The Finding of
Jasper Holt

»... . II I. —
All morning while the train glided
over the level plain he was going over
hts recent experience; going back to
the moment when the girl entered
upon his vision and looked at him
with that clear, direct gazo that trust
ed him; thinking over ever;*detail of
his finding her in the darkness and
peril; the miracle that he and not some
other should have found and saved
her; recalling every Incident of the
bez'jtifui wearisome way by which
they had gone home together; and the
wonder of the girl’s faith in him, her
love for him—his love for her.
Any one watching the absorbed si- i
lent man sitting alone, his head
dropped hack against the seat, his hat
drawn down over his eyes, the lines
of gravity deep upon brow and lip
»rd chin, would have Judged him for a
much older man than he was, so ma
turing had life thus far been to him.
And now, the task that was before
him was to find Scat hi in—If, indeed, he
were still in the land of the living—or
some evidence that he was dead, and
to know beyond a question of doubt
what had become of those paper, and
Just how far Harrington had been re
sponsible for the theft.
He loathed hts task, yet felt com
pelled by some Inner urging to finish
It. Almost hie soul revolted to the ex
tent of giving tip the case and letting
his -nemlea triumph over hint. What
to him now was his silver mine, since
he Ind found her-and lost her for
ever? Why not let his property go and
leave Hawk Valley forever, where his
refutation had undone him in his
greatest opportunity? Why not go to
some now land where he was unknown
and begin all over again?
lint his soul was too strong and true
for that He must face Ills mistakes in
the place where he had made them
and undo, if might be, some of the
harm he had done. He had to do
in1..; wneiuor ne womu or no. 11 wub
right that he should find his papers
anil make good his cinira. It was a
part of the true living he had set him
eeU from this time forth. He had
promised to let people see that he
was trustworthy and this was the
first step. If Harrington and bis men
go', tbctr way he would be branded as
a thief and a liar aguin and the old
ro utatlon only fixed the firmer.
It vrzs toward evening when they
paused the scene of the late disaster
and the long rays of the sun rested
over the river and valley where peril
and death had brooded. A temporary
■way had been made for the tracks, all
signs', of death and disaster swept
ha..lily out of sight by the wrecking
train, and the tide of travel was al
ready rolling calmly on again. A
t<u-j.ru) of workmen, like ants carrying
grains of sand over a wall, were at
work on the broken bridge, and the
passing traveller looked cheerfully
across and got no hint of fire and fear
and sudden death. Even the trainmen
had had their orders and answered
g uffly In brief sentences, when
<nertlon0d about the wreck, turning it
urr'llghtly as a small thing, until they
heard that here was one of the almost
victims of the accident. Then they
looked sharply a second time and stole
•hack to talk In low tones with guarded
•sentences about where the blame
mhovl 5 lie. But no one kuow much
«bout the details, after all. The con
du reluctantly admitted that the
vie:ires, those who had been saved,
had been taken to the nearest, city and4
disiribuied among the hospitals. That
y -.s all. He implied that there were
many victims who had not even that
•comfort. '
So, on to the nearest city went Jas
per Holt, arriving shortly after sun-*
•daw i and began his search among the
x KoirSnw .•ialiol
rail road office and got ail the infor
jnaUon they could give him.

