When the breath of my body Khali cense, when (he drnuon'B claw .shall fade from my arm" he tore up his Hleeve, and we saw a white crescent shining above ids elbow "when the llnht of my eyes has faded forever, then, even then i shall not forget the city of Ylan. Why, it Is my home mine! Tho river mid the thou sand bildKeti, tho white peak beyond, the fiweetscented gardens, tho lilies, the pleasant nolso of the summer wind laden with be music and the music or bells nil theso are mine. Do you think because tho Kuen-Yuln feared tho drnRoti's claw on my arm that my work with them Is ended? Ho yoii think bocnuse Yue Laou could give, that I acknowledge his rluht to take away? Is he Xnnfil, In whose shadow the white water lotus dares not raise its head? No! No!" he cried, vio lently, "It was not from Yuo Laou, tho scorcerer. the Maker or Moons, that my happiness came! It wna real, it was not a shadow to vanish like a tinted bubble! Can a sorcerer create and give a man the woman he loves? Is Yue-Lnou as great as Xangl then? Xanul is Cod. In Ills own time, in His infinite goodness and mercy, lie will bring me again to the woman I love. And I know 6he waits for me at God's feet." In the strained silence) that followed I could hear my heart's double, beat and I saw Plerpont's face blanched and ptlful. Harris shook himself and raised ids head. The change In his ruddy face frightened me. "Heed!" he said, with a terrible glance at me; "the print of tho dragon's claw is on your forehead and Yue-I.Hou knows it. If you must love, then love like a man, for you will suf fer like a soul in hell. In the end. What Is her name again?" "Ysonde," I answered, simply. CHAPTER VIII. At nine o'clock that night we caught one of tho goldninkers. I do not know how Harris had laid his trap; all I saw of the affair can be told In a "minute or two. We wero posted on the Cardinal road about a milo below the house, Pierpont and I with drawn revolvers on one side, under a butternut tree, Harris on tho other, a Winchester across his knees. I had Just asked Pierpont tho hour, and he was feeling for his watch when far up the road we heard the sound of a galloping horse, nearer, nearer, clattering, thundering past. Then Harris' rifle spat flame and tho dark mass, horse and rider, crashed Into the dust. Pierpont had the half stunned horsemnn by tho collar in a second th horse was stone dead and, as wo lighted a pine knot to ex amine the fellow, Harris' two riders galloped up and drew bridle hesldo us. "Hm!" said Harris, with a scowl, "It's the 'Shiner,' or I'm a moon shiner." We crowded curiously around to see the "Shiner." Ho was red headed, fat and filthy, and his little rod eyes burned In his head like the eyes of an angry pig. Harris went through his pockets methodically while Pierpont. held lilin and I held tho torch. The "Shiner" was a gold mine; pockets, shirt, boot legs, hat, even his dirty fists, clutched tlfht and bleeding, were bnrstlnu with lumps of soft yellow gold. Harris dropped this "moonhhlno gold," as we had com to call it, luto t!io pockets of his sliootlnj-coat, and withdrew to rpiostion the prisoner. He came bark asaln in a few minutes and motioned his mounted men to lake the "Khlner" in charge. We watched them, rifle on thigh, walking their horses slowly away Into the darkness, the "Shiner,"! tightly bound, shullling Bulleuly be-! twpen them. ' "Who Is the 'Shiner?'" asked Pier-! pont, slipping the revolver into his porket again. "A moonshiner, counterfeiter, forger, and highwayman," said Harris, "and probably a murderer. Drunimond will be glad to see him, r.nd I think it like ly he will be persuaded to confess to him what he refuses to confess to me." "Wouldn't he talk?" I asked. "Not a syllable. I'leipont. there Is nothing more for you to do." "For nie to do? Are you not coming back with us, Harris?" "No," said Harris. We walked ulong tho dark road In silence for a while, I wondering what Harriii Intended to do, but he said nothing moro until we reached our own veranda. Here ho held out his hand, first to Pierpont, then to me, saying good-by, as though he were go ing on a long Journey. "How soon will you bo hack?" 1 called out to him as he turned away toward the gate, llecnme across the lawn again and again took our hands with a quiet affection that I had never Imngined him capable of. "I am going," he said, "to put an end to his gold-making to-night. I know that you fellows never suspected what 1 was ubout on my little solitary evening strolls after dinner. I will tell you. Already I have unobtrusive ly killed four of theso goldninkers my men put them under ground just below tho new wash-out at tho four mile stone. There are three left nllve the 'Shiner' whom wo have, another criminal named 'Yellow,' or 'Yeller,' in the vernacular, and the third" "The third," repeated Pierpont, ex citedly. "The third I have never yet seen. Hut I know who and what he is I know; and if he is of human flesh and blood, his blood will flow to night." As he (--poke a slight noise across the turf attracted my attention. Amounted man was advancing silently in the starlight over tho spongy meadowland. 