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. The eagle screamed In tri
umph. All of whiCi. the wrathful and
weeping Mrs. narrts believed, but Pa
Harris had his doubts It was a great
writeup. but what a story It would
have made had the reporter only got
the facts—how I*ird Cecil ne:'.tly kid
naped his own fiancee and deposited
her to her a tnazetnent and Tom's alarm
in the latter's arms as he w-as about to
board the steamer that would take him
far away, how he had thoughtfully
provided a marriage license and minis

was being pulled away he had put into

their ttroid souls the courage to seize
their hapniness. and the item that Mary
bad kissed him in a manner that made
him momentarily regret that be was
not the right man—that would hare
been a story worth readins!
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?

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

observed how lingered the waiter who
entered to remove a luncheon tray. or
how his eyes gleamed wltli greedy
running as the jeweler finished his ex
amination and produced a checkbook.
"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. You tip off the other boys
ami keep an eye on your bird. I'll
do my part, you can bet your bottom
dollar!"
The waiter dej»arted and Carson
knocked at and then o|<ened the door
to an adjoiulug room. Betty looked
up a little apprehensively as be enter
ed. There was upon his face an ei
presslon she had begun to vaguely dis
trust.
"I want you to help me lu a little
deal, Betty." Ue said. "It'll be a bar
re I o' fuu for you. There's an Eng
lishman I waut to sell a mine to. It's
a good mlue an' cheap at the price I'm
willing to sell for. but these English
men have been fed up on wonderful
stories about this country until a plain
business proposition don't wake em up
long enough to sign a check They
got to have a lot o' romance—seem to
think a nice romantic story better 'an
a certified assay and survey."
"What do you want me to do?" the
girl asked. and her eyes were troubled.
"Oh. notliin' much." Carson assured
her ligbtK. and in Indifferent man i
ner outlined the part she was to play.
"I—l don't like it. Monte." Hetty
said slowly, "it looks queer."
"All right. Bet;y." he responded. and
his voice was dull with reproach. "It
Is a square game, but never mind
Why. you talk like yon think I ain't
honest! But I won't urge you-Just
leave it t« your own feelings. You
won't help me now. hut I took you
when UOIHHIJ ese would, and I have
raised yon tile tiest that I could."
The reproach cut deep into the heart
of the sensitive girl. After all, she
had no proof of her suspicions, and
she owed much to this man. The room
in which they stood seemed to fade
away, and she saw a rugged land of
hills and water worn gulches and the
raw gash of crude mining operations.
Near a ragged tent several rough mln
rrs -were carelessly completing the fill
ins of a grave. To one side a small
girl. we?ping miserably, was trying
to make a bundle of a few poor belong
Ings. With a pitying catch in her
throat. Betty realized that this child
was she. Into the scene there came
a jaunty horseman, and to him the
miners explained that they had found
this prospector all cashed in and had
planted him and were ready to go their
ways. No. they hadn't figured out
what was to become of the kid. They
couldn't pack her along with them.
Why didn t he take her if he was so
particularly concerned? Whereupon
the jaunty horseman looked at the
pretty child in speculative manner,
nodded, spoke kind'y and lifted her to
the pommel of his saddle, and the
child sobbed her gratitude against his
breast. And through the years that
had followed he had been kind, in his
way. and had raised her rhe best he
rould—far better, in fact, in the mat
ter of schools and clothing than the
other girls she had known Surely lie
had a right to command some return.
Be.tty looked up with tear dimmed
eyes.
"I'll do it. Monte." she sa d «implv.
"I knew you wouldn't go back on
an old friend. Betty." Carson replied,
concealing the relief and satisfaction
he felt.
