"Theu follow it. Little Brother,"
said Pindar, setting the dog down on

The dog bniffed the ground and quick
ly found the trail he bought. Then he
trotted along ahead through the thick,
blinding fog.
Higher and higher he led them among
the hills, coming at last to a great wall
of rocks. "Go very quietly," the dog
sniffed to Pindar, and the giant ele
phant lifted and put down his feet
without muking a sound. They went
along the wall until they reached an
opening. Looking into the opening
they saw a long passage, and at the
end of the passage was u vast chamber.
The chamber was crowded with Hin

Peggy and Oo-la-la gave a quick
gasp of astonishment the glowing,
ehining, glinting light on the ground
was uot a lamp at all! It was a
heaped up pile of precious gems "ems
worth millions and millions of dollars.
(Tomorrow will oe told how they

was not there, and she drew a deep
breath of relief.
She now filed her attention on Slim
Jackson, and tried to catch his eje.
Hut to the music of the piano and
one violin Slim was again giving an
exhibition with bin dancing partner.
Jennie slipped through the screens and
made for the table Slim occupied be

Her entrance was hailed by it score
of voices coming from those persona
that the guide t,f the sightseeing car
had indicated as being crooks, confi
dence men, and kindred gentry. .Ten

hfr memorj began she had known these
(men, or such as these.
While standing at a table and chalt

some bublness in the wiretupping wa,
she was caught from behind aud swept
out into the dancing spate. Ilibtiiic
tively she fell into step eeu b"fore she
saw who this capturing partner wuu.
"What do you mean, Slim?" she
gasped. "You almost scured mc to
death !"
"That's all right. Jen. Come on.
finish this out with me nud let's show
this bunch how it really ought to be

Not till theu did Jennie notice that
Slim's professional partner had sat
down aud that thej two were dancing
alone. She caught the Midden mw in

"Listen, Slim," she whispered rap
idly. "I came down u while ago to

"It's that Morrison check."

"That's not ull I came to nee you

I'm not gotug to let dad have to pay it.

"Thanks for the wish. Jen." He
tried to speak facetiously. "But if Its

But she wab not to bo diverted ; she
was instantly back to the point. "Come

"You lie, Slim, and you know that

held out u hand. "The twelve-fifty,
Slim and quick!"
Ho hesitated, looking meditatively
at the commanding, slender figure which
still worn its skirts short of a woman's

"There ou are; I wus only kidding

"No. but I can get It."
"How'll you fix the thing?"
"I'll slip the money in among dad'd

honest, and Indeed he had a right to

places he was eventua'ly to reach,

TC1XCITEMENT was In the air at
Tng'enook farm house. The two eld
est daughters flitted about in gala at
tire, nutting the last touches to an in
viting dinner table set for three. Iaut
night .this note had come from brother
John at co'lege: "David passing through
Winslow tomorrow on a hurried trip.

pleasure of meeting my best chum, and
incidentally to' Impress unon him whnt a

Hence the .excitement, for secretly
both Grace and Isabel Blair cherished

for the others to decide that Peggy
must take her place and serve the din-.

But a maidless dinner for such a guest
was not to be thought of for u minute.
Of course, he could not know that
Peirgy was not the real maid, und if
John hadtold him of throe sisters they
could casilv make excuses for her ab
sence. Peggy was sorelv taxed with
the effort to keep back hot tears, for
since the little mother had slipped away
one sorrowful day, more and more the
dominating spirjt of the sisters had
pushed her, like Cinderella, into the
background. Dad was a dear, but too

needled RHlv. the fifth and youngest
member of the family, still freckled aud
ungrammalical. As loyal a supporter
of Peggy as he was an able tormentor
of the two "highbrows," his barcastic
name for the presiding graces of this
affair, h" also had been banished to the
Kitchen for his dinner, for Bi'ly s man
ners might slip a cog at anj mraute
and bring disaster to the party.
"Gee! Peg," he cried in hearty sj'm
pathj , "they know he wouldn't look
twice ut them after ho spoke to jou.
But when tho Prin;o comes along to fit
the slipper they'll be glad to hide their
big feet under the chair."
The train puffed in, and away again,
and though Peggy was aching to see
the arrival, she spited herself by re
fraining from the smallest peek. Came
the dinner summons, nnd she stepped
deftly about the table with her dainty
dishes, only red spots lu her cheeks and
u determined tilt to her chin betraying
any feelings which might be foreign to
a serving maid.
All seemed to be going beautifully,
though the sisters experienced un odd
misgiving at .the way the guest's eyes
kept lingering on the kitchen door.
Time for the lust course, but just us
it was about to be carried In, a wild
commotion came through the open win
dows such woofing, squealing and
grunting, while a despairing wail echoed
near the back door. "Aw, Sis, for the
love o' Mike, come help me. Diogenes
is out again, and he's rampaging over
I m ' ,' T ... , ,' ",, r,.
' '"r "wer beds like a Bolbhevik!"
Down went the dessert on the table.
end away flew Peggy to tho rescue.
Sufcty first, for her beloved garden.
Round nnd round it sailed a fat pig,
christened Diogenes, because when he
was small he had u chosen tub for his
Bleeping room, and all through his

