reached for the cigar, but did not
take it. Instead, he converted the
movement into stinging side blow
which felled the man at his left, and
at the same instant sprang back out
of the circle with Griswold to hold
the Infatuated ones at bay while he
did it.
Any diversion Griswold could make
was necessarily of the briefest. For
some swift-passing second or so he
delayed the rush by sheer moral
bravado. The storm broke in a yell
of rage and no two men might with
stand it. Griswold did not try.
Through that hole in the fence!-
in with you!" he said, over his shout
der to the detectives; and the thing
was done SO deity that the yelling
mob was for the moment nonplussed.
Griswold made good use of the mo-
mentary respite.
Follow mel" he commanded; and
minute later they had opened the
darkened Office by the back door.
When the door was shut and locked
again, Griffin looked about him in the
semi-gloom.
Its out of the frying pan into the
fire, isn't it?" he said. They'll storm
this place in about a minute-and
take it."
The augmenting yells in the street
told that the mob was increasing it's
numbers rapidly, and that the melee
on the sidewalk would presently de-
velop into riot. Gfiswold stepped
to the telephone, but the call bells
were dumb.
They've cut the wires," he said.

you armed?"
The detective laughed. "I'm like
the Texas cowboy who was caught in
swimming; my gun is safe enough at

Griswold took down a Winchester

CHAPTER XVI.

There was a somewhat sensational
account of the riot at the iron works
in the newspapers the following
morning; rather more sensational
than the facts known to the report
ers justified, though less startling
than it would have been if the Griffin
episode had been given it's due share
in the recountal.
Margery Grierson read the report
ers' version of the affair over her cup
of coffee, brought, la Francois, to
her bedside, and was moved thereby
to bestir herself rather earlier than
usual. One of Miss Grierson's re-
venges for an unlovely past was
certain lizard-like basking in the sun
shine of affluence, and she was wont
to deride the early morning habit of
Wahaska, and to let her own morning
begin in the middle of the Wahaskan
forenoon.
But on this occasion she broke her
rule, surprising her father by trip
ping airily into his private office a
few minutes after the bank had been
opened. At that hour, the president
was alone and disengaged; an Incl
dental happening which was favor
able to Margery's purpose; and to
make sure of uninterruption, she
snapped the catch of the night latch
as she closed the door behind her.
There was a great straight-backed
chair at the end of the presidents
desk; chair with high arms and un-
comfortable angles designed to seize
and hold suppliant visitor to the
end that he might be i'll at ease, and
SO more easily amenable to rea-
son = Jasper Grierson's reason.
| Margery was far enough above
such purely adventitious hindrances.
but this morning she avoided the
chair, going to perch in one of the
deep-bayed window. seats.
Jasper Grierson swung slowly in

which he had surrounded himself.
looked at his daughter with half
closed eyes and said: "Well?"
Il came to tell you it is time to

gaze with level eyes.
''Time--to quit what?'
"You know well enough. You have
made all the trouble you need to for

and dispersed. Then, and not till
then, Griswold lowered his weapon
and spoke to the man whose life he
had saved.
1T is over for this time" he said.
I'VE can make a circuit now and
reach the hotel without difficulty, I
Think
They went by a roundabout way,
and neither of them spoke again till
they stood beneath the portico of the
ST. James. Then Griffin thrust out
his hand.
II owe you another-a good deal
bigger one, this time, Mr.. Griswold."
Griswold seemed not to see the out
stretched hand. do you? There shall

Its all right for you to say that;
but 1 happen to be man like other

Griswold was still ignoring the
held-out hand. eff you think you
owe me anything, you can pay it in
an answer to a question. You are Il

were?"
"Yes."

1T wouldn't be past belief, would
it?'
"No. But in that case, who sent

Griffin boggled at this, but said
finally: "My chief

or Raymer's I am sure"
NO.

Perhaps there wasn't any request
from anybody. Some of us are usual

Griswold's lip curled in undisguised
scorn. "Then the stories they tell OF
you and your fellow spoilers are
true; that if you can't find case

Griffin started back with an oath
which was purely of establishment.

and wrung it heartily.

and left the other standing at the

! al appearance by attiring him in bet ter clothes that had been discarded by the male members of the family. She keeps a few boarders and thought he could a least earn his beard tenn porarily by running errands for her and doing odd jobs around the place
 Since that time he has been eating regularly from the boarding house
 supply until Tuesday. notwithstTd-
 ing his slight duties were but poorly
 performed A few days ago he was sent
 up town 10 bring home a mattress.
 He did net bring it, but he was there
 promptly at the next meal time.
 Tuesday morning Mrs. Davenport asked him to go up town and get some meat for her, when he answered. ''To hell with the meat" and contin- Ued his remarks to Mrs. Davenport in a most profane and insulting manner. Among Mrs. Davenport boarders are an invalid gentleman and anoth- CT named Dean, the latter being ac- companied by his wife. and neither man being able to leave his bed ex- cept in the most pleasant weather, or when inspired by some unusual ex- citement.
 When the first named boarder heard the wretch cursing Mrs Davenport he remCnstratCd with him, whereupoa the hobo turned round and struck him a blow in the forehead and ran to the dccc. Mr Dean also got up from his bed and advancing toward Kurtz told him he did met want to hear any more cursiEg in the presence of the women. Kurtz replied to Dean by picking up a rock nearly as big as cannon ball and hurling it at him. IL went wide Of the aim, but came near hitting Mrs. Dean. Marshal Kinney was sum mCned in the meantime and when he arrived Kurtz was not far away.
 He made a strenuous plea in his own behalf yesterday and claimed self de- fense. He said he was only defending himself in an argument with M-s. Davenport when the other man came at him like a roaring lion' and nc had to do something. The story was well told but it lacked strength when the court took into consideration tbat the hobo is a big husky brute and the roaring lion only weighs SG pounds. and in court was as gentle as lamb. It was not necessary to chain him and he made no effort to eat up any body. The sentence was fifty days in jail.

BASE IKGRATITUDE
Hobo for Whom the City Jail is too
 Good.

A circumstance occurred in the city Tuesday, that if repeated only occas- ionaly would turn the milk of human kindness to vine gar and lead goci people to skin the shoru lamb rather than temper the wind to him.
 Several days ago a hobo giving the name Of T. L. Kurtz applied at the home Of Mrs. Davenport, an elderly lady who lives at No. 29 East Jack son street. and told her the.- usual hard luck story about the lack of food and clothes. though confessing that he was a bre3kbeam tourist. He had lost some of his clothes in a camp fire at Glendale, etc. Mrs. Davenport was touched with pity and gave him some thing to eat and improved his person.

There is danger, too, of these places becoming cancerous if not treated promptly and i'll the right way. Washes, salves and ointinents are good for external use, but they can't stop the discharge or change the condition of the blood, and for this reason the sore never heals per manently.
 Not until the blood is purged of impurities and the system cleansed of all harmful substances should the ulcer heal, or the effect upon the sys- tenn might prove disastrous. s. s. s. goes into the circulation and searches out and removes the cause of the old sore and invigorates and builds up the polluted, sluggish blood again, and as the poisonous matter is driven from the system the sore begins to heal, new flesh forms and the place is soon covered over with
