T. Shatford presented last year. The firing lasted nearly all day, and during the afternoon quite a crowd put in an appearance to watch the finish. Most of the members fell down at the six hundred yards range and on the whole the firing was not nearly up to the standard. This is to be accounted for by the fact that the Association has not yet recieved the free issue of ammunition and the men have had very little practice this year. J. R. Mitchell won the Shatford cup with a score of 87 points and the scores of the following eight being the hightest were seclect- ed for the "Daily Mail" Contest Viz.: 200 500 600 ������foI yds. yds. yds. lotaK J.

These figures are nothing to boast about but considering that some of the members never fired a service rifle before joining the Association it is very gratifing to the promoters to find them doing so well. After the Competitions a vote of thanks was tendered the ladies who kindly provided refreshments. Capt. Duncan on behalf of Mr. Shatford presented Mr. Mitchell with the trophy he had won and congratulated him on his firing. As an independent Range officer was necessary, Capt. Duncan very kindly served in that capacity assisted by Mr. M. Nicholson and Mr. S. Price at the butts.

Penticton. Bridge Will be Built. Mr. Hamilton Lang, of Vernon provincial road superintendent for the District, was in town on Thursday. He carried in his pocket the plans for the new bridge to be built across Okanagan River near the outlet of the Okanagan Lake. Construction, Mr. Lang says, will begin immediately, or as soon as material can be got together. The bridge will be sixteen hundred feet long and will be piled across the low ground between the river and the mountain. It will not be a swing, but one span will be twenty feet high which will enable small steamers to pass underneath. Mr. Lang says also that the Summerland road will be much shortened and the grade improved. The people of Penticton can thank L. W. Shatford, M. P. P., together with the local board of trade and Conservative Association, for their united efforts in behalf of this public work. thon race at Kelowna on May 24th. The competitors, who were five in number, took the course at 10:30 and lined up before the starters, Messrs. Ma- guire and Taylor. There were present as competitors : Gordon Stirling and the two Fullers, of Kelowna; Arthur Beran, of South Okanagan; and T. W. Bell, of Penticton; all good sturdy men, each one looking a winner. The pistol was fired and a cry of "they are off" went among the crowd which lined the course. Gradually the laps were picked off by the lap-scorers, but at No. 16 the eldest Fuller left the course. Bell, of Penticton, was leading and it was decided by the onlookers that he held the race in his hands. Arthur Beran clung close to his adversary, while Gordon Stirling took up the rear. Thirty laps was scored when Beran dropped behind, leaving Stirling and Bell in deadly contest. The easy, pretty stride of both competitors was noticed by the spectators, all being expectant that Bell would pull the event off. Side by side they ran until about four laps from the finish, when Gordon Stirling made a dash forward and got ahead of Bell. As the winning post was neared a cry went up for Stirling, followed soon afterwards by a cheer for Bell as second. The third place was taken by W. Fuller, while A. Beran brought up the rear. Both Stirling and Bell ran an excellent race, great credit being due to both, who stayed the course admirably. Had the course been one mile less possibly Bell would have pulled off the event, as it was the last mile that told. G. Stirling, who had been training since the race was first projected, finished the nine mile course in 60 min. 49 sec. Bell ran in other races during the afternoon but was unable to put his energy into them, therefore did not win for Penticton the desired result. However, the Kelowna boys will have another field day one day, then perhaps it will be Penticton's chance. Those having friends visiting them will confer a favor by acquainting the PRESS with the fact. All other local news thankfully received. financial Statement of Baseball Club-Season 1908.

I who passed around th.3 dair.ty, A Day of Accidents. Two serious accidents occured near Okanagan Falls on Monday, the 24th inst. In the first case, Colon McKinnon, who was engaged in work on the new Myers Flat wagon road, noticed a small bush fire creeping near a supply of blasting powder. He hastened to extingish the fire, but before he could do so the powder exploded filling his left fide, arm and face with shattered rock. No bones were broken, but the left eye was injured, how seriously not yet being ascertained. In the second instance, Luke Nicholson was driving a team with a load of lumber down the hill this side of Okanagan Falls when he was thrown from his seat, falling under the wheels. One of the wheels stripped the flesh from the lower portion of his left leg. Both men were placed in Miss Hancock's Nursing Home at Penticton. Mr. Nicholson had purposed returning to the Old Country in a few days. and bountiful refreshments. A large number of guests assembled to extend greetings. Rev. Jas. Hood preached his farewell sermon to a full church on Sunday evening. Mr. Hood has been the pastor of the Summerland and Penticton Presbyterian congregations for three years, and his incessant labors have won for him the hearts of the entire community. As he has been called by the Summer- land congregation, he will be pastor of that body only, in future. Bamboo shades make the veranda, cool, cosy, and comfortable, get them at STEWARe's.

