Confessed
Betty's first impulse was to mount
Pinto and gallop to the manor for Ceci
and Bob. but before she tou 'hed a stir
mp the idea was abandoned. It wa<
but a short war to rhe cliff lined coast,
and there were a hundred fissures ami
•anyon-like inlets where a boat might
be hidden. Before she could secure aid
and locate the particular fiord foi
which the conspirators were hendin-'
they might make good their escape.
There was nothing to do but follow
them and trust to circumstances to af
ford her an opportunity fflr successful
a< tion. Bitterly she recretted the ah
of the little revolver that had
swung at her hip in the old days in
Nevada

Betty saw t-'te countess and her com
PRnion disappear as though they b;o
been swallowed by the enrth. and sh
knew that they had descended one o
'he steep paths leading to the botton

down.
Directly below a small l>oat wa'
moored agiinst a ledge. and at th
edge of the waiter whi-h was as suioot'
in this deep core as that of a woodlnnt'

■n Th'-r with ilssh of in9|>iratiou
sprang («<• k . nd • .iught from th
saddle her coiled lariat, fastened OIK
ond to the horn of the saddle and crepi
back to the edge of the cliff.
As the duke prepared to step int'
the waiting boat a rope dropped, ap
parently from the skv. and the loop ol
a lasso gripped his body. The next in
stunt, as Betty cried an order and
the cow pony lunged forward, tbf
man wa« snatched from his feet and
drawn rapidly up the face of the cliff
When her captive was within arm's
reach of tbe top Betty again shouted
md Pinto s'-vd still. Lying flat upon
her face. Betty reached down and fro:ti
tbe man's breast pocket extracted the
'•Sse containing the precious jewel and
fmm a ho'ster swung under his arm
Pit a revolver. The duke made no ef
fort to prevent this despoilment—with
both hands he clutched frantically at
the rope by which he dangled.
With a laugh of triumph B«ttr
• prang tip. and. feeling secure with
the revolver fn Dei UatnTs. gave Pinto
a word which caused iiiui to drag the
dangling man to the safety of the cliff
top. Betty began to move toward the
pony, but lx-fore she had rea<-tie*l it
there was a -jui'-k rush of feet, and
the countess, followed by the officers
and sailors, sprang up the path Each
held a ready weapon, and. at sight of
Betty the countess raised her revolver
arid fired. As Betty turned to face
this attack the duke, who had disen
tangled himself from the coils of the
lasso, dashed past her. reached the
horse and struck him with the flat of
bis hand upon the flank With a snort
of astonishment. I'into galloped away.
Again the countess fired, then the
offi'-er and sailors, and Betty could
hear the bullets hum about her like an
gry bees. A little in her rear Betty saw
she could find cover. and retreated
hastily. There were five of the enemy,
;iud as she had but five cartridges she
was not winded to waste them. How
ever. it was necessary to temporarily
• heck the advance of the countess"
party, and the girl paused to fire once.
With a cry tbe officer dropped his re
volver and staggered, clutching at his
shoulder. During the confusion that
followed. Betty gained the shelter of
stone and furze for which she was
striving.
The attackers now advanced cau
tiously. the diike hariug possessed
himself of the wounded officer's weap
on. all excepting tbe countess seeking
the cover of the rocks. She stood de
fiantly in the open, watching for Bet!/
to expose herself to a finishing shot.
Three times Betty rested her revolver
upon her rocky rampart and drew a
tine sight upon the countess* breast,
but each time she lowered it. *
"She deserves it. but 1 caunot do it,"
Betty whispered. "I cannot!"
The duke and the two sailors contin
ued their cautious advance, tiring as
they moved.
Meanwhile Pinto, disdaining roads,
had cut straight across tbe fields to
''roftlaigh and had spread wild alarm
as lie passed. A score of laborers rec-
ogniied the pony and were tilled with
horror as to what the empty saddle
might bode. They hastened in the di
rection from whence IMuto had come
"Are you afraid of a girl?" the count
ess taunted the men. who still crept
cautiously from rock to rock. "You
duke? 1 have seen you brave enough
to wear out a dog whip on a girl ere
this. See. i stand in the open and do
not die!"
"But he can't." Betty muttered fierce
ly. Stunc by the countess' scorn, the
duke incautiously raised himself, and
a bullet burned a red welt across his
cheek.
"Charge!" the duke yelled fiercely,
but the countess screamed a warning
and pointed inland. Hushing toward
them were a score of stout rustics, men
and women, and as Betty's voice rose
in a cry for help the yokels burst into
a yell of fury and redoubled their speed.
""1 o the boat!" the countess gasped,
and they fled along the edge of the
cliff toward the path leading down to
ihe water.
The Yokeli Burst Into a Yell of Fury
and Redoubled Tnair Speed.
rben occurred an incident common
the English coast, where year by
year the cbn'.klike cliffs are under
mined by the beating waves and suck
ing tides. With an earth shaking roar
s great slice of the cliff face gave war
uuder the fly ins feet of the conspira
tors. as though the very soil of Britain
had been stirred t*> revenge upon its
secret foes, and the Countess I.urovich
the nameless duke, the wounJed offi
cer and the two saiiors went down to
tenth, buried forever from the sight of
man.
An hour later Betty softly entered
the old library at Croftlaigb. where
Cecil and Bob still sat in dreary
md hope!'** conference. On the table
in front of the young officer she placed
J small case.
"Open it." she said gently, awl dnllv
obeyed.
As his eyes rested upon what was i
lisclosed Bob staggered wildly to his
feet, his face white
"What is it! Betty?" Cecil cried,
(tartled at the amassing effect produced
tpon his nephew, whose breast was
low heavine with sobs.
It was Bob who answered, as he
Iropped upon his knees and pressed ]
Betty's hands to bis li|>g.

