The next day Lord Cecil <*ent for a
stroll in the park, his mind more at
ease than it had been for some time.
With the $-">.000 he couid at least meet
the demands of his more pressing cred
Itors. or. in this land of opportunity
»nd quick fortunes, he couid probably
nse it as -apital for investment and
soon acquire enough to pay all his
tlebts. These reflections were cut short
by a woman's scream, and Cecil look
?d ahead to see a girl struggling in
*he grasp of two men. who strove to
force her into a closed taxlesb As
the girl's cry for help again rang out
Cectl sprang forward There w»s a
brief conflict, the two ruttlaus sprang
into the cab. which sped away, and
Cecil found himself supporting a slen
der form.
"Oh. will you protect me?" the girl
begced piteously.
"Now. everything is perfectly all
right." Cecil said soothingly and led
her to a seat. "What were those brutes
up toT
An Imp of mischief danced in the
eyes that Betty kept carefully veiled
by lowered and silky lashes. Despite
ber uneasy conscience, she was be
ginning to enjoy the game. She sighed
with tragi • Intensity
"It is but a part of the base con
spiracy to nib my poor father of his
fortune!" 'he said snd!y, and stole a
g'ance from the corner of her eye.
I.ord Cecil was Interested, there was
no doubt of that. Had she remarked
that she expected to have roast beef
for dinner he would have been inter
eeted. because it was she who said" it.
bat this he did not yet realize.
Betty felt the thrill of the artist ip
spired to do a perfect thing, and. with
growing enthusiasm she toid a won
derfui tale— of her poor father, who
hid discovered two wonderful rich
mines: how. because he would not so
them for a song he was fa!«ely a
tused of crime: how. having no mono
to defend himself in the bribed court*
they had b>»en forced to flee: how
they had hoped to sell one of the mines
ac 1 thus acquire ready money to pro
tret the fat'.ier and develop the other
mine—the one would yield quite as
large a fortune as they desired: how
the father, ill. did not dare go forth
to aneui; t to n:ake a sale, the villains
being close upon their track. She con
eluded abruptly and stole another
glance at Cecil, and she saw that he
believed her.
"'Pon my word! Quite extraordi
nary. y' know!" he rasped.
"And now I must go." Betty said,
and rose torteringly. "Goodby."
"But you can't, y' know, reailyr*
Cecil protested earnestly "Those
chaps may be lurkin' about somewhere.
Mayn't I"
"You are good and hrave. I wonld
like you to," Betty said softly and
leaned upon his arm.
Without adventure they reached the
boarding house, atid Cecil required no
urging to meet and be thanked by the
poor father.
"I wouldn't rnlud so much, if it
wan t for Betty." Carson said with
touching effect, after he had wrung Ce
cil's hand in gratitude. "But it is
hard on her. poor little srir!. this hiding
in miserable hovels when she might be
in a palace—aud you see that even she
is In danger. If they didn't follow so
close I couid get out and sell one of
the mines, and with the money fix
everything all right. Either mine is
enough for me anyhow—worth a mil
lion."
Lord Ce~il heard but vaguely.
eyes had been fixed on Betty with a
look that had caused her to turn quick
ly away, suddenly shamed and con
fused. but with a errant happiness
dawn'ng in her heart. Moreover, he
w-s penrieriug a great idea, aud it ex
ploded in words.
'By Jove. I have it! I'll buy one of
the mines, y' know, if 1 have enough
money !*"
It was with difficulty that Carson
eon "oaled his e'ation. Betty half start
ed from her chair, a protest upon her
lips, but at Carson's look of stern
reproach she sank back speechless.
The amount which Cecil could pay ap
peared a great disappointment to Mr.
Carson, but ten minutes later he had.
in return for a check for s2.j.iXV>. prop
erly indorsed, handled over the entire
capital stock of the "Golden Hope"
mine. Within half an hour after Ce
cil's departure the check had been
cashed.
Very early the following morning
Mr Monte Carson, in whose pocket
there nestled a thick packet of yellow
bills, and Betty, in whose heart wa«
an aching pain, and from whose eyes
the smile had gone, leaving only the
wistfulness. boarded a train destined
for the far west.
Later in the same day I.ord Cecil,
with somewhat rueful expression, read
Hie following concise epistle:
Brown & Co., Mining Stoc« Brokers. New
York:
Lord Cecil Sir—"TVlearaphic In'i'Jtry de
velops the feet that the "Golden Hop®"
mine Is worthless. We can. therefore,
secure no lo«n 'in your stock. Verv truly.
BROWN & CO.
Ce-'il rmt aside the letter and lighted
» cigarette. As he smoked he ponder
ed and a great light seemed suddenly
to break upon him,
"By Jove! I believe that whole sto
ry was a jolly, y' know." he said aloud
"But she was certainly a rippin' litt'e
girl!" he added tenderly.
Betty Told a Wonderful Tale.
CHAPTER VI.
"The Golden Hope."
LORD CECIL, in his apartment in
the Hotel Triumphant, was
g writing a letter.
"Dear old chap." it ran.
"Thanks for the marmalade— they real
ly can't make it :u this country -most
extraordinary!
"I rather think I have been done.
Bought a mine, which a broker person
teLs me is worthless, but met a rip
ping little girl. it leaver me flat
broke, so am going west to dig some
gold: deuced bother."
Cecil paused, then added:
"Am sending this by James. You
might r»ve him a situation. He press
es trousers quite fairly."
The letter was addressed and sealed
it' James entered the room.
"You will take this letter to the
prince. James." his master said, and.
because <>f a lifetime of training, the

