!es he rougnr the mad brutes.
 "This way" she panted, catching him by the coat, and pulling him toward the window.
 An, that was it. He saw her now It steadied his senses. It was the girl and she had called him-''Mortimer!"
 'Back," he yelled, irrelevantly, in an- swer, cutting Diablo across the face with the fork. It was pandemonium.
 "Get through the window the girl screamed in his ear. Quick! Now and she gave him a push toward it.
 "You--frst-back, you devils!" and he pressed away from her, closer to the horses, thrusting and striking with the steel-pointed> fork.
 The horses were giving away; Diab- To was fighting half through the door, weakening before the assault of the powerful chestnut. Even in battle, as in race, the stamina of the Lazzarone blood was telling.
 Quick! You can get out!" called the girl.
 "You flrst!"
 This drear repetition was the only expression Mortimers numbed senses were equal to: but he fought with the ferocity of tiger.
 They could both escape, Allis knew, if she could bring Mortimer to under stand; but they must do 1t quick, if at all. It was useless. He seemed con- scious of but the one idea that he must drive the fighting animals out into the passage to save her. She was not afraid now; 1t was useless to speak to him of the window, neither would go first; so with her riding whip she fought side by side with Mortimer; springing back from the swift-cutting forefeet; sometimes even hugging close to the side of the horse as he lashed out from behind; and once saved her companion from being cut down by pulling him swiftly from un- der raised foot. In the end the stall lions were forced out into the passage, just as Mike came rushing upon the scene.
 But the battle had waned. Twice Diablo had been pulled to his knees, forced down by the free strength that was Laazanne's; the black was all but conquered. The trainers voice checked Lauzanne's fury; even the boy had plucked up courage to return; and be- tween them the chestnut was driven into his stall All the fight had been taken out of DiabIo. He struggled to his feet and stood trembling like 8 horse that had come out of a fierce cutting race. On his neck were the marks of Lauzanne's sharp teet, where they had snapped like the jaws of 8 trap; from his crest trickled 8 red stream. All the fierce fire of hate had gone from his eyes. He hung his head dejectedly, his Hanks Quivered. Lau- game, too, bore evidence of the vicious strife. On one quarter, where Diablo's sharp hoof had ripped, was cut as though he had been lashed with q

mind; also the knowledge that Mike was beyond hearing.
 Help, Mortimer" she called.
 He heard it as he reached the sta ble door. Even then he would have been too late had not other rescue come more quickly.
 Tn rushing from Lauzanne's stall AL lis had left the door swinging on its hinges. At the first cry of defiance from the black stallion Lauzanne had stretched high his head and sent back, with curled nostril, an answering chal lenge. Then with ears cooked he had waited for a charge from his natural enemy. When the mingled call of his mistress and Diablo's bugle note came to him, he waited no longer, but rushed across the passage and seized the black horse by the crest just as he was over towering the girl.
 It was at that instant Mortimer reached the scene-in his hand stable fork he had grabbed as he raced down the passage. Even Lauzanne's attack, though it gave Allis a respite. would not have saved her life; the madly fighting horses would have kicked and trampled her to death.
 "My God! Back, back, you Gevils!" And pushing, crowding, hugging the side of the stall, Mortimer fought his way to the girl.
 Once Diablo's hoof shot out and the mans left arm, snapplng like pistol, dropped useless at his side His brain reeled with the shock The oddly swing ing arm. dangling like dolls, with the palm turned backward, seemed to fas- cinate him. Why was he there? What was he doing? Why was he hammering the horses over the head with a stable fork held tightly in his right hand? He hardly knew; his mind was clouded; he was fighting by instinct, and always crowding along the wall toward the farther corner. The girl had quite faded from his sight. Somehow he felt that he must drive the horses back, back, | out of the stall
 Allis. too, was fighting; bringing the crop down with cutting force over the withers, neck, head, any part of thep eplung- ing mass in front of her. She could escape now through the opening where the boy had gone; but was not Mortimer in the same position she had been. She had seen him drop to his knees when Diablo flashed out; he must be sorely hurt; now he was reeling like drunken man

A.
 The noise of strife in Diablo's box Mad increased. There came the sound of blows on the horses ribs; muttered oath. and suddenly a scream of terror from the boy, drowned in an instant Ehy the feorcious battle cry of the en- lraged stallion. Mortimer, thirty yards away, heard it, and felt his heart stand tstill; he had never heard anything so sdemoniac in his life. He turned in such haste that his foot slipped on the frozen earth, and he fell heavily.
 At the first sound of blows Allis had Istarted angrily toward Diablo's box. She was at the door when Shandy's cry of terror rang out. For an instant the girl hesitated; what she saw was enough to make strong man quail. EThe black stallion was loose; with lcrunching jaws he had fastened on the larm of Shandy. in the corner of the Istall, and was trying to pull the boy down that he might trample him to death. But for second she faltered; if ever quick action were needed, it was now.
 ''Back-back, Diablo! back!" she cried, as pushing past the black demon she brought her hunting-crop down with Iull force between his ears.
 :, Whether 1t was the sound of his mis- Sress' voice, or the staggering blow, Di- able dropped the boy like crushed rat and. half rearing, looked viciously at SAe brave girl.
 Quick! through the hay window!" Eommanded AAllis, standing between 6handy and the horse, and drawing the whip back over her shoulder, ready to give 1t to Diablo full in the throat should he charge again.
 Cowed, the boy clambered through the opening. Enraged at the sight of his assailant's escape, the horse gave an- other scream of defiance, and sought with striking forefeet and spread jaws to pull down this new enemy. Not until then had Allis thought of calling for help; her one idea had been for the boy s safety.
 Like flash the full peril of the sit- nation dawned upon her. She had seen two stallions fight, and knew that their Eerocious natures, once reused, could only be quelled by force stronger than she possessed. Yes, surely she would be killed, her young life trampled out by the frenzied animal. Incoherently but altogether these thoughts filled her