Who but the editor of the Gazette could stoop to such cowardise? One could as safely make a bosom friend of a rattlesnake as of such as he. We still affirm that the statement signed by Const. Tooth, whether from lapse of memory or otherwise, is incorrect. We ! would suggest that the Gazette ! publish further letters from the Constable and postmasters to prove that they wrote the ones already published. He might also publish one from the judge who sat on the Tooth pre-emption case to prove that the judge hud done an injustice to Mr. Tooth, an 1 a number more from the subscribers to the PRESS in Hedley, one from Mr. L. W. Shatford, one from Mr. Price Ellison, and two from Hon. Richard Mcliride to prove that local option is n. g. He might uld to these, letters from Penticton residents to prove that the ,vord of Const. Tooth is worth ���nore than the oath of the editor if this paper. If those would ,iot be enough, we might consent to write him a few ourselves. The Gazette has not strengthened its case by the introduction )f religion into the discussion, jut as this is always the resort >f the cad, we are not surprised :hat it has gone to that length, it reminds us of the degenerate :ur of the yellow bob tailed variety that picks its subsistence from the back alley garpage heap. Would it not be more consistent if the Gazette editor would rectify the morals of a Hedley church deacon who goes gunning and gough playing on junday, and who as a magistrate lives in a wide open town without an effort to correct the evils that are rampant therein. The Gazette charges that the PR333 is trying to force local option upon the Hedley district. Who ever heard of forcing local I optioi? The terms are contradictory. What does local option mean but that the people of a locality may have the option of deciding the liquor question for their own community by a plebiscite; besides is the Gxzatte ignorant of the fact that the Legislature has not yet passed an actgivi.ig the municipalities or other districts the power to pass I local option by-laws within their borders? That po.ver is j what we are after. Force local; [option on Hedley, bosh! It is I the forca system we want to get rid of. Never mind, though, Major, local option is coming sooner or later irrespective of what either you or the Press j may say about it. When that! time comes, Hedley may decide for itself whether it shall have local option or not, but we would suggest that in future, you con- ffine yourself, in your editorial [comment, to the Daly Reduction All changes in sontract advertisements must be in the hands of the printer by Tuesday evening to ensure publication in the next issue. Billingsgate on the String. We regret that abaence from Penticton last week prevented us from answering a personal attack made by the Hedley Gazette in its issue of the 13th inst. A few weeks ago we intimated that we had merely been leading the editor of the Gazette on t< see how big a fool he woulc make of himself, and now w< must add that our most sanguine expectations have deen realized. The Gazette took two weeks- to extract letters, which amount to practically nothing, from Constable Tooth and from the postmasters at Penticton and lied ley. Of course it is patent to ali readers of the Gazette that A. Megraw was really the writer oi all three of them. We are surprised only that the persons whose signatures are attached should have signed the letters without first having read them. The letter signed by the Penticton postmaster would indicate that that gentleman is bookkeeper to the Gazette and can, therefore, speak with authority as to who are subscribers and who are not. If we are to plaee any value upon the letter by the Hedley postmaster it must be after it is conceded that the bundles of papers despatched to the various towns are weighed sep- erately each week and that before despatching them the postmaster tears open each bundle to see whether all are addressed to subscribers or not. Of course, as every person in the newspaper business knows, nothing of th3 kind is done. The letters, therefore, are a poor bungle, doing credit neither to the Major, as writer, nor to those who were weak enough to be bulldozed into signing them. We merely smile when the Gazette, in a frantic fit of child- ishnes, remarks that those who know John Tooth and the editor of the Press will take the word of the former before the oath of the latter. We have refused to drag uninterested persons into our quarrel and refuse to discuss their characters now.

In the second place, if the editor of the Gazette had the respect for Const. Tooth that he claims, he would not have dragged him into this quarrel. Our acquaintance with Const. Tooth has convinced us that, whatever his character may be, he is not in the habit of dabbling in other people's affairs much less volunteering his assistance to; people who get into trouble; through their own folly.

