as he rose.
From the canyon below dull noise
of galloping hoofs advertised too plain
ly the failure of their attempt.
And Hopi Jim turned back only to
find Judith mounted, refining her horse
in between him and Marrophat, and
prepared to give emphasis to what she
had to say with an automatic pistol
that nestled snugly in her palm.
"One moment, Mr.. Slade," she sug-
gested evenly. Just moment before
you break the sad news to Mr.. Mario
PLAT. I've something to say that needs
your ttention-likewise, your respect.
1t is this: l am parting company with
you and Mr. Marrophat. l am riding

either of you care to follow me"-the
automatic flashed ominously in the
sun glare-''it will be with full knowl-
edge of the consequences. Mr.. Mario
phat will enlighten you if you have
any doubt of my ability to take care OF
myself in such affairs as this. If you
are well advised, you will turn back
and report failure to my father"
She nodded curtly and swung her
horse round.
And what shall tell your father
from your" Marrophat demanded
sharply.
What you please" the girl replied,
flashing an impish smile over-shoulder.
But since when l part company with
you, part with him as well-for all of
me, you may tell him to go to the
DEVIL"
WELL" Mr.. Marrophat admitted con-
fldentially to Mr.. Slade. I'm damned!"
And that amt all" Mr.. Slade con-
fided in Mr.. Marrophat, whipping out

and when you get back to old man
Urine you can just tell him, with my
best compliments, that I've quit the
job and lit out after that daughter OF
his'n. She's heap sight more attrac-
tive than nineteen thousand dollars,
and not half so hard to earn!"
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1914-12-18

'TTl pay you ten thousand dollars
for the life Of the man I win name"
The eyes Of the bandit narrowed,
Hold on, my friend: is that what you
call my naming my own price?"
Name 1t, then" said Urine.
Give me thousand on account" said
the other, "and a paper saying you'll
pay me nineteen thousand more In ex'
change for 1t and one dead man, prop
erly identified as the one you want

good as dead this minute. providing

Urine waved his hand at his secre-
tary. Jimmy, find a thousand dollars

hour and half" Hopi Jim replied, "a

stopped and asst where they could get

them on to Mesa, down in the Painted
hills yonder."

momentarily with the pallor OF a
ghosts against the background of that
obscurity, and then was gone.
Her eyes alone, indeed, could have
recognized the features of Alan Law
IN that fugitive glimpse.
Two sentences exchanged between
Hopi Jim and a blear-eyed fellow
whom he reused from sodden slumbers
behind the bar sealed their confidence
with conviction: the three fugitives
were in fact guests of the house, oe'
cupying two of the three rooms that
composed it's upper story.
In the rush that followed up the
narrow stairway, Judith led with such
spirit that not even Marrophat sus'
pected her revolver was poised solely
with intent to shoot from his hand his
own revolver the instant he leveled
it at human target.
Closed and locked doors confronted
them; and their summons educed no
response; while the first door, when
broken In by a whole-souled kick, dis
covered nothing more satisfactory
than an empty room. its bed bearing
the imprint of a woman's body, but
that woman gone.
From the one window, looking down
the side of the house, Texas announced
that the woman had not escaped by
jumping out.
So it seemed that the three must
have had warning of their arrival,
after all; and presumably we're now
herded together in the adjoining room,
which looked out over the veranda
roof, waiting in fear and trembling
for the assault that must soon come
and in fact Immediately did.
But 1t met with more stubborn re-
sistance than had been anticipated.
The door had been barricaded from
within - REINFORCED by furniture
placed against it. Four minutes and
the united efforts of four men (includ-
ing the bleary loafer of the barroom)
were required to overcome its inert re-
sistance. But even when it was down,
the room was found to be as empty as
the first.
Only the fingers of two hands grip
ping the edge of the veranda roof
showed the way the fugitiyes had
flown; and these vanished instantly as
the room was invaded.
Followed a swift rush of hoofs down
the dusty street, and chorus of BIAS
phemy in the hotel hallway: for Ju-
dith had headed the concerted rush
for the staircase and contrived to
block it for full half minute by pre-
tending to stumble and twist her
ankle.
In spite of that alleged injury, she
never limped, and wasn't yard be-

