He was a nervous man, says the
Philadelphia Record. Most men are

so. The tooth that had to come out
was quite a small affair-from the
dentists point of view. From the Pa

He decided to have gas. The den
fist, who was in a hurry to go to a
baseball game, tried to persuade him
to do without, but he was determined.
The dentist, in a fever of impa-
tience, waited for the victim to lose
consciousness, but the nervous man
insisted on keeping an eye open,
though he had enough gas to float an
airship.

Hoardina Coin in France.

1t has been estimated that during
the month Of August silver coin to the
amount Of $500, 600, 900, or 1000, 00O,-
900 francs, went into hoard in France,
the Wall Street Journal states. The
difficulty Of making small change In
der these circumstances resulted in is
suing notes of denominations from a
half franc to two francs each. This
fractional currency is made exchange
able at the Bank of France for larger
bills. If silver currency in the five
countries Of France, England, Ger
many, Austria-Hungary and Italy fled
into hoard to about the same extent,
then as much as $4,000, 000, 900 in sill
yer alone, or twice the public debt Of
the United States, must have disap-
peared in little more than a month.
Assuming that as much gold and silver
went into hiding, the five countries
must have withdrawn from circulation
and from bank deposit a grand total
of $4,000, 100000 of metallic currency.

They shoot from behind rocks and all
that, and a woman amt noways safe.

He said he'd try anything-oncel"
Bud spat out the phrase vindictively,
for his blood was up and his heart was
full of bitterness.
"Oh dear!" faltered Gracia. And
SO you do not think that Phil is
brave?"
Hes brave to start things" sneered
Bud, but not to carry 'em through"
For a moment Gracia huddled up
against a pillar, her hand against her
face, as il to ward off a blow. Then
she lowered it slowly and moved re-
l~uctantly away.
Il must go now she said, and Bud
did not offer to stay her, for he saw
what his unkindness had done.
Il am sorry!" she added pitifully,
but he did not answer. There a
nothing that he could say now.
In a moment of resentment, driven
to evaporation by her taunts, he had
forgotten his pledge to his pardner
and come between him and his girl.
That which he thought wild horses
could not draw from him had flashed
out in a fit Of anger-and the damage
was beyond amendment, for what he
had said was the truth.

The Land Of Broken Promises
tcopydsAL 1914 by Frank A. hiunssy)
SYNOPSIS.

Bud Hooker and Phil De Lancey are
forced, owing to a revolution in Mexico,
to give Up their mining claim and return
10 tna United. States. In the border town
Of Gadsdeu Bud meets Henry kruger, a
wealthy miner, who makes him a propo-
sttion 10 return to Mexico to acquire title
20 a very rich mine which Kruger had
blown up when he found he had been
cheated out Of the title by one Aragon.
The Mexican subsequently had spent a
large sum Of money in an unsuccessful
attempt to relocate the vein and then al
lowed the land to revert for taxes. Hook
er n De Lancey arrive at Fortuna, near
where the Eagle Tail mine is located.
They engage Cruz MendeZ to acquire the
TILE for them and begin preliminary
work. Aragou accuses them of jumping
his claim. Hooker discovers that matri-
fnonial entanglements prevent MendeZ
from acquiring a valid title. Phil, who
has been paying attention to Gracia Ara
Eon, decides to turn Mexican and acquire
the title. Arason fails in his attempt to
drive them off the lain. A rich vein of
gold Is struck and work on the mine Is
stopped until the title can be perfected.
Phil is arrested by Manuel del Rey, cap
tain OF the rurales and suitor of Gracia's.
He is released on promise to stay away
from Gracla. He asks Bud to take care
of Gracia. The rebels are defeated in a
fierce battle near Fortuna Phil deserts
turns Mexican n takes steps to secure
title to the mine in his own name. Hired
assassins of Aragoa make an unsuccess-
full attack on Bud and four of them are
KILLED. Rebels again attack Fortuna.
Gracla asks Bud to escort her to the
American line, with the intention of join
ing Phil. but Bud refuses.