13 tHf I l u it ? El "Then Barrls Rifle Spat Fire." When he came nearer Harris struck a mulch, and we saw that he bore a corpse across his saddle bow. " 'Yaller,' Col. Harris," said the man, touching his slouched hat in salute. This grim Introduction to the corpse made me shudder, and, after a mo ment's examination of the stilt, wide eyed tlead man, I drew back. "Identified." said Harris, "take him to the four-mllo post and carry his effects to Washington under seal, mind, Johnstone." Away cantered tho rider with his ghastly burden, and Harris took our hands once more for the last time. Then lie went away, gayly, with a Jest on his lips, and Pierpont and I turned bnck Into the house. Tor an hour we sat moodily smoking in the hall before the fire, saying little until Pierpont hurst out with: "I wish Harris had taken one of us with him tonight!" The sumo thought had been run ning in my mind, but I said: "Harris knows what he's about." This observation neither comforted us nor opened the lane to further con versation, and after a few minutes Pierpont said good-night and called for Howled and hot water. When he had been warmly tucked away by Howlett, I turned out all but one lamp, sent the dogs away with David and dismissed Howlett for the night. I was not Inclined to retire, for I knew I could not sleep. There was a book lying open on the table beside the fire and I opened It and read a page or two, but my mind was fixed on other things. The window shades were raised nnd I looked out at the star-set tirmanient. There was no inoon that night, but the sky .was dusted all over with spar kling stars and a pale radiance, bright er even than moonlight, fell over meadow and wood. Far away In the forest I heard tho voice of the wind, a soft warm wind that whispered ' a name, Ysonde. ' Listen," sighed the voice of the wind, and "listen" echoed the swaying trees with eery little leaf n-qulver. I listened. Where the long grasses trembled with the cricket's cadence I heard her name, Ysonde; I heard It in the rus tling woodbine where pray mollis hovered; I heard It in the drip, drip of the dew from the porch. The silent meadow brook whispered her name, the rippling woodland streams re peated It, Ysonde, Ysoncir-, until all earth and sky were fill d with the suft thrill. Ysonde, Ysonde, Ysonde. ' night thrush sang In a thicket by the porch niul I stole to the veranda to listen. After a whlln it -began ukuIii, a little further en. 1 ventured Vi n r .1 I ". .V lhll I I I ' V out into the road. Again I heard it far away in the foiebt and I followed It, for I knew it was Kinging of Ysondo. When I came to the path that leaves the main road and enters the Sweot Fern Covert below tho spinney, I hes itated; but the beauty of the night lured me on nnd the night thrushes called me from every thicket. In the starry radiance, shrubs, grasses, field flowers, stood out distinctly, for there was no moon to caFt shadows. Meadow and brook, grove and stream, were il luminated by the pale glow. Hike great lamps lighted the planets hung fron. tho high-domed sky and through their mysterious rays I ho fixed stars, calm, serene, stared from the heavens like eyes. I waded on waist deep through fields of dewy golden-rod, through late clover and wild oats wastes, through crimson fruited sweetbrler, blueberry und wild plum, until the low whisper of tho Wier itrook warned me that tho path had ended. Hut I would not stop, for the night air was heavy with tho perfume of water-lilies and far away, across the low wooded cliffs and the wet meadow land beyond, there was a distant gleam of silver, nnd I heard the murmur of sleepy waterfowl. I would go to tho lake. The way was clear except for the dense young growth nnd the snares of the moose bush. The night thrushes had ceased, but I did not want for the company of living creatures. Slender, quick-darting forms crossed my path nt Inter vals, sleek mink, that fled like shad ows nt my step, wiry weasels ami fat musk-rats, hurrying onward to some tryst or killing. I never had seen bo many little woodland creatures on the move at night. I began to wonder where they all were going so fast, why they all hurried on in the same direction. Now I passed a hare hopping through I he brushwood, now a rabbit scurrying by. flag hoisted. As I entered the beech second-growth two foxes glided by me; a I it i lo further on a doe crashed out of the underbrush, and close behind her stole a lynx, eyes shining like coals. He neither paid attention to the doe or to me, but loped away toward tho north. The lynx was In flight. "From what?" I asked myself, won dering. There was no forest fire, no cyclone, no flood. If Harris had passed that way could he have stirred up this sudden exo dus? Impossible; even a regiment In the forest could scarcely have put to rout these frightened creatures. "What on earth," thought I, turning to watch the headlong flight of a flsher cat, "what on earth has startled the beasts out at this time of