"A man with a partiality for crimi nal work would naturally look to tho aaodern Babylon. Steele apparently works more to gratify that predilec tion than for any reward In pounds and pence.

Some limes at her side, again Just behind, galloped tho horse bearing John Steele, and as they went at a fair pace, pre ceded and followed by others of a gay yarty, the eyes of many passersby terned to regard them. "By Jove, they're stunning! It Isn't aften you see a man put up like that" "Or a girl more the picture of Iwalthl" And beauty!" "Unconscious of these and other com ents from the usual curious contin gent of Idlers filling the benches or trolling along the paths, the girl now et a yet swifter gait, glancing quickly erer her shoulder at her companion. ""Do you like a hard gallop? Shall we let them outr His brightening gaze answered. They touched their horses and for some distance raced madly on, passed those In front and left them far be hind.

As abruptly as she bad pressed her horse to that Inspiring speed she drew him in to a walk. "Wasn't that worth coming to the Bark for?" she said gayly. "Moro than worth it" "You see what you missed in tho past." she observed In a tone slightly nocking. "You were not here to suggest It" he returned quietly, with gaze only for hi ae eyes.

A spark shone now In the man's steady look. The girl seemed ot afraid of It. "I am fortuuuto," Hbo laughed "a compliment from Mr, John Steele!" Ho started as If to speak, but his an swer remained unuttered. Tho man's Jlps closed tighter, , He offered no comment The horses moved on. Suddenly sho looked at him. "Do you know," she laughingly re marked, "you are not very interest-toT 1 soon stood still, the bagpipes passed on, and Steele looked up at the girl. "Few riders could have kept their seats so well," ho answered, with ill concealed admiration. "I have always been accustomed to horses. In Australia we ride a great deal." "For the Instant" his face slightly paler, "I thought something would happen." (To Be Continued) ANY WOMAN CAN HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR Many women do not realize tho at tractions they possess becauso they do not givo proper attention to the hair. The women of Paris nro famed for their beauty, not because their fa cial features aro suporior to those of other women, but because they know how to keep young by supply ing vigor, luster and strength to the hair. Three jcnrs ago Parisian Sage could hardly bo obtained in Amer ica. But now this delightful hair tonic and drossing can bo had in every town in America. Charles Strang sells it for 50 cents a large bottle, and ho guarantees it to grow beautiful, luxuriant hair; to turn dull, lifeless hair into lustrous hair; to stop falling hair; to stop itching of tho scalp. Ask for Parisian Sago. " Land for Sale i I havo a few choice tracts of good orchard laud for sale. Tracts from twenty (20) to ono hundred and sixty (160) acres.
