CHAPTER XXI.
When the Doors Parted.

What immediately followed must have occupied a second or two at most. Yet it seemed to me that for less. staring al the leveled weapon and at the rude black mask behind it.; For my brain was superactive and my thoughts were racing.
 Instantly comprehended all that had happened. and the situation, cl'- making fin our peril. was as clear 10 me as though I had witnessed the whole chain of events from inception eo final execution. The assassination of Ling Fo was to be succeeded by the abduction. perhaps the murder, of Eve lyn and myself Already while we were conversing with Miss Clement our driver had been spirited from the box and one of the enemy mounted in his place. In the rush of my review I recalled that in hurrying Evelyn into the brougham, anxious to be started and away, had not cast even so much ss glance towards the man in front. At first. in our absorption. and later behind lowered silken shades, We had made no effort to trace our course Hence our present location was mad dening,y unguessable. We might be far on the East side or far on the West. or we might merely have circled back to within a block or less of the Mission from which we started.
 All this, I say, flashed through my brain with inconceiyabie swiftness as sat rigid, with eyes on the revolver barrel and the masked face of the shadowy, sinister creature that held 1t. All this, and more. For in that brief space I considered one possible course of action after another. groping des- perately for plan Of rescue and es- cape
 In that passing second or two there had been no sound-no word from him al the door; no whisper even from her ct my side, who, like myself, sat dumb and inert, stricken to stone by the sud denness of the attack But for a sec ond or two only this silence and in- ertfa lasted
 That which ensued was coinctdent As though the step had been prear- ranged. the three actors moved in con. cert. The hand which held the woap- on advanced dozen inches or more. 5yrchronously my foot. lifted with all the accuracy and power Of my under graduate football days, met the intrud. inS revolver and sent it spinning

CHAPTER XXI.
The Scuttled Shin.

Checkabeedy met us in the hall-an unusually agitated Checkabeedy, with his fulljowled, rubicund face ruddy beyond the common, and his tiny gray eyes twinkling like twin star sapphires
 Our adventure, thrilling as it had been. was subjugated. if not indeed for the moment forgotten, in the pres ence of this unwonted suscitation For the buffers aplomb was sort of fam fly fixture which nothing short of the most extraordinary happening could either unsettle or upheave. To find him in such case, therefore, argued either cognizance Of exceptional de velopments or possession of mon strously important tidings; and at sight of him We both paused in mute expectancy.
 There is a person, sir" he began. making vain effort to control his voice to dispassion. "a foreign person-what Is called Chinee. l think, sir-in the reception room. If understand him, sir, he Is a consul or something like that. And he has brought with him a tall, thin, elderly man, as yellow as himself, sir l was In doubt about al lowing them to wait, but they told me they must see you, sir tonight with out fail; that 1t was matter 10 your interest. sir. They have been here over an hour, now, and have never taken my eye of the reoeptlon-room door Seeing as how those mysteri- ous things happened at Cragholt. sir. I was fearful lest something more of the same sort might be contemplated And poor MT. Cameron lying up there with that nurse, Bryan. who, between you and me, sir, don't trust. nohow. |"
 Evelyn was scarcely to be blamed for a trepidation equaling, if not sur passing, Checkabeedy's
 Don't see them, Philip, she urged with nervous yehemence. Please don't see them, It is some trick. I feel 1t Is. Checkabeedy will get them out of the house at once. Won't you, Checkabeedy ?"
 But was in far different mood Of late matters had been shaping them selves, apparently. towards climax In a quiet way, avoiding the spectacu- larly aggressive, and aided not little by chance, we had drawn nearer and nearer to the veil which hid the truth If there had come to me now the op- portunity for another step. 1t must not be disregarded. My whole inclination was to welcome it. Therefore l smiled. reassuringly, at Evelyn, as l said:
 Really, my dear girl, you are un- necessarily alarmed. There is not cannot be, In fact-the slightest pos sibility of danger. On the contrary tbelc visit, whoever they may be, is in all likelihood pacific. But if 1t would make you any less uneasy, MT. Checka- beedy shall wait near the open door.

CHAMPION WING SHOT DEAD
Won More Money Over Traps Than
Any Other Professional.

Hamonton, N. j., June 11.-Captain
John s. Brewer. at one time cham.
pion wing shot OF the world. was found
dead In his humble lodging in this
place. 1t is not known what caused
his death. The whining of one of his
hunting dogs led to the discovery of
the body.
Brewer was about sixty years old.
He lived alone, but is said to have
had a family living near Richmond,
Va. During his long career as a pro-
fessional pigeon shooter he probably
won more money at the traps than
any living man. He took a trip to
Europe and beat the best shots on
the Continent.

A TONIC LAXATIVE
Pe-ru-na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

good tonic laxative the great majority
of cases of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is a remedy that should be
kept in h house. Its virtue as a
preventive to disease is the thing l
wish chiefly to emphasize.
"A slight condition of constipation
may lead to serious sluggishness of
the bowels, biliousness, re-absorption
or poisonous material and finally
sickness. Or apathy of the stomach
In which the food is not relished, may
gradually lead TO atomic dyspepsia or
to the acquisition of some acute dis
ease. For either one of these condi-
lions a few doses of the tonic laxative
Peruna would set matters right. This
is why the remedy should always be
kept handy by.
When once the value Of Peruna as a
household remedy is understood MO
home would be without it. Cathartics,
pills and powders would be discarded.
Irritating tonics would be no longer
taken. Alcoholic drinks would have no
place. With a few doses of Peruna a
vigorous appetite is produced and il
there be any sluggishness Of the
bowels their function is gradually re-
stored.
Most laxatives are weakening in
their effect. A tonic laxative guards
against this weakening effect. Until
right living has become so thoroughly
established that all medicines are su-
perfiuous, Peruna will be needed. 1t is
exactly the remedy that meets numer-
Gus necessities of the household. Sold
at all drug stores.

Plymouth, Mass, writes: 81 think Pc