Jasper Holt, standing at the window of
his hotel room and" looking out on
the busy streets of that western city
towr.vd evening of the third day,,
©rijiki not feel it so. More and more
it fsfcame necessary to find that man.
©, ifce sure of his death. Tho three
days of visiting hospitals and viewiug
Filtering and death had graven tho
sad lines even deeper in his hue.
strong face. It began to seem now to
him that he might ovon have a duty
towkrd that loathsome creature Scath
lin, though heaven knows why any
Bilk thought should have entered his
head, seeing he was the injured, not
the Injuring. But the more he thought
afeapt it the more he felt that he must
search further.
To look any longer in the city was
absurd. He had already covered every
clue that he had found, and the railroad
author***! were beginning to grow
t
weary of this assiduous young man
with the firm jaw and the blue gray
eyes of steel who steadily demanded
the missing man. They offered to send
him back to the scene of the accident
with a man to help him, and author
ity to get assistance from thetr work
men to search the river and vicinity.
This offer Jasper finally accepted and
the next morning was on his way back.
The last time Holt had seen Scath
tin he had not really seen him at all,
he had merely sensed his presence In
the darkness.
They had both been sleeping—
Seathlin with the relaxation of one
who no longer needs to be on the
alert, Holt with half his senses on
guard—when the crash came. Splinter
Ing glass and a rush of cold air brought
Holt clearly to himself. The car had
been turned on end and was sinking,
sinking down with cneak and gron;
and the two men were thrown together
for a monet into the aisle, clinging tc
the arms of the seats. Holt had heard
the terrible oaths with which Scathlln
was wont to embroider his speech ever
on calmer occasions. They sounded
now like a challenge to the Almighty
The younger man had reached out a
hand in the darkness to strike the
other, and had uttera single sentence
"Cut that out!” but the profanity con
tinued, and Scathlin had struck him a
blo\y blindly across his eyes which bo
wlldered him for a second and made
the confusion more black and terrible
Then he had been aware that Scathlir
was scrambling up over the arm of the
seat to the window, and was aboul
climbing out. The red glow from out
side flared up and showed Scathlin’f
bulk against the night, his head and
shoulders already out of the window
the stream of oaths not so distancl
now because they were flung to the
outdoor world.
It was then that he realized thal
Scathlin was escaping from him and
he must not let him get away. Ever
in such a situation he remembered bis
long quest, and pulling himself up by
malu force, caught Scathlin by th<
foot. Suddenly he remembered the
curious actions of Scathlin the day be
fore, and his fumbling with his shot
strings afterwards. The shoe Holt held
in his firm grip was laced and tied ir
a hard knot, but Holt's knife was ready
and he cut the string in several places
Scathlin did not stay for shoes. He
loft his footgear readily in his pur
suer's hands and made good his escape
but Molt, forgetful of his peril for the
moment, searched In the shoe and
fonnd a folded paper.
It was too dark to toll If the paper
were ono of those he sought. He put
it safely in his pocketbook for further
investigation, felt in the shoe carefully
once more to make sure there was nol
another, and then climbed out of the
window after Scathlin. But when he
dropped into the .nelee belowe he
could not see Scathlin anywhere
There were some rocks far belof. and
down there he had thought he saw ti
white face as he first looked from the
window before he leaped, when the
firo broke out with a flare. But aftei
he had dropped and found himself ir
the water he could uot quite locate the
rocks again, and while ho was search
ing he saw another victim drop and
sink and rise again, and he went to her
rescue. So had Scathlin had his wisti
and escapod from the train before they
reached the region of Hawk Valley
Holt and his assistant searched the
scene of the wreck until tho younj
man was convinced that further searci:
there was useless, and sent the mar
back to the city. Then ,he dropped
dpwn the rive rbank and talkod wltt
one or two moil on the wrecking crew
while they were waiting for the con
slructiou train to come and bear then
back to their camp, and here for tin
first time he got a clue. They hac

