Omen Mutiny.

Open muIlny.
Though she had been schooled to hold
the very name of Law in loathing IN
speakable and to think OF Alan as a
mortal enemy and as one whose death
alone could properly requite the cruel
injury that had been done her father;
and though the man himself had
laughed to scorn her first involuntary
confession of that love for him which
now consumed her being with its In
satiable fires, she swallowed her
chagrin and followed him with the
solicitude Of one whose love can recog-
nize no wrong in its object. Through
all the remainder of that day of terror
she was never far from his side.
With the meekness of the strong,
she made herself his shadow. And
she was now the stronger, for she had
had more than an hours rest beside
the waterhole, which he had missed
on the way of that rocky windbreak.
Sooner or later his strength must fail
him and he would need her; till then
she was content to bide her hour.
1t befen presently in startling fash
ion; she was not yard behind him
when he vanished abruptly.
But the next moment Judith herseli

South African Diamonds.

The Cullinan, found in the Johan
nesburg Premier mine in 1905, was, OF
course, the gem Of South African dia
mcnds. 1t weighed 1892 carats 1t was
easily the biggest stone extant, al
though others almost equally famous
are the Koh-i-Noor Qndian), the Grea,
Mogul (Indian), and the Hope dia
mond, which is thought to bring it's
possessors bad luck. Every now and
then the romance of diamond seeking
is freshened by great, exciting
rush" to some supposed new-found
diggings, offering chances OF immense
wealth to fortunate seekers. Only q
short time ago such rush took place
to Bloemhof, a farming district on
the Vaal

ably dismayed and bewildered, the
broncho swung round, back to the
blast, and refused to bulge another
inch.
Himself more than half-dazed, but
still bounded by his nightmare vision
Of Judith, Alan disrlounted to escape
being torn bodily from the saddle by
that hellish sand-slast, and Selling
the bride sought to draw the horse
on with him.
He wasted his strength in that en-
deavor: the animal baked. planted
it's hoofs deep in the sand, stiffened
it's legs and resisted with the stub
bornness Of a roak; then, Of a sudden,
jerked his head smartly, snapped the
bride from his grasp and flung away,
scudding before the storm.
Pursuit was out of the question:
indeed, the bride was barely torn
from his hand before Alan lost sight
of the bronchu.
For a moment he stood rooted IN
CONSERVATION as in a bog-with an
arm upthrown across his face.
Then the thought OF Judith re-
Cured. :. :.
Head Bonded and shoulders rounded,
he began to forge way into the teeth
of the sandstorm.
How long he fought on, pitting his
strength against the elements, cannot
be reckoned.
In the end he stumbled blindly down
slight decline and was abruptly
conscious that he had in some way
found shelter from the full force of the
| wind.
He staggered on another yard or
two, breathing more freely, and blum
dered into a rough-ribbed wall of rock
some sporadic outcrop, he under
stood, whose bulk stood between him
and the storm.
He thought to rest for time, until
the storm had spent its greatest
strength; but as he laid his shoulder
gratefully against the rock and
scrubbed the dust from his smarting
eyes he saw what he at first conceived
to be a hallucination: Judith Urine
standing within a yard Of him, alive.
strong, free.
He stared increduiously, saw her
recognize him, open her mouth to
utter a wondering cry that was inaudi-
BILE, and come quickly nearer.
Alan! You came for me! You fol-
lowed me, through all thisi"
He threw off her hand with a bitter
laugh-that was like the croaking of a
raven as it issued from his bone-dry
throat-and in momentary possession
of hysteric madness, reeled away from
the woman and the shelter of the rock
! and delivered himself anew to the
mercy of the dust-storm.

had comprised the bandits death from

He stepped back, and snatched up
q case containing binoculars.
Not before the glasses were adjusted
to his vision did he find time to re-
sDond absently to the alarmed and in
sistent inquiries of his two compan-
ions, man of his own age and a girl
of some years less, who had been
wakened from their sleep by the re-
port of the rifle
Now the latter plucked his sleeve,
momentarily DETECTING the glasses
from the object which they were fol-
lowing so sedulously as 1t moved
along the heights; a wildly running
horse with a woman bound helpless
upon its back, both sharply in sill
houette against the burning blue.
"Alan!" the girl demanded, what
is it? Why did you fire? Why won't
you answer me? What is it?'
Judith" Alan replied tersely, again
picking up with the glasses the run
away horse that fed so madly along
the perilous and narrow track Of the
hill trail
The name was echoed from two
threats as Alan swung sharply and
thrust the glasses into the hands of
the girl.

