"' Its rough logs, weather-blackened elilngles, and rustic porches merged into the brown green o encircling rock and shrub and fir tree. A 'sketchy uneven road ended abruptly at the front ateps. Ten days before It bad stood, desolate In Us abandonment. ' Then .'jt had been metamorphosed and -j-evltalized by a magic wand, wared ;liy Leon Morse. Its exterior was ;tlll In perfect harmony with Its jvlld and rugged surroundings but -Its Interior was stamped with the ynarlc'ot luxury. After a pause, he thought of Mist Wllmot. "Shall I Inquire now, slrt" ' ' ' ' ' . ' "Do so," he commanded. "A party by the name of Monte Crlelo." Morse smiled. That was bis own Idea exactly, ouly he hadn't given It the literary flavor. There were ,two " things Leon Morso wanted now as he had never wanted anything In his life. The first was Anne Wllmot. The second-was a line ot track . between Kansas City and the great north west which would shorten the pres ent schedule by 12 hours. The former was to be had, doubtless, but not yet on his own terms. The latter had presented unfor- seen difficulties an upstart Irriga tion company with a tlfle to the right-of-way which was the key to his projected line of track a pig headed young engineer In charge who refused to be tricked, bulldozed or Intimidated. Well, there were several cards he had yet to play before he would take the Irrigation' company seri ouslyDouglas, for one. Douglas was his attorney and confidential aid whom ho had sent to Sacra mento to obtain an understanding with an underpaid legislature. Douglas should be here now, he thought as he casually picked up 0, HENRY LISTING H rtl r OiHon short Mory writers fared Onee Pickett of Washington Is veiling. , with friends In .

He pressed an electric button and a pretty French maid responded. The bundles of flowers be placed . In her arms. "Delphlne, these are for Miss W 1 1 mot's rooms," ha ex-.-. plained. t "Mon dleu." she breathed, "what :. am I to do with him? Mad'molselle s y rooms, they are already how do - you say like one house on fire" "You mean hot house no doubt," Jarvls corrected. Jarvls was starting to sort the mall, when the door at the end of tha room opened and Morse en-- tared. . ' ' j Jarrfs bowed profoundly and earned a curt "good morning" from his master. v - "Mr. Douglas hasn't come back I yet?" ha asked as ha glanced down -: the road through the ehlnti cur ';" talned window.

With bis hand he took In, In on sweep, the ( beautiful, spacioua room with Its -.- multiplicity of windows, great flf" v place.

I says "Did you ever hear .- tell of a party by the name ot Monte CrlstoT Well, that's the way Mr. Morso Is used to having things J doue for him.'" Morse smiled sUghlly otherwise ; Ignoring the tribute. "The servants are all here. I suppose?1 ? "Yea, air. I brought them out myself, day before yesterday." I TINKHAM TO SUCCEED " I WARRACK IN SERVICE ., i . (T . the pile ot letters on the reading table. He smiled as he noticed the lettera to Mrs. Emily Wllmot from New York's most famous and ex pensive dressmakers, milliners, caterers, florists and Jewelers. Anne would come high but he was rich. He pushed away the letters and stood drumming his closed knuckles against the table. His long lean perfectly groomed body bent slight ly above It, His hair was prema turely gray. . Overwork and dissipation had sapped the first vigor ot youth but there was a certain toughness of fibre about him, a dynamic energy and power which balanced, In con siderable measure, the lightness of build, It was In the set ot his shoulders, the line ot his long clean- cut bead,. In hla every movement, as If his muscles operated on steel springs. 'Well?" be queried as Jarvls re appeared. 'Miss Wllmot went out early this morning, sir alone. She has not yet returned." 'Early , this morning alone?" Morse repeated, reflectively. As be apoke Mrs. Wllmot came downstairs with her usual aristo cratic lelsurellncss. She waa the picture of a plump, white-haired, grandmotherly old patrician. Her soft and rather full mouth hardened aa she took In the significance of Morse's phrase. "You say Anne has gone out alone aftsr yon ex pressly asked her not to?" Morse nodded. At a slight sign ot dismissal, Jarvls vanished. Morso drew up a chair for Mis. Wllmot and after an exchango of pleasantries, sat down near her. "1 want to speak very seriously with you," ho began. "I want you to try to impress nnon your niece that It Is dangerous for her to gu to tho mountains nlone. The coun try Is overrun with the Irrigation company's workmen and our own a lot ot low class trash." He broke off abruptly as the dmn opened and Douglas entered. The two men faced each othei tor a moment In silence, then Morse made a slight Inquiring movement. The attorney, a stocky shrewd-eyed man ot considerably less than hla employer's height, shook his head. The other frnwitt-) and sl.tneil to his study nt the end of the roam.
