She told herself tliat! this was some of Wally Selfridge'a deviltry. Anyhow, she would talk! it over with Peter. The reason Wally was so pleased I with himself was that he had | dropped a hint into the ear of thei wounded man not to clear Elliot of| complicity in the attack upon him. i The news that the special investi- i gator had been arrested for rob-1 ber.v and attempted murder, flashed | all over the United States, would go j far to neutralize any report he might' make against the validity of the! Macdonald claims. If to this could f be added later reports of an indict-j ment, a trial, and possibly a con viction, it would not matter two straws what Klliot said in his offi-S cial statement to the land office.

Iti looker as if Selfridge had made up his mind tc frame Gordon for a prison sentence The worst of it was that he need not invent any evidence or take any chances. If Macdonald came through on'the stand with an identification of Elliot as one of his assailants, the young" man would go down the rivei fro serve time. There was enough corroborative testimony to convict St. Peter himself. "I'm just telling you what he said," Diane explained. "And it worried me. His smile was cynical. I couldn't help thinking that if he wants to get even "with Gordon —" Mrs. Paget stopped. The maid had just brought into the room a visitor. Diane moved forward and shook hands with him. "How do you do, Mr. Strong? Take this big chair." Hanford Strong accepted the chair and a cigar. He came promptly to the object of his call. "I don't know whether this is where I should have come o- not. Are you folks for young Elliot or are you for Selfridge?" he demanded. "If you put it that way, wS're for Elliot," smiled Peter. "All right. Let me put it another way. You work for Mac Are you on his side or on Elliot's in this mat ter of the coal claims?" Diane looked at Peter. He took his time to answer. "We hope the coal claimants will win, but we've got sense enough to see that Gordon is in here to report the facts. That's what he is paid for. He'll tell the truth as he sees it. If his superior officers decide on those facts against Macdonald, I don't see that Elliot is to blame." "That's how J t looks to me," agreed Strong. "I'm for a wide open Alaska, but that don't make it right to put this young fellow through for a crime he didn't do. Fact is, I like him. He's square. So I've come to tell you some thing." He smoked for a minute silently before he continued. "I've got no evidence in his favor, but I bumped into something a little while ago that didn't look good to me. You know I room next him at the hotel. I heard a noise in his room, and I thought that was funny, seeing as he was locked up in jail. So I kinder listened and heard whispers and the sound of some one moving about. There's a door be tween his room and mine that is kept locked. I looked through the keyhole, and In Elliot's room there was Wally Selfridge and another man. They were looking through papers at the desk Wally put a stack of them in his pocket and they went out, locking the door be hind them." "They had no business doing that." burst out Diane. "Wally Selfridge isn't an officer of the law." Strong nodded dryly to her. "Just what I thought. So I followed them. They went to Macdonald's offices. After a while Wally came out and left the other man there. Then presently the lights went out. The man is camped there for the night. Will you tell me why?" "Why?" repeated Diane with her sharp eyes on the miner. "Because Wally has some papers there he don't want to get away from him." "Some of ■ Gordon's papers, of course." "You've said it." "All his notes and evidence in the case of the coal claims, probably," contributed Peter. "Maybe. Wally has stolen them, but he hasn't nerve enough to burn them till he gets orders from Mac. So he's holding th*m safe at the office," guessed Strong. "It's an outrage." "Surest thing you know. Wally has fixed It to frame him for prison and to play safe about his evidence on the coal claims " "What are you going to do about it?" Diane asked her nusband sharply. Peter rose. "First I'm going to see Gordon and hear what he has to say. Come on, Strong. We may be gone quite a while, Diane. Don't wait up for me if you get through your stint of nursing." Gopher Jones let them into the ramshackle building that 3erved as a jail, and after three dollars had jingled in the palm of his Hand he stepped outside and left the men alone with his prisoner.

