?” “Hurt? I’m shot to pieces. Raise me 119- There’s another. Let me 88t him.” He struggled again to rise. Raymond pushed him gently to the earth. “Never mind him now. You 1199.(1 help, Where’s the doctor? Why didn't you jump the camp, as Kelly told you to do, Jack, old man? Why didn’t you?" . ‘ ‘ ' “Where’s my gun?” he demanded. “Where’s Rob?” He was a hunted man in every look, in every gesture. “My gun!” he demanded sharply and ran into the inner room. When he re- appeared his face was set in a. grim smile, for in his hand dangled {Ahm- ing weapon. His panic was at an end. Whose faced him now must give ac- count of himself. “xoodby, girl!” he called, and his voice was wildly tender. “Don’t Jor- Hounded and brought to bay by his admirers, Raymond made a speech bluntly protesting that he was not en- titled to any credit in the matter. “I tried hard to keep out of it,” he de- clared. “I’m not seeking honor of that kind.” But his argument was in vain. His denials were called the excess of modesty, and at a meeting of the vari- ous factions looking to an adjustment he was amazed to find himself put for- ward as chief arbitrator of the conten- tion, mainly by Barnett and the mayor of Valley Springs. Just at sunset, as Ann, lingering at Louis’ side, was about to cross to the Kelly cabin, Munro, wild, White and breathless, burst into the room. Dolan, however, brought to Ann a knowledge of the great light which had been turned suddenly ‘on her lover’s abashed figure, and the glow of pride which. came to her brought a keen realization of how closely his success was interwoven with her good Wishes. The second day passed slowlyâ€"even though she slept at timesâ€"and no fur~ ther word of intimate meaning passed between them. Raymond came in from time to time with news of the changes in progress, but did not tell her that the state was full of praise of the part he had played in bringing peace to the camp. He shrank from doing this, for the reason that, as usual, the press was extreme, loading him with compli- ments for his firm stand, for his influ- ence over Munro and for his powerful protest to the governor, whereas, to his mind, Matthew Kelly was the leader of the free miners. “I was only the sec- retaryâ€"the clerk,” he explained. They faced each other, even at this moment, with a knowledge that the most important matter of all remained unsettled between them, and all day and the next, while the forces of dis- order dissolved and the camp readjust- ed itselt to military rule, Ann nursed her sick and brooded over her probâ€" lem. “Oh, I am so glad! Now there will be no more fighting, and you can re- store your mill." "You are right. Mobs do not fight the United States army,” he answered, with the pride of a potential soldier. streaming up the road between the cabins. Dressing hurriedly, she went out into the Sitting room just as Ray- mond came in, his race excited and exnltant. _ . “our reign of terror is over. The desperadoes are scattering like quail.

Sprinting from her bed, she drew aside the curtain and peered out.

