Kirls, a total of 890. This is a
creditable showing, but is not so
marked as a comparison along

year we had an aggregate attend

among tho girls 8,908 days: total

CHAPTER XXVI.
A Chance Conversation.
The opportunity thus so unexpected
ly afforded was not one to be wasted,
and Keith accepted It with swift deter
mination. The expression In the worn-1
an's face was scarcely one of wel-'
come, yet his purpose was sufficiently ,
serious to cause htm to Ignore this
with easy confidence in himself.
"I am, Indeed, most fortunate to dis
cover you alone, Miss Maclalre," he
said, avoiding her eyes by a swift
glance over the table, "and evidently
at a time when you are only beginning
your meal. May I Join you?"
She hesitated for an Instant, debat
ing with herself, and as quickly de
ciding on disagreeable tactics.
"I presume this is a public table,
and I consequently hare little choice
in the matter, If you insist," she re
plied, her voice more civil than her
words. "Still, Mr. Keith, I am not
accustomed to associating with crim
inals." He emiled, holding his temper In
check, more than ever determined to
win.
"Then, possibly, you may rather
welcome a new diversion. I can as
sure you our criminals out here are
the most Interesting portion of our
population. I wish I might have your
permission."
Standing there before her, bare
headed, his slightly tanned face strong
and manly, his gray eyes filled with
humor, Miss Maclalre recognized
again that he was not of the com
mon herd, and the Innate conutrw nt
ner nature obtained mastery. What
harm could It do for her to chat with
him for half an hour? It was better
than eating a lonely meal, and, be
sides, she might learn something of
value to report to Hawley. Her own
eyes brightened, the slight frown dis
appearing. "You are certainly an illustration of
your theory," she said pleasantly. "I
shall have to say yes, but, really, I did
not suppose you wou'd enjoy being
ranked among that class."
He drew out a chair, and sat down
facing her, leaning slightly forward
upon the Intervening table.
"Nor would I, only I recognise you
do not comprehend. The source of
your information Is a bit polluted,
Miss Maclalre. There are there whose
good opinion I do not seek, and you
should not form your decisions on the
unsupported testimony of a personal
enemy."
"Oh, Indeed," rather resenting the
words, and already regretful of her
compliance. "Surely I have aa much
reason to trust my lniormanx as i
have you. He, at least, has proven
himself a friend." . ,.
."I wish I could feel as fully aaaur
of that as you do," he returned honest

piaying nervously 'wru aTttfire.
"Mr. Keith, I cannot help but like
you, and I also feel most kindly dis
posed toward Mr. Hawley. I wish In
this I was no longer compelled to con
sider you an enemy of us both. There
is no reason why I should, except for
your blind prejudice against this other
man who is my friend. I know you
have some cause, for he has told me
the entire story, yet I am sure he did
no more than his actual duty. He let
me realize how very sorry he was that
the marshal at Carson City had called
upon him for assistance."
"Who? Hawley?" Keith questioned,
hardly trusting his own ears.
"Yes; Indeed he Is a very different
man from what you have been led to
believe. I know he Is a gambler, and
all that, but really It Is not altogether
his fault. , He told me about his life,
and it was very sad. He was driven
from home when .. only a boy, and
naturally drifted Into evil company.
His one ambition Is to break away,
and redeem himself. I am so anxious
to he'p him, and wish you could real
ize his purpose, as I do, and become
his friend. Won't you, for my sake?
Why, even in this sffalr he has not
the slightest mercenary purpose he
has only thought of what was rightful
ly mine." I
Keith listened, feeling to the full the
woman's earnestness, the impossibili
ty of changing her fixed conviction.
Hawley had planted his seed deep and
well In fruitful soil.
"You make a strong and charming
advocate, Miss Maclalre." he returned, j
feeling the necessity of saying some-1
thing. "I should like to have you
equally earnest on my side. Yet it
will be hard to convince me that
'Plack Part' Is the paragon of virtue
you describe. I wish I might believe
for your sake. Did he also explain
how he came Into possession of these
papers?"-
"Oh, yes, Indeed; there Is no secret
about that. They were entrusted to
htm by an old man whom he discov
ered sick In Independence, and who
died In his rooms three years ago.
Mr. Hawley has been searching ever
since for the old man's granddaughter. '
It is remarkable how he was finally
convinced that I was the one." j
"A photograph, was it not?"
A gleam of sudden suspicion ap
peared in the brown eyes, a alight
change In facial expression.
"That was a clue, yes, but far from

"Well, really, you have. Doctor," ,
she replied sweetly, veiling her eyea

has not honored me; we merely met

"With pleasure, yea."

still lingered. Mies Christie extended