"But listen, Jen. I'm figuring you In
this with me."
"Me,! How?"
"As dancing partner."
"But you already have Daisy
White." ,
"Dalsy-oh, God, that covvt Why,
carrying her as a load, I'm hardly up
to the level of holding down even this
Job. She's canned though she doesn't
know It yet."
"Why, I thought you and Duisy
were (o be married."
"Nothing to It, Jen. Oh, there may
have been a love seeno or two but just
the usual thing, you know. Nothine
to It at all, Jennie! Listen, now
get this strulght. I've got a good idea
for an act and ouch a team as we'd
make, we'd boon bo hcadllners!"
"I say that I am going up, too way
up. Only, Slim you and I are not go
ing up together!"
"But I bald I'd marry you!" ho ex
claimed. "And I'll say now, Slim," she went
on in her mocking drawl, "that I
wouldn't marry jou if you were twice
as big as your blggoi dreams."
For a moment he stood stock-still,
gaaing at her. He really cared for her,
and his great plans had not Included the
possibility of. such a rebuff. Then his
lean cheeks flushed.
"Curse you!" nnd he sprang for
ward and threw his arms around her.
In him was au uprushing desire to
avenge her insult by inflicting bodily
suffering which would leave no telltale
marks as evidence, na blows unfortu
nately do, he thought' of a clever, ex
cruciating twist of the arm with which
he was well acquainted, Jennie made
no outcry : she was quick enough of wit
to know that a call for help would re
sult in her father getting word of this
meeting, and sho wanted no such out
come. (CONTINUED TOMOnilOW)
joung life seemed to be seurching for
something, for it tuxed Billy's ingen
uitj to keep him in the pen.
Picture the coustcrnutloii of the sis
ters, when the guest rose, with. "Please
excuse mc, I may be able to help."
Never will they forget that scene! Tho
pig ran as if on if wager, giving a -vicious
root here uud there, with Billy
a close becoud. In the rear panted
1'eggy, her hair pulled loose bj a rose
branch, cap hnng on oue ear, apron
askew. Suddenly Diogenej decided thut
"miff's nuff," und headed for au open
lug through the rose arbor, like a thor
oughbred sprinting under the wire.
Somebody stepped right in his way and
in his one moment of indecis'nn Billy
fell bodily upon him with a lout of
triumph. But Peggy rHii plv..np into
the arms of David McNeill und couldn't
get Away. "Peg-o-myheart," ho bald
very boldly and accusingly, "did you
think for one minute that you could
hide from me iu this disguise, when I
have btudied our picture on -John'n
desk for a whole terir.C He has shared
jour letters with mc, but part' of a
loaf doesn't satisfy me any longer, and
I came today for the express purpose
of getting jour promise to write a great
many wore, all my very own. I was
wondering how I could follow you to
the kitchen and capture you there,
when that blessed pig helped mc out."
You may think that he wus taking
things very much for granted, but Peg's
ejes and blushes were telling a .great
deal.
Then Billy, still clutching tho run
away's legs, awoke to the situation,
and his smile mnde a wide rift in the
freckles. "Horay for Diogenes!" he
cried; "Cinderella's fairy godmother
ain't got nothing on him!" And after
events proved this to be true.

EUROPE BECOMES RESTIVE
England and France May Not Walt
for U. S. Treaty Action
London, Nov. 10. (By A. P.)
Great Britain and France are consider
ing whether they are not compe'led to
carry out the German peace treaty and
operate the league of nations indepen
dently of the United States, pending
the decision of tho American govern
ment on its course.
Tt is pointed out that matters arc
continually arising under the treaty
which need immediate attention, such
us plebiscite commissions, and delay is
considered no longer possible.
The belief still exists in this capital
that the American government will
ultimately take its place with the Allies.
Meanwhile there appears to be a pos
sibility that Great Britain and the
others will proceed without the United
States.
