There is house in this city on

the reorganizing influence of the po-
lice.
A recent instance of queer things
point to this conclusion: Not long
ago a fellow arrived lin town looking
for lodgings. He was directed to this
establishment by man he met on
the street, and upon inquiring for lodg

price, but the fellow had but 80 cents
and felt like that amount. AS a
result of the debate which followed
this demand, male inmates of the
house were called and the fellow was
hustled into the street minus his ov-

extra money wanted. In a restaur-
ant, later, the stranger met an &C
quaintance, and, telling of his expert
ence, the friend went over to the
house and succeeded in getting the
coat.
A number of ructions have occurr-
ed there and the police have been
called more than once to take care of
men who were making a rough house,
but no arrests have been made.
If half the reports are true this
place would be a proper subject for

whir, like the clap of wings. heard a
intervals, accounted for the scars. Bomb
of rock were being hurled from the gree
tubes.
That he was in the range of rakinl
volcano fire did not impress this ant
clinging to the beard of A giant. Up,
knees and hands, he crawled-up over the
throbbing chin, to the black pounded lip
of the monster. Out of the old lake cOlled
the furious tower of steam and rock-dust
which mushroomed in high air. like the
primal nebul@ from which the worlds
were made. Pockets of gas exploded in
the heights, rending the periphery as the
veil of the temple was rent. Only this
to see, but sounds not meant for the ears
of man. sounds which seemed to saw his
skull in twain-the laundering engines
of the planet.
The rocky rim of the lake was hot t.
his hands and knees, but he could not go
back. A thought in his brain held him
there with thrilling bands-the same
thought which Hayden Breen evolved as
he stood at the edge of the Brooklyn
pier. But it was only play
thing of mind-the vagary of altitude and
immensely. did ever a man clog live
volcano? Did ever suicidal genius con-
ceive of corrupting such majesty of force
with his pygmy purpose" The
irreverent query righted the balances.
There he lay. sprawled at the edge OF
the universal mystery, at the secret en-
trance to the chamber of earth's dyna-
mos. The edge of the pit shook with the
frightful work going on below, yet he was
not slain. The torrent burst past and
upward, clean as a missing bullet. The
bombs of rock canted out from sheer
weight and fell behind him. That which
he compromised although his eyes saw
only the gray laundering cataclysm-was
never before imagined in the mind Of
man.
The gray blackened. The roar dwin.
died, and his senses reeled. With rush
of saliva the linen dropped from his open
mouth. Constable was sure that there
was a gaping cleft in his skull. for he
could feel the air blowing in and out, cold
and colder. He tried to lift has hands
to cover the sensitive wound. but they
CROPPED in vain for his head. With the
icy draughts of air, he seemed to hear,
family, his name falling upon the barred
ganglion.
Peter! Peter Constable !"
He strained his face toward the sound.
The lower part of his body would not
move. He was uncoupled. like beast
whose spine is broken.
"Peter! Oh. Peter Constable" he
heard again.

A Victim Of Lepro.y.

with a young man in whose family
there was the faint Of leprosy, though
he apparently did not have 1t. One
night sitting at dinner he became an
cry at waiter and brought his hand
down on the table with full force. He
Instantly realized that he did not feel
the blow and sat looking at his hand.
his face whitening with horror. Give
me your knife, Bob,' he said to his
chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in
frenzy and stabbed the side of his
hand with vicious cuts from finger
tips to wrist. You may not know that
leprosy appears in the side of the hand
numbness being a sign. The man did
not feel the cuts. He arose from the
table, knocking over his chair. rushed
out into the courtyard of the hotel. and
we heard the quick tang of revolver
shot. telling us how he had conquered
the leper's curse by ending his life."

ATOMIC WORLDS.

There May BE a Billion Of Them In
Speck of Dust.
How would you like to live in an
atomic be one of the millions of in
habitants of a world so small that you
cannot even see it beneath a micro
scope?
The scientists tell us that each atom
is a solar system, with it's central sun
and revolving planets in their orbits,
and that little atom people live and love
and fight and die there and never know
but what they are just the biggest and
most important folks that live. There
are military atomites there no doubt,
who strut around and get tangled up in
their swords and give orders in gruf
voices; actor atomites who star IN
atomic theaters and are adored by love-
ly atomite maidens and criticised by
the trenchant pens of the newspaper
men.
There Is every reason to believe that
life in the atom is much like life in the
earth and that the kings and emperors
there make war ON their distant enc
mics and have their peace conferences
and their periods Of financial stringen-
cy. The joke of it is that they probably
take themselves seriously, and, though
there may be billion atomic worlds in
a speck of dust, there Is never an In
habitant Of one Of them that knows
how small he Is and how much he miss
es by not being man instead Of an
atomite.-New York World.

