Hardy gazed at him for a moment,
and then sudden comprehension
seized him.
Good" he cried. "good!"
Springing to a counter he jerked
down a long priests robe and tall hat.
Mordecai was c%rouching between
bales of cloth. From these Hardy
dragged him forth.
Here, man." he commanded, put
these on and go out by the back door
and walk hurriedly away! Walk all
night, then throw them away. You
will be safe as Don as you are out of
Stryetensk. Come, come, man, hold
out your arms! There! It's your only
chance. Here, put on the hat and let
me hang this cross about your neck.
When you hear me talking to the
mob, let him out of the back door,
Wang. Go with the boy, l tell you,
man. The mob will be in here soon.
Good-by! and good luck!"
He seized the terrified mans hand,
which was cold and limp as the hand
of a dead man, and then scrambled up
the ladder. The uproar without had
commenced again, and the pounding
on the door was being renewed.
He threw open the shutter Of the
window and looked out. There were
at least 500 people in the crowd, many
of whom were carrying flaming
torches, which they held high above
their heads. All ages were repre-
sented, from babes in the arms Of
mothers to old men and bewhiskered
countrymen in blouses and high boots
Hardy noticed several policemen in
the throng, as we'll as two or three
priests.
There he isl" shouted some one
and the cry went up:
1.-THE Jew! The Jew! Throw hin
out to us. Let US In to him!"
What do you want of him." asked
Hardy.
1--WE want to play with him!" cam
the reply, followed by horrid, crue
laughter.

Perhaps God sent me to you'll"
Hardy stood for a moment in deer
thought.
"You are a very bright boy" he
said at last. 81 really believe you
could do this thing better than l. Run
then to the Jewish quarter and see
what is going on. Then hasten to the
house of Mordecai Baruch-do YOU

That happened 1900 years ago"
He is making sport of u.s." howled
the mob. "He is a Jew himself"
Tell u.s." sneered the tall man, "are
you a Jew?"
Il am not a Jew" replied Hardy,
firmly. 81 am a Christian. There is
not a drop of Hebrew blood in my
veins"
Then prove it to us. It has been
said that you are a Jew. If you are
a Christian, you will throw out the
Jew, that we may tear him in pieces,
that we may beat him to death. Act
quickly, for we must have the Jew!"
And again that awful cry went up.
"The Moschke! The Moschke! The
Jew! The Jew!"
Hardy felt a light touch on his arm,
and Wang whispered to him:
He is gone, he has got away"
Friends" said Hardy in a calm,
clear voice, 81 cannot meet your test.
There is no Jew here. l give you my
word that Mordecai is not here"
Vasili now stood out from the
others.
"Mr. Hardy" he said, 1--WE saw him
run in this direction. We are sure
he was coming here. Where else
could he he seek protection, save in
the house of his companion and
friend?" This s%neeringly.

The Russians will hardly dare attack
American property. Then run back
to me as fast as you can"
YES, excellency."
The boy was gone, and Hardy, after
watching his slender form as it flew
down the street until it disappeared
around the corner, turned and re-en-
tered the store. Removing his coat
and hat, he sat down at his table, and
awaited the boys return. The more
he thought of this, occurrence, the
stranger 1t seemed to him. Seldom
had he acted so purely on Impulse as
in the present instance. But the boy
had come up to him so suddenly, he
was so quick-witted and his PROPOSE
ton so sensible, that there was no re-
sisting him. Hardy had heard that
the Koreans were a bright race, natur-
ally, but never before had he received
personal evidence Of the fact. He now
concluded that they compared favor
ably in this respect with the preco-
cious Japanese.
In less than half an hour the boy
was back. The housekeeper brought
him to the door of Hardy's living
room and admitted him. He had the
girlish cast of features that had made
it so difficult for Hardy to distinguish
between the Korean boys and girls in
Vladivostok. His hair was drawn up
into a tight knot on top Of his head,
and his face, save for a livid seal
across his right cheek and temple,
vas positively beautiful.
"Well?" said Hardy.
"The worst Is happening" said the
boy, quietly. "The wolves are bowling
and have already smelled blood. They
are maddened by the scent of 1t. They
are demolishing the Jewish houses,
are stealing their valuables and burn
ing their furniture. A number Of the
Jews are barricaded in the Jewish
store, and a great crowd is collected
in front, bowling for blood. Mordecai
and his mother have disappeared"

