Dance Musician.

Amherst, Wis.--John Zen at AM

record for providing music for dances
for he has computed his record of
the past SO years as being 1859 dances
/. record he defies any musician in
America to equal.
His career dates back to January 1e,
1862, when he came with his violin to
Amherst, then village in the heart of
the pine woods. In those days he was
the only musician who could be oh
tanned for miles around, and he was
in constant demand.
His banner year was 1880. when his
record was $50 dances, or an average
of more than one day for the entire
year. Since then the country has set
tied, and he has had moro competI'

In the old days he would not only
play, but would call off the square

If you catch cold easily, it's your liver
IL you wake up with bad taste. furred

liver Is the most important, also the

the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body

resort to violent calomel, which Is a
dangerous, saliyating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be-

with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
plate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible

Limestone phosphate does not re-

turned to an iron gaye IN a high stone
wall crowned with spikes.
The grillework of that gate afforded
glimpses of a small, dark garden and a
little house of two stories. Blank
walls of beetling tenements shouldered
born house and garden on either side.
Unlocking the gate with ready key
Lanyard refastened it very carefully
repeated the business at the front door
of the house, and when they were Sc
curely locked and bolted within dark
reception room, turned on the electric
light
But he granted the girl little more
than time for a fugitive survey of this
anteroom to an establishment OF
unique artistic character.
"Solon's living quarters are down
stairs here" he explained hurriedly
He's unmarried, and lives quite
alone-his studio devil and the woman
who cares for things come in by the
day only-and so he avoids that pest
of Partisan life, the concierge. With
your permission, I'll assign you to the
studio-up here"
And leading the way up narrow
flight of steps, he had made light in
the huge room by the time the girl
joined him.

said. "That divan yonder is as easy
a couch as one could wish-and there's
this door you can lock at the head OF

Bannon-unless there's something else
/ can do"
The girl answered with wan smile
and a little broken sigh. Almost in
voluntarily, in the heaviness of her
fatigue, she had surrendered to the
hospitable arms of huge lounge chair.
Her weary glance ranged the luxuri.
ously appointed studio and returned
to Lanyard's face, and while he waited

Companions.

companions
The enigma of the girl so deeply in
trigued his imagination that it was
only with difficulty that he concocted
noncommittal telegram to ROddy's
acquaintance in the prefecture de po-
lice-that imposing parsonage who had
watched with the man from Scotland
Yard at the platform gates in the Care
du Nord.
1t was couched in English when
eventually composed and submitted to
the telegraph clerk with a fervent, ii
inaudible, prayer that he might be
ignorant Of the tongue.
Come at once to my room at Troy
on's. Enter via adjoining room pre-
pared for immediate action on impor-
tant development. Urgent
"RODDY."
Whether or not this were Greek to
the man behind the wicket in the tele-
graph bureau, it was accepted with
complete indifference-or rather. with
an interest that apparently eyaporated
upon receipt OF the fees. Lanyard
couldn't see that the clerk favored him
with as much as curious glance be-
fore he turned away to lose himself,
to bury his identity finally and forever
under the incognito of the Lone Wolf.
He couldn't have rested without TAX
ing that one step to compass the arrest
of the American assassin; now, with
luck and prompt action on the part OF
the prefecture, he felt sure that ROddy-
would be avenged by M. de Paris. But
it was quite as well that there should
be no clue whereby the author of the
mysterious telegram might be traced.
It was, then, not an ill-pleased Lam
yard who slipped off into the night and
the rain; but his evaporation was
elaborate when the first object that
met his gaze was that wretched fiacre,
back in place before the door, Lucia
Bannon leaning from it's lowered win
dow, the cocner on his box brandtsh-
ing an importunate whip at the adj
venturer.
He barely escaped choking on sup
pressed profanity, and for two sous
would have swung on his heel and
ignored the girl deliberately. But he
didn't dare-close at hand stood SER
geant de vile, inquisitive eyes bright
beneath the dripping vizor of his cap,
keenly welcoming this diversion Of
cherries hour.
With at least outward semblance Of
resignation Lanyard approached the
window.
81 have been guilty of some stupid
ity, perhaps?" he inquired with lip
civility that knew no echo in his heart.
But am sorry"
"The stupidity is mine" the girl In
terrupted in accents tense with agi-
tation. 'Mr. Lanyard, II"
Her voice faltered and broke in
short, dry sob, and she drew back with
an effort Of instructive distaste for
public emotion. Lanyard emothered
an impulse to demand roughly: We'll,
what now?" and came closer to the
window.
There is something else can do.

Awakening.

1t was late afternoon when Lanyard
wakened from sleep so deep and
dreamless that nothing could have in
duced it less potent than sheer sys-
temic exhaustion, at once nervous,
muscular and mental.
A profound and sitting lethargy be-
numbe0 his senses. There was stu.
por in his brain and all his limbs ached
duly. He opened dazed eyes upon
blank darkness. In his ears sounded
a vast silence.
And in that strange moment of awak-
ening he was conscious of no individ,
uality-it was, for the time, as If he
had passed In slumber from one exist
ence to another, sloughing in the
transition all his threetold existence
