and again walked round to the Jun
Tor" The short, wintry day had ended,
the gas lamps we're lit and the dark
ness of night was gradually creeping
on.
Jack had not been to the club, and
began now to grow thoroughly uneasy.
He had parted from me at the corner
of the Strand with only five minutes
walk before him, and yet he had APP
parently disappeared My first impulse
was to drive to Noting Hill to inquire
Of Muriel if she had news of him, but
somehow the Italians warning words
made me wonder if he had met with
foul play.
l suddenly recollected those two
men who had passed by as we had
talked. and how that the features of
one had seemed strangely familiar.
Therefore l took a cab to the police
station down at Whitehall and made
inquiry OF the inspector on duty in
the big, bare office with its faring
to the end, then turning back the book
of Occurrences" before him, glanced
through the ruled entries.
Il should think this is the gentle
man, SIR" he said. And he read to
me the entry as follows:
p. c. 462A reports that at 2:07 a. m.
while on duty outside the National Gal
iery, he heard a revolver shot, followed
by mans cry. He ran to the corner of
Suffolk street, where he found a gentle
man lying upon the pavement suffering
from a serious shot-wound in the chest
and quite unconscious He obtained the
assistance of =. C.'s PISA and 343A. and
the gentleman. who was not identified
was taken to the Charing Cross hospital

round to the hospital in the cab, and
was, five minutes later, taken along

an hour ago." whispered the sister

CHAPTER XVI.
The Truth About the Lola.

Throughout the long night | called
many times at the hospital, but the
reply was always the same Jack had
not regained consciousness, and the
doctor regarded his case as hopeless.
| In the morning | drove in hot haste
| TO Bassett road, Noting Hill, and at
the address Olinto had given me found
Muriel. When she entered the room
with folding doors into which | had
| been shown. l saw that she was pale
and apprehensive, for we had not met
since her flight, and she was, no doubt,
at loss for an explanation. But did
not press her for one. | merely told
her that the Italian Santini had given
me her address and that | came as
bearer of unfortunate news.
What is it?" she gasped quickly.
1T concerns Captain Durnford," l
replied He has been injured in the
street, and is in Charing Cross hospi-
tai"
"Ah!" she cried. Il see. You do
not explain the truth. By your face

He's dead! Tell me the worst"

he may not recover. His wound is
dangerous. He has been shot by some
unknown person.

tears. Then they have followed him,
after all. They have deceived me. and
now, as they intend to take him from
me, will myself protect him. You,
Mr.. Gregg. have been in peril of your
life, that | know, but Jacks enemies
are yours. and they shall not go un.

II fear not, but we will ask at the
some further explanations we took a
hanson back to Charing Cross.
At first the sister refused to allow
Muriel to see the pdGent. but she i'm.
plored so earnestly that at last she
consented. and the distressed girl in
the black coat and hat crept on tip
toe to the bedside,
"He was conscious for quarter Of
an hour or so" whispered the nurse
who sat there, He asked after some
lady named Muriel."
The girl at my side burst into low

The bill emerged from its travail,
With many changes and amendments.
Chief of these, removing the biggest
objection to the original bill. is the
elimination of thu requirement that
the defeated party candidates pledge
themselves to SUPP crt the successful

that candidate, beaten by the vot-

nomination Of any other party, and

Olson presented figures showing the

SOLDIERS PAY HELD UP

PHOENIX, August 21.-Under the ruling of the auditor in refusing to sign warrants for the expense of the national guard, Adjutant-General C. w. Harris says it will have the ef- feet of practically disbanding the guard, unless the banks will cash the certificates issued. Vouchers have been made out for the pay of the members of the guard for the time which they spent in camp at Garden Canyon, but under the ruling of the auditor warrants will not be issued for them. General Harris says that the camp was ordered under the i'm prcssion that the decision of the Stu perior court would not be appealed from, and further alleges that the law has not been changed from what it has always been, under which war rants were issued without any ques- ton.