Apply this test to the policies of the following companies and it will be found that they represent the highest standard of excellence. No better security can be purchased in the fire insurance world to-day. The second test is the "liberality" with which the contract will be discharged in case of loss.

BEACH. Copyright. 1003. by Rex. E. Beach. "Where sire ynu going?" "Why. nobody wants to danre. so we thought we'd go out front for a hit." "Opt hack, all nf yon!" It was bin first Chance to vent the passion within him. A glance at his maddened features was sufficient for the musicians, and they did not delay. Hy the time they had resumed their duties, however, the curtains of composure had closed upou the Kid. masking his emotion again, hut from her hrlef glimpse Cherry Malotte knew that this man was not of Ice. as some supposed, ne turned to her and said. "Do you mean what you said upstairs?" "I don't understand." "You said you could kill Clenister." "I con Id." "Don't you love"��� "I hate hlin." she Interrupted hoarsely. He gave her a mirthly smile and. spying the crap dealer leaving bin bankrupt table, called him over and said: "Toby, 1 want you to drive the hearse when Clenister begins to play faro. I'll deal. l.'ndcrstanu '," "Sure! Going to give him a little 'work.' eh?" "I never dealt a cronl-.ed card 1:: this camp," exclaimed the Kid. "but I'll ���lay' that man tonight or Til kill him! I'll use a 'sand-tell.' sec? And I want to explain my signals to you. If you miss the signs you'll queer ns both and put the house on the blink." He rapidly rehearsed his signals in a Jargon which to a layman would have been unintelligible. Illustrating them by certain almost imperceptible shift- Ings of tbe fingers or changes In tbe position of his hand so slight as to thwart discovery. Through It all the girl stood by and followed his every won1 and motion with eager attention. She needed no explanation of the terms they used. She knew them all; knew that the "hearse driver" was the man who kept the cases: knew all the code of the "Inside life." To her It was all as an open page, and she memorized more quickly than did Toby the signs by which the Bronco Kid proposed to signal what card he had smuggled from the box or held hack. In fars It Is customary for the case keeper to sit on the opposite side of tlie table from the dealer with n device before him resembling an abacus, Ol Chinese adding machine. When a cur<1 Is removed from the faro box by the deiler. the "hearse driver" moves a button opposite a corresponding card ou his little machine, iu order that the players at a glance may tell what spots have been played or are still in tbe box. His duties, though simple, are important, for should be make an error and should tbe position of his counters not tally witli tbe cards In tbe box ou the "last turn." all bets on the table are declared void. Wheu honestly dealt, faro Is the fairest of all gambling games, but it is Intricate and may hide much knavery. When the game is crooked It Is fatal, for out of the ingenuity of generations of card sharks there have been evolved a multitude of devices with which to fleece the unsuspecting. These are so carefully masked that none but the initiated may know them, while the freemasonry of the craft Is strong and discovery unusual. Instead of using a familiar arrangement like the "needle-tell." wherein an invisible needle pricks the dealer's thumb, thus signaling tlie presence of certain cards, the Bronco Kid had determined to use the "sand-tell." In other words, he would employ a "straight box," but a deck of cards, certain ones of which had been roughened or sandpapered slightly, so that, by pressing more heavily on tlie top or exposed card, the one beneath would stick to Its neighbor above and thus enable him to deal two with one motion if the occasion demanded. This roughness would likewise enable him to detect the hidden presence of a marked card by the faintest scratching sound when he dealt. In this manipulation it would he necessary also to shave the edges of some of the pasteboards a trifle, so that when the deck was forced firmly against one side of the box there would he exposed a fraction of the small figure In the left hand corner of the concealed cards. Long practice In tbe art of Jugglery lends such proficiency as to baffle discovery and rob the game of Its uncertainty us surely as the player Is robbed of his money. It is, of course, vital that the confederate case keeper he able to interpret tbe dealer's signs perfectly lu order to move the sliding ebony disks to correspond, else trouble will accrue nt the completion of the baud when the cases come out wrong. Having completed his Instructions, the proprietor went forward, and Cherry wormed ber way toward the roulette wheel, fr'he wished to watch Clenister. but could uot get near him because of the crowd. The men would not