A-t,tress, Dr. Kilmer A Oo., Binghamton, N. Y
“If I do not find her worthy of
you, then she cannot have you,” went
on Helena von Ritz.
“But, madam, you forget one thing.
She is worthy of me, or of any other
man!”
“I shall be judge of that. If she is
what you think, you shall have her—
and Oregon!”
“But as to myself, madam? The bar-
gain?”
I "I arrive, monsieur! If she fails
you, then I ask only time.”
“I begin to see, madam,” said I,
"how large these stokes may run.”
“In case I lose, be sure at least
shall pay. I shall make my atone-
ment.” she said.
“I doubt not that, madam, with all
your heart and mind and soul.”
“And body!” she whispered. The
j old horror came again upon her face,
She shuddered, I did not know why,
She stood nsw as one in devotions for
a time, and I would no more have
spoken than had she been at her pray-
ers, as, indeed, I think she was. At
last she made some faint movement
of her hands. 1 do not know whether
It waB the sign of the cross.
She rose now, tall, white-clad, shim-
mering, a vision of beauty such as that
part of the world certainly could not
then offer. Her hair was loosened now
in its masses and drooped more wide-
j ly over her temples, above her brow.
Her eyes were very large and dark,
and I saw the faint blue shadows
coming again beneath them. Her
hands were clasped, her chin raised
Just a trifle, and her gaze was rapt
as that of some longing soul. I could
not guess of these things, being but a
man, and, I fear, clumsy alike of
body and wit.
“What are my stakes? How may I
pay?",
“There is one thing, madam, which
we have omitted,” said I at last.
She swayed a little on her feet, as
though she were weak. “I want,”
said she, “I wish—I wish—”
The old childlike look of pathos
came again. I have never seen so sad
a face. She was a lady, white and
delicately clad; I, a rude frontiers-
man in camp-grimed leather. But I
stepped to her now and took her in
my arms, and held her close, and
pushed back the damp waves of her
hair. And because a man’s tears
were in my eyes, 1 have no doubt of
absolution when I say I had been a
; cad and a coward had I not kissed her
own tears away. I no longer mado
pretense of ignorance, but ah! how I
wished that I were ignorant of what it
was not ray right to know. . . .
I led her to the edge of the little
bed of husks and found her kerchief,
i Ah, she was of breeding and courage!
Presently, her voice rose steady and
; clear as ever. “Threlka!” she called.
| “Please!"
When Threlka came, she looked
j closely at her lady’s face, and what
; she read seemed, after all, to content
her.
“Threlka,” said’ ray lady In French,
“I want the little one.”
I turned to her with query in my
eyes.
“Tiens!” she said. "Wait. I have a
littie surprise.”
"You have nothing at any time save
surprises, madam.”
”T wo things 1 have,’’ said she, sigh-
ing; a little dog from China, Chow
by name. He sleeps now. and 1 must
not disturb him, else 1 would show
you how lovely a dog is Chow. Also
here I have found a little Indian child
ruining about the post. Dr. McLaugh-
lin s icjolced when I adopted her.”
•v then, madam, what next?”
"Yes, with the promise to him that
would care for that little child. I
want something for my own. See
now. Come Natoka!"
The old servant paused at the door.
There slid across the floor with th
silent feet of the savage the tiny flg
ure of a little child, perhaps four1
years of age, with coal-black hair and
beady eyes, clad in all the bequillcd
finery that a trading post could fur-
nish—a little orphan child, as I
learned later, whose parents had both
been lost in a canoe accident at the
Dalles. She was an infant, wild, un-
trained, unloved, unable to speak a
word of the language that she heard.
She stood now hesitating, but that
was only by reason of her sight of me.
As I stepped aside, the little one
walked steadily but with quickening
steps to my satin-clad lady on her
couch of husks. She took up the child
In her arms. . . . Now, there must
be some speech between woman and
child. I do not know, except that the
Baroness von Ritz spoke and that the
child put out a hand to her cheek.
Then, as I stood awkward as a clown
myself and not knowing what to-do, I
saw tears rain again from the eyes of
Helena von Ritz, so that I turned
away, even as I saw her cheek laid
to that of the child while she clasped
it tight.
“See, then," she said; ’’here is my
companion across the mountains.”
Again I began to expostulate, but
now sho tapped her foot impatiently
In her old way. "You have heard me
say it. Very well. Follow If you like.