Jan. 4.—Men in the office of the North British and Mercantile Insurance Company in New York City will be surprised to learn that their old time manager thet late Ilenry Eckford Bowers N cherished a secret romance through out his long and active life. Mr. Bowers was a native of Nor wich. Back in the days before the Civil War, when his family resided in the unpretentious section of Norwich, known as "The Falls," young Bowers was a student, at Norvfich Free Academy, graduating with the class of 1862. His vacations were spent in work of different sorts, sometimes in offices in the neighboring mills. "Poor, but proud," when he fell in love with the daughter of Christopher C. Brand, who had amassed what was then considered a large fortune through his invention of a whaling gun and bomb lance, he kept his secret to himself. "Sue" (her intimates called her) Brand was destined to wed far up in the social scale, on a plane to which Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton 9616 Waistcoats, small 34 or 36, medium 38 or 40, large 42 or 44 bust. \?rice 10 cent*. young Bowers had then little hope of climbing. Through his attractive personality and gentlemanly manners Henry Bowers got employment with the Norwich Fire Insurance Company, of which Ebernezer Learned was the treasurer. That gave the ambitious boy his first real boost toward suc cess. AVhen Mr. Bowers died his estate was left subject to the life use of his widow. Her death during the early months of the present year has freed the money for distribution. Meantime, Susie Brand's parents and other relatives had died, the family fortune had dwindled through business reverses and Miss Brand had left her native Norwich home to make her home in Springfield, Mass., where she has kinfolk. When the will of Henry E. Bowers was read, it showed that he had left over $50,000 to the old school where he had received his education, the Norwich Free Academy, a good sum to the ancient Otis Library and the Eliza Huntingdon Memorial Home for worthy Episcopal women in the city of Norwich, generous bequests to a number of cousins, and to Miss Sue Brand a share of his estate suffi cient to restore her to that place of comfort, even luxury, to which she had been accustomed. She inherits much of the wealth of the man who vainly loved her in their youth. The waistcoat makes a really important feature of Winter fashions.

Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Is It Wrong? Dear Miss Fairfax: A, B and C are friends. B is twenty-live years old and a married man. A and C are single girls. Every Sunday A meets B at church and later B sees A home, as he lives near her. Now ,Miss Fairfax, C con demns A for allowing B to accom pany her to church and later seeing her home, B being a married man. Is C doing right to condemn A when A and B only see each other on Sunday mornings. B knew A before he was married. ANXIOUS. There doesn't seem to be any par ticular harm in this situation, unless j A's own conscience tells her that she is using her church to masciue her flirtations. Just why does the ] man's wife not accompany hirn? Is he a sincere worshiper or is he making a deceitful and contemptible use of a house of worship? To Win ItCKIKH't DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a young lady, twenty-one en gaged for about a year to a young man about twenty-three. While his father never showed a paternal af ! fection for liiin before he met me, 1 two years ago, he has been since I came into his son's life, feeling, or I showing, a strong antipathy for the boy, as well as a repelling antagon ism toward me. The reason is pri marily that his father wanted him, and is still insistent to marry a cer tain other girl. Love, however, de creed that his heart should belong to me. His father once grossly, without provocation, insulted me, and considering the fact that he is ignorant and self-opinionated, I am not very much surprised at the con ditions. Neither my friend nor I talk to his father, who hates not only the sight, but the mere mention of n f friend, apparently for no other rea son but the "disobedience" in ques tion. Miss Fairfax, as I intend short ly to get married, is there any pos- ( sibility of our winning, under the circumstances, at least the good grace or respect of my intended father-in-law? What, if anything, 1 are we to do—how are we to guide ourselves in this matter? J. F. While you continue to take your bitter and critical attitude toward I your sweetheart's father, there is , j practically no chance for either one lof you to win his regard. Love be gets love. If you are sincere in your desire for the respect of your intended father-in-law, why not go to him simply and sincerely ask him I I to let by-gones be by-gones, and tell him that you long for a happy, unit i ed household. While you are think ing in terms of hatred, calling this man ignorant and opinionated, gloat ing over the fact that you won his son in spite of him, how can you ex pect to attract his liking?
