A party of motorists touring from

with burst tire on one of the hilliest,
toughest, narrowest and most winding

While the spare wheel was being fixed

When Demon OF lIi-luck Inter

Chicago Joseph Macaluso died In
a Chicago hospital a few days ago,
and he died without understanding the
world. Several months ago Macaluso
sat in his squalid home in the metrpp-

bitterness that filled his heart. He
was dying then, and he cried out to
a visitor: Why should they do this

The man who couldn't understand

Hoped to Make Fortune.
Macaluso had come to America with
a wife and dreams of fortune. He
had worked and succeeded, saving a
little of the money he made each
month, investing it in store. He was
a laborer with ambitions. Things were
looking rosy.
America tell you there is no
country like it," Macaluso used to
say.
Then one day two men with
United States badges came and ar
rested him. He was wanted in Italy
for the murder of a boy. Macaluso,
unable to believe what had happened,
pleaded and fought in vain. He was

They tore him from his home and
family and left them to shift for them

Macaluso was being detained in an
Italian dungeon awaiting trial his wife
sold the furniture they had bought in
the happy years.
For one year Macaluso waited in a
dark cell, his skin growing yellow, his
eyes black and lustrous with the fever
that was eating into his strength. For

THE ACCUSING WRATH
By ADRIAN c. HOWARD.

Copyright. 1914. by W. G. Chapman
Crash-thudi
A crouching form had arisen
stealthily from among the thick I'M
derbrush surrounding lone log cabin.
Ii held a light. In its fare, leaning
over a table preparing his homely
meal, the occupant could be plainly
seen by the lurker, who, lifting his
revolver, took steady aim.
The window pane crashed to myr-
lad splinters, the man at the table
went over and down like a shot.
Il never missed yeti" growled out
the lurker. A savage glee was domi-
nant in his strong swarthy face. He
turned from the spot, momentarily
satisfied that he had wrought a meas
ure Of justice-rude, exacting frontier
law.
All day long Greg Davis had hung
around the spot. All day long he had
nursed his fancied wrongs. The flask
at his feet filled with fiery fluid had
fed the dread appetite for blood. Now
the deed was done.
Dan Moffat will never double-cross
another partner" he muttered, and he
tramped on. striving to place forever
behind him an episode that strangely
he fancied, persisted in obscuring all
other thoughts.
With a growl he dashed the flask

There was little solace for him IN
viewing the new comfort and JOY OF
the old couple, for was he not the
murderer of their missing son? Still.
he persevered in what he called resti-
tuition. Dark and gloomy was his life.
Then the daughter, Alma, came home,
and then in a short while Greg Davis
knew that fate had yet to award to
him the severest blow Of all. for
love, strange to him before, intense,
almost feverish, now possessed his
lonely, longing soul.

Alma said to him more than once,
gratitude flooding her eyes.

Then one afternoon he proceeded to

of the place, sat down on a bench
and drew out a revolver. It was the

fateful night against his partner.

"Oh, Mr.. Brown!"-under this name

Such news. such glorious news! The

Astare, Greg Davis eyes roved over
the letter she placed before him. His
dazed brain could scarcely take in Its
contents. It told of a partner mys-
teriously disappeared, Of vain search.
It told how Moffat, in order to sur.
prise him had pre-empted the new
claim in Davis name, and in his hot
haste Davis had not paused to ascer-
tain that fact. The writer feared that
some enemy had killed Davis, for his
own life had been attempted, but the
bullet had glanced from bone, mere
ly stunning him. So, the headlines
Davis had seen in the newspaper had
alluded to some other crime.
Amid his relief, his Joy at learn

Nature appeared to have a thousand
voices:

The chorus rang forth remorseless-
ly. His fugitive course broke into a
run, until at length, miles and miles
away from the scene Of his crime,
Greg Davis sank to the ground and
slept the sodden sleep Of exhaustion.
He awoke with a start and sprang
up with a shudder. All nature was
smiling. yet a red mist seemed to OBJ

the mans soul as he recalled what he

Then he tried to justify himself.
Together they had found a famous
claim. 1t was remote, and quick as
they got back to civilization, it was
agreed that together they should go
and make good their presumption,
meantime keeping its discovery

to the cabin. Davis had gone away
for a week to settle an old lawsuit.
Returning homewards, he had stopped

1t all, however, there seemed to be

times he swept his weary hand across
