At five in the morning a heavy mo-
tor car of the most advanced type
stole in sinister silence out of he
courtyard of the Hotel d'Orient, at the
same sedate pace and with the same
surreptitious air skulked through the
town, and finally swung eastwards
upon the Route de la Corniche. sud

fty and swooping onward with a windy
roar, its powerful motor purring like
some gigantic tiger-cat.

Aless and hideous garments; in the
tonneau its owner, a m%iddle-aged
French manufacturer with pouched
eyes, a liver, lank jaws clean-scraped,
and an expression of high-minded de-
votion to duty; Captain Won Einem in
uniform; and Colonel O'Rourke.
At the end of an hours run, dis
turbed by M or two absurdly grave
conferences between the seconds, in
appropriate monotones. the mechani-
clan put on the brakes and slowed
down the car, then deftly swung it
into a narrow lane, a leafy tunnel
through which it crawled for a min

broad and sunlit meadow, walled in by

REMEDIES FOR
RHEUMATISM
Are Many but the Important Thing
Is to Enrich the Blood and
Cleanse the System of
Rheumatic Poison.

There are many remedies for rheu-
matism. Most Of them are considered
successful II they relieve the pain and
stiffness. That means q temporary
suppression of the symptoms while the
disease remains In the blood to appear

years ago I was q sufferer from rheuma-

Joints OF my fingers became affected.
They were swollen and were 30 painful
that I could hardly bear it. Gradually
the disease began to affect my limbs in
the same manner. They became ter
ribly swollen and I had to give up my
work. The pains then spread af over
my body and were sharp and shooting.
They would suddenly shift from one
part Of the body to another but fortu-
nately did not seem to affect my heart.
For three months I was propped up In

could not get any sleep and waa losing

A sudden gust of anger swept
O'Rourke off his f%igurative feet. He

That the man will never consent
to weapons worthy the name. He
values his precious hide too highly,
and he's not going to put himself in
the way of being injured when he has
the Pool of Flame to steal. Be easy
on that score, darling-and have faith
In me a little. I'll not let him harm

"Ah, but how can tell? i.
Dearest, my dearest. why not give it

US apart? Am I not worth a little

Dear heart of me, give me this last

With an eldritch shrek and a
mighty rushing wind the storm broke
over the mainland and a roaring ain
came down.
lmpulsively the Irishman turned off
the lights, and, lifting his wife in his
arms bore her to an armchair by the
window.
The storm waned in fury, passed,
died in dull distant mutterings. Still
she rested in his embrace, her flushed
face, wet with tears, pillowed to his
cheek, her mouth seeking his.
Vague murmurings sounded in the
stiffness, signs. /.

with an ~tnterrogative eye that served
to deepen his embarrassment and con.
sternation. Il trust I didn't hurt We,
Mr.. Glynn."
"Oh. no-not at ALL" stammered the
Englishman. Not in the least. No"
He looked right and left Of
O'Rourke for a way round him, found
himself with no choice but to retreat,
and lost his presence of mind com.
pletely. IL say" he continued des-
perately, Il say, have you a match!"
Possibly" conceded O'Rourke.
But I've yet to meet him. OF this
ye may feel sure. however,: If l have,
tbs neither yourself nor Des Trebes.
Now run along and figure it out for
yourself-what I'm meaning. Good
night
He brushed past the man. leaving
him astare in sudden pallor, and went
his way. more than a little disguised
with himself for his lack of discre-
ton. AS matters turned out, however.
he had little to reproach himself with;
for his outbreak served to keep young
Glynn at a respectful distance
throughout the remainder of the voy-
age. They met but once more, and
on that occasion the Englishman be-
haved himself admirably according to
the tenets of his caste--met O'Rourke's
challenging gaze without a flicker of
recognition, looked him up and down
calmly with the deadly ennuied air
peculiar to the underdone British
youth of family and social position,
and wandered calmly away.
ORourke watched him out of sight,
a smile of appreciation curving his
lips and tempering the perturbed and
dangerous light in his eyes. There's
stuff in the lad. after ALL" he CON
coded without a grudge, eff he can
carry a situation off like that. I'm
doubling not at all that something
might be whipped out of him, If he
weren't what he's made himself-a
slave to whisky"
For all of which appreciation. how.
ever, he soon wearied Of Mr.. Glynn.
During the first day ashore it was not
so bad; there vas something amusing
in being so openly logged by a well,
set-up young Englishman who had
quite ceased to disguise his interest.
But after that his sbadowy surveillance
proved somewhat ~distracting to a man
busy with important affairs. And to.
ward evening of the second day
O'Rourke lost patience.
All day long in the sun, without
respite he had knocked about from pill,
lar to post Of Algiers. seeking news of
Chambret; and not until the eleventh
hour had he secured the Information
he needed. Then, h%urrying back to
his hotel. he made arrangements to
have his luggage cared for during an
absence Of indeterminate duration,
hastily crammed a few i~ndispensables
into a kit box, and having dispatched
that to the railway terminal. sought
the restaurant for an early meal.
In the act of consuming his soup he
became aware that the Honorable
Bertie, in a dinner coat and a state OF
fidgets, had wandered down the outer
corridor, passed at the restaurant dool
and espied his quarry. The fact that
OIRourke was dining with one eye
on the clock and in a dust-proof, dust
colored suit of drill. was enough to
disturb seriously the poise of the Eng.
liShman.
Evaporation stirred in O'Rourke.
He eyed the young man rather morose

