water, had been fully listed, but now
reliable information reaches the ed

Unless the druggists get "a corner

used. we shall expect to see a great
demand for this water from the many
beautiful women who visit Ashland,
and still desire to be more beautiful.
II Is estimated that not less than four
cubic inches OF water continually flow
from this spring. II certainly will be

He came swiftly into the room from the hall, and not from his closet. The look of relief in Yvonne's eyes was short-lived She saw amazement in the faces of the two old men-and knew!

 Sit down, Cruger," exclaimed Hod- der. "The lady won't miss you"
 "-relating to our first encounter with the great and only Ranjab," pur- sued Brood, oracularly. We found him in little village far up in the mountains. He was under sentence of death for murder. By the way Yyonne, the kris you have in your hand is the very weapon the good fel- low used in the commission of his crime. He was in prison and was to die within a fortnight after our arrival in the town. l heard of his unhappy plight and all that had led up to it. His case interested me tremendously. One night, week before the proposed execution, my friends and l stormed the little prison and rescued him. We were just getting over the cholera and needed excitement. That was fifteen years ago. He has been my trusted body servant ever since. l am sure you will be interested in what I have written about that thrilling adYen- ture."
 Yyonne had dropped the ugly knife upon the table as if it were a thing that scorched her fingers.
 Did he-really kill a man?" whis- pered Miss Janey, with horror in her eyes.
 "He killed a woman. His wife. Miss Janey. She had been faithless, you see. He cut her heart out And now, Ranjah, are you ready?"
 The Hindu salaamed "Ranjab is always ready, sahib," said he.

with Miss FolloweIl He took in the situation at glance. Was it relief that sprang into his eyes as he saw the two old men?
 Frederic came down from the win dow, somewhat too swiftly for one who is moved by shame and contrition, and faced the group with a weil-assumed look of modification in his pale, twitching face. He spoke in low, re- pressed tones, but not once did he permit his gaze to encounter that of his father.
 I'm awfully sorry to have made a nuisance of myself. It does go to my head and I-I dare say the heat of the room helped to do the work I'm all right now, however The fresh air did me lot of good Hope you'll overlook my foolish attempt to be a devil of fellow" He hestated a mo- ment and then went on, more clearly "1m all right now, father It shall not happen again, can promise you that" A close observer might have seen the muscles of his jaw harden as he uttered the final sentence. He intended that his father should take it as a threat, not as an apology.
 Brood was watching him closely. a puzzled expression in his eyes gradu- ally it developed into something like admiration In the clamor of voices that ensued the older man detected the presence of an underlying note of censure for his own behavior. For the first time in many years he experi- enced feeling of shame.
 Someone was speaking at his elbow. Janey Followell, in her young, enthusiastic voice, shrilled something

CHAPTER VIII.
He Killed a Woman"

His face was livid with rage For moment he glowered upon the two old men, his fingers working spasmod- ically, his chest heaving with the vol canic emotions he was trying so hard to subdue. Then he whirled about, to glare into the hall.
 Tn Gods name, Freddy, boy, what's happened?" cried old MT. Riggs, all a-tremble.
 Some minutes passed before he could trust himself to speak. Ugly veins stood out on his pale temples, as he paced the floor in front of them Even tually MT. Dawes ventured the vital question. in a somewhat hushed voice.
 Have you-quarreled with your fa- ther, Freddy"
 The young man threw up his arms in a gesture of despair. There was a wall of misery in his voice as he grated out:
 Tn the name of God, why should he hate me as he does? What have l done? Am I not a good son to him %

God, I-I, why, he is actually forcing me to hate him. do hate him! I swear to heaven, it was in my heart to kill him down there just now. l." He could not go on. He choked up and the tears rushed to his eyes. Abruptly turning away, he threw himself upon the couch and buried his face on his arms, sobbing like little child
 The old men, distressed beyond the power of speech, mumbled incoherent words of comfort as they slowly edged out toward the door. They tiptoed into the hall and neither spoke until their bedroom door was closed behind them. MT. Dawes even tried it to see that it was safely latched
 The curtains parted and Yvonne looked in upon the wretched Frederic. There was look of mingled pain and commiseration in her wide open eyes For moment she stood there regard ing him in silence. Then she swiftly crossed the room to the couch in the corner where he sat huddled up, his shoulders still shaking with the mis- cry that racked him. Her hand went out to touch the tousled hair, but stopped before contact Slowly she drew back, with glance of apprehen- sion toward the door of the Hindus

 His face clouded again. Do you know what you are doing to the boy?" he asked bluntly.

 Where are you going? To tell him?" he gasped.
 She waited an instant, and then came toward him. He never could have explained the unaccountable im- pulse that forced him to fall back a few steps as'she approached. Her eyes were gazing steadily into his, and her red lips were parted
