10 THE PELOVED ADVENTURER CAMPBELL HALL A Novelized Version of the Motion Picture Drama of the Same Name Produced by the Lubin Manufac turing Company. Illustrated With v§| Photographs From the Picture Pro- LUBIN COMPANY Continued A few- days later a startled world. to borrow a phrase from the paper which covered Its eutiie frout page with two photographs and forty-two words, learned that the heiress to the count less millions of the peanut butter kin had Jilted an English lord and had eloped with one Torn, who priuajwlly. It appeared, was an American. That was the important point. Bight out from the grasping clutches of the tin poverished and effete aristocracy of Knrope had this brave youth snatched the prize.

Two days afterward Lord Cecil, back in his apartment at the Hotel Trium phant. read, with a blankly startled »xpre«skm, the following cablegram: News failure your marriage pent dis appointment creditors. Have arranged mortgage !>n Croftlaish manor be not foreclosed for one month. Can you marry some other heiress before that time? BROWNELOWE & CO . I.TD. Rather slowly he put aside the cable gram Suddenly Lord Cecil laughed. "I forgot all about needlu' the bally fortune, y knew!" he said. CHAPTER V 7" The Girl From the Weet. THE landlord of the Palace hotel gazed with open admiration at his more or less permanent guest and intermittent friend— their friendship beinc subject to sud den and violent lapses through con flicting claims to lootable strangers then rolled his eyes about the empty bar and office as though collecting the attention of a scattered crowd. "Which I am bound to remark." he affirmed, "is that this here Monte Is a honor to the state and a plumb genius! drinks is on the house." he added largely and fumbled among the bottles. "Here's something special, Monte." .be said, and set a full and sealed quart of rye before the other man. "Open her up." be continued, as he produced a second bottle from beneath the bar. 'Til stick to the old stuff—cheaper. ' an' good 'nongh for me." Mr. Carson regarded him wtrh cold displeasure. "I reckon I'll drink the same thing you do. Baylor." he remarked. Mr. Baylor appeared hurt. "Why. you can see for yourself she's bottled In bond stuff and the seal ain't broke.'' he protested. Mr. Carson smiled. "Son." he said grimly. 'lf you ain't careful I'll feel insulted. Why. man. I was the man that Invented that trick—drillin' a hole big enough for a by needle in the bottom of a sealed bottle. 1 nsed to plug the hole with a glass bead of the right color, stuck with shellac—looked like an air bubble in the glass." "You know 1 wouldn't try anything on a pal. Monte." Mr. Baylor replied reproachfully. "No. you wouldn't 'specially when you knew he wns packin' a roll big enough to bank a came like I'm going to open up." Mr. Carson retorted un kindly. The landlord hastily ehanjred the subject. "Takin" Betty with yon on this here warpath?" he asked. k "Sometimes," Mr. Carson said dream- j lly. "I think this Baylor person Is a fool, an' then again, 1 allow he ain't— he's Just a idiot Would ft man go fishin' and sot take his bait along?" "Well, you're playin' your owu hand, Monte, but seems to me you'll get it tim>ed off if you ain't careful. It's seemed to me, here lately, that Betty was beginnin' to get wise Just a little. I don't believe she'd like it much if she knew she was bein used as a decoy. These here young female girls is pecul iar that a way." the landlord warned. "When this trip is over 1 won't care bow wise she gets or how she likes it." Carson dec'ared. "I'm going to mnke it a hog klllln'." The scheme which had stirred Mr. Baylor to open admiration was, like all master moves, most simple. Mr. Monte Carson, professional gambler and confidence man. had grown Impa tient at the Inr'requency with which eastern tourists, investors and other ly on eyed and credulous citizens drifted to the web he had spun for their re ception at Salt Springs, Nev. "It's like slttin' on a rock, waltin' for game to come up an' ask to be shot." he complained to himself. Then the great idea dawned in his mind. "Do you sit around an' wnit when you want meat?" he demanded and an swered himself with a decided nega tive. "No. sir; you go look for it where it lives!" 4 r \ "I'm going to make it a hog killin'." Wherefore Mr. Carson was going bunting in those fields where his par ticular gnme gnew fattest and was most numeros. He was going to New Tork. And the stage that left Salt Springs on the day he had disclosed his plan to Mr. Baylor bore him and Betty toward the east. Betty! But how tell of her? Ton have seen the little wind flowers, the first of all to dare the fickle spring, or a wild rose just unclosing Its fragile blossom, or a young rock maple, slen der, with the buds Just bursting, sway ing In the gentler wiDds? To these and other things of beauty and fra grance had many men of herd lives likened her in their hearts and for borne word or deed that would have brought a shadow to her wistful but softly smiling eyes. A cowboy, back from town, would ride into a roundup camp out on the ranges, and when the pipes were light ed and the men settled about the flick ering fire, would say. "I seen her. She •railed, an' said 'Howdy.' an' rid on over the hill." Whereupon his com rades looked upon him with somethim of envy and something of respect, as It were in the east and a man said. "1 have looked upon such and such a shrine." Such Vas Betty, just at the dawn of womanhood: an alien waif in this crude land whose lonely little heart beat proudly and unafraid, in whose veits. though she did not know, there flowed the daring blood of gal lant cavaliers who had ridden gaily to death on an hundred hopeless fields It was on the same day that Carson and Betty left Nevada that Lord Cecil of England set foot upon the soil of America. The master dramatist. Fate, was bringing up. ready for their en trances upon the stage, the characters who were to play together the strange drama called "Life." To Cecil not a few matters were seem ing Just at this time to be of consid erable consequence and decidedly an noying. His failure to marry the American heirens had roused his credi tors to relentless action, and he was quite without funds. All other re sources having been exhausted, he faced the humiliating necessity of sell ing what remained of his fnmily Jew els. Even as he gloomily pondered the situation the faithful James admitted to the apartment of the Hotel Trium phant which Cecil still occupied, the agent of a famous establishment While the Jeweler examined the con tents of the case set before him James departed upon an errand, so that none HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT.

"We will give 52T..000 for the lot. my lord." the dealer said, and Cecil nodded In a manner of bored Indiffer ence. Very shortly afterward the waiter slipped away from the hotel and hur ried to a somewhat shabby boarding bouse not fur distant. Here he found Carson, to whom he hastily related his uews. For a few momeuts Carson pon dered craftily, then nodded. "Very well, if you thiuk it is a good chance we'll go for him. I'd kinder like to bag a British lord anyway; reg ular big game bed be. We'll try the gold mlue scheme. It's safe because we really got a hole in the ground to Issue stock on. and an Englishman 'II fall for a gold mine quicker 'an any thing else.
