CHAPTER X—Continued.
—23—
He found her done up In an apron
and a dust-cap cleaning house with as-
tonishing spirit. She and the Bridget,
who had recently been substituted for
Mathilde, were merry. Bridget was
sitting on the sill, her upper half shut
out, her round, brick-colored face
laughing through the pane she was
polishing. Jane was up a ladder, dust-
ing books.
She came down to greet Morena,
and he saw regretfully the sad change
in her face and bearing which his ar-
rival caused. Bridget was sent to the
kitchen. Jane made apologies, and sit-
ting on the ladder step she looked up
at him with the look of some one who
expects a blow.
“What is it now, Mr. Morena? Have
the lawyers begun to—”
He had purposely kept her in the
dark, purposely neglected her, left her
to loneliness in the hope of furthering
the purposes of Prosper Gael.
“I haven’t come to discuss that,
Jane. Soon I hope to have good news
for you. But today I’ve come to give
you a hint—a warning, in fact—to
prepare you for what I am sure will
be a shock.”
“Yes?” She was flushed and breath-
ing fast. Her fingers were busy with
the feather-duster on her knee and her
eyes were still waiting.
“I had a visitor this morning—Pierre
Landis of Wyoming.”
She rose, came to him and clutched
his arm. “Pierre? Pierre?” She
looked around her, wild as a captured
bird. “Oh, I must go ! I must go!”
“Jane, my child”—he put his arm
about her. held her two hands in his—
“you must do nothing of the kind. If
you don’t want this Pierre to find you,
if you don’t warn him to come into
your life, there’s an easy, a very
simple way to put an end to his pur-
suit. Don’t you know that?”
She stared up at him, quivering in
his arm. “No. What is it? How can
I? Oh, he mustn’t see me! Never,
never, never! I made that promise
to myself.” ♦
“Jane, you say yourself that you are
changed, that you are not the girl he
wants to find.”
She shook her head desolately
enough. “Oh, no, I’m not.”
“He isn’t sure that Jane West is
the woman he’s looking for. He’s fol-
lowing the faintestj the most doubt-
ful of trails. He heard of you from
Yarnall; the description of you and
your sudden flight made him fairly
sure that it must be—you—’ Jasper
laughed. “I’m talking quite at ran-
dom in a sense, because I haven’t a
notion, my dear, who you are nor what
this Pierre has been in your life. If
you could tell me—”
She shook her head. “No,” she said;
“no.”
Very well. Then I’ll have to go on
talking at random. Jane at the Lazy-Y
ranch was a woman who had deliberate-
ly disguised herself. Jane West in New
York is a different woman altogether;
but, unless I’m very wrong, she is
even more completely disguised from
Pierre Landis. If you can convince
Pierre that you are Jane West, not
any other woman, certainly not the
woman he once knew, aren’t you pretty
safely rid of him for always?”
She stood still now. He felt that
her fingers were cold. “Yes.* For al-
ways. I suppose so. But how cun
I do that, Mr. Morena?”
Nothing easier. You’re an actress,
aren’t you? I advised Pierre Landis
to stand near the stage exit tonight
and watch you get into your motor.”
Again she clutched at him. “Oh, no.
Don’t—don’t let him do that!”
“Now, if you will make an effort,
look him in the eyes, refuse to show
a single quiver of recognition, speak
to someone in the most artificial tone
you can imagine, pass him by, and
drive away, why, wouldn’t that con-
vince him you aren’t his quarry—elf?”
She thought! then slowly drew her-
self away and stood, her head bent,
her brows drawn sharply together.
“Yes. I suppose so. I think I can
do it. That is the best plan.” She
looked at him wildly again. “Then
it will be over for always, won’t it?
He’ll go away?”
“Yes, my poor child. He will go
away. He told me so. Then, will you
try to forget him, to live your life for
its own beautiful sake? I’d like to
see you happy, Jane.”
“Would you?” She smiled like a
pitying mother. “Why, I’ve given up
even dreaming of that. That isn’t
what keeps me going.”
“What is it, Jone?”
“Oh, a queer notion.” She laughed
sadly. “A kind of kid’s notion,
guess, that if you live along, some
way, some time, you’ll be able to make
up for things you’ve done, and/that
perhaps there’ll be another mating-
place—a kind of a round-up—fvhere
you’ll be fit to forgive those you love
and to be forgiven by them.”
Jasper walked about. He was
touched and troubled. Some minutes
later he said doubtfully, "Then you’ll
carry through your purpose of not let-
ting Pierre know you?"
“Yes. I’ve made up my mind to
thqft. That’s what I’ve got to do. He
mustn’t find me. We can't meet here
in this life. That’s certain. There
are things that come between, things
like bars.” She made a strange ges-
ture as of a prisoner running his fin-
gers across the barred window of a
cell. “Thank you for warning me.
