Hut his -first words, too. were an order that she leave the room, and r.i.ahle to combat his professional 1! : I:iiess. meekly she laid to obey. Lit tle and wholly hopeless she stole down stairs.

"Cal." he cried. "Cal. you don't think I w as a party to this attempt at' mur der':" Then, at Caleb's reply. whiMi went hurtling back at Lira, the girl was croueh ir.g. white nrs 1 still, and clutch iiicr at the stair rail. Tarty! Attempt! Because jou did not p'ull the triir'jrer are you any the k-s guilty?" "I to you believe that I would mur der t!ie man -my girl loves?" Dexter Allison moaned row. Barbara gasped at the deadly anger wl.i-h crossed Caleb Hunter's face. Cab'., had lifted a hand in righteous accusation. "You have .dealt in crookedness," he thundered. "You have thrived on cunning.- And. being a law unto yourself in this country, you have gone unpun ished ti 1 1 1 1 1 now. You aided and abet ted a vi ions and unscrupulous scoun drel i:i his vi!iakiy. and now you have looked upon the result of your works. Law has never t u hed you. sir re Las passed you by.

They had been friends for close to forty years, yet they were worse than si ranker now. I tester Allison could ii- t answer. He could not tpeak aloud. Caleb's tin-'cr had swung toward the door in a gesture unmistakable. Alli turned, and. ghastly of face, met the c;. es of l is daughter. "Barbara." he appealed to her fran tically. "Baby" But she shrank, a huddled heap of rn.-'-ry. away from him. "You too?" she whi-Tered. "You! A".d then, dully: "And you're my fa ther!" The shoulders" beneath the garish p'.aid rose and fell pitifully. This. tl:e:i, was the moment which he fear ed. He gulped aloud and hung his 1m id and turned his feet toward home. 1.. rba"a rose after he had gou and eivpt into a chair. One after another they tried to per suade the girl to rest. Miriam came and talked to her. and Caleb, and even Miss Sarah p ssing through the room stopped to urge her again to go to bed. But she met them all with the same wordless refusal. She was wait lag for him when the doctor, descend ing in the morning, tried to combine, diplomatically, praie for what she had done with disapproval of her obsti nacy. "My dear child, this insubordination will help no one,". he said, "and it may ;:d in your collapse at just the moment when you are needed most." "Will he live?" was all she would pay. "Will he live?" And before such hopelessness the doctor could not lie. "lie is hard hit and yery. very wenk. had to admit "The shock is great ! Si J and (he tissue damage unpromising. ( have more like a woman now. And It it far worse than I expected, but he ' f- and Uncle Cal have been only ab g r-HiT f 'trp finrt moet nier wouVl have surd."' te k l een already dead. And his vitalitj- is a marvel, even to me." He might liave comforted her. but with no other statement could he have told the trutL. lie failed also in his effort to persi ade her to go to bed; he had breakfast with Caleb, and she re fused to eat. And she was still there in her chair, asking only to be let alone, when Carry Devereau and Fat Joe ar rived. She rose and ran to meet the latter, but the doctor who knew how many such situations the piidry river man had weathered, summoned him immediately, and Barbara had to wait an hour before .Toe came back down stairs. r?y the lnpels of his coat she chine: to him then. "lie's mighty sick." reluctantly Joe. too. told the truth. "The doctor said that it was worse than he expected." she droned. "They sent me awny. but If ho isn't goln? to live I won't let them keep me from him:" Joe's sympathy was unspoiled by pro fessionalism. "Sick is one thins" his ennthloneo was almost eorivlncinc 'and dyin is another.. And Shrieks! I ain't po'in to let r.o honk taught medico worry me yet! Men pet well because they are bound to pet well, or they die !o cause it's their time to die and he's pot tio much to live for now!" Her hopeless face made deception im possible, but Joe comforted her. just t!:e same. He persuaded l;er to eat with him. ar.d when he found that hia conversation made the walt'az easier for her. he waxed quite prrt-I:n:s. "Why, he's been hurt aimo,-t as bac! as this, once before." he rambled on. "but he's still alive, ain't he?" The girl's eyes livened at that. "Once. -down on the Island, he mi.xed m an affair in vhicn inost men wouici ;iot have meddled. And he got it from .liviiiiid tLat tiiiie,.t0O-, jinlyvit yvas with a knife.". ' : . - . "lie never told me," murmured the girl. . "It ain't likely he would," the other stated with Duality. "It was over a woman, and not a particularly pretty story, .any way you look at it."' Her dark eyes widened. She bit her lip. It came to her how little of his life idie had shared. "Oh!" she barely breathed. And aca'm. falferinirly. 'Oh!' rrom that haltinir monosyllable .!