he pressed upward, sheltering his
eyes with uplifted arm, and seeking
passage where the scarcity of under
brush rendered the zone of fire less
impossible. He could see scarcely
three yards in advance, but to tho
rear the narrow lane of retreat re-
manned open. Standing there, as
though in the mouth of a furnace, the
red flames scorching his face, Brant
followed his hands for call.
Hampton" The word rang out
over the Internal cracking and roar
ing like the note of trumpet.
"Ay! What is it," The returning
voice was plainly not Hampton's yet
it came from directly in front, and
not far away.
Who are you? Is that you, Mar
shal?"
"Thet's the ticket" answered the
voice, gruffly, IAN just as full O. fight
es ever"
Brant lifted his jacket to protect
his face from the scorching heat.
There was certainly no time to lose
in any exchange of compliments.
I'm Brant, lieutenant Seventh cav
airy" he cried, choking with the thick
ening smoke. MY troop has scatter
ed those fellows who were hunting
you. I'll protect you and your prison
er, but you'll have to get out of there
at once. Can you locate me and make
dash for it? Wrap your coats around
your heads, and leave your guns be-
hind"
An instant he waited for the an
swer, fairly writhing in the intense
heat, then Mason shouted, "Hamp
toms been shot, and I'm winged lit
tie; can't carry him."
Brant ripped off his jacket, wrapped
it about his face, damned handker
chief into his mouth and with a prayer

in his heart, leaped forward into the
seemingly narrow fringe of fire in his
front. Head down, he ran blindly,
stumbling forward as he struck the
ore-dump, and beating out with his
hands the sparks that scorched his
clothing. The smoke appeared to roll
higher from the ground here, and the
coughing soldier crept up beneath it,
breathing the hot air, and feeling as
though his entire body were afire.
Mason, his countenance black and I'M
recognizable, his shirt soaked with
blood, peered into his face.
Hell, amt it," he sputtered, but
you're a dandy, all right"
rs Hampton dead?"
Il reckon not. Got hit bad, though"
Brant cast one glance into the
white, unconscious face of his rival,

There, that will do. Now keep as
close as you can so as to steady him

They sprang directly into the lurid
flames, bending low, Brant's hands
grasping the inert form lying across
his shoulder. They dashed stumbling
through the black, smouldering lane
beyond. Halfway down this, the
ground yet hot beneath their feet, the

man leap from the back window of the
Occidental. Is that true?"
The missionary nodded.
Good; then come along with me.
l intend breaking the back of this
lynching business right here and
now"
He strobe directly across the street
to the steps Of the Occidental, his
clothing scarcely more than smolder-
ing rags. The crowd stared at him
sullenly; then suddenly a reaction
came, and the American spirit of fair
play, the frontier appreciation of bull
dog courage, burst forth into a con-
fused murmur, that became half a
cheer. Brant did not mince his
words.
Now, look here, men! If you want
any more trouble, we're here to ac-
commodate you. Fighting is our
trade. and we don't mind working at
it. But wish to tell you right now,
and straight on the handle, that you
are simply making parcel of fools
Of yourselves. Slayin has been killed,
and nine out of ten among you are
secretly glad of it. He was a curse
to this camp, but because some of his
friends and cronies-thugs, gamblers
and dive keepers-accuse Bob Hamp-
ton of having killed him, you start in
blindly to lynch Hampton, never even
waiting to find out whether the charge
is the truth or lie. You act like
sheep, not American citizens. Now
that we have pounded a little sense
into some of you. perhaps you'll listen
to the facts, and IL you must hang

length of the waist. The smartest Of
these will be tight fitting. 4
For the wear of most women, how
ever, the costumes offered in even thel
smart shops will have these Jackets
semi-fitting and of the longer rather
than the shorter lengths.
The semi-ftting coat is much the
best for every one for morning andi
general travelling wear. Many al
woman wears different corsets, differ
ent in length and build, and she may,
wear whichever is most comfortableI
and look as we'll in the semi-fittingi
coat. The tight coat, however, de-.
mands ones triggest corset. Another,
strong point in favor of the semi-fittedi
coat is that the thin woman looks
more rounded, while the exuberance of
the too plump figure is not defined,
but pleasingly yelled.
A feature of the new spring coats
will be the pointed skirts. Some Of
these will be pointed in the front and.
in the back, or will have the pointed
front and rounded back, or points on
the Sides
Some of the coat skirts will be
slashed and these slashes will in some
instances have buttonholes worked in
on one side-real buttonholes-and on
the other a row of buttons. Short
slashes will be outlined with length
| wise strips of braid.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Dor Closes.