Thank you for telling me what to do.
She smiled faintly. “I think he will
know me, anyway,” she said, “but
won’t know him. Never, never 1”
That night the theater was late In
emptying itself. Jane West had acted
with especial brilliance and she was
called out again and again. When
she came to her dressing-room she was
flushed and breathless. She did not
change her costume, but drew her fur
coat on over the green evening dress
she had worn in the last scene. Then
she stood before her mirror, looking
herself over carefully, critically. Now
that the paint was washed off, and the
flush of excitement faded, she looked
haggard and white. Her face was very
thin, its beautiful bones—long sweep
of jaw, wide brow, straight, short
nose—sharply accentuated. The round
throat rising against the fur collar
looked unnaturally white and long.
She sat down before her dressing-
table and deliberately painted her
cheeks qnd lips. She even altered the
outlines of her mouth, giving It a
pursed and doll-like expression, so that
her eyes appeared enormous and her
nose a little pinched. Then she drew
a lock of waved hair down across the
middle of her forehead, pressed another
at each side close to the comers of her
eyes. Thifc took from the unusual
breadth of brow and gave her a much
more ordinary look. A coat of pow-
der, heavily applied, more nearly pro-
duced the effect of a pink-and-whlte,
glassy-eyed doll-baby for which she
was trying. Afterwards she turned
and smiled doubtfully at\ the aston-
ished dresser.
“Good gracious, Miss West I You
don’t look like yourself at all!”
“Good 1”
She said goodnight and went rapidly
down the drafty passages and the con-
the door of her motor drawn up
the curb. She saw him Instantly and
from the first their eyes met It was
a horrible moment for Joan. What it
was for him she could tell by the tense
pallor of his keen, bronzed face. The
eyes she had not seen for such an
agony of years, the strange, deep, irisr
colored eyes, there they were now
searching her. She stopped her heart
in its beating, she stopped her breath,
stopped her brain. She became tot
those few seconds just one thought—
“I have never seen you. I have never|
seen you.” She passed so close to
him that her fur coat touched his hand,1
and she looked into his face with a
cool, half-disdainful glitter of a smile.
“Step aside, please,” she said; “I
must get in.” Her voice was unnatu^
rally high and quite unnaturally pre-,
else. I
Pierre said one word, a hopeless
word—“Joan.” It was a prayer. It
should have been, “Be Joan.” Then
he stepped back and he stumbled into
shelter.
At the same instant another man a.
man in evening dress—hastily prevent-
ed her man from closing the door.
“Miss West, may I see you home?
Before she could speak, could do
more than look, Prosper Gael had
jumped in, the door slammed, the car
began its whirr, and they were glid-
ing through the crowded, brilliant
streets.
Joan had bent forward and was
rocking to and fro.
“He called me ‘Joan’,” she gasped
over and over. “He called me ‘Joan.’”
“That was Pierre?” Prosper had
been forewarned by Jasper and had
planned his part.
“I must go away. If I see him
again I shall die. I could never do
that another time. O God 1 His hand
touched me. He called me ‘Joan’
I must go ...”
Prosper did not touch her, but hia
voice, very friendly, very calm, had
an Instantaneous effect. “I will take
you away.”
She laughed shakily. “Again?” shq
asked, and shamed him into silence,
But after a while he began very
reasonably, very patiently:
“I can take you away so that yon
need not be put through this unneces-
sary pain. I can arrange it with Mo-
rena. If Pierre sees you often enough
he will be sure to recognize you. Joan,
I did not deserve that ‘again’ and yo
know it. I am a changed man. If you
don’t know that now I have the heard
of—of devotion, of service toward youj
you are indeed a blind and stupid
woman. But you do know It. You
must.” I
She sat silent beside him, the long|
and slender hand between her face
and him. j j
"I can take you away,” he went on.1
presently, “and keep you from Pierre
until he has given up his search and;
has gone west again. And I can take,
you at once—in a day or two. Yourj
understudy can fill the part. This en-j
gagement Is almost at an end. I can
make it up to Morena. After all, if;
we go, we shall be doing Betty and
him a service.”
Joan flung out her hands recklessly.]
‘Oh,” she cried, “what does it matter?
Of course I’ll go. I’d run into the sea
escape Pierre—” She leaned back
against the cushioned seat, rolled her
head a little from side to side like a
person in pain. “Take me away,” she
repeated. "I believe that If I stay Ij
shall go mad. I’ll go anywhere—with'
anyone. Only take me away.”

The Rio Grande valley beet and
carrot crop is about ready for harvest
and reports come in from all sections
that the yield will be heavy this sea-

crete stairs. .Jasper was standing in
side the outer door and applauded her.
