"Margery," ho began, when tho In
terval of thoughtful licart-BcarchIng
had done Ub Illuminative work,, "what
would you say If I should tell you
that your 'aomo day has already
como?"
Sho started as If ho had thrust a
fcnlfo Into hor. Then she slipped out
of hlB arms and caught up his hand
to press It against her check.
"I should say, 'Whatsoever seerneth
Bood In tho eyes of my dear lord, so
let It bo."'
"Out think a momont, girl; If one
has dono wrong, thero must bo ntono

, "It Is tho Price, boy, dour; I don't

that ho took from that was onco my
mother's brother's sharo In tho Colo

yours. Wo can pay back tho monoy.
Will that do?"
Ho was shaking his head olowly.
"Nat" ho said, "I think it wouldn't
do."
"I was afraid it wouldn't," she
sighed, "but I Imd to try. Aro they
Ktlll gnashing their teeth at you? tho
dreadful things, I mean?"
Ho did not nnswer in words, but sho
know, and hold hor peace. At tho end
of tho ends ho sprang up nuddenly and
'drew hor to hor foot.
"I can't do it, Margery, girl! I can't
ask you to wait and aftorward to

Galbralth wore willing to withdraw,
,'tho law wouldn't lot him, and I'd got

Sho put her arms nrourid tils neck

i
Tho Desert and the Sown.
Through streots in which tho villago
milot of tho summor night was undis
turbed aavo by tho spattorlng tinkle of
jtho lawn Bprinklors in tho front yards,
and tho tow voices of tho outdoor
pooplo taking tho nir and tho moon
light on tho porchos, Griswold fared
homoward, tho blood pounding in his
(volns and tho fine wino of ltfo mount
ing hoadily to his brain.
Aftor all tho dubious stumblings ho
had como to tho end of tho road, to
And awaiting him tho great accusa
tion and tho groat roward. Dy tho un
answerable logic of resultB, in its ef
fort upon others and upon himself, his
flood had proved itself a crlmo. Right
or wrong in tho highest ethical fibula,
tho accoptod social order had provod
Itself strong onough to make its own
laws and to prcscrlbo tho far-reaching
yonalticB for their infraction. Under
tucso laws ho Btood convicted. Novor
again, savo through tho gato of atone
ment, could ho bo reinstated aa a
Woldlor In tho ranks of tho convention
ally righteous. True, tho dovotlon of
a loving womun, aided by a train of
circumstances strikingly fortuitous
and Httlo short of miraculous, had
averted tho final prlco-paylng In penal
retribution. Dut tho fact romained.
Ho was a felon.
I Into this gaping wound which might
otherwise havo slain him had boon
poured tho wlno and oil of a groat
lovo; a lovo so clean and puro In
Its own woll-Bprlngs that it could
porcolvo no wrong in Its object;
could mcoBuro no act of loyal dovo
tlon by nny standard savo that of its
own greatness. This lovo askod
nothing hut what ho choso to glvo. It
'would accept him cither as ho was, or
aa ho ought to bo. Tho placo ho should
elect to occupy would bo Its placo; his
standards its standards.
Just hero tho roasonlng angel openod
r door and thrust him out upon tho
edgo of a proclplcoand left him to look
down into the abyss of tho betrayers
Iho pit of Uiobo whoso gift and curse
It Is to bo tho pace Bettors. In n flash
of rovcalmont it was shown him that
with tho great lovo had como a grent
responsibility. Whoro ho should lead,
klargory would follow, unshrinkingly,
unquostlonlngly; novor asking whothor
ho path led up or down; asking only
, hat his path might bo hers. Instantly
he was faco bo faco with a fnngod
Sholco which threatened to tear his
oart out nnd tramplo upon it; nnd
kgaln ho recorded his decision, con
farming it with an oath. Tho prlco was
too great; tho upward path too steep;
the self-denial It entailed too sacrlfl
fetal. "Wo havo but ono llfo to live, and
we'll llvo IK together, Margory. girl.
for better or for worse," was his npos
trophic declaration, mado whlio ho was
turning Into Shawnco street a few
doors from his lodgings; nnd a mlnuto
later ho was opening tho Widow Hoi
comb's gato.
Tho house was dark and apparently
deserted na to Its street-fronting half
when ho let himself in nt tho gate
and ran quickly up tho stops. Tho
front door wus open, and ho remem
bered afterward that ho had wondered
how tho careful widow had como to