to seem i%nsouciant, met the level
stare OF the adventurer and noticed
the tense lines of his lips.
IL say" he f%loundered, whats
the matter with you. anyway! Can't
you leave me a-lone?"
I've been thinking" said O'Rourke
crisply. disregarding the others re-
mark entirely. that it might be of in
terest to We to save We a bit of bother
alton to know that I'm going up to
Biskra by tonight's train. 1t leaves in
ten minutes. SO I'll have to forego the
pleasure of your society on the trip"
Glynn got a grip on himself and
pulled together the elements of his
manhood. He managed to infuse blank
insolence into his stare. and said
"Ow?' with that singularly maddening
infection of which the Englishman
alone is master; as who should say:
Why the dooce d'you annoy me with
your bally plans?"

he drawled.

81 believe that" O'Rourke chuckled
grimly.
The meaning In his tone sent the
blood into the young mans face, a
fiery flood of resentment.
"Oh. I'm not afraid of you, y'know,"
he said, bristling. "Of course you're
not going to Biskra, or you wouldn't
tell me so. But if you do, l shall make
1t my business to find out and follow
by the next train-bringing Des
Trebes with me-"
"Oh. will We so? Ye mean to warn
me he's In Algeria, too?"

him at any moment, If you wish to
know" ORourke's smiling contempt
was angering the young man and rem.
derlng him reckless. You'll be glad
to know you've made a DEM ass of
~yourself--if you really are going to
Biskra."

B. F. weber was up from Yocemen-

which he left at his farm near Voda
VIXEN he moved away about a year
ago. He says his crop of wheat looks
fine, while in town he paid the world
friendly visit and showed us a new
invention which he will soon put on
the market. 1t is a fork for unload
ing any kind of forage crops and
pitch fork. 1t is big improvement
over the old grab fork, and it is our
opinion Mr.. weber will make for
tune out of his new invention because
it is simple and cheap.
The Chicago convention is over and
with it another page of history is
made and the sound principles of the
greatest party on earth have been
kept from the invasion of a man who
is politically insane, man whose love
of power and popularity has made a
political vandal of him, but thanks to
the level headed men who stood be-
hind the president of the United
States, this country was saved from
one of the most dangerous men of
this age. He is beaten and down and
out but continues to beat the air and
gnash his teeth and cry fraud while
backed by the most notorious gang of
thieves and thugs in the United
States. He would be vastly more
admired if he would take his medicine
like a man. President Taft has made
good and will make good and this
country will be prosperous and happy
despite the fact that Theodore RoOse-
Welt does not sit at the helm of the
Old Ship of State. Thank God we
are so well rid of him.

the completion of the building
by the first of December.
This fine new building is to be
thoroughly up to date and strict
ly modern in all of its appoint
ments. The material for the
building will be brick trimmed
with stone, thus making it very
comfortable during all seasons
of the year as well as very sub
