CHAPTER I "Warrington, an American adventurer, and James, his servant, with a caged parrot, the trio known up and down the Irrawaddy as Parrot & Co., travel along the road to the landing, bound for Rangoon to cash a draft for 300,000 rupees. CHAPTER II Elsa Chetwood. rich American girl tourist. Bees Warrington come aboard the boat at the landing and, amazed at his likeness to her nance, Arthur Ellison, asks the purser to intro duce her. Conservative English passeng ers are shocked at her breach of the con ventionalities. CHAPTER III The purser tell3 Elsa that Warrington, the outcast adventurer, has beaten a syndicate and sold his oil claims for 20,000. Warrington puts Rajah, the parrot, through his tricks for Elsa and warns her against acquaintance with unknown adventurers himself, in fact. CHAPTER IV Warrington and Elsa pass two golden days together on the river. Martha, Elsa's companion, warns her that there is gossip." CHAPTER "V In Rangoon Warrington banks his draft, pays old debts, and while Bettling with James in his old lodgings overhears and interferes in a row over cards in the next room. CHAPTER VI Warrington finds that' the row in the next room is caused by an enemy, Newell Craig, and threatens to shoot him unless he leaves town. Elsa goes for a walk with Martha, is annoyed by Craig and stabs him with a hatpin. Warrington bids Elsa good-by. She does not tell him that she is to sail on the same ship for Singapore. (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK) CHAPTER VII. Confidences. That night Martha wrote a letter. During the writing of it she jumped at every sound; a footstep in the hall, the shutting of a door, a voice calling in the street. And yet, Martha was guilty of performing only what she considered to be her bounden duty. My Dear Mr. Arthur: ... I do not know what to make of it. ills likeness to you is the most unheard of thing. He is a little bigger and broader and he wears his beard longer. That's all the differ ence. When he came on the boat that night, it was like a hand clutching at my throat. And you know bow romantic Elsa is. for all she believes she is pfosata. I am certain that 8he sees you In this Btranger who calls himself Warrington. If only you had had the foresight to fol low us, & sailing or two later! And now they'll be together for four or five days, down to Singapore. I dont like it. There's something uncanny In the thing. What if she did forbid you to follow There are some promises women like men to break. You should have followed. Neither of us has the slightest Idea what the man has done to jexile himself in this horrible land for ten years. He still behaves himself like a gentleman, and be must have been one In the past. But he has never spoken of his home, of his past, of his gfople. We don't eysn. know that Warrington Is his hafneV And you know that's a sign that something la : wrong. I wonder if you have any rela tives by the name of Warrington? I be gin to see that man's face in my dreams. I am worried. For Elsa Is a puzzle. She has always been one to me. I have been with her since her babyhood, and yet I know as little of what goes on in her mind as a stranger would. Her fa ther, you know, was a soldier, of fierce loves and hates; her mother was a hand some statue. Elsa has her father's scorn for convention and his independence, clothed in her mother's impenetrable mask. Don't mistake me. Elsa is the most adorable creature to me, and I wor ship her; but I worry about her. I be lieve that it would be wise on your part to meet us in San Francisco. Give my love and respect to your dear beautiful mother. And marry Elsa as fast as ever you can. Pink- By Taking Lydia E. ham's Vegetable Compound. Cleveland, Ohio "My left side pained me so for several years that I expected to nave to undergo an opera tion, but the first bottle I took of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound relieved me of the pains in my side and I continued its use until I became regular and free from pains. I had asked several doc tors if there was anything I could take to help me and they said there was nothing that they knew of. I am thankful for such a good medicine and will always give it the highest praise. Mrs. C. H. Griffith, 1568 Constant St., Cleveland, Ohio. Hanover, Pa. "I suffered from fe male trouble and the pains were so bad at times that I could not sit down. The doctor advised a severe operation but my husband got me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I experienced trreat relief in a short time. Now I feel like a new person and can do a hard day's work and not mind it.

