Griswold promptly doubled the
blacks reward, and went his way to
begin series of metamorphoses.
The series began in q pawnshop next
door to the saloon which had seduced
the detective. Here he made q
change of clothing from top to toe,
bought handbag much too large to
be filed with the cast-off garments
of the. deck hand. and sailed forth
to seek BARRIERS shop of Clearly
promise.
The shop and its bathroom made
the next step in the series; and from
thence Griswold went uptown to an
Quitting establishment of the bet
ter sort, and made another complete
change; made. it with such ample
provision for the future that he was
obliged to purchase two travelling
cases to hold the overflow. Here he
explained that he was just up from
fever district, and begged the OPP
portunity to burn all the cast-off
clothing in the furnace of the steam
heating plant. 1t was given him, and

No one, say; and yet it must have
been the very irony of fate which
sent to him the very cabman who
had so lately assisted him in the
hazardous escape on the levee. For,

sharp-eyed little Irishman would
have penetrated his disguise-as he
did.

muttered the sharp-eyed one on the
short drive to the hotel. There's
nothing left av him but thin eyes,
and that cut on his forrud, and his
manner of sp'akin'. But thin I'd

oLD-TIME BELIEF IN DEMONS.
In the Age of the Reformation II
Was Rife, and Even Luther be-
lieved the Devil Visited Him.

The cures of Jesus excited SO much
surprise among his contemporaries be.
cause they were effected by His word
and look alone, and needed no ADVENT
tious aid of magical drugs; though
even He would send on his patients to
the priests to be finally purified by
magical additions from the unclean
spirits visitation. In the age of the
Gospels everyone, from the beggar in
the streets to the emperor on the
throne, believed in the existence OF
demons infesting men and animals,
haunting trees and rivers, even inhab-
iting statues as their tenements. II
was only a question of which name was
most potent in exorcism, and in Acts
1876 Gallo drove from the judgment
seat the Jews, who were rioting about
mere words and names; that is to
say, were assailing Paul for invoking
the name of Jesus Christ as defense
against the invisible powers of evil
rather than the names of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob, says the Interna.
tional Monthly. In that age, as in the
ages that followed, there was thus
a background of chronological belief
into which fitted the stories which are
a stumbling block to modern divines
like Farrar and Ian Maclaren. In the
age of the reformation, this back
ground of belief in evil spirits causing
madness and sickness and bad weather
was sti1l intact, and entered as factor
into mems lives and conduct to a de-
gree which only those can realize who
will consult the literature of that age.

reality of the visits which the devil

The New Fashionable Figure

the spine. Indeed, the only spring
or curve permitted the lower part
of the corset is at the hip, which does
not mean, however, that large hips
have come in fashion.
"On the contrary, hips are to bc
compressed as much as possible. rs
a means to this end the corset is cut
longer than it has been for years.
particularly over the hips and abdo-
men-as long, in fact, as it can te
and permit the wearer to sit down
and the most strenuous efforts of the.
makers are directed to pushing down
and holding down the flesh on the
hips.
"And with the help of heavy bones
and steels, also strong straps, the
latter fastened to the edges of the
corset on either side and then to gar
tiers clasped below the knee. it is mar
velous what sylphlike results are OBJ
tanned. The straps, as may be I'M
agined, are the least comfortable
part of the apparatus; nevertheless.
some women wear four of them, two
in front as well as two at the side
the better to keep the corset firmly
in place. After the figure begins to
fall into the new lines the straps are
less important.
From the waist line up there are
also marked changes in the cut -
the up-to-date corset designed to
mold the new figure. AS most PEG.
pie are aware, the models worn dur
ing the last year or two have been
cut very roomy Immediately above
the waist line in front. This was to
give the effect of a low bust. In fact.
a low bust has been perhaps the
most distinctive feature of the fash
ionable figure for more than year.
NOW all that is changed. Fashion
commands that the bust shall be
high in order to promote the straighs
line which she has made the keynote
of the new figure. Therefore, the
corset is now fitted quite smoothly in
front to some distance above the
waist line, and very closely indeed
under the arm.
Necessarily, the bust is much
heightened. The corset, too, is cut
much higher than it was a few
months ago."

CHAPTER XII.

When the plunging carriage and its
yelling escort of pursuers were gone,
Griswold sat up and felt for broken
bones. Happily there were none, and
in trice he was afoot and on his
way back to the "Belle julie" the
handouts hidden by bit of bagging.
The flank movement was not of i'm
pulse; it was only the carrying out
of plan well defined at the outset;
the determination to do the thing
that the professional robber would
not do.
The mate was at the heel of the
footplank when he went aboard, and
he saw the manacles.
Hi, there, Gavittt'' he called,
whats to pay with you now?'
Griswold explained in barest out
line.
''Who was it, then? Thugs. / sup
pose, after your bit of pay. and the
cop hustled the wrong man, av
course. How come We to get foot
loose?"

freed the prisoner. After which he
gave hisi a long-tailed coat, much
the worse for wear, and an old hat.
Take them and be of with you.
before the cops come down to look
for their bits of scrap-iron." he said.
Griswold would have thanked him.
but speech-Gavitt speech-was not
to be had.
Once on the levee again. with all
the improbability of finding the ne
gro and the treasure confronting
him. he had an iIl-turn that was
most disquieting. But in the midst
of it he found his man, who had
successfully lodged the ofRcer and
saved the precious bundle.

cis;ons in his stomach, to hunt for the

at the peacemaker, who was stand

CHAPTER K.

When Charlotte had made sure of
the pseudo deck hands identity in
the forenoon of the second day out
abe had thought the assurance UNI
assailable and had conducted herself
accordingly. But when she awoke
late on the morning following the
brave rescue of the mate, assurance
had departed.
With the admission of the smallest
doubt, she could by no means go on
with her plan of betrayal until the
doubt was removed; and, not know
ing what else to do, she went to the
captain to find out if possible all he
knew about the mates rescuer
The interview was most unsatlsfac-
tory. She led up to the subject by
; telling the captain the story of the
rescue, and so was privileged to ask a
few questions about the rescuer. Did
the captain know him? And, above
all. did the captain know the day and
hour when the man had joined the
crew?
Capt. Mayfield knew no more than
that the mans name was John Gavitt,
and that he had joined some time dur
ing the day of departure from New
Orleans. He was sick tramp, work
ing his way home to some small river
town in Iowa.
So the doubt remained unsolyed.
after all, and her hands were tied un-
less it could be removed. She could
think of no other expedient, save an
interview with the man himself. and
this she knew was impossible-in it's
bringing about and in any definite re-
suit that could accrue. For if she
eouid bring herself to question him,
surely he would lie in his own behalf.
And yet it was the impossible
thing that happened. For that even

ing on the guard upon which her
stateroom window opened. she heard

her opportunity was all but lost:

him.