Listen also if you like. In a day or so
Dr. McLaughlin plans a party for us
all far up tho Columbia to the mis-
sions at Wailatpu. That is in the
valley of the Walla Walla, they tell
me, just at this edge of the Blue
mountains, where the wagon trains
come down Into this part of Oregon."
“They may not see the wagon trains
so soon,” I ventured. “They would
scarcely arrive before October, and
now it Is but summer.”
“At least these British officers would
see a part of this country, do you not
comprehend? We start within three
days at leapt. I wish only to say that
perhaps—”
“Ah, I will be there surely, madam!”
"If you come independently. I have
heard, however, that one of the mis-
sionary women wishes to go back to
the states. I have thought that per-
haps it might be better did we go to-
gether. Also Natoka. Also Chow."
“Does Dr. McLaughlin know of
your plans?”
“I am not under his orders, mon-
sieur. I only thought that, since you
were used to this western travel, you
could, perhaps, be of aid in getting
me proper guides and vehicles. I
should rely upon your judgment very
much, monsieur.”
“You are asking me to aid you in
your own folly,” said I discontentedly,
“but I will be there; and be sure also
you can not prevent me from follow-
ing—If you persist in this absolute
folly. A woman—to cross the Rock-
ies!”
I rose now, and she was gracious
enough to follow me part way toward
the door. We hesitated there, awk-
wardly enough. But once more our
hands met in some sort of fellowship.
“Forget!” I heard her whisper. And
I could think of no reply better than
that same word.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
. ,.en a Woman Would.
The two pleasantest days of a woman
are her marriage day and the day of her
funeral,—Hlpponax.
My garden at the Willamette might
languish if it like, and my little cabin
might stand in uncut wheat. For me,
there were other matters of more im-
portance now. I took leave of hos-
pitable Dr. McLaughlin nt Fort Van-
couver with proper expressions of the
obligation due for his hospitality; hut
I said nothing to him, of course, of
having met the mysterious baroness,
nor did I mention definitely that I in-
tended to meet them both again at no
distant date. None the less, I pre-
pared to set out at once up the Co-
lumbia river trail.
From Fort Vancouver to the mis-
sions at Wailatpu was a distance by
trail of more than 200 miles. This I
covered horseback, rapidly, and ar
rived two or three days in advance of
the English. Nothing disturbed the
quiet until, before noon of one day,
wo heard the gun fire and the shout-
ings which In that country customar-
ily mado announcement of tho arrival
of a party of travelers. Being on the
lookout for these, I soon discovered
them to be my late friends of the
Hudson bay post.
One old brown woman, unhappily
astride a native pony, I took to be
Threlka, my lady’s servant, but she
rode with her class, at the rear,
looked again, until I found the bar-
oness, clad in buckskins and blue
cloth, brave as any in ilnery of the
frontier. Dr. McLaughlin saw lit to
present us formally, or rather care-
lessly; it not seeming to him that two
so different would meet often In the
future; and ol' course there being no
dream even in his shrewd mind that
we had ever met in the past. This
supposition fitted our plans, even
though it kept us apart. I was but a
common emigrant farmer, camping
like my kind. She, being of distinc-
tion, dwelt with the Hudson bay party
in the mission buildings.
"Continually you surprise me, mad-
am," I began at last. "Can we not
persuade you to abandon this foolish
plan of your going east?"
“I can Bee no reason for abandon-
ing it," said she. “There are some
thousands of your people, men, women
and children, who have crossed that
trail. Why should not I?”
“But they come in large parties;
they come well prepared. Each helps
his neighbor."
"The distance is the same, and the
method is the same."
1 ceased to argue, seeing that she
would not be persuaded. “At least,
madam,” said I, “I have done what lit-
tle I could in securing you a party.
You are to have eight mules, two
carts, six horses, and two men, besides
old Joe Meek, the best guide now in
Oregon. He would not go to save his
life. He goes to save yours.”
“You are good special pleader,”
said she: "hut you do not shake me in
my purpose, and I hold to my terms.
It does not rest with you and me, but
with another. As I told you—as w»
have both agreed—”
"Then let us not speak her name,”
said I.
Again her eyes looked into mine,
straight, large and dark. Again the
spell of her beauty rose all around
me, envoloped me as I had felt it do
before. “You cannot have Oregon, ex-
cept through me,” she said at last
“You cannot have — her — except
through me!”
“It Is the truth," 1 answered. "In
Cod’s name, then, play the game fair."
