AThe Captive Bride CHAPTER XXXVII When Denny returned to the card room she saw, to her consternation, that Bourne waa there, putting hit shotgun back into its rack on the wall. Had he already looked at her sketch and divined her Intent? Her quick glance at his bland face told her nothing. "Hello, Denny V. He pulled his cap off and shoved it into his mack inaw pocket. "No luclr I didn't get - a shot." She made some reply, noting - meanwhile that her map was exactly aa she had left it. She could scarce keep herself from, rushing to the table and snatching it up. But she knew if she did this, and he had al ready seen it, her action would mark the paper as her own. The safest thing was to wait until he left the room to hang up his mackinaw, and then secure it. He waa diabolically alow about go ing. Denny stood nervously watch ing him as he moved about, filling his cigarette case, rearranging Van Cleve's nnopened medical journals in the corner cabinet, doing half a dozen absolutely unnecessary things. It seemed to her. finally be saun tered over to the table and her beart- beata quickened with alarm. Very deliberately he waa reaching " toward her sketch. His fingers hov ered above it. She had a wild im pulse to leap forward and lay hold . of it; then she saw him pick op the pencil that was lying beside it. He drew a notebook from his shirt pocket, made a notation, and meticu lously put the pencil back exactly where he had found iu Denny felt weak in the knees - when he at last went out into the hall and left ber alone. She caught Dp the map and tucked it in the front of her blouse. In the evening after dinner she sat with the others in the living room, "when Bourne remarked, "Shakespeare George didn't show p for Christmas. I've been uneasy : about the old boy ever since he had that stroke last summer. One of as - ought to run over to the TAnsilla to see if he's all right." He came to his 1 feet and, going to the outer door, ' opened the tipper half, and looked v out. "Xght aa day," he announced. . "The moon is bright but the edges sre a bit blurred. That means mora now very soon and bad sledding across the uplands." . . . . i . ' "Riht joa are, " agreed Harper. - fit you want some one to dash over to Shakespeare's, it might be a good Idea to strike out to-night, while the going is good.. Shall I break out the . malemutes and get my duda to getherSkipperr l waa just about to suggest It," - answered ; Bourne, turning back . into the room. "Okay." Harp started for the stairway. "With this crust on the snow, it won't take me more than a day to reach the Tansilla. He had already reached the foot of the stairs when Bourne halted him. "I've just been thinking, Harp, that I haven't had any real exercise for a couple of weeks. A run behind the dogs would be good for me. Hook op the team and bring it to the front gate, and while you're about it, just take the bells off the har ries es." i .- Bourne's decision to make the trip was an unexpected bit of good luck that made Denny'a spirits rise. After he had gone out to get ready, she recalled her study of the map. The Tansilla lay north of Tarnigan, while her route took her soeth in the opposite direction, so that there was im danger of their trails crossing, ne would be absent at least three' days and by that time she would be nearly to Wrangell too far, at any rate, for him to follow and bring her back. At last everything seemed to be playing into her hands. She slipped into fur coat and went out to the front steps with Rio, Van, Honey-jo and Harp to eee him off. She waa aware of as un- reasonable sense of disappointment because he did not draw her aside front the others to say good-by. But, of course, she reminded her self, he had no idea that this was good-by. Then, moved by a feminine desire to make this farewell mem orable, more dramatic than a mere waving of the hand, she walked out to the road where the dog team waited. , , - The string of snalemntes, prkk- Salem Market Quotations (Taa fries saw mM ay a aacaJ pirn er jaeUesUva af tee sail aobi Pries !' y faieas karats, sat era set rexaate4 ay Tse Slates (S7lM CM) Apples, ttj, r ' Baasaaa, la, talk OS ta - kaaas CaaUleepee, cnU 1 ft ta Onpafxait, OaUt, aUakiat. arete US jSS xas a 1-50 SJS l.TS .s t ls .se Date. tree, i a. 6rspes. 4ig Hg Gnpct, alelag - lessees, erase .ase t Urultt, VI us t Peacaea a.