INDIAN "WOOD FACES"

Strange Religious Rites Observed
Among the Ancient Senecas.
Up in the northeast corner Of Okla
homa there is a small band Of Seneca
Indians on a reservation Of The same
name, says the Kansas City Star. This
is a remnant Of a nation of Indians
that can be traced from the original
New England States, as they were fore
ed west and south by the encrOachment
of the whites and the battle arm Of
stronger Indian bands that were con-
stantly warning against them.
Among this little band of Indians,
probably not more than 100 all told,
there are some curious heather rites
that seem to be instructive with the
tribe.
Among them there is an old order
known as 1.-The Wood Face" Those who
belong to the order can call in the
wood Faces" in case of sickness, as is
often done. They go through per-
Torrance that is calculated to drive out
from the sick person the evil spirit that
may be lowering around the bed. These
faces are masks made out of wood. usu-
ally carved to represent a human form
of some character, but sometimes made
to represent the head of an animal.
They are painted red and black. with
large silver eyes and a horse tail for
hair.
Arrayed in one Of these hideOus
masks, together with rattles made Of
turtle shells fastened together at the
upper edges with small stones inside
and tied to the legs Of the Wood
Faces" as they dance, roll and kick,
singing their incantations the while,
the Indians present a scene calculated
to drive away any evil spirit that might
happen along and incidentally drive the
life out of the patient. While all this
Is going on it is also customary to pour
ashes on the head Of the patient.
1t appears that this organization has
been in the tribe for many generations,
the modes Of procedure differing some
times, but following the same general
character. Its secret signs and SYM
bols are guarded as closely as Masonry
and it's fraternal features are as bind
ing. Its spiritual benefits are believed
in as implicitly as does any white man
believe in his religion.

CHAPTER IX.-(Continued.)

81 confess l cannot understand you,
DEAR" she said. What consideration is
due a gentleman who is rendered speech
less by the accusation of a newspaper?
What depth is there to his feeling for
your welfare when he rushes away blind
ly and remains throughout the day, while
you are here at the foot of bursting vol
cano, as he pointed out. You will find
that 1 am right, Lara. Mr.. Constable is
not even a worthy accomplish to the tai
ented Stembridge. He is without speech
or valor. What remains when a man is
neither brain nor brute?" Her voice had
not been raised, and Mrs. Stansbury left
the library before Lara formed an an
swer.
The torturing hours crawled by. The
gray afternoon turned to dusk, and the
dusk to night. The north was Redeemed
by Pelee's frelit cone, which the thick
vapor dimmed and blurred. The rumblings
were constant. Lara was suffering to
fight out her battle alone. She asked no
more than this. A thousand times she
paced across her room scores of visits she
made to Constable's window, straining
her eyes northward. along the road
through the day and darkness, to the end
of all things-the mountain Uncle
Joey came to plead with her, but she
begged him to go away. Her brain was a
livid track of flying, futile agonies. In
the evening the intermittent rumblings
gave way to growing, constant and in
cessant. 1t was as if steady stream of
heavy vehicles was pounding over a wood
en- bridge. There was a pang in each
phase of the monster, since the man had
gone up into that red roar. 1t was near
ly midnight when the girl in the upper
room heard step upon the veranda.
Uncle joey" she called at the plant
er's door, make haste; there is some
Sody below!"
The moments of waiting assailed the
very roots of her reason. The voice that
she heard at last was Breen's.
Il beg that you'll forgive me, Mr.. Wall,
for arousing you at this hour, but it is
necessary for me to have a few words
with Miss Stansbury."
"Sir," the planter replied, anything
which concerns yourself is of no moment
to Miss Stansbury. If your message is
from Mr.. Constable, you may tell him
70 come himself or send native"
Il dislike to appear insistent, Mr..
WALL" Breen replied, without irritation,
'but l cannot count my errand accom-
plished until l have heard from Miss
Stansbury. If she should refuse to see

II am coming down, Mr.. Breen," Lara
called over the baluster. "Uncle Joey,

She turned to re-enter her room for
garment. Her mothers figure barred the
open doorway.
