Of the Assumption here he was baptized.
He was the youngest OF q family Of ten chill
dren.
His parents and members OF the family
removed to Pottawatomie county. Okla,
where there are now many members OF that
tribe. In the southern part OF that county
the Catholics in an early day established a
great community-a monastery, schools,
and the like. The Missionaries OF that church
naturally came and worked amoug the Indians

sent 10 the school. He WIS an interesting
child. readily tractable. and he applied himself
TO his studies. Mother Katherine DrexeI,
daughter Of the millionaire Drexel Of Phila-
delphia. on the occasion Of one of her period
ical visits. took notice Of this particular little
Indian boy. She never forgot him. and when
he became old enough she sent him TO the
large Indian school at Carlisle, Pa. Later he
was transferred to the Catholic College at
Washington. D. C.. with the purpose In view
Of educating him for the priesthood.
He was the honor man at Washington.

don -SimpIIciIy Of Manner.

The opening of Nine. Curie's course Of
lectures on chemistry at the Sorbonne in
the beginning OF the current month resem-
blsd rather a first night at a leading theatre
than an educational or scientific event.
An hour and a half before the time set for
the first lecture the physical science amphi-
theatre was filed and the Dumas gallery
Leading TO it waS crowded with several
hundred persons, who waited before the
closed doors of the room as IL in the hope
that some miracle would open them.

however. The attitude Of all. both within
and without the lecture hall, was reverential.
People spoke in whispers. as il in a church.
the Partisan papers report. The talk was
chiefly praise Of the Ministry. which, tmme-
diately upon NJ. Curie's tragic death. had
appointed his equally gifted widow to carry
on his work OF instruction.
When Nine. Curie apeared. with two
ushers TO lead her TO her desk, according
70 the ceremonial Of the Sorbonne, there
wasa great burst Of applause, which lasted
q considerable time. To this she responded
merely with a slight inclination Of her head
and plunged at once into her discourse.
Nine. Curie is Of medium height. Her
face is thin from long hours in the labor
atory it expresses, however. a rare energy.
Her grizzled hair is brushed back without
the least attempt at adornment. Her
ewes. deeply sunken under her brows, still
glitter with a fire that denotes will power,
h wore a black cloth dress which the
women voted Rrightfully plain (dfrsuse-
nent simpler.
There had been much speculation as to
whether she would preface her lecture with
any allusioE TO her husband and as 10
vhether she would display any emotion in
thus publicly taking hs place. She did
neither. Taking her place behind the desk
laden with apparatus, she plunged directly
into her subject, which was Atomic Struc-

low and monotonous. Her manner il rather

ness soon caught the attention OF the
audience, and she was followed TO the end
with breathless interest, which repeatedly
expressed itself in bursts OF applause,
which was renewed at h close. She re-
ceived these tributes with hardly a smile
and Acknowledged them with slight. per-
functory mods. Before the final plaudits
had died out she slipped out Of the room a.

CHAPTER xI.-Continued.
Dick loses his breath, he is so
amazed to see the New York girl
here. What has brought her? He
sees that she is wrapped in heavy
cloak and has doubtless worn veil
over her face.
why have you come here, Miss
Westerley?" he asks, somewhat
shocked to see her.
ITO save you," she replies in some
confusion.
What? You knew was in dan
ger-you have been warned Of this
fire."
She mods her head eagerly.
Yes, she came to the hotel almost
frantic with apprehension, and begged
me to warn you. The boarding house
was unknown to her."
you mean Juanita lopez" he
cries.
YES, the beautiful Mexican girl.
She overheard the plotters, and learn
ed enough to know what they meant
to do in order to seek revenge, but
could not find out the location AS
last resort she came to me, and hur-
ried as fast as l could, but l greatly
feared / came too late. How did you
escape, Mr.. Denver?"
'T was not in the house at all
but poor Bob, l fear the worst for
him.
While speaking, Dick calls to mind
the words of the man who was with
Senior Barcelona at the time they at
tackled him on the street, and they
seem doubly significant now in the
new light of things.
Think, monsieur, 1t will be for
nothing-we have taken all the risk
for nothing"
He undoubtedly meant the incen-
diary fire; the passing in review of

There, he has done it! Will they be
saved or lost?" tt.i
Bob, holding the terrified girl with
one arm, fastens his foot in the loop
grasps the rope, and then gives a
war-whoop that is heard like the re-
port of a rifle above the clamor of
flames and engines.
Hoist away"
Those above have been taking
glimpses at him-they now set to
work to draw the double burden up
Danger menaces Bob on all sides. The
rope is slender, and, subjected to a
double strain, may break. Again, one
tongue of fame is likely to cut it in
two. They are far from being safe
yet.
Now they are at the coping-hands
are seen to stretch out; they take the
girl from the clasp of the nearly ex-
hausted American.
Somehow his clutch upon the rope
is lost, and he falls over backward.
Dick gives a shout; a mighty shud-
der convulses the crowd below. Then
comes a cheer. The loop has caught
about Bob's ankle; he bangles head
downward. forty feet and more above
the ground, and in this condition is
drawn up over the edge of the roof.
Again the crowd shouts and laughs
There do not seem to be any more
wretched human beings in danger of
death. Let the fire have it's own and
devour wood and furniture-it has
been cheated of its prey through the
cool daring of man who knows not
the meaning of the word fear.
Dick turns to his companion, his
face, lately so pale, now flushed, and
his eyes sparkling.
What do you think of that Miss
Pauline? Wasn't it worth looking at?
Did you ever see such brave fellow
in all your life? Heaven bless Bob

magnetism of his own.

