"This has boon a disastrous trip for I'.orrio." she said after one of the Lands hnd relieved the supervisor of Lis horse. "Iu wh.it way?" Siio was a bit impatient. "Mrs. Ilel tien is tilling the valley with tlie story of L'.errie's stay in camp with Mr. Nor cross." Ilis face showed a craver line. "It couldn't be helped. The horses had to bo followed, and thrit youngster could not do it. and. besides. 1 expected to jri't back that nu:ut. XoIhhIt but an oid snoon like Soth Iloldeu would think evil of our h"!. and. besides, Norcross L a man to be rusted."'

"Wish diclu't say anything about any assault." "IIo didn't know it. I'.errie told him that XiiivVos fell from his horse." "fJood Jod! 1 never suspect-l a wonl of tins. I didn't think he'd do that." He fired another peneratinz look upon h'T face, and his voj.-e was vi brant with anxiety as ho said, "Y'oi don't think there's fiiiythins wrons?" ' No. nothing' wruis. but slip's pro fi-ui.dly in love with him. I nevei have seen her so wrapped up in anj one. She thinks of nothing elo.

I fear she is it for a pt:o of sreat unha ppiness." The rot'.'rii of the '-row from flu corral cut short this conference, am" when Mel'arhme went in r.crio greet . o! liim with sucl: frank and joyous p pression that al! his fears vanished. "IMd yen come over the high trail?" f!ie akd. No. I caine your way. 1 :'"-lp" want to takf :mv chances of nine I. It's still raining r.p there." he ensnered; Uieii turned to Way laud: "lit re's your mail, Xoreross, a whole hatful of it and one telegram in the iitin-h. Hope it isn't serious." Way land tMik the bundle of letters nnd retired to his room. i:lad to escape the persistent stare of the cowhands. The dispatch was from his father and was nrt and speciti.r as a command: "Shall be in Denver on the -"d. Meet me at the Palmer House. Am on my way to California. Come prepared to Join me on t he trii." With Cue letters unopened in his lap he sat in silent thought, profoundly troubled by the instant decision which lliis message demanded of him. At t"::-t glance nothing was simpler tuun to pack up and go. He was only a tourist iu the valley, with no intention of staiug. but there was Here a! go meant a violent end of their pleas ant romance. To think of flight sad dened him. and yet his better judg ment was clearly on the side of going. "Much as I like her. much as I admire her, I cannot marry her. The simplest way is to frankly tell her so and go. It si-cms cowardly, but in tiie end she will be happier." His letUrs carried him back into his on u world. One was from Will llalli iay. who was going with Professor Holsmau on an exploring trip up the Nile. "Y ou must join us. Holsmau has promised to take you on." An other classmate wrote to know if he lid not want to go into a laud deal on the gulf of Mexico. A girl asked: "Are vou to be in New York this win-' t.r? I am. I've decided to go into this suffrage movement." And so. one' by oue. the threads which bound him to eastern city life respun their tila-. Luents. After all, this Colorado out- rr, X Y I I fl-i A ROMANCE OF THE BEAR TOOTH RANGE By HAMLIN GARLAND Hamlin Garland mg, even though it snouiu last two years, would only be a vacation. Ilis real life was in the cities of the east. Charming as Borea was, potent as she seemed, she was. after all. a fixe! part or the niouutain land and not to be taken from it. At the moment mar riage with her appeared absurd. A knock at his door and the super visor's voice gave him a keen shock. "Come in." he called, springing to his feet with a thrill of dread, of claim. McFarlane entered slowly and shut the door behind him. Ilis manner was serious aud his voice gravely gentle as he said, "I hope that telegram does not call you away." "It is from my father asking me to meet him in Ienver," answered Nor cross, with faltering breath. "He's on his way to California. Won't you sit down?" The older man took a seat with quiet dignity. "Seetus like a mighty line chance, don't it? I've always wanted to see the coast. Vheu do you plan for to pull out?" "I haven't decided to go at all. I'm still dazed by the suddenness of it. 1 didn't know my father was planning this trip." "I see. Well. In-fore you decide to go I'd like to have a little talk with i you. My daughter has to;u me part oi tvhat happened to you on the trail. 1 want to know all of it- Y'ou're young, but you've been out in the world, and you know what people can say about you and my girl." His voice became level and menacing as he added. "And I don't intend to have her put iu wrong on account of you." Xoreross was quick to reply. "No body will dare accuse her of wrong doing. She's a noble girl. No one will dare to criticise her for what she could not prevent." "Y'ou don't know the P.eldens. My girl's character will be on trial iu ev ery hooe in the county tomorrow. The IVIden side of it will appear in the city papers. Sympathy will be with Clifford. P.errie will be made an issue by my enemies. They'll get me through her." "Good Lord." exclaimed Norcross in sudden realization of the gravity of the case, "what beasts they are!" "Moore's gang will seize upon it and work it hard." McFarlane went on. with calm insistence. "They want tc bring the district forester down on me. This is a fine chance to badger me They will make a great deal of my nuttiuz von on flip roll. Our Htte "Good Lord, exclaimed Norcross in sudden realization of the gravity of the case, "what beasts they are!" campius trip L likely to prove a seri ous matter to us all." "Surely you don't consider me at fault." Worried as he was, the father was just. "No, you're not to blame. No one is .o blame. It all dates back to the horses quitting camp. Dut you've t to stand pat now for Berne s ate." "But what can I do? I'm at your sen ice. What role shall 1 play? Tell me what to do and 1 will do it." ilcl'aihxne was stasaered. but he an- Pi JS swered: "You can at least stay cn the ground and help fight. This is no time to stampede." "You're right- I'll stay, and I'll make any statement you see fit. I'll do any thing that wiil protect Kerrie." Mor'arlane again looked him square ly iu the eyes. "Is there a an agree ment between you?" "Nothing formal that is. I mean I admire her, and I told her" lie stop Icd. feeling himself on the verge of the irrevocable. "She's a splendid girl." he went on. "I like her exceed ingly, but I've known her only a few weeks." McFarlane interrupted. "Girls are flighty critters." he said sadly. "I don't know why she's taken to you so terri ble strong, but she has. She don't seem to care what people say so long as they do not blame you. I'.ut if you should pull out you might just as well cut her heart to pieces" His voice broke, and it was a long time Itcfore he could finish. "Y'ou're not at fa tilt I know that but if you can stay on c little while and make it an ounce or two easier for her and for her mot hot I wish you'd do it." Wayland extended his hand impul sively. "Of course I'll stay. I never really thought of leaving." In the grip of McFarlane's hand was some thing warm and tender. Rerrie could not be entirely deceived She read iu her father's face a subtle change of line which she related to something Wayland had said. "Did he tell you what was in the telegram? lias he got to go away?" she asked anxiously. "Y'es. he said it was fc-oin his fa ther." "What does his father want of him?" "He's on his way to California and wants Wayland to go with him. but Wayland siiys he's not going." A pang shot through l'.errie's heart. "He mustn't go he isn't able to go." she exclaimed, and her pain, her fear, came out in her sharpened, constricted tone. "I won't let him go till he's well." Mrs. McFarlane gently interposed "He'll have to go. honey, if his father needs him." "Lot his father come hero." She rose and, going to his door, decisively knocked. "May I come in?" she de manded rather thau asked before her mother could protest. "I must see you." Wayland opened the door, and she entered. leaving her parents facing each other in mute helplessness. Mrs. McFarlane turned toward her husband with a face of despair. "She's ours no Ionizer, .Toe. Our time of be reavement has come." He took her in his arms. 'There. there. mother, don't cry. It can't be heljH'd. Y'ou cut loose from your par ents and came to nie in just the same way. Our daughter's a grown woman and must have her own life. All we can do is to defend her against the coyotes w ho are busy with her name." "P.ut what of him. Joe: he don't care for her as she does for him. Can't you see that?" "He'll do the right thing, mother; he told mo he would. He knows hw much depends on his staying here now. and he intends to do it." "But in the end. Joe. after this s-an-dal is lived down, can he will he marry her? And if he marries her can they live together and be happy? His way of life is so different. He can't content himself lu re, and she can't tit iu where he belongs. It all seems hopeless to me. Wouldn't it be bet ter for her to suffer for a little while now than to make a mistake that may last a lifetime "Mebbe it would, mother, but the decision is not ours. She's too strong for us to control. She's of age. and if she comes to a full understanding of the situation she can decide the ques tion a whole lot better thau either of us." "That's true." she sighed. "In some ways she's bi-rirer and stronger than both of us. Sometimes I wish shi were not so self reliant." Whtn Wayland caught the startled l.Kk on l'.errie's face he knew that she had learned from her father the con tents of his telegram and that she would require an explanation. "Are you going away?" she asked. "Y'cs. At least. 1 must go down tc Denver to see my father. I shall be gone only overnight." "And will you tell him about our trip?" she pursued, with unflinching di rectness. "And about me?" He gave her a hair aud took a seat himself before replying. "Yes, I shall tell him all about it and about you and your father and mother. He shall know how kind you've all been to me." He said this bravely, and at the uio uient he meant it. but as his father's big. impassive face and cold, keen eyes came back to him his courage sank, aud in spite of his firm resolution some part of liis secret anxiety communicat ed itself to the girl, who asked many questions with intent to find out more particularly what kind of man the eld er Norcross was. Wayland's replies did not entirely re assure her. Hp admitted that his fa ther was harsh and domineering in character Hnd that he was ambitious to have his son take up and carry for ward his work. "He was willing enough to have me go to college til! he found I was specializing on wrong lines. Then I had to tight in order to fceep my place, lie's glad I'm out here. Tor he thiuks I'm regaining my strength. But just as soon as I'm well Enough he expects me to go to Chicago and take charge of the western office. Of course I don't want to do that: I'd rather work out some problem in chem istry thai interests me. but I may have to give in for a time at least."

