Her eyes were red and «wollen with weeping. ‘The greeting between the ladies was constrained and embarraesing. "Go back and tell him this for me," she blazed out furiously, "I do know the fate of Little Gay, but no power on the face of earth can force me to reveal it! It will be a hard matter for you to prove that she did not fly from his arme wilâ€" lingly enough." "You @hall be compelled to reveal all!" declared the detective, angrily. ‘‘Never!" she regorted.

"I repeat, once for all, that I will carry the secret of Little Gay‘s fate down to the grave with me without revealing it. Percy Granville shall never clasp her to his heartâ€"my rival shall never triumph over me," she said vehemently. The detective looked at his watch mediâ€" tativelyâ€"it wanted a quarter to nine. Mrs. Remington followed herfinto the apartment that had been set apart for her use, begging her, with all a woman‘s aloqm-nu-, to tell them the fate of Little ay.

She would go down to her grave with the terrible secret locked securely in her breast. Peroy‘s intense grief was terrible to see, and in reakle@s desperation he resolved to sie Evelyn and plead with her himâ€" self. He must do it for Gay‘s dear sake. A mocking laugh fell from Evelyn 8t. Claire‘s lips. "Spoiled her life, have I?‘ she repeatâ€" ed in chameless triumph. "I am well leased to acknowledge it.

A harsh, discordant laugh fell from Evelyn St. Claire‘s erimson lips. "It is etrange," thought the detective grimly, "that one so beautiful should be so utterly heartlees, so cruel." Hig answer changed her into a fiend incarrate. She faced the man defjiantly, a mockâ€" ing smile still curving her red lips.

"It was a glorious revenge, but it doe: not satiefy me," she muttered; "I willâ€"" The rest of the sentence was never utâ€" tered, a peal of the bell interrupted her reverie, and the next moment a servant entered bearing the card of Russel Lenâ€" nox. * Evelyn St. Claire frowned. h "Tell this person I will not see him, she exclaimed angrily. & #5% For Weal or for Wo¢; CHAPTER XXXIV.â€"(Cont‘d) CHAPTER XXXV Or, A Dark Temptation wa s com was one She glanced at him furtivelyâ€"he was gazing out of the opposite window in deep thought. i ‘"Now is my time," thought Evelyn, still watching him narrowly, the light in her determined, eteelâ€"blue eyes deepening. Amid the rumbling of the rapidlyâ€"reâ€" volving wheels the detective did not hear the handle of the coachâ€"door turn ever so lightly and cautiously. He must have been thinking deeply that he did not feel theâ€"Zool breeze as it waftâ€" ed across his face. Her one answer to their passionate pleadings was that they should never know the fate that had befallen Gay, and that she would carry the secret down to the grave with her. P > She had not believed they would carry out their threat of openly denouncing her because she refused to speak, cX Ah, if she could open the carriage door softly, gently, upon the side on which she sat without attracting the detective‘s attentionâ€"then with one swift motion leap from the vehicle to freedom! Ever so cautiously, the desperate, guilty girl, little by little, gathered her garâ€" ments closer about her, planted her fcoot firmly on the carriage step; thenâ€"there was a swift, eudden movement, a light ningâ€"like leap, and in a flash the detecâ€" tive realized what had happenedâ€"his beautiful captiveâ€"the only person who could unfold the dark mystery which shrouded Little Gay‘s fateâ€"had slipped from his grasp. _ At length the detective presented him self for her final decision. "My answer is just what it has been from the first. I shall never restore Gay to t.h'q man whose love should have been mine!" ‘‘Then you must come with me, Miss 8t. Claire," he eaid grimly. ‘"There hae been more "lem'ency shown you than you deâ€" serve. As the coach whirled on through the gathering darkness of the night, she tried io coax, to bribe the man to set her free. It was quite useless. "You shall have your freedom the moâ€" ment after you divulge to me what you have done with that poor young girlâ€" never untH then!" he answered sternly. Evelyn relapsed into silence. If he would not aid her to escape, she would make the daring attempt herself. He, the great detective, had been clevâ€" erly foiled by this desperate, daring young girl. He was furious with anger and chagrin. The terrible jerk had frightened the mettlesome horses and they doubled their pace, breaking into a mad gallop. The frightened driver did his best; but to add to his terror, the reivs broke unâ€" der the terrible tension, the horses seized the bits in their mouths, and tore down the road, drawing the coach after them with lightningâ€"like rapidity.

