Rickart was aware of the old proverbial - wo-
man in the case" who had planted the sting.
Rlckart. like a worried animal following the
footsteps of his master, sought vainly all night
to head Van off and quiet him down in bed. At
midnight, in McCoppet's gambling hall where
Van perhaps expected to encounter the jump
ers of his claim, the little cashier succeeded at
last in commanding Vans attention. Van had
a glass of stuff in his hand. stuff too strong to
be scathed by all the pure food enactments in
the world
Look here, boy!" said Rickart, clutching
the horseman's wrist in his hand. :" Do YOU
know that Gettysburg and Nap and Dave
camping on the desert, waiting for you to come
home,
Van looked at him steadily. He was far
from being dizzied in his brain. Since the blow
received at the hands OF Beth had not Sutticed
to make him utterly witless, then nothing
could overcome his reason. Home: he said.
Waiting for me to come home!'
Suddenly wrenching his hand from Rickarts
grip, he hurled the glass of, liquor with all his
might against the mirror of the bar. The
crash rose high above the din of human voices.
A radiating star abruptly created in the
armament of glass, and Van was starting for
the door
The barkeeper scarcely turned his head. He
was serving half a dozen men. and he sad,
Gents, what's your poison?
A crowd of half intoxicated jewellers started
for Van and attempted to haul him back. He
flung them off like lot of pestferous puppies
and cleared the door.
He went straight to the hay yard saddled
his horse, and headed up over the mountains.
He had eaten dinner; he wanted none. The
fresh, clean air began its work of restoration.
IT was daylight when he reached the camp his
partners had made on the desert Napoleon
and Gettysburg were drunk Discouraged by
his long delay, homeless and utterly disheart-
ened, they had readily succumbed to the con-
veniently bottled sympathy of friends.
No sooner had the horseman aghted at the
camp than Napoleon flung himself upon him:
He was weeping, What did sh-sh-sh-sh-'
(whistle) shay" he Intercepted brokenly.

mean to git in thish condition. Van-didnt go
to do it, he impaired confdentially. Serpent

Van resumed his paternal role with a need
of ready forgiveness. Let him who hath an
untainted breath cast the first bottle, he said.

qualified and Algy was asleep

he said My friends took care Of that"
Il thought there was something in the wind,
all along" impaired the little cashier "Bost-
wick and McCoppet have been thicker than
thieves for week. But the money they
needed wasn't Bostwcks | wired to New
York to get his standing, and he's got about
as much as pin. But the girl stood in. you
bet, She's got enough and dug up thirty
thousand bucks to handle the crowds ex-
penses.
Van Strengthened up slowly The girl"
Miss Kent-engaged to Bostwick-you
ought to know" replied the man behind the
counter. She's put up the dough- and guess
she's in the game; for she turned it all over
like man
Van laughed, suddenly, almost terribly.
" Oh, pshaw, Rick, come out and git drink
he said. He, - as he noted a bottle in the
desk, give me some of that
Rickart gave him the bottle and glass. He
poured stiff amber draft and raised it on
high, wild, fevered look in his eyes.
Here's to the gods of law and order!' he
said. Here's to faith, hope, and charity!
Here's to friendship honor and loyalty!
Here's to the gallant little minority that love
their neighbors as themselves! Give me perfidy
or give me death! Murray for treason, strategy,
and spoils!''
He drank the liquid fire at one reckless gulp,
and. laughing again in CHASTITY humor lurched
suddenly out at the open door and across to
the nearest saloon
Rickart, in sudden apprehension for the boy
he genuinely loved, called to him shrilly; but
in vain Then he ran to the telephone. rang
up the office of the Sheriff, and presently had
deputy on the wire.
Say, friend" he called, If Bostwick or Nc
Coppet should return to camp tonight. warn
them to keep off the street. Van Buren's in,
and l don't want the boy to mix himself IN
trouble
"All right" came the answer. I'm on"
TN less than an hour the town was Men
returning by the score and dozen, nineteen
out of every twenty exhausted, angered with
disappointment and clamorous for refresh
ments, filled the streets, saloons and eating
houses, all of them talking of the Laughing
Water claim, and all of them ready to sympa-
thize with Van-especially at his expense.
His night was mixture of wildness, out
Trainings of satire on the virtues witty defiance
of the fates and recklessness of everything save
reference to woman. Not word escaped his

