Ranlss had sprung upon hes. barney
had loved and lot because he had
loved Q giri beyond bis reach, and 70
his sympathiss went out to this man
who. hs was confident, loved his sister.
One Of the larst things that Barney
tried to impress upon the man was
that he was . pSisones. and. lest he
should escape BY night when Barney
slept, Greystoke ret Terkos to watch
over him.
But M did not seem inclined to
wish TO escape. His one desire appar-
emily was TO master the strange tongue
Of his captors.
For two weeks after he was able to
quit his bed hs devotsd his time to
learning English. Hs had the free
dom Of the ranch, coming and going
40 he pleased. but his weapons were
kept from him, hidden In Lord Grey
stokes study. and Barney. sometimes
with others Of the household, always
accompanied him.
M WAS waiting for Nat-ul.
He was SIRE that she would come
back again to this cave that his new
acquaintances called bungalow. Bar
ney was waiting for the man to men
hon his sister.
One day Curtiss came upon M sit-
ting upon the veranda. Terkoz lay at
his fest. M was clothed In khaki
an old suit Of Greystoke's being the
largest that could be found upon the
place. and that was none too large.
As Curtiss approached the wolf
hound turned his wicked little eyes
upon him, without moving his head
from where 1t lay stretched upon his
forepaws, and growled M extended
booted foot across the beasts neck
to hold him in check.
The hounds show Of hostility an
gered Curtiss. He hated the brute,
and he hated NJ as cordially-just
why he dc not know.
Ee halted in front Of the cave man.
II want to ask you question" he
said coldly. II have been wanting to
do 20 for a long time. but there has
always been some one else around"
M nodded.
what can M tell your he asked.
"You can tell me where Miss Gus
ter is" replied Curtiss.
"Miss Custer7 I do not know what
you mean. never heard of Miss
Custer"
"You Her cried Curtiss, losing con-
troll of himself. Her jacket was found
beneath your head in that foul den Of
yours"
M came slowly to his feet.
"What does Tie mean?" he asked
II do NOT understand all that people
say to me yet, but know much from
the way Of saying, and do not like
your way. Curtiss."

you speak to me remember that I'm

what does lie mean?" persisted
M. "And why should call you mis-
terY do not like the sound Of your
voice, Curtiss."
It was at this moment that Barney
appeared.
The black haired giant stood with
the bristling wolfhound at his side.
The attitude of the man resembled
nothing more closely than that OF a big
black panther tensed for spring. Cur
tiss' hand was reaching for the butt Of
the gun at his hip.

Barney stepped between than.
"What IL the meaning Of thiA Cur

Curtiss had been . warm frjsod for
years-a friend OF civilization and lux

under conditions which gave every
thing that Curtiss wished, and he had

he had been crossed and disappointed.
there had been sides to his character
that had never before presented them

100000 of two per cent. held by the
Riggs bank in the comptroller's custody
to securities circulation came due. The
comptroller, the complaint sets forth,
'wrongfully and unlawfully ordered the
treasurer of the United States to with
hold the payment Of this interest"
In this connection the bill alleges
Mr.. McAdoo had usurped' the powers
Of the treasurer.
Asks for an Injunction.
The bill asks that Mr. Williams be
enjoined from revoking the Riggs des-
ignation as a depositor for the reserves
of other national banks or refusing to
approve 1t as such depositary.
