1t came suddenly, as all great

were down, her face calm, her whole
figure quiet in its statue-like repose:
the next her big violet eyes had flash
ed open upon the world, and lips and
limbs were moving feebly but GER

anxious, troubled expression-not just

who believed that with returning con-
seriousness would come returning men,

taken place between herself and her

ment that the money cost Of establish

round numbers, s140.0OO.O0O. Accord

pearing quickly, as a posse of police
men, who had responded to a riot call,
came round the corner.
In a moment the wounded man was
lifted tenderly into an ambulance and
hurried away to the hospital. Eva, dis
heYelled and fearful, was filed with
dreadful misgivings concerning his
welfare, and wanted to follow him and
ascertain for herself his condition, but
the brave who had come to her
rescue opposed this, ana succeeded in
prevailing upon the anxious girl to
wait until a conveyance could be had.
When the carriage came Eva gave
instructions to the driver to call at the
hospital and wait until the result Of
Jacks injuries could be learned.
She experienced a feeling Of intense
relief and happiness when told that he
had received but a slight wound.
He was only knocked senseless," cE-
planned the hospital surgeon, noting the
look of anxiety on the girls face. Then
he added reassuringly, He's come
around all right, n as soon as they
get the cut on his head fixed up he'll
be able to go home"

she cave her name, so when he was
told of her call he could only surmise
that IL was she, but was not a little

That evening a note was handed to
the young man, who sprang to his feet
with a fierce look in his eyes, and an
exclamation that would have shocked

he learned that his sweetheart, the girl
who was soon to be his wife, was the
victim of that cowardly assault, and
to whose rescue he a FASTENED.
He strobe up and Town the room
with clenched fist, vOwing dire venge-
ance upon the mob and particularly
against the brute whom he had seen
push the girl back into the very face
of an awful crowd.
Then, regardless of the strips of
court plaster upon his forehead, he
seized his hat and rushed away TO Eva's
home.
1t was a very fearful and %penitent
