Ardmore was atlll writing wb'ii
Cooke stood beneath him under the
cabooee platform.
■'1 b< g your pardon, Mr. Ardmore,
but this Is our first prisoner."
Ardmore ilgrn d a dispatch and then
looked up and took the plp«; from his
inouth. Collins lifted his bat politely.
"Ab, Mr Ardmore, you see I have
taken advantage of your exceedingly
kind Invitation to look you up in
North Carolina."
"Me was looking for you very hard
when I found him, Mr. Ardmore," in-
terposed Cooke.
"Your appearance delights me,"
said Ardmore, extending his hand to
the reporter. "It was nice of you to
walk out here to find me. Wouldn't
tb'-y put you up at the house?"
"Well, the fact Is I didn't stop there.
My paper sent me In this general di-
rection on business, but I had every
honorable Intention of making you
that vlHlt aft<-r I finished my assign
ment. Hut Cookie here says I'm ar-
rested."
"Ht's a daii|? *rous character and
can't he allowed to run loose In these
parts I'm going to tie him up," said
Cooke
"May I ask you, Mr. Collins, Just
what you are doing here?" Inquired
Ardmore.
"You may, and I'll bet a boiled
goose that Cookie and I are on the
same Job."
"What are you looking for?" de-
manded Ardmore'* chief of staff.
"It's a big story If I get It, and I
have ev«ry Intention of getting It,"
said Collins guardedly.
"Out with It!" commanded Ard-
Diore.
"The fact Is, then, that I'm looking
for a person of Importance."
'Go right on, please."
"And that person Is the governor of
North Carolina, who is mysteriously
uhsefit from Raleigh. He attended
tho Cotton Planters' convention In
New Orleans. Ho got as far as At-
lanta on his way home and then dls-
nppcared. I need not say to gcntle-
tuen of your Intelligence that a lost
governor Is ripe fruit In my business,
and I have reason to believe that for
some purpose of his own the governor
of North Carolina is hiding in this
very neighborhood."

Cooke."
They rode off in single fi:e on the
fa -test of tra.ls thrc -gh the woods,
Cooke leading and Ardmore and Col-
! ns follow;sg immediately behind him.
Tbe great host of Evaimer stars
throtged the sky, and the moon fcent
ts soft effuigence across the n.ght.
Ttey presently forded a noisy stream
aid while they were aeekiag tbe trail
aga;n on the farther side an owl
tovted a thousand yarde up the creek,
and while the line re-formed Cooke
paused and listened. Then the owl s

laid his hand on Ardmore's rein.
"There's a foot-trail that leads along

Tbe slow even morion of the riders
was interrupted suddenly. The man,
who was nearer the remote ob-orvers,
had stopped and bent toward the
woman a-, though to snatch her rein,
when her horse threw up its bead
and fell back on Its haunches. Then
the woman struck the man a b ''A
with ber riding-crop, and galloped
swiftly away along the white ribhon
like road. In the perfect night silence
it was like a scene of pantomime
"That's all right!" cried Cooke
"Come along! We'll cut Into tbat
road at the bungalow."
They swung their horses away from
the ridge ar.d bark into the bridle-
path, which once more dipped sharply
down into heavy timber, Cooke lead-
ing the way, and three of the beat
hunters known to the Ardsley stabies
f!ew down the clear but winding path.
The incident which the trio had wit-
nessed required no Interpretation; the
girl's blow and flight bad translated
it Into language explicit enough.
Ardmore thanked his German for-
ester a thousand times for the admir-
able bridle path over which they gal-
loped, with Its certain footing beneath
and clean sweep from the boughH
above. The blood surged hotly through
his heart, and he was angry for the
first time in his life; but his head was
! cool, and tbe damp air of the forest
Cowing by tranquillized him into a
new elation of spirit. Jerry Danger-
field was the dearest and noblest and
1 bravest girl in the world—he knew
1 that; and she was clever and resource-
ful enough to devise means for pre-
serving her father's official and priv-
ate honor; and not less quick to de-
fend herself from insult from a titled
scoundrel.
The three men rode out into the
broad highway at the red bungalow and
paused to listen.
"He hasn't got here yet. Only one
person has passed and these must be
the tracks of tbe girl's horse," said
Cooke, who had dismounted and struck
matches, the better to observe the
faint hoof prints in the hard shell
road.
"He'll be along in a minute. Let us
got into the shadow of the bungalow,
and when he comes we'll ride out and
nail him. The bungalow's a sort of
way house. I often stop here when
I'm out on the estate and want to
rest I have the key in my pocket."
As Ardmore's keys Jingled in the
lock Cdoke cried out softly. Their
quarry was riding swiftly toward
them, and he drew rein before the
bungalow as Cooke and Collins rode
out to meet him.
"I say," panted the duke.
"You are our prisoner. Dismount
and come into this house."

