CHAPTER XII.


With the rejuvenation of his aspect
Jethroe, Sr. took smarter gait and q
more upright carriage of the head. He
felt a sort of rebound from his late
middle age. A life spent largely in the
saddle, in free air and wild places, life
of risk and adventure, had kept him ply
sically young. He was playing for his
life now, and for great stake into the
bargain; but bis spirits were youthful
in their buoyancy, and he chuckled to
think of the deception he was preparing
for his pursuers.
He had settled himself costly beside the
fire with a novel when there came a tap
at the door, anu a waiter, in answer 10
his bidding, came in with visiting card
on a salver.
''Show the gentleman this way" said
Jethroe, and slipped into the bed cham
Der the instant the man had disappeared.
He left the door half open, and stood
silently laughing behind it until the Wis
itor was ushered into the adjoining room.
''That You, Harvey" he sang out
then, in big, CHEEKY voice.
Yes, SIR" said Harvey; sit is l."
Jethroe listened until he heard the
footsteps muff1ed on the carpet of the cor
ridor. Then he strolled nonchalantly
back to the sitting room with a smooth
face, and with a nod Of greeting such
as stranger offered, seated himself be-
side the fire and took up the book he had
laid down minute earlier. Harvey Jeth-
roe junior, hat in hand, stood at the la
ole and returned the greeting.
"Soldv' shouted his uncle, springing
to his feet. "Own up. Say you're Sold"
| He laughed boisterously at his neph-
ew's wondering face, and clipping him
by the shoulders by both hands, rocked
him to and fro.
"SoldY the younger man answered,
like belated echo. II never saw such
transformation in my life"

Jethroe senior, once more heavily clad
against the weather, found himself alone
in a section of a stateroom passenger
coach. with an unbroken run Of five
and-tventy miles before him. The wheels
had barely made their first revolution,
when Jethroe opened a small travelling
bag which lay on the seat before him,
and drew from it brand new pair Of
scissors and a hand toilet glass. He laid
these down while he unburdened himself
of the overcoat, the tall collar Of which
had been so turned up as to leave visi-
BILE little but the bridge of his nose and
the keen gray eyes which glowed below
his shaggy eyebrows He gathered his
great flowing beard in his left hand and
cut il away close TO the chin, and
thrust the severed hair into paper bag.
Then he took look at himself in the
toilet glass, and laughed.

task, which began to be more than q
little difficult and even in small way
dangerous, by reason Of the uneven jolt

glass after one experimental minute, and,
kneeling on the seat before him and
making use of the mirror below the car

whole beard and whiskers as close as he

rummaging, found a flask, a shaving

made a great lather, thrust handker-
chief between his collar and his throat
and, with much wincing and grimacing,
began to shave. He made a tolerable
piece of work of it, but shook his head
in grave disapproval of the general re

the flesh is affected in much the same
manner as when the skin is liberated
or the lungs are consumptive. That
is very seldom true. The most serious
disorders of the heart are quite differ
ent in their nature.
When a man or woman is under the
impression thu he or she has heart
disease there is one obvious duty-to
visit a reliable doctor, have the heart
examined and either have ones fears
set at rest or be given such advice as
will serve to remedy the condition.

"Cut-O Off" Trains

1t was rumored in Reno rail
road circles this week that as
soon as the Southern Pacific COM
pleted the Hazen cutoff. a
through train service would be
inaugurated between San Fran

If the rumor be correct the train
in question would leave the city
in the morning, arriving in Reno
in the evening and in Tonopah
the following morning.
The cutoff from Hazen to Fort

pleted in August, and at about
the same time the {. and c. and
Tonopah roads will be standard
gagged throughout, thus permit
ting a through service.

received by. the ministry of the inte-

killed during the fighting between
troops and Armenians at Baku, eau
casia, Sept. 2, with relatively large
number of wounded, the majority OF
whom are Tartars. No official account
of the event has been received, but
private dispatches report that corpses
are lying about the streets and that
incendiary fres have already de-
stroyed 15oe ildings and more are In
progress. The Armenians, after the
former disorders. supplied themselves
fully with arms and they are now al
most as well equipped for street fight
ing as the troops. The situation not
only at Baku but also throughout the
Caucasus has been exceedingly tense
for weeks. The disorders at Shusha
had just ceased when the street car
strike at Baku furnished the occasion
for another outbreak.
