Old Ben Tyndall's eyes glistened. "Pretty careless to cart stuff like that around, ain't it?" "I wouldn't take fifty thousand for the treasures in my own trunk," Lola said, wistfully. "It's very, very precious to "Just keepsakes," explained her father. "Girls are sentimental." But Lindsay's glance caught and held hers this time, and he saw the color rise slowly In her cheeks. "I think you lost the real treasure trunk, Miss Lola," he said, slowly.

"I'm mighty glad I found it but I was coming back to Moose Trail anyway." Tommy leaned across the table confidentially. "Sis said she thought you would. She told me about you on the way home, and said she hoped she'd see you again some time." "Tom!" flashed Lola. "Don't!" Lindsay's eyes gleamed with happiness, and also pure boyish fun. "Well, I'm here," he said, meaningly, "and I'm going to stay." The old man had risen and left the room.

Tommy went also, presently, and the two were alone. He waited, hut she did not speak. "Do you mind?" he asked, finally. "Mind what?" "My staying here." "What have I got to say about it?" "Everything you know that." She hesitated, trying not to look at him, and when her answer came he had to bend his head to hear it It was very demure, very impersonal, and yet It told him what he wanted to know. "I'm glad you found your trunk here at Moose 'Trail." "So am I bless it," he laughed, and Lola was silent Feather and fortress RENOVATING xoung Women's Christian Association and Misa Freda Cordes, who taught swimming at the Twentieth Century Club last summer.

He crossed the room, and banged down the cover of the trunk, knocking out one photograph on the floor. As he stooped for it, he saw it was she herself, and underneath was written, "With love always, Lola." "It's a mix-up in checks. I know where mine went," he explained. "Don't get fussed up. and report it, now.

Give me half a chance to make the change." "And help you cover up the chance yon took, a loss of $60,000 while you chased up a girl." 'It a He, understand. I never chased her. I wanted to badly enough, but I came through to deliver the goods to you straight Now I'm going back and find her, and I'll ship the trunk to you by express, but you let me alone for a few days." 'It's a girl case, then? 'It's going to be a case of mar riage if I can find her," blurted out the youngster. "I don't even know her last name, but I'm going back to find out." He landed in Moose Trail late that night and routed out the sleepy ticket agent Before he let him go, he had the name of the girl and where she lived. Also, he had found his trunk standing carelessly in one corner of the dinky little express office, and had been told she bad discovered the mistake, and left it there to be claimed.

He ordered it sent on to Bidford, and went out into the moonlit night grinning happily. Two miles over the hill road, the second house upon the mountain side above the dam. He walked it quick ly, the cool, keen air bracing his nerves. When he came in sight of the houBe, the whole humor of the chase swept over him. He could not waken her, a total stranger, and say he loved her, and had followed her there fh the middle of the night So it happened that when Tommy Tyndall came along at sunrise, he found a stranger leaning comtortamy on the bars smiling at him.

He had business with Miss Tyndall, he said, about her trunk. Tommy's eyes danced at that. She'B awful mad about it" he vouch safed. But Lindsay tasted a bit of the sweets of revenge, when he told at the breakfast table an hour later, how he had picked up the wrong check. Buffalo, Saturday, May 18, 1912.

By GERALDINE CASE. Copyright. 1312, by Associated Literary Press. It was entirely Lindsay's fault. Ag he waited for the trunk check, he forgot everything in the world except the face of the girl beside him.

It had been years since he had even believed such faces still existed. Now, all he could do was stand like any other beauty struck male, and stare at it hungrily. She was not over twenty, a slender flower of a girl, with satin waves of sunny hair framing in her tender, wistful face. She lifted her long lashes just once, and he caught a flash of eyes blue as June skies, blue as the long-stemmed, Maytime violets he remembered picking along the edge of woodland brooks when he a boy. Then he remembered that he had Just exactly three minutes to beat time down the concourse and catch the Northwest express.

He caught up the check, and hesitated another instant. She was already tucking her own check into a little suede handbag, and he realized, as she hurried on ahead of htm, that Bhe was actually going on the same train. He had checked his heavy leather ultcase. That left him free to run, but he waited for her, and they passed through the gate together, the last to take the train. Down the long narrow platform they both hurried, and he helped her up the steps as she chose a certain car.

And after that he lost her. She found a seat, one already partially occupied, and he had to go on, hunting one for himself. The train was crowded with tourists, in the day coaches. It was warm and sultry. He finally found a place to hang his hat, but when he sat down under it, and looked back, she was not there.

The train had reached the Mon-1 tana boundary Hne before he deliberately started In to make a thorough Bearch of the whole train, and found her, very cool and happy, in the parlor car. There was an empty seat nearby, and he got a check from the conductor for it. So far it was satisfying to him simply to watch her profile and the droop of her long lashes. I It was desperate, but his only chance to find out anything about her. He slipped a dollar bill to the porter, and put it up to him to make inquiries.

"Through ticket to Moose Trail, Bah," came back the answer in due time. Lindsay scowled, and nodded. He was bound for Trent, three hours' journey past Moose Trail. She would step off into the embrace of these everlasting mountains and he would never see her again. If it had been any other time, he would have taken a chance, and left the train with her; but he couldn't The firm trusted him.

In the suitcase was over $10,000 worth of gold watches. In the small trunk he had checked at the same time there were jewels 'and gold chains, bracelets, trinkets of all kinds, all due to arrive at Trent that day to connect with the western salesman, Bldford. He was intrusted with their safe delivery. But yet, if he only knew her name, could only throw out some connecting line of interest so that she would remember him, so that he might find her again. A hundred ways occurred and he put them away from his mind.

She left the train at Moose Trail, and not once had he held even her gaze. There was a boy waiting to meet her, and he saw her bend her head to kiss him. From the open window he heard the boy Bay: "Hello, Lola!" All the rest of the journey the singing rails hummed the name to him, Lola. Before the week was up he would be back there at Moose Trail, turning the surrounding country upside, down until he had found Lola and that freckled kid. Bidford was at the hotel when he arrived.

It was nearly dinner time, and he was hungry, but the older salesman insisted on getting the trunk and suitcase up from the depot first, and looking over their contents. Lindsay handed over his checks, and plunged into a bath, vhen the porter brought up the baggage, Bldford called out to blm to hand out his "What sort of a fancy watch charm do you call this trunk, Bnyhow, Alt" he added, carelessly. "It's all to the good," came back Lindsay's voice, muffled In a Turkish towel. "Got it In Chicago; stand anything, fireproof, burglar proof, bomb proof." A deep rumble of laughter from old Bldford startled him. He slipped into pujamas, and came out into the room.

On the bed lay the suitcase, open. On the floor was a little yellow steamer trunk, very new, very lightly made, very feminine. The lock was a simple one. Bldford had found a key that opened It. and now he threw back the cover of the till A mass of girlish belongings lay exposed to view.

Above all a delicate, impalpable emanation of perfume, perfume that haunted Lindsay, and roused memories of something somewhere. He could not grasp the s-onnectlon at first, and suddenly It came to hlra.

Farrell lives at 114 Congress avenue. Flushing, and hig case has attracted the attention of many physicians. Twenty years ago, while Mr. Farrell was working at his trade as a stonecutter, a small piece of steel from the end of the tool with which he was working broke off and flew Into his eye. He consulted a physician and every effort was made to extricate the steel, which was annoying him constantly.

Finally the pain ceased and the Incident was forgotten. A few days ago Mr. Farrell felt a burning sensation in the side of his neck, and as the feeling became more pronounced he went to a physician, who found the piece of steel lodged in bis neck.