- judged that something was amiss. Ob servation had never been a ilow or painful process of concentration with him. "He didn't even know who she was. He'd never seen her before," quickly he rut her right. "She was just a pub lic danger, that was all. But a man mistreated her. and Sieve, he just in terfered" Indeed, Joe had found the way to comfort her and still tell the truth, evtn though he found it foolishly difii cuit to swallow food and watch at the same time the warmth which his words kindled. So for an hour he lin gered at t:ibie and told her many thiuus concerning the man she loved which she would never have learned from his own lips. And it was Joe's jocularity which in the end subdued her rebel spirit. She yielded at last and prom ised to go home and rest, but only after he had promised iirst, ia a fashion which could leave no doubt in her heart, that he would come for her if things grew worse. Before she left him that morning she told Joe of Big Louie, whom .she bad had to lenve in the road, but he inter rupted livr before she could finish. They Lad already found Big Louie. Then she gave him the note which tbe had discovered crushed under Steve's body. Thin Joe scanned ferociously: ho An bleached blue eves. "Some one traced your name," he put into words the first thought that Lad been hers. "Some one who had your signature to copy." She nodded, whitely, in horror. JoC folded the paper r.nd tucked it into a pocket. "We can touch nobody," he averred regretfully, "unless we catch Ilarri gan." Caleb himself took Barbara home, and on the way across the law u she giggled suddenly at the funny way in which the distance seemed to increase and then lessen between her eyes cad her feet. The grouud persisted in ris ing to meet her, she said, until she had to. cling to Caleb's arm. And the outer steps proved difficult to negotiate. But at the sight of her father sunk in bi lence upon his desk in the ground floor "office" she drew her hand from the crook of Caleb's arm and went swiftly across to him. "Barbara," he besought her broken ly the moment her cheek touched his, "you mustn't believe that 1" She hushed hini with gentle tfllgcra laid upon his liis. I have been a very foolish and hys- terical child," she said. "I'll try to be- She had to laugh again at the behav ior of her feet as she climbed upstairs, but her bearl seemed steady enough. It was only after she had reached her own room that she complained queru lously of the failing lights. Miriam had to help Ceciie undress and put her to bod. On the floor below her father had turned again to his desk, his head bowed under his arms. And total breakdown was imminent for Dexter Allison when a hand touched awk wardly his shoulder. He looked up heavily to meet this time the eyes of Caleb Hunter. Caleb stuttered furi ously pt first, for sentimentality shamed him. Then a happy thought showed the way. "Dexter, I secured a few sprigs of very superior mint yesterday." He made of it a ceremonial. "Do you thiuk you would care to join me, sir?" They had been friends for close to forty years not because of common tastes, but in spite of innate dissimi larity. Dexter came to his feet. He reached out and crushed the other man's hand within his soft, white lin gers. Nor was his reply quite accord ing to formula. "I don't mind if I do. Cal," he ac cepted fervidly. "Thank God. I don't mind if I do!" Arm in arm they recrossed to the white columned house. And they kept close, each to the other, throughout the hours of suspense that followed, tend ing a potent though unconfessed reas surance in such companionship. Delirium crane again upon the sick mat! who lay in the room which Miss Sarah had always kept waiting for him. Fever strode upon him. while the girl who had brought him home slept in complete exhaustion. At times Steve lay quiescent, only muttering fit fully; the next moment he called crisply for I'at Joe he feared for his bridge Jtnd .7 had to exert every iron muscle to hold him down. And always he spoke Barbara's name. with a poignant gentleness that left Miss Sarah on the verge of collapse. But he continued to live, through that day and the next night, even when the doctor shook his hea l and Fat Joe rose to go for the girl. a he had promised he would, in the last extremity. lie continued to live, and with the coming of the second dawn suddenly he was no longer de lirious. Stephen O'Mara opened his eyes and gazed feebly but very uirler standingly into the eyes of Fat Joe, who wv.s watching at that moment. Joe trice1 to hush him. but he would talk a little. "I know." he pronounced each word with calculated effort. "I have been very sick, and T must not waste my sncugtn. But I have to be clear, first, on cn point. Have I dreamed it, Joe, or or iid she tiring me home?" With his voice alone, when all else seemed failing. Joe had kept his friend alive. The doctor believed it; Misa Sarah knew it to be so. And first of all Joe had to voice his thankfulness, for it was an explosive thing. "Didn't I tell her so?" he demanded in his whining tenor. "Didn't I say so, all along? And I let that doctor worry me, just because he's got a diploma in a frame, hanging on his Avail!" Then he answered Steve's question. "She found you," he said. "She brought you home." A long time the sick man lay and pondered. And finally he found it pos sible to smile. "I have not cared whether I lived or died," he said in little more than a whisper. "All along I have seemed to know how near I was to going across, and I have been nenr to quit ting at times. For I was happier than I'd ever dared let myself be, before and then, with the first shot that dropped Big Louie. 