Ginty paused and looked round the room with
his dull malevolent eyes, "Who will volun-
teer for the job?"
Several young fellows held up their hands.
The Bodymaster looked at them with an
approving smile. "Youll do, Tiger Cormac

"What has the man done?" asked young
Wilson.
"Sure, it's not for the likes of you to ask
what the man has done. He has been judged
over there That's no business of ours. All
we have to do is to carry it out for them, same
as they would for US. Speaking of that, two
brothers from the Merton lodge are coming
over to us next week to do some business in
this quarter"
"Who are they?" asked someone.
Faith, it is wiser not to ask. If you know
nothing, you can testify nothing, and no
trouble can come of it. But they are men
who will make a clean job when they are
about it."

very truth dangerous gang OF murderers
whose minds had suffered such complete
moral perversion that they took horrible
pride in their proficiency at the business, and
looked with deepest respect at the man who
had the reputation for making what they
called "a clean Job"
To their contorted natures it had become a
spirited and chivalrous thing to volunteer for
service against some man who had never in
jured them, and whom in many cases they
had never seen in their lives. The crime COM
n1itted, they quarrcled as to who had actually
struck the fatal blow and amused one another
and the company by describing the cries and
contortions of the murdered man.
At first they had shown some secrecy in
their arrangements; but at the time which
this narrative describes their proceedings were
extraordinarily open, for the repeated failures
of the law had proved to them that, on the
one hand, no one would dare to witness against
them and on the other they had unlimited
number of stanch witnesses upon whom they
could call, and we'll filled treasure chest
from which they could draw the funds to en-
gage the best legal talent in the State. In
ten long years of outrage there had been no
single conviction, and the only danger that
ever threatened the Scowrers lay in the vic
tim himself, who, however outnumbered and
taken by surprise, might and occasionally did
leave his mark upon his assailants.
AECMURDO had been warned that some or
AA deal Law before him; but no one would
tell him in what it consisted He was led now
into an outer room by two solemn brothers.
Through the plank partition he could hear the
murmur of many voices from the assembly
within. Once or twice he caught the sound
of his own name, and he knew that they were
discussing his candidacy. Then there entered
an inner guard with a black and gold sash
across his chest.
"The Bodymaster orders that he shall be
trussed, blinded, and entered" said he.
The three of them then removed his coat,
turned up the sleeve of his right arm, and
finally passed a rope round above the elbows
and made it fast. They next placed thick
black cap right over his head and the upper
part of his face, so that he could see nothing.
He was then led into the assembly hail.
1t was pitch dark and very oppressive un-
der his hood He heard the rustic and muir
muir of the people round him, and then the
voice of McGinty sounded dull and distant
through the covering of his ears.

know however, that in this county and in
other counties of these parts we have certain
rites, and also certain duties of our own which
call for good men. Are you ready to be
tested?"
"I am"
"Are you of stout hearth"
"I am"
p "Take a stride forward to prove it,"
As the words were said he felt two hard
points in front of his eyes; pressing upon
them so that it appeared as if he could not
move forward without danger of losing them.
None the less he nerved himself to step
resolutely out, and as he did so the pressure
melted away There was low murmur of
applause.
"Hc is of stout heart" said the voice. "Can
you bear pain?"
GAS we'll as another" he answered.
"Test hin!"
1t was all he could do to keep himself from
screaming out; for an agonizing pain shot
through his forearm. He nearly tainted at
the sudden shock of it; but he bit his lip and
clenchcd his hands to hide his agony
"I can take more than that" said he.
This time there was loud applause. A finer
first appearance had never been made in the
lodge. Hands clapped him on the back, and
the hood was plucked from his head He
stood blinking and smiling amid the congratu-
lations of the brothers.

McGinty "You have already sworn the oath
of secrecy and fidelity, and you are aware
that the punishment for any breach of it is
instant and inevitable death?"
Il am," said McMurdo.
"And you accept the rule of the Body
master for the time being under all circun-
stances?"
IL do"
"Then, in the name of Lodge 341, Ver1nissa,

Scanlan, and we will drink to Our worthy

McMurdos coat had been brought to him;
but before putting it on he examined his right
arm, which still smarted heavily. There on
the flesh of the forearm was a circle with
triangle within it, deep and red as the brand
ing iron had left it. One or two of his neigh
bors pulled up their sleeves and showed their
own lodge marks.