night?" I looked up into the sky. The placid glow of the fixed stars comforted me and I stepped on through the narrow spruce belt that leads dawn to tho bor ders of the Lake of the Stars. Wild cranberry and moose-hush en twined my feet, dewy branches spat tered me with moisture, nnd the thick spruce needles scraped my face ns I threaded my way over mossy logs nnd deep spongy tussocks clown to the level gravel of the lake shore. Although there was no wind the lit tle waves were hurrying in from the lake and I heard them splashing among the pebbles. In the pale star glow thousands of water-lilies lifted their half closed chalices toward the sky. 1 threw myself full length upon the shore, and chin on hand, looked out across the lake. Splash, splash, came the waves along the shore, higher, nearer, until a film or water, thin and glittering us a knife blade, crept up to my elbows. I could not understand it; the lake was rising, but there had been no rain. All along the shore the water was running up; I heard the waves among the sedge grass; the weeds at my side were awash In the ripples. The lilies rocked on the tiny waves, every wet pod rising on the swells, sinking, rising again until the whole lake was glim mering with undulating blossoms. How sweet and deep was the fragrance from the lilies. And now the water was ebbing, slowly, and the waves re ceded, shrinking from 1he shore rim until the white pebbles appeared again, shining like froth on a brim ming glass. (TO HI? CONTIN'l'Kl).) HIS TERRIFIC WASTE OF TIME. Awful Shock to Man Who for Years Had Written Extra Letter. "Perhaps ns severe a smnll shock as I ever got," said a man who is careful of his time, "struck mo the other day when I discovered that for many years I had been mis spelling a certain word by tho in troduction of an additional letter. It wasn't tho misspelling of the word that disturbed me, It was tho fact that misspelling it. as I had done. I had wasted so much time in writing it. Hut now I have begun to net back tho time lost. "I have selected a word that I find I frequently use. a word from which one letter can be eliminated without Impairing Its significance or Its appeal to the eye, and from that word In writ lug I am now omit ting that one let ter. "As I figure It, In about 17 years, by leaving out a letter from this word, I shall gain about as much time as I have lost by adding a, letter to that other word. I shall square the ac count, and then 1 shall feel easier. "Time Is the most valuable thing we have, and I hate to waste It." Bacteria In Street Mud.

But at one of tho performances the girl who played the dairy timid was ab sent without notice. At the last mo ment the manager gave the lines to a shepherdess, who had never had lines to speak before, and who was ex cessively nervous when her cue came. This Is what the astonished audience heard : "Hope filled their trough and bll;;hted their love; they whetted their tooth!" Argument That Won. Susie had been promised a pair of new slippers for Sunday. Anxious to havo them at once she had tried In wry way to persuade her mother to buy theni for her and let her wear them to a children's party that was to be given on Wednesday, but without success. Finally when both she and her mother had become tired of the teasing the little girl said: "Well, mamma, you needn't get them now; but maybe I'll be dead by Sunday and If I am you'll be sorry for disappoint ing me." Susie ,woro the slippers Wednesday. NEW IDEA Helped Wis, Couple. It doesn't pay to stick too closely to old notions of things. New ideas often lend to better health, success and hap plness. A Wis. couple examined an idea now to them and stepped up several rounds on tho health ladder. The husband writes: "Several years ago we suffered from coffee drinking, wero sleepless, nervous, sallow, weak and Irritable. My wife and 1 both loved coffee and thought It was a bracer." (delusion.) "Finally, after years of suffering, we read of Postum and the harmfulneas or coffee, and believing that to grow we bhould give some attention to new Ideas, wo decided to test Postum. ' When wo made it right we liked It and wero relieved or ills caused by coffee. Our friends noticed the change fresher skin, steadier nerves, better temper, etc. "These changes wero not sudden, but relief increased as we continued to drink and enjoy Postum, and wu lost the desire for coffee. "Many of our friends did not like Tost urn at first, because they did not make it right. Hut when they boiled Postum according to directions on pkg., until it was dark nnd rich, they '.iked It better than coffee and were benefited by tho change." "There's a lloason."

The annoyed pastor ron filled lo his wife that he suspected tho button thrower to he silngy old Deacon (!., who had fo strongly op posed his "call" to the pastorate, but that lie dare not accuse him of it for lack of evidence.

"Why not. play 'Hutton, button who's got the button?" he Inquired of waiting children. "Oh, yes!" exclaimed his youngest daughter with enthusiasm. "And you lend us the button, papa!"
