Then the door, which had been left

with a great rush of wind and rain the
patrol guard, five in number. sprang in.

one hand, with the other swung ire

intruders. Nine. Roussillon blew out
the light. No cave in the depth of
earth was ever darker than that room
The patrolmen could not see one an

of giant. His blows sounded as il
they smashed bones Men fell heavily
humping on the floor where he rushed
along. Some one fired pistol, and by
its flash they all saw him. but instantly
the darkness closed again and before
they could get their bearings he was
out and gone, his great hulking form
making its way easily over familiar
ground where his would be captors

with Il light to guide them.

Alice had snatched down one Of her

They now saw her facing them with I
her slender blade leveled, her back to
the wall, her eyes shining dangerously. |

charge of the guard, seeing Alice and

In his pain, rage and haste he mad

4 Two or three bayonets were leveled
upon Alice. Some one kicked Jean
clean across the room, and he lay there,
curled up In his hairy night wrap, look

At this point new performer came
upon the stage, dark robed thing so
active that its outlines changed elu-

animal clad somewhat to resemble

Farnsworth, who always slept with an
ear open. reached Roussillon place and
quickly quoted things. He was trou

out the true state of the affair. for
there was nothing that he could do but !

thought little of ordering file Of sol I

the governors stern cruelty-how could
he do it? This time there would be no
hope for her.
Alice stood before him flushed, oil
sheveled, defiant, sword in hand, beau
tiful and terrible as an angel. The
black figure. man or devil, had disap-
peared as strangely as it had come.

along about Aug. 8 the Republican
reached the conclusion that railroad
assessments had not been greatly

OF the executive council. for the official
figures and showed the Republican
that the actual assessment on new
mileage was s4s2.l97 instead of $3.50
GOO, as claimed in Cedar Rapids, and
chat the real increase in the assessment
was nearly 100000. This slight err