Again she allowed him to conduct her to a carriage which stood in waiting, but there was that in her eyes which should have warned him that he had a desperâ€" ate woman to deal with. Now the full horror of prison walls loomed up before her mental vision in all ite terrors. _ "Stop those horses, will you!"â€"he cried hoarselyâ€""step those horses, or J will shoot them down in the harness." Evelyn 8t. Claire remained steadfast to her purpose. e t She gave a scornful, defant laugh, clutching her joweled hands nervouely PFollowing Evelyn‘s example, the detecâ€" tive leaped from the vehicle, swiftly dachâ€" ing back over the groundâ€"and as he neared the place from which Evelyn took that terrible leap, a thrilling event hapâ€" pened. As the lightwing flashed through the room the medical students fell back petriâ€" Her hopes were soon dashed in this quarter, however, for she found that the maid had left suddenly, soon after Ga@‘s mysterious disappearance.. "Why should I have gause for alarm?" she told herself, in the next breath. "He can never trace her. I defy all the powâ€" ers of heaven and earth to restore his lost love to him!" She wondered what they intended to do with her at the expiration of the stipuâ€" lated week. Suddenly an idea occurred to her. * Where was Fanny, the girl who had been Gay‘s maidâ€"whom she had bound by euch a strong oath of silence that eventful night? noke a hi e / a If they would but send this girl to her, she could induce her to aid her to escape. "Come away, Mr. Granville," she eaid gently.

Mrs. Remington laid ber white hand on his bowed head, pitying tears falling on the fair clustering curls that were pushed back from his forehead. f "I am not one of the repenting kind," whe retorted. "If it were to be done over again, and I had the hope of winnin{ your love, Percy, I would do all that have done; you cannot call that repentâ€" ance, and that is the end of it. No power can tempt, me to restore to your arms the rival who has won your love from me. I do not care what is done with me. J do not care whether I spend my life in a palace or a prieon. Tell the whole world that I epirited away your love, if you will; you can take whai acâ€" tion against me you please. I shall still have the satisfaction of knowing you are not giving my hated rival the love and caresses which should have been mine." _ He saw plainly that Evelyn had the best of the «ituation, and meant to keep it, come what might. _ o ts _ Percy Granville buried his face in his hands with a bitter groan. .

MAan ds _‘‘But, surely, what you are pleased to call love, Evelyn, would never drive you to the commission of crime," he replied one and all; now I have come to you myself. Would it be of any use to kneel_ to you, to implore you to be merciful?

CHAPTER XXXVI The badges referred to are small maple leaves of metal which can be pinned on the clothing, and the acâ€" count given by Mr. Blackford of the way in which the Indians received them is interesting. He writes:â€" "One and all were very much pleased with the badges given them. They pinned them in all sorts of places on their clothing, where each one‘s fancy thought the most conspicuous place. One man would not take his badge until he had first washed himself and changed his shirt, and then the badge was used as a collarâ€"button or brooch. Hats and shirts were the favorite spots for adornment, but not a few, after â€" carefully polishing them, would fold them in cloth to keep them for some special occasion. A great percentage of them feel that they are thus, after receiving the badge from the Government, conâ€" stituted minor chiefs andâ€" guardians of the forest." â€" "We Indians appreciate the work the Government is doing to prevent forest fires in our district. We pledge ourselves to do all we can to help. We promise to put out our own campâ€"fires every time before leaving camp. _ We accept the badges given by the Government as a pledge." n o In the summer of 1911 Mr. J. T. Blackford, chief fireâ€"ranger of the Northern â€" Manitoba _ fireâ€"ranging district, spoke to the Indians of several bands and induced them to promise to help to prevent fires. In some cases he got them to sign the following pledge :â€" Keewatin Indians Pledged to Heip Protect Forests, Volunteer firemen have on inâ€" numerable occasions done yeoman service in protecting life and proâ€" perty endangered by fire in the towns and villages, and even the cities, of the settled part of Canâ€" ada. In the reâ€"awakening of the public to the danger and loss caused by forest fires volunteer fireâ€" men have again been brought into service. R The volunteers in this case are Indians living in the district beâ€" tween Lake Winnipeg and the Hudâ€" son Bay, in the area traversed by the Nelson River through, or near, which the Hudson Bay Railway will run. "What a pity we do not know who she is," she exclaimed, gazing admiringly on the waxen face, framed in soft, curling locks. ‘"It‘s a shame we cannot let her people know she is alive and wellâ€"of course they are mourning her as dead, poor pretty child." & "After a few hours‘ rest she will come to, and be able to give us their address, and they can be sent for," predicted the professor; but in this he was wrong. (To be continued ) ‘‘Why not t‘ ‘‘Because youa never bring home any prizes." Of course it was clearly out of the question to send her to a hospital under the cireumstancesâ€"the only way out of the affair was to take her to his own home. A And this plan he executed without de ay. He exglained the embarrassing situaâ€" tion to his wife, who received the lovely stranger with open arms. Gay clung to him in terror, begging him piteously to tell ber where she was, and why she was broughr. there; but before he could answer er, exhausted nature had asserted itself and she fell back in his arms in a deep swoon, that resembled death closely enough. § "Here‘s a pretty affair!‘ exclaimed the professor, nervously; "what in the world is to be done with her? Not a lineâ€"noâ€" thing about her gives a clew as to her identity !" The professzor had comprehended the sitâ€" uation in a eingle ivstant; the girl had fallen into a trance, and had been brought to them under the eupposition that she was dead. He sprung forward with a low ery, liftâ€" ed Gay to her feet, and before she had time to glance around the ghastly room into which she had been brought, had hurried her to another apartment. __ "Oh, I remember, I remember," she cried out sharply, "he would not release me from that borrible place, and I made up my mind to die.". hoib Up flew the little white hands to her breast, into which she had plunged the glender silver dagger, as though she exâ€" pected to find it there ‘still. _ ® "I tried to end my life, I fell at his feet with the darkness of death closing in around me.

