Not Necessary to Leave Home.

In an effort to stop the migration of
dying consumptives to the Southwest,
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis will
ask physicians TO be more careful in
ordering patients to go away, and will
also ask railroads to discontinue their
practice of selling charity" tickets
to those who cannot afford to pay full
fare. mo consumptive should go to
Colorado, California, or the West for
his health" says the association, Gun
less he has good chance for recov-
cry from his disease, and unless espe-
cially he has at least $1,000 to spend
for this purpose. over and above what
his family may need.
Tuberculosis can be cured in any
part of the United States, and it is
not necessary for a tuberculosis pa
tient to go West. Whenever possible.
the National Association urges tuber-
culosis patients who have not ample
funds to go to a sanatorium near
home, and If they cannot do this, to
take the cure in their own homes, ukl,

OF remaining in their hands a moment

silence, their mysterious movements,

oner of war, but rather as being held
for some private purpose yet to be re-

promise. 1t was nearly square, the
walls Of stone solidly imbedded In

glance about convinced me of the hope
lessness of any attempt at breaking
out.
l was not there to exceed ten min

clicked, and Peter came in. l sat up
quickly, but as instantly he had closed
the door, and actually stood there
grinning cheerfully. | would never

Bareheaded, his bald dome Of thought
shining in the candle-light, his round,
solemn face, with big innocent gray
eyes gazing at me, an apron about his
fat waist, the fellow presented an al
most ludicrous appearance. Somehow
my heart warmed to him, especially as
L perceived the tray, heavily laden
which he bore easily on one arm, and
the towel flung over his shoulder. And
as l stared at him his movements be-
came professional. Silently, solemnly,
his mind strictly upon his duties, he
wiped off the table top, and arranged
the various dishes thereon with the
greatest care, polishing cups and
glasses, and finally placing one of the
chairs in position. Stepping back, nap.

CHAPTER XII.
Introducinu Peter.


1t was new country to me that we
thickly settled, although the road ap-
peared to be a well-beaten track. The
gloom, coupled with the rapidity of
our movements, prevented me from
seeing anything other than those dim
objects close at hand, yet we were
evidently travelling almost straight
east. | endeavored to enter into con-
versation with the two fellows riding
Oh either side of me, but neither one
so much as turned his head in re-
Spouse to my voice, and / soon tired
of the attempt. The night told me
they were both in the uniform of the
Queens Rangers, the one called Peter
on my right round, squat figure, and
bald-headed, his bare scalp shining
oddly when once he removed his
cooked hat; the other was an older
man, with gray chin. beard, and gilt
tering display of teeth.
The movements of my horse caused
the ropes to lacerate my wrists and
ankles, the pain increasing so that
once or twice | cried out. The fell
lows guarding me did not even turn
their heads, but the lieutenant drew
up his horse so as to block us.
What is the trouble? Are you
hurt?"
These ropes are tearing into the
flesh," l groaned. I'D be just as safe
If they were loosened a bit"
saw him lean forward, shading his
face with one hand, as he stared
toward me through the darkness. l
thought he drew quick breath as
from surprise, and there was a mo-
ment's hesitancy.
Let out the ropes trifie. Peter"
came the final order.
The little bald-headed man went at
it without a word, the lieutenant rein
ing back his horse slightly, and draw
ing his hat lower over his eyes. In
the silence one of the horses neighed,
| and the hoy seemed to straighten in
his saddle, glancing suspiciously about.
Ride ahead slowly. Tonepah," he

turned back toward me. Who are
you, anyway"
Surprised at the unexpected ques,
ton, my first thought was to conceal
my identity. These were Kings men,
and l was in ordinary clothes-the
rough homespun furnished by Farrell.
If, by any chance, was not the party
they had expected to waylay, might
be released without search.

mean you have gone to all this trouble

the other uplifting the butt of a pis-
toll over my head. There was not a
word spoken, but 1 could see they
were in uniform, although the fellow
kneeling on me had the features and
long hair of an Indian. My horse
started to bolt, but his rein was
gripped, and then third figure,
mounted, rode into the range Of my
vision.

There was no mistaking my captors
the young dragoon lieutenant, and
the three who had escaped with him.
But why had they ridden in this di-
rection? What object could they have
in thus attacking me? They afforded
me little opportunity for solving these
problems. Had | been a bale of to-
bacco l could not have been treated
with less ceremony, the white man un-
clasping my belt, while the Indian,
with a grunt, flung me over on my
face, and began binding hands and
feet. I kicked him once, sending him
tumbling backward, but he only came
back silently, with more cruel twist
Of the rope, while the boy laughed,
bending over his horses neck.

he said shortly, refining back out of
the way. "Delavan's horse, isn't it?
Yes, tie his feet underneath, and one
of you keep a hand on the reins. Peter,
you and Cass ride with him. l want
Tonepah with me. All ready? Well
take the east road"
Some one struck the horse, and he
plunged forward, swerving sharply to
the right in response to the strong
hand on his bit. | swayed in the sad
die, but the bonds held, and we went