Ik. ared and woltiike, were hitched to a light Yukon sled. They were mak ing throaty noises of affection now aa Bourne went along the line, pat ting each one and making absurd remarks of appreciation. Ha came back to the sled where Denny stood and, after securing his rifle under the lashings, straightened and be gan pullingKn his mittens. She noted his air of competence aa he paused there in the moonlight, tall and slim in his white drill parka, belted by a scarlet Hudson's Bay sash. "He's a good-looking devil in that outfit," she thought, and felt a momentary twinge of re gret because she was about to beat him at his own game and thus ex pose him to the pity of his com munity. She wished new that she had been more gracious in the mat ter of the Christmas presents, the Cosway miniature, the sapphire ring. She might have accepted these gifts and then left them behind her when she went south, instead of acting the way she had. "Keval, might I ride with you to the top of the hill ?" It was not any weakening of her resolve to escape that softened her now and prompted the request, but rather the magna nimity of the assured victor. "Certainly. You wouldnT, by any chance, like to make this trip with me, Denny? There was a half humorous, half-whimsical quirk to his eyebrows, which, oddly enough. seemed to indicate a hope that she might "Oh, no. RevaL Not thia time." - "My bad luck. All right, here we go!" Before she realized what he was about, be had lifted her in his arms as if she were a 'feather weight. For an instant he held her against' his breast, .his lean face close to hers; then he set her down ia the basket sled and tacked her coat about her. He laid hold of the handlebar and called to the little group oa the steps, "So long, folks. Ill be seeing you on New Year, or sooner. Mush, fellers!" The dogs, ripping in Joy ens excitement, lunged forward in their collars and the sled .began to move up the road toward the top of the hilL Tongaas dashed on ahead of the team, moonlight glinting on the metal wheels that adorned his collar. . - - -i---. , At the summit where one road turned north and the other south. Bourne halted the dogs and Denny got out of the sled. "That was splendid!" she said, tossing back her loosened hair. For a few minutes they talked casually as they stood beside the panting malemutes," looking out over the moonlit valley and the village lights below. The , peaceful northern beauty of the scene was, for Denny, heightened by her sense of farewell. There was something of finality in her voice when she turned to Bourne and held out her hand. "Good-by, Captain. And good luck all the way and always." He smiled at her. ""Thanks, Den ny. I know my luck will hold good on this trip. But I'm not going to say good-bjr to you. I u be seeing you again very soon. t "Of course!" She gave a dis sembling little laugh. That word is too solemn for a short parting. hope you find your friend Shake speare quite well. She stood watching on the brink of the hill aa Bourne rode away on the sled runners. Once he turned. snatched off his cap and waved to her. ' - With a sigh of relief she started down the road toward River House. Denny spent the remainder of the evening making every effort to be agreeable to Rio and Van. : Later she went up to her own Utile suite. free to finish her packing; The first thing that caught her eye was "the small, etched gold box containing the ring Bourne had given her. It was in the middle of her dressing table where she could not fail to see it. "How dared he come into my room," she thought indignantly. He must have placed it there when he came vp to get ready for his trip. He had left a note with it which read: "Dear Denny: I had this ring made to fit only one finger. And that finger was made for this ring." ; "Indeed!" she said to herself, as she released the spring for a last look at the circlet of gold and sap- Grad B tarn 4 pet cent snilk.

The stone glinted up at her from its bed of white velvet mock ingly, she thought, like the light in Bourne s eyes when he had told her at the ways that she could not es cape from TarnigaiL "Well, III -i - " auow juu, viuua octuii swujum She wrote two notes to leave De- hind her. One waa to Honey-jo, say- na that she had taken a sudden no tion to visit Polly Wells at Bine Heaven, and had cone down-river early with the trapper Stebbina, who happened to be going that way. The note to ber husband was, sue hoped, cool and dignified. If y dear Captain Bourne: When yon read this it will be apparent that yon were mistaken in assuming that yon could keep me in Tarnigan against my will. Please recall that I predicted this in the beginning, and I warned yon I would fight yon with what ever weapons came to my hand. Yon are also mistaken regard ing the finger to which these rings are adapted. But since I am go ing directly to Paris to secure a divorce, yon will soon be free to correct your latter error in judg ment. Denisx Keith. Into the envelope with thia note she placed the wedding ring that had belonged to Bourne's toother and the new ring he had given her. Aa aha sealed it she thought, "I'd like to see his face when he finds thia under his pillow." Envelope in hand, she tiptoed into her nnlighted bedroom and canoe to a halt before the locked door that led to Bourne's room. But now, for. some reason, even though she knew that be was miles away, ah hesi tated to turn the key. Instead, she stood in the dark, staring at the panda, thinking of the many times she bad lain in her bed after the house was sunk in slumber, watch ing that door. There was never a waking boor of the night when she bad not been acutely conscious of it and of the man who lay asleep on the other side. That her interest had any quality other than antipathy for him, she never admitted. ; She remembered how once she had permitted herself to speculate est what might happen if she should turn the key and leave the door slightly ajar. Had imagined the aperture slowly widening and Rev elry Bourne in his dressing gown, tall and dim in the half-light, smil ing at her with a strange glow in his eyes; coming in to her Here her breath had caught while her whole being contracted with at swift emotion half-fearful, half -exultant something she had never ex perienced . before. It ebbed - away, . leaving her trembling like a star when the northern lights enfold it. Furious with herself, she had leaped from her bed and paced the floor until the cold drove her back to her : warm eovera. She had never again allowed her self to be inundated by a wave of was it antagonism? for the man. Yet now, when she was about to leave him forever; now, when he waa far away on the snow-covered uplands, why was she standing at the threshold of his empty room pal pitating like a fool? a be demanded of herself. With a decisive firming of her lips, she laid bold of the key, turned it, and noiselessly opened the door. She groped toward the bed, reached it, and with quickly beating heart, bent above it. She started to slip the envelope under the pillow, when some trick of the senses swept her back to that first night with him in the grove. Her head swaa and again she waa standing in the circle of his arms; his mouth was warm on hers, draining her of her strength, firing her with ecstasy. . . . She dragged herself back to re ality to find two Denise Keiths war ring in ber. One was demanding, "Let me got Let me got" while the other was trying to hold to that mo ment of surrender when all the rest of the world had vanished in the rapture ef a remembered embrace. " In quick, scornful anger she de nounced herself . And with a hasty, haphazard thrust, ahe ahoved the envelope trader the pillow and tip toed back to her own room.

If-fjMo-leeted stocks stepped over on the qalet rallying side of the mar ket today and retrieved fractions to a point or more of their prev ious sharp losses. News Inspiration for the up ward reversal, on the whole, was lacking. Brokers said public participation waa at a minimum and that the- mild-turn-about was accounted for largely by day-to-day traders who thought the list may have been oversold in the past week or so. It was one of the slowest ses sions of the year. Actual turn over of BiS.HO shares was the smallest for any full day since June 29, and compared with yesterday's abbreviated volume of $84,720. While there were a few strong spots here and there, most ad vances were limited to minor amounts. The Associated Press average was up .2 of a point at C7.6 as against a decline Mon day of .5.