"Tut. 1t was nothing" said he; but it

WHEN the drinks which followed the cere-
mony of initiation had all been dis
posed of, the business of the lodge proceeded.
McMurdo accustomed only to the prosaic
performances of Chicago, listened with open
ears and more surprise than he ventured to
show to what followed.
"The first business on the agenda paper"
said McGinty, "is to read the following letter
from Division Master Windle of Merton

CHAPTER XxVlII.

The high pass and the insurrectos
were behind them now and the rolling
plains of Aqua Negra were at their
feet. To the northeast the smoke ban,
ners of the Gadsden smelters lay like
ribbons across the sky, and the line
was not far away.
Yet, as they came down from the
mountains, Bud and Gracia fell silent
and slackened their slashing pace. The
time for parting was near, and part
ings are always sad.
But ten miles across the plain lay
Gadsden and Phil-Phil to whom Ora
cia was promised. There had been no
thoughts of him from the time they
sat together under the horse-blankets
waiting for the rain to pass until now
that the dangers were virtually over,
and but a short time more would place
them beyond the reach Of either ru-
rales or rebels. Bud thought of the
duty he owed his pardner, even though
that pardner had played him false.
Great as was his longing for Gracia,
he could not forget that duty. Their
companionship had been but thing
to forget If he could, or at best he
could only remember the sweetness
of it. and must forget the dreams he
had dreamed as he watched beside
Gracia in the hills. He was taking her
to Phil, and all else must be sacrificed
for duty.
Bud looked far out across the valley
to where a train pulled in from the
south, and the sight of it made him un.
easy. He watched still as it lay at the

GYMNASTICS FOR THE EYES
California Artist, Now in Her Eight
ieth Year, Tells How She Has
Preserved Sight.

Mrs Phoebe c. Taber. wife of G.
Major Taber Of Los Angeles, is prob
ably the oldest active artist in Cali
fornia. She recently celebrated her
eightieth birthday anniversary at a
family reunion held at the home of
a cousin, Charles w. Taber, and yet
she plies her brush industriously ev-
cry day and says that she is turning
out as much work as she did many
years ago.
And the most remarkable thing is"
she says, that l do not have to wear
glasses at all when l paint. | have a
good north light, and ! never wear
them. l believe my good eyesight is
the result of instructions L received
from the first teacher l ever had He
told me to take good care of my eyes
above all else, and when ever l should
find that | had overtaxed them to go
to the window and practise eye gym
nastics' by looking first at distant and
then at near objects. l have done so
and am glad Of it.
Mrs. Taber is versatile artist. Her
studio is lined with several hundred
of her paintings, and they include por
traits, figures, landscapes and many
paintings of California fruits and flow
ers She exhibited seven paintings at
the worlds fair in Chicago and ex-
hibited in Paris in 1891 and 1892.

tuted for the silver with equally good
effect.
The simplicity which marks the two
hats already described is emphasized
in the beautiful draped turban shown
on the left. This hat is apparently a
length of velvet with bias ends tied
about a frame This, at any rate, is
what it's drapings suggest. But in
reality it is not quite so simple as 1t
looks, and the fine hand Of the artist
is shown in this management of ma
terials.
The frame is, in fact, draped with
length of velvet which forms at the
same time it's facing. But the point
ed ends are made of separate pieces.
These pieces are lined with silver
cloth and tied together with a single
knot Yet they seem to be part OF
the body of the hat.
These three examples of the best
art Of the milliner are classed as
tailored hats If one is to indulge in
but one hat, it should be selected from
this class A tailored hat, possessing
the distinction of those shown here,
may be worn with almost any toi-
lette.