FACTS ABOUT CROWNS

THE oldest and perhaps most interesting of
l. the roval crowns of Europe is the famous
Iron Crown of Lombardy, which was one of the
crowns Of the Austrian Empcrors while they
masters of the Lombardo- Venetian King
dom, and is still treasured in the cathedral At
Mona Italy
This crown of iron. though chiefly of gold.
derived its name from an iron band that
circled 1t in the interior, which said to have
been made from one of the nails that served in
the crucifxion of Christ. Napoleon wore it
when he was crowned King of Italy. 1t is said
that. though through all these centuries the
iron band has never been touched, 1t has at no
time showed any mark of rust.
The crown of Hungary, which now, OF
course. is possessed by Franz Josef of Austria
is a curious one 1t consists of circle of gold
lavlShlv leweled with pearls and other costly
gems, to which Is attached ancient ByZan-
tine crown bearing an enormous sapphire in
setting of green stones There Is a legend to
the effect that this came into the possession of
kossuth, the Hungarian patriot. something
half century ago and that despite the
most digent search trace of it could be
found for five wears Then it was discovered
by peasant in a hollow tree and restored to
the Hapsburg family.
1t is said that the lightest European crown is
that of Great Britain. made for Queen Victoria
some seventy years ago. This weighs only two
pounds but despite this fact its value Is eSt1-
mated at one million six hundred thousand
dollars. In form 1T is a circle OF gold, adorned
with pearls, diamonds, TuDleS, ana OIner
precious stones. One enormous sapphire came
from the signet of Edward the Confessor.
There is a ruby which has tragic history. 1t
was at one time possessed by a royal Prince of
the House of Granada, whom Pedro the Cruel
invited to his palace and basely murdered
through greed for this gem
The most militant in form of European
crowns is that of Germany, which shows eight
shields bearing alternate black eagles and
jeweled crosses while poised on four swords
blazing with diamonds is globe crowned with
a cross of gold
The Popes have for many centuries worn
triple crown. which is designed to signify their
ecclesiastical, civil. and judicial supremacy 1t
consists of long cap or tiara of golden CLOTH
enCircled by three cOrOnetS. one rising above
the other. surnounted by mound and cross
of gold. In the present Pope's treasurehouse
are two crowns valued at two million five hum
dred thousand dollars. One the gift of
Napoleon to Plus VII, and contains the largest
emerald in the world. The other, the gift of
Queen Isabella of Spain to Plus TX, weighs
three pounds and is worth one million dollars
The crown. which plays SO important part
in the coronation ceremonies of most European
sovereigns. has, however, no place in such cere-
mony in Spain Belgium, and Turkey. In the
Ottoman Empire its place is taken by sword
which is regarded the symbol of divine
authority.

How Your Floors Look
After Long Use

That's the real test of Floor Finish
ELASTICA stands this test.
ELASTICA Floor Finish keeps its origi-
nal beauty-its smoothness and lustre-
right through the hardest daily use.
The secret is in our special treatment
and ageing of the oil.
1t is the mastery of the oil that has
enabled us, after forty years of varnish
making experience, to produce varnish
that remains tough and elastic, when it
is dry on the floor.
1t is the lack of this oil perfection that
causes ordinary varnishes to become brit
tie in short time.
A year ago ten pieces of glass were
coated with ten different brands of floor
finish, one of which was ELASTICA.
The coats of these pieces of glass have
just been tested with a pen knife. One
coat after another cracked in every di-
rection. and flew to pieces. Nine coats
were thus destroyed.
The tenth was the piece coated with
'ELASTlCA. The knife blade was slipped
under the finish and it was raised up clean
and whole like ribbon.
