They had been heard of here and there, anil some of them had been seen nlong the Sagalac, though he knew nothing of that diamatic incident'in the woods when Flecla was kidnapped and Jethro Fawc vanished from the scene. As riedn came toward him. under the same trees which had shielded her from the sun months ago now nearly naked and bare something in iter look nnd bearing sharply caught his interest. He nskeel himself what It was. So often a face familiar over half a life time perhaps, suddenly nt some new angle, or because, by chance, one has looked at it searchingly, shows n new expression, n new contour never before1 observed, giving fresh significance to the character. Theie was that in Iugolby's mind, a depth of desire, a resohe to stake two lives against the chances of Fate, which made him look nt Fleda now with a re xealing intensity. What was the new thing in her carriage which captured his e.xe? Presently ij flashed upon him memories of Mexico and the southern I'nited States; native women with jars of water upon their heads; the erect, well-balanced form; the sure, sinuous movement; the step measured, .vet free; the dignity come of carrying the head as though it were a pillar of an Athen ian temple, one of the beautiful Carya tides xonder by the Aegean Sea. It smote him as a sudden breath of wnrm air strikes a face in the night coolness of the veldt. His pulses quick ened, he flushed with the soft shock of it. There she xvas, refined, civilized, gowned like other women, with all the manners and details of civilization nnd social life about her; jet in spite of it all, she did not belong; there was about ! her still something remote and alien. It had not to do with appearance alone, though her ejes weie s vivid, and her expression so swift nnd varying; it was to lie found in the whole presence something mountain -like and daring, something Eastern and reserved and secret, something i emote brooding like a Sphinx., and1 prophetic like, a Sib.vl. Hut suppose that in da.vs to come the thing that did not belong, which was DREAMLANDAD VENTURES-ByDaddy "THE PRINCE OF nnr.r.ARS" (Thr Prince of Dollars sicki liii lox! mermaid eimi Prtui.

Yet he did not look like a languishing lover; rather like one Inflamed with n great idea or btlrrcd to a great resolve. For quite n minute they stood gnz lug as though they would rend the whole truth iu each other's ces. She was all eager, jet timorous; he wns resolved; et now, when the great moment had come, as it were, like a stammerer fear ing the sound of his own voice. There was so much to say that he could not speak. She broke the spell. "I nm here. Can't ott see me?" she nskeel In n quizzical, playful tone, her lips trem bling a little, but with n smile In her ejes which she vainly tried to xcll. She had said the one thing which above all others could have lifted the situation to its real significance. A few weeks ago the ejes now looking into heis nnd telling a great story were sealed with night, nnd the mind behinel wns fretted by the thought of n perpetual darkness. All the tragedy of the past rushed into his mind now, and gave all that was between them, or wns to be betxveen them, Its real meaning. A beautiful woman is dear to man simply ns woman, nnd not ns the woman; virtue has slain its thou sands, but physical charm has slain its tens of tliousnlids! Whatever In golby's defects, however, infinitely more than the girl's beauty, more than the palpitating life in her, than red lips and blight eje, than warm breast and clasping hand, was something beneath all which would last, or should lust, when the baud was palsied unci the eje was dim, "I am here. Can't jou sec me?" AH that be hnd regained in life in lier little upper room lushed upon him, und with outstretched arms and in ai voice choked with, feeling he said: "See jou! Dear God To see' jou and all the world once inoic! It is I being born again to me. I haven't learned to talk in mv new world jet, i but I know tlncc wotds of the language. I I love jou. Come I'll be good to jou." She drew back from him and her look said that she would icad him to' the utteimost word iu his life's book.' vve'uld see the lieuit of this wondeifull book, and then with a himgiy cry she flung her arms around his neck and pressed her wet ejes agaiust his Hushed . cheek. i A half hour later, as they wandeied I back to the house, he suddenly stopped, put his hnnels on her shoulders, looked j caine.seiv in hit ejrs imu Mini ; "God's good to me. I hope I'll re member that." "You won't be so blind as to for get," she answered, nnd she wound her lingeis in his with a feeling which was more than the simple love of woman for man. "I've got much moic to ie member than jou hav'e," she added. Suddenly she put both hands upon his breast. "You don't understand; jou can't understand, but I tell jou that I shf.ll have to light hind if 1 am to be all jou want me to be. ' I hnve got a past to forget; jou have tt piyt jou want to .lemember that's the differ ence. I must tell jou the truth: it's in mv veins, that old life, iu spite of all. Listen. I ought to have told j on, and I meant to tell jou befoie this hap pened, but when I saw jou theie and jou held out jour aims to me I foigot ever thing Yet still I must tell you now", though perhaps .vou will hate me when 'jou know.

