She dropped her handkerchief, later
her bracelet, and finally her crop, in
hope that these slight clues might
bring her help. She knew that Jones
would hear of the fire, and, finding
that she had not returned with the
riding master, would Immediately
start out in pursuit. She was begin
ming to grow very fond of Jones, who
never spoke unless spoken to. who
was always at hand. faithful and
loyal
From afar came the low rumble of
motor. She wondered if her captor
heard it. He did, but his ears tricked
him into believing that it came from
another direction. Eventually they
arrived at the hut. and Florence was
forced to enter. The man locked the
door and waited outside for the auto
mobile which he was expecting. He
was rather dumfonnded when he saw
that 1t was coming from the city, not
going toward ii.
1t was Norton. The riderless horse
told him enough: the handkerchief
and bracelet and crop led him
straight for the hut.
The man before the hut realized by
this time that he had made mistake
He attempted to re-enter the hut and
prepare to defend it till his compan-
ions hove in sight. But Florence, rec
ognizing Norton, held the door with
all her strength. The man snarled
and turned upon Norton, only to re-
ceive a smashing blow on the jaw
Norton flung open the door. Into

car coming up the road. Hurry"
1t was not long chase. The car of
the auto bandits, looking like an or

machine, and it gained swiftly on

waited grimly.

was the head groom. The man stop
ped his horse in a cloud of dust.
"Sir, the stables are on firel"
Fire."
All the riding masters savings
were invested in the stables. The
fact that he had solemnly promised
never to leave Florence alone and
that he had accepted a generous
bonus slipped from his mind at the
thought of fire, terrible word to any
horseman. He wheeled and started
off at breakneck speed, his head
groom gathering behind him.
Florence naturally wondered which
OF the two courses to pursue; follow
them, when she would be perfectly
helpless to aid them, or continue the
ride and save at least one horse from
the terror of seeing flames. She chose
the latter. But she did not ride with
the earlier zest. She felt depressed.
She loved horses, and the thought of
them dying in those wooden stables
was horrifying.
The fire, however, proved to be in
cipient. But it was plainly incendiary.
Someone had set fire to it with pur-
pose in view. Norton recognized this
fact almost as soon as the firemen.
He had come this morning with the
idea of surprising Florence. He was
going out on horseback to join her.
His spine grew suddenly cold. A

the road, He ran over to the garage,
secured a car, and went humming
out toward the river road. A trap,
and only by the sheerest luck had he
turned up in time.
Meantime Florence was walking
her mount slowly. For once the
scenery passed unobserved. She was
deeply engrossed with her thoughts,
some of which were happy and some
of which, were sad. If only her

She was brought out of her rev.

ing along the road ahead of her.
Finally he plunged upon his face in
the road Like the tender-hearted
girl she was, she stopped, dis
mounted, and ran to the fallen man
to give him aid. She suddenly
found her wrists clasped in two
hands like iron. The man rose to

gled wildly, but futilely.

MONDAY. AUGUST 10. 1914.

Uranus rules with strong sway,
according to astrology, and the day
should be a fortunate one.
1t is favorable aspect for travel
ing on business.
The rule portends gain, fair pros
meets for the future and general good
luck.
The rule is believed to be especially
auspicious for Investigations of every
sort. Those who seek information or
knowledge are likely to obtain unex-
pected results.
Railroads are subject to most en-
couraging influence, which is read as
foreshadowing big business as well as
reorganization and widespread
ahanges Young men will take prom
inent places. the seers predict
Inventions have been subject to the
most stimulating influence for some
time astrologers declare, and the
winter will be marked by number
NJ astonishing demonstrations OF new
mechanisms.
As the kindly aspects of Uranus
fond to make persons firm, independ-
emf and businesslike, the day should
be used wisely. 1t is good date Tor
beginning enterprises or pushing VEN
lures of large scope. Persons born
under Aquarius are believed to be es-
pecially susceptible to these intiu-
enceS.
The rule is encouraging for those
who are in love, as the psychic condi-
tons are said to be conducive to ro-
nance. since the planet that affects
the spiritual vision makes the mental
attributes compelling.
October is to be a month marked by
important events for New York city,
the seers predict. Public affairs Will
become much entangled, London as
trologer predicts, and financial prob
lens will confront the city. Political
scandals will be numerous The
mayor is warned to be circumspect in
conducting public affairs, as he viii
be severely criticized.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
should not take risks of any sort in
tbe next year. Change and travel are
foreshadowed and they should bring
banafits. @- --------

SUNDAY, AUGUST 0, 1914.
Those who read the stars find
this is a day over which the planets
exercise a milder sway than usual.
While Mercury and Neptune are adj
verse, their rule is not strong. Late
ip the day Jupiter is slightly friendly.
II is a time for reflection and con-
temptation, since the astral forces
incline toward thoughtfulness and
are believed to encourage clear in
uer vision.
Clergymen are subject to a gov
ernment which will bring them many
perplexities. New plans of work will
be tried, it is predicted, and liberal
altruistic movements fostered.
There is a prophecy that relief
work in foreign countries, will be i'm
peratiye. India is under a malefic
sign, presaging many Internal
troubles and much suffering among
the people, Anarchists will commit
outrages, it is said, and public men
will be in peril.
Letter writing is under a sinister
rule today. Lovers are warned to
be particularly cautious.
Petty worries and anxieties may
annoy women. These should be put
aside. lest they lead to hasty speech
and unwise acts. The astral govern
mtnt is not fortunate for domestic
happiness.
A bstemiousness in eating Is ad-
vised, as the aspect is said to be
conducive to diseases of the stom-
ech and digestive tract.
foundations in Holland, early in
the autumn, are prophesied. The
oi,een should guard her health, as
she is believed to be subject to un-
favorable influences. The transit OF
Mars over the Moon is construed as
indicating many anxieties.
The Emperor of Japan, whose
birthday is this month, Is warned
OF extraordinary events which are
foreshadowed. Danger of an Anglo
japanese complication is presaged-
The death of famous philanthropy
list is prophesied. He will found
novel charity.
Agitation on the subject of divorce
will be more widespread than ever
before. Books on the subject will
meet with unusual sale. Women au-
tbors are warned of severe criti-
cism.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
rather an unlucky omen. Disappoint-.
ment is prognosticated. Changes OF
any sort will not be wise.
Children born on this day may be
delicate and high strung. They are
likely to be extraordinary bright and
talented, but their lives may be
marked by viccissitudes.