leave it bo, and why the hall lamp
was not lighted. From the turn at
tho stairhead ho felt his way to tho
door of his study. Ltko tho one below,
it was wido open; hut somcono had
drawn tho window shades and tho In
terior of tho room was as dark as a
cavern.
Once, In tho novel-writing, follow
ing tho load of many worthy predeces
sors, Griswold had mado much of the
"sixth" sense; tho subtlo nnd Indefin
able prcsclenco which wnrns Its pos
sessor of Invisible danger. No such
wnrnlng was vouchsafed him when he
lenned ncross tho end of tho writing
table, turned on tho gas1 and held a
lighted mntch over tho chimney of the
working-lamp. It was while he wns
still bending over tho table, with both
hands occupied, that ho looked asldo.
In IiIb own pivot chair, covering him
with tho mnto to tho weapon ho had
smashed and thrown away, sat the
man who had opened tho two doors
and drawn tho window shades and
othcrwiso proparcd tho trap.
"You bought a couple o' these Uttlo
playthings, Mr. Griswold," said tho
man quietly. "Kcop your hands right
whoro they are, and tell in which
pockot you've got tho other one."
GrlBwold laughed, and thero wus a
suddon snapping of Invisible bonds.
Ho dismissed Instantly tho thought
that Charlotto Farnhnm had taken him
at his word; and If alio hnd not, there
was nothing to fear.
"I throw tho other ono away a little
whllo ago," ho said. "Reach your free
hand over and feel my pockets."
Brofiln acted upon tho suggestion
promptly.
"You ain't got It on you, anyway,"
ho concoded; nnd when Griswold had
droppod Into tho chnlr at tho tablo's
ond: "I reckon you know what I'm
horo for."
"I know that you aro holding that
gun of mlno at nn exceedingly uncom
fortablo anglo for mo," was tho cool
rojolndor. "I'vo always, had a squeam
ish horror of being shot in tho stom
ach." Tho detective's grin was apprecia
tive. "You'vo got a good, cold nervo, any
way," ho commented. "I'vo been put
tin' it up that when tho timo camo,
you'd throw a fit o' some sort what?
"Put Them on," He Snapped.
Since you're clothed In your right mind,
wo 11 got uown to business. First, I'll
ask you to hand over tho key to that
safoty-doposlt box you'vo got lu Mr.
Qriorson'a bank."
Griswold took his bunch of keys
from his pockot, slipped tho ono that
was asked for from tho ring, and gavo
It to his captor.
"Of courso I'm surrendering it under
protest," ho said. "You lmvon't yet
told mo who you are, or what you aro
holding mo up for."
Urotlln waved tho formnlltlea nsldo
with a plRtol-polnted gesture. "Wo can
skip nil that. I'vo got you dead to
rightB, after so long a tltno, and I'm
goln' to tnko you back to Now Or
leans with mo. Tho only question is,
do you go easy or hard?"
"I dou't go either way until you
show your authority."
"I don't need any authority. Vnil'rn
tho parlor anarchist that held up the
probiuoni or mo uayoustato Security
bank last spring and mado a get-away
with a hundred thousand what?"
"AH right; you aay so provo IL"
Griswold had taken a cigar from tho
open box on tho writing tablo and was
calmly lighting it. Thero was nothing
to bo nervous about. "I'm waiting,'
ho went on, placidly, when tho cigar
was going. "If you nro an officer, you
probably havo a warrant, or a requisi
tion, or something of that sort Show
it up."
"I don't need any papers to tako
you," was tho barkod-out retort. Brof-
fin had moro than onco found himself
confrbntlug similar dead walls, and he
knew tho worth of a bold play.,
"Oh, yes, you do. You accuso mo
of a crlmo; did you seo mo commit
tho crlmo?"
"No."
"Well, somebody did, I suppose
Bring on your witnesses. If anybody
can Identify mo as tho man you aro
after, I'll go with you without the
requisition. That's fair, isn't It?"
"I know you're tho man, and you
know it, too, d n well!" snapped
Brofiln. angered Into bandying words
with his obstlnnto capture.
"That Is neither hero nor there; I
am not affirming or denying. It is for
you to prove your enso, if you can.
And, listen, Mr. Brofiln perhaps it
will save your tlmo and mlno if I add
that 1 happen to know that you can't
provo your case."
"Why can't I?"
"Just because you can't," Griswold
went on argumcntatlvoly. "I know
