CHAPTER VII. Continued.
"Ylan I have II veil there and
loved there. 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.

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.

we have, and I hate to waste It."

Cuticura Proved a Great Success.
"Eczema began over the top of my

at a love romance, and comments as

"Hope filled their youths and whet

But at one of tho performances the
girl who played the dairy timid was ab

shepherdess, who had never had lines
to speak before, and who was ex

This Is what the astonished audience

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

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

QAVE HER DADDY AWAY.
Little One's Innocent Remark That
Left the Dccon C.'.sping.
Every Sunday some one threw a
button into the contribution box of the
little chinch. 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.
At a church "sociable" 'hat week
some one suggested the playing of
games. Deacon 0. had just partaken
of oyster soup at some one else's ex
pense and felt wanned and expansive.
"Why not. play 'Hutton, button
who's got the button?" he Inquired of
waiting children.
"Oh, yes!" exclaimed his youngest
