Why pay two prices for anything
and go 80 or 40 miles when you have
just as good or better right at home
for less than one half the money?
Owing to the temporary depression
in the price of horses, l am going
to stand Kentucky Gentleman at the
extremely low price of $500 to in
sure a live colt. Did you ever have
a chance like that before? Just think
of it-when horses of his class usu-
ally stand at $50 to $50.
For size, style, action, conforma-
ton and breeding, you cannot beat
him in the state. He is transmitting
these qualities to his colts. Why
not take advantage of this great OPP
pOrtunity?
Almost everyone predicts that the
price of horses will be higher within
the next two years than ever before.

There is no doubt about Voltaire
being the best breeding as well as the
best bred big horse in the county and
possibly in the State. Each time he
has been shown he has easily won
first premium and his colts have won
first every year they have been shown.
There has been more demand for big
horses within the last year than was
ever known before. Quite a good
many farmers have almost stopped
raising horses and that is sure to
make a demand for them. Nearly
every farm paper you see advises the
farmer to raise bigger and better
horses. 1 think right now is the
farmers opportunity. Bring your
good mares to Voltaire and you are
sure to get good colt. He will
make the season at my farm, one
mile from Stanford on the Danville
pike at $500 to insure a living
colt. Money due when colt is foaled.

higher to the small window and
promptly broke it in.
Marley, rousirg himself at the
sharp sound of the. breaking glass,
turned about to behold the face of
narrow-eyed and dark-skinned stranger
in the square of light about him. Even
as he stared up at this exotic face
with it's uncanny fringe of jet black
hair he saw the unknown intruder
draw a slender tube from under his
coat. To this tube the stranger fitted
small arrow scarcely longer than
darning needle. Then. placing the tube
to his mouth, he sent the slender dart
whistling down through the air, where
it fixed itself in the wooden flooring
not three inches from Margery Gold
ems head.
Instinctively, as Marley witnessed
that incomprehensible attack, as he
vaguely awoke to the meaning of the
strange performance, he crawled to
the girls side. There he tried to
shield her helpless body with his own.
But after that he remembered little.
He awakened later to the sound of
a woman's soft sobs close beside his
aching head. And he knew, even be-
fore she spoke, that it was Margery

When that somewhat bewildered

of paper which he held in his hand.
"Who threw this note on my bed?"

The Creeping Message.

David Manley, Tor all the pred1ca'
ment confronting him, tried to school
himself to calmness-
Close beside him, bound and gagged
like himself, he could feel the inert
body of Margery Golden.
But what most disturbed him was
the gas jet that stood out from the
green-papered wall high above his
head. That had been the finishing
touch at the hands of his enemies.
He looked carefully about the room
point by point. 1t was nothing but a
commonplace bathroom, with a door
on one side and a small window high
up in the wall on the opposite side
He found nothing, in that methodio
inventory of his surroundings, to re
vive the slowly dying embers of hope
He could neither move nor call out
But there was still wy of sending
a message out to the world
He worked and floundered about un
til he was in a sitting position. Then
he worked his way closer to the
enamel bathtub, leaning, painting and
helpless over its edge, for a moment
or two, as drunken man leans over a
cell cot. Then energy again revived
in him. He slowly and painfully edged
further and further over into the bath.
tub, like a cut worm rounding leaf
edge, until with his forehead he was
able to push and bunt the loose drain
plug into its socket. Then, once more
Withdrawing from the bathtub, he di.
rected his attention to the nearer OF
the two taps that stood at it's head
He had the use of neither hand nor
foot, to turn that tap. But by the
pressure of his OWE skull against the
furnished brass tap handle he was
finally able to throw the faucet open.
Then he sank YEARLY back to the
floor, for his head was swimming dig
lilly and bands of steel seemed con.
stricting his chest.
He lay there watching as the water
from the overlooking tub trickled to
the floor, pooled in the worn undula
tons of the boards, and crawled on
again, in search of some avenue of es-
cape. And he watched it as it moved,
FIR on it's sinuous back, he remem-
bered, it carried his message of deliv-
erance, his hope of life. Finding an
unused ventilator flue, the water foun-
tanned joyously down on the head of
long-haired artist hard at work on
canvas.
That artist, after speechlessly con-
templating the deluge, ran shouting to
the hallway, where he was Joined by
his model and by fellow artists from
neighboring studios.
When they found their investiga-
tons barred by a locked door, they
broke it in. While they were shifting
suspiciously about the outer room,
however, their efforts to reach the
source of that deluge were being an
ticipated by more stealthy figure,

covery. This was that q ponderous
and brawny-armed woman, advancing
with elephantine lurches along the
half-lighted hallway, was shouting out
shrill calls of warning as she came.
Manley for one brief second nursed
the delusion that those warnings were
intended for his own ear. 1t was not
until the huge and slatternly figure
flung itself upon his still crouching
shoulders that he awakened to the fact
that he was being attacked, the
startled eavesdropper found himself
flung bodily through the suddenly
opened door, even before he could
draw his revolver. For he knew now
beyond doubt that he was in the terri
tory of the enemy. He knew that still
another trap had been set for the I'M
wary. He knew it. even before he
caught sight of Legar himself and
Margery Golden shrinking close to the
wall at his side.
1t was on Legar that he fixed his
eye as he whipped out his firearm and
steadied himself with one hand
against the broken wall.
Legar saw that revolver leveled at

ley's colorless face. He knew what
was coming.
He did not stop to argue; he did
not even turn to fee. But as he stood
there, with his deep-set eyes liked on
Manley's face, his long right arm that
terminated in it's claw of iron shot
out and caught at the arm of the girl
still crouching so close to the wall be-
side him. But even quicker was Man
ley's discovery of Legar's intentions
to swing the body of the giri about
in front of his own as a human
shield. And Manley, while the path
was still clear, leveled his gun and
hred.
There was a shout, half of horror
and half of rage, as Legar went down
in heap, his wooden arm-end thump-
ing on the rough flooring like a mall
let as he fell. And at the same mo-
ment that the brawny-armed amazon
boldly struck Manley's right arm up
towards the ceiling, that startled band
of Legar's followers united in a rush
for the assailant of their leader and
chief.
in the first two minutes of that al.
together hopeless struggle Manley had
lost both his gun and his coat In the
next minute he had lost his breath.
In the next his liberty itself was gone
for those worthless lost no time in tying
and trusting him up as neatly as
French chef trusses a capon. AS
he was rudely backed away to where
Margery Golden, equally corded and
tied, already stood, he heard one OF
the men behind him speak.
