"Have you ever ►•een sorry for it?" Shn recurred to the previous ques tion. "Sheba knows more about [Mr. Macdonald than you thinlc. And fcbout how he got her father's claim, ifor instance —she has heard all Ithat." •'You told her?" "No. Colby Macdonald told her. He said he practically robbed her father, and he gave her a check fcr inear!j* two hundred thousand to trover the cleanup from the claim land interest." "EnJly for him." On the 'iee' of this he flung a question at her. "'Did Macdonald ask her to marry Jim the night of the dinner"" A flash of whimsical amusement lit her dainty face. "You'd better ask him that. Here he comes now " They were coming down tha walk together, Macdonald and Sheba. The young woman was absorbed m his talk, and she did not know that her cousin and Elliot were' on the porch until she was close upon them. But a*, sight of the young man her eyes became warm and kind. "I'm sorry I was out yesterday when you called," she told him. "And you were out again to-day. My luck isn't very good, is it?" He laughed pleasantly, but his heart was bitter. He believed Mac donald had won. "We've had such a good walk," Sheba went on quickly. "I wish you could have heard Mr. Macdonald telling me how he had a chance to save a small Eskimo tribe during a hard winter. He carried food five hundred miles to them. It was a thrilling experience." "Mr. Macdonald has had a lot of very interesting experiences. You must get him to tell you about all of them," answered Gordon quietly. The eyes of the two men met. The steel-gray ones of the older man answered the challenge of his rival with a long, steady look. There was in it something of triumph, some thing of scornful insolence. If this young fellow wanted war, he did not need to wait long for it. "Time enough for that. man. Miss O'Xeill and I have the whole Arctic winter before us for stories."

"I think it is I that am to be congratulated, Mr. Elliot." Diane took her cousin in her arms. "My dear, I wish you all the liappinesb in the world," she said softly. The Irish girl fled into the house as soon as she could, but not before making an announcement. "We're to be married soon, very quietly. If you are still at Kuslak we want you to be one of the few friends present, Mr. Elliot." Macdonald backed her invitation with a cool, cynical smile. "Miss O'Neill speaks for us both, of course, Elliot." The defeated man bowed. "Thanks very much. The chances are that I'll be through my business before then." i As soon as his fiancee had gone into the house, the Scotsman left. Gordon sat down in a porch chair and stared straight in front of him. The suddenness of the news had brought his world tumbling about his ears. He felt that such a mar riage would be an outrage against Sheba's innocence. Though she was sorry for him, Diane did not think it best to say so yet. Presently he spoke thickly. "I suppose you have heard that he was a squaw man." "That's ridiculous. Don't be ab surd. Gordon." "It's the truth. I've seen the woman. She was pointed out to me." "By old Gideon I-lolt, likely," she flashed. "One could get evidence and show it to Miss O'Neill," he said aloud, to himself rather than to her. Diane put her point of view be fore him with heated candor. "You couldn't. Nobody but a cad would rake up old scandals about the man TUESDAY -EVENING, ' HxftIISBURGF tSSiI VEt3BQFItS6ra * : JAfNu|iß i 1918. who has beaten him fairly for ai woman's love." "You beg the question. Has he won fairly?" "Of course he has. Be a good sport, Gordon. Do't kick on the umpire's decision. Play the game." "That's all very well. But what about her? Am I to sit quiet while she is sacrificed to a code of honor that seems to me rooted in dis honor?" "She is not being sacrificed. I'm her cousin. I'm very fond of her. And I'd trust her with Colby Jlac donald." "Play fair, Diane. Tell her the truth about this Indian woman and , let your cousin decide for herself. You can't do less, can you?" Mrs. Paget was distinctly an noyed. "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Gordon Elliot. You take all the gossip of a crack-brained old idiot for gospel truth just because you want to believe the worst about Mr. Macdonald. Colby Mac donald is too big and too aggressive not to have made hundreds of ene mies. His life has been threatened dozens of times. But he pays no attention to it—goes right on build-1 ing up this country. Yet you'd! think he had a cloven hoof to hear tome people talk. I've no patience with them." "The woman's name is Meteetse," Gordon said in an even voice, just as if he were answering a question, j "She is young and good-looking for' an Indian. Her boy is four or live years old. Colmac, they call him, and he looks just like Macdonald." "People are always tracing resem blances. There's nothing to that. But suppose his life was irregular-- years ago. This isn't Boston. It use dto be the fringe of civilization. Men did as they pleased in the early days." "This wasn't in the early days. It' was five years ago, when Macdonald was examining the Kamatlah coal j field. I'm told he sends a check: down the river once a month for the! woman." , "All the more credit to him if he does." Diane rose and looked stormily down at her friend. "You're about as broad as a clam, Gordon. Can't you see that even if it's true, till that is done with? It is a part of his past—and it's finished —trodden underfoot. It hasn't a thing to do | with Sheba." "I don't agree with you. A men! can't cut loose entirely from his' past. It is a part of him—and Mac- J donal'l's past isn't good enough for SUeba O'Neill." Diane tapped her little foot im patiently on the floor. "Do you know many men whose pasts are good enough for their wives? Colbv Macdonald is good enough for any woman alive if he loves her ennugh." "You don't know him." "I know him far better than you; dn.