tho fncts of this robbery you Bpeak of;
a groat many people know them. Tho
newspaper accounts said at tho tlmo
that thero were throe persons- who
could certainly Identify the robber
tho president, the paying teller, and a
young woman. It so happens that all
threo of these people are at present In
Walmskn. At different times you havo
appealed to each of them, and In each
Instanco you havo been turned down.
Isn't that true?"
Brollln glanced up. scowling.
"It's true enough that you you and
tho Ilttlo blnck-oycd girl between you
havo hoodooed the wholo bunch!" ho
rasped. "But when I get you Into
court, you'll Hnd that thero aro oth
ers." Griswold smiled good-riaturedly.
"That Is a bold, bad bluff, Mr. Brollln,
nnd nobody knows it nny bettor than
you do," ho countered. "You haven't
a leg to stand on. This Is America,
and you can't arrest mo without a war
rant. And if you could, what would
you do with mo without tho support
of at least ono of your three witnesses?
Nothing nothing at all."
Brofiln laid tho pistol on tho tablo,
and put tho key of tho safety box be
sldo It. Then ho sat In grim silence
for a full minute, toying idly with a
pair of handcuffs which ho had taken
from his pockot.
"By tho eternal grapples!" ho said,-
at length, half to himself, "I'vo a good
mind to do It anyway and tako tho
chances."
As quick as a . flash Griswold thrust
out his hands.
"Put them on!" ho snapped. "There
aro a hundred lawyers In Now Orleans
who wouldn't ask for anything bettor
than tho chance to defend me at your
expense!"
Brofiln dropped tho manacles Into
his pocket nnd sat back in the swing-
chair. "You win," ho said shortly;
and the battlo was over.
For a Httlo tlmo no word was spo
ken. Griswold smoked on placidly,
seemingly forgetful of tho detective's
prosonco. Yet ho was tho ono who
was tho first to break tho strained
sllenco.
"You aro a game fighter, Mr. Brof-
fin," ho said, "and I'm enough of a
scrappor myself to bo sorry for you.
Try ono of those smokes you'll find
thorn fairly good an.d excuse mo for a
fow minutes. I wnnt to write a let
ter which, if you aro going down town,
perhaps you'll bo good onough to mail
for mo."
Ho pushed tho opon box of cigars
across to tho detoctivo, and dragged
tho lounging chair around to tho
othor Bldo of tho tablo. Thero was
statlonory at hand, and ho wroto rap
idly for a few minutes, covering, throo
pages of tho manuscript sheets beforo
ho stopped. When tho letter wns In
closed, addressed, and stamped, ho
tossed It across to Brofiln, faco up,
Tho detective saw tho address, "MIbb
Margery Grlcrson," and, putting tho
letter into his pocket, got up to go.
"Just ono mlnuto moro, If you
plenso," said Griswold, and, relighting
tho cigar which had been suffered to
go out, ho wont Into tho adjoining bed
room. When ho camo back, ho had
put on a light top coat and a soft hat,
and wns carrying a small handbag.
"I'm your man, Mr. Brofiln," ho said
quietly. "I'll go with you and plead
guilty bb charged."
Wahaaka, tho vlllago-consclous, had
Its nlno-days' wondor displayed for It
in inch-typo headlines when tho Daily
Wahaskan, rehearsing tho story of tho
Now OrleniiB bank robbery, told of tho
voluntary surrondor of tho robber, nnd
of his deportation to tho southern city
to stand trial for his offonse.
Somo fow thero woro who took ex
ceptions to Editor Randolph's editorial
in tho samo Ibsuo, commenting on tho
surrender, and pleading for a suspen
ston of Judgment on tho ground that
much might still bo hoped for from a
man who hnd retraced a broad stop
in tho downwnrd path by voluntarily
accepting tho penalty. Thoso who ob
jected to tho editorial woro of tho per-
verso minority. Tho Intimation was
mado that tho plea had been Inspired
a hint basing Itself upon tho fact that
Miss Grlcrson had been soen visiting
tho office of tho Wahaskan after tho de
parture of tho dotcctlvo, Matthew Brof
fin, with his prisoner.
Tho sensational incident, howovor,
bad boon forgotten long beforo a cor
tain evening, threo wooks later, whon
tho Grlerson carriage conveyed tho
convalescent president of tho Bayou
Stnto Security from tho Grlerson mnn
slon to tho south-bound train. An

