 Peggy herself, before starting out in answer to that summons, was still somewhat uneasy in mind over recent events. So she left word with her father to call for her not later than eleven o'clock.
 But more than Dan O'Mara called for his daughter that night, for ten minutes after her departure from the cottage Margery Golden's limousine drew up at the door. Margery's eyes widened when O'Mara explained the reason of his daughters absence from home.
 But an artist like Frank Aimick would never be able to work at night" " she argued, with growing alarm. He must have daylight for working in color"
 Dan O'Mara turned to the table at his side.
 Here's his message, plain as day, written in his OWE handwritin'," was the puzzled workman's only explana- ton.
 Margery took the message in her hand and studied it. Then her color faded a little.
 That is not Frank Aimick's writ ing," she suddenly announced.
 we must get to that studio as fast as my car can carry us.
 Peggy O'Mara, in the meantime, was being confronted by more than one surprise. The first came with her arrival at the Aimick studio, when the stranger who opened the door in response to her knock informed her that the artist was out, but would re- turn in a minute or two. The sec ond came with the quiet movement of yet another man who sidled up to the studio door and promptly locked and barred it. But the greatest sur prise of all awaited her as she turned

 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 a pris- oner, caught up a lockwood 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 a painted gunman.
 Out from behind that tattered can vas had emerged a man wearing 8 yellow mask. tossing to one side a slender blowpipe as he came. Before he could regain his feet after that huT- ried leap from the mantel shelf, Legar himself had dropped the fire tongs and HuIppeu d TeNOlNSI AAOAh HE pOShSi- This he leveled directly at the body of the Laughing Mask. But before he could pull the trigger, Peggy's tabouret struck against his out stretched arm, knocking the weapon up in tho air.
 By this time the Laughing Mask was up on his feet, and face to face with his enemy. Before the revolver could again be brought into play tho two had clenched. Then the Iron Claw went down before clean-cut blow from his opponent. He recovered him. self sufficiently, however, to roll to where his fallen revolver lay. But before he could level that firearm at his adversary the Laughing Mask, re- membering that even the officers ot the law were no longer his friends, dived out through the small door at the rear of the studio and disappeared from sight, for already the sound of O'Mara and his rescuing party could be heard as they swarmed up the stairs.
 The Iron Claw himself heard those sounds. draw himself together, and

frora 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 wratbfully 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 the 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 a hand to his shoulder. and turned about. There was a look of mingled wonder and incredulity on his face. Then he slowly drew from the fieshy part of his upper arm small steel dart, little bigger than knitting needle.
 Tho pax4 moment a cacond man moving across the room to catch up 8 curtain cord with which to tie the captured girl. felt a sudden sting in his hip. stopped abruptly and point cd 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 rifle, as he did so, shot still another dart which buried itself in his neck.
 "Th' darts,' he mumbled. as thick ly as a drunken man might. Tn 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 9 divan, felt a sharp pain above his shoulderblade, turned about, and saw Legar run across the room and catch up the heavy brass fire tongs from be side the mantel end.

 The Corridors of Bread.
 Margery Golden, as she sat in the texicab which carried her homeward, was comforted by the thought that she had at least saved the fife Of a factory girl to whom she stood indebted for her own escape from death. The further thought that she had sent Dan O'Mara and his exhausted daughter safely home in her own luxurious limousine even reconciled her to the somewhat stuffy-aired public convey ance in which she found herself She LiiEked neditativeiy out at the back Of the heavy faced driver so suileuiy and yet SC adroitly plotting her through the tangle of traffic. Then the abstraction suddenly went from her eyes and the Estlessness from her pose. For. from the back window of the red-wheeled taxicab immediately ih front Of her she caught sight of a pecring face. And it took no second glance to tell her that it was the deep-seared face of the Iron Claw him self.
 The next moment MargeTy was shouting to her sullen-faced driver.

 Soon they had left the city well be- hind them and were in that twilight zone which is neither quite rural nor quite urban.

Stubble cane needs a fertilizer high
in nitrogen to give it a good start.
Cotton seed meal is recommended at
the rate Of 800 pounds to the acre.
Stubble which has been banked
against frost should be barred Off and
the crowns of last year uncovered and

piled before the barred burrows are
filed, and it will be ready to use
when the roots begin to grow.
Where canes are to be planted cut
them in four or five joint lengths.
Rows should be six to eight feet apart,
according to G. K. McQuarrie. state
agent for the University Of Florida
extension division. Plant the canes
in burrows about six to eight inches
deep and lap them a little to insure a
better stand. Canes should be COW
cred slightly, barely enough to give

1t is possible to produce hogs in
South Carolina at a cost varying from
three to five cents per pound, when
they are grown and fattened on a
good pasture and a limited mount of
dollar corn. There are two very I'M
portant essentials to consider in the
production of hogs for profit. First,
pasture and forage crops; second,
breeding stock.
Pasture and Forage Crops.
The permanent pasture Is essential
and should be OF good size. Bermuda
and bur clover as a permanent pasture
cannot be surpassed. A mixture of
one-half bushel Italian rye grass, one
half bushels OF tall meadow oat grass,
one-half bushel orahard grass and Is
pounds Mammoth clover will also pro-
duce excellent grazing. Either of
these mixtures will furnish grazing
practically II months In the year and
will give absolute satisfaction In
many sections of the state. The follow
ing rotation Of forage crops will go
hand In hand with the above perma-
nent pastures in the production of
cheap pork:
Lot /. Plow and plant in corn May l
and broadcast one bushel cowpeas
after last cultivation. Hog this down
in the fall and plow remnants Of crop
under and put into winter pasture of
oats, y and hairy vetch. sowing this
mixture about September l.
Lot 2. Plant one-half bushel each of
early varieties of cowpeas and SOY
beans IN rows two feet apart and culti-
Vate. This lot may be divided with
temporary fence so as to pasture sep
arately. Turn the hogs in and after
eating Off follow in the fall with a
crop of rape, drilled in rows two feet
apart at a rate of four pounds per acre
and broadcast about fifteen pounds of
crimson clover. These crops should
be put in in September and will afford
~pasturage during the winter months.
Lot 3. Plant three pecks of peanuts
pei acre in July. drilling them in Il
inches apart in rows ~ feet apart and
cultivate. After being hogged down
follow with a winter pasture OF oats,
rye and vetch.

HIDES HUBBY'S FALSE TEETH
Pittsburgh Man Swears That Was the
Method Wife Used to
Get Money.

Pittsburgh, Pat behoeves all
married tightwads who wear false
teeth to beware. Often the subject of
ridicule, artificial teeth have at last
been found to serve a practical pur-
pose in domestic life.
Frank Jefferson in divorce court told
a narrowing story of the manner in
which his wife had frequently forced
him to come across with money by
the simple expedient Of taking his
false teeth and hiding them.
The odd thing, to Jefferson's way of
thinking, was that even when he
waxed angry his wife would refuse to
return his teeth. Only Uncle Sans
coin of the realm would persuade her
that her husbands molars were essen
tfal and necessary to his daily exist
ence.
