The Treasure Trunk. By GERALDINE CASE. Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.

It was entirely Lindsay's fault. As 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 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 WAS a boy.

Then he remembered that he had just exactly three minutes to beat time down the concourse and catch the Northwest restratede caught up check, and another instant. She was already tucking her own checks into a little, suede realized, hurried on ahead of him, that she was actually going on the same train. He had checked his heavy leather suitcase. That left him free to run, but he waited for her, and they the last to take the train. passed through gate progether, 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 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 reached the Montana boundary line before he deliberately started In to make a thorough search 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. It was desperate, but his only to out anything about chance, slipped a dollar bill to the porter, and put it up to him to make inquiries.

"Through ticket to Moose Trail, 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 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, Bidford. 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.

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 say: "Hello, Lola!" All the rest of the the journey the singing rails hummed the the the the the the the the 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. When the porter brought up the baggage, Bidford called out to him to hand out his keys.

"What sort of a fancy watch charm do you call this trunk, anyhow, Al?" he added, carelessly. "It's all 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 Bidford startled him. He slipped into pajamas, 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. Bidford 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 oft somethingsomewhere, He could not grasp the connection at first, and suddenly it came to him.

As he had stood beside her at the baggage counter he had caught the same subtle whiff of perfume, of woodland violets, from the girl from Moose Trail. the pride, Al?" asked Bid- MY LADY'S MIRROR HENRY IV.

and it without decoration, ford, chuckling. "I never suspected you of this, old man. Let's lift up the tray." "No, you don't," shut off. Lindsay. 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 fussed up, and report it, now. Give me half a chance to make the change." "And help you cover up the chance you took, a loss of $60,000 while you chased up a girl." "It's a lie, 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 marriage 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 had 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 hill road, the second house upon the mountain side above the dam. He walked it quickly, the cool, keen air bracing his nerves. When he came in sight of the house, the whole humor of the chase swept over him. He could not waken her, a total stranger, and say he loved her, and followed her there in the middle of the night.

So it happened that when Tommy Tyndall came along at sunrise, comfortably he found a stranger leaning on the bars smiling at him. He had business with Miss Tyndall, he said, about her trunk. Tommy's eyes danced that. "She's awful mad about it," he vouchsated. 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, and had nearly lost $50,000 worth of jewels.

Old Ben Tyndall's eyes glistened. "Pretty careless to, cart stuff like that around, ain't "I wouldn't take fifty thousand for the treasures in my own trunk," Lola said, wistfully. "It's very, very precious to me." "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." 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, meaning.

ly, "and going to stay." The old man had risen and left the room. Tommy went also, presently, and the two were alone. He waited, but 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.

She tells us of Constantine's command to the assembled bishops of Nicea to write out the Nicean creed, which all Christiana say today; and of the wars of Attila, King of the Huns, and of Alaric, King of Goths.

Farrell lives at 114 Congress avenue, Flushing, and his 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.
