CHAPTER XII.

Mcrdaunt Royce looked round with
scornful defiance. Il have burned

A dead silence fell upon them all
and BERTHE stood aghast and appalled,
for the moment
Mordaunt Royce stepped back TO
the fireplace and regained his old atti-
tude, his glance shifting from Miss
Mazurka, who sat regarding him with
the most marked self-possession, to
Lord BERTHE. who seemed utterly non.
plussed by this admission of villainy.
IF you had listened to me-" said
Mordaunt Royce, hoarsely; 'if you
had treated me with common fairness,
| would have dealt openly with you
But you forget that a man driven to
bay is desperate. The will is burned,
and as he spoke he drew paper from
his pocket and dropped it into the fire.
Emily saw the action and cried out
warningly.
''Look. Look! He has thrown
something in the fire just now."
BERTHE srang forward. but Mordaunt
Royce, exerting all his strength, kept
him back for the halfminute required
to consume the paper; the rest seemed

Royce forced smile to his white
lips.

strange scene Miss Mazurka speaks

and he turned swiftly to her with a

gesture, for Heavens sake, send them

everything. All, GOMEZ" and he held
out his hands.
She shrank back, her hand on Bert
les arm, and her eyes fixed on Nor
daunt Royce's face as if she would read
his soul.
She read there in his eyes enough
to convince her. With a sigh that
was almost a groan, she held up her
hand as if to put him from her. and
turned her head away.
With cry, low and fierce, and full
of infinite despair. he put his hand
before his eyes, as if to shut out her
gaze, then staggered unsteadily t, the
door.
Quick" cried Miss Mazurka, and
as she spoke BERTHE rushed forward
seized the retreating man by the arm,
and swung him round against the wall
Give ME the will" he said, in a
stern voice.
Mordaunt Royce looked at him with
world of hate and malice.

resigned the fortune which that will

He raised his eyes for a moment and
shot baleful glance at Joan, then
turned to Miss Mazurka with a sar-
donic smile

said, slowly, softly: very clever: but

Miss Mazurka returned his glance
without word.
BERTHE paced up and down, overcome
for moment by the deliberate, cold
blooded villainy of the man he had
once trusted and believed in as a
friend. Emily barely understood the
ramifcations of the plot, yet realized
that Joan had lost fortune, wept
silently.
Joan alone seemed quite untouched
by the incident.
There was a moment or two of
silence, then Mcrdaunr Royce raised
his cleaning eyes.
May ask, Lord Dewsbury, what
is the next step you intend taking? Is
it your desire that this scene should
be prolonged? have an important
engagement which demands my pres

BERTHE. pale and stern, looked him

And although that was all that pass

stood, his dark eyes turning from Bert

the old mans eyes fell for the first

he shrank back against the wall.

shaking hand in the direction of Joan.

There was intense silence for a mo-

Royce screwed up his courage.

Lord Dewsbury. Don't you see the
condition of the old man you have

We first tested the product for two
years, through physicians and hospi-
tails, in this country and others. We
proved 1t in thousands Of the most
difficult cases obtainable. We cured
with 1t every disease which was con-
sidered incurable.
Then we spent 100000 to give a
million bottles away-to let a million
sick ones try 1t. We thus staked a
total Of 100000 right at the start, on
our absolute faith in this product.
Can anyone suppose that we made
such an investment without knowing
that Liquozone would do what we
claimed for 1t?
We publish no testimonials, no evil
dence of cures; no letters from ply
sicians or patients, though we have
more such letters than any other con-
Germ in the world. We simply buy a
bottle of Liquozone for each sick one
we learn of, and ask him to see for
himself what it does. Don't you know
that a product must have remarkable

SIXTEEN TO
TWO
LEWISTON TEAM EASY FOR
SPOKANE PROFESSIONALS
CARNEY AND LOUCKS IN THE
BOX FOR THE INDIANS.
(By Jimmy Cullins.)