fee* of the servant gave no sign of
the grief that sprang into his heart.
"Very well, tnv lord." James said
quietly. "There is a steamer sailing
tomorrow, my iord."
"You will need passage money.
James, and the hotel bill must be set
tied, and I'll want some money myself,
for railway fare to the west." Cecil
said, and his thoughtfulness provoked
an anxious glance from his man. "Take
all the studs an' links, an' er things,
that you can find and get what you
can—£loo I should fancy they will
bring—from some pawnshop place,
y' know."
"Yes. my lord." Jame? responded and
went sadly about the task.
Early the ne\t morning Lord Cecil
boarded the same train that a few
day# before had borne back to the gold
en west the irirl who had brought upon
him dire misfortune, but who had left
her picture in his heart.
To Betty the thought of the part she
had played in the despoilment of the
clear eyed, kindly straneer, was a
haunting shame from which she oonld
not escape, for she now fully under
stood—and the understanding marked
the day when the bud of girlhood be
came the |>erfect blossom of woman
hood—the degradation that had beeu
put upon her. in that her youth and
sex had been used, through an appeal
to all that was most brave and kind
In his nature, to decoy to his mln that
man who wonkl not believe that a girl
mieht lie.
Mr. Monte Carson's return had been
that of a conqueror. Very shortly.
; however, bis business lnstinitß reas
serted themselves, and he was now

engaged In a determined effort to re
possess the money which he had so
magnificently cast abroad among the
cltlsena of Salt Springs. Following hts
usual method when doing business
with the natives. he was playing poker
In the office bar of the Palace hotel.
Opposite him, and the heaviest loser,
sat a young miner. Davis. A Jackpot
was opened, aud after ttie draw on!}
Carson ami Davis held their cards, the
gambler's being barely visible above
the edge of the table
The pipe which the young miner had
been smoking fell to the floor. He
stooped quickly to recover it. aud Car
sou's tickle goddess of luck, laughing
mockingly, deserted him. It was the
precisw instant that Davis stooped that
Carson chose to extract two cards from
his bootleg Davis straightened with
a Jerk, and as he leaned far across
the table his blue eyes blazed.
"You dirty, cheatim: thief"' he snarl
ed. and swiftly the crowding men
sprang back froiu what they knew
would follow.
It was at this moment of close b< *
ering tragedy that Betty entered and
for an instaut too short to be meas
ured. yet long enough for many
thoughts to flash through her brain,
and for Carson to grow white anil
limp as he looked Into Death's own
eyes, the girl stood motionless. Then
she darted forward and caught Davis'
artu. already lieginning its downward
swing with gleaming knife.
"I'lease. oh. please, give his life to
me!" she cried, and in her voice was
so fierce a yearning that It reached

