"Elise and her aunt want to come," went oil Lenyard, seating himseli. "You have told them about—Stur- j gis?" j "Ves. It was hard, Darrel, to mar j tier happiness, but Elise i 3 bearing up ! nobly. She had expected the worst and \ «.hat prepared her, in a way." "Yet you did not tell her the worst?" | "That her father had changed his j name and had become a gambler? No. j I .spared her that." / "It was best that you did Kti." "I told Elise how you helped me, | Danel; told her how I had come out i to this country entrusted with money ■ hy some eastern friends who reposed faith in my integrity and was to exam iine a mine and close a deal for its pur chase. She knows that I was false to ituy trust and lost ilie money at the ■ gambling table and that you won it j >aeif for nie. That is why she wants o see you and thank you. We are all leaving to-morrow for Anaconda and the east. Won't ou go with me now no the hotel?" Darrel shook his head. "Don't urge me, Lenyard. You have repaid me a hundredfold for everything j if did for you." Lenyard leaned forward and laid a i friendly hand on Barrel's knee. "What of the future, Darrel?" he} asked. "Let us not talk of my future, but of yours." "I must speak what is in my mind j iind I trust you will take no offense. You are fitted for better things, rel, and why not try for them?" "In other words you think I should reform?" "So far as card-playing goes, yes." "No, I will not. My reputation would cling to me. You remember (that Old Man of the Sea that fastened himself to Sinbad's neck? That is the •sort of a reputation I would have if I I tried to reform. I would rather be what I am." "But a man can live down a reputa tion." "Some kinds; not one like mine, j Why, my lad, I am the author of a ■ brave play in poker It is known as 'Darrel's discard.' Every blackleg in 'the west knows of it." He laughed. "The notoriety pleases me, for it takes nerve to discard aces." Lenyard tried to argue, but Darrel reached for the written sheets that lay beside him on the table, "After all," lie said, settling back in his chair, the sheets in his hand, "what j does it matter? It takes all kinds of j men to make a world and 1 am not so I sure that a gambler has not his uses 1 in the great universal scheme. I have some verses here, Lenyard. They are i very poor, but sometimes my thoughts \ come in rhymes and I jot them down j to get them out of my head. I am go- j ing to call this doggerel 'N'lmporte!' j and you shall listen to it, for it re- ■ fleets my mood to-day." Then, with the smoking cigar be- j V.ween his slender white fingers and the feathery vapor creeping around his ! handsome fare, he read: A sage I knew once blew and blew t'pon a pipe of clay. And from that pipe a bubble ripe And perfect, dropped away. 'J hen, as I gazed, u rainbow blazed Across the bubble's face. And meads were seen, and hills of green. And life in cv'ry place; And lo! a play, hi brave array. We saw as We stood by; ■Arid on the Mage there stood the sa^fe, And near the sage, stood I. \\ hat work we made, or how we played, II boots not here to tell, et hopes i!. <l fears, aiel smiles and tears, 1 That bubblo-"world befell. Then, as we wrought, with sudden i thought, The sage blew'out his breath, "And in a mist, ere one could list, That bubble died the death. Then spake the sago; "Man's heritage I Of happiness and v/oe, fs like the things our fancy brings. For fancies come and go. Time wears apace, and into space \ throbbing ball is liurl'd. And on the ball live motes who call That throbbing ball a world. But countless globes in starry rob'-s Are thrown across the sky. So what is earth, whose feeble girth The earthly magnify?

I For like a dream where things but seem, | Or like a house of glass, j Or lik« a mist the winds have klss'd, j This bubble-world shall pass!" Lenyard never forgot that talk with Darrel. When the young man started back to the hotel the gambler shook his hand, bade him remember his promise and said "Good-by." "Oh," returned Lenyard, quickly, "I shall see you again." "Perhaps," said Darrel, with a queer smile. He intended leaving early for Anaconda, much earlier than Lenyard could leave with Mrs. Gorton and | Elise. He would post a letter to Law- j i rence Ortnsby, in Anaconda, telling him | of his friend McCloud, then lie would j return to the old life in San Francisco. Lenyard went away, strangely de pressed. CHAPTER XXL ! DARKIiL YIELDS THE GAME TO FATE. At ten o'clock that night Nate Dar ; rel was in Hawkbill's, playing. Luck i was against him. He was a pleasant loser, however. Again and again lie laughed as he bought the little red, white and blue columns and again and again he laughed as they were taken from him. "Fate makes or mars us, gentlemen," | said he, directly reversing his old phil osophy; "we have little voice in the matter. Fortune is a coy goddess and one never can be sure of her." At last, he picked up a hand of three knaves and two aces. "Following his time-honored custom he discarded the j aces. What he found in his two-card draw drove the blood from his cheeks and held him rigid in his chair. "What are you doing?" asked the next player. "It's up to you." Darrel slid the cards together and laid them face down on the table. "I am asking your forbearance for a few I minutes, gentlemen," said he, and then turned calmly to a waiter and asked for an envelope and a sheet of paper. They were brought to him and he took a pencil from his pocket and lIIS WORDS WERE LOST IN A SHARP REPORT ACCOMPANIED BY A CRASH OF GLASS. wrote a few words, shielding the writ ing with his hand from the curious eyes of the others. Folding the sheet, he placed it inside | I he envelope, sealed the flap and wrote j the address: "Mr. Roy Lenyard, Grand i Central hotel." "Will you deliver this?" he asked, laying a silver dollar on the letter and handing it to the waiter. "Certainly, sir," said the waiter, reading the address. "I'll take it over j at once." "The quicker the better," returned Darrel. The other players supposed it was a request on some friend for a loan and the play went on. Darrel lost. "Excuse me, gentlemen," said Dar rel. shoving the cards away from him and rising. "I shall have to —" His words were lost in a sharp re port, accompanied by a crash of glass. I Darrel sank slowly back into his