It will not be many hours now before I can say to you the things that have been grow ing in my heart for you since that night upon the ship," he said to me in a great tenderness as he raised my hand and bent to kiss it Just as en tered the great Gouverneur Faulk ner and the wild Jim. I had no the courage to gaze upon the face of my Gouverneur Faulkner but I felt its coldness strike into my body and turn it to "hardness. For a second I stood as a stone; then a sudden resolve rose in me, and again that daredevil seized upon my thought. I took a piece of that white paper with caution and also a pen cil and with them slipped from the room, while that wild Jim seated himself upon my lowly stool beside the table at which again the two great men were writing. And out in the soft light that was now slowly fading from the side of the mountain because of the retire ment of the sun I sat me down upon the step of the hut and wrote to my Gouverneur Faulkner this small let ter: Honored Excellency the Gouvern eur Faulkner of the State of Har peth—l go from you into the trench es of France. If your humble boy Robert has done for you any small service, I beg of you in that name that my uncle, the General Robert, and my friends never know of my dishonor of lies about my woman's estate, but believe me to die as a sol dier for France, as will be the case. Make all clear for me to my Cap itaine the Count de Lasselles. It is that all women are not lies. ROBERTA, Marquise of Grez and Bye. Then I left that letter upon the doorstep, held in place by the weight of a stone, and very softly slipped out into the shadows of the twilight and down the mountain by the path up which that morning I had come with my beloved Gouverneur Faulk ner, then my friend. I felt a certainty that as many as two hours would those men continue in a consulting with that wild Jim and in that time by going fleetingly J could gain the place where were, tethered the horses before a com-] plete darkness had come. From my; honored father I had learned the ways of woods in hunting, and also I knew that the good Lightfoot; would in darkness carry me in safe- ; tv to his stall in the barn of Mr. Bud Bell, beside which stood my! cherry. From there I could gain the city of Hayesville in the dead hours of the night and in those same dead hours depart to France after obtain ing the money I had left in my desk and which I had earned by my labors and would not be in the act of steal ing fro mtho state of Harpeth. Only one night and day would I be alone in the forest, and I did not care if a death should overtake me. In my body my heart was dead, and why should I desire the life of that body? CHAPTER XVI. "You Are—Myself!" And as I had planned I then ac complished. I discovered that Lightfoot at pasture, an dl quickly had placed the saddle upon him and had turned him down the mountain to choose a safe path for both himself and me. 1 did not look upon those cradles of fragrant boughs In which the hoy Robert had lain at rest beside his great friend, the Gouverneur Faulkner, from whom he had stolen faith and af fection. "Why did not you also steal his pocketbook as he lay asleep beside you. Roberta, marquise of Grez and Bye?" I questioned myself with scorn and torture, as good Lightfoot crash ed down from that Camp Heaven Into the dark night. And on we rode, the large horse with the woman upon his back, for a long night, through fragrant thick ets that caught at my riding breech es with rose tendril fingers and un der thick forests of budding trees, through whose branches of tender leaves the wise old stars looked looked down upon my bitter weep ing with nothing of comfort, per haps because they had grown of a hardness of heart from having seen so many tears of women drop in the silence of a lonely night • Then came a dawn and a moon and a twilight, through which I pushed forward only pausing beside streams to allow that he drink of the water and also to throw myself down on my face and lap the cool refreshment like do all humble things. And when at last the stars were again there to leek down upon me we arrived behind the barn of that Bud Bell to find all In the house at rest. I thought of that small child in sleep in the arms of that woman, and a great sobbing came from my heart as I threw myself Into my cherry, after giving a supper to good T -ightfoot, and fled down the long road to the distant city of Hayes ville that lay away In the valley like n great nest of glowworms in a glade of the leaves of darkness. And among those glowworms, I knew that more than a hundred friend to me were beginning to go into sleep with deep affection in their hearts for that Rob ert Carruthers whom wicked Rob erta, marquise of Grez and Bye. was about to steal from them. I wept as I turned my cherry through the back street and Into the garage of my uncle, the General Robert. Then I paused. All was quiet in the house, and ni light burned In the apartments of my beloved protector and relative. From the watch at my wrist I ascer tained the hour to be half after 10 o'clock, and I knew thkt he was safely In cards at that club of Old Hickory, whose lists now bore the added one of another Robert Car ruthers, man of honor and at scendant of Its founders. Also there was no light in the rear of the 'house in the apartment of that kind Klzzie, In whose affections I had made a large place. A dim light burned In the hall and I knew that there I would find my faithful choco late Bonbon sitting upon a chair by the great door asleep.