Ised to get a doctor and fix the mai
up. The man himself had begged then
to shoot him. He was almost out o
his head with suffering Their vagm
description tallied with Scathlin'
rpught appearance and Holt becam
convinced he, had found hie man.
Making the best he could out o
l heir indefinite directions, for the;
really had not much idea of the local
ity of that shack themselves, Hoi
started off in search.
He found Scathlin before nightta!
that same day, lying alone and moat
ing with pain and fever in the d<
serted shack. The householder ha
! gone away at dawn on business, pro*
islng a speedy return, but had he
come back, and Scathlin, his broke
! bone set rudely by an unskilled ham
| lay suffering torments. When Hoi
pushed the door open and looked, ip. h
■ started up with a yell, his eyfes pri
jlrudtng in fear. He thought that Ho
iwas dead in the fire of the wrecl
and this was his spirit come to deman
I account.
j It was only when Holt laid his cool
| hand on the dirty, crusted brow Jnd
i spoke in his quiet voice of command,
that Scathlin settled back, the terror
' still in his eyes, and consented to be
still. He began gradually to realize
that Holt was there in the flesh, and
that not for retribution either. He had
not succeeded in escaping his captor.
He never could do that.’ But his cap
tor would not be a tormentor. That
was plain. He had heard that Holt
was “square” with his men, but had
never believed it. Now he had oppor
tunity to judge for hhnself. And so
cultning and contemptible was the
creature that when he was once as
sured of the fact that Holt would not
strike him when he was down, he at
once set about to take advantage of
it. It was as if he had found a spot of
honor wherein Holt was vulnerable,
and there upon his bed of pain, in his
loathsome helplessness, with no one
to relieve him but Holt, he attacked
that one pregnable spot of Holt's fort
ress. Day and night he moaned and
fretted. Hour after hour he demand
ed this and that, whining like a baby
and cursing like a demon by turns.
The householder did not return. It
is possible that something ill befell
him in that lonely plain over which he
Journeyed skirting the desert; it is
probable that he had had enough of
Scathlin's complaints and was glad
to escape from his unwelcome guest.
However it \ws, Holt was there alone
with him for many days, nursing him
as tenderly as a woman might have
done; bearing with his varying moods;
washing him, feeding him, cooling his
hot forehead. Only once did Scothlin
lapse from his role of pampered pa
tient and beg with terror and abject
humility in his eyes and voice, and
that was the day when Holt declared
his intentto not going after a doctor.
: Scathlin was sure that Holt meant to
! desert him, and he cried like a baby,
| swore like a mad man, and then plead
ed and promjsed cpntritely. Butjt was
! all of no avail and Holt left him for a
i few hours, with a supply at hand
I for every need, and went for a doctor,
! Scothltn’s cries and curses followed
! him as far as he could hear, and some
I thing like pity came into his heart for
i the poor, wicked old criminal, so that
I he hastened his steps with all his
! might.
j When he returned four hours later
j with a gruff but kindly doctor, the
j cunning look came back into the little
beedy eyes and the bristly old Jaw
1 grew stubborn and seuftsh again. He
| saw that Holt's honor still held and he
meant J.o get the worth of his money
put of hun.
The doctor came every few days
i after that and Scrthlin improved rap
1 idly, growing more arrogant every
j day.
; Holt went about silently for the
most part; nursing the patient, fifpk
ing his meals—there were a tew sup
plies in the shack and Holt had
bought more when he went for the
| doctor; besides there was game to be
hadfor the shooting. There was some
thing about his set. stern face even In
ilia gentleness that sometimes shamed
Scaihlin a id silenced him for a while.
It was as if his mind was far away on
higher things, and Scathlin’s petty tor
ments did not reach up into the rare
fied air where he really lived.
Once when he was getting better and
sitting up Scathlln attempted a story,
so vile and low that the devil himself
must have originated it. He laughed
immoderately as he told it. honing to
break the stern sadness of Hol't face,
which fairly made him frantic to look
at. hut Holt looked at htm wtth a
kind of pity for a second, and then the
sternness grew terrible.
! “Scathlln, cut that out, you beast!”
he said, and left the cabin for the open
air. It was that day that Holt had a
struggle with himself to stock to his
Job.
There was no longer the necessity
that brought him. The papers, the rest
of them, wherever they were, were
surely not here. Holt had gone over
every inch of Scathlin's clothes and
possessions, and there was no place
where he could possibly have hid them
about the shack that Holt had not
looked. He had watched Scathlln by
night and by day when he did not
know he was being watched, and he
wt»u PAnvInffid flint Rpatlilin nn
longer protecting any papers of his.
The one which he had taken from the
toe of Scathlin’s shoe had proved to
be his own and most important. What
Scathlln had done with the rest he
was not sure, but it was probable that
he had given some of them to Jean
with the wallet which he had, of
1 course, recognized, when he picked it
up and handed it to her. It was also
possible that the man who owned the
■ shack had, by some means, been
1 wheedled into taking the papers back
1 to Harrington. ' Every circumstance
' made his speedy return to Hawk Val
1 ley advisable, and yet here he was
1 chained to this helpless, peevish old
’ man, who when he was done with him,
- would, if he could, stab him in the
’ back for all h\s had done for him.
1 Ifanything of all this passed through
Holt’s mind as he paced up aud down
f alone outside the cabin, he kept It to
r .himself, and it made no mark upon his
• face. Just as patiently and just as
t kindly He waited on that ungrateful
old creature, all the time seeming to
1 live himself on a higher plane and
- breath a higher air! and the old maa
-1 hated him for it.
1 And so as the days at last came
.- when the patient coaid walk about a
t little, the beady old eyes took on new
a canning, the grizzly jaw grew more
[, set, the whining complaints became
t more pitiful; and when Holt urge*

