"You blamed fool!" he burst out.
"You'd be dog-meat before you could
get ten feet away from his ditch!"
"Never mind; give me those pa
pers. I'm not. going to stand by
quietly and see a lot of men shot
down on the chance of a misunder
standing!"
"Take 'em. then!" rasped Harding
meaning nothing more than the call
ing of a foolish theorist's bluff.
Smith caught at the warrants and
before anybody could stop him he
was down upon the stagings swinging j
liimself from bent to bent through
a storm of bullets coming, not from
the commissary, but from the saloon
shack on the opposite bank—a
whistling shower of lead that made
every man in the sheriff's party duck
to cover.
How the volunteer process-server
ever lived to get across the bridge of
c'.-ath nc man might know. Thrice
in the half-minute dash he was hit:
ye* there was life enough left to
ca.-iy him stumbling across the last
or the ;taging ben's; to send him
reeling up the runway at the end and
across the working yard to the door
ol the commissary, waving the fold
ed papers like an inadequate flag of
truce as he fell on the doorstep.
After that, all things were curious
ly hazy and undefined for him.
There was the tumult of a fierce bat
tie brin ; waged over him: a deafen
ing r fie fiie and the spat-spat of
bullets puncturing the sheet-iron
walls of the commissary, in the
midst of it he lost his hold upon the
tealities, and when he got it again
the warlike clamor was stilled and
Starbuck was kneeling beside him,
trying, apparently, to deprive him of
his clothes with the reckless slash
ings of a knife.
Protesting feebly and trying to
rise, he saw the working yard filled
with armed men and the returning
throng of laborers; saw Colonel
Baldwin and Williams talking ex
citedly to the sheriff; then he caught
the eye of the engineer and beckon
ed eagerly with his one available
hand.
"Hold still, until I can find out
how dead you are!" gritted the
rough-and-ready surgeon, who was
plying the clothes-ripping knife. But
when Williams came and bent down
to listen, Smith found a voice, shrill
and strident and so little like his

"Call 'em out—call the men out
and start the gate machinery!" he
panted in the queer, whistling voice
which was, and was not, his own.
"Possess—possession is nine points
of the law —that's what Judge War
ner said: the spillways, Bartley—
shut 'em quick!"
"The men are on the job and the
machinery is starting right now,"
said Williams gently. "Don't you
hear it?" And then to Starbuck,
"For heaven's sake, do something for
him, Billy—anything to keep him
with us until a doctor can get here!"
Smith'' felt himself smiling fool
ishly.
"I don't need any doctor, Bartley;
what I need is a new ego; then I'd
stand some sha—some chance of
finding—" he looked up appealingly
at. Starbuck —"what is it that I'd
stand some chance of finding, Billy?
I —l can't seem to remember?"
Williams turned his face away and
Starbuck tightened his benumbing
grip upon the severed artery in the
r.ared arm from which he had cut
the sleeve. Smith seemed to be going
off again, hut he suddenly opened
his eyes and pointed frantically with
a finger of the one serviceable hand.
"Catch him! Catch him;" he shrill
ed. "He's going to dy-dynamite the
dam!"
Clinging to consciousness with a
grip that not even the blood loss
could break, Smith saw Williams
spring to his feet and give the alarm,
saw three or four of the sheriff's
men drop their weapons and hurl
themselves upon another man who
was trying to make his way unno
ticed to the staggings with a box of
dynamite on his shoulder. Then he
felt the foolish smile coming again
when he looked up at Starbuck.

William Starbuck drew the sur
geon aside after the first aid had
been rendered, and Smith, still un
conscious had been carried from the
makeshift operating table in the
commissary to Williams' cot in the
office shack. m
"How about it. Doc?" asked the
, mine owner bluntly.
L The surgeon shook his head doubt
fully.
"I can't say. He'll be rather lucky
if he doesn't make it, won't be?"
Starbuck remembered that the
doctor had come out in the auto with
the police captain and the two plain
clothes men.
"Hackerman has been talking?"
he queried.
The surgeon nodded. "He told me
on the way out. If 1 were in Smith's
place, I'd rather pass out with a bul
let in my lung. Wouldn't you?"

