Once home she ran upstairs for her
automatic. When she came down
again the stranger had vanished.

clared.
"Then he took to his heels the mo-

her shoulder to AIMED Hassam Ali sent
"A terrible glance, and AIMED knew that
death awaited him If he opened his
lips. He was still breathing heavily

Zudora left the house more deeply

Two hours later she had cleared up
the mystery OF the sleeping house and
rescued Storm from his dreadful
prison.

stared her in the eyes, but she spOke
bravely. In return for the liberation
Of her lover she declared that with the
aid of one man she would bring tho
princess down to them. The young
prince struck his forehead in rage. He
had never thought OF such thing.
His one aim had been to force NahOk
Shan from the house and then to seize
his betrOthed
When the princess awoke the next
time she found her true lover gazing
down into her eyes. Then they started
out in search of Storm, and they were
just in time. The steel chamber had
become box, colin shaped. three feet
square and eight feet high. Storm
was in bad shape. but food and water

vived him.

LIKE CANCEL AT THE GATE"
swInburne In Gorgeous Array, APP
peared to Simple Villagers as
Flaming Apparition.

An amusing story of Swinburne is
told by Edmund Gosse. At the age of
twenty-three Swinburne was sent TO
study history under Bishop Stubs,
who was then in charge of a country
parish in Essex. He arrived there on
a Saturday and was excused attend
ance at Sunday morning church on the
ground that he must be tired with his
journey.
He had breakfast in bed, but finding
It glorious morning he arrayed him
self In scarlet slippers and a light
crimson dressing gown, sauntered into
the garden and leaned pensively over
the gate, with his red hair flaming bril-
liantly in the sunlight.
The church bells were ringing and
the parishioners had all to pass the
parsonage gate to get to church. But
none of them dared to pass the fam
ing apparition, and all came to halt.
The church bells stopped, but at the
instance of the vicar, who could not
believe that all the Practitioners had
deserted him, were rung again.
At last the boldest man in the vii
lage bolted past the gate and the rest
stampeded after him, Swinburne gaz
ing at them in quiet wonder at their
strange method of going to church

was a shrek as of some human being

low gurglings aud chucklings, and
then another shrek.
Knowing that no natives were in the

Women In War.

What a splendid courage and I'M
tagging zeal in their countrys cause
the Boer women showed in the South
African war has never been so fully
realized as it will be now by all who
read the remarkable record just pub
lished under the title of "Petticoat
Commands" This is practically the
diary done in narrative form of girl
who, with her widowed mother, out.
witted the English officers and men
and helped their countrymen. They
were clever, cultivated and kindly wo,
men, simply aglow with patriotism;
and to read what they did and how
they did it makes one realize afresh
what wonderful creatures women are.
Let scientists say what they will
women are in no way inferior to men,
and in many ways vastly superior In
resource certainly, in tact often, in
strength Of purpose at least theiI
equals.

In while you find one that is some

New York has a scarecrow that is dis
tinctly valuable. 1t is sweet thing.
The farmer thought that something
about the scarecrow was not as usual,
and he went to find out what it was.
He found that bees were swarming
about the figure, and that one leg of
the trousers was filled with honey
comb. 1t was queer place for a
swarm of wild bees, but the farmer
did not object to their trespassing on
his property. TIe let them alone and
after they had stored up a good sup
ply of honey he coaxed them into a
hive and set them UP to housekeeping
In his orchard. Then the children had
fresh honey on their napcakes.