If there are any complications you do not understand write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. (confidential) Lyn n,Mass. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman an held in strict confidence The day of sailing was brilliant and warm. Elsa sat in a chair on the deck of the tender, watching the passengers as they came aboard. A large tourist party bustled about, rummaged among the heaps of luggage, and shouted questions at their unhappy conductor. She saw Hobghly standing in the bow. A steamer trunk, a kit-bag, a bed ding-bag, and- the inevitable parrot cage, reposed at his feet. He was watching without interest or excite ment the stream passing up and down the gangplank. If his master came, very well; if he did not, he would get off with the luggage.. How she would have liked to question him regarding his master! Elsa began to offer ex cuses for her interest in Warrington. He was the counterpart of Arthur EM son. He had made his fortune against odds. He was a mystery. Why shouldn't he interest her? Her mind was not ice, nor was her heart a stone. She pitied him, always wondering what was back of , it all. She would be in Singapore; after that their paths would widen and become lost in the future, and she would forget all about him, save in a shadowy way. She would marry Arthur whether she loved him or not. She was certain that he loved her. He was, besides, her own sort; and there wasn't any mystery about him at all. He was as clear to her as glass. For nearly ten years she had known him, since his and his mother's arrival in the small pretty Kentucky town. What was the use of hunting a fancy? Yes, she would marry Ar thur. She was almost Inclined to cable him to meet her in San Francisco. ' That there was real danger in her Interest in Warrington did not occur to her. The fact that she was now will ing tp marry Arthur. without stnalyz- Ing the causes thatliad brougEF Eer to this decision, should have warned her that she was. dimly afraid of the stranger. Her glance fell upon the mandarin's ring. She twirled it round undecidedly. Should she wear it or put it away? The question remained suspended. She saw Craig coming aboard; and she hid her face behind her magazine. Upon second thought she let the magazine fall. She was quite confident that that chapter was closed. Craig might be a. scoundrel, but he was no fool. A sharp blast from the tender's whistle drew her attention to the gangplank. The last man to come aboard was Warrington. He immedi ately sought James ; and they , stood together chatting until the tender drew up alongside the steamer of the British-India line. The two men snook hands finally, Warrington added a friendly tap on the Eurasian's shoul der. No one would have suspected that the white man and his dark com panion had been "shipmates," in good times and in bad, for nearly a decade. Elsa, watching them from her secure nook, admired the lack of effusiveness. The dignity of the parting told her of the depth of feeling. An hour later they were heading for the delta. Elsa amused herself by casting bits of bread to the gulls. Always they caught it on the wing, no matter in what direction she threw it. Some times one would wing up to her very hand for charity, its coral feet stretched out to meet the quick back play of the wings, Its cry shallow and plaintive and world-lonely. Suddenly she became aware of a presence at her side. A voice said: "It was not quite fair of you." "What wasn't?" without turning her head. She brushed her hands free of the crumbs. "You should have let me know that you were going to sail on this boat." "You would have run away, then." "Why?" startled at her insight. "Because you are a little afraid of me." She faced him, without a smile either on her lips or in her eyes. Aren't you?" "Yes. I am afraid -of all things I do not quite understand." "There is not the least "need in the world, Mr. Warrington. I am quite harmless. My claws have been clipped. I am engaged to be married, and am going home to decide the day." "He's a lucky man." He was aston ished at his calm, for the blow went deep. "Lucky ? That is in the future. What a lonely thing a gull is!" "What a lonely thing a lonely man Is!" he added. Poor 'fool! To have dreamed so fair a dream for a single moment! He tried to believe that he was glad that she had told him about the other man. The least this Infor mation could do would be to give him better control of himself. He had not been out in the open long enough en tirely to master his feelings. "Men ought not to be lonely," she said. "There's the excitement of work, of mingling with crowds, of go ing when and where one pleases. Woman's lot is wondering and wait ing at home. When I marry I sup pose that I shall learn the truth of that" ' Perhaps It was because he had been away, from them so long and had lost track of the moods of the feminine mind; but surely it could not be pos sible that there was real happiness in this young woman's heart. Its evi dence was lacking in her voice, in her face, in her gestures. He thought It over with a sigh. He felt sorry for the girl, sorry for the man; for it was not possible that a girl like this one would go through life without experiencing that flash of insanity that is called the grand passion. He loved her. He could lean against the rail, his shoulder lightly touching hers, and calmly say to himself that he loved her. He . could calmly per mit her to pass out of his life as a cloud passes down the sea-rim. He hadn't enough, but this evil must be fall him. Love! He spread out his hands unconsciously. "What does that mean?" she asked, smiling now. "An invocation?" "It's a sign to ward off evil," he re turned. "Are you expecting evil?" "I am always preparing myself to meet it. There is one thing that will always puzzle me. Why should you CALEDONIA COUNTY. The dates of the Caledonia county fair have been fixed as August 31 to Septembers.