SYNOPSIS.

The OF Hearts is the "death-sign" en-
ployed by Seneca Urine in the private war
or vengeance which, through the agency
or his daughter Judith, he wages against
Alan Law, son of the man, now dead, who
was innocently responsible for the acci-
dent which rendered Urine helpless Grip
pie Alan loves and is loved by Rose,
Judfth's twin and double. Judith vows to
compass his death, but under dramatic
circumstances Alan saves her life and So
unwiIHngly, wins her love. Thereafter
judith Is by turns animated by the new
love. the old hatred, and jealousy of her
sister. In escaping her persecution, Alan
and Rose and their friend Barcus take
refuge In the Painted Hills-a range Of
Grid mountains bordering the Arizona
deserts. Judith, while pursuing, suffers
change of heart and warns their in time
10 avert an attempt upon their lives. In
return for this she is seized by an outlaw
accomplice and bound helpless to the
pack OF horse. Alan shoots the accom-
plice and the horse runs away, following
a perilous mountain trail.

Dolls and toys from France, OF all
sizes, sorts and descriptions, will be
shown under the auspices Of the La
fayette Fund when the exhibition for
the Relief Fund of France is opened
next month at the old Knickerbocker
Club Building, $40 Fifth Avenue. These
dolls and toys were made in France by
disabled soldiers and women thrown
out of employment or upon their own
resources by war conditions. The ex
hibition will be under the personal
charge Of Nine. Charles lie Verrier. of
Paris, who has come here for this pur-
pose.
The idea Of the doll and toy exhi-
bition was conceived by Mile. Valentine
Thomson, well known in Paris as edi-
tor Of LA Vie Feminine" the cele-
brated newspaper for women. A COM
mission was formed by her to promote
the plan, associated with her being the

dent OF Chaptal College, in Paris, and
was in this country four years ago,
when he lectured for the Alliance Fran
caise.
Several interesting features Of this
exhibition were described yesterday by
Nine. lie Verrier at the Vanderbilt
Hotel. where she is stopping. Among
them is a series of historical dolls
made after many of the worlds most
famous persons. The costumes for
these dolls were made by Doucet, the
Paris dressmaker.
There are Fairy Tales" dolls, which
represent the myriad heroes and he
roines of storyland. Also, there are
fashion dolls. One Of the most appeal
ing sets is that of the Allied soldiers,
which depict each Of the armies asso-
ciated with France. The wife Of the
Governor of Algiers has contributed
a set Of dolls dressed as Arabians. This
represents an Arabian wedding in an
Arabian house.
The support Of the French govern
ment has been given to this enterprise.
A federation has been organized ex-
tending throughout France, and all the
government departments are co-operat-
ing. There will be n yearly competi-
tion in the creating Of new dolls and
toys.

its antipathy.
When members of a party pour
water from hall where they are In

sneaker below, this may be regarded as
fairly indicative as TO how votes iot
women are regarded By this particular
machine. The dousing which miss
Gratia Erickson received at the hands
of some heller attending the Repuoli-
can meeting in the Redmen's Hall last
night is a wholly new development IN
the Eastern war between anti ana SUI
fragist. Neither the open opposition IN
New York State nor the corrupt ring IN
New Jersey has ever treated woman
of the cause with such violence.
Sutfragists said, however. that tne
baptismal act of the unidentified anti

INV of the men in the hall denounced
the action when they learned of it, and
several of them were indignant enough

incident is significant. nevertheless.
With machine politics against them,
the suffrage cause in Pennsylyania Is
more crippled than it was in New Jer-
sew. through the fact that none OF the
party's watchers will be allowed at
the polls on Elect on Day. After the
passage of the bill granting the rel
erendum adherents of the cause made
an endeavor to force through another
measure. granting their party watchers