lln'a memory; and his terror returned
with each day of his recovery.
One day when Holt had gone at last
to a settlement to procure a wagon
and some other necessities for the
journey, he returned to find the cun
ning old ingrate gone!
At first it seemed only a relief from
a disagreeable task, and he would

felt too that he mus keep hold of!
Scathlin and take him back to face
what he should find awaiting him li

And so he drew him from his crouch

made a compact with him, for he rec
ognised his fear. That night saw the,
two again on their way to Hawk Val
ley. Scathlin was to have shelter and
food, and work when he was able, but
in return he must abide by certain
rules. Scathlin, relieved and cunning
still, uromised eagerly, with many
mental reservations; ad so the pil
grimage at last was ended, and Holt
was going back—back where the girl
he loved was staying — the girl he
loved, but might not see!
CHAPTER XI.
There had been no fuss made over
Jasper Holt when he was born. They
handed him an honored name from
some firce old warrior of a forebear,
relegated him to a fourth story back
nursery with a trained nurse, and loft
him to himself.
His mother "paused long enough be
fore returning to her interrupted social'
career to look him over, declare that
lie uau muc ejeo auu duo uouctcu hid
hair was going to curl; then she was
wv all owed up in the wojjd from which
she haci refuelantly~s)epe rFa s i d tT. She
had little use for a son eicep to dress
him in velvets and Lord Fauntleroy
collars and make of him a toy to amuse
her guests. Until he reached that stage
she saw very little of him.
Of his stern father he saw less. He
was immersed in business. He was
rich, but wTiat of tha!? He had to
make more riches to keep the social
whirl fed.
The baby had a face and form worth
noticing, oven in his first days. The
great blue eyes that had attracted his
mother’s flitting attention, could be
gray sometimes, and had in them
depths of light and wisdom that fairly
startled his practical nurse. He had
thebrow of a philosopher, and gold
hair rippled around the fine little head
like a halo. The old warrior namesake
must have bestowed upon him that,
firm chin beneath the cupid’s bow of
the lips, and aur -in angel had lent
him that smile!
But as he grr- er there came
into his eyes a « .ineas that was
almost pathetic at ;es. He was an
affectionate child, eujte embarrassing
his cold, reserved nurse with his dem
onstrations, but winning the utmost
devotion I ways from all who had to
serve him.
He was not a good boy in the con
ventional acceptation of the word. He
sweetly serenely had his own way in
everything from the time he could
walk and talk. He would neither eat
what he did not like, nor wear what
he did not fancy. He did not take
kindly to his mother's velvets and1
curls and lace collars. He always dis
appeared hopelessly when made ready
for a dress parade. He would fight
ny bully on the back streets who un
dertook to cheat the tittle lame news
boy. and he was always trying to take
the part of some weak dog or child.
Ho could run down the street with the
swiftness of a swallow, his pockets full
of sharp stones, and hit every electric
light in the block as he ran, and he
was forever taking the blame frankly
of all the broken windows and looted :
garden plots in the neighborhood. In
these days his acquaintance with his
father was limited to severe inter
views in which stem threta and scath
ing reprimmls mingled with a galling
sreasm were delth abundantly, ft was
as ills clear eyes iuuruu sieauny, nn
fraldly, into the angry steel ones of
the man that his young faee hardened,
his warrior chin toot a firm set, and
the light in his faee was deadened
by a stall of pain. He was growing
wise and lei ng his faith in the love he
had taken for granted in both father
and mother. It was at that time that
ho lived mostly upon the street, and
companioned with boys of the rougher
class. No one but his nurse knew it,
| and she hut seldom. She was only too
1 gh.il to have the time off duty.
was when they discovered a child
; ish plot .he neighborhood to mob
I the president of a defaulting bank in
] which the hard working parents of
some of his playmates had lost their
all, that Jasper was taken hold of by
the law as leader and financier of the
whole enterprise. Bravely, proudly, he
took the whole blame, exonerating the
other boys, and dclring himself in
stigtor ofe tho affair.
His father paid a heavy fine to hush
it up and took his si in charge. A
i merciless whipping was the beginning
of that interi iew between them, which
the son received like a gentleman. But
when it was over he lifted reproachful
eyes, steadied his qulcerlng warrior
chla and said determinedly: “But all
the same, father, 1 think I was right!
That man had been stealing those poor
people’s money!"