1 knew" He shook his head, still smiling vaguely. "I Lave not wanted to live, but I am looking at things more like a man now. You need not worry any longer, Joe. I'll sleep a little while, I think, and then I'll put my mind hard on get ting well, when I awake." That marked the end of delirium, and with sleep which came almost while he wr.s tafklng the fever began to abate. He "put his mind on get ting well," when he awoke twelve hours later. Strength was flowing In a steady tide back into his body long before Barbara's knees would again bear her weight. For she had squan dered her endurance without counting the cost, and she paid the full penalty. She lay three days and three nights railing at her weakness before she could get up at all, and even then Ceciie. her little maid, . clucked dis creetly at the dark circles beneath her eyes. Joe was several days absent on that errand which had all but emptied the seething town of men. He returned the same day Barbara was about again, forced to admit that Harrigan and Fallon and Shayne had won clear. And there was nothing left to the dis gruntled groups which straggled in be hind him, save tall and heated con jecture. Some said that they must Lave managed to cross the border, oth ers maintained that they had found sanctuary in the lumber camps of the lake country to the west, but no mat ter which guess was right the net re sult stood unchanged. For it 13 upon the one who runs away that the blame is always laid, and Archibald Wicker sham knew fully as well as did Caleb and Allison and Fat Joe that, without Harrigan, they eould not hope to touch him. Harrigan had disapepared from the ken of men. and Wickersham de layed only until his departure .could no longer be construed as flightX"I!hen one evening modestly he boarded a train. After she had rested Barbara proved almost humbly amenable to reason, until it was best for her to go to him she would wait as patiently as she was able. Miss Saraii ordered a week of un broken quiet and rest for"G?- - .. - j ami Steve, and not Barbara, i.toVed th " UlUiV.ull v.w " c: - 9 Ua riod. For with returning st.reugtll there came to him recollection or many things which required his attentio He fretted Over his work; he swoie humorously at Fat Joe. who. comingto make daily reports as soon as Miss Sarah realized that the good in such visits far exceeded the benefits of sleep and solitude, assured his chief that they had accomplished much, unham pered as they were by carping author ity. ' But he lay and brooded, no humor in lis eye, when he was left alone. Fat Toq had assured him that she had brought him home, but Fat Joe, who was : ever averse to anti-climax, had told him no more than that. His ef forts at entertainment were only the more spontaneous those days because of the soberness of his friend's face. And then the same day that Joe raised him against the pillows so that he might watch a string of flat cars, high filed with logs, roll into the yards, they let her go to him. Steve was listening to the shrill sa lute of the whistle which l e knew was McLean's pean of victory; he was smil ing a little wistfully over the memory which, with McLean, always recurred to him, when he turned and saw her standing on the threshold. She had come on diffideut. mouselike feet. She was watching him. And before be be lieved it really was she. Barbara fal tered his name. Steve!" It was only a wisp of a sound an aching, throbbing bit of tenderness lighter even than the breath that bore it. "Steve!" she breathed again. But thereupon, with a headlong little rush that scartered spools of bandages and rolls of lint and set the bottles upon his table jingling dangerously, she flew to him and came, somehow. into his arms. They had not told him at first he could not speak. Dumbly he sat, his face bowed upon that brown head ril lowed in his arms. . She had told her self that she was a woman now yet her first words were all girl. "Tell me Just once that I'm pretty, she quavered. "Say that I am still half boy to you!" His tongue unsteadled with joy, he told her again, as he had told her on that other day, and. watching the old. old wonder of her grow in his eyes, she listened as though she were taking the words, one by one, from his lips. But there was nothing boyish in the crook ed little arch of her mouth nothing boyish in the depths of her dark and brimming eyes. She remembered his wincing shoulder tken Her Arma crept higher about his neck. And now her face was uplifted, and there was no more need for words. Afterward when they spoke of Big Louie she loved him more for the sor row which he did not try to hide. From Fat Joe he had already learned of Big Lome's last dereliction. Out of a deeper silence Steve spoke gravely an epitaph for the man to whom he had been unfailingly kind. "Most any kind of a failure can live." he said, "but it takes a man to smiie and die."

