WHERE DEATH Turks ALWAYS

a warren of trenches, dugouts, saps,
tunnels. underground passages, inhab-

CHAPTER VII.

Meanwhile the man on the steps of
the last car Of the Chicago Limited
was having his doubts about whether
he ought to have boarded that train. He
realized that the fat traveller who was
hurting himself after the train had
had been only half formed before and
he had obeyed 1t. Perhaps he was fol-
lowing q wrong scent and would lose
the reward which he knew was his IL he
Brought the thief OF the underwriting,
dead or alive. to his employer. He was
half inclined to Jump off again now be-
fore 1t was too late; but looking down
he saw they were already speeding over
a network OF tracks. and trains were
flying by in every direction. BY the time
they were out Of this the speed would
be too great for him to attempt a
jump. 1t RAJ even now risky. and he
was heavy for, athletics. He must do II
at once IL he did 1t at all.
He looked ahead tentatively to see II
the track IN which he must jump was
clear, and the great eye Of an engine
stabbed him In the face. as II bore
down upon him. The next instant 1t
swept by, its hot breath tanning his
cheek, and he drew back ~shuddering In
voluntarily. 1t was OF no use. He could
not jump here. Perhaps they would
slow up or stop. and anyway, should
he jump or stay on board2 -.
He sat down on the upper step the
better to get the situation in hand. Per-
haps in q minute more the way would
be clearer to jump off IL he decided not
to go, on. Thus he vacillated. 1t was
rather unlike him not to know his own
mind. -. ....
1t seemed as If there must be some
thing here to follow, and yet, perhaps
he was mistaken. He IA been h first

had seen the man get into the cab that
stood almost in front OF the house. He
had lost no time in getting into his own
car which was detailed for such an
emergency, and in signalling h officer
on a motor cycle who was also ready
for q quick call. The carriage had bare
ly turned the corner when they fol-
lowed, there was no other OF the kind
in sight either way but that. and he
had followed II closely. I must have
been the right carriage. And YET. when

TOO KEEN ON THEIR SPORT
Anglers Would Have Done Better to
Have Read the Other Side Of the
Notice Board.

The disciples of Izaak Walton had
found q perfect stream for the exercise
of their art, and they settled them
selves for n days fishing, underterred
by q notice board. The board, which
had been painted by an amateur, read
"Notiss-These grounds is priyet,
and yer carn't fish ere. These fish
amt the kind to be tempted by
wurms, and there
Here space a out, and the injunc-
ton was left uncompleted. For two
hours the anglers sat by the stream,
tempting the trout, not with worms,
but with the very latest and most ex
pcnsive bait"
But nothing happened. Then sud-
denly appeared the owner of the
grounds and the author Of the notice
board. .
Hi, you two! Ave yer read that
board?" +
"Well, yes, we did. But -. er- we
thought you wouldn't mind, and we
couldn't find your house, or we would

"Oh, it don't matter! 1 on'y thought,
SEEM yer aflshin' there, that you
'adn't read both sides of the board. II

A hasty glance at the other side Of
the board showed that It continued the

IN Texas the homestead law is an insu
