back.

you'll be all right in moment Sar-
toris said. II don't profess to your wonder
full medical knowledge, but some things 1
know, and one of them is how to treat a
man in your condition. What you regard as
poison is a strong dose of sal-vola tile-as
strong a dose as l dare venture to give
even a powerful man like you. Now drink
this coffee"
There was a ring of comman nd in the tone
which was not to be disobeyed. AS soon
as Brentwood had regained his power of
speech he drank his coffee. After the harsh
astringent drug, the flavor was soothing and
gratifying. In marvelously short space of
time the big man grew quiet and a little
ashamed of himself. His face was less red,
he became more quiet and subdued in his
manner.
II am truly sorry Sartoris," he said. I'm
afraid I was very drunk and rude just now.
But 1 was not entirely to blame. Would
any man be entirely to blame who had led
seen, the things that 1 should like to find
out! Then the madness comes on me and
l must drink or destroy myself. 1 fought
for the possession of myself today until
was mere nervous rag of a man, II had
fought much longer I should have blown
my brains out. And what would you have
done them"
THE mans tone was eager, almost pas
that the expression of his face could not
be seen by any one.
"Say no more about it, he said. "You
are quite sober now, which Is the important
part of the case. 1 will discuss the other
matter with you future occasion"
The speakers tones were smooth enough,
but his eyes cleaned like Goals Of fire. He
was bending again and fumbling with the
straps of the great packing case Field,
watching everything intently, asked Ber-
rington what he thought of it all.
II hardly know what to think" the latter
whispered. This has been a night of sur
prises-therefore You will be prepared to
hear that know the man Brentwood WELL"
you mean that you knew him In India?"
Field asked.
Yes, years ago. He was an army sur
geon, and quite the cleverest man at his
profession that ever had the privilege to
meet. He might have made a large fortune
In England, but he got into some trouble
the same in India. Brentwood had a positive
genius for the occult and underground.
After time very few white people cared
to associate with him and he became the
companion of the dervishes and the mullahs
and all that class, whose secrets he learned
l believe he is the only European who ever
went through the process of being buried
alive. That secret was never betrayed be-
fore, and yet yonder fellow got to the bot
tom of it. Also he learned all the secret
poisons that they use out yonder and we
were pretty sure that he was mixed up in
the great scandal that followed the sad
death of the Rajah of Abgalli. You recol-
lect that?"
Field nodded. He had a fine memory for
all stories of that kind.
I'VE always said that Brentwood was the
actual eulprit, and that he experimental

new results Some said that the rajah COM

purchase. Very steadily Sartoris steered
his chair to the side of the big case on the
floor, and his hands began to tumble with
the strings.
The front door opened with a bang that
startled everybody, for nerves were strung
up to high tension and the least noise came
with a startling force. The door burst

eyes, reeled across the hall and almost col

The big red-faced man reached his hand
out and Sartoris caught him savage blow
on the knuckles. The little mans face was
livid with fury, his eyes flashed like electric
points.
Pig, beast, drunken hound he screamed
Have you no sense of shame or duty?
After tonight will give you a lesson After
tonight You shall know what it Is to play
with me-
The man called Brentwood lapsed into sud-
den dignity.
Very WELL" he said. Have it your own
way When you say that l am drunk
you outrage my feelings. You don't seem
to understand that you can't get on with
out me. If like to snap my fingers in your
face you are powerless. But do nothing
of the kind-such is not my nature Give
me glass of brandy and l shall be myself
again.
Just for moment Sartoris seemed to be
fighting down the rage that consumed him.
1t was evidently big struggle, but the
mastery came
Very WELL" he said. I'm do as you
want. Wait moment"
The invalid carriage rolled rapidly across
the room and down long passage to the
back of the house. When Sartoris came
back again he had a glass In his hand and
a cup of black coffee balanced on the chair
before him. Brentwood snatched eagerly at
the glass and drained it at gulp. Then he

by keeping alive an agency OF good IN a

adopted the deliberate program of getting
into his church those who never would
come near were it not in the direct line to
seven theaterS.
For this purpose he planned to have an
attraction every Sunday night.
He enlisted the sounding brass ana the
making of a joyful noise, so often referred
to in the holy writ. as agencies for the
saving of souls, stole the devils thunder
so to speak and his unique methods bore
such fruit that the church has hardly been
large enough during the past few weeks
to hold It's attendants.
Since the time that DR.. Goodchild took
charge of the church-he has served
twelve years. twice long as any of his
many predecessors-the congregation has
been increased by 600 members. More

tendance from the many hotels in its neigh
borhood.
Dr. Goodchild makes his sermons have
some bearing the musical features OF
the program, so that these do not seem like
detached incidents having no connection
with the religious purpose of a church
service. He tells the story of the sacred
music executed by the whistler or per
former on the wine glasses, somth1ng
about the life OF the composer. and In
case of famous religious members, he tells
the part they played in the history of the
church.
In picking his performers Or. Goodchild
is careful first to assure himself that they
are processing Christians. then he makes
sure that they have the right kind of a
program.
The Juggler Monk.
There Is pretty story in the French of
Jules Lemaitre, about juggler who turn

tired he found that all of the monks had
some special accomplishment which they
used for the glory of the Most High One

third painted Scriptural scenes on the walls
of the convent, another worked ornaments
for the altar.
And the juggler monk returned because
he could do none Of these things to glorify
his maker.
Then suddenly he recalled his proficiency
as juggler. In all reverence he took his
place in front of the altar, and lying on
his back, with feet raised. juggle- half

Richford seemed to be vague and irritated.

From the room opposite came the sound of
somebody moving a heavy package of some

Another Good Recipe for Kleiner.

Beat the yolks of six eggs and two whole
eggs with one-quarter pound sugar, brown
or white. Stir well, then add two table
spoonfuls cream, one ounce of butter which
has been freed from salt, and as much of
pound of flour as is needed to keep the
dough from sticking to your hands. The
less flour used the better the cakes will be.
If difficult to roll out, half cup of water
may be added to the dough. Roll out thin
as a knife blade, cut into diamond shapes
and cut a cross in the center, then fry in
boiling fat. This quantity will make about
100 cakes.
