 With a sudden rush Dewald sprang to an electric button and the lights were extinguished. Then seizing Nevski by the hand he hurried to- ward the exit. As he did so, the American tore the bells from the neck of the Russian and hurled them in the direction of the tigress. AS the necklace struck the floor, several shots were fired in rapid succession by an accomplice properly stationed outside to see that their execution was accomplished There was piercing scream as the bullets intended for them reached the heart of the one who had planned their death. Then all was silent; the tigress was no more

and Dewald listened to-the shots With in. The panel was again opened and he was thrust inside. AS the lights were turned on it was his turn to smile. With some satisfaction he took the revolver from the Russian as 1t was handed him.
 Then a feeling of revulsion came over him. The woman expected him to murder his rival. Having been false toward one who adored her, she would doubtless be false to him. He cast a glance at the pale, determined face before him. He pitied the Rus sian and realized that they were both fools
 The lights again went out, and he heard the tinkle of the bells-now here-now there. Then he pointed his revolver toward the ceiling and emptied the chambers. Again the lights were on and they faced each other. Apparently the outcome was surprise to Catherine Gonrko. There had been no groans-no outcry She entered the room.

It only proves her interest Finally I circled around and reached a stile ahead of the rest. I planned to be there when Mabel arrived and help her over before Rollson could climb the fence and do 1t himself. It worked beautifully. only as I bobbed up smiling and lifting my hat I ran plump into hornets nest in a .sassafras bush back of me-and l don't know who helped Mabel over that stile.
 Every one seemed to think 1t my fault that Mabel was stung by several of the little beasts, too.
 T made up my mind that I would have to write my proposal and send it to her. But just before I left her for home I accidently overheard Mabel and her father talking.
 "Good gracious!' Mabel told him. Don't blame me If he has kept out of all your bridge games! told you he could play bridge when you wanted some one to fill out your table, but I didn't guarantee to chain him into a thair! Haven't I endured enough in my constant maneuvers to escape his attempts to propose to me? I've been nearly drowned and poisoned by hornets and my foot was smashed trying to get away from him-and MT.

SOUND OF THE BELLS
By H. H. HUDSON.

He first saw her at St. Petersburg. The American who sought knowledge and diversion in travel forgot his mis- sion. Catherine Gourko was hand some; her large, expressive brown eyes held in their depths charm and fascination which few could resist. Sometimes these eyes dreamed; usu- again, they might be said, GOT even blaze with anger. The abundant jet black hair contrasted we'll with the white neck the pale temples and glowing cheeks. There was also the perfectly molded figure, endowed with subtle strength of an animal.
 Dewald became monomaniac, his world now centered about this wom- an. AS before, he passed along the avenues lined with palaces and plant ed with trees, but he saw only her face. He even found himself shadow ing her through villas and gardens. He joined the social clubs to which she belonged, and they at last met. A fighting chance had now been won, but he found lion in his path, Nich- olas Nevski stood closer than he De- wald planned to call at the same hour, and this affront was enough. It was now the survival of the fttest- one must die.
 Catherine Gourko smiled upon each; she even aided them by suggestion, and planned the determining ordeal. Dewald was at the place selected at the appointed hour. The dice were thrown, chance favoring the Russian. They next passed to the chamber of death.
 This chamber was spacious and de void of effects, it's walls being so ar ranged as to deaden sound. The room was also lined with sheet metal
 The Russian was handed revolver and took his place in the center of the room. Having won at dice, his face now wore the expression of triumph. A necklace of tiny bells was hung about the Americans neck, and he 'retreated to the farthest end of the room. The place would be immediate ,ly darkened, and the shots of the Rus sian would follow the sound of the bells. If Dewald escaped the tables would be turned. As the lights went out and Dewald listened for the signal to fire his body crouched low and the bells about his neck silent, he heard a whisper and felt the wall move back of him. He was led through an

BRISTOW PRAISES BRYAN

During the discussion on parcel
post rates in the Senate the other
day, Senator Bristow Of Kansas made
the following remarks about Senator
Bryan of Florida, which said re-
marks should be noted by those who
accuse our junior senator of work
ing against the interests of the peo-
pie.
1T has been my great pleasure to
serve on a number of committees
with the senator from Florida, and l
have never in my experience in pub
lie life found man more devoted to
the public interests and freer from
the control Of any sinister influence.
The fact that he saw fit to introduce
a resolution that would take from an
executive officer the power to change
existing laws does not justify any
allegation that he is endeavoring to
serve some special interest. The fact
that he opposed the changing of the
rates on parcel-post matter until the
committee of which he is a member
should have completed an investiga-
ton, which it was charged by Con-
gress to make, is certainly to his
credit"
