once he was out of this web of his
own weaving, he would live straight;
he swore that every dollar hereafter
put in his pocket should be an honest
one. Fortune could never be his wife.
He came to this fact without any
roundabout or devious byways. In the
first place, he knew that he had not
touched her; she had only been friend
ly; and now even her friendship hung
by a thread. All right The love he
bore her was going to be his salvation
just the same; and at this moment
he was deadly in earnest.
It was after nine when they were
ferried across the two canals, the

CHAPTER XIV.
Mahomed offers Freedom.


Fortune had slept, but only after
hours of Watchful terror. The slight
est sound outside the tent sent a
scream into her throat, but she sue
ceeded each time in sitting it. Once
the evil laughter Of q hyena came over
her ears, shivering Alone! Size laid
her head upon the wadded saddle-bags
and wept silently, and every sob tore
at her heart. She must keep up the
farce of being brave when she knew
that she wasn't. The men must not
be discouraged. Her department
would characterize theirs; any sign
Of weakness upon her side would cor
respondingly depress them the more.
She prayed to God to give her the
strength to hold out. She was afraid
of Mahomed she was afraid of his
grim smile, afraid Of his hooking
eyes; she could not sponge out the
scene wherein he had so gratuitously
Kicked Horace in the side. Horace!
NO, she did not believe that she would
ever forgive him for this web which
he had spun and fallen into himself.
Two things she must hide for the
sake of them all: her fear of Mahom-
ed and her knowledge Of Ryanne's
trickery.
What part in this tragedy had the
Arab assigned her? Her fingers twined
and untwined, and she rocked and
rocked, bit her lips, lay down, sat up
and rocked again. But for the ex-
haustion, but for the insistent call OF
nature, she would never have closed
her eyes that night.
And her mother: What would her
mother believe, after the scene that
had taken place between them? What
could she believe, save that her daugh-
ter had fulfilled her threat, and run
away? And upon this not unreason-
able supposition her mother would
make no attempt to find out what had
become Of her. Perhaps she would
be glad, glad to be rid Of her and her
questions. Alone! Well, she had al
ways been alone.
The only ray Of sunshine in all was
the presence of Jones. She felt,
subtly, that he would not only stand
between her and Mahomed, but also
between her and Ryanne.
"Hush!" whispered George. Don't

"You don't understand" replied Ry-
anne miserably.

was heavy. This man was in love
with her, too.
Ryanne struck the tears from his
eyes and turned aside his head. He
was sick in soul and body. To have
walked blindly into trap like this,
of his own making, too! Fool! What
had possessed him, usually so keen,
to trust the copper-hided devil? All
for the sake of one glass OF wine!
With an effort entailing no meager
pain in his side, ne stilled the strang-
ling hiccoughs, swung round and tried
to smile reassuringly at the girl.
"You are better?" she asked.
There was in the tone Of that cues
ton an answer to all his dreams. One
nights work had given him his ticket
to the land of those weighed and
found wanting. She knew; how much
he did not care; enough to read his
guilt.
1t appeared to George that she was
accepting the situation with philos-
ophy deeper than either his or Ry-
anne's. Not whimper, not a plant.
not protest so far had she made.
She was a Roland in petticoats.

No young woman, IN the joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi-
cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all It's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the Crisis

sions, demanded that Taft should not be turned down by his party, as he had earned the right to run again.
 That part of his address which had no political coloriug was very lofty in sentiment and breathed the atmos- phere of Americanism. He told number of capital stories and was truly eloquent in the periods where he dealt with the work of the fathers in giving to posterity the Declaration Of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
 Evidently the major portion of his audience agreed with him that Taft was preferable to Roosevelt, for very little enthusiasm greeted the mention of Teddy's name, while hearty cheers rang throughout the banquet hall when Taft was mentioned.
 MT. Chandler said however that neither Taft nor Roosevelt might be chosen even though either of them should be nominated. He said the Democrats were coming strong and they might put in the White House the successor to Taft In any event cans was to forget their political diff ferenceS the day after election and remember they were neither Repub- licans nor Democrats but Just plain patriotic Americans.
 While in no sense detracting from the greatness of America and An4eri- cans he said we should not lose sight of the fact that other peoples in oth- CT countries naQ IuGlT OWl OplI44Ou CA us and he had learned from his talks and travels in foreign lands that this judgment is radically different than the one we love to hold of ourselves.
 Lest we forget he remainded his listeners that it would do all of us much good to view ourselves by in trospection as it were. Then he told a delightful story of one of his ex- periences while. completing his studies abroad. reciting with fine dramatic effect a dialogue that took place be tween one of his German professors and himself and which in the end served to open his eyes to the fact that we are not quite all we think we are at least we are not in the eyes Of the leading men of the old world.
 The speaker showed his erudition by his masterly analysis of the decad- ence of the republics of the early ages and the reasons therefore, draw ing from the history of their down fall valuable lessons which the build~ . CTS of our Republic with their almost providentiaI wisdom fOresaw. The consensus of opinion was that MT. ChandIer's address was one of the best the guests had ever heard and when he concluded he was cheered to the echo. The singing section that kept the merriment moving through out followed as soon as he conclud- ed his talk with ''He was Bred in Old Kentucky to the delight Of the speak CT and the guests.

New Haven. Feb. 17-Governor Simeon E. Baldwin was the principal speaker before the annual banquet of the Mothers Club of New Haven last evening, and he paid high tribute to the women Of this state. He said:

 Not many men distinguish them selves among their fellows, who have not had distinguished mothers. And I use distinguished in it's true sense; not as characterizing some person who has risen to high position in politics, or art or $Uciety: but one who, as compared witI2 women, generally, has more strong and marked qualities Of mental or moral excellence.
