roistering voices of three or four half
| drunken fellows under his window.
He was caught between two forces.
To drop from the window at that mo-
ment was to drop into their hands.
| Robard would at once call out, and he
would be taken.
While he was debating what to do
Robard and his son entered.
"Ah, my friend, you have slept long"
said Robard. "We feared you were
ill.,"
"No, 1 was only very weary" said
Buckford.
The younger Robard carried lamp
BY the light of this Buckford saw a
knife sticking from the pocket of the
elder rascars coat.
With leap like that of panther,
he was on the old man and tore the
knife from the pocket. In another in
slant it's point had found soft spot
between the robbers ribs.
Then, with a blow from his fist that
sent the younger Robard reeling and
the lamp flying against the wall, Buck
ford ran to the window and leaped to
the roof of the shed below. From this
he jumped down to the ground and
came plump upon the roistering party
of four, who were startled at this sud-
den alighting of a rare bird among
them.
"Ho, no! What's this? A robber!
Call Robard! Call Robard! Seize this
fellow! Hold him till Robard comesr'

the window of his room lighted with
red glare. 81 am guest of the inn.
My lamp upset, and the house took fire.
This was the only escape. Do you
see?"
"Fire, fire! Robard's inn is on firev'
they shouted, and, sobered by the ter
rible catastrophe, they released Buck
ford and ran to the front of the build
ing to gain an entrance.
"Fire, firev' Buckford could hear the
alarm ringing from one end of the
house to the other.
Then from the window of the room
he had left came screams and yells Of
wild rage and despair.
Murder! Robbery! He has gone!
After him, you Frenchmen! The thief

you want has just set the house on fire,
stabbed Robard and leaped from the
window! After himv'
Buckford ran as he had never run
before. He found an easy entrance to
the stable. Every employee who slept
in or near the stable had rushed to the
inn to fight the fire. He had no time to
select horse. He took the one near
est the door. Without saddle or bride
he led it forth, leaped upon it's back,
and as the glare from the burning
building sent CLEAN of light around
him he dashed away, followed by the
hoarse cries of rage and the pistol
shots of the enraged Frenchmen and
Robard's son.
Vandal, quick to grasp this opportu-
nifty, left the Deneslians to fight their
own fire and, calling Reber and Robel-
10, ran to the stable and got out horses.
'This time that rascars life" he
growled. This time, by heaven, I'll
kill himw
The three, mounted much as Buck
ford was, dashed after him.
Buckford had probably three to FIVE
minutes start. and that start had car
hed him out of the sight Of his pursu-
ers. But they could hear the sullen
pounding of his horses hoofs ON the
hard road. They followed the sound.

CRY riders. Buckford, fleeing for his
life, spared not his horse. The others,
less skilled horsemen, bobbed and
pounded painfully on the bare backs,
but clung to the flying steeds with a
tenacity that showed how eager they
were to overtake and finish this Amer
lean who baked them at every step.
Vandal alone controlled his horse.
The others merely clung round their
horses necks and let the beasts follow

They went through little villages,
all peacefully asleep. They rode like
the wind through farming regions,
through valleys and over hills till their

ground.
And now at last it was simply
question of the staying qualities of the
horses. Had Buckford in his quick
selection of the nearest horse to the
door obtained good one, or had the
others, taking horses from more pro-
tected places, CHANGED to get hold of
animals of better speed or less weari-
ness than the one he rode?
Buckford's horse was showing signs
of exhaustion. He had hoped to gain
enough headway to escape from his
horse and find hiding place. But in,
stead the steady and thunderous hoof
beats of the pursuing horses grew
louder and nearer.
He was now In a rough and hilly
country. The road was bad, and the
weary horse stumbled constantly.
A pistol shot rang out behind him.
The Frenchmen were near enough to
shoot at him.
He knew that cruelty would not
make his horse go faster.
Before him rose trees that obscured
the way. He could not see the ground
ten feet from his horse.

0 ROBARD, the man who kept the
NH inn at Ontro, was a Denes-
SeVSS5l lian who had married a Prus-
go sian woman. These worthy
people were supposed to make their
living keeping the inn. The inn at
Ontro sheltered such travellers as
chanced to come that way and were
forced to remain overnight, n thing
that no traveller knowing his business
ever did
The inn also sheltered a band of rob-
bers and cutthrOats, the chief men,
bers of which We're the four billiard
players that had jumped upon Vandal.
In response to the cries for Robard,
that gentleman, a rotund and ruddy
faced rascal, came putting in.
Here, here! What is the matter?
Have you lost your senses?" he de-
manded. "Have you no sense what
ever? Is this the place to knock down
travellers and take their coin? Oh!
You will hang out sign next, Trav-
elers Neatly Robbed Herep"

caught him trying to rob you"
A loud laugh greeted this witty
speech.
"Rob me! That fellow rob me! Did
he take the silver?"
"Oh, no. He took nothing. But he
was trying to rob you Of the good
hausfrau's smiles.'
"Oll, oh! Such impudence! Have
you not already killed the beast?'
"Not quite" said another of the
gang. 81 feel him painting under me.

added the former speaker. Here we

scene. Give the fellow chance to ex-

With evident reluctance they got up
from Vandals PROSTATE body, and he
slowly and painfully got to his feet.
"The devil! You fellows are braver'
he said, with puff and groan. "Four

his profession. He had reached the
age of 81 years. Professor Rudolf Yir-
chow was a director of the Berlin
Pathologican institute, and one of the
greatest scientists. He had a two-fold
career-one as pathologist and anthro-
pologist, and the other as politician.
AS a politician he was a Radical,
and a revOlutionist of 1S4S49. He was
in violent opposition TO Bismarck for
sixteen years. AS a scientist he was
pre-eminent in sanitary matters. So
highly was he regarded by scientific
men that after the revolution of 1915
40 he was only asked by the govern
ment to give up his connection with
the university: but so necessary was
he that the medical societies insisted
that he should be reinstated. His
books form a medical library in them
selves. He allowed himself but five
hours sleep, working most of the other
nineteen hours
