The big hall clock struck the half hour after 11. Some one—a wo man—was laughing in the billiard room below. The click o f the balls came to her ears like the snapping of angry teeth. She did not hesitate. It was not In her nature. The room in which she had found so much delight was now loathsome to her. With nervous fingers she threw the small things she most cherished into a bag—her purse, her Jewels, her little treasures.

Penelope wns making her way through the blackest of nights toward the home o f Randolph Shaw. In deciding upon this step, aft er long deliberaUon, she had said to herself: "Randolph Shaw is the only real man I’ ve seen since coming to the mountains. 1 can trust him to help me tonight.” It was fulli- three miles to Shaw's place, most of the way over the uar- row valley road. She knew she would encounter but few tortuous places. The last half mile, however, was steep, rugged und unfamiliar to her. She had ventured no nearer to his home than Ren wood's deserted cottage, lying above and to the south o f the road, al most at the base of the long hill on whose side Shaw had built his big home. To climb that hill was no easy task in daylight; at midnight, with the stars obscured by clouds and treetops, | there was something perilously uncer j tain in the prospect. Only the knowledge that patience and courage eventually would bring her to the end made the Journey pos sible. Tim e would lead her to the haven; care would make the road a friend; a stout heart was her best ally. Strength o f limb and strength of pur pose she had. in use and in reserve. No power could have made her turn back willingly. Her anxious eyes were set ahead In the blackness. Her runaway feet were eager in obedience to her will. A grip and blanket roll belong ing to J. H. Schultz, who com mitted suicide at Cornelius about three weeks ago. have been found in the Oregon Electric depot in this city.