make room for ber. Every eye was glued upon the table as though salvation lurked in its rows of red and black. Tbey were packed behind It until the croupier had barely room to spin the ball, and although he forced them back, they pressed forward again Inch by Inch, drawn by the song of the Ivory, drunk with its worship, maddened by the breath of Chance. Cherry gathered that Clenister was ��tl|| winning, for a glimpse of the wheel rack between tbe slioulders of those ahead shov. ed that Hie checks were nearly oul of it. Plainly it was but a question of minutes, so she harked out and took her station beside the faro table where Ihe Bronco Kid was dealing. Ills face wore its colorless mask of indifference: his long white hands moved slowly with the certainty that betokened absolute mastery of his art He was waiting The ex-crap dealer was keeping ca the case keeper again. "I.et mc take your place; your reins are unbuckled." Toby glanced Inquiringly nt the Kid, who caught Cherry.'s reassuring look and nodded, so he arose and tlie girl slid Into the vacant chair. This women would n nke no errors, the dealer knew that: her keen wils were sharp- ���nel by hate���it showed in her face, f OleuHter escaped destruction to- nl.rht It would be because human :uonns could not accomplish his downfall. In the mind of the new case keeper ! there was but one thought���Roy must I !.e broken. Humiliation, disgrace, ruin, ridicule were to lie his. If he should be downed, discredited and discouraged, then perhaps he would turn to her as he had iu tlie bygone days. He | was slipping away from her���this was her last chance. She began ber duties easily, and her alertness stimuiat- ; ed Bronco t.'i bis senses, too. grew sharper, ids observation more acute I aud lightning-like. Clenister swore be- : ueatli bis breath that the cards were i bewitched. lie was like a drunken man, uow as truly Intoxicated as though the fumes of wine bad befogged his brain. He swayed In bis seat, the veins of his neck thickened and throbbed. Ilia features were congested. After awhile lie spoke. "I want a bigger limit. Is this some boy's game? Throw her open." The gambler shot a triumphant glance at the girl und acquiesced. "All right, the limit is the blue sky. File your checks to the roof pole." He be gan to shullle. Within tlie crowded circle the air was hot aud fetid witli the breath of men. The sweat trickled down Clen- Ister's brown skin, dripping from his Jaw unnoticed. He arose and ripped off bis coat, wliiie those standing behind shifted and scuffed their feet Impatiently. Besides Iloy, there were but three men playing. They were the ones who had won heaviest at first. Now that luck was agaiust them they were loath to quit. Cherry was annoyed by stertorous breathing at her shoulder, and glanced bnck to Hud the little man who had been so excited earlier in the evening. His mouth was agape, bis eyes wide, the muscles about bis lips twitching. He bnd lost back, long since, the hundreds be had won nnd more besides. She searched tlie figures walling her about and snw no women. They had been crowded out long since. It seemed as though the table formed tbe bottom of a sloping pit of humau faces ���eager, tense, staring. It was well she was here, she thought, else this task might fail. She would help lo blqst Clenister, desolate bim, humiliate hirh. Ah, but wouldn't she! Hoy bet $100 on the "popular" card. On the third turn be lost. He bet $200 next and lost. He set out a stack of $400 aud lost for the third time. Fortune had turned her face. He ground his teeth aud doubled until the stakes grew enormous, while the dealer dealt monotouously. The spots Hashed and disappeared, taking with thorn wager after wager. Clenister became conscious of a raging, red fury which he had hard shift to master. It was not his money���whnt if he did lose? He would stay until he won. He would win. This luck would not, could uot, last���nnd yet with diabolic persistence he continued to choose the losing cards. The other men fared better till be yielded to their judgment, when the dealer took their money also. Str.mge to say. tho fickle goddess bnd really shifted her banner at last, and the Bronco Kid was dealing straight faro now. He was too giod a player to force a winning band, and Cleuls- ter's II fortune became as phenomenal as bis winning had been. The girl who (igii'/ed In tills drama was keyed to the highest tension, ber eyes now on her co'fnters, now searching the profile of her victim. Olenister continued to lose and lose and ln<-e. while the girl gloated over his swift coming ruin. When at long intervals be won a bet, sho ���.brhnk and shivered for fear he might "senile. If only he would risk It all��� everything he bad. He would unvc to come to her then! The end was closer than she realized. The throng bung breathless upou each move of tlie players, while there was no soon 1 