They saw him accost her briefly, then go
springing past her up the steps and
into the house. A moment more and
Mrs. Grafton, with other women,
reached her.
"What is the matter? What has hap
pened, Fanny? Why are you here?"
And covering, sobbing, shivering, she
made answer:
"Oh, stop him! save him! He'll kill
himself. told him his vile was
gone"
Too late. Out to the stable the doc
tor chased, for bed and room were de
serted. There, wildly gesticulating and
pointing to the open mesa, was Hop
Ling. "He makee my saddle-he makee
lide-he alice gone!" he walled, point
ing to where, far to the west, puff Of
dust cloud was swiftly vanishing down
into the valley of the Santa Clara.

ceived. Presently she tiptoed to Fam
ny's room, softly turned the knob, and
noiselessly entered. There lay her guest
still plunged in deep sluInber, but An
nette had disappeared, gone, probably,
to the kitchen for coffee. Far over at
the east, where the railway crossed the
barren mesa, locomotive whistle broke
the silence of the desert with hhg, ex-
ultant blast. Tie blockadl lWifen was
broken. The first train waS Sh ing in
from Cimarrop. Dressing VT N ,feater
haste than usual, she orderedS yAkfast
served, and then went out on tKopiazza
and looked up the row toward the Mer-
RAMS. The doctor was just coming
out of the gate, and Whitaker, who had
spent the night there on watch-all
thought of rivalry forgotten-was
standing on the top step, apparently
detaining the physician with some ques-
tion. Eager for news of Randy, Mrs.
Grafton threw her husbands cavalry
cape over her shoulders and tripped
briskly up the gravel walk. "Stillsleep-
ing" said the doctor, "and how is your
patlentT
'"Also sleeping" said Mrs. Grafton.
81 don't see how people can sleep so
soundly at such times" whereat the
doctor looked conscious but said moth
ing.
All that morning people strained their
eyes and rubbed their binoculars and
searched the distant foothills to the
northwest, hoping for the coming of
couriers with news; but not until after
noon were they rewarded. Then, COW
cred with sweat and dust, corporal OF
Grafton's troop rode in. DR.. Gould and
Mrs. Hayne were still at Jose's, though
they feared they could be Of no use
there, for not sign of Florence had been
found. Grafton had sent couriers on to
the Catamount with the tidings of her
peril, and his men, in wide dispersed
order, were securing the foothills long
days marches away. Full half an hour
the ladies grouped at Buxton's, listen
ing to the soldiers description of their
search, and then were strolling home
ward when, over toward the west end OF
the cavalry line, arose the sound OF COM
motion and distress.
An instant later, as the doctor,
glancing, turned to hasten thither, a
woman dressed in deepest black came
reeling forth from the Merriams' door
way and plunging wildly down the
steps. Everyone knew her at a glance
it was Fanny McLane, who stood there
now swaying at the gate as though
gasping for breath, while calling mar
ticulately for aid. 1t was but few Sec
onds before the doctor reached her

16l. Buxton and others-all the Off
@-eSs, almost felt bound to come to the
hoese between stables and retreat, Just
Tn see how Randy was getting on, but
the answer was the same to one and all.
No one was to be admitted, for the doc
u0r was trying to get him to sleep"
sNSd surely enough, bathed, re-
Treshed, his arm set and dressed, Randy
sasAn found himself slowed away in a
SOFT, white bed, but oh, so weak and
drowsy after all the labor of the chase
and the long, long day of racSing pain.
They were to bring Florence to him
NOV, his wife, his darling, impatiently
waiting forthe summons, as he thought
lher, at Mrs. Haynes, and he was
stretching out his arms to her-his one
available arm, rather, and fondly muir
yn1uri8g her name, when the weary eye
pi1Ss closed and, numb and impotent, he
drifted away into deep, deep slumber.
There" said the doctor, at last,
hell do now"
AYE" murmured Grafton, but what
VIII the waking be if there's no Flor
4enGe here Tomorrow
'IlhRt was an anxious night ut Sedg-
wick. Merriam slept like the dead, and
kzviee the young doctor feared it might
Gs necessary to -ouse him, thinking
mat perhaps he had sent that tiny shot
OF his hypoderE!c syringe with too
gbasvy charge But so long as Randy
was ignorant of his wife's mad esca-
pade be would have slept through sheer
exhaustion and weariness, and his ply
ua=5an need not have troubled himself.
Twice Grafton tiptoed in, and the hos
EsSaI attendant arose at his coming and
reported that the patient had not
stirred.
Over at Grafton's quarters, however
AIiey had to deal with less tractable
creature. Fanny McLane had reused
from her swoon and was nervously, ex
eitabIy, irritably wide awake, de
manding actually to be allowed to SCI
Mr. Merriam. Even Annette was sen

her friend and guest to herself, and he
tears and prayers, her reproaches ant
tmprecations fell on hardened ears
Mrs. Grafton was adamant.
~It is mad folly to talk OF such

There for few moments she seemed
to have paused and reconnoitered.
OF what followed only Randy and
Hop Ling were witnesses. The latter
was never able to explain it, if indeed
he ever could understand the situation,
and as for Randy, it was long before he
could be induced to speak of it at all.
The time came when he had to, how
ever, and it can be told now.

This city has a variety of clubs for women, but there is still room for one like that which has been a special suc- cess in Boston. It is called the Penta- gon. The origin of the name is traced to the fact that its roll is made up from members of five professions-1oc lawyers, ministers, teachers and jour nalists. Another feature of this organ ization which will at once commend it. self to many of those who have had experience in the field here is that it has no constitution and no officers. There is meeting held once a monLn, at which the members dine together and have jolly good time. Probably We can improve and elaborate the idea, but it seems to have self-eYident ele- ments of popularity that are not yet too widely known

GERMANY AT WAR
On East Third Avenue Husband
 Arrested Last Night.

Last night the Police were seen lowering around the home of Adolph Slater, a German, on East Third avenue. They did not have to wait long to secure evidence sufficient to arrest Slater. They made their ap- pearance ip the neighborhood owing to complaints previously made at police headquarters. Slater was arrested and taken to police head quat ters. where after great dilly- dallYing, he paid $10, given him by his wife, for disturbing the peace.
 He has been constantly fighting and whipping his wife and sne in turn 10 protect herself has to fight also. This has been going on for some time and is menace to the people who live around the neighborhood. He should be put under a peace bond. Last night, so we are reliably informed, he had not reached home good when he com menced his quarrelling and fighting again. He is proyeroial wife. beater. Jealousy seems to be the flame that causes him to act as he does. His wife can do nothing in the way of buying clothing or put ting on a new dress but what hrs fertile jealous nature imagines she is going to leave him, or as he puts it, "flirting wid anodder man.