“Well done. If it weren’t for your
pose and walk, my dear, I should
hardly have known you myself.”
Joan stood beside him, lidding iier
furs close, breathing fa&t through the
parted, painted lips.
“Is he here, do you know?”
“Yes. He’s been waiting. I told
him you might be late. Now, keep
your head. Everything depends upon
that. Can you do it?”
“Oh, yes. Is the car there? I won’t
have to stop?”
“Not an instant. But give him
good looking-over so that he’ll be sure
and don’t change the expression
your eyes. Feel, make yourself feel
inside, that he’s a stranger. You know
what I mean. Goodnight, my dear.
Good luck. I’ll call you up as soon
.as you get home—that is, after I’ve
seen your pursuer safely back to his
rooms.” But this last sentence was
addressed to himself.
Joan opened the door and stepped
out into the chill dampness of the
April night. The white arc of electric
light beat down upon her as she came
forward and it fell as glaringly upon
the figure of Pierre. He had pushed
forward from the little crowd of non-
descripts always waiting at a stage
exit, and stood, bareheaded, Just at
1 The Leopardess,
Pierre stood before the cheap bu-j
reau of his ugly hotel bedroom turn-;
ing a red slip of cardboard about In]
his fingers. The gas-jet sputtering
above his head threw heavy shadows
down on his face. It was the face of
hopeless, heartsick youth, the muscles]
sagging, the eyes dull, the lips tight]
and pale. Since last night when thq
contemptuous glitter of Joan’s «mile|
had fallen upon him, he had neither
slept nor eaten. Jasper "had joined;
him at the theater exit, had walked
home with him, and, while he was
with the manager, Pierre’s pride and
reserve had held him up. Afterward
he had ranged the city like a prairie
wolf, ranged it as though it had been,
an unpeopled desert, free to his stride.
He had fixed his eyes above and be-
yond and walked alone in pain.
Dawn found him again In his room
What hope had sustained him, what]
memory of Joan, what purpose of ten-]
derness toward her—these hopes and
memories and purposes now choked
and twisted him. He might have
found her, his “gel,” his Joan, with her
dumb, loving gaze; he might have told
her the story of his sorrow in such a
way that she, who forgave so easily,

At a recent meeting of the commis-
sioners’ court of Brazoria County a
reduction in the taxable values of
stock and land was made. Heretofore
property valuations in this county
have been higher than other places
in the state, it is said.
The twenty-year sentence of Con-
gressman Jesus Salas B, confessed
slayer of General Francisco Villa, has
been sustained by the supreme court
in Chihuahua City, Mexico. Congress-
man Salas B was tried and sentenced
in the court at Parral, where Villa was
assassinated.
Cattle shipments from Cherokee
County have been much larger this
year than heretofore. , Inspector Wil-
liams reports that 111 cars have been
shipped, which is said to be the larg-
est number of any of the East Texas
counties. All cattle in the county are
in good condition for the winter.
■ The Fort Worth chamber of com-
merce has leased 168 acres of land ad-
jacent to and northwest of the United
States helium plant for use as a land-
ing field for dirigible balloons that
will come to Fort Worth for supplies
of the famous non-inflammable gas,
Roscoe Ady, industrial commissioner
of that organization, has announced.
Roger Edes has been named by the
Gtate highway commission at Austin
as supervisor of state highways in
Caldwell County, has assembled road
machinery, and will begin work on the
Middle Buster at th-e--Txa-yis County
line. Caldwell County has more than''
100 miles of state highway and also
many valuable road-working machines.
Edes has built some of the main high-
ways in this section.
Palestine and Anderson County peo-
ple are rejoicing with the people of
: Freestone County on the successful
| voting of a million dollars in bonds for
! good roads. This insures continuation
of the paved highway building across
Anderson County, through Freestone
County. The type of highway to be
built will make it one of the very best
In the state, with a good bridge across
the Trinity river at a point twelve
miles west of Palestine.
Freestone County’s million-dollar
road bond issue, which carried recent-
ly by more than two-thirds majority,
will open up a new east-west highway
from Waco to Palestine, uniting terri-
tory which has had no direct connec-
tion in the past either by highway or
railroad. The project centers in a
bridge over the Trinity river between
Fairfield and Palestine. The road,
known as the Exall highway, will be
one of the state’s main roads, passing
'rom Waco through Mexia, Teague and
Fairfield to Palestine.
Two road bond issues in northern
primes County, in Brazos County and
Bryan trade territory carried by large
majorities at elections held the first
of the week. The establishment of
(lard-surfaced roads within these dis-
tricts, which lie just across the Nav-
usota River, coupled with good roads

river in this county, will draw much
trade to this section that now goes
lo other points, it is expected.
The recent rains throughout the La-