What u that noise?” THE DURHAM “CHBON ICLE The complete lack of sympathy be- tween mother and daughter dated from the day of her birth, for she had never known maternal care. From the time she could speak paid servants and teachers guided her in feminine ways. The cold and smileless woman 'who gave her birth was a being of another world. No caresses were ever invited by the mother, and none. was ever of. fered by the child. Even the compan- 10115111? 01' the gentle, impulsive father was cut short or interdicted altogether during melancholy periods by his wife’s exacting demands. When Louis came the rather revolt- ed, retusmg to be terever at the whim of his wife. H e up attendance The morning was deliciously cool and very brilliant with sunlight, and as she rolled through Madison square and en- tered upon the lower avenue the girl’s throat filled with a sob of joy. The generous, good mountains had not merely lured her to themselves, teach- f ing her to love them, they had restored her sanity and the power to enjoy the g glint of sunbeams anywhere in the world. She was elate, throbbing with ' recovered love of life, with the regain- _i ed joy of being young, and, best of all, ? she found herself looking back each i moment with undiminished afl’ection { to the high peaks. Into this moment of i elation the thought of her mother inâ€" I truded with chilling efl'ect. ! However, she approached New York on :1 glorious morning in May, and the North river was a glittering spread of leaping wavelets tossed into the sun- light by a brisk southwesterly wind. and her spirits rose with a bound. On the journey eastward Ann had a great deal of time to think, and the farther she descended upon the plain the more certain it seemed that she was leaving it all behindâ€"Raymond, the good Barnetts and allâ€"and a sad- ness which lay beyond tears seized up- on her. She felt, too, that Louis was growing out of her life. He would soon be a man in the world of men. -I am going to flee to my mountain. I can’t bear to see you take the train, and I will not say goodby. I will wait as patiently as I can till you send for me, and if you feel that youâ€"that I am not fitted to make you happy I will not complain.” And they parted with only a clasp of hands. Raymond received the announcement of her plan with outward composure though he said sadly: “Now that I know more about your life in the east, I am not so sure I can make you hap- py, even with a million. I’ve lost my ambition to be rich, for what could I give you, Who have had everything? CHAPTER XXVIII. N a few days Louis was able to be removed to the valley, but his re- covery was slow, and Dr. Braide strongly advised against his return to the east. As a proprietor in the mine, Louis was now doubly anxious to be on the ground, but being prevented from that he called on Bob for fre- quent personal reports, which the sen- ior partner was very glad to make. At last the day came when Ann de cided to leave Louis in his care and return to her mother, desperately de- terminéd to test her new found happi- ness and her love, though she did not put it thus. Braide shook his head, and the dying man closed his eyes, and his hands shut convulsively. When he opened them he could only whisper, “Girlâ€" your hand!” Ann gave her hand. He pressed it hard. “You’re the bestâ€"I ever met. Stay with me. It’s a dark trailâ€"and no blazes in the green tim- ber. Goodby”â€" “I take my chances,” was his indom- itable reply. “I want to live, but I’m not afraid to die. Doctor, give me something. I don’t want to go Just yetâ€"I want a few wordsâ€"give me breath, can’t you?” he demanded sharply. At these tender words Ann’s tear and hesitation passed into a sort of awe. He was so piteously young, so boyish, to take that lonely journey into the night. She took his hand in both of hers and whispered a little prayer to which the dying man listened in- tently. At the end she added softly: “I have faith that the great Judge will deal with you mercifully. He knows all your motives as well as your temp- tations. Surely his forgiveness is greater than man’s.” She obeyed his call, sustained by her great pity, and, kneeling at his side, asked quietly, “What can I do?" He looked at her with wide eyes. whose expression filled her throat with aching sorrow. “I’m leaving camp on a long trip,” he said quietly, “and I want you to say a good word for me. Maybe it’ll make it easier for me where I'm going.” Munro closed his eyes and hi;â€" taco quivered. At last, when he had regain- ed control 01- his voice, he said, “Ann. I want youâ€"here.” examination in silence tor awhile. then quietly naked: “Well, doc, what's your ”idiot?‘ Do I hit the long trail?” “It looks that way, Jaci',” Bride 1'.- plied, with_ a goo_t1_ deal or feeling. “How could Iâ€"no horseâ€"no gun? I’m no jack rabbit to go slinking into the sagebush.” He raised his voice querulously. “Some 0’ you boys get; me a drink. I feel weak." A half dozen started, but Braide put a glass to his lips. Munro looked at him with a steely gleam in his eyes. “I ought to kill you," he said slowly, “for doing me last night.” His voice rose to a stern command: “Take hold and stop this-blood. fean’t stand this very long.‘ Don’t you see that ?” he ended, with a note of fierce impatience in his voice. At Braide’s orders they took him up and carried him into the bungalow, where Louis lay watching. listening, with Ann close beside him trying to shield him from the sight and sound of this tragic end of a gambler.

Minister Speaks to Mothers Louis was not with her, and when Ann reexplained bluntly that he would not come Mrs. Allard looked at her daugh- ter in cold silence for a full minute and then said: "There is something about you that I don’t understand. You look well, but Louis should come home. That climate doesn’t agree with The interview with her mother was quite as painful as Ann had feared. She began by demanding to know why Her mother interrupted her as she entered upon a more extended confi- dence. “Go to your room and bathe and get your breakfast. We will talk over Louis’ extraordinary plans after- ward.” “On the contrary, his illness is due to his own impetuousness in riding up into the mountains without suificient clothing.” “What’s the meaning or this talk of his about buying a mine?” Instantly Ann’s old feeling of sullen anger and resentment resurged like a tide and threatened to bury all her good resolutions, but she struggled with and rose above her resentment and said gently: “I didn’t intend to neglect my duty. I wrote as often”â€" Ann explained this as patiently as she could, and when Mrs. Allard con- “Miserable, and Mr. Allard is avéay, as usual,” she replied, with a bitter frown. “Your letters were very fewâ€" very unsatisfactory. Why did you not return sooner?” upon her and devoted himself to the children. This, Ann afterward recall- ed, was the beginning at her mother's morbid seclusion. Then came board- ing school, from which she was called to receive her father’s last words, and these admonitions, gently spoken, with a sad sweetness of tone, like the dying hum of a bell, she had never forgot- ten. She had been a mother to Louis, and she was coming back now with the consciousness of a duty well per- formed, but as she approached the towering wall of the great apartment hotel in which her mother made her home she lost courage, and the resolu- tion she had made to forget their dif- ferences and to confide her perplexi- ties died away. Mrs. Allard received her in bed read- lug-she was forever reading useless booksâ€"and impassively said, “What an unearthly hour to arrive!” Ann took her lax hand and bent and kissed her chill lips. “How are you feeliag, mother?” she asked tenderly.
