ana Oafreu IT. DuL LILO greatest sur.
prise of all awaited her as she turned
from the door and saw Legar himself
standing before her.
She stood there, white Tipped, star
ing from one evil face to the other as
Legar's companions closed in about
her.
you're a fine bunch O. cradle
snatchers!" she finally and wrathfully
burst out at them, with the ultimate
and reckless anger Of desperation in
her eyes. You're grand army O.
heroes, you are, to come five strong
agin' a girl like mel"
stop that brat." commanded the
irate Legar. And there was a general
movement in the direction of the blaz-
ing.eyed girl.
There was one man in that group,
however, who did not Join in that
movement. The reason for this lay
In tho fact that at that moment he
happened to be looking up at the paint
ing Of THE Vigilante."
He was about to reach for a heavy
easel-peg, to fling at the canvas, when
he suddenly Strengthened up, clapped
q hand to his shoulder, and turned
about. There was look of mingled
wonder and incredulity on his face.
Then he slowly drew from the feshy
part of his upper arm a small steel
dart, little bigger than . knitting
needle.
The next moment a second man,
moving across the room to catch up a
curtain cord with which to tie the
captured girl. felt sudden sting in
his hip. stopped abruptly and point
ed with a shout of anger toward the
canvas above the mantel.
Still another of Legar's followers,
not realizing the meaning of that cry,
stepped forward and stared at the
painting. Out OF the barrel-end of the
painted rife, as he did so, shot still
another dart which buried itself in mis-
neck.
9TH darts!" he mumbled. as thick
ly as a drunken man might. ''Th
darts re drugged!"
But even before those mumbled
words were spoken the swarthy.
skinned Mauki, trying to hold the still
struggling Peggy O'Mara down on
divan, felt sharp pain above his
shoulderblade, turned about, and saw
Legar run across the room and catch
up the heavy brass IRE tongs from be-
side the mantel end.
The painting" squeaked Mauki,
staggering out against tho model
throne. 1.-THE painting-it is spit
ting steel at us!"
Legar. however, was no longer in
need Of that warning. Standing to
one side Of the mantel, close beside
the wall, he attacked the huge can
vas with his fire-tongs, beating in the
center Of the picture at the same time
that Peggy O'Mara, realizing that
she was no longer being held pris-
oner, caught up a teakwood tabou-
ret and with it precipitated her
self on the preoccupied Legar.
He ignored that flank attack. how
ever, for the Iron Claw suddenly found
himself confronted by figure OF more
importance than either the spindle
legged girl or painted gunman.
Out from behind that tattered can
vas had emerged a man wearing a
yellow mask. tossing to one side a

slender blowpipe as he came. Before
he could regain his feet after that hur-
ried leap from the mantel shelf, Legar
himself had dropped the fire tongs and
whipped a revolver from his pocket.
This he leveled directly at the body
of the Laughing Mask. But before

New Boy Scout Handbook.

The official handbook Of the boy
scout movement. of which it has been
necessary to print a new edition of
100000 copies each year for the past
five years. is being revised. and the
next edition will contain a good deal
of information which will interest boys
in the subject of safety. explaining
how accidents can be avoided and how
to help others avoid them at home, at
school. in shops, In the street. at pub
lie gatherings. etc. 1t is planned to
have certain safety requirements in
~corporated in those which scouts must
meet to advance to higher grades in

primer will be developed, safety ideas
will be presented attractively in Boys

PUNISH TO EDUCATE.
Parents Should Never Act on Impulse
of Moment.


Never punish a child on the impulse
OF the moment. The correcting Of Il lit
tie child is a very serious matter-a
matter to be thought over earnestly
and Or you are the kind that prays)
even prayerfully. Always keep in mind
that true punishment is not revenge:
neither is it v%indication nor retaliation
1T is. or should be, nothing more or
less than education. The time for pun
isllment affords you an invaluable OPP
p%ortunity to teach a %youngster but one
OF the many, many lessons of life it
must learn.
Therefore it is extremely important
that you do not punish a child when
you are angry. In anger you will o
than likely be unjust and also too
severe In anger you are in a fair way
to lose your w respect and the Child s.
See that the punishment fits the fault
and that it has within it the power to
teach the difference between right and
wrong in the particular instance under
consideration.

at his fathers death a large for
tune. This was at the begin
ming Of the nineteenth century. when
the 100000 Jimmie inherited was con-
sidered a gigantic sum. But it was not
to" big for Jimmie to get away with in
Il few years. He spent it in every on
cclvable way. First and foremost, he
was devoted to horses: second, he
dotted on dogs; third. he was fond of
cards; fourth, he was always want
ing to fight ON one. Jimmie veered
between these attractions as Il wealth
ercOck swings between the -four points
OF The compass. BY the bye, this re-
minds Inc that he was also given to
c~orkfightiug.
Well, after Jimmie had run through
all his money he continued to speill
on tick. This lasted till he heard the
bailitfs We're after him. when. in order
to escape them, he enlisted in the cay
airy and was sent to his regiment fight

called the middle west. This gave him

and he figured as a jockey.
There was no reason why Jimmie
Temple should not have continued to
serve indefinitely in the army, where
he was very happy, for he secured a
girl in Baltimore. Miss Belle .Ashurst
was the daughter of d rich man. but
his wealth didn't do her any good. so
far as uniting her to Lieutenant Tenn
pie. for her father had no idea Of per-
hitting his daughter to marry such Il
s~rapegrace. But the lovers pinned for
each other. and Belle was continually
writing Jim to come back. just as if
he could go where he pleased.
SO it was that in time Jim resigned.
and when his resignation was accept

Naturally enough. Jim's creditors

a dozen words before down came the

bethOught himself of another. One
bright morning he and Il deputy
brought a couple of cocks to a vacant
lot beside Jim's hiding place and set
them to fighting. The cocks We're fur
nished with steel spurs. but a spur on
n of the cocks was turned so that
1t was useless to the bird who Wore it.
Jim watched the fight from behind

birds being slaughtered for the lack of

called out: What do you want to
treat q cock that way for: Don't YOU

He got no further. Some n on the
ground beneath the window thrust a

not lower it. and a voice began to read
a legal document. Jim jumped out the
window, knocked the paper out of the
hands of the reader. sent the man who
held the pole Sprawling. in IL jiffy was

sash came down.
One night when he was leaving Miss
Ashursts home he was a~ccosted on the
street by a gentleman. who said to
him:

lady whose father has informed me
that if | Yer enter a gambling house
again it shall be all up between me
and his daughter. Would 0 kindly

The man gave Jim his system. and
Jim was seized with a desire to see
how it worked. He took 800 the man
gave him and suffered himself to be
conducted to Watson's. He had scarce
ly entered the well lighted rooms
when he was bercft of his disguise
and. being recognized. was forced to
listen to the reading of a summons,
for the door was locked behind him.
Jim spent a term in the debtors
prison, which was ended by the death
of his girls father. The day after the
funeral Belle paid her lovers debts.
He was released from the prison and
appeared on the fashionable promo

On the contrary. he appeared to be