Totally exhausted, the two men
dropped their heavy burden on the
earth. Mason swore as the blood be
gan dripping again from his wound,
which had been torn afresh in his eff
forts to bear Hampton to safety. Just
below them a mounted trooper caught
sight of them and came forward. He
failed to recognize his officer in the
begrimed person before him, until
called to attention by the voice of
command.
Sims, if there is any water in your
canteen, hand it over. Good; here,
Marshal, use this. Now, Sims, note
what l say carefully, and don't waste
a minute Tell the first sergeant to
send file of men up here with some
sort of litter, on the run. Then you
ride to the Herndon house-the yellow
house where the roads fork, you re-
member-and tell Miss Nadia ellis

Hampton has been seriously wounded

Can you remember that?"

He was gone instantly, and Brant
began bathing the pallid, upturned
face.
You'd better lie down, Marshal,
he commanded. You're pretty veal

CHAPTER XIV.
The Rescue of Miss Spencer.


While Hampton fingered between
life and death, assiduously waited
upon by both Nadia and Mrs. Guffy,
Brant nursed his burns, far more Sc
rious than he had at first supposed,
within the sanctity of his tent. Glen
caid meanwhile recovered from its
mania of lynch law, and even began
shame over what was so plainly
mistake. And the populace were also
beginning to exhibit no small degree
of interest in the weighty matters
which concerned the discriminating
love affairs OF Miss Spencer.
Almost from her earliest arrival the
extensive cattle and mining interests
of the neighborhood became aggres-
sively arrayed against each other; and
now, as the fierce personal rivalry be-
tween Messrs. Moffat and Mcneil
grew more intense, the breach per-
ceptibly widened. While the infatua-
ton of Rev. Mr.. Wynkoop for this
same fascinating young lady was
plainly to be seen, his chances in the
race were not seriously regarded by
the more active partisans upon either
side.
The regular patrons of the Miners
Retreat were backing Mr.. Moffat to a
man, while those claiming headquar-
tiers at the Occidental were equally
ardent in their support of the pros
poets of Mr.. Mcneil. 1t must be con-
fessed that Miss Spencer fiirted out
rageously and enjoyed life as she
never had done in the effete east.

ton talks the future over with Miss Gill
lis-the Kid. She shows him her moth
'er's picture and tells him what she can
of her parentage and life. They decide
she shall live with Mrs Herndon. Nadia
the Kid-runs away from Mrs. Herndon's
and retoins Hampton. He induces her to
go back and to have nothing more to do
with him. Hampton plays his last game
of cards. lie announces to Red Slavin
that he has quit, and then leaves Glen

informs him as to who she is. and Tat
she is to meet Hampton. Brant and
Hampton meet. Hampton informs the
lieutenant that his attentions to NaiGa
must cease. and proclaims an authority
over her that justifies the statement.
Brant tells Hampton of the presence of
Silent Murphy. and of the fact that Red
Slavin receives government messages for
him. Miss Spencer called on Bob Hamp-
ton. Tells him of red-faced stranger
MISLEADING her for Nadia. Brant inter
views Red Slavin. Finds that he is an eX-
trooper in the Seventh cavalry. 1t was
SaVins and Murphy's testimony that
more than ten years before had convicted
Robert Nolan, then captain in the Sew
enth, of the murder of Maj. Brant, Sr.
Hampton attempts to force u confession
from Slavin. Slavin insists it is Murphy
lie wants, and Murphy had left. In a
SCufie Slavin is killed by a knife thrust.
Hampton surrenders to Buck Mason,
marshal. Mob attempts to capture him.
Mason and his prisoner escape to n hill
and defend themselves. Mob lights fire
TO burn them out. Brant tells Nadia that
he loves her. She tells him there is an
inSurmountable barrier between them
but that she does not fully understand
It. Brant and his troop rescueS Hampton
and Mason from the fires set by the
mob. Brant carries the unconscious
gambler through the lines of fire

