"Yet you turned' down Arthur
tVestt, the best catch in your set, to
narry Peter, who was the worst,'
he reminded her. "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 The muscles in the lean jaws of
Go: don Elliot stood out like yteel
ropes. He turned to Sheba. "Am
I to congratulate Mr. Macdonald?"

warmer, but her shy glance met
his fairly. "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

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. He is the biggest man I know'
and new that he is in love with ,ii
good woman he'll rise to l<;.s
charee."
•'She ought to be told the truth
ebout Meteetse and her boy," he
insisted doggedly.

"Helen, I've got to get down town
early to-morrow morning; do you
think you can manage to get me
up?"
"Certainly, dear. What time must
you be down town?"
"Well, I ougnt to get up about 6
o'clock. 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."
Warren looked at her doubtfully.
H didn't sound logical to him. "1
don't see how you're going to man
age it." he grumbled.
"Well, I always wake up if I have
anything on my mind," Helen as
tcrted.
"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. I can
wake her after I wake up, and she'd
never wake up anyway unless she
li:ul homtthing to get her started."
W.urcn yawned and stretched at
atout 9 o'clock. "Guess I'll turn In,"
he remarked. "You're sure you can
I turn the trick now?"
Positive, dear; don't give another
t ought to it. I'll be there in about
f'fU-en minutes, as soon as 1 run in

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. She
was aroused from this deep slumber
rudely l y some one shaking her arm, |
and as she slowly gained conscious-1

are really two models in one for

to me."
"But I'll get you there on time.

Warren vouchsafed a rather ungra

"Well, Warren," I always do: but
I guess I was so wrought up about
it that it kept me from sleeping.
Anyway, I had to get up and read
a little while in the night. But I
think you'll be down town in time,
won't you?" .
"Oh, I guess I'll make it all right,
but believe me. I won't trust to your
psychological imagination next time.

Lunatics Rule Over
People iii Many Parts
of Europe and Asia
There have been a large number
of Itinatlcs and imbeciles among the
reigning houses of Europe. Not one
of the royal families is entirely free
from a hereditary taint of insanity
a taint which in ordinary life
would be regarded as an insuperable
obstacle to matrimonial alliance for
their children.
Every dynasty of the old world has
furnished its quota of princes and

King Otto of Bavaria found relief
from the tortures of insanity in the
grave. This crazy monarch's domen

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,

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