I sprang up from a deep sleep.
My room was echoing with the un- |
mistakable-sound of a child's scream :
of terror—unrestrained and soul
sickening.
"Oh! Oh! Miss Dart! Miss Dart!
Oh —h-h!"
I ran staggeringly across my room
to the (loot: leading into the dress- j
lng room connecting with the nur- ;
sery. I was dazed by sleep; I could
hardly get my bearings.
Hut all the time I was calling to!
the child I loved—"Yes, darling! I .
am coming! 1 am coming!"
I reached the dressing room door I
at last and felt the cold tile floor
beneath my baro ffeet. Now I would
he able to find my way to the nur
sery.
I ran through the second door,
stumbling as I did so and striking
my head against the door-lamb
Later there was a dark bruise on my
forehead. At the time I felt no pain
1 did not pause to turn on the
light.
•trace's screams had changed to
sobs—the sobs of a creature strug
gling for breath. I groped for her
bed.
Something moved under my out
stretched hands, and I seized It.
Was this Grace?
Before I could answer my own
mental question, the body I had
seized slipped from my grasp. I
clutched at it, caught a handful of
111 ra.V draperv. then the fabric I held
tore as -SOMEBODY eluded my
grasp.
"Grace!" I called frantically.
"Grace!"
My outstretched hands felt the
sobbing and writhing child. An in
stant later and I had switched on
the electric light at the head of the
bed.
On the bed lay a little girl whose
eyes were fixed in a stare that made
my blood freeze. Her head was
thrown back: her breath came pant
ingly from between her clenched i
teeth. ,
Voices and steps sounded from I
the wing in which Hugh and Tom ;
slept. The boys had heard Grace's
screams and were hurrying to us.
A Call For Help
"Quick! quick!" I called. "Oh
come—quick!"
Then, as Tom and Hugh Parker
rushed in I pointed to the little fig
ure on the bed.
"Turn on the hot water! Hurry!"
I ordered, nodding towards the
dressing room. "We must get her
into a bath. She has had a convul
sion." All my wits had returned
suddenly to meet the emergency.
Hugh did not pause, but ran into
the dressing room and I heard the
rush of water in the tub. A moment

later he returned, holding in his
hands my wrapper from a chair in !
my room, and a pair of slippers from
the side of my bed.
"Put these on," he said simply.
"You will catch cold."
1 had always heard that in the
face of danger one's sense of con
ventionalities becomes dead. Per
haps this is so. Certain I am that
until that instant I had 'not appre
ciated that I wore only my night
dress.
Tom had, apparently, not looked
at me. He had gone right to the
bed and was bending over the un
conscious child.
"Here comes father!" he exclaim
ed suddenly, withdrawing to the
other side of the room.
Brewster Norton hurried in, his
face white, his hair dishevelled.
"What's the matter?" he demand
ed excitedly. "Elizabeth are you"
"It is Grace!" I interrupted him.
"She has had a convulsion. We are
going to put her into a hot bath
immediately."
As I spoke I started to lift the
little one from the bed, but he
pushed me aside and took her in his
arms.
As he raised her from the pillow
the light fell full upon her throat.
On it were two dark-red marks—
the unmistakable prints of fingers.
"T,nok!" T gasped. "Look!"
Wliat Did It Mean?
My voice broke into something
almost like a scream, and Hugh
caught me by the arm.
"Steady!" he murmured. "Steady,
dear!"
"What does It mean?" her father
exclaimed, looking down at, the sin
ister marks. "What does it mean?"
"We must get her into thfc tub at
cnoe," Hugh said abruptly. "Tom —•
run and telephone for the doctor.
Hurry up! You know which doctor
to get."
"Miss Dart!" I heard Mrs. Gore
calling from downstairs. "What's
happened ?"
"Tell Adelaide not to come up
here?" Brewster Norton ordered his
son as the boy left the room. "Tell
her Grace has had a heart attack,
and that I will let her know if she's
needed. I can't have her up here
now! Make her understand that!"
Nobody spoke after he had issued
this command. We could hear Tom
run down the first flight of stairs
nnd stop there to deliver his heart
less message.
It was when the child was in the
tub that I tittered a smothared ejac
ulation.
The warm water had relaxed the
stiffened muscles, and the little
hands opened suddenly. And. as
thev did so, I saw that they had
held tightly clutched some long
strands of white tulle.
"What is that stuff?" Brewster
Norton asked, pointing to the strips
of uauice floating on the surface of
the water.
I scarcely recognized my own
voice as T answered.
"It is a part of an old wedding
veil," I said.

