One night last June Smith dropped
to sleep In a railway car on the “Owl
train" en route from Los Aageles to
San Francisco. The next morning, a*
he thought he awoke in a strange
room. Rubbing his eyes he gazed
about him. It was a sordid room,, un
like any he was accustomed to in
habit. He arose and lifted the cur
tain. The country he looked on was
unlike anything he had seen In Cal
ifornia. Descending the stairs he
found himself among people as unfa
miliar as his surroundings. They talk
ed English but with a foreign accent.
“Where am I?” asked Smith, ad
dressing one of the men.
“Where are you?" reiterated the
stranger. “Well, you must have been
among good company last night.
You're In New South Wales, of course.
Where did you expect to be?” !
“What month Is this?" was the next
question Smith put. The company
gazed at him in amazement.
“You look sane enough.” was the
reply, “but you ask Idiotic questions
This is December. Would you like
to have It altered?"
Half a year hah elapsed since Smith!

In that time he had crossed half the
globe. When he told his story his

for his pains. So he tramped to Syd

In the capital he looked up the la
bor council and narrated his experi
ence to union men. They Investigat
ed and found he was what h$ repre
sented himself to be. They arranged
for his return to America, securing a
passage for him on the Siberia.
The first letter 8mlth received from

news of the death of his wife.—San

j neither spoke; then all the pent up
Jealousy and rago broke forth in the
lover.
"How dure you patut her, making her
name and face alike common?"
“Who are you?" Inquired Clay coolly.
"I speak as mun to man," replied the
otner. “Sho’a nothing but a child, for
all her years. Leave her alone."
"I think I’ve helped her," remarked
Clay. * .
“Do you love her?” demanded Keith
Adams. “Are you going to marry her?”
“What business is it of yours?"
The half smile in the artist's eye
maddened Keith, and be gripped him

content that dimmed the girl’s real
beauty. “How about that one?” indi

among the trees.
"I live there. It’s no worse than the

“It has attractions that the others
lack.” he declared gallantly, but the
compliment flew wide of It* aim. “Wll*

brier. It took a good deal to discour

tion. He would paint now us before he
only dreamed of doing. Ou the mor
row he would sketch the girl from
memory—her pose and colorlug were
photographed on his brain—and then
go to work on the background.
But as the week passed be found
himself no nearer his object. Winona,
who now conversed on ordinary top
ics, was dumb when he advanced the
picture, nor did be gain In her confi
dence regarding her personal affairs.
It waa from her mother. Mrs. Eager,
that he learned the facts.
Previous to her aunt’s death Winona
bad “kept company"—the local phras
ing for courtship—with Keith Adams,
but there bad been no formal engage
ment for which fact the mother now
rejoiced, as with her Improved pros
pects the girl might do mhcb better.
Mrs. Eager herself had privately ad
ministered some broad hint* to the as
piring farmer, which he bad apparent
ly accepted. Did Winona care? Well,
•he supposed that Winona thought she
did, but she was young enough to have
a dozen fancies before coming Into con
trol of her money. It wa* her duty to
marry well and help her brothers and
sisters.
“I'm told you arenot ambitious," re
marked Clay that evening, causing Wi
nona to flare op unexpectedly.
“I want nothing bat to be let alone.

"Why, they're red aa a cherry, John,"
was her astonished reply.
Neither he nor his brother Jonathan
could see anything but drab In the
stockings, and they rested In the belief
that the good wife’s eyes were oat of or
der until she, having consulted various
neighbors, returned with the verdict,
“Varra fins stuff, but uncommon sear-

The consequence was that John Dal

Mr. Mor. iuu r had also placed Winston
in charge of any valuables there might

combination to the vault that bad been
built for their safe keeping. I was
»:Vher surprised at this, for Winston,
though thoroughly honest, seemed to
me to lack that shrewdness necessary
to such a guurdlauship.

Oue day It was nuuouuced that un
older duughter of Mr. Mortimer by a
former wife was coming home from
Europe and her father was to go to
meet her on the arrival of the steamer.
I laid « plan to possess my sapphire.
