Rose Turned on Her PassionateIy.


here in anguish all these weary years
for the fulillment of my revenge only
to be cheated at the end by Death?
God grant that Alan Law may be laid
down still living here at my feet!
a. Then >"
A bitter smile twisted his tortured
features: Then shall my will be done
to him! And then, when l have seen
him die rs his father died-then-Ah.
God!-then at last / too may die!
There was a long silence, then
groan of exasperated protest: why
do they not come? why does Judith
delay, when she knows how / suffer?
Why have / been put off from day to
day with her kilograms that begged
for more time and promised every
thing but told nothing until yester-
day. Where are those mes
sages she sent me yesterday"
His one sound hand CROPPED out like
a claw and sought mass of papers
on the desk beside him. sorting out
from among them two yellow forms.
Painfully he blinked over these and
slowly his pain-bent lips conned their
wording;
Alan and Rose safe with me-will
bring both home tomorrow night with

then the second: Have motorcar
waiting for me tomorrow morning
from three o'clock till called for New
Bedford waterfront-Judith.
MOI" he affirmed with the fervor
q one persuaded by his own desires:
81 must not doubt the girl! She has
promised, she has performed:
So still was he, indeed that he
seemed to sleep, but so deceptive was
that semblance that he was alert for
the least sound. The girl entered soft
ly, as if fearful of disturbing his slum-
bers; but she found him with head
erect and eyes a-blaze.
Judith" he cried, his great voice
vibrating like brazen bell. AT last!
Where is he? You have brought him ?
Where is he?"
With no more answer than sigh,
the girl dropped her head and let her
hands hang Imply with palms ex-
posed.
Aftes an instant OF incredulous dis
appointment the man shot a single,
frigid question at her:
You have failed?"
Il have failed" she confessed.
'Why?"
She shrugged slightly. who knows
why one fails? / did my best: he was
too much for me, outwitted me al
every turn. Time and again thought

Alan swung himself bodily about, so
that, seated again astride the girder,
he faced the assassin who sat up,
straddling the girder, his feet hooked
beneath it a stiletto poised in his
right hand to strike.
But even now Alan was In little or
no better case than before. If he faced
the thug, he faced him with no arms
other than his bare hands He had not
even a pen-knife in his pockets.
With a low cry of desperation Alan
snatched off his hat soft and shape
less felt affair, and flung 1t squarely In
the fellows face.
Before he could recover-before.
that is, II dropped away and cleared
his vision, Alan had bent forward and
grasped the wrist of the hand that
held the knife.
He snatched simultaneously at the
other hand, but it eluded him.
Alan had this advantage as long as
the knife might not strike-that his
right arm was free. while the assassin
had only his left. With this he strove
persistently to reach his knife-hand
and possess himself of the weapon.
AS persistently Alan foiled his purpose
by dragging the knlfehand toward him
and swinging It far out to one side. At
the same time he struck repeatedly
with his clenched right fist at the OH
er's face. His blows did little dam.
age beyond disconcerting the other;
but this proved a very considerable
factor In the duel In the end, they
served together with that steady, re,
sistless downward and outward drag
to break the grip of the mans locked
legs.
Abruptly he pitched forward on his
face along the girder, kicking wildly
grasping at the air. The stiletto fell
from an instinctively relaxed grasp
and disappeared. And before Alan
could release his hold. or ease the
strain upon the right arm of the as
sassin, this last had slipped bodily
from the girder and hung helpless in
space. dangling at the end of Alan S
arm-with no more than the grip OF
five fingers between him and death.
The shock of that unpresaged turn
brought Alan forward and fiat on his
stomach. And the strain on his left
arm was terrific. He doubted If he
could maintain it for another minute
Nor was there any reason why he
should retain it. The end he had de
signed for his victim was merely his
just desert.
And yet Alan could not let him go.
Thus the battle began anew-but
now it was a battle with a man half
crazed and struggling so madly thai
he well-nigh frustrated the efforts o
his rescuer.
In the upshot the assassin lay like ;
limp rag across the girder. head ant
arms dangling on one side, legs ant
feet on the other, spent with his ter
rife exertions and physically sick witt
terror.
And in this state Alan left him: b
had done enough; let the man shift
for himself from this time on.