LAW MAKERS IN FOR BUSY m R'ess Convenes for Short Term Uh th Calendar Crowded With General Legislation. Washington, rw . n , , uec 4. Congress i e- i. a three-months' session, with a calendar overcrowded with general legislation, facing rail road reforms and the high cost of living as new issues, and confronted with unprecedented estimates aggre. gating $1,654,819,654 to meet expendi tures of the government for the fiscal year 1918. Both houes adjourned early as a mark of respect to the late Senator Clarke of Arkansas and Resident Commissioner Rivera of Porto Rico, both of whom died since the Septem ber adjournment. Tomorrow there will be. a joint session in the hall of the house to hear the address of President Wilson which will contain recommendations for legislation sought by the admin istration before the sixty-fourth con gress dies March 4 next. That rail road legislation to supplement the Adamson act will be urged by the president as the most important prob lem is greatly expected. Will Hurry Things. Leaders of both houses will en deavor to expedite their work and frequent conferences to plan a pro gram will be held as soon as the pres ident indicates his desires. Besides railroad legislation there is strong public demand for some legislative activity to curb the soaring prices of food. And, in audition to appropria tion measures which always take time and must be passed, there are other issues. The senate has the im migration bill, the corrupt practice bill further to limit campaign contri butions and expenditures, the Webb bill to grant authority to domestic corporations for maintenance of col lective foreign selling agencies, con servation and other measures. An investigation into expenditure of the recent national campaign is proposed and Senator Owen of Ok lahoma will introduce a joint resolu tion asking that inquiry.be instituted at once. No Holiday Vacations. Hasty conferences of house leaders today indicated that a "speed up"' pro gram advocated by Speaker Clark will be adopted with only slight changes. Majority Leader Kitchin joined with the speaker in declaring that the usual long. Christmas holiday should be dispen?ed with and an ear lier meeting than noon, probably ?0 o'clock, set. No actice opposition to the early meeting hour has appeared but there is some discussion over the proposed abolition of the Christmas holidays. A compromise holiday of one week, beginning the Saturday be fore Christmas has been suggested. Although food embargo proposals are certain to create much discussion, few leaders are inclined to believe that any of them will be enacted into laws Representative Kitchin thinks, too, that investigation of the high cost of living will be left to the executive de partment. Home for Adamson. It is regarded as doubtful that any of the president's railway legislation program will reach the floor before Christmas. Representative Adamson, chairman of the Interstate Commerce committee, who will pilot the meas ures, said tonight that he would spend the Christmas holidays at home regardless of any adjournment agree ment. Representative Raker will urge an early report on his universal suffrage measure, now held in the judiciary committee. The suffragists did not appear at the capitol today to make a demonstration as had been ex pected. Miik in Winter. Why do your cows give less milk in winter than they do in summer? Just because nature does not sup ply them with grasses and green food. But we have come to the as sistance of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas' Stock Remedy which con tains the very ingredients that the green feed supplies in season, only, of course, in a more highly concen trated form. We guarantee that this remedy will make your cows give more milk, and better milk with the same feed. II. M. Soennichsen. Tuls & Gansemer.