The electric current had shattered to atomse the marâ€" ble receptacle upon which Gay‘s form had been placed, and from the debris Gay slowly struggled up to a sitting posture, ‘uing‘ around her with a bewildered, piteâ€" ous air. _ Then a shriek of mortal terror rent the air.

When seared hold a little farther away from the fire. â€" Turn occasionally on the skin side, but be careful, as it readily scorches.

Broiled Steak.â€"Trim off any exâ€" cess of fat and wipe with a damp cloth. Rub the broiler with a bit of fat. Arrange the thickest part of the steak toward the back of the broiler. At first hold close to the coals. Turn every 10 seconds until both sides are well seared, then turn each half minute. â€" A steak one inch thick will broil in from four to six minutes if liked rare ; a little longer if preferred well done. When half done season both sides with salt and pepper. Let a spoonâ€" ful of butter melt on the hot platâ€" ter. Hold the steak for a half minâ€" ute over paper to let sooty fat drip off. Lay on the platter and turn once that both sides may be butâ€" tered. In turning or lifting the meat if a fork is stuck into it the juices will flow out and be wasted; if necesâ€" sary to use the fork it should be stuck in the fat. When sufficiently cooked the meat will be slightly puffy in the centre, and if pressed with the blade of a knife it will feel firm but not hard. When cut it should be pink and juicy ; it purâ€" ple it is still raw ; if dry and brown it is overâ€"cooked. In winter, or when the meat has been taken from the ice immediately before cooking, a little longer time must be allowed in which to attain the proper temâ€" perature. To remove match marks from paint, rub first with a slice of leâ€" mon, then with whiting and wash with soap and water. Blankets, after being washed and dried thoroughly, should be well beaten with a carpet beater. _ In broiling the fire should be the first consideration ; it should be alâ€" most bright red, and should be near the top of the fire box. A bed of hard wood coals, charcoal or coke is better than coal, as there is less flame, therefore less danger of smoking the meat; a shovelful of either of the latter may be added to a coal fire with the desired reâ€" sult. Broiled meat may be smoked from two causesâ€"the coal flame condensing on the cooler surface of the meat will deposit a film of coal tar, while the fat flame will cover the meat with a thin Jlayer of burned fat.

Home Hints. How to Broil. TORONTO The measurement of the pulseâ€" like vibrations is made much the same as that of an earthquake, and almost as accurately. The marvelâ€" lously delicate instruments which are depended upon for these reâ€" cords trace curious pulsing lines, which show at a glance just how wide an are the building swings through, and how regular is the reâ€" currence of the movement. These readings are accepted in court as absolutely conclusive, and it is not uncommon for damage suits involyâ€" ing immense sums of money to be decided by these delicate tracings. Public opinion is all wrong, or nearly so, as to the amplitude of tho vibrations of buildings A4both large and small, Everyone has felt such vibrations, but one‘s sensaâ€" tions are apt to be very misleading. It is a surprise to many that the most violent vibrations are not felt in the extremely high buildings, as is commonly ‘supposed, but in the comparatively low office buildings, and, as a rule, those of solid conâ€" struction. A vibration of threeâ€" sixteenths of an inch is extremely violent, for a movement of oneâ€"hunâ€" dredth of an inch is readily noticeâ€" able. As the records show. there is By day or night a modern city is never wholly at rest. A hundred disturbing factors are constantly setting up curious vibrations which travel in every direction. The tracâ€" ing out of these vibrations and their accurate measurements is a new problem among builders, which has a peculiar interest for the layâ€" men as well.

Incidentally, the problem is so well understood that accidents from exâ€" cessive vibration are practically unâ€" heard of. The cradle may rock, but it never falls.