but tbe noise of sblftiug chips aud the distant jangle of tbe orchestra. The lookout sat far forward upon Ills perch, bis hands upou his knees, his eyes frozen to the board, a dead cigar clinched between his teeth. Crowded upon his platform were miners tense and motionless as statues. When a man spoke or coughed, a score of eyes stared at him accusingly, then dropped to the table again. Clenister took from his clothes n bun- dl> of banknotes so thick that It required his two hands to compass it. Onlookers saw tbat the bills were mainly yellow. No one spoke while lie counted thorn rapidly, glanced at the dealer, who nodded, then slid them forward till they rested on ihe king. He placed a "copper" on tbe pile. A great sigh of Indrawn breaths swept through tho crowd. Tho north had never known a bet like this���it meant a fortune. Hero was a tale for one's grandchildren���that a mnn should win opulence iu nn evening, then lose It lu one deal. This final bet represented more than many of them had ever seen at one time before. Its fate lay on n single card. Cherry Malotte's fingers were like Ice and shook till the buttons of her case keeper rattled, her heart raced till she could not breathe, while something rose up and choked her. If Clenister won this bet, he would quit, She felt it. If he lost, nb! what could the Kid there feci, tho man who was playing for a paltry vengoance, compared to ber wll030 hope of happiness, of love, of life hinged on this wager? Evidently tho Bronco Kid knew what card lay next below, for be offered her no sign, and as Olenister leaned back lie slowly and firmly pushed the top card out of the box. Although this was the biggest turn of his life, be betrayed no tremor. Ills gesture displayed the nine of diamonds, and tbe crowd breathed heavily. The king had not won. Would It lose? Every gaze was welded to tlie tiny nickeled box. If the face card lay next beneath the nine spot, the heaviest wnger In Alaska would have been lost; if it still remained bidden on the next turn, tha money would be safe for a moment. Slowly the white hand of the denier moved back. Ills middle Auger touch ed the nine of diamonds. It sli 1 smoothly out of the box. and there i:i its place frowned the king of clubs. At last the silence was broken. Men spoke; some laughed, hut ins their laughter was no mirth. It was more like the sound of choking. They stamped their feet to relieve tlie grip of strained muscles. The dealer reached forth and slid the stack of bills Into the drawer nt his waist without counting. The case keeper passed a shaking hand over her face, aud when it came away she saw blood on her fingers where she*bad sunk her teeth into her lower lip. Clenister did not rise. He sat. heavy browed and sullen, his jaw thrust forward, his hair low upon his forehead, his eyes bloodshot and dead. "I'll sit the hand nut if you'll let me bet the 'finger,' " said he. "Certainly," replied tlie dealer. When a man requests this privilege. It means that be will call the amount of bis wager without producing the visible stakes, and the dealer may accept or refuse according to his judgment of the bettor's responsibility. It Is snfe. for no mnn shirks a gambling debt in tlie north, and thousands may go with a nod of the head though never a rent he on the board. There were still a few cards In tlie box, nnd the dealer turned them, paying the three men who played. Clenister took no part, but sat bulked over Ills end of the table, glowering from beneath bis shock of hair. Cherry was deathly tired. The strain of the last hour had been so intense that she could barely sit in her seat, yet she was determined to finish tlie hand. As Bronco paused hefore the last turn many of the bystanders mnde bets. They were the "case players" who risked money only on tlie dual pair, thus avoiding the chance of two cards of like denomination coming together, In which event ("splits" it is called) the dealer takes half the money. The stakes were laid at last and the deal about to start when Clenister spoke "Walt! What's this place worth, nronco?" "What do you mean?" "You own this outfit?" Tie waved his hand about the room. "Well, what does It stand you?" The gambler hesitated an instant, while the crowd pricked up Its ears, and the girl turned wondering, troubled eyes upon the miner. What would he do now? "Counting bank rolls, fixtures and all, about $120,000. Why?" "I'll pick the nee to lose, my one-half Interest In the Midas against your whole layout." There was an absolute bush while the realization of this offer smote the onlookers. It took time to realize It. This mnn was insane. There were three cards to choose from���one would win, one would lose, and one would have no action. Of all those present only Cherry Malotte divined even vaguely the real reason which prompted the man to do this. It was not "gameness" nor altogether a brutish stubbornness