1T will do no good" said the boy,

tear me to pieces!"
And, indeed, at that moment the
sound of savage voices could be heard,
louder and louder as they came near
er, shrieking, barking, bowling:
"Moschke! Moschke! The Jew! The
Jew!"
Mordecai sank to the floor and
threw his arms about Hardy's knees.
"Save me, save me! and l will be
your slave"
Hardy seized the man by his Shout
ders, shook him roughly and pulled
him to his feet.
Get up, man. he said, quietly,
land pull yourself together. l will
do all I can for you. Wang, take
him away from the door-take him
back into the store. They may hear

Eyes! Yes!' chartered Mordecai, Il

have money, I will make you rich!"
There was a sudden crash, a loud
hammering on the iron shutter. Evil

Beneath were the words:

Hardy arose and paced the floor, his
hands in his pockets. From time to

was silence without.

Hardy did not realize till that mo-

felt that he could have talked Chinese

Fatigue has been shown to be a
poisoning of the body through the ac-
emulation Of waste products under
certain conditions, and some 20 years
ago Prof. Mosso Of Turin found that
the illness sometimes following the
eating of the flesh of game or cattle is
due to overfatigue Of the animals at
the time of slaughter. The active
agent was found to be a specific tox-
inc, instead Of an alkaloid, like the
strychnine and brucine produced by
plants. The toxine was insulated by
DR.. Weichert, and proved to act as an
anti-toxine in small injections, while
large injections produced the symp-
toms Of fatigue, followed by death. A
firm Of German chemists has now pro
duced an antidote for fatigue by a

CHAPTER XIV.
"War. MY Boy, War!"

"War, My Boy, War!"
Hardy ran through the large prin,
cipal room of the store, lighted by a
single kerosene lamp with reflector,
to the door. This he opened and be-
gan to shove up the iron shutter. He
had not raised it more than two feet
when Mordecai glided through be-
meath it and slammed it down again.
He was chattering with fright. Even
by that dim light Hardy could see
that the Jews face was the color of
veal and that his eyes were dilated
with horror.
Save me! Save mel" he pleaded,
hoarsely, as he fumbled at the big key
with trembling fingers, vainly trying
to lock the door.
"Hark!" he whispered, "the Chris.
tians are after me! Do you not hear

ments at the closed door through
which his clerk had just disappeared.
This is getting serious" he NUT
tered at last, rising. 1T may even
result in serious consequences to the
store
Up to this moment he had not been
able to realize that human beings,
many of whom could read and write,
could be capable Of such fanaticism,
or that credenee in the medieval SUI
perstition Of child-sacrifice could still
exist. The thought that he was alone
here in the midst of this irresponsible
population gave him uneasiness as to
his own safety. He wondered how
generally the report was circulated
that he himself was a Jew, and the
suspicion crept through his mind that
perhaps Vasili was responsible for it.
Could 1t be possible that the Russian
cherished ambitions of being made
manager? Hardy looked at his pistol
and determined, if it became neces-
sary, to defend himself. But as for
Baruch, would it be possible to do any
thing for him? There were, he re-
m%embered, about a dozen Jewish fam
lilies in town, whose residences were
clustered together in one quarter,
while the house in which Baruch dwelt
with his aged mother was at some dis
lance from these. Perhaps 1t would
be possible to reach Mordeeai before
the Christians got there and warn him.
If necessary, he would offer the Jew
the shelter of the store. He seized
his hat and went out into the dimly-
lighted street. He had gone only a
short distance when q boy stopped
him with a OBTAINING hand. Hardy
looked down and his eyes fell on a
Korean youth. He knew instantly that
it was a Korean from the costume:
Baggy trousers, loose blouse and hat
of bamboo frame covered with hair
cloth.

CAMPBBElL VS.. HAWKINS.

The Navasota Examiner.Review asks
of The Eagle: Don't you agree with
us that the treatment accorded Mr..
Hawkins by both the governor and
the senate was despicable in the ex-
IRENE? We cannot believe the square
deal folks of Texas will permit
faithful public servant to suffer in con.
sequence of such high-handed pro-
ceedings."
The Eagle has no Partially for Gov.
ernor Campbell and no prejudice
against Mr.. Hawkins, but it does not
know all the facts. There were some
good men in the senate who voted
against the confirmation of Mr. Haw.
kins and, as at present advised, we
cannot denounce them for so doing.
If Mr.. Hawkins had resigned when the
issue was made he would have deserv-
ed, and would have received. more
sympathy. 1t was a courtesy due, not
to Thomas NJ. Campbell, but to the
governor of Texas.