chair | and bowed forward. * * * * * * * Murgatroyd was showing himself a model prisoner. He was alon? in the j jail and was making the guard no ! trouble whatever. He had been incarcerated in the | early morning hours and Merrick pro posed holding him in Sandy Bar until I the Anaconda stage made its next trip, j which would be on the following day. The single guard had been twice re j lieved. The third man camt on duty at ten o'clock. Five minutes after he had posted himself in front of the building Cliff came. "Did ye bring it?" the guard asked, hoarsely. "Give nie the key," said Cliff, sharply. "Money first!" "Is your horse ready?" "If ye've got the stuff I'll be away ' in three minutes." "Five thousand," said Cliff, peering | hastily about him into the gathering | shadows and shoving something into i the guard's hand. "Now, the key." "Wait!" The guard stepped to | where a light was shining through one | i of the barred windows and thumbed | I the bills with trembling fingers. "All | right," he said, coming back. "Here's yer key. I'm off." Like a wraith he faded into the gloom. Cliff unlocked the door and stepped inside. "Is it. all right, Cliff?" asked Murga- j troyd, starting up from beside a table. | "iiisht' as a trivet. Here's money CAMKRON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1904. and here's a revolver and you'll find a horse waiting in the creek bottom, di rectly north of here. Hustle, now. The coast is clear, but there's no tell ing when Merrick will show up." Murgatroyd started for the door. "Where's Darrel?" he asked, sud denly. "He's over at HawkbiU's. But never mind Darrel; you've got yourself to think about. Clear out, old man. That's your cue. I've done all I can for you." Murgatroyd opened the door and stepped out of the jail a free man. Passing around the building he start |ed north, toward the Eponay. But, | whdn in the deep shadow and out of Cliffs sight, he turned east and ap proached Ilawkbill's from the rear. Gliding from one uncurtained win dow to another along the side of the structure, he finally came to a halt and drew his revolver. The marshal was passing along the street toward the jail and heard the report, the crash of glass and the cries of alarm from those in the gambling den. Whirling about he saw a figure plunging rapidly away Into the night. "Halt!" he cried, giving pursuit and jerking a weapon from his belt as he ran; "halt, or I'll shoot!" The form was merely a blot of shadow in the night and Merrick could see if still moving away from him. Another instant and the marshal had paused, crooked his arm before his face, laid the barrel across it and pulled the trigger. The moving blot sank downward, seemingly info the earth. **»**•« As Roy Lenyard stood at the door of the Grand Central hotel a man ap proached him and handed him a letter. "From Mr. Darrel," he said. Drawing back into the lighted office, (he young man opened the envelope, drew out the inclosed sheet, unfolded it and read: Dear liCiiyard: I have drawn two sevens. This gives me a hand of knaves and rt'd sevens and I shall not leave the table alive. Please send a letter to Mr. Lawrence Ormsby, Anaconda, stating: 13i.it McCloud I; 5 here. In Sandy Bar. Ormsby is McCloud'a friend and will look after hint. DARREL. Before he had finished reading sounds of shooting came from down the street and people began running in the direction of HawkbiU's. Lenyard, without pausing a second, rau out and hurried with them. $ [THE END.] REAL HORSE SENSE. Talc of ti tONNnck Horn* 'l'll 111 I 11- dci'tttooil Hi* '» IV c 111 ill rities. My maternal over grandfathers, Van der Meerschaut, had a little Cossack horse captured from the Russian in vaders in 1814, relates a writer in For est and Strtam. The old gentleman was lame in one leg as the result of a hunting accident, but withal a good horseman when once in the saddle. When out on his trips in the country on business and coming home at night he would frequently fall asleep in his commodious Cossack saddle. The horse would make a beeline for home, at an easy but swift pace. Arriving there it would rap at the front door with its foot until the watchman would open the porch and take the old gen tleman out of the saddle. My grand mother told me this happened almost every week. Horse and master under stood each other. Not being able to walk very well, he would hunt from horseback, the horse following the set ters and coming to a standstill when one of them was on a point., the old gentleman guiding him entirely by pressure of the knees and voice, and having both hands free for his fowling piece. The horse died of old age on the place, as most of our servants. Peace to his ashes. A Hetort. Dean Farrar, soon after he went to St. Margaret's, Westminster, was din ing at Prof. Jowett's, and towards des sert took up the parable against Dives. His voice rose higher and higher, he spread silence around him and he was heard thundering out: "What 1 com plain of as a clergyman is that I Yiave to do what no layman has to do. I have to beg and beg in vain. Fashion able ladies come to my church glitter ing with precious gems, and yet they will not sacrifice one diamond from I heir grand tiaras in order to save some erring sister from de.st~uction." When he finished the silence grew sultry. All the hearers looked gloom ily at their plates. Then Jowett. who had been looking as though he meant mischief, squeaked out: "What I ob ject to as a clergyman is that I have to exaggerate so!" —St. James' Gazette. Want i*il to Rcml tlie Si»n. Skating weather brings with it memories of the old farmer in Maine who still clung to the invigorating pastime. He used to be the first one in his village to put on skates and was anxious always to see ice formed on the surface of the pond. One day he visited a pond to which he had not gone in some time, and was surprised to see a pole sticking through the ic< with <1 board nailed on it, and some thing looking ljke painting on tho board. "It says something on that ere board," said Mr. Farmer. "Just my luck, that my sight's poor and 1 ain't got my glasses. Howsomever it's only a pleasant, little skate to th' j post." Later they had to fish him out jof the chilled water. The words or j the sign were: "Ice thin here, keep | away."—N. Y. Times. At It Austin.