Principles For Employers.
F/ora the Indianapolis News.
Twelve principles of industrial rela
tions have been indorsed by American
employers as represented In the mem
bership of the United States Chamber
of Commerce. A canvass of a referen
dum vote announced today showed the
proposal for a national employment
system to have been the only article of
IS which failed to receive the two
thirds majority.
Underlying the cardinal principle
that "the public interest requires ad
justment of industrial relations by
peaceful methods," were those declar
ing “the right of workers to organise;”
that "industrial harmony and prosper
ity will be most effectually promoted
by adequate representation of the
parties in interest;" and that indus
trial relations agreements “should bo
faithfully observed.”
Other declarations approved were
that wages should be “reduced only
when the possibility of reduction of
costs in all other directions has been
exhausted;” that every man is entitled
to an opportunity to earn a living wage
and that "wages should be adjusted
with duo regard to their purchasing
power.”
Fixing of a basic day as a “device
for increasing compensation” was de
clared to be a “subterfuge that should
be condemned.”
About Knox’s Resolution.
When the Senate has had time to study
the resolution, with its inconsistencies,
its dangerous proposals, its insults for
our friends and its consolation for our
foes, w care convinced it will vote It
down. •
Indianapolis News. Rep.
Senator Knox clearly sees that neither
France nor Great Britain would ratify a
treaty without a league of some sort, or
a full equivalent therefor. The equiva
lent that he offers is the declaration of a
new policy that would commit this coun
try to co-operation with "our chief co
belligcrents for the defense of civilisa
tion,” and to war in association with
them if war should^c necessary.
Springfield Republican, Ind.
The present Knox resolution, if adopt
ed, would involve an attempt by ttia
Senate at usurpation by seeking to inter
fere with and control the treaty making
power in a stage which does not offi
cially concern it. It would be an over
weening performance by a body* of men
d^in^raticallyunre)iresentaliy« Si $9
American TiSopIe Try 11# to assume the
full direction of our foreign relations.
Mr. Wilson, confronted by such an arro
gant declaration, would be bound to safe
guard the constitutional prerogatives of
his high office by throwing himself In
opposition to it with all his constitution
al resources. The Knox resolution might
well have distinguished more clearly be
tween that which is abstractly desirable
and that which is actually attainable. As
the proposed declaration is drawn the
two things are intermingled.
Philadelphia Record, Dem.
The German propaganda has annexed
the republican side of the Senate, with
the support of a few democrats who
would sacrifice anything to annoy, harass
and embarrass the president, who as a
member of the peace conference is under
the obligations of honor not to make the
treaty public till the peace conference so
orders.
Louisville Post, Dem.
The whole thing gives certain senators
who hope to get the republican nomina
tion for president a chance to make
speeches in furtherance of the candida
cies. It also gave the handful of recal
citrant democrats, with Reed and Cham
berlain in the lead, an opportunity to
vent their temper against the national
administration.
Chicago Daily News, Ind.
The Knox resolution should be thor
oughly debated. A dispassionate discus
sion of the alternative it purports to of