r. HE three hats which grace this
] page are entitled to be called
faultless millinery. And hat must
measure up to many requirements to
be so classed. First of all, it must
be beautiful, then it must be per-
fectly adapted to the occasions upon
which it is to be worn, and it must,
of course, be up to the minute in style
and show the use Of new trimmings
in a clever manner.
A hat of velvet is shown in the cen
ter. 1t is made on frame, which rolls
upward at the left side, into a grace
full and slightly curved brim and is
without an upward roll at the right
side. The velvet is put on with per-
feet smoothness and follows all the
curves of the frame exactly. At the
top of the crown a soft overhanging
puff, in a manner of the tam, is draped
to follow the lines of the brim. Be-
low this a collar Of satin extends
about the hat. At the right side, to-
ward the front, the crown is tackled to

did position for one of those novelties
of the season in flowers. In this case
is is a rose, with a cluster Of small
unopened buds in metallic fabric set
in ivy leaves with a mother-ofpearl
surface. In this hat we have novelty
of shape as well as novelty of trim
ming, and everyone will concede that
1t is a beautiful bit of millinery
A sailor hat of plush and silver
cloth suited to the winter season Is

new but is graceful and finished with
a soft puff in the top of the crown,
which is a characteristic of the sea-

plush surmounted by collar of fur.

With hand half-raised and Jaw on
his breast he struck spurs to his fright
ened mule and went dashing over the
ridge.
The others followed by twos and
threes, some shrinking, some protest
ing, some gazing forth villainously
from beneath their broad hats. AS they
looked back he whirled upon them and
swore he would kill the first man that
dared to turn his head.
After all, they were a generation Of
slaves, those low-browed, unthinking
poems, and war had not made them
brave. They passed on, the whole
line of bewildered soldiery, looking In
vain for the men that we're behind the
American. staring blankly at the beau
tiful woman who sat so courageously
by his side.
When the last had gone by Bud
picked up his rifle and watched him
around the point Then he smiled
grim1y at Gracia, whose eyes were still
round with wonder, and led the way
down the trail.

the direction of Aqua Negra, he reined
sharply to the north
What is it?" asked Gracia, coming
out of her reverie.
"Oh, nothing" answered Bud, slump
ing down in his saddle. Il see the rail-
road is open again-they might be
somebody UP there looking for u.s."
You mean"
well say bunch of rurales."
He turned still farther to the north
as he spoke and spurred his jaded
horse on. Gracia kept her roam be-
side him, but he took no notice, ex-
cept as he scanned the line with his
bloodshpt eyes. He was handbook
ing man now, with a rough stubble of
beard on his face and a sullen set to
his jaw AS two horsemen rode out
from distant Aqua Negra he turned
and glanced at Gracia.
Seems like we been on the run
ever since we left Fortuna" he said
with a rueful smile. Are you good
for just one more?"
What is it now?" she inquired
pulling herself together with an effort.
Are those two men coming out to
meet us? Do you think they'd stop
us?"

WORLDS WONDER IN OREGON
Hottest Springs on Earth Said to Have
Been Located Seventy Miles
From Portland.

Springs hot enough to cook beans
and boil eggs in three minutes have
been found within a short distance of
Portland, Ore They are on the Clack-
amas river, 80 miles south of Esta-
cada and 70 miles from Portland.
These springs are so in number,
and one throws out a stream seven
inches in diameter. The springs have
been known to the Indians for many
wears. A French halfbreed named
Michel Arquetto, trapper hearing an
old Indian of the Molalla tribe speak
of hot springs this side of the range.
made an investigation and found
them.
The springs are supposed to be the
hottest in the world-220 degrees.
Reans have been cooked in the larg-
or spring with the same dispatch as
on a stove. Eggs, enceased in mesh
Of any kind, have been cooked IN three
minutes. Even fish have been caught
in the Clackamas river and without
heins taken off the line have been
dropped into the spring and IN very
brief time cooked to a turn.
The waters come from solid rock
and are strongly impregnated with
salts but not of sufficient strength
to make the taste Objectionable.
Many stories are told by the Indians
with regard to the wonderful proper
ties of these springs and they have
heen known to cross the mountains

to bathe in the waters Of the Big
Hole" as they call 1t.

THE most striking coiffure which
i made its appearance in midsummer
showed the hair brushed back from
the face, without curl or wave, and the
forehead entirely uncovered. Where
the hair is naturally wavy and the
forehead we'll shaped this style was
possible. But, even so, only youthful
wearers could carry 1t off; it proved
generally unbecoming. Therefore the
new off-the-face coiffures are waved
and the hair brought down over the
forehead for little way, when such
an arrangement is found to suit the
style Of the wearer.
The hair is most conveniently
dressed in these new styles by parting
off a portion of it all around the head
and waving it. This leaves the back
hair to be combed up to the crown and
coiled into support for the end of the
waved portion. A very small and
rather fat hair roll placed around the
head before the waved hair is combed