Brant tripped and fell. Mason beat
out the smouldering sparks in his
clothing, and assisted him to stagger
to his feet once more. Then together
they bore him slowly de- below the

MULA1 HAFID ON DISORDER IN FEz.
Our Tangier Correspondent, under date
October s, says =
An incident occurred last Friday in the
Mosque of Mulai Idris, the patron Saint of
Fee, which, though of no Importance, Gre
ated some little stir in the capital. During
afternoon prayers an individual suddenly
rose up and proclaimed as Satan, Mulai
Mohammed, the eldest brother OF Abdul Aziz
and Mulai Hafd. A little panic ensued,
but the man was promptly arrested and
logged. He is believed TO have been drunk.
The same evening Mulai Hafd addressed
She notables OF Fee, expressing himself as
dissatisfied with the maintenance OF order
in the city, and complaining bitterly OF the
increase of drunkenness, which was forbid
den by religion, and of the state of the cafes.
He informed the notables of the city that he
would hold them personally responsible for
the misdeeds and bad behaviour of the pop
u~latiou, and ordered all the cafes to be
closed at al early hour in future.-L6id

gard of pouring rain William Ven Sleet this
afternoon made two balloon ascensions, tax
ing with him on one trip DR.. Sidney 8.
Stowell and on the other Superintendent
Crafts, of the Pittsfeld Gas Company.
The Heart of the Berkshires assembled two
thousand feet the first trip and four Thousand
the second, demonstrating that rain storms
are no hindrance to ballooning.
Charles j. Glidden and Wilhelm Carroll
Hill, Of Boston, were to have assembled this
afternoon, but postponed their trips until
Thursday because of the rain. Mr.. Van
Sleet, however, was anxious to test the avail
ability of q balloon during a storm. Only
$40 pounds of ballast were used, in place Of
the customary 400 pounds.
For more than an hour the balloon hung
almost motion!ess over the city at an altitude
of 1000 feet. In clear weather balloons
customarily soon disappear. Thousands Of
persons stood in the rain watching the spec
tocie. SCHOOLS were dismissed and many
stores and shops suspended work.
Mr.. Luke y. Minehan, president of the
Aero Club, and Messrs. Glidden, Hill and
Crafts followed the course If the first ascen-
sion in an automobile. They were success
full in conversing with the aeronauts by the use
Of megaphones. At no time did the rain
boat down the b1lloon, as many had predict
ed. Three elderly women, tw, miles north
east of the city, reached the balloon when 10

HUGE GAIN IN STEEL BUSINESS.
Corporations Net Receipts in Quarter Show
S. 1000, 600 Increase.

No better indication Of the return of pros
perity has been offered than the quarterly re-
port oil the United States Steel Corporation,
which was issued yesterday. It showed O
gain of 81 100000 in net receipts over the
previous quarter. For many weeks there
have been guesses as to the showing, and
estimates placed the earning at more than
$26, 900, 900, and most of them were
for 5000, 600. The actual figures were
$27,1 o. ,274.
The statementsis for the quarter ended
September SO. A high official OF the corpor-
alton was asked yesterday whether earnings
had been good thus far in October. He re-
Piled that it was not necessary to talk of
thai because the report for July, August and
September was good enough. The report
was issued afterthe quarterly meeting of the
directors, at which he regular dividends of Il
per cent, on the preferred stock and ], OF /
per cent, on the common stock were deciar.
ed. These dividends go to about 115,C0O
persons.
The report showed a steady growth in
business. In July net earnings were IS,
$4,000. in August 50, 1921 ard in Sep.
TENDER $9,354, 333. Although ST, 900, 900

hand, the earnings exceeded those for the

to medical opinion, he affirmed, smoking BY
young persons, even in moderation, had q
bad effect upon their development. The
Government, recognizing the evil, wished by
this legislation to cooperate with the par.

because boys did not smoke under the eyes
Of their parents. There was considerable
