for q moment when his victims back
should be turned, had entered and
struck. But how could he recon-
cile that hypothesis with this man who
lay weltering and at the point of death
at the veranda edge?
Indeed, he could not do so. But
this victim, at least, was not yet dead;
II he had strength to moan, he might
yet be revived, at least temporarily.
Without delay, then, the Irishman
grasped the man beneath the armpits,
and, lifting him bodily to the veranda,
dragged him into the library. Not I'M
til he placed him in the middle of the
floor, beneath the blare of the lamp
light, did O'Rourke have an oppor'
tunity to observe his features. But
now as he dropped to his knees beside
the body his wondering cry testified
to immediate recognition.
The latest name to be inscribed on
the long and blood-stained death-roll
of the Pool of Flame was that Of Paul
Maurice, Vicomte des Trebes; or. If
there were life enough left in the
man to enable him to insist upon his
nom de guerre (the wanderer reflected
grimly) Raoul de Hyeres.
What next?" wondered O'Rourke.
What can the meaning of it all be
now?"
With each development the mystery
was assuming more fantastic proper

trable and unsolvable. But he had no

he believed the man had planned this
thing far ahead; else would he have
surely taken some overt step to pre-
vent O'Rourke from delivering the
ruby to Sypher. He OWNED acutely
that, despairing of any further at
tempt to win the jewel from him. Des
Trebes had turned his wits to the task
of stealing it from Sypher; somebody
naturally much less to be feared than
the adventurer.
But on the other hand, If the girl
had not been Des Trebes' assistant
what had become of her? And what
of her guest-the lady one of whose
initials was B?

jumped as II shot. Somewhere in one
OF the other rooms telephone bell
was ringing. 1t ceased, leaving a
strident Stiffness; but before he could
move to find the instrument and an
swer the call, there rose second time
that moaning sob which first he had
attributed to an impossible source,
then, in the turmoil of his thoughts,
had forgotten.
He waited, listening intently. The
Telephone called again and again sub
sided. Then third time he heard the
groan, more faint than before, but suf-
aciently loud to suggest its source.
he moved warily toward the windows
and out upon the veranda-hounded
by the telephone. But that would
have to wait; here was more ur-
gent matter to his hand. Between the
long, insistent rings the moaning was
again audible; and this time he To-
Gated it accurately. 1t came from the
lawn, near the edge of the veranda.
He stepped off carefully. but almost
stumbled over the body of man who
lay there, huddled and moaning.

He was at once completely Mortified
and utterly dumbfounded. Nothing he
had come upon within the bungalow
seemed to indicate that there had been
anything in the nature of struggle
prior to the assassination of Sypher.
He had up to this moment considered
it nothing but cold-blooded and cow
ardly murder; the man had apparent
ly been struck down from behind in to-
tai ignorance of his danger. O'Rourke
had. deduced that Sypher had risen
from the desk to put the jewel in his
safe; and that while he was so en-

"The Strange Story of Elsie Mason''
 Bewidering Feature Film.

A picture that is decidedly out of the ordinary run of motion pictures is the feature at the Breed today, and is entitled ''The Strange Adventures of Elsie Mason" Little Elsie, scarcely two years old, awakes from her after noon nap, and strolling from the house resumes 1t in one of the flower beds near the railroad station. A wealthy lady, returning to her home in the west, finds the child, and not being able to overcome her desire to retain her, she secretes the little one, carry ing her to her home. Upon arriving in the west, the woman reads in the papers of the strange disappearance of Elsie. Her first impulse is to com municate with the parents, but she destroys the letter and preserves the news item. Twenty years later, Elsie is seen in the full bloom of her wo- manhood and in love with the woman's nephew. Right here the woman is talk en seriously ill, and as her secret preys upon her mind, she tells Elsie of her great secret, and just before her death shows her the old news item. Elsie feels her duty is with her real parents, and returns to them only to find the nephew following her by the next train, when he wins her hand in marriage

THE UNsPEAKABEE TURK.
Described at First churoh by Rev. H.
 s. 6arnum of ConstantinopIe.

Rev. H. s. Barnum of Constantinople spoke at the First Congregational church Sunday morning, his subject being Missions in Turkey. The Turk has ceased to reign in Europe, he said This has been achieved by terrible amount of suffering. When we ,remem Der the fearful atrocities committed by the Moslems, our prayer is to fall into the hands of God, not of man. The Turkish wars have been with Chris tian races, and hatred has been gen. erated because of the many provinces and island tha thave been wrested from them by Christian people.
 The Last Word of Islam was the subject of an article recently publish ed in Constantinople newspaper, which began with: We hate your re- ligion, we reject with contempt your civil institutions and science; We Mos lens believe in one God, you believe in three Gods" The Moslems reverence the prophets of the Old Testament and the Christ, and believe that the Christ will come again, but place above these the doctrines of Mahomet
 IIl> Turkey the Mohammedan almost signs his death warrant when he be- comes Christian. Through the native Christians, Armenians, Nestor1ans tell ing their Moslem neighbors and busi- ness partners of Christ through the leaven of a truer Christianity of beau ty and power shown in evangelical churches planted near the national ones, through schools, can the gospel be preached. The Moslems do not wish their children to become Chris tians, but wish them to come to the mission schools because of the higher moral tone and elevating influence ex- isting there. They come in large num- bers to the schools-to Roberts college Constantinople, to the International college.
 Hospitals in the interior towns have great power Ravages of cholera there are terrible because they have no doc tors but quacks, who have no lnowl- edge of medicine. In the hospitals are many Moslem patients. Through the press emphasizing beliefs we possess in common, doing good, letting then see the kindness in our hearts much |: accomplished.
 Dr. Barnum closed with an appeal tc churches at home that by their helr and sympathy, courage and jay may enter into the labors of those who are working to carry the knowledge oi Him, Whom not having seen, we love.
