'Remarkable as it might seem, these two loved eaah other fondly, and one day tbe lust to- wander died In tbe man's heart, and he wanted a roof . over his head, children about bis knee and money In bis purse. Wben the, opportunity to go bunting for gold ; earn he hesitated not an Instant j He had been hammering away at the t glim, unyielding rocks for eight months, making only such trips to town as were necessary for food. Per- ' hspe the rabble extracted represented thousand dollars, perhaps less. He , was discouraged. ' " One day he staggered out Into the brilliant sunshine. A lump of quarts Was clutched tightly In bis band. Wben be grew accustomed to tho das sling light he turned tha stoue over and over, his heart beating as It bud never beaten before. There wero veins In It-bread flakes of it gold, gold, fold! "Donovan! Donovan!" he cried. Tbe old Irish prospector came out of his hole, blinking. , -I've got It! ITe got it!" Donovan snatched the quarts from the band of his friend. "Holy Virgin! Ve've struck It! If It's all like that ye're a rich man. ' Man, man, there's a hundred dollurs la that lump alone!" .' Trainor collspsed on a pile of worth ' leas rubble and laid his head on bis arms. He bad done It all In these few months. He was rich, rich! And all Ida dreams were going to como true! The Irishman gaaed dowu at him rue fully, but philosophically. I "Aa me that's been proapverin' twen ty years an' ain't hit my pile yett Well, God blesa ye, man.

Sliu looked a bit tired and euro worn. The old miner, having had but little to do with women folk, was not able to dlcorn under the richly yollow glare of the lamps tho air of distinc tion which marked Mlml Trainor ns different from her kind. The Keene family had come from good stock, but bad fullen In evil days. , Sho ran in stantly to the baby. "Here's a man from John, Mlml," raid the brother carelessly.' The young woman rushed over to Donovan ami begun mhaklng tilt hnmln. How was her man? Hud lie struck It riehl Did he want her to quit und go to him T ' iHmovan began to swallow with dif ficulty. How was bo going to tell her? lie wanted to run a,way. He could now readily understand why Trainor had always talked of Mlml, Mlml. Mlml, until his Celtic ears had tired of the wiiiio. Slu was a good wife and a good mother for all that she wus a circus performer. And here he wns, aiming to break her heurt! Still, there was a bit of cynicism In lib makeup. The new fortune might coiiMole her. But it did not. On tho contrary, when, half an hour after learning of the death of the man she loved, she mounted the wire, a vertigo Retted her, she ltmt her Imlnnee and fell, and by the time the men hud laid away the big top she wns dead. For the first time In 111 wandering, futile life Frank Keeno felt his throat contract and unhidden moisture All his eyes. After n fashion he hnd loved bis clean miiuUil, loyal little winter, and now she wa gone, leaving him with a baby on his hands, more adept in deal lug from the bottom of tho deck thuu from the top. "How much is the mine worth?" he anked when the xlinple fuuornt was over. "Lord knows." said Donovan. "But it's th' blguettt strike In twenty years. But it's golii' to b, tied up till tills lit tle chick's eighteen. Don't you worry, though. Th' lawyers 'II see to it that ye git enough t' take care o' th' child, eddieate it an all that" "What's the name of the mine?" "Sumo us the klildle's-Zudora." The two separated, never to meet ipiln. The years passed. Keene dabbled In sli manner of shady trades and ttnully set up as a Hindu mystic, a swamL He, told fortunes, did crystal gueliig, resurrected souls and ss s byproduct flayed detective with more or less suc cess. He rarely practiced this latter game execpt among his favored gulls, ii was a simple matter to Instruct some of his confederates to rob certain of his clients, it was equally a simple matter to recover the stoleu objects for a suitable reward. Keene eventu ally became known to the cult as Has atm All, aud under that uume bis fame grew. The checks from the Zudora were now applied wholly to the wel fare of his niece. Tim child grew. Her education be gan. frbe gave promise of great beau ty, even In the lank and gawky age. lliisKimi All hail begun to love gold, tin- bright, shining metal not In tbe u but met, but in tho concrete. To touch It with his fingers wus trunsiKirt No symphony of Bach's was half so fine as the chluk-chlnk of the coins, tho eagle and the double coglo as they fell u Kin each other, slipping from his hamlx. From hor fifteenth birthday up to her eighteenth Zudora noted a subtle change in tho manner of her uncle II; became coldly aloof, rarely touch ed her aCtuctlouutely, was moody and taciturn. Familiar us sho was with all the paraphernalia of the mystic, she still retained unbounded faith In her uncle's towers. Indeed, be wna a hypuotfHt of unusual power and was roughly skilled In the science of medi cines. Zudora hnd practiced tho for mor art until she wns almost as prof) dent as her master. It never occurred to her that her tiucle's means of exist ence wero unethical and generally those of a cheat Famous nctressc and society women vinlted him, and not a few notable bankers and flnan clers enmo to him for advice. But ths general public bold Hassnm Ali In tol era nt contempt aud the police with no little suspicion. The inncs shrine of this equivocal temple wus dmied with black velvet, and there wero secret doors about which even Zudora knew nothing. There was the inevitable dais and be fore this n huge crystal globe in which Hassam AU saw tho past and the fu ture us revealed by bis victim. It was easy to draw the post, and it was not difficult to draw the future. Tho future in this globe wns nearly always what the victim wished; hence the popularity of Hassam Ali, late of the Eclipse circus, faker and curd sharp, chief of a band of most clever and in geiilous criminals. And Zudora wun dered in aud out of this iniquitous muxe as a wild dove might have flown over pestilential swamp, untouched and unknown. As the miser grew stronger in ITas. sum Ali the evil thought previously rufurtvd tq hecniuo inoro and more In sistent. Zudora must die. When he faced this Inevitability for the first time ho was genuinely horrliled. Ho was her uncle; her mother hail been his sister; the girl was his hYsh aud blood. But the constant recurrence of an evil desire gradually lessens tbe abhorrence of it. Today In Hassam All's mlml there remained no shreds of eompunetkui, only a dcslro to na compiisn i no ieea winiout m any manner directing suspicion toward him. So to this one object he now turned the brilliant powers of his ab- normaly evil mind. Zudora must die. Hut how? In a few dnys she would be eighteen. On that day sho would become enor mously rich. He must rid himself of her liefore she hud time to appreciate what the power of money meant. But how? In what subtle, cunning man begged M b allowed to use' bar powera , out the faculty of suatalned reasoning, today Zudora tried ii "on the- green of logical deduction.