This is a business deal, and it Is important that I get down early in order to see to things." "I'll get -oreakfast for you myself," said Helen, triumphantly. "What's the matter with Mary?" queried Warren. "Why, nothing, dear, but I thought I wouldn't bother to get Mary up so early. "The idea! It won't hurt her for once. The way you spoil your serv ants. Helen, it's no wonder that they walk all over you." "Well, if you'd rather have Mary get breakfast I'll tell her," said Helen, getting up and putting her knitting down on a chair. "Wait a minute. Has Mary an alarm clock?" "I don't think so. Warren." "How are we going to wake up, I then?" ' "I'm sure I'll wake up. dear. You can trust me to see that you get down town in time."

"All right, I'll try you this once. You women have the strangest ideas! j Imagine, now, waking up because >ou have something on your mind." 'Well," said Helen, "it's a fact: ask anyone, dear." . / "Just the same, I'd feel a lot safer if we l.ad an alarm clock." Helen resumed her seat. "There's no need of my telling Mary.

Warren did not say anything, and he was sound asleep when Helen [ slipped into bed some time later. Helen found that she did not fall aslec,' as easily as usual. It was probably due to the fact that she had something in her min'J. Try as she would, however, sleep would not come, and she finally decided to get up nnd lead awhile. After half an hour's reading she crept into bed once more and dropped into a heavy sleep almost ns soon as her head touched the pillow.

This crazy monarch's domen 'tin was like that of Nebuchadnezzar, and led him to believe'that he was either a tour-footed animal or a J?' ~- He was a rav iiK lunatic all his life and was confined to the C astle of t urstenseid. Once he man aged to escape and make his way to Munich, where, entering St. Michael's church, he threw himself down on his knees before the altar and com menced to beseech the Almighty, in a loud tone of voice, that He would 'graciously restore the light of rea son to His unhappy servant, Otto, in order that he might become a bless, lng to his people." The painful scene was brought to a close by a priest who had long known the king as a boy. Recognizing his monarch, he succeeded in quietly leading him awny into the sacristy. Otto's predecessor on the throne of Bavaria, Louis 11, was drowned in Lake Staremberg while attempting to escape, after having been placed under restraint as insane. Before his ministers and relatives resorted to the extreme measure of depriving him of the reins of power the lunacy of Louis involved his government in all sorts of compli cations. When seized and confined he had just completed the organiza tion of a conspiracy to kidnap the late King Humbert of Italy, the fath er of King Einanuel, then a mere boy, to carry him off from Piedmont, where he was staying at the time, to some mountainous fastness in Ba varia, and to hold him a close pris oner there until the king had con sented, as the price of his son's re- I -LADIES you will be more than pleased to own a copy of the Winifred Worth Crochet Book It contains 65 stunning designs.