An Economical Way to Peel
Potatoes
Drop washed potatoes in a
vessel of rapidly boiling water
and allow them to remain ten
minutes. Remove and strip the
thin skin as when potatoes are
peeled after thorough cooking by
boiling. The potatoes will still
be practically raw and may be
handled like raw peeled pota
toes in preparing any dish, as
scalloped, French or German
fried potatoes, potato chips, etc.
One excellent way cook the
skinned potatoes is to bake them.
The entire potato, Including the
thin, golden brown crust may be
eaten.
THE "COME-BACK"
The "Come-back" man was really
never down-and-out. His weakened
condition because of over-work, lack
of exercise, Improper eating and liv
ing demands stimulation to satisfy
the cry for a health-giving appetite
and the refreshing sleep essential to
strength. GOLD MEDAI., Haarlem Oil

Advice to the Lovelorn
lly BEATRICE FAIRFAX
THE SCAR
DKAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 21 and have become engaged
recently; the young man wants me to
keep the engagement secret fom his
parents until September.
When I was five I had a serious op
eration on my face which left the jaw
scarred, and when I told the man that
this was the cause of his parents hesi
tating, he cried and said yes, that it
hurt him an awful lot to have me
bring up surh a delicate thing.
I wanted to break the engagement,
but he would not listen, and finallv I
had to promise that if his parents
were still averse to his marryiag
me that I would consent to get mar
ried. It was hard to do this because
I have always been taught to respect
my elders, but I know that the young
man I am engaged to loves me dear
ly, and I have put him off for seven
years, but now I cannot let a thing
like this break our future happiness.
The young man wants to get mar
ried soon. I have a good position,
have asked him to give me up and re
lease me from my promise, but he
will not and says he is going to tlghi
and have his parents love ine as he
does.
.T. M. S.
Yes, I think you are suffering be
cause of over-sensitiveness—and self
ishness. You are surprised to hear
that, are you not? Think it over,
though, and see if It is not true that
you are laying more stress on your
own pride and unhappiness about this
scar on your face than you are on the
happihess of the man you love. I am
printing your letter In full because
it is clearly expressive of your fine
ness and sweetness and kindness,
which are far more Important than a
slight physical blemish. I am sure
that a girl like you can win the love
and devotion of her husband's people
if she will just forget her morbid
fancies about the results of an unfor
tunate operation and will trust that
the kindness and generosity of human
nature and her own devotion are far
more important in determining hap
plnes than is a scar—a mere tiny
blemish. Don't lay the accent on the
wrong thing, my dear. You are not
afflicted, you are not repulsive, you
are not in any way handicapped or
kept from having the best to offer
the man you love. Make it a matter
of pride to win his parents. Don't
think about yourself but ahout them
and their love for their hoy. I am
sure they are not so petty and Ignoble
as to try to steal your happiness from
you". But In any event your love be
longs to you.

C. F. H.
When people advise a man or wo
man against marrying anyone who Is
afflicted, they have only one Just basis
for their attitude —the fear of an un
fortunate heredity. Nowadays even
the things which used to be regarded
as tragically hereditary tubercular
trouble and a tendency to cancer
are proven by science* as not neces
sarily curses to descend #rom one gen
eration to the next. Your sweetheart's
trouble is her own personal tragedy—
and there I think doctors will agree
it ends. Then why should she be de
