CHAPTER XI
Slii'lui Says "Perhaps"
Obeying tho orders of tho genoral
In command, Peter took himself to
his den with the excuse that he had
blue-prints to work over. Presently
Diane- said she thought she heard
one of the children crying and left
to Investigate.
The Scotsman strode to the tire
place and stood looking down into
tho glowing coals. He seemed in
no hurry to break the silence and
Sheba glanced at his strong brood
ing face a little apprehensively. She
knew of only one subject that would
call for so formal a private talk be
tween her and Macdonald, and tny
discussion of this she would vory
much have liked to postpone.
He turned from the fire to Sheba.
!t was characteristic of hini that he
plunged straight at what he wanted
to say.
"I've asked to see you alone, Miss
O'Neill, because I want to make a
confession and restitution —to be
gin with," he told her abruptly.
She had a sense of suddenly stilled
pulses. "That sounds very serious."
Tho young woman smiled faintly.
His face of chiseled granite
masked all emotion. It kept under
lock and key the insurgent impulses
that moved him when he looked
into the sloe eyes charged with re
serve. Back of them, he felt, was
Ilie mystery of purity, of maiden
hood. He longed to know her better,
1o find out and to appropriate for
himself the woman that lay behind
the fine veil of flesh. She seemed
to him delicate as flame and as
vivid. There would come a day
when her innocent, passional nature
would respond to the love of a man
as a waiting harp does to skillful
fingers.
"My story goes away back to the
Klondike days. I told you that I
knew your father on Frenchman
creek, but I didn't say much abont
knowing him on Bonanza."
"Mr. Strong has told me some
thing about the days on Bonanza,

"Your father was among the first
of those who stampeded to Bonanza.
He and Strong took a claim together.
I bought out the interest of your
father."
"You told me that."
His masterful eyes fastened to
hers. "I didn't tell you that I took
advantage of him. He was —not
well. I used that against him in the
bargaining. He wanted ready
money, and I tempted him.
"Do you mean that you—wronged
him?"
"Yes. I cheated him." He re
solved to gloss over nothing, to offer
no excuses. "I didn't know there
was gold in the claim, but I had
what we call a hunch. I took the
claim without giving value received."
"But I don't understand." Her
brave, steady eyes looked directly
into those of Macdonald. "If he

was ill?"
"He was coming to demand, just

you risked your life by carrying him
through the storm how you
wouldn't give up and leave him,
though you were weak and stag
gering yourself. He says it was a
miracle you ever got through."
"I'm not heartless," said Macdon
ald impatiently. "Of course I did
that. I had to do it. I couldn't do
less."
"Nor more," she suggested. "You
i may have made a hard bargain with
| him, but you wiped that out later.
"That's just what I didn't do.
Don't think my conscience is troub.
! ling me. I'm not such a mush
j brained fool. It it had not been for
| you I would never have thought of
lit again. But you are his daughter.
| What I cheated him out of belongs
i to you—and you are my friend."
"Don't use that word about what
you did, please. He wasn't a child.
If you got the best of him in a bar
gain, I don't think father would
think of it that way."
The difficulty was that he could
not tell her the truth about her
father's weakness for drink and how
he had played upon it. He bridged
all explanations and passed to the
thing he meant to do in reparation.
"The money I cleaned up from
that claim belongs to you. Miss
O'Neill. You will oblige me by tak
ing it."
From his pocket he took a folded
paper and handed it to her. Sheba
opened it doubtfully. The paper
contained a typewritten statement
and to it was attached a check by
means of a clip. The check was
made out to her and signed by Colby
Macdonald. The amount it called
for was $183,431.
"Oh, I couldn't take this, Mr.
Macdonald—l couldn't. It doesn't
belong to me," she cried.
"It belongs to you —and you're go
ing to take it."
"I wouldn't know what to do witti
so much."
"The bank will take care of It for
you until you decide. So that's set
tled." He passed ' definitely from
the subject. "There's something else
I want to say to you, Miss O'Neill.'.'
Some change in his voice warned
her. The girl slanted a quick, shy
glance at him.
"I want to know if you'll marry
me. Miss O'Neill," he shot at her
abruptly. Then, without giving her
time to answer, he pushed on: "I'm
older than you—by twenty-five
years. Always I've lived on the
frontiers. I've had to take the world
by the throat and shake from it
what I wanted. So I've grown hard
and willful. All the sweet, fine
things of life I've missed. But with
you beside me, I'm not too old to
find them yet—if you'll show me
the way, Sheba."
A wave of color swept into her
face, but her eyes never faltered
from his. "Im not quite sure," she
said in a low voice.
"You mean —whether you love
me?"
She nodded. "I—admire you more
than any man I ever met. You are
a great man, strong and powerful—
and I am so insignificant beside
you. I—am drawn to you—so
much. But —I am not mire."