Nevertheless, 1t is the motive we
remember in a case like this. Bob

of those unfortunates. and lost his
own life in the attempt"
"Yes I realize that; but let the

Lesson In Patience.

There are two women in the walt
ing room at the railway station. One
of them is tall and thin and OF the
appearance which is sometimes de-
scribed as nervous, yet she sits with
folded hands, placidly gazing at moth
ing.
The other woman is plump and
pretty. By every evidence of feature
and build she should be joyous and
contented, yet she is fidgeting
around; she cannot sit in one place
more than two minutes; she gets up
and walks to the door, and then to
the windows; she keeps looking
about necessarily and from time to
time she signs anXiously.
May | ask" inquiries the tall, thin
woman, eff there is any worry on
your mind?"
Eyes, there is" responds the
plump, pretty woman. 81 am waiting
for my husband"
But that should not worry You.
How long have you been waiting?i
'It's-let me see-what time is itg
It's forty minutes now"
Forty minutes? My dear woman!

forty years, but you see l am not

Barcelona and his lieutenants has an
easy explanation now.
"Listen what are they shouting"
exclaims Miss Pauline in some ex-
element.
Dick is already thrilled by the
thought that this magnificent crea-
ture, the woman he has already learn
ed to love, has taken this dangerous
midnight trip to save his life.
Her words arouse him; he remem-
bers that he has no business now to
be thinking of himself when human
lives are in peril. Perhaps he might
be instrumental in saving some one,
though he dislikes leaving Miss Pau
line alone in the crowd. Now he
catches the cries. All heads are bent
back, and every eye seems to be
watching something that is going on
above-something that commands the
admiration of these Parisians, who
have a quick eye for bravery.
THE brave American" is what
they exclaim, and Dick is also thrilled
when his eyes take in the situation
above.
Through the fire and smoke he sees
a man on the fiat roof Of the burning
house. Some one is perhaps sitting
on his legs, for at least half his body
hangs over the coping, and in this
way he can reach the window of the
upper hall, where a number Of
wretched people have clustered, as
though there can be safety in thus
coming together. In this man Dick
recognizes Colonel Bob. The present
Sheriff of Secora county was once a
Cincinnati fireman attached to the
famous Gifts, and thus it happens he
knows many of the tricks of the
| trade.
Though not a large man, he has
the power of Samson in his arms
and back. A pair of arms are out.
stretched to the daring rescuer, he
clutches them above the elbows. and
lifts the woman up until some one
else on the roof can catch hold, when
she disappears over the coping and
the crowd below gives a subdued
cheer.
One has been saved, but there are
others left Already has Colonel Boil
taken hold Of a second, and with q
tremendous pull raises her as he die

Though he sees the flames rushing
nearer, the man from New Mexico
will not give up his task. When thel

way finally arrive at the ground.

so many owe their lives, and Miss
Pauline echoes his words, for she can
appreciate bravery, no matter by
whom shown.
81 only wish Dora were here to
see him." the girl from New York
says, and Dick smiles because he
knows it does not need such spec
tacle to make Dora adore his friend.
There goes the last one, seven in all!
Nobly done, old fellow! Now save
YOURSELF" cries Dick, hoping the 9th
er may hear, but this is rendered i'm
possible, for the crowd sets up deaf
ening clamor that rises above the roar
of the flames, and makes the welkin
ring, a cheer to let the hero on the
roof know they appreciate his actions
and can admire bravery no matter by
whom shown-Frenchman American,
Turk, or Arab.
Look! he seems 10th to go. There
is some one at the window below.
On my life, l believe it is a young girl!

her excitement Miss Pauline clings
closer to the man at her side.
mot quite yet Colonel Bob sees
her. 1t is that sight which holds him.
What would he do?"
"He has something in his hands"
Eyes, yes, coiled rope; there, he
drops it over, it hangs in front of the
window, he motions to her to put her
foot in the loop"
"And she is too dazed with fear
even to see the rope. Poor thing,
death will claim her." says Pauline,
every nerve strained under the ten
sion.
mot yet, not yet! See that my
friend of mine! How proud | am to
call him my comrade! He is already
over the edge of the roof. Strong
hands hold the rope above to pull
them up; but the flames are terribly
close, and I'm afraid Bob has gone be-
yond his depth this time. There, he
is down at the window. Good heav-
ems! he plunges inside to get blan-
ket with which to enwrap the girl.

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DIR. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffelo, N. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. This fact
alone places DIR. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines in class all by themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or se2ret
medicines because they are neither. his
is why so many unprejudiced physlfans
prescribe them and recommend tnern TO
their patients. They. know what they
are composed of, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities
The further fact that neither DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic, liver invikorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
ssFavorite Prescription" for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
TO place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, Of proper
strength, is better solvent and preServ-
alive of the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than is alcoholi and, further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demmcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient
antiferment
Neither of the above medicines con-

forming drug, as will be seen from q
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think Of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position Of DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers Of the
several, schools Of practice. No iother
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
