Kathleen hurried over to the od josite side of the ward She reached foi the wall with a iteady in hand. The head on the flat pil low waa white and It wai a large head. "Balmir Clear blue eyes looked up at her. tried to tell her what his lips were too weak to m. She bent to kiss them, to warm the chill of the blue line with her own warm red lips. "Balmy, you saved them alL Every one of them." His lips moved She leaned close. "Donald.' he whispered. "Did . they ... find ... the .. . lad?" Kathleen's voice was blithe and reassuring. "Oh yes." she answered readily, "he came In right after you." She broke off as Norman waved to her from the doorway. "They're calling me Balmy. Til be right back." Not until she was half way across the ward die" she realize Balmy hadn't been referring to that first night of the lire. Norman grabbed her arm and hurried her through the doorway, then thrust hat and slicker at her "They've found him," he told her. "we've got to get down to him." "What happened?" Kathleen felt the cry was torn from her. Her sudden descent from 1oy to de spair was not more abrupt than the down shoot of the skip they entered. "MacDonald stopes are lust the opposite from the Gregorys. We work down from a level instead of uo. The men lav along the steDS. The rescuers handed them up to the tunnel which had come out near the top. Tough business that lifting those Inert forms and push ing them ir for the fellows on the otner siae to pun tnrougn. Leave it to Donald to take the work on the lowest level. The last man out. the rescue men started leaving. They didn't realize Donald wasn't with thim until they were outside checking up. "Is ha . . . did they find him ail right?" Norman barked the answer as the skip touched bottom. "If he'd been all right he'd have made his own way through. They had to make a sling to lift him ... oh damn it all. if he hadn't been so all in before he started that work He wouldn'1 eat he couldn't sleep. He had worries enough with the mine without breaking his heart over you. I don't see why in the devil you two can't get along." Kathleen was biting her lips to keep back her cry of remorse. She could have eased him over that period of waiting. She could have forced him to rest and take nour ishment Norman grabbed her and pulled her back against the tunnel wall Men were moving slowly forward. heavy burden carried between them. The burden was Donald MacDonald. To their plea, the one who had directed this last rescue shook his head. "Can't tell. He must have dropped from the tunnel to the bottom of the stops. Don't know whether he's unconscious from the fall or a dose of foul air." That scene would stay with Kathleen forever. It had a gro tesque quality The rescue crew in their padded suits and queer masks, the weird lights giving them an inhuman appearance. The dark tunnel stretching back, it seemed, to eternity. It was all part of a nightmare. Kathleen caught one glimpse of Donald as he was carried into the skip. With Norman she followed to the next level and found It another chapter ol the nightmare. The emergency ward was a vellow pool in a world of stvgian darkness: the white clad attendants, ghostly figures from another world. Uliss SpHTer "pUERNEY," shouted the floc tor, "get him to the surface Clear the emergency room. Ruth. Helen, with mel" Kathleen had always marveled at the speed of the skip, now she fretted as one carried her up in the wake of the guerney. The door to the emergency ward was closed when she reached there. It opened once to le; Mrs MacDonald in Norman said thev had heard she was living up. "You'll call me the moment . . .?" Kathleen couldn't complete the que.ttlon. Norman nodded. Kathleen stayed awav from Balmy, knowing he would sense the cause of her worry It seemed hours before she taw the nurse standing at the door beckoning to her. The girl looked puzzled. "Have vou ev?r harr! Mr Mac Donald sneak of a Miss Spiffer?" Kathleen shook her head. "No." E BY ACCIDENT SHOT TULB LAKE, CM., Nov.

You've beer, in a hole but be lieve me. brother, when vou get out of here, you're going to find yourself in a worse one" Doctor and nurses were racing towards her. "Stop that" they called. "You've antagonized him enough . get outl" And then they stopped. The blue lips of Donald MacDonald had curved into a satisfied smile. "That's nw spit-fire. That's my Cleo." His hand moved slightly. Kathleen took it warmed it be tween hers. "Sleepy." he mur mured. ,"It was the only way he'd be lieve." she tried to explain. De jectedly she added. "I guess I've never before spoken to him de cently." Sense Of Foreboding THE hand Kathleen held relaxed. Cleveland bent close, moments passed then the doctor straight ened. "Better," he announced. "Respiration more normal. Isn't fighting anymore. Satisfied that neaa injurs mere concussion: rrac ture reacts differently. Now to clear his system of the gas" Mrs. MacDonald sat on the op posite side of the bed. Doctor Cleveland advised them to talk. "He'll be aware of normal voices. It will free him of the fear of being entombed Call me if he wakens. "I've iust arrived " Donald'a mother said "Tell me about every thing, oh not the mine, but vou two. Have you been quarreling?" "Have we ever done anything else when we. were within speak ing distance?" asked Kathleen, hopelessly "Oh 1 don't know what will become of us." "You think yout differences1 can't be solved by reason?" "Not by reason. We seem to have different perspectives. I can't un derstand Donald's loving his own people so sincerely and humanely without a little of that love spilling over the line to the Gregorys." Mrs. MacDonald smiled. "Per haps I shouldn't tell you this, but if Donald doesn't I must. His love has spilled over the line That is why he wouldn't release the right-of-way. A long as the Gregorys owned The Golden Girl he was unable to help the Gregory min- ftrx. Ha hnf. hnnprl tn hnv In thm Gregory stock, buy in the mine wmcn would be useless to the Gregorys without the right-of- way, and men to operate It sepa rately. All of this would have been done by oroxy until he had won over the Gregon miners and taught them to believe in a Mac Donald." They talked a little longer then Doctor Cleveland sent them home. "He'll be all right. He'll send for you when he's ready " For the first time, since she had fled from It nearly three days be fore. Kathleen returned to the Gregory house. fcven arter she had stepped rrom the MacDonald car at the foot of the veranda, she sensed a change. It was quiet the blinds were drawn, the door barred. Filled with a queer sense of fore boding she hurried ur the steps. Kit-Smvth arose from a far end of the porch and came forward. his very manner indicating a pleased sense of his own impor tance. "Mr. flrpffnrv nrrlorprl thi hmisft closed." ho snid in greeting. "Your bags are In my car. I ll drive vou to Carstod, you're to take the next train east. Kathleen looked at him a mo ment. "You have that order in writing?" she inquired evenly. "Right here." he tapped a paper. "I'd like to see it." Unfolding the letter which had arrived by special messenger she read one paragraph in particular. f corulder tht damaqt tht has dont, Irreparable At reasoning with her ti impossible, clots the house, pack net into tht ear and tend her back before the can do further harm. t thall use her uilllhil opening of mi property at a MocDonnld act and pro ceed to brtno mit again! the Afac Donaldt on that around unlett tht rlohf-of-u'au Is forthcoming.
