The House of Seven Stairs
BY HOWARD FALK.
CONTINUED from yesterday


A messenger boy entered with a
telegram which Lenkas read. The six
men returned down another stairs
after the messenger boy left. The
leader read to them.
Watch out. Detective Darwin
around premises somewhere.

The men started but quickly recov-
cred themselves. LenlSas said: I'VE

Suddenly the couch under which
Darwin was concealed rolled lit

answer Darwin was dragged out.
What have you TO say for your
self" asked Lenkas. For answer
Darwin presented a revolver. Hands
up" he commanded.
Lenkas leaned ever so little toward
the table and Darwin felt the floor
rise and "a closet of solid steel sur
rounded him.
He called and shot, but OF no avail.
After firing himself he leaned against
one of the steel sides. He could hear
nothing without.
A funny sensation ran UP his spine.
The steel closet was being slowly
charged with electricity. Darwin,
brave as he was, turned pale. They
meant to electrocute him alive.
He sank in a motionless heap.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10. 1914.

Astrologers find this day OF con-
trary influences, for Saturn rules
strongly for good, while Venus is ad-
verse.
1t is a time when conservative, pru-
dent and diplomatic ideas should be
entertained and success in negotla-
tions upon which great events hinge
is more likely to be attained whiie
this configuration prevails.
Building, repairing and dealing
with real estate agents are subject
to fortunate conditions today.
There is sign presaging large
profits to shoemakers. harness ma
kers and all who sell leather.
Elderly persons are under kindly
sway when Saturn is in benehc as
pect. Fame is promised an aged
financier, who will do a public SER
vice.
The adverse rule OF Venus is inter-
preted as warning that women VIII
have ''many cares, much anxiety and
exacting work"
This is not a lucky day for we'd
dings or for any entertainment at
which men and women meet.
Milliners and modisteS are subject
TO conditions that demand extraordi-
nary business ability.
Under this government 1t is wise to
refrain from excuses of every sort.
Eating and drinking should be mod
crate, as this aspect is conducive to
disease of the digestive tract.
Fires may be unusually numerous.
Danger from explosives and electro
cal apparatus is increased under this
rule, the seers declare.

Educational matters are coming
under a direction which promises a
year of good results. The small COL
leges should prosper.
Mars is in a place in the horoscope
of the Queen Of England, which pre-
sages brief period of ill-health.
The death of a young soldier of
royal lineage is prognosticated. Sor-
row will enter a palace, astrologers
say
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of quiet year that is not
altogether prosperous. Disappoint-
ment concerning domestic affairs is
presaged.
Children born on this day may be
inclined toward carelessness and lack
of self-respect, but they are likely to
be clever and lovable. They usually
marry young.

Tales of a Farm
by ALICE BEvER.

On large farm situated in the
pleasant town of B., several miles
from any other farm, there dwelt a
large family which consisted of Mr..
and Mrs. and the five children, the
Oldest fifteen and the youngest eight,
namely: Daniel, Eleanor William,
Gertrude and Arthur Bailey. Besides
these there were also many boarders.
At the time which l am describing
there was among those present a Mrs.
Carter with her only son Walter, a
spoiled child of about seven years of
age
When he first arrived at the farm
he Immediately began exploring it
and asking innumerable questions.
Not that this would have been so Of
fensive, but the tone and manner In
which lie spoke greatly aggravated

Martyrs to Vice

The martyrs to vice far exceed the
martyrs to virtue, both in endurance
and in number So blinded are they
to their passions that they suffer
more to-insure perdition than saliva
ton. Religion does not forbid the
rational enjoyments of life as stern
ly as avarice forbids them. She does
not require such sacrifices Of ease or
renunciations of quiet as does pride.
She does not murder sleep like dis
sipation; nor health like intemper-
ance; nor scatter wealth like extrav-
agance or gambling. She does not
embitter life like discord nor shorten
it like dueling; nor harrow it like re-
venge. She does not impose more
vigilance than suspicion; more anx-
iety than selfishness; nor half as
many NOTIFICATIONS as vanity.

those whom he asked, and, as he was
boarder, no one dared say anything
to him.
Finally he spied some pigs in q pen
and decided that he might have some
fun with them. Taking a small PEN
knife from pocket in his velvet
Russian blouse suit, he selected and
cut a long switch from a bush nearby
Then, seating himself astride the edge
of the pen he began switching the
pigs and making them run around
and around the pen. Whacki whack
went the switch and squeal squeal,
went the pigs. Around and around
the pen he chased them, laughing
and shouting with glee all the while.
Finally ono of them became ex-
hausted and sank down upon the
ground, whereupon the other two fol-
lowed his example. Seeing this, Wal
ter leaned over to deal one of them
a particularly vicious blow and,
to his great discomfort and chagrin.
and the pigs evident delight, fell Ia.

Second Thoughts in Duel.

In the history of dueling it has seF
dom happened that neither adversary
would fire upon the other. Such a
case has just occurred at Moscow,
where, after an alteration in tram
way-car. young staff lieutenant char
lenged retired general of over sixty
to a duel.
The challenge was accepted. and
an encounter with pistols was ar
ranged in a wood When the signal
to fire was given. to the great sur
prise of the seconds. neither general
nor lieutenant pulled his trigger.
The former explained afterwards
that he could not risk destroying a
young life over trivialty, while the
lieutenant said that 1t was impossible
to fire upon an opponent who had not
raised his arm. Curiously enough, no
reconciliation was effected after the
meeting.
