The San Bias struggled weakly, so he
frightened his grip until his fingers sank
into her flesh. She began TO gasp as if
from swift run; the open neck of her
garment slipped down over one shout
der; her eyes were distended until he
saw them ringed about with white. The
terror of this tall yellow man with the
hungry eyes robbed her of power, and
she let him drag her toward the tapping
water as if she were no more than some
weak, wild thing that he had trapped.
Although his words had made no i'm
preston whatever upon her, his grasp
and the direction he was drawing her in
Then she burst into life. But she made
no outcry, for ittakes strength TO scream,
and every atom of her force was directed
against his. She began TO moan. Her
every muscle writhed. With her free
hand she tore at his entwining fingers,
but they were like jungle creepers that
no human strength could serve to loosen.
And all the time he drew her with him,
speaking softly.
Then she felt him pause, and her dis
lracied vision beheld another figure en-
tering the shadows from the shore.
She called TO her lover hoarsely, and
saw him halt at the strange note, peering
inward for sight of her. She voiced
words now for the first time, crying:
The stranger! The strangern'
Then, hearing the scrape of her cap
tors machete as he drew ii from its
scabbard, she renewed her struggle more
fercely.
Captain Innocencio held the girl at
his left side until the last moment, bal

his arm; then, when the Indian was
close upon him, coming straight as a
dart, he freed himself A slanting

but the Haytian met the falling blow
with fierce upward stroke that once
before had done him service. 1t was
the stroke that had made him an exile
years before.
Innocencio's physical strength had
ever been his pride, if also his undoing;
above all things, he prided himself upon
the dexterity and vigor of his wrist.
His early training on that blood-red
Caribbean isle, and later life in thicket
and swamp, had served to transform the
cumbrous weapon into thing of life at
his hands. More than once, for in
stance, he had harried serpent until il
struck, for the mere satisfaction of sew
ering its head in mid course; and now
he felt the wide blade enter flesh. Be-

Old Engraved Rinqs.

Among the legends of Greece it is
told that the father of Pythagoras, the
famous Greek philosopher, was a cele-
brated engraver Of gems, and, accord
ing to classical history, both Helen of
Troy and Ulysses of Greece wore en-
graved rings. Engraving on stones
that were partly precious was an art
at very remote age. The British mu-
scum proudly boasts the possession Of
small square of yellow jasper bear
ing the figure of horse and the name
and titles of Amenophis H., believed
to date back to about the year 1850
B. c. The very finest specimen of en-
graved gem now in existence is head
of Nero carved on a first water dia-
mond by the brothers Castanzi in the
year 1890 A. u.

not meet with any great success or
public sympathy. In that year wigs
went out of fashion, and the wigmak-

petitioned George III. to compel gen

wigmakers went in procession to st.
James to present their petition it was
noticed that most of those persons
who wanted to compel other people to
wear wigs wore no wigs themselves.

How a Dying Man Feels,


Numerous experiments made in hos
pitfalls and upon heroic scientists who
have permitted tests to be made upon
themselves right down to the moment
of death warrant these conclusions
That dying man may be burned with
redhot irons and yet not feel the least
pain; that consciousness may remain
in the dying almost to the moment of
actual dissolution, but that most peo-
pie generally lose the power of thought
long before death; that in cases of
death where there seems to be extreme
suffering, with writing and spasms,
such phenomena are generally due to
reflex muscular action; also that fear
weakens the muscular system and has
tens death. while the reverse may
prolong life.

NEW PUBLICATION
 A WORK OF ART
Considerable Space in it Is DeVoated to
 the Southside.

H A Davis Of Phoenix, the man. ager of the Arizona State Press. was here yesterday afternoon making his deliveries of the Roosevelt Salt River Valley book The publication is a most creditable one, filled with gen eral information regarding the valley and handsomely Illustrated. It carries many columns of interesting reading matter as well as a large quantity of advertising. both of which will be found Of much interest and information to the prospective home seeker and out of-the-territory resident
 In the publication, both of the south side towns, Tempe and Mesa, have been looked after nicely. There are numer- ous letters from residents of the south side telling Of the resources of the district and a considerable space of reading matter is devoted exclusively to each of the two towns A number of the local business men carry ads in the issue and Tempe will gain much advertising from the publication. Taken on the whole. the Salt River Valley book is a very excellent piece of work and one that will do much to create a good impression of the valley wherever 1t is read.

LIVING CRICKET.

The writer does not know if living cricket" is what the boys call it ar not, but this is the game she saw be- ing played by some lads on the pave ment one day. There was a ball. of course, for there is almost always q ball around where there are boys Boys can't even skate long without getting at hockey, with ball and stick, and as they grow up to be bigger and bigger and then at last are really big boys, there is always a ball that goes with their game-whether it is marbles, or baseballs. or tennis, or football, or presidential golf.
 But this game was kind of modifi- cation of the game of cricket. One lad bowled the ball over the pave ment toward another who tried to catch or stop it before it rolled or bounded through the arch made by his legs. A third lad behind was catcher and one fancies he scored when he caught the ball missed by the lad who was acting as batsman and wicket in one.

Save the Hair
Newbro's Herpicide Will Do It.

No Woman should have poor. thin, scraggy hair. and no man need become bald. Poor hair and final badness are due to dandruff germ.
 Newbro's Herpicide will destrop this little germ and stop the hair from falling Further evidence of this is found in a letter from Mrs. F. Neil sen. of Tomah, Wis She says: "I fought the worst kind of dandruff for nine years. I have been using Herpi- eide now one week. and my scalp is healthy, the dandruff has gone and the itching has stopped. It is the best remedy for scalp diseases I ever saw. and I have seen many"
 Don't subject yourself to disappoint- ment and expense by accepting some thing claimed to be just as good'' as Newbro's Herpicide. These off brands may possibly be good, but why take chances? The genuine and original dandruff germ destroyer can always be obtained. If your own druggist has nothing but just as good' artic- les, go to The Lovett Drug Co, who will furnish you with Newbro's Her picide and guarantees one dollar size bottles It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly.
 Send 1Oc in postage or silver for sample and booklet to The Herpicide Co, Dept. R., Detroit, Mich.
