The girls exchanged glances and hurried upstairs. They had brought formals for such an emergency. Kathleen dressed with sense of teiumph. For once she could ap pear before Donald MacDonald as herself. With the cloudy weather the freckles were disappearing, her hair was growing long, a damp comb and Bridget's deft fingers had laid a smooth wave in the burnished depths. Mrs. MacDonald, looking up as Kathleen entered, caught her breath and discreetly lowered her eyes. That simple gown of gold cloth might deceive the eyes of a man as to its cost, but not those of a woman who knew and purchased nothing but exclusive models. She glanced at her son. He was taring at Kathleen as though he'd never really seen her before. "I'm a romantic old fool," thought his mother. Kathleen was also watching Mrs. MacDonald's son, and what she saw pleased her. He strode to wards her both arms outstretched, caught her hands in his and smiled down at her. "Faith, ye fair blind my eyes," he said softly. But Donald claimed the first dance with Bridget Mayme's "boy friend" took Kathleen for the sec ond.

Ruined Evening PVENTUALLY she found herself - in Donald's arms strong, lure arms that guided her deftlv about the crowded floor Foi a little while she could forget his being a Mac Donald. give herself up to the sen suous music the exquisite rapture of melodv and rhvthm. "I've always considered the phrase, you dance divinely,' a cliche invented lor gigolos." mur mured Young MacDonald. Kathleen leaned back to look up Into the dark blue disturbing eyes. "And now?" she asked, expec tantly. MacDonald looked away abrupt ly. "And now. since dancing with Bridget. I know it's been under estimated." "It does make a difference with whom ones dancing, doesn't It?" she queried sweetly and came down on his fool with a vicious tomp 'f her spike heel. The evening was ruined for both of them. Donald nursed a bruised instep and Kathleen bruise she couldn't locate. It wasn't oride it went deeper than that. That might, the formal gown, a discarded mass lefl on the floor. he crept into bed determined to return to New York with her father. She honed he'd gain the necessary proof of claim priorltv from Balmy and close down those damned MacDonalds' source of Income. U. S. KEEPING EYE WASHINGTON, Nov. Ifl.

It would be ike pressing on an ulcerated tooth, a form of self martyrdom but then she felt like a martyr. Bridget watched her anxiously the next morning. She was march ing about the house, her hand clasped behind her. The Irish girl was relieved they were going to Balmy's, the old fellow had soothing effect upon this red head. Balmy's table was set for five when the girls entered shaking the snow from their shoulder. The other two guests entered immediately after, Angus and Beatrice Gregory. Balmy watched for a moment "We've met before," Angus told him. "Kit-Smyth had the young ladies prepare the house for us the day they came. They did an excellent job." Talk was general until after tea was over, then Mr. Gregory cleared hi throat and said: "About those letters my father wrote you. You don't mind me looking at them?" Beatrice explained to the girl. "My father and Mr. Campbell were boyhood friends. They cor responded after my father came to this country. I dare say the letters Mr. Campbell has kept are most interesting. The would reveal the early life here." Kathleen's eyes widened. So. her grandfather had written of the strike, the filing of the claim, and probably of the feud. Those old letters, bearing the stamp of the pony express, would be documen tary proof. She looked at Balmy anxiously. "I hae willed the letters and trophies to your daughter. Master Gregory. At my death they go to her, not before. But if you wish to hear " "I want to see," intercepted Angus gruffly. "A look at the cots is what you should take, sir," countered Balmy, and somehow the talk was skillfully turned to needed repairs. How About Murder?' COON after dusk the four guests found themselves on the trail towards the Gregory house. "The most ungrateful, stubborn man I ever encountered." Greeorv snapped, his anger at Bridget for gotten in his anger at Old Balmy. T 1 ...L 1 .1 .. cAuiauieu wmu mose tellers would mean to us and do you know what he told me?"

Cant vou have him sub poenaed into court?" inquired Bridget. Bah!" snorted Angus. "His word without the letters would mean nothing And I'm afraid if I start anything he'll destroy them. "Kathleen, he wheeled on his daughter "you say you love these vjieKuiy miners. ii rigni. prove it. He's lefl the letters to vou. I think he knows who vou are. It's up to you to get them away from him; steal them if necessary, they're going to be yours." Kathleen stonned. snow whirl ing about her. face whltp In the dusk. "Is there anything else you wouia nave me do for that damned rieht-of-wav?" she in quired. "How about murder, that's something you left out." "Do you realize vou are talking to your father, young woman?" demanded Beatrice Kathleen realized It and the realization made her feel ill Angus turned to her. "Daughter. you don't understand You can't understand how much depends upon this It isn't iust us; iust the Gregorys and ths Orcgorv miners but our stockholders: everithinoJ ftatnieen walled a moment.