which would not let him quit. It was something deeper. He was desolate, and his heart was gone. Helen wns lost to him���worse yet. wns unworthy���and she was all he cared for. What did he want of the Midns, with Its lawsuits. Its Intrigues and Its trickery? He was sick of It all, of the whole game, and wanted to got away. If lie won, very well. If he lost, the land of the aurora would know him no more. When he put his proposition the Bronco Kid dropped his eyes as though debating, The girl saw that he stu- ool omfortabSe ���amp hairs "That hct Isnff! The cases arc wrong!" died the cards In his box intently nnfl that Ills fingers caressed the top one ever so softly during tlie instant tlie eyes of the rest were ou Clenister. Tlie deiurr loorseu up at 'ast, and Cherry saw the gleam of triumph in his eye lie could not mask it from her. though Ids answering words were hesitating. She knew by the look that Clenister was a pauper. "Come on," insisted Roy hoarsely; "turn tlie cards." "You're on!" The girl felt that she was fainting. She wanted to scream. The triumph of this moment stifled ber���or was it triumph, after nil? She heard the breath of the little man behind her rattle as though he wei'e being throttled and saw the lookout pass a shaking hand to bis chin, then wet his parched lips. She snw the man she hail helped to ruin hend forward, his lean face strained und hard, an odd look of pain and weariness in his eyes. She novel' forgot thut look. The crowd was frozen in various attitudes of ea einess. although It had not yet reccn red from the suspense of the last great wager It knew the Midas ami what It meant. Here lay half of It. bidden beneath a tawdry square of pnstolxiiird With maddening deliberation the Kid dealt the top card, Beneath It was the trey of spades. Clenister said no word nor made a move. Some one coughed, and It sounded like a gunshot. Slowly the dealer's fingers retraced their way. He hesitated purposely nud leered nt the girl, then the three spot disappeared nnd beneath it lay the nee ns the king had lnln on that other wager It spelled utter ruin to ''Icnlsler He raised his eyes blindly, and theu tbe deathlike silence of FOLDING CHAIRS FOR Camp or Veranda AT STEWARD'S Phone No. 9 KALEDEN NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET YOUR NAME ON THE LIST FOR AN EARLY CHOICE ! 5 ACRE LOTS-LEVEL LAND-NO TREES-FACING DOG LAKE-DOMESTIC WATER TO EVERY LOT.

The cases nre wrong!" Glenlster half rose, overturning his chair; the Kid hinged forward across tlie table, and liis wonderful hands. tense and talon-like, thrust themselves forward as though reaching for the riches she had snatched away. Tbey worked and writhed and trembled as though lu dumb fury, the nails sinking into tlie oilcloth table cover. Ills face grew livid and cruel, while his eyes blazed at her till she shrank from him affrlghtedly. bracing herself away from the table with rigid anus. Reason came slowly back to Clenister and understanding with it. lie seemed to awake from a nightmare. He could read all too plainly the gambler's look of ballled hate ns the man sprawled on the table, his arms spread wide, his eyes glaring at the cowering woman, who shrank liefore him like a rabbit before a snake. She tried to speak, but choked. Then the dealer came to himself and cried harshly through his teeth one word: ������Christ!" lie raised his (i :t and struck tbe table so violently tint chips ami cop pel's leaped and rolled, and Cherry closed her eyes lo lose sighl of his awful grimace. Olenister looked down on bim and said: "I think I understand, bill the money was yours anyhow, so I don't mind." Ills meaning wns plain. The Kid suddenly jerked open the drawer before him. but Olenlster clinched his right hand and leaned forward. Tho miner could have killed him with a blow, for the gambler was seated and at his mercy. The Kid checked himself, while his face began to twitch as though the nerves underlying it hail broken bondage and were dancing in a wild, ungovernable orgy. "Von have Inugllt me a lesson," was nil that Glenlster said, and with tbat lie pushed through til? crowd and out Into tbe cool night air. Overhead tlie arctic slurs winked at him, aud the sea smells struck him clean and fresh. As be went homeward lie henrd ihe distant full throated plaint of a wolf dog. It held the mystery and sadness ol' the north, lie paused and, baring liis thick, matted head, stood for a long time gathering himself together. Standing so. lie made certain covenants with himself and vowed solemnly never to toich another card. At the same moment Cherry Malotte came hurrying to her cottage door. Hoeing as though from pursuit or from some baleful, haunted spot. She paused before entering and Hung her arms outward into the dark in a wide gesture of despair. "Why did I do 11? Oh, why did I do It? I can't understand myself." (To be continued.) FOR SALE.
