Love was dead, dead I
Not even u hint of the memory of
love remained in the cold gryy eyes of
the woman descending the steps from
tho ofllcu of the big lawyer, nor lu the
absent brown ones of her husbnnd us
he glanced hastily ut LU watch with a
view to tho quickest possible return (i
business. Something In bis tired face,
however, drew out In her a trace of
the divine maternal tluit exists In
every woman, but especially In tlui.se
who havo a tiny grave to remember,
ns Dorrlee Ordway had.
"You must hare something to cat
before you go back to work, Robert,"
sho told him quickly. "Then- Is a lit
tle rcstnurnnt Just acrosi the tracks
there. It looks clean. We will go
over."
Indifferently he ordered tho whole
soiuq food she suggentcd for him. Tor
l.ersclf slie took only tea and toast
Indigestion had lately added Itself to
her long list of ailments.
Ho spoke abruptly, between mouth,
fuls.
"I suppose Illnck thought It 'wan
queer for us to go together to find
out tho steps necessary for our dl
orce. Strange, I've faced every kind
of business sltuntlon alone, but when
It comes to telling sonta one elso your
fnmlly troubles" ho hesitated almost
boyishly. t
The maternal light again softened
her eyes, then died to u cold gleam.
"It will soon be over," she told him.
"Mr Illnck con fix It up, you sec,
without trouble a simple case of In
compatibility, You will be freo for
your everlasting business business."
"And you for your sanitarium and
baths and eternal complaining," lie re
taliated as ho shoved his chair back
sharply and led the way out.
"Wo ought to hnvo brought tho car
hero with us. You know It make my
side ache to walk," sho complained,
fretfully, as-they started back across
the tracks.
Ills only nnsucr was a gruff
"Humph I" as he walked slightly
ahead. Then a horrllled gasp from
her caused him to turn quickly. She
na stooped and was pulling fran
tically at the heel of her high shoe,
which wa caught In the track. Strug
gllng, twisting, wrenching, she worked,
her terrlfled eyes watching with aw-
nil fascination an object bearing
uown upon them, looming largo like
some ancient monster tho engine of
the through express,
,!n seconds that seemed like hours
ho exerted every Inst atom of bis
strength to releuso her, his mind work
tng lightning quick to llml the eouw
of her captivity. Tho high heel simply
fitted tho railed groove In which It
had slipped. No power on earth could
free her In tho scant tlinl before that
death-dealing monster would bo upon
them. No knife, even If he had one,
could sever quickly enough the lno
Ings of the high boot J No strength
could pull the heel from the strongly
made nolo. The train wa slackening
Its speed now. The engineer had wen
them was trying frantically to slop,
but still tho monster mine, came.
The divinely mtitcnml look again
iranxugured nor ruce.
"Jump I" sho told him. "Oct awayl"
and she tried to push him from her.
He grasped the hand that sought
to send hi in to safety. Her expres
sion changed to ono of perfect trust
and love of tho girlish upjteul that he'
remcmiiered so well In the days of
their courtship.
"Robert I" sho cried, regurdlesi of
tho oncoming engine. Her eyes wers
the eyes of the girl of long ago.
He gathered her closely In hM arms.
Jump for safety mill leuve herl Never I
uorrlcol His wife I The girl of his
lovol The mother of the child who
had left them I What wus business I
What was all the world I What wus
lire Itself, beside a love like this I
The monster was close upon them
now In spite of the swift work of tho
horrified men aboard An Instant
more and all was over. Silence I Even
tbo nolso of the train died uwny as It
came to a full stop.
Hut love, after all, was not dead.

First Traveler on Famous Road.
Tho first white man of wjiom w
hao record traversing (he route of
wimt Is now the National roud was
Christopher Olst, who had been living
neur the North Carolina state line and
who cunie Into Muryluud at the re
quest of the Ohio company to explore
the land toward the west. Ho arrived
at Will's creek In October, 17-M. Will's
creek Is a good-sited stream flowing
Into the Potomac at what Is now Cum
berland. The Indians knew It as
Calcutucue, a najne both dlttlcult to
spell nnd pronounce, which led per
haps to Its early dlscardunce. Upon
this stream in a small cove In a great
mountuln which rises there lived a
friendly and Influential Indian whom
the early traders wiled Will, probably
the nearest English stagger they could
make at this Indian name. So the
stream Calcutuiuie became Will's creek