CURE THAT SORE THROAT
Sore throat Is Inflammation of tha
! mucous membrane of the throat, and
| if thiB membrane happens to be at all
I sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sora
throat because it possesses extraor-
dinary clennslng, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick-
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
tho mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat. .
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an-
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and 50c a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

CHAPTER XXX.
CHAPTER XXIX,
In Exchange.
Great women belong to history and to
self-sacrifice.—Leigh Hunt.
For sufficient reasons of my own,
which have been explained, I did not
care to mingle more than was neces-
sary with the party of the Hudson bay
fclk who mado their headquarters
with the missionary families. I kept
close to my own camp when not busy
with my inquiries in the neighbor-
hood, where I now began to see what
could be done in the preparation of a
proper outfit for the baroness. Her-
self I did not see for the next two
days; but one evening I met her on
the narrow log gallery of one of the
mission bouses. Without much speech
we sat and looked over the pleasant
prospect of the wide flats, the fringe
of willow trees, the loom of the moun-
tains off toward the east.
What Are Mv Stakes? How May I Pav?”
Counter Currents.
Woman Is like the reed that bends to
every breeze, but breaks not In the tem-
pest.—Bishop Richard Wlmtely.
The Oregon immigration for 1S45
numbered, according to some ac-
counts, not less than 2,000 souls. Our
people still rolled westward In a
mighty wave. The history of that
great west-bound movement is well
known. The story of a yet more de-
cisive journey of that same year never
lias been written—that of Helena von
Ritz, from Oregon to the east. The
price of that journey was an empire;
its cost—ah, let me not yet speak of i
that.
Although Meek and I agreed that he
should push east at the best possible
speed, it was well enough understood
that I should give him no more than a
day or so start. I did npt purpose to j
allow so risky a journey as this to be
undertaken by any woman in so small
a party, and made no doubt that I
would overtake them at least at Fort
Hail, perhaps 500 miles east of the !
missions, or at farthest at Fort Brid-
ger, some 700 miles from the starting
point in Oregon.
The young wife of one of the mis-
sionaries was glad enough to take
passage thus for the east; and there
was the silent Threlka. Those two j
could offer company, even did not the
little Indian maid, adopted by the
baroness, serve to interest her. Their
equipment and supplies were as good
as any purchasable. What could be
done, we now had done,
Yet, after all, Helena von Ritz had
her own way. I did not see her again
after we parted that evening at tho
mission. I was absent for a couple of
days with a hunting party, and on my
return discovered that she was gone,
with no more than brief farewell to
those left behind! Meek was anxious
as herself to be off; but he left word
for me to follow on at once.
It may be supposed that I myself
now hurried In my plans. I was able
to make up a small party of four men.
about half the number Meek took with
him; and l threw together such
equipment as I could find remaining,
not ■ wholly to my liking, but good
enough, I fancied, to overtake a party
headed by a woman. But one thing
after another cost us time, and we did
not average 20 miles a day. I felt
half desperate, as I reflected on what
that might mean. As early fall was
approaching, I could expect, In view
of my own lost time, to encounter the
annual wagon train 200 or 300 miles
farther westward than the object of
my pursuit naturally would have done.
As a matter of fact, my party met
the wagons at a point well to the west
of Fort, Hall.
It was early in the morning we met
them coming west—that long, weary,
dust-covered, creeping caravan, a mile
long, slow serpent, crawling westward
across the desert. In time I came up
to the head of the tremendous wagon
train of 1845, and Its leader and my-
self thew up our hands in the saluta-
tion of the wilderness.
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
An Adherent.
By mistake a farmer had got aboard
a car reserved for a party of college
graduates who were returning to
their alma mater for some special
event. There was a large quantity
of refreshments on the car, and the

| Finally some one asked him: "Are
j you an alumnus?" "No," said 'he
iorraer earnestly; “hut 1 bulievj lo

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING
“It is just a year ago that my sta-
ter came over here to us. She had
been hero only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
i sting as if she had sand in them.
Then wo used all of the home reme-
dies. Sho washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to bathe them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, hut all to no purpose.
She went to the drug storo and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely ablo to look
in the light. At last she decided to
i go to a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was a very severe disease, and
if she did not follow his orders close-
ly sho might lose her eyesight. He
: mado her eyes burn and applied elec-
tricity to them, and gave her various
j ointments. In the two and a half or
i three months that she went to the
doctor, wo could see very littie im
I provement.
“Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
i that wo thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used It. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
I very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. Sho could already seo bettor,
and in six weeks she was cured.”
