CHAPTER XII.
OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH.

Doctor Haynor was an educated, self-reli-
ant physician, but in all his practice he had
never been called on to trepan q mans skull,
and he did not care to undertake 1t without
the presence Of some of his professional
brethren. But the fact that Ralph Holmes
was sinking fast and that Lord Pelham ap-
peared to be cool and to have more than O.
1ayman's knowledge of the necessities Of the
case gave him confidence to try it ut once.
Pelham wanted Colonel Morton and Doctor
Ellerton to witness the operation, but both
stoutly refused, the former saying with O
.hudder:
81 have horror Of blood"
After all the preparations were made, Mile
BERTRAND, whose quiet manner was in striking
contrast to that of the people about her, said:
doctor Hnynor, have practeece to nurse
in re war my countrec ave wiz re German.
Eef you shall not object, will stay near"
The doctor did not object and bile. Ber-
trand, in the operation that followed, proved
herself to be most efficient ally.
Twenty minutes after Doctor Haynor, Lord
Pelham and Mile Bertrand had entered the
wounded mans room DR.. Castillo, one OF the
physicians who had been sent for, arrived,
and his own appearance and that of his pant
ing, foam-hecked horse showed that he had
come in q hurry.
Captain Almedo tried to draw this man
aside, but Colonel Morton, who understood
Spanis.., interfered, and insisted that the new
arrival should join DR.. Haynor at once.
When DR.. Castillo had compiled with this
request, the Colonel drew Almedo into the Ii
brary, and closing the door behind them, he
said, in low kissing voice and with blazing
eyes:
! "And so this is your work, Senior Almedo?"

Che same bullet. Why should want to hurt
him? If I cared to kill this Holmes, could
do it and no one would know"
Almedo was very pale, there was foam
about his thin lips, but the most careful stu
dent of physiognomy would have boon puz-
zled to tell whether his excitement were due
to fear or anger.
"Bah Do you think I'm q fool? You fired
that shot with your eye along the rifle BAR

sNo doubt of it," acquiesced Morton, 1--WE
have full quota OF that kind of gentry on this
coast, but we forget the black crimes Of the
past, in the blazing prosperity of the present.
After this the conversation changed to other
topics, though more than once, Colonel Nor
ton referred to the strange case of Leonard
Martin. .it=-
When in San Francisco, Colonel Morton was
always the busiest Of men. He was mana
ger or director in scores of great ventures.
He was regarded as q mascot, sort of Pacific
Coast Midas, who turned everything he
touched into gold. He had won the enviable
position where promising new enterprises
were glad to give him stock for the use of his
name. y" ~
He was on the best of terms with the news
paper men, who Id order 10 please him, never
announced his arrival, and so saved him from
being deluged by preachers and philanthro-
pists, for it had come to be well-known that
he could not resist an appeal for charity or to
convert the heather, and that the only way he
could keep from impoverishing himself was
by keeping out of the reach of solicitors.
Colonel Morton put UP at the Palace Hotel,
and as he kept quarters there by the year, he
Qlu not register.
He and Judge Davidson had late breakfast
or an early lunch in his rooms, and then he
called cab and was driven to an old fashioned
building on SAMSON street. He hurried to
the second story, and, after knocking, was
admitted into a large room fitted up as an
office, and with the many chairs about that
showed it was used as place for conference.
There was telegraph instrument on table
with young man sitting beside it, and an
elderly bald-headed man, with long nose
and high shoulders bending over him.
"Hello, French, you see I'm here,' was the

the bald-headed man.
"Yes, and I'm glad you've come" replied
French.

guest, Lord Pelham, has gone to Monterey.
But sit down and let us talk" Then turning
to the operator French nodded and added,
"Be within reach, Todd, if should want you"
The young man bowed and left, and the two
men, although there was no one -else in the
room to overhear, literally ''put their heads
together" and, in whispers, discussed the
giant scheme that was to make the fortunes

All the overhead wires in New York from
Twenty-third street to the battery have been

The health department of Brooklyn pays

position, the reason being that girls object to
being vaccinated on the arm.
The New Zealanders claim that the reason
they do not feel the hard times like the rest
of the world is because they have woman
suffrage, the land tax, and are too far re-
moved from the old world to get the over

When Sir Walter Scott was boy Robert
Burns, who had already won the laurel
wreath, said to him when he had named the
author of some verses of current literature

In this season of house placards an anec-

Colquitt as United States Senator from
Georgia, is an Irishman by birth and type

eye. He has long been the editor and pro-
prietor of the Augusta Chronicle, and has
served in the house and state senate. He is
personally very popular with men, and al

to be a great favorite with the ladies. Unlike
most self-made men, he does not worship his

There is, probably, no joy as accessible and
practical as cycling, and with it comes health.
Wheels are cheap. too, and there is hardly
any good reason why the rare sport should
not be INDUCED by everyone. While there is
only one seat on the bicycle, yet it is like the
old family carriage, it has room for all-in in
dividual turns, of course. The adjustable
saddle and handle rod, and the removable bar
of the woman's wheel, render the vehicle one
of general utility for man, woman and child.
And now that the divided skirt has been in

He's a Jolly Good Fellow
During the course of his remarks,
the premier said his thoughts went to
the past rather than TO the present
to the immortal days of Mr. Glad
stones first Midlothian campaign. The
memory of the campaign quickened
his pulse. If Mr.. Gladstone was alb

ued, his inspiration was with them and
1t was in that inspiration the govern
ment intended to succeed.
Continuing. he said: I'VE do not
propose to sit on the banks of the
stream of time and watch the stream
pass by until it runs dry. For the
English majority, in the cause we es-
pouse, we shall try, as we have been
trying since 1886, to bring conviction to
the minds of the patriotic. Though it
was not necessary to demand an Eng
lish majority, it was important to con-
vince the heart and mind and con-
science of England
The premier argued that the peers
opposition to home rule was due en-
tirely to the knowledge that English
opinion upheld them. Otherwise, the
country would have risen as one man
against the lords rejection of the bill.
Therefore, he was determined to re-
duce the English majority against the
bill
He believed that when they re-
! ceived the fast Iipening demand for
Scotch home rule, if he was a minis
ter, he would not stand in the breach
to oppose it, and if he was not a min
lister, he hoped, as a man, to be in the
