. Kirby knew the patience, the steadi-i mess, and the kindliness of his friend, Esther had fallen into the best of} hands. She would find again the joy 0f life. He had no doubt of that. Gayety and laughter were of herl heritage. He said as much to Rose on the way home. She agreed. For the first timel “We’ve got it all fixed up to tell how we was married when I come down to Denver last April only we kep’ it quiet because she wanted to hold her job awhile,” Cole explained to his friend. “Onct I get her back there in God’s hills she'li sure enough forget all about this trouble. The way I look at it she was jus’ like a li’l kid that takes a mis-step in the dark an’ falls an' hurts itself. You know how a wounded deer can look at a fellow'so sorrowful an’ hurt. Well, tha”s how her brown eyes looked at me when I come round the corner 0' the house up Platte Canon an’ seen her sittin’ there starin’ at hell.” : Kirby shook hands with him in a sudden stress of emotion. “ You’ll do to take along, old alkali, you sure; enou h will.” , “ , shucks!” retorted Cole, be-‘ tween disgust and embarrassment. “I always claimed to be a white man,’ didn’t I? You can’t give a fellow credit for doin’ the thing he’d rather do than anything else. But prod a peg in this. I’m gonna make that li’l’ girl plumb happy. She thinks she; won’t be, that she’s lost the right to: be. She’s ’way off. I can see her erkin’ up already. I got a real augh outa her this mo’nin‘.” i The sisters wept in each other's arms and then passed together into Esther-'5 bedroom for an intimate talk. The younger sister was still happy only in moments of forgetful- ness, though she had been rescued from death in life. Cole had found her comfortably situated at a farm- house a mile or two back from the canon. She had gone there under the urge of her need, at the instigation of James Cunningham, who could not afford to have the scandal of his re- lations with her become public at the same time as the announcement of his marriage to Phyllis -Harriman. The girl loved Cole and trusted him. Her heart went out to him in a warm glow of gratitude. But the shadow of her fault was a barrier in her mind between them, and would be long;’ after his kindness had melted the ice, inflher bosom. .

Until You Try We would be greatly pleased, therefore, if you would inâ€" dicate your friendbr feeling toward TRUE ROMANCES and your confidence in it by petitioning the Commissioner of Customs, Ottawa, Canada, that such reinstatement be made. At the foot of this announcement is a brief form of petition provided for your convenience. Will you not sign it tic-day and mail it to E. J. Blackley, 130 Richmond St. West, Toronto, who will present it together with the large number of similar petitions to the Commissioner of Customs as soon as they are all in. Magazines are barred from Canada because of com- plaints registered against them. We find, however, that adverse critics of our publications rarely read them. From the title and general appearance they sometimes class them with publications which depend entirely upon their sale through lascivious appeal. As a. reader of this publication you know that the magazines we publish are not of that character. We regret very much to inform our Canadian friends that our magazine, TRUE ROMANCES, has been barred i‘ by t1_1e_ custom or post-office officials.

Esther’s problem had been solved far more happily than she had dared to hope. “I’m goin’ to have a gay time apolo- gizin’ to Jack,” said Kirby, his eyes dancing. “It’s not so blamed funny at that, but I can’t help laughin’ every time I think of how he must ’a’ been grinnin’ up his sleeve at me for my fool mistake. I’ll say he brought it on himself, though. He was feelin’ gLilty on his brother’s account, an’ I didn’t get his embarrassment right. James is a pretty cool customer. From first to last he never turned a hair when the subject was mentioned.” “What about him?” Rose asked. The cattleman pretended alarm. “Now, don’t you,” he remonstrated. “Don’t you expect me to manhandle James, too. I’m like Napoleon.

When I went there I didn’t know that. either Cun- ningham or Hull lived next door. That’s a God’s truth. I didn’t. Well, I saw Hull go in there the very day I got to town, but the first I knew yore uncle lived there was ten or may- be fifteen minutes before he was kill- ed. I wouldn’t say but what it was twenty minutes, come to that. I wasn’t payin’ no attention to time." Olson’s eyes challenged those of his host. His suspicion was still smold- ering.

He sat down in a big easyâ€"chair an’ took a paper from his ocket. It looked like some kind of a egal docu- ment. He read it through, then stuck it in one o’ the cubby-holes of his desk. I forgot to say he was smokin’, an’ not a stogie like I was, but a big cigar he’d unwrapped from silver paper after takin’ it from a boxful.” “He lighted the cigar after coming into the small room,” Kirby said, in the yoice at _a guestion. “Yes.

When I couldn’t stand it any longer, I went out into the corridor an’ down it to the fire escape outside the window. It was a lot cooler there.