And there was auotlier obstacle rising slow- youthful and beautiful face raised to ward bisowu. His fingers unconscious ly crept Into tbe girl's hair, a trifle too strongly for an affectionate gesture. "What is it?" Bhe asked, drawing bei head away quickly. "A touch of rheumatism In my arm," be suld intuitively. "Vou know it gives me a tw Inge ouco in so often. 8o you ure eighteen years old?" "Aud you said that on this day I wag to come into a fortune." "That Is true. How much do you think it Is?" "Oh, perhaps $00,000." "Is It lost?" she asked. "No, my child. It Is the terrible re sponsibility which is ubout to rest upon your young shoulders that makes me sud. Tomorrow morning your law yers will inform you that you are one of the richest heiresses in America." "Uncle, don't make fun of me!" "I am telling you the truth. To date Zudora has turned out something like $20,000,000. It was the express will of your father to have this kept quiet so that you would not be bothered with fortune hunters. Girl, yon will marry a duke or a prince. You will become a fumous beauty. But my advice is this: That until my guardianship ceases you will bo twenty-one then you will say nothing to any one about this fortune. It would make life un bearable for us both." "I'll gladly agree to that" she said eagerly. "Whenever you require a large sum of money you will write the attorneys, and they will send it Think of the no toriety, the busy reporters, the broken down nobles. Indigent society folk! She laughed nt tbe picture. He was right If she desired, peace and com fort she must keep this fortune away from the public eye. "Zudora, there is one pleasant fancy you must henceforth put entirely out of your mind." "And what is that?' "This fancy for John Storm. For all that you have inherited this vast sum of money, you are still under my guardianship for three years, What Zudora would have replied to this half veiled demand will never be known. The bell rang, and shortly after that John Storm himself was ushered into the room. Hassam All nodded coldly, but the girl sprang to greet her lover. "How's the cuse spins?" she asked. "Brotty well. I fhink I shall win out against Bienrelth." "He hates you." "No doubt of It. no'd like nothing better than to stick a knife In iny back." Hassam All's eyes narrowed. An Idea bad come to him. "Mr. Keene," said Storm suddenly, "I know I have my way to make, but I can assure you that I can give Zu- doru all the material comforts she baa known. I want Zudora for my wife." j "It is impossible," replied Hasuani All. Impossible!" echoed the two young people. "Absolutely," with growing coldness. In the first place I am Zudora'a guardian until she la twenty-one Therefore I do not propose tbat shs ahull throw herself away on an ordi nary lawyer." "Sir," said Storm, "I do not quite like the tone you use." Indeed! Young man, I am not only I her guardian, but I am also her flesh and blood uncle, and I do not propose that she shall bungle her future by a marriage to you." Not a word about the millions. Zu dora thought bard for a moment and concluded it might be wise to say nothing to her lover until she had this fortune under her hand. "What if I promise never to marry any one else?" she said. Hassam All shrugged. "Come, come; be sensible. Until you. both get over this foolish idea I must request that Mr. Storm cease calling here." Very well, sir," said Storm angrily. "But 1 warn you that I shnll see Zu dora outside as often as she Is kind enough to permit me. Good evening." Storm scut Zudora a reassuring smile ss be left the room. "What in the world have you against John?" cried Zudora bewilderedly. "I do not propose to see you support a fortune hunter," rather lamely.

And Hassam All found a way to dis pose of John Storm. And Zudora thought she had found a way to save him. Shs found him in the cellar, bravely trying to hit a bulls-! eye target, it would have been laugh- able under any other circumstance. Ho was not to be swerved, however. And when she threatened him with the po- lice he laughed. Ho knew the police of old. They would refuse to take tha affair seriously. Storm laid down his revolver and took a drink Of water. Then he picked up the revolver and began pegging away. Unobserved, sho drugged the drinking water. There would be no duel that night.

Let us see If you can handle if Zudora, having a double incentive, ran over to the dead man. On the floor she found a scarfpln, some small change, and she noticed that Ills collar hung by the rear button. I She hurriedly wrapped these three ar ticles in her handkerchief. The pecul iar green spots on this collar had aroused her curiosity. j She was very unhappy. Tho drug she had given her lover hnd not put him to sleep. It had merely sent him wandering about the streets through-' out the night in a biank state of mind. ' He would not bo able to account for his time, and she might plead in vain that she had given htm a sleeping po tion to keep him in bis bonso until all chance to fight Bienrelth wns gone. Several days passed. Storm moped in his cell. Truth to tell, he wasn't sure that he hadn't killed his enemy. From the moment Zudora left him until he found himself in jail he could remember nothing. When she told bim what she had done he smiled ond forgavo her. "But you got me Into a pretty pickle, ' little girl, and you'll have to get me' out of if "I win."