something fiuttered from the pack of
envelopes which Digby had disturbed
and fell to the floor between the two
men.
Face up, 1t grinned sardonic mock
cry of Alan's confidence: it was a trey
of hearts.
With an ashen face and q trembling
hand, Digby stopped to pick the
damned thing up; but Alan was be-
forehand with him, and got his fingers
first upon the card.
Nov will you believer" Digby de-
manded huskily.
I'm what? A simple coincidence? ?"
Alan fiouted. Not 1! Who knows I'm
IN New York-or that the Arthur Law
renee for whom your agent engaged
these rooms was Alan Law. No, my
friend: it's a bit too thick for me. Take
my word for it, this is nothing more
nor less than u souvenir of a poker
party held by yesterdays tenant of
this suite"
"Perhaps-perhaps" Digby assent
ed, stroking tremulous lips. but I'm
afraid for you, my boy. Who knows
that Trine's spies were not watching
my man when he made this reserva-
ton? Who knows but that Arthur
Lawrence was too thin a disguise for
Alan Law? tell you I'm frightened
to the marrow of my old bones! Do
me this favor at least my boy: now
that you've been warned, whether by
accident or design-we won't argue
that-do leave town-go incognito to
some quiet place near by and wait
there for the sailing of the next trans
atlantic steamer Oh, surely you can't
deny me this one wish of my fond old
heart. my boy!"
With a gesture of unfeigned affec-
ton Alan dropped a hand on Digby's
shoulder.
There's nothing on earth would
not do for YOU" he said: you've been
father and a mother to me ever since
| can remember even If we were sepa-
rated, most of the time. by three thou
sand miles of salt water. But this
thing can't do it. even for you
can't do it even for myself. Rose
Urine is here in New York, in the
hands and at the mercy Of her father
and sister: and you may judge what
their mercy will be when you learn
all that she has done for me. | won't
go and l can't go until find her and
take her with me. And that is final"
Then" Digby struck in. grasping
wildly at a straw of hope, Il have your
word you'll 60 providing find and re-
store Rose to your"
"You have my word to that. unques-
tionably. Bring Rose to me, and I'll
gladly shake the dust of New York
from my shoes, and never return till
Urine is put away comfortably in his
grave"
ut shall be DONE" Digby promised.
1T must"
"You believe that?"
"In twelve hours Rose shall be re.
stored to you"
"Will you make a book on It? I'll
bet you something happens-and hope
l lose into the bargain. If you believe
you can carry out your promise, wire
the White Star line to reserve the

and make arrangements for a mar

His preliminary reconnaissance pro-
vided little more than comfortless ex-
ercise. Huge. still. its wall bathed in
the milk and ink of moonlight and
shadow, all its windows dark but
one-and that one. in the topmost tier,
showed only feeble gimmer, so slight
that Alan almost overlooked it.
But once discovered, 1t focused upon
itself his thoughts with a power little
less than hypnotic.
He believed with small doubt that
Rose was a prisoner within those
walls that Judith must have con
veyed her there with all speed.
And, this being the presumptive case,
that small, high window of the light
might well be hers.
Directly across the street from the
Urine residence. on the opposite cor
ner, a colossal apartment structure
stood halffnished, stonework to its
second story, gaunt iron skeleton rear
ing above
To his infinite disgust, Alan found
the guardian very wide awake, very
much on the job: no chance here to
steal unseen into the building.
This in itself might have been
deemed a suspicious circumstance:
not for nothing does an honest night
Waterman so deny the laws of nature
and the tenets of his craft But Alan
merely praised the man while cursing
the very fact of his existence; and, ac-
costing, overcame with bank-notes
what seemed an uncommOnIy STUBBORN
reluctance, and got his way.
He could not know that another
skulked behind a barrier of lime bar
rels and overheard all that passed and,
when Alan had ducked smartly into
the unfinished building, rose and stole
after him with footsteps as noiseless
as q cats and a face that had the saw
agery Of a tigers when it was tran
silently revealed in a shaft Of moon
light.
At length Alan gained the gridiron
of girders on a plane with the lighted
window across the way, and crept
along one of these, gingerly on his
hands and knees, until he came to its
end and might, if he cared to, look
down a hundred feet to the sidewalks.
That view, however, did not tempt;
he kept his eyes level; and was re-
warded with bare glimpse Of a pref
tily-papered wall framed in the lace Of
half-drawn curtains.
And of sudden-whether through
fortuity, or instinct or the psyche
logical attraction or his steadfast con
centration-the tenant of the room
came to the window and stood there
for little. looking pensively out, alto
gether unconscious of the watcher in
his aerial coign.
Again a horrible uncertainty har-
assed him. Was the woman Rose
or Judith? That she was one of these
I he could plainly see. But which? Dared
he assume his hopes fulfilled?
With difficulty he detached his
| hungry vision from her. and drawing
| from his pocket small notebook, tore
out a blank page. placed this fat on
the girder, found a pencil, and with
the assistance of a ray or two OF
| moonlight scrawled a message of al
most stenographic brevity.
When he looked up from this task
she had vanished.
Sitting up. astride the girder. he
took his watch-a cheap affair he had
picked up when reclothing himself in
the garments of civilized society, al