"Shorely. miss Any little ole thing

and returned Betty's smile of gratitude
with an embarrassed but admiring
grin. "You git up! This here lady
don't want yon to die." he added con
temptuousiy to Carson, and the gaui
bier rose tremblingly
"No. you can't buy no drink here!"
was the greeting of his sometime
Mend. Mr. Baylor, the landlord, as
Carson lurched eagerly toward the bar

Suddenly there arose In tlie one treot

reeking mustang to a sudden stop in
front of tlie hotel, from which the man
came hurrying.
"Gold.'" the horseman roared
"They've struck free gold in Sandy
Gftlcb—richer 'n Cripple Creek:"
In an iustant the town had stam
peded. and when, a few moments later
Hetty came from the hotel, seeking to
know the cause of the excitement, the
dust of hasty departure was already
settling Not a man. apparently, was
left in Salt Springs. Her attention
was. however, attracted by the stage
approaching from the east, and she
waited with idle curiosity to observe
what manner of passengers it would
bring.
"'lx>. Betty! Where's everybody
done gone at?" the driver asked cu
rlously as he brought his team to a
stop and rolled Ills eyes about the de
serted village.
"Struck it rich—in Sandy Gulch"' a
belated citizen yelled as he tore past,
and without a word the stage driver
leaped to the ground, swiftly cut free
the harness of one of IPs hordes, sprang
upon its bare back and dnshed away
A single passen.-er was ge'ting slow

forward with casual Indifference.
"I fancy I am a hit 111. v' know."
Lord Cecil said. as wi;h drooling head
he leaned weak'y against a wheel. "If

The Impulse to run away was aitr >sr

What has proven to be the triumph

company is the dramatic spectacle of
"Damon and Pythias" which will be
shown in six parts at the Majestic Sat-'

by the Supreme Lidge of the Knights
of Pythias tor its faithfulness in repre
sentation and its influences for eduea-,
tion and uplift it has attracted more
and widespread attention than any oth- 1
or film ever made in this country. The.
story of the friendship of these Grecian .
noblemen is the greatest example of 1
man's humanity toward his brother,
man ever written in the history of the!
world. Oecuring in the period when j
Greece was at the heighth of her pompj
and glorv it has been produced with ■
surpassing spectacular scenes and ef-!

travagance of costume and atmospheric j
surroundings. So great has been the
demand to fee this great drama that
bookings for seats have be?n made far,

which is invariable wherever it is pre-;

At the Orpheuni
They who enjoy the mysterious are i
bound to revel in "Pekin Mysteries"]
the big attraction of a fine lay-out of'
Keith hits that came to the Orpheum \
yesterday for a week's engagement, j
As its name implies "Pekin Mvster-j
ies" is Oriental. Each member of its'
cast is from the far Kast, where skill j
through patience and long practice, is j
sought for and attained more than any '
other part of the world. Their tricks |
are mystifying and they are wonderful-1
lv clever down to the tiniest of the |
troupe, this one being a little fellow i
barely eight year 9 old. With Oriental i
performers and gorgeous Japanese stage'
settings, the act fairly carries one to
that quaint country, at least for the
time being.
A nifty song and dance duo are Cas
son and Bond, a pretty girl and a nat
ty youth. Their offering is one of i
those dainty and clever turns and they
are likely to prove one of the week's
biggest box office magnets. Their songs
are the latest hits and they sing them
like few others can. J. 0. Nugent and
company are presenting a comedy
called ''The Squarer," that .is clever
in theme, well played, and while it
brings many good laughs, it also has a
touch of sentiment. Nana, the clever
whirlwind dancer: Henry ljewis, eccen
tric pinging comedian, and Twisto, the
' comedy contortionist, round out u bill

To resort to the vernacular, "class"

Colonial's bill for the first half of the
week. Xo one of the acts has a very
large company, but the three or four
and sometimes two players that are in
the respective acts, are all clever and
decidedly entertaining. Mar.iorie Dain
ton and company present a spleudii
comedy playlet called "A Tonic for
Temper,'' that's good enough for any