fer should bring about its decisive de
feat.
New York Times. Ind.
This resolution which Mr. Knox has
had the hardihood to propose for the
adoption of the Senate is dangerous not
alone to the peace of the world and ts
our good relations with the powers en
gaged with us in negotiating the treaty;
it is, we feel well assured dangerous tf,
the republican party. There is abundant
evidence that the people of the United
States ucslre a prompt peace as ardent
ly as the people of the European coun
ties. and there is evidence thtbt n© very
great part of them hold that' view of
the League of Nations covenant to which
Mr. Knox gives such unseemly expres
sion. We are confident that they would
deeply resent: the adoption, or even the
serious consideration by the Senate, of
the resolutions which the senator from
Pennsylvania has most unwisely been
moved to introduce.
New York World, Dem.
Unless the Senate has gone crazy the
Kuox resoution will never again see the
light of day; but its introduction was a
msehlevous and miserable proceeding;
A Poets tars.
For hours went wailing by
The summer wind last night—
I could not win my car
From following its flight,
From seeking to make clear
The burden of its cry.
So dread, for June’s rose days.
That voice which swept the dark!
It seemed the child of haze
In autumn, late and stark,
When all the leaves are shed
And roses long time dead.
For hours I heard If moan,
That wild nocturne of June,
Now wandering away,
As if it would attune
Its chant elsewhpre; then stray
Hither with restless tone.
Now sharp it broke, now low,
In sudden tenderness;
As ripples coyly flow
Where beach waves cease to press*—
Then, like a mist-drowned sail,
I lost its way ward trail.'
—William Struthers.
Vacation.
And now the city dweller dreamt* ef
speckled trout in mountain stream*
nnd rufous deer that roam the glens,
When summer comes with brassy skies
who does not long for things like these,
for outings where the mountains, rise
or in the shade of lordly trees? And
surely men, who toil and spirt fo*
wearthy months, and give their best
when rattled by the city's din, should
have one month of helpful rest. Orw
month of loafing in the dells, when
nature docs her smoothest work, am*
man would come back wee lg belts, t*
do his stunt as shippi lerk. One
month of camping In l* ild, the of
fice chairs all left 1> at, and man
would then be re on iled to his dem
nition, beastly grind. One month of
trapping grizzly bears, of catching cod
fish in tire sea, of chasing bobcats to
their lairs and mail would* do the work
of three. Though earnestly we work
ers try to plan out fine vacation
schemes, the cost of living la so high
we have to take It out ia dreams. The
grocer and the butcher still insist on
having all we earn, so we pass up the
wind swept hill, the woodland and the
brae and burn. The iceman and the
plumber come to tell how much they
think we owe; in vain the scented
breezes hum, wc can't enjoy them g
they blow. ^ _ _

stages and ths pains and aches are only
nature’s first cries for help. Do not
despair. Find out the cause and give
Bgture all the help you can and she
will repay you with health. Look after
the kidneys. The kidneys are the most
overworked organs of the human body,
and when they fail in their work of
filtering and throwing oft the poison
that constantly accumulates in the sys
tem, everything goes wrong. GOLD

give almost immediate relief from kid* ,
ney and bladder troubles and their kin- \
dred ailments. They will free your \
body from pain in short order. But ba ^

among druggists as bltro-phospliata,