BIG EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE:
Take glass Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts Or Bladder
bothers you.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in health
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of
lead; your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so it
no longer is a source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders. ~". ~.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes delightful efervescent
Whitewater beverage, and belongs I'M
every home, because nobody can make
mistake by having good kidney flush
ing any time. i=z''

WILL Be RECEIVED
BY ADMIRAL ! MAYO
Mexican Federal Captains Ask
for Interview.

Washington, May 15.-The captains
of the Mexican federal gunboats Bra
vo and Zaragoza, which came down
the Panuco river from Tampico, have
asked Rear Admiral Mayo for an in
terview and he has informed them
that he will receive them on board
the Connecticut.
Further confirmation of the fall of
Tampico into the hands of the Con-
stitutionalists was received at the
navy department in a message from
Admiral Mayo, transmitted through
Admiral Badger. This report says the
Mexican federal gunboat Vera Cruz
still was up the river at the railway
bridge.
Admiral Mayo reported that the fed
eral troops blew up their barracks
before retiring from the city.
With the transfer of Tampico from
Mexican federalists to the Constitu-
tionalists, President Wilson now feels
it will be possible for the oil inter-
ests in the Tampico district to be
protected.

EASY to DARKEN.
YOUR CRAY HAIR
Try this! Mix Sage Tea and Sulphur
and brush it through your hair,
taking one strand at time.

When you darken your hair with Sage
Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be-
cause it's done so naturally, 80 evenly.
Preparing this mixture, though, at home
is mussy and troublesome. For so cents
you can buy at any drug store the ready
to-use tonic called .sWyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. By morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair.
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and
luxuriant. You will also discover dan
druff is gone and hair has stopped falling.
p Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is a sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire a youthful and attractive appear
ance, get busy at once with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur and look years younger.

UNIONS ARE: NOT TRUSTS
Nor Are Farmers Organizations, Says
Minority Report.

Washington, May 15.-''Labor and
farmers organizations should not be
treated as trusts" says the report of
the minority of the house judiciary
committee on the antitrust bill, filed
by Representatives Volstead of Minne-
sofa and Nelson OF Wisconsin.
The bill leaves the status of labor
organizations under the antitrust laws
uncertain, and forbids the co-opera-
tive efforts of farmers in buying COM
nIodities or selling their products" it
continues.

+"uerta Delegates Will Be on Hand
When Mediation Conference Is Call
ed to Order at Niagara Falls, can.,
on Monday Next.
Washington, May 15.-Diplomatic
and state department officials are
sRsily engaged in completing prelim-
1aary plans fer the mediation confer
ence at Niagara Falls, Ont, next week.
American representatives to the
conference conferred with state de-
Eartment officials and the South Amer
Lean mediators were awaiting definite
word from Huerta's representatives.
All fear that the Huerta delegates
would not arrive in time for the be-
ginning Of the conference was dis
pelled by the announcement that they
were to proceed direct from Havana
TO Key West.
That would give them ample time
S reach the Canadian border town for
the beginning of the negotiations.
1t became evident that the extent
TO which the delegates would accept
asurtesies of the American govern
ntent while travelling through the Unit
sl States would devolve in part upon
NE discretion of the South American
eavOys.
The Huerta agents had firmly de-
skned to accept anything but most
oerfunctory attention while passing
through General Funston's lines at
Vera Cruz, and it had been assumed
hey would pursue that policy after
landing at Key West from Havana.
However, a dispatch received by the
snvoys from Esteva Ruise, Huerta' s
foreign minister, indicated the atti-
tRde of the federal mission might be
changed.
