 Leaping over the prostrate form Thaida flew like deer. I heard the bar of Clarkes prison house fall Then the door of mine swung open. In the twinkling of an eye we were behind those little steel cages, Thaida be- tween us. At that instant the lights went out and we were in stygian darkness.
 At the end of the hall we heard the hurrying of many feet and the moans of men in terror of an awful death Al most mechanically we drew our weapons and began to empty four automatics into the blackness ahead I do not know whether or not any of our shots took effect. I heard no cries. When we stopped to reload and died away in the recesses of the roof all was still.

 We picked up the now fainting Thaida, dashed through the aura of flame and down the corridor, now in utter darkness. The door barred for Q moment our progress, but Clarkes fingers soon found the bolt and we were safe.

No MEDICINE But a Change of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that drugs are not the thing to rebuild worn out nerves, but proper food is required.
 There is a certain element in the cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is grown there by nature for food to brain and nerve tissue. This is the phos- phate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts food contains large proportion.
 In making this food all the food ele- ments in the two cereals, wheat and barley, are retained. That is why so many heretofore nervous and run down people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve and brain food.
 "I can say that Grape-Nuts food has done much for me as a nerve renew er,' writes a Wis. bride
 "A few years ago, before my mar riage, I was a bookkeeper in large firm. l became so nervous toward the end of each week that it seemed I must give up my position, which l could not afford to do.
 Mother purchased some Grape-Nuts and we found it not only delicious but l noticed from day to day that I was improving until I finally realized was not nervous any more.
 T have recommended it to friends as a brain and nerve food, never hav- ing found its equal. I owe much to Grape-Nuts as it saved me from a nervous collapse, and enabled me to retain my poSition :"

 Suddenly the stiffness was broken by voice from somewhere in the deep recesses of the cavern, a voice steely and cruel in it's icy suavity. | I looked. Yes. Thaida was there
 She seemed even more beautiful than in the brief period when I had before seen her. Her robes clung to the graceful outlines of her willowy form. Her black hair was coiled tight ly into a crown about her beautifully shaped head and in its tresses one red rose, matching perfectly the coral of her lips, was the only bit of color. | Proudly she walked, and Hypatia be- fore the monks of Cecil was not love Her nor more disdainful of her execu- 1 tioners.
 She took her place calmly before the

Had she steeled herself | to submit meekly to whatever be in store for her? Then ensued some ritualistic gibberish of which I could not catch the import, during which each member of the semicircle seized what looked to be a chalice from the altar and beat upon it with a short stick.

His arms were just about to fold her in their embrace when my straining eyes saw nvid green flash strike from the whiteness of her throat. Full upon the forehead of the count 1t hurtled. I saw him throw out his arms wildly as if trying to fight 1t off. But there 1t clung, writhing, glisten- ing streak of green.
