How was she TO live without Norman
her knight. her husband, her Norman?
What were those petty differences be-
side the sound of his tender voice and
the clasp of his strong arm?
Suddenly wave of wild wrath up
rose in her like a consuming flame.
Luckily she had not cried out. Perhaps
the man had not seen her or deemed
that she had not seen him. The little
revolver which Norman had taught her
to use was in the top drawer of her
chiffOnier. Silently she began a pur
poseful retreat, her face turned toward
her unseen enemy, her ears wary. 1t
was the retreat of a tigress bereft
that seeks but vantage point for Il
furious leap. Vengeance, not safety,
was her end.
Although while thinking Page had
been listening. listening to apprehend
the least indication of the where
abouts of his mysterious opponent. he
had heard nothing save the dash of the
drops. The silence was trimming with
possibilities. He must not open the
door for this would betray him. The
night covered him like a velvet pail
and. shrouded in his req robe, he was
as invisible as was his antagonist.
Doubtless the other also was listen
ing, peerinG, planning. Was he steal
ing nearer and nearer until he might
grapple or was he crouching, prepared
to shoot as soon as his senses should
guide him ever so little? Amid the
storm pistol shot would spread
abroad no alarm.
Page fancicd that he could detect the
gradual approach of his ruthless foe.
His faculties were concentrated until
it seemed that his head must crack
from the stress.
The effort was futile.
oh. for Il chance to put himself upon
an equal footing! Only give him some
thing with which to kill. kill. kill. His
heavy cane was in the opposite corner.
A fierce longing to clutch it possessed
him.
He started to Withdraw his fingers
from the knob.
Another lightning flash SO brilliant
and unexpected that it blinded him as
with Il white hot iron. CraSh-tlr

Recklessly bold. he strobe resolutely
in the direction of the dresser. hastily
swept his hands over the top, seized a
match and applied it to the gas. The
broad jet leaped into life, and. clutch

BOND SALE MUST Wal
Small Chance That Funds Will Be.
Available Until Too
Late.

There were not enough aldermen pres
ent at yesterdays council melting to In
sure the passage Of a resolution direct
ing the proper city officials to advertise
for bids for $4,000 Of municipal bonds
at per cent interest. The resolution Of
the paving committee favoring an in
crease in the interest rate from 3h to 4
per cent was adopted by vote Of Ii to
8. AS a flve-sixths majority Is necessary
to authorize the sale of bonds, it was
plain from this vote that the opposition
was strong enough to defeat such a res
olution, and hence 1t was not offered.
Even II the bonds could be sold 1t would
take at least month before the money
would be available, and it would then be
too late In the season to undertake sewer
and paving work. And there Is some
question II the bonds, even at per cent,
would command premium. Omaha
"4-30's" failed to secure premium last
week.
The contract for resurfacing Park ave-
nue. with asphalt was awarded to the
Barber Asphalt company at $1.25 per
yard, despite the PROTEST of Alderman
S. e. Adams, who is opposed to asphalt
paving.
A communication from the Commercial
| Club urging the building of a direct
thorofare to Fort Smelling was referred
! to the aldermen of the sixth. seventh
eleventh and twelfth wards.
| A resolution providing for the estab-
lshment Of three pounds for the impris-
onment of estray animals was referred tc
special committee consisting Of one al
derman from each ward.