St. Thomas of Canterbury.
The festival of St Thomas of Can-
terbury, from being perhaps the most
popular of saints' days in England,
has now fallen into complete desue-
! tude, and Its revival is not aadvocated
j by even the most fervent of Anglo-
Catholics. It was Henry VIII, who
j destroyed the Becket tradition. The Baker-Wheeler Mfg. Co., Dallas, Tex.
king was (as always) in need of
money, and the shrine of St. Thomas
in Canterbury Cathedral seemed a
suitable object for legalized loot. So
in 1538 an order was Issued that the
bones of the saint should be burned
and the offerings made at his shrine
—the trophies of three centuries and
a half—forfeited to the crown. Becket
was to be decanonized, his images to
be destroyed and his name erased
from the service books. The work
was faithfully performed. "The name
of Gfeta," writes Dean Staanley, "hag
not been more carefully erased by his
rival brother on every monument of
the Roman Empire."
The Blood Surged Hotly Through His Heart.
Apple-
but the destruction

"Iiut by the ghost of John C. Cal-
houn, don't you see that I'm losing the
chance of my life in my own profes-
sion? There's a story in this that
would put me to the top and carry me
right Into New York," and Collins
glancnd about for his suit-case, as
though meditating flight.
"Your appointment has gone into
effect," said Ardmore with finality,
"and if you bolt you will be caught
and made to walk the plank. And so
far as your future is concerned, you
shall have a newspaper of your own
anywhere you please as soon as this
war Is over."
Tho three men adjourned to the ca-
boose, where Ardmore told Collins all
that It seemed necessary for the
newspaper man to know; and within
half an hour the new recruit had en-
tered thoroughly Into the spirit of the
adventure, though his mirth occasion-
ally got the better of him, and he
bowed his head in his hands and sur-
rendered himself to laughter. Thereaft-
er, until the six o'clock supper was
ready, he kept the operator occupied.
He sent to the Palladium a thoroughly
plausible story giving prominence to
administration la a fizzle," said Ard-
more, as they resumed their march
through the forest There was a
wilder fling to the roll of the land
now, but the underbrush was better
cleared, and the trail had become a
bridle-path that had known man's
care.
"This is some of Paul's work," said
Ardmore; "and if I am not very much
mistaken we are on my land now and
headed straight enough for the wagon-
road that leads south beyond the red
bungalow. These roads in here were
planned to give variety, but I never
before appreciated how complicated
they are."
The path stretched away through
the heavy forest, and they climbed to
a ridge tbat commanded a wide region
that lay bathed in silver moonlight,
so softly luminous tbat it seemed of
the stuff of shadows made light. West-
ward, a mile distant, lay Ardsley, only
a little below the level of the bridge
and touched with a faint purple aB of
spring twilight
Ardmore sat his saddle, quietly con-
templating the great house that
struck him almost for the first time as
imposing. He felt, too, a little heart-
ache that he 414 not quit* uaderita&d.
Stage Superstition.
An umbrella opened on the stage Is
supposed to bring bad luck, and many
actors would hesitate about wearing
new shoes on the first night of a play.
The evil effects of new shoes are s'-m,
however, to be averted by wearing
them on the wrong feet; in f«4ct, any
player who makes this mistake In the
hurry of dressing regards it as a good
omen fiot to be disturbed. Whistling
on the stage during rehearsals is be-
lieved to Insure a frost on the night
of production, and in operatic circles
a yellow clarinet in the orchestra is
held to bring tbe same dire result

Short, and to the Point.
One of the shortest speeches r
corded in forensic annals is that of
Taunton, afterward a Judge. Charles
Philips, an Irish orator, had made a
flowery speech In an assault case.
Taunton, who was for the defendant,
said in reply: "My friend's eloquent
complaint amounts, in plain English,
to this: That his client has received
a good, sound horsewhipping; and my
defense is as short—that he richly da-
served It"
It is not so much what we do as
what we are that tells in this world.—
