should be shot? He had no wish to die like
an ignorant love smitten peasant in dirty
blouse!
Still Colonel Trevor interminably sighted
his weapon Finally he lowered it. 1t ap-
peared that his wrist had tired. After all,
there was no hurry. Why should he not rest
and so make his aim surer?
DERIET felt his knees grow weak. Then
terrible fear assailed. him and beat in
sistently upon his brain. 1t was the fear of
fear. What if he should faint like timid
schoolgirl at commencement before the trlg
ger was finally drawn? He had prayed in an
agony of Impotence for the sharp report and
the blackness, and now he must begin afresh
to brace his resolution.
Colonel Trevor was slowly moving his
pistol hand back and forth, drawing from his
wrist the cramp of the long aim. Perlet
heard the gasp of the two onlookers and the
physician who stood waiting. His eyes
ranging, though his face was held straight
to the front, caught the statuesqueness of
their unnatural attitudes. He knew how
the murderer feels as he kneels waiting be-
meath the raised blade of the guillotine, and
suddenly he felt oppressed with the realiza
ton that he himself was only different type
of murderer.
The Count heaved back his shoulders
which seemed burdened with the load of
Atlas, and set his face. He chung desperate
ly to the grim smile; but he knew that it had
become a miserable snirk and that under
the gray pallor of his cheeks showed the
greenish cast of sickened terror Something
in his throat seemed to be struggling to burst
out and he knew that which struggled there
was a scream. He would not after all die
unafraid. He would be visibly, papably
diving the towards death-and all because
he had for an antagonist a man who was
pleased to toy with his life and torture him
with delay
He saw his adversary vaguely. Trevor
seemed to have grown heroically tall and to
stand wavering, thing of gigantic proper
tions. The hand that for the second time
leveed the pistol seemed to reach across the
space between and press the weapon-thiS
time close to his breast He cast a quick
glance. as though seeking reinsurance, to-
ward the stifly erect Faurette; but Faurette's
pale face was an 1mpenetrable mask and was
turned toward the Colonel.
Then came an eternity. Periet stood rig
idly enough, but with the condition that a
fraction of a second might bring collapse,
and again after an eternity his adversary
paused and dropped the pistol at his side to
rest.
Compile de Periet gritted his teeth. His
tongue was clamped between them, and he
tasted the blood though he could not feel the
pain. Already he seemed to be inwardly
bleeding from every artery
THEN the pistol came up once more.
There was once more long, careful in

To Remove Dust
From the Hair

"Don't drench your head with water
every time your hair is dusty" says
Claribel Montague, the beauty expert.
- Too much moisture causes the hair to
become dead and dull.
When you want a perfect couture,
just take quick dry shampoo. Mix 4
ounces of therox with ounces of Orris
root and you will have a supply of dry
shampoo powder sufficient for all sum-
mer.
I" Sift the powder lightly and evenly
through the hair. Brush it out thor
ouehly-and it takes with it every par
ticle of dust and dirt. Therox immedi-
ately gives the hair a rich and glossy
luster. This mixture vitalizes the folli-
cles, and (if used regularity long and
abundant hair will be the result"

fear or pain. He wheeled wildly about as
top turns on its axis, and fell at length, face
downward his fingers convulsively clawing
the sod.
A groan of relief went up from those stand
ing about relief from the broken suspense
The physician was instantly at the side of
the PROSTATE figure. Compile de Periet lay
on his face, and his arms were outstretched
as though desperately clinging to the earth
from which he had been SO terribly banished.
The surgeon seized one wrist and felt for the
pulse.
Dead" he announced with crisp brevity.
Then they turned him, and into the
faces of those bending over came bewilder-
ment On the fine textured whteness of the
linen shirt was not to be found a single
stain save that of the earth to which he had
fallen
In excited haste the physician tore open
the clothing and examined the chest. There
were scars of old battles, rapier slashes long
since healed, the mark of bullet that had
once grazed the ribs-nothing more.
Mon Dieu!' whispered the doctor.
"There is no Woundi"
Colonel Trevor came slowly forward

Faurette, kneeling on the wet grass, turned
his face away from the lifeless one of his
friend and covered his eyes with his hands
as he sobbed bitterly.

Wheat market was firmer locally,

no change in quotations. Business
remains quiet, with no activity on the
part of exporters to promote sales,
although most of them say they are
willing to pay 79c to soc a bushel,

wheat at this time.
There was sharp advance in Liv-

IL steadier tone in cargoes, there is
practically no change in quotations,
and club is nominally placed at 1856

Private advices from Buenos Ayres
state that very little wheat is being
offered as yet and indications point
to considerable holding by producers
there.
Coarse grain values are generally
held intact. with only nominal am
cunt of business passing over the holi'
days. There is no sign of resump'
ton of eastern buying of brewing
barley here, but interior growers are
holding out for higher prices on this
hope.

Sales of good birds are being gem
orally made around soc pound,
while occasional transactions in extra
select are shown from that figure up
to 32c, although the extreme mark
was received only for limited num-
ber.
Live turkeys have sold as high as
25c a pound and this, too, is new
high record here.
The shortage of turkeys is the
greatest ever noted in this market.
Cold storage operators are getting
their birds out, but there is only
limited call for them, even though
freshly killed stock cannot be obtain
ed at any figure. The recent death
in this city of a mother and child,
after eating cold storage turkey, has
practically cut out all the demand
for ice house stock.
Along with the strength in the tur-
key market all poultry is quoted firm
and chickens are generally cent
higher.