Dodge City, Kas., Oct. 23. Posses of enrar.gred men combed the south ern part of Grant county, southwest of here, tonight, determined to run to earth the man who choked to death Nellie Byers, a school teacher, mis treated her, and then buried her body under a pile of leaves and dirt. Threats of lynching were heard on every hand as the details of the brutal murder became known. The victim was 24 years old, and from one of the oldest families in the county. After finishing her school work yesterday, the wall-ted toward the house where: she boarded, but never reached it. After waiting several hours, her friends sent out a general alarm and the search was taken up. All night long parties of armed men scoured the purrounding country without avail. Nobody had seen the girl, and it was not until midday that searchers dis covered a pool of blood in a desolate and demote portion of the county. Marks of heavy shoes led to a pile of weeds, and there the tragedy was re vealed. Swollen, discolored ringer marks on the throat showed clearly that her life had ben choked out. Her clothing, what little of it remained, was in shreds, and other marks gave proof of horrible mistreatment- The murderer had raked together a quantity of leaves and weeds and thrown them over the corpse. Bloodhounds were put on the trail late today and wires weie flooded with messages to surrounding tovns to in tercept any strangers. Everyone capable of carrying a gun joined the man hunt.

Medicine after medicine was tried, but none proved of any value. Doan's Kidney Pills, however, gave positive relief and there has been no complaint rincc." (Statement given June 8th. W06).