S "THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
| Copyright by International News Scrrioe
"I hope you don't play with her,"
whispered Louise to Helen.
"Why, what's the matter?
"Well, my dear, this is the first
time I have really been out to a
social function since the baby came,
and actually I feel as though I ought
to go right back into the hospital
and be treated for all kinds of ail
ments."
Helen could not help smiling.
She was not a nervous woman her
self, and could not Imagine that
anything a stranger might say would
affect her In the least.
"All right, smile! Just for a pun
ishment, I hope you have to play at
the table with her all afternoon."
"Very well, I'll tell you on the way
home If I am at all nervous." And
Helen left Louise with a laugh.
Helen Is Curious
Helen and Louise and several
other women they knew were at a
bridge given for charity. The wom
an in question, whom Louise had
pointed out to Helen and told her
to beware of, was a simple, unos
tentatious-looking creature dressed
rather badly in a mussy frock that
looked as if It had come out of the
ark.
Helen could not Imagine herself
being frightened by anything a
woman like that could say, not even
when she discovered, much to her
amusement, that the woman was to
play opposite her at the next table.
Helen was frankly curious about her,
however. If there were anyone else
to share the joke with her, she
might enjoy the entire thing, she
thought to herself. But the other
two women were also strangers, or
strangers to Helen, although they
seemed to know Mrs. Sanford rather
1 well.
"Go on with what you were tell
ing us," said one, as Helen began
to shuffle the cards.
The woman looked across at Hel
en, who smiled.
"Oh, pease don't mind me," Helen
said agreeably.
"I was just telling Mrs. Williams
about a rather unpleasant experience
I had this fall," she explained. "If
you are at all interested, it might be
well for you to hear It, too."
"By all means," Helen agreed.
"You see, I followed the advice
of my friends, who kept telling me
that all physicians find something
wrong the minute you go to them
for an examination of any kind."
"And you were so miserable, too,"
said the woman called Mrs. Wil
liams, indignantly.
"Well, you see, ttyey didn't think
so. They all thought I imagined
half of it."
"Don't you think we often do that
very thing?" queried Helen.
An Argument
Two of the other women looked
at her coldly; the third looked half
frightened.
"I don't agree with you," said one.
Helen began to deal the cards and
said nothing.
Mrs. Sanford went on with her
story. "Well, as I was saying," she
remarked, "they all thought I imag
ined these symptoms, and I felt
ashamed to really consult a doctor
about matters, because of being ridi
culed. It just goes to show how
wrong my friends were and how
foolish I was to have anything to do
with them, or to listen to anything
they might tell me."
"You did wait, then?" asked Mrs.
Williams.
"Yes, I did wait I waited until It
was almost too late, and I nearly
died when I was finally operated
upon."

"How awful!" exclaimed Mrs.]
Williams, who seemed to be intense
ly interested. Helen, who was only
moderately interested in morbid
women who liked to discuss their
ailments in public, made no remark.
She looked instead at the third
woman, who had said little or noth
ing. She looked rather white and
pale. Helen smiled at her reassur
ingly. "Can you make it anything?"
she asked kindly.
The woman .started. "Oh, yes, it
is my bid," she remarked hurriedly.
"One heart."
The bid went around and nothing
more was said until the hand was
played. Then, while the cards were
being dealt, Mrs. Sanford turned to
Helen quickly.
"You said that women often do
imagine ailments, Mrs. Curtis," she
remarked.
"Why, yes, I do think so," Helen
returned. "I know I often do. I
think we all are apt to magnify
little things."
"That's what my friends said to
me," Mrs. Sanford returned. "I used
to imagine things were the matter
with me for so long that when the
time came and I really was ill I
coudn't convince anyone."
"Well, there you are," said Helen.
"You see your remark proves just
what I said."
"Imagination certainly can do a
great deal," said the quiet little
woman on Helen's left. "I have
worried myself almost Into a fit of
illness often."
"That's all right," said Mrs. San
ford ,angry at the fact that her in
formation had made no impression
on Helen. "There may come a time
when something is really wrong, and
' you won't have it attended to until
too late."
Helen saw the little woman pale
suddenly, and her hands trembled.
"You're frightening this lady," Helen
said quickly. "Let's not talk any
more about illnesses and, operations
just now."
The little woman looked at Helen
gratefully, and the game went on.
Helen wondered why women liked
to talk of these things, but they did,
and each liked to go the other one
better in gruesome experiences, too.
It certainly did the woman with a
nervous temperament a great deal of
unnecessary harm.