What Chief Reilly and his Indians
did to small tribe of Lewistons down
on the banks of the Clearwater yes
terday was heartrending and cruel. 1t
was almost a shutout for the bad lit
tie men who had the gall to go up
against the clever Indians.
Before the game it was publicly an
nounced that Reilly's men would try to
perform their speciality trick of knock
ing the spots out of the score card
and shutting the Lewistons out alto
gether. They did the one and came
near doing the other. The Lewiston
boys played like lot of Idaho women
going to the polls to vote. Their wings
wouldn't operate properly, their feet
acted as though there were chunks
of lead tied to them, and they were
otherwise sorely distressed in body and
mind.
Nine Men Famed.
Reilly put Carney and Loucks in
the box. Carney, you know. can make
rings around himself early in the sea-
son, and he not only made little cir
cles in the box yesterday, but he made
the Lewistons look like bunch of
fellows getting up about noon n Sun
day after night out. He struck out
five men in the first five innings and
then Loucks, not to be outdone, went
into the box and made more rings, and
in the next four innings struck out
four Lewistons.
The game was one-sided slugging
match-six three-baggers and three two
baggers-20 hits in all off the two Lew
ton twirlers. A thousand people saw
the game. The score

has Vladivostok comparatively few

In a short time, with only a single

Contradictory reports come from

that IL has been stripped of its heavy

The Japanese attack on this 81

the latter hypothasis was correct.

What Liquozone Is

Liquozone is the result Of a process
which, for more than 20 years. has
been the constant subject of sciefitific
and chemical research. It's virtues
are derived solely from gas-lafgely
oxygen gas-by a process requiring
immense apparatus and IA days'sN mS.
Each cubic inch Of Liquozone re-
quires the use Of 1850 cubic inches
of the gas. 1t is this remarkable
condensation that gives Liquozone its
power-the power to do what oxygen
does. n q
Liquozone is not made by conn
pounding drugs, nor 10 there anI ak
cohol in It. Nothing whatever goes
into it save the gas and the liquid

the mind Of those who planned the
defenses. After all, q modern s.2-
inch Jubilee gun carries 20 miles, and
the newest 12-inch gun will go as far.
while the new six-inch weapon is
usually credited with is miles easy.

believe the four Russian cruisers
are still at vladivostok. and that they
were in the harbor when the bonn
bardment by the Japanese took place.
On the other hand. there are several
reports to the effect that they are at
sea. One statement points to their
having left to carry on a guerre de
course in northern waters; another
says they are about to lombard some
towns on the west coast Of Japan;
while yet a further version is that
they were of Gensan. These rumors
are so contradictory that they de-
stroy each other.
If these Russian vessels are out Of
vladivostok they must return to har-
Dor sooner or later for coal and pro-
visions, and the Japanese squadron
will apparently be right across their
track. No, doubt whether the YES
, sells have left Vladivostok.
After their last cruise. facing a
succession of gales and covered with
ice, they probably suffered some dam
age, and as they are great coal eaters
the work Of repair, coaling and re-
victualing at a poorly-equipped port
like Vladivostok would not be quickly
accomplished.
If they have put to sea, the task
Of getting them ready was carried
| out with commendable promptness,
| and If the Japanese squadron off the
| port is Of the strength imagine they
| may find it less easy to return than
| they anticipated.
There is one point about the pres
ence Of these Japanese ships of
Vladivostok that is worth remem-
| bering. The ice, though 1t Is becom-
ing thinner, Is still thick, and there
are foes. The ice-breaker, imagine,
| must still be kept at work, and If this
vessel appears the Japanese will d.
rect all their energies to sinking her
| If the wind IS inshore, the ice packs
in 80 as to become very troublesome.
The attackers understand this. More
/ over, the fact that the Japanese
squadron has been able to get within
suggests that, whether the Russian
ships are within the harbor or out
side. Vladivostok may be rendered as
difficult of ingress and egress as Port
Arthur itself.
