CHAPTER v.
The Girl In the Gage.

l sprang to the cage wherein was
confined the loveliest woman l had
ever seen. And l sought, madly, with
my bare hands, to tear away the
thick wooden bars.
Who are your" l asked, while thus
engaged. What are you doing here %
They have held me here for two
years, she cried. And then, in pitt
ful duplication, she entreated me to
release her.
But the two madmen now leaped on
me to drag me away. l fought like a
demon. But the negro's spear drew
blood in two places in my back and
l was obliged to yield to THIS "supe-
nor" force
The girls arms-beautitully round
ed, bare arms-were outfiung through
the bars and she ceased not to implore
me to save her. But they dragged me
roughly away.
The vision of that imprisoned young
woman remained before my eyes even
after they forced me into the scien-
usts hut.
l wondered, of course, how she came
to be there. And l questioned The
mad scientist about her.
She's my very finest specimen.
Was all he would say concerning her
You shall see more of her presently

EXCELLENT TEA PUNCH
SPECIAL BEVERAGE FOR WARM
DAYS OF SUMNER.
Alcoholic Addition May Be Omitted H
II Is Not Desired-Grape Cooler
That Is Highly Recommended
by Connoisseurs.

Tea began as medicine and grew
into a beverage as its good qualities
became famous.
In China, in the eighteenth century,
it entered the realm of poetry, and
still earlier in Japan it formed this
excuse for a religious cult most ea
thetic, called "Teaism."
The beverage tempers the spirits

tigue, refreshes the body and clears
the perceptive faculties.
Samuel Johnson draws his own por,
trait as hardened and shameless tea
drinker, who, for twenty years. diluted
his meals with only the infusion of the
fascinating plant; who with tea
amused the evenings, with tea solaced
the midnight and with tea welcomed
the morning"
Tea has not the arrogance Of wine,
the self-consCiousness of coffee or the
simpering innocence of cocoa, but has
a charm of taste irresistible, and ca.
pable of an idealization all its own.
Meantime let us have our cup of
afternoon tea. The sun is setting. and
the whisper of the night wind is heard
in our teakettle; for the half-hour be.

linger and dwell on events of the day
past and the beautiful foolishness of
things"
For early summer, when the hot tea

IS always glad to know of new ways
of serving cold drinks, we will pass
this recipe for one OF the most de-
lightful of tea punches.
It's name even is suggestive of cool
comfort, and after testing it one will
be sure that 1t is most appropriate.
Honskong CooIer-Pour one quart
of boiling water over three Tablespoons
fuls Of Ceylon tea. Let steep four or
five minutes, strain and cool adding
four tablespoonfuIs of sugar, three
slices of lemon. two cloves and four
maraschino cherries.
When ready to serve, pour into tall
glasses half full of shaved ice and add
a dash of Jamaica rum to each glass.
placing a spray of mint that has been
dipped first into iced water, then into
powdered sugar. A strip of candied
orange peel may be added and three
tablespoonful of pineapple, if one
wants to make the punch more elabo-
rate and complicated in appearance.
Grape CooIer-Remove the segments
from one large grapefruit, chill one
quart bottle of grape juice; place the
fruit on cracked ice in the punch bowl.
add the grape juice and sugar tc taste.
Lastly pour over it a bottle of spar
king water and serve.

at the stream and scooped VI some
water in the hollow of my hands for

happiness was-the girl herself. l,
John Gaunt, had been able to rescue
this splendid creature from captivity
in most terrible form. And loved
her. loved her with a love that would
never die. loved her beyond all hui
man understanding.
Cant we rest here awhile?" she
asked, pleadingly Surely we are safe
from that awful old man and his black
man-now."
Yes. and while we rest" l said.

Her hair streamed down over her
exquisitely formed shoulders black,

how she managed to keep It n such
splendid condition-so much of it--I
could not then even guess.
NO" she said Tell me nrst about
yourself How came you to be at the
mercy of that dreadful old man."
l told her-told her my story from
the start to that present moment. And
then she volunteered the facts con-
corning her own sad plight.
MY father" she said was a ship
owner. We lived in Norfolk, Virginia
Ny father met with financial losses and
was at last reduced to the ownership
Of but one vessel-a fine sailing ship.
To save money. too. he decided now
that he would go to sea as the captain
Of his own vessel. instead of hiring
master as he had always done hith-
erto.
Father, l said, when he was pre-
pairing for his last voyage, won't you
take me with your
He at last reluctantly consented,
saying:
Since you are all have in the
world-you and my ship-yes, l will
take you.
And so we sailed out OF Norfolk
on that fatal voyage. My father was
now happy because l was on board

Before classifying you l will first

scientist said. addressing me now with
so little evidence of insanity in his
outward bearing that could scarcely
believe that he was really mad. 1t

hut and toward the row of wooden
cages

These cages contained live wild ami

Yes, the specimen" in that roughly
built cage was indeed woman-more
beautiful than even the dreams of
men can conceive human loneliness to
be. Oh, my God! 1t was pitiful!

RAGE HORSES
Are Brought Here from Fair
mont Race Track by the
Street Car Company.

Twelve carloads of race horses have
been transported from the fair grounds
at Fairmont to the fair grounds here
since the close of the Fairmont racing
last Friday. The horses averaged five
to the car, which made a fair sized
load. considering the fact that the
bikes and traps were hauled with the
animals.
The traction company handled the
business without mishap and horse
men declared that the track to track
shipment at the rate charged was the
most satisfactory transportation they
nave had this season.
The company now has in operation a
large number of freight cars and the
crews loaded the horses just as fast as
they could be led to the cars. The trip
from Fairmont was made on passenger
schedule and the horses were in the
Clarksburg stalls in less than two
hours from the time they left the
Fairn1ont track.