hind the first who broke from the
hotel to the open, nor yet appreciably
behind him in vaulting to saddle.
Well up the road a cloud of smoky
dust half obscured the shapes of three
who rode for their very lives
The pursuit was off in twinkling
and we'll bunched-Marrophat's mount
leading by nose, Judith second, Hopi
Jim and Texas but little in the rear.
And in the first rush they seemed to
gain; moment by moment they drew
up on the flying cloud Of dust.
Judith heard an oath muttered be-
side her and saw Marrophat jerking a
revolver from it's holster. The weapon
swept up and to level; but as the
hammer fell, Judith's horse caromed
heavily against the other, swinging it
half a dozen feet aside, and DETECTING
the bullet hopelessly.
The shock of collision was so great
that Marrophat kept his seat with diff
ficulty. He turned toward Judith a
face livid with rage.
simultaneously, as If taking the shot
as the signal for a fusillade, Judith
saw Alan lean back over his horses
rump and open fire.
An instant later his companion, Bar
Gus, initiated his example.
In immediate consequence, Texas
dropped reins, slumped forward over
the pommel, wabbled weakly in his
saddle for moment, then losing the
stirrups, pitched headlong to the
ground; while Hopi Jim's horse
stopped short, precipitating his rider
overhead, and dropped dead.

SYNOPSIS.

The trey of hearts IS the "death-sign"
employed by Seneca Urine in the pri-
vate war Of vengeance which, through the
agency of his daughter, Judith, woman
OF violent passions like his own, he wages
against Alan Law. son OF the man, now
dead, who was innocently responsible for
the accident which rendered Urine help
less cripple. Alan loves Rose, Judith s
twin and double but in all other respects
her precise opposite. Judith promises her
father to compass Alan's death, but I'M
der dramatic circumstances he saves her
LIE, and so, unwillingly, wins her love.
Thereafter Judith is by turns animated by
the old hatred, the new love and Jealousy
of Rose.

MAIN ARMIES MEET NEAR WATERL LOO

from Brussels dated Tuesday, says:
 Since Sunday there has been no movement by the German troops on our lines. The Balgians having vic toriously repulsed the German attack on their central position, the enemy have pushed forward their troops in q corner between the Belgian and French forces, their aim being to cause the Belgians to fall back on Antwerp.
 These tactics, however, are danger ous, for the yexpose the Germans if they fail in their object, to a flank attack. Their effort was a failure as the have not renewed this attack on the Belgian center
 Ut is extremely probable that it was intended to cover their principal object, namely, an advance of the main German corps, which are ad. vancing along the banks of the Mouse toward the south of Brussels, and that an attack on the centraI Belgian posi- tions was but the shadow of a real in- yasiOn of the cOnntry."

England Remains Calm.

London, Aug. 1S-9:30 p.m.-Lon- don displayed little excitement when it became known British troops were in France. There were no crowds around the bulletins and no rush for newspapers. There was a stoid, re. pressed, earnest crowd where recruits drill and at the barracks, where trained soldiers go through evolu- tions.
 The general routine is little dis turbed except for the unceasing movement of troops, ammunition trains and hospital corps.
 Attendance at music halls and the atres shows no decrease and Ameri- cans spend afternoons or evenings at the play houses. "Brttania Rules the Waves" the "Marseillais" and the Russian national anthem are play ed by orchestras, the audiences stand ing.

 Private homes have been converted into hospitals and newspaper depart ments under the head of What wo- men can do" or some similar caption, are the busiest.
 Signs are posted that Earl Kitcl- ener, secretary for war. needs 100 900 mel for three years or to the close of the war.
 There has been some protest against German and Austrian waters at the hotes and restaurants. One newspaper protests against excessive forbearance as instanced by crowd at the railway station on the de- parture of the Austrian ambassador singing Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles."
 Tle stock exchange is closed and the city is quiet Clerks are carrying rifles and cartridge belts. Business houses announce that places will be kept for those who enlist.
 The newspapers are proud of the effective manner in which they kept secret the movement of troops of which much has been surmised but little known.
 The seaside resorts face q ruined season and the hotels dread the re. turn of Americans. for they would not be able to accommodate them, Food prices are lower. with the exception of sugar, which comes from Austria and Germany.
 Cargoes of grain in German vesse's captured in the Baltic were sold to- day and brought current prices but the effect was a fall in prices and es- pecially in maize.