ent degrees of subjection. but. as Fate knew, all subject.
 Mrs. Porter's continued lament on the subject of racing had given Crane 8 keynote for his line of action. He had an impulse to buy back Lauzanne. For almost the first time in his life ex- perienced twinges of remorse; this was because of Allis. Porter's affairs were in bad way, and he would probably accept eagerly an offer from Crane to tighten his load. Individually he cared little for Porter's financial troubles. but it was good opportunity to pre- pare the way for a stronger pressing of his suit with the girl
 With the master of Ringwood he went very straight to the point. This was possible. as Porter could not hcsi- tate to discuss his financial condition with his banker. Crane offered to buy Lucretia; this with him was purely g speculation, but Porter would not part with his little mare. When the banker spoke of Lauzanne, saying that he felt somewhat guilty since learning that his horse had been doped. Porter fail- ed, to see where Crane had anything to do with it. But the latter insisted that he had unwittingiy helped Lang don by speaking of Lauzanne as good horse. He had known nothing of the matter, beyond, that his trainer had assured him the horse would win: in fact, he had backed him.
 Porter laughed at the idea that re- spcnsibility could attach to Crane. As to the chestnut, he was not worth . tenth of the three thousand he bad cost-that was we'll known; and if Crane or any other man sought to buy him at that price it would savor too much of charity. At any rate, Lau- zanne belonged to Allis, and Crane would have to bargain with her.
 Then there was Diablo, Crane said; his presence was menace to Miss Porter.
 i've nursed him for good while" Porter replied, "and he'E bad betting proposition-he's too uncertain. You don't want such a horse as that-no- body does."
 Crane did not press the point; he understood Porter's motives through out. He knew the master of Ringwood was an unchanging man, very set in his ways, adhering closely to his plans and opinions. So Crane went back to Brookf1eld without purchasing horse, saying as he left, .I claim first privi- lege when you wish to sell"
 Crane, driving back to Brookfleld, turned over in his mind the matter of his mission. He was satisfied. He had succeeded in the main objective point. It would have been good move to have acquired Lucretia, to have tempt ed her owner to part with her for ready money in sight The money would soon have disappeared: then Porter, with lot of bad horses on his hands, would almost certainly have come more firmly into the grasp of Crane. The offer to buy Lauzanne had been bit of. saving grace. faint, gen. erous impulse, begot of Allis' regen- erating influence; but Crane had dis covered that Porter did not at all sus- pect him of interest in the fraud-that was great something. He had also established himself firmly in Mrs. Por- ter's good graces, as he could see. It would be indeed strange if in the end he did not succeed completely.

Outside of her family little interest," ed Allis but horses; certainly not very lofty aspiration. Patiently it was difficult to become interested in such young woman; actually she monopo- lized the thoughts of at least two men. Inconsistently the fair offender felt no recoil of this somewhat distressing sit uation; her mind busied itself chiefly over the reclamation of Lauzanne.
 By inheritance all the qualities of good horse had come to him except & submissive temper Allis worked on the theory that his disposition had been set awry by injudicious handling; that unlimited patience would cause him to forget all that.

THE way TO mans heart is
through his stomach" an old saying
meaning that TO win a man you must
feed him we'll.
IL this is not true, il is still true in
another sense that the way to q mans
heart is through his stomach. Many
persons imagine that they have heart
disease when it is only indigestion.
This is how il comes about. The
stomach distended by gas, crowds the
heart and gives the feeling that the
trouble is in the heart.

DIVORCE IS UP AGAIN
QUESTION OF CONCURRENCE nr.-
 FORE THE DEPUTIEs.
Matter Ia Sent to . Commlttee Alter a Parliamentary sI<iPmish-AIatfex
 of Negro Bishop is Deferred.

Boston. Oct. 1s.-The divorce issua again came before the Episcopal con. vention today. but no final action wal taken on several resolutions referrinR to the subject which were presented.
 The House of Bishops sent a mes. sage to Deputies informing them that the Bishops had voted to forbid inc marriage of any divorced persons. hut when the matter was laid before the Deputies on the question of concur renee, Rev Drs. Leads. Parks and w. D. Hunting. both of New York, imme. diately set the parliamentary machin- cry in motion to defeat or at least sidetrack the Bishops resolution. Af- ter a brief but spirited skIrmish the matter was referred to a committee from which 1t can be called at any time
 During the forenoon several reEolu- tions favoring a stricter canon on marriage and. divorce were referred to a committed.
 A joint commission appointed three years ago presented an extended re. port recommending that all dioceses and missionary districts be grouped into seven provinces. each province to have authority to legislate on matters which do not conflict with the general convention. Each province is to elect A primate to preside over it. The re- port will be acted upon later. The House of Deputies today decided to refer a proposition to elect a ne- gro bishop for the Southern States to the next conventions