She even had thc'roiirago to tell of all she felt there, but when she had finished, with n half-frightened look in her eyes, her face pale and her hands clasped before her, he did not speak for n minute. Suddenly, how ever, he seemed to tower over her, his two big hands were raised as though they would strike and then the palms spread out and enclosed her cheeks lov ingly nnd his e.ves fastened upon hers. "I know," he said gently. "I al wajs understood over) thing; but you'll never hnve the same light again because I'll be with jou. You understand, Fleda I'll be with you." With nn exclamation of gratitude she nestled Into his arms. Hcfore the thrill of his embrace had passed fiom their pulses they heard tho bi caking of twigs under a quick foot step and Rhodo stood before them. "Come," he said to Fleda. Ills voice wns ns solemu and strange ns his mnn ner. "Come!" he repeated peremp torily. Fledn sprang to his side. "Is It my father? What has happened?" sho cried. The old man waved her aside, nnd pointed toward the house. Tho Sleeper THE Ry of Ilys snt In his huge nrm t'linir. his broad-brimmed hat on his knee in front of him. -One hand rested on the chair-arm, the other clasped the hat as though be would put It on, but his head was fallen forward on his breast. It was a picture of profound repose, but it wns the repose of death. It was evident that the Ry had prepared to leave the house, had felt n sudden weakness, and had taken to his chair to recover himself. As was evident from the normal way in which his fin gers held his hnt, nnd his hand rested on the chair-arm, death had come as gently ns a beam of light. "With his . stick ljing on the tnble beside him, and his hat on his knee, he was like one who resteel a moment before renewing a journey. There could not have been a pang in his passing. He had gone as most men wish to go iu the midst of the business of life, doing the usual things, nud bo passing into the sphere of eternity as one would go from this room to that. Onlv a few dajs before had he jielded up his temporary position as chief constable,, and had spent al most every hour since in conference with Rhodo. What he had planned would never be "known to his daughter now. It was Rhodo himself who had found his mas ter with head bowed before the Mas ter of all men. Hcfore Fleda enteied the room sho knew what awaited her; a merciful in tuition had blunted the shock to her senses. Yet when she snw the Ry on his throne of death a moan broke from her lips like that of one who sees for the last time some one indelibly dear, and turns to face stiange paths xvlth uncertain feet. She did not go to the giant figure" seated in the chair. In what she did theie xvas no panic or h.vsteriu of lacerated lieait auel shocked sense ; she onlv sank to her knees in the room a few feet away from him, and looked at him. "Father! Oh, Rj ! Oh, Uj !" sho whispered in agony, and admit ntion, too. and kept on whispering. Plcda had whispcied to him in such awe. not Only because he was her father, but because he was so much a man nmong men, n giant, with a gteat, liimheiing mind, slow to conceive, but moving in a laige, impressive way when once conception enme. To lier he hud been more than father; he liad been a pati lurch, a leader, a viking, capable of the fury of a Scjthian loid. but vv ith the tenderness of a peasant father to his fust child. "Mj Ry! My father' Oh. mv Ry of Rjh!" she kept mm muring to herself.