All's Well That Ends Well By Jane McLean When three people take it into their heads to spend a week-end vacation at the same time and in the same place, and Fate takes a hand in the game, strange things happen. The rich James Warfield packed up and sped away to the Mountain House for a few days' rest from irksomt business. Miss Phyllis Graham, who up to the time that she was introduced to Sir. Warfield, had no idea that he existed, packed a steamer trunk full of pretty clothes and decided to run up to the Moun tain House for over Sunday. Little Mary Field, who had read about the Mountain House in the paper, and had written for accom modations, found that she could squeeze Into the smallest room for the amount of twelve dollars for three days. So she did up her simple white organdie, and packed it with some with skirts and middy blouses in her well-worn suit case, and set out for the Mountain House, too. Of course the first morning these three young people spent in the mountains Miss Phyllis Graham swept down to breakfast in the crispest of summer gowns. Her blonde hair shone with careful brushing, she was immaculate from her hands to her feet, and she was enormously interested in the rich James Warfield, who was eating his breakfast at a tabel across the room. Neither the girl nor the man saw the little brown girl In the corner in a white sailor blouse and well cleaned canvas pumps, who gazed ecstatically out of the window as she mechanically ate her elaborate breakfast. Perhaps this story might not have been a story if Fate had not de cided to take a hand. Fate gen erally keeps a pretty good watch on things and give people boosts Just when life itself seems unfair, and so It was Fate who introduced Miss Phyllis Graham and little Mary Field to the rich James Warfield within fifteen minutes from the time breakfast was over. The hotel proprietor performed the ceremony in the case of Phyllis. He knew the girl's father, and Phyllis her self was under his wife's care while she sojourned at the Mountain House. So he made it a point of having her meet the most eligible man there, and James Warfield was not at all sorry to meet Phyllis, who was beautiful enough to satisfy any man's standards. But no one would have taken the trouble to introduce Mary Field if Fate hadn't taken the matter into her own hands. James Warfield had his dog with him, a handsome collie, and while Mary was sitting on the wide veranda trying to de cide what to do first. Ned, the collie, came up to her, looked into her brown eyes a minute, and then de liberately laid his head on the girl's knee. Mary flushed delightedly, and James Warfield, who knew that Ned DAILY DOT PUZZLE 6 • Q 7 3, 1 * 1 ? • Is .11 5 '. 9 • 4 *<4 *24 * 17 .15 25 #l ® *' fc . 1& •33 23 lo *32 „• *22. • Zb • 21 Si • Co I z . 7 j o[ HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH never went wrong in his choice of friends, came over and spoke to Mary lightly. "You must like doers." "Oh, I do. But I haven't known many." "Net doesn't take to everyone. Don't you want to join the party we are getting up to drive to the Falls? We are going to start in half an hour." "Oh, yes," Mary responded eaper ly. She did not stop to realize how different she was in her sailor blouse and out-of-date skirt from the other girls who lounged about the veranda, nor that she didn't know anyone at all. She simply accepted delightedly, and James Warfleld made up his mind to look out for her. And so they started. "Who is the queer little girl you were talking to?" ' Phyllis chided gently, as they drove off side by side. The young people were packed into two huge carryalls and Phyllis sat next to James Warfleld, while Little Mary Field was tucked away into an undesirable corner. But she was happy, the drive in the morn ing air filled her with delight and Ned. the collie, who had insisted upon crowding in with, her, sat at her feet. "Just a little girl who looked lonely," Warfleld responded care lessly. The charm of the girl' with him made him forget everything else, and he had put Mary out of his mind already. And so she was alone all day. She sat alone when they opened the picnic baskets, and al though she jite the food placed be fore her, she began to realize that she was very much of an outsider. And then Fate played her trump card for. Mary's benefit. A huge tour ing car appeared down the road in a cloud of dust, and Ned who had been sitting contentedly on the grass ran out and began to bark at it. War field did not pay much attention, and it was not until there was a yelp of pain from the animal and the car had whizzed by and disap peared down the road, that he turned from Phyllis. "Ned," he gasped, "Ned, old boy." "O, he's hurt," shrieked Phyllis. "He's bleeding. Don't let him get near me. I'm afraid he'll have a fit." The other girls drew back and huddled in a heap, while the men clustered around Warfleld. At least all the girls did excepting the little brown girl who had been sitting alone on the grass. She pushed her way through the crowd and took the dog's head on her lap. It was she who fixed the tournaquet about the broken leg, and who bandaged with small nimble fingers the torn flesh. At last when the dog licked her hand feebly, she looked up and met Warfield's eyes. There was some thing in their depths that made him wonder what he had ever seen in Phyllis Graham's blue ones. But then James Warfleld hadn't seen Fate hovering around in the back ground. Neither had Phyllis, nor little Mary Field. . The Philadelphia Dentist Is Now Located at 1 N.
