Betty looked into his eyes and saw neither the distaste not contempt she had thought to find What she did see causetl her to grow suddenly shy and confused, while tears that were not of grief sprang Into hei eyes. Suddenly Cecil reeled /fend would have fallen had not Betty sprang ti Ills assistance. "I—l will help you into the hotel There is 110 one else." she stammered. With the girl's aid Cecil reached a room and collapsed upon the bed. Bet ty bent anxiously over him. hut lie was unconscious. "He must have a doctor." she wbis pered and hastened a way. Fortunately the doctor had not join ed the stampede for tlie gulch and hur ried with Betty to the hotel. Telling him where he would find the stranger, she herself walked rapidly away from the town. Not far out she met Xlr. Baylor and his fellow townsmen, dusty and in deepest disgust. "Every claim was already staked!" they told her nggrlevedly, but Betty indifferently passed on. At the end of a week Lord Cecil wtis still weak, but steadily Improving. Mr. Baylor was troubled. A very careful examination of Cecil's scanty baggage had failed to disclose either money or articles of value. It was possible that the guest had hidden his roll during some lucid moment, but Mr. Baylor doubted. He decided to make a demand for money. "But 1 haven't any. You'll have to wait until 1 can dig some gold, y' know," Cecil answered cheerfully, and after a moment of amazed paral ysls the landlord exploded wrathfull.v. "Yoti deadbeat!" he roared. "Trvin to sk.ii me. are you: Walt till yon dig some go'dV Yah! You'll pay up ppetty soon or he kicked out. yon Pet!' The window of the room was open, and sounds carried well In the clear :t!r. Betty, sittlnc beside her own Tlndow in the adjoining room, felt tears of anger and grief trickling down her cheeks. "And it i> all my fault—mine!" she whispered sadly. Cecil was distinctly annoyed. This landlord was evidently a person quite lacking In reasonableness. It would be vastly more agreeable to have the brute satisfied. He pondered for a moment and then produced from his satchel a packet of stock certificates. "I say." he "suppose you take this 'Golden Hope' mine in pay ment of your bill?" Mr. Baylor grunted in contempt. * 'Golden Hope'—why. 1 wouldn't give you a plate o' beans for that hole in ground: You pay up in good cash or out you go. an' that pretty quick!" After which Mr. Baylor stalked from the room. There is a certain eastern paper much given to intimate accounts of the doings of nobility in Europe and society leaders in America, which has vogue and extens'lve circulation in those sections of the west which most londlv express their utter scorn and boundless contempt for bo:b those or namental classes. And fate willed that almost sirju'taneously. a certain paragraph should be read by the ex cellent Mr. Baylor. Betty and Monte Carson. Mr. Baylor was indulging his literary proclivities behind his bar: Betty sat beside her bedroom window, and Mr. Carson was leaning sullenly against the door frame of a saloon In a town some twenty dusty miles fre.m Salt Springs. The paragraph was this: LORD CECIL IN LUCK. Gold Brick Proves Pure Metal. Recently Lord Cecil of England pur chased the "Golden Hope Mlr.e," only to he told by mining experts that It waj worthless. It now appears that the Hope Is the choicest claim in Sandy Qulch. where Incredibly rich veins have Just beer, developed. Lord Cecil's mh»« Is worth at least 0.00.000 The lucky noble man is supposed to be In the west In specting his propertv. "He doesn't know—he might have jflveu the sto'.-k away!" Betty gnsp««. ccd tbeu her heart leaped joyously. It was all right. after all. Cecil would iiut think of her as a lying swindler, now that the truth exceeded even the promisee of ber fantastic tale to him. Then her head drooped wearily. "No." she whlpsered, "this good for tune is only chance—he cannot forget tbnt the intent was to rob him." From the adjoining room again rame the voice of Mr. Baylor, but It was now honey sweet "I reckon I was bind 0' mean awhile figo. partner," be said, "not to show no more feelin' for a gent down on his luck. I ain't such a bad guy when you get to know me, an', just to prove It. I'll take that stock an' call the board bill paid." Like a darting bird Betty was oat of her room and burst wildly Into that of lord Cecil. "No. no! Don't give him the miner* she cried and breathlessly told Cecil of the change that had come to his for tunes. "Aw." Cecil observed calmly, and turned to the landlord. "I gruess I can't let you have the stock, after all, j' know," be said. With lowering brow, on which the sweat was cutting grimy little chan nels through Ibe dust, Mr Monte Car son strode into the Palace bar. With a fine effort at Indifference uud i>olite : ly Ignoring their last meeting, he ad dressed the landlord. "Heard there was an Englishman drtftln' around the conntry. Is be puttin' up with you. Baylor?" he ask ed. and even his gambler's eyes could not avoid a viciously greedy gleaming. Mr. Baylor looked at him with a snarling laugh. "He's here, all right, but it won't do you no good,' 1 he Informed iiirn mali ciously. "That little pet o' yourn's done tlpi>ed htm off. else I'd a had that mine by now. He offered It for his board." Mr. Carson pondered craftily. "Any folks know he offered yon stock for board?" he demanded. "Yep, all the boys. I told 'em. They like to laughed their selves to death. Don't seem so funny now," the laud lord replied gloomily. Carson drew nearer, and his voice was viciously low. "Well, he offered it to you again, an" you took it—see?" he said, and with significance shifted forward his gun. "Kifty-tifty. You on?"' "1 always did say von was a honor to the state, Monte," Mr. Baylor de clared. "I plumb admires you. Let's get it all fixed up before some galoot comes stray in' in here." In tlie corridor outside her door Bet ty heard cautious footsteps and guard ed whisiHTs. Moving softly to tbe door, she applied her ear to the thill boards, and what she heard seut her back into the room with a blanched face. A small but excellent revolver lay upou her dresser, and she snatched it ea sterly, and, leaning from the window, called with restrained eagerness. "Lord Cecil! At the window—Quick!" she whispered, and immediately Cecil'* head appeared. "Take this and shoot first!" Betty said and. leaning far out. handed him the revolver. Parel.v had Cecil faced buck Into the room when the door was unceremoni ously thrust open, and Messrs. Carson ; and Baylor, guus in hand, stood before ] him. Cecil laughed, ant' the little re volver spat viciously twice. With dn- j plicate howls and movements, the vis itors dropped tlyjir guns and grasped nt the right forearms, from which red blood was spurting. "You are not hurt, really, y' know be all right In a fortnight, I dare say," Cecil remarked dispassionately. The stage which left for the east next day carried Lord Cecil as a pas senger. the now servile and cringing 81 MSU Gazed With Wistful Eyes Until tha Lumbering Stage Disappeared.

Betty he had been un able to find since she had handed liim the revolver, and so he was forced to depart without saying goodby.