carriage, nnd possibly thero woro those
in tho sleeping car who mistook the
dark-eyed and strikingly beautiful
young woman, who took leavo of him
only aftor ho was comfortably Bottled
In hlB section, for his daughter. But
tho whispered words of lcave-tnklng
were rathor thoso of a confldnnta than
a kinswoman.
"I'll arrango tho Raymor matter ae
you suggeat," alio Bald, "and if I had
evon a speaking acquaintance with
God, I'd pray for you tho longest day
I live, Undo Andrew. And about the
trial: I'm going to t leavo It all with
you! Just remembor that I Bhall bleed
Httlo drops of blood for every day the
Judgo gives him, and that tho only
way ho can bo helped is by a short
sentenco. He wouldn't tako a pardon;
he he wants to pay, ynu know.
Good-night, nnd good-by!" And she
put her strong young nrms around An
drow Galbralth's neck and klBsed him,
thereby convincing tho family pnrty In
lower seven that sho was not only the
only man's daughter, but a very nffeo
tionato one, at that.

"And You You've Paid tho Price,
Haven't You?"
twelve, a man for whom the prison
rules had lately been relaxed suffi
ciently to allow his hair to grow, came
out, looked about him as ono dazed,
and assaulted tho closed door of the
carriago as if ho meant to tear it from
its hinges.
"Oh, boy, boy!" came from the one
who had waited; and then Hio carriage
door yielded, opened, closed with a
crash, and the negro driver clucked
to his horses.
They were half-way to tho railroad
station, and sho was trying to per
suode him that there would bo months
and years in which to make up for the
loveless blank, before sano speech
found Its opportunity. And even thep
thero woro interruptions.
"I know you'd bo horo; no, thoy
didn't tell mo, but I know it I would
havo staked my llfo on it, Margery,
girl," ho said, in tho first lucid inter
val.
"And you you'vo paid tho Prlca.
haven't you, Kenneth? But, oh, boy,
dear! I've paid it, too! Don't you b
Hovo mo?"
Thero Tns another Interruption, and
because tho carriago windows were
opon, tho nogro driver grinned and
confided a remark to his horses. Thn
tho transgressor begnn again.
"Where nro you taking mo, Mar
gory? not that It makes any manner
of difference."
"We aro going by train to Now" Op
leans, and this this very ovenlng
we nro to bo married, in Mr. Gal-
bralth'a house. And Uncle Androw is
going to glvo tho brido away. It's oU
arranged."
"And aftor?"
"Afterward, wo aro going away 1
don't know whero. I Juat told dent
old Saint Androw to buy tho tickets to
anywhere ho thought would bo nlco,
and wo'd go. I don't care whoro It Is
do you? And when wo got thero, I'll
buy you a pen and some Ink and paper,
and you'll so on writing tho book, just
as if nothing had happened. Say you
will, boy, dear; please say you will!
And then I'll know that the prlco
wasn't too great."
Ho was looking out of tho carriage
window when ho answered her, across
to tho loveo and beyond it to tho far
ther Bhoro of tho great river, nnd his
oyes were tho eyes of a man who has
seen of tho travail of hla soul and
is satisfied.
"I shall novor write that book, Httlo
girl. That story, nnd nil tho mistakes
that woro going to tho making or it,
Ho on tho othor sldo of the Price.
But ono day, please God, thero shall

"Yes plenso God," she said; and

whon young it can rustle for itself
to a limited extent later.
Tho baby chick should novor ha fort

a mash of coarso bran and charcoal
mixed with hard-boiled eggs is all it

HARD TO DROP

"It was hard to drop Mocha and

"I did not want to acknowledge cof
fee caused tho troublo for I was very
fond of It. At that tlmo a friend
camo to llvo with us, and I noticed
that after ho had been with us a week
ho would not drink his coffee any
moro. I asked him the reason. Ho
replied: 'I havo not had a headache
sinco I loft off drinking coffee, some
monthB ago, till aat weok, when I be
gan again horo at your tablo. I don't
see how anyone can Hko coffee, any
way, after drinking Postum!'
"I said nothing, but at once ordered
a packago of Postum. That was flvo
months ago, and wo havo drank no
coffco since, except on two occasions
whon wo had company, and tho result
each tlmo was that my husband could
not sloop, but lay awako and tossed
and talked half tho night. "We woro
convinced that coffco caused his suf
fering, so ho returned to Postum, con
vinced that coffeo was an enemy, in
stead of a friend, and ho is troubled