To have been the means of restoring
° her husband's house those great es
ates which the pinching fingers of pov- !
»rty had filcheii away was to Betty a
source of "easeless delight.
To Lord < 'ecil life was now a golden
Ireain of love and contentment, and
Betty was happy beyond even the
(ague and wistful fancies that bad
Mirred her girlish heart in the far
'way, lonely laud of her youth. But a
■inaie cloud drifted across the blue sky i
yf her existence and at times cast in
lier path a shadow.
Proudly indifferent, so far as she her
self was concerned. Betty, jealous for
tier husband's honor, could not help'
Jbserving what the serene egotism of
liigh station hid from him--that no ef- j
fort was made by his social equals to '
listurb the seclusion which I»rd and
l.ady Cecil had soueht.
A flood of invitations had followed

marriage. hut theae hud abruptly
erased to come, and Betty realized the
significance of this—that the world of
society had hastily rectified Its error of
assuming that the woman whom the
Karl of Swarthinore had married could
not hnt He a person of noble blood and
high station.
For herself Betty desired no social 1
i>referment -the simple life which she
led wa» all sufficient to her happiness i
—but as l.ady t'ecil she could not help
but feel that the noble society of which
a peer of Kngland and his wife were
naturally members simply ignored her.
That her husband audit in time rea j
lize th : .< fact and he shamed thereby
was Betty's only fear for the future.
Her native intelligence was too great
for her to resent what she knew to
IK* class prejudice, cultivated and
handed down through long centuries.
She was quite capable of realixing!
that, from the point of view of the
Duchess of Prex for instauee. she.
Betty, was a little nobody whom it
would be quite impossible to admit to
social existence without violating the,
most sacred of the laws whereby the
duchess held her own exalted station.
Just wherein lay the extraordinary
influence, amounting almost to social
despotism, exercised by the duchess,
would luiv'e been difficult of explana
tion by her most faithful subjects,
but tlie fact remained that to receive
a nod of approval from thus ratherj
terrible old lady was to ha\e opened
to one the moss Jealously guarded
drawing room's of the kingdom, and not
even the queen's favor was so xealous-:
ly cultivated.
To be able to claim most distant
blood relationship with the duchess
was sufficient to elevate a mere baro
net to the social peerage, this being
perhaps largely due to the'fact that'
such claims to relationship were very
few. In Iter old age the duchess, j
tiprcoly proud. liM a lonely heart.
I rpa iv Up fore, tragedy and sor
row lind rested n luavy hand iiih>ii the
ha uglily hpad of the duchess, which
had stubbornly remained unbowed.
:id as she never spoke thp name of
her daughter. Elizabeth. her youngest
child, nor thos* of her sons, the world
had forgotten l>oth her tragedy and her
grief.

Holiday Fancies in Small Cakes
Small cakes arc a feature ot' Christ
nias times ami really are quite in
dispensable with children's, tallies to
decorate, boxes to fill and callers to
serve.
A recipe tor small cakes that is ac
commodating enough to be baked in
sheets and cut to suit one's needs
to serve as useful cup cakes is always
a stand by at this season. This one will
out fail:
Cream a third of a cup of butter jritii
a cup of granulated sugar, beat vigor
ously and add the yolks of two eggs
beaten light. Sift two artd a half cups
of flour with two itnd a half teaspoons
of baking powder and half a teaspoon
of salt. Add this to the aboie with
■half a cup of milk. Give it a final
I beating and bake. l If made into cup
cakes use gem pans. These cakes may
l»e frosted in many colors ajid trimmed
to suit, every fancy.
"Springerle" is the white, hard, small
cake flavored with anise seed. It is
dear to the German heart at Christinas
time. The cakes arc moulded on spring
erle boards in forms to represents flow
ers and quaitit figures.
It takes half a day and nil night to
make them. Here is the rocipe, just as
Greiehen made them for Huns in the
Fatherland:
Springerle—Put as much soda as
will cover the |»oint of a knife in a pint
of sugar, lulo this beat four eggs, the
juice of a lemon and a quart of flour.
Let this dough rest over night. In the
morning roll very thin and press be
tween the springerle, boards; cut off the
edges with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with
anise and set aside for several hours;
remove gently from the molds and bake
on buttered tins.
St. Nicholas cakes are the Holland
er's favorite sweetmeat; they are mndc
like our own gingerbread boys and
girls, except the dough is mixed stifl'er.
It is only at Christmas that it is
baked in the form of manikins and the
miniature men and women offered to
callers, a girl "vrijer" to a man and a
boy "vrijer'J to a woman guest.
Nut macaroons and kisses please
everyone and the young folks in the
family enjoy making them.
For eighteen kisses beat the whites
of two «oggs as light as possible and
fold in a cup of sifted, powdered sugar.
Add mim'ed nuts, if you like, ami a few
drops of flavoring extract.
Bake on buttered paper in a moder
ate oven.
Almond macaroons are made with
one pound of almond nut flour sifted
with one pound of powdered sugar and
moistened with the stiffly beaten white*
of eight eggs. Drop by spoonfuls onto
oiled paper and bake in R slow oven
thirty minutes. Cocoanut may be added
to cither of the above recipes, if de
sired.
