Then, seeing that Allen’s eyes were still full of hor ror: “What is up, Mr. Fauntleroy? Has murder been done?” “No. Only plotted, and I am come to you for help in thwarting the assassins, ’ ’ Allen said very low. “Who are they?’.’ asked Vance. Allen answered in a whisper. For an hour the three men talked ea gerly together, arguing, suggesting, plan ning. When the young fellow at last went away, Hildreth said, drawing a deep breath: “Here’s a pretty go! Planning riot, sedition and murder in the face of day light. I always knew Hawkins wasn’t the clear grit, but hang me if I thought in iniquity. ” “He is really a monomaniac,” Vance said, lighting a cigar. “He has been money crazy ever since he first sat at a desk in the other Allen Fauntleroy’s of fice. What surprises me, though, is that those poor hill folk listen to him when he tells them that Major Overton is their enemy, the only thing that stands be twixt them and the work that means prosperity.” “You forget. Hawkins has truth on his side, a mighty good ally even for a rascal such as he, ” Mr. Hildreth said, taking a revolver out of his desk_and running his fingers along the barrel. Holding it muzzle down, he went on: “I wonder if—no, it can’t be! Melissa Townley can’t know all his scheme. Anyway we will manage to spoil his little game for him, but if we let the major get wind of it first”----- ’ “There’d be the devil to pay and no pitch hot,” Vance supplemented, with his hand on the knob. Hildreth nodded an emphatic assent. “Poor old major! We must save him, even in spite of himself. ” CHAPTER XVIIL When Dare had been 10 days at Ex eter, it seemed to her that years lay be twixt her and the old colorless life. The day but one after Jubilee’s warning she had found a line, likewise ambushed in field flowers, upon her dressing table, Which said: “Keep a stout heart. There is no dan ger yet that the old tree will be cut down.” There was neither date nor signature, but none was needed to tell her whence it came. Intuitively she knew that her message had gone straight to • Allen Fauntleroy, and this was his answer. Trusting in him, her heart was at rest. She could let herself be amused with what went on about her; could laugh in girlish ffirrtn'ovem^Holtham’s -droll stories; listen unWeariedly to all her aunt could tell her of dead and gone Dares, who once had ruffled it with the best; freeze Hawkhss utterly upon the rare occasions when he ventured to ad dress her-—above everything, sun her vanity in the light of Royal Cleve’s eyes. Though all untaught, she was wise enough, woman enough, to know that she attracted him as perhaps no other had ever done. No day shone but brought him to Exeter. Often indeed midnight struck ere he took himself away. In spite of all, though, his wooing made scant headway. Often upon the home’- ward way Mr. Cleve swore roundly at himself as both fool and coward thus to falter .and stand abashed before this girl, who had no arts of fence save those of ■ nature’s providing. ■It was ridiculous, worse, he told him self, that he, who had made love half the world over, who had been cotirted and caressed by dark women and fair, for whom more than one beauty had dim med her sweet eyes, should find himself thus taken aback by this slip of a girl, whose guard of delicate haughtiness he could neither pass over nor break down. A hundred times he had begun to tell his love outright; as many times his speech had been deftly turned aside or passed over as a jest. This must not be, could not, should not endure. Aside from his own head long passion, there was Hawkins in the background, inexorably urging him to fl WAR OF FMINflilON “make hay while the sun shone” and hinting more than darkly the dangers of delay. He must speak out, speak at once, and under such conditions as to make refusal out of the question. Hawkins easily supplied them.

ROBIN IN THE RAIN. Listen to that soaring strain! It is robin in the rain.

What is more, they pay for what they buy with pure gold, and if ever a white man visited them he did not come back to tell about it, nor will the Indians say where they got their stuff. “When you come to think about it, the sportsman nosing about in these out of the way places could get more game and curiosities than he could get out of Blue Mountain park or from any other of the big preserves. “I hope to make just such a trip some time. I’ll take a 45-90, a 10 gauge, a 20 gauge and a target pistol, with stacks of fishing tackle of all kinds and no end of ammunition. The specimens I will gather will pay for the trip, as I shall go along prepared to skin and dry any thing from a tapir to a crocodile, from a condor to a beetle, not to mention snakes and other things.”—New York Sun.
