my fingers.

His lips touched mine, and l heard
him whisper a word of endearment.

He crept back silently, and I was
left alone On the great rock, gazing
out anxiously into the gray morning.

Worried the Boss.

along in front of the bar parallel with
me and asked me how I could act that
way and If he hadn't been a good fell
low when he had 1t. | never knew him
when he had it. Well, anyway, he
pleaded, demanded and talked about
that dollar until one o'clock, in the
morning. When I started home he
started after me.
"Up at the corner he asked me,
throwing his arms out wide, if / real
lied that there was one above looking
down on me and watching what l was
going to do about the dollar.

didn't have a cent in my pocket, but I

him If he would let me have q quarter.
He gave 1t to me and l gave 1t to that
blockhead and told him that If I ever
saw his face again I would knock him
from under it. l bid him good-by for
ever In this life"
The boss paused.
"Wellw was the natural inquiry,
"what happened todayT"
The boss Missed through his teeth.
"He came in and asked me for the
seventy-five cents l owed him."

FOREST DESTROYED BY FIRE
Pride of Late King George of Greece
Reduced to Ashes-Played Large,
Part in History.

The wonderful forest of Tatoi, the
pride of the late King George Of
Greece, was destroyed when fire re-
duced to ashes the summer residence
of his son King Constantine. The
tens of thousands of dollars spent in
c%ultivating a tlourishing pine wood, as
an example of what might be done
with forestry in barren Attica, have
been burned up as completely as if the
banknotes themselves had been thrown
in the fire.
Tatoi played a large part in the his
tory of Greece. Here the Spartans
established themselves in Alb B. C. to
cut off the supply of grain and food
stuffs bound into Athens from Eubea,
with the purpose of starving out the
Athenian population. And in 404 B. c.,
while Lysander blockaded Athens and
the Pireus by sea, the Spartans de-
scended from the vicinity of Tatoi, at
tackled and forced the capitulation of
Athens, ending the Peloponnesian war.
The burned forest, labOriously planted
and protected, was considered to be a
memorial to the past greatness of
Greece.

FISH PUTS UP BIG FIGHT
Gave Kansas Man a Sore Face In the
Melee and Then Got
Away.

Salina, Kan.-E. A. Hillman of Wa
keeney has a sore face, caused by a
tussel with a large catfish which he at
tempted to catch with his hands while
swimming.
The fish was seer under a log at
the edge Of the creek, apparently
asleep. Hillman slipped his hands
along the side of the fish and had al
most closed his fingers through the
gills when his t1shship came to life
and jumped for liberty.
1t struck Hillman such a blow in
the face that he was thrown backward
and his face badly lacerated and then
escaped.

CHAPTER xxlv-contlnued.

| cannot describe my feelings-Joy,
sorrow, memory of the past over
'whelming me. My eyes were wet with
tears, and could find no words. DAT

made no effort to speak, merely hold

THE future, we followed the savages
through the black night along the dim
trail. For the time l forgot where |
was, my weird, CHASTITY surroundings,
the purpose of our stealthy advance,
and remembered only my father, and
the scene of childhood. He must
have comprehended, for he made no
attempt to interrupt my ~reverie, and
his silence drew me closer-the steady
pressure Of his arm brought me peace.
Suddenly before us doomed the shad-

The two clambered up noiselessly,
and outstretched themselves on the fiat
surface above. The dawn frightened,
almost imperceptibly, so l could dis
tinguish the savage forms on either
side, some standing, some squatting on
THE grass, all motionless but alert,

Before us was a narrow opening,
devoid of vegetation, a sterile patch of
stone and sand, aad beyond this a
fringe of trees, matted with under
brush below so as to make good screen,
but sufficiently thinned out above, so
that, from our elevation, we could look
through the interlaced branches across
the cleared space where the timber had
been chopped away to the palisades of
the fort. The first space was filed
with warriors, crouching behind the
cover of underbrush. Most of these
were lying down, or upon their knees,
watchfully peering through toward the

Circumstances.

Comes Back Next Day and De-
mands Remainder Of Dollar.

New York.-The hurried gathering
to and fro of a squeaky swinging door
and the gentle thud of an actor en-
route from the bar to the pavement
are sounds not unusual on, In and
around Broadway-especially If 1t is
a bad actor. The other day, however,
an assisted exit was surrounded by
such violent circumstances that a
rather large audience gathered.
In this case the door was removed
entirely, the actor went further, landed
harder and bounded higher than usual
and the remarks of the sole owner of
the premises were nothing short of ex-
quisite in their variety and intensity.
Violence Ensued.
Inquiry within the damp room
brought forth 40 satisfactory explana-
ton. The customers had noticed a
w~eIl-dressed young man walk over to
the wne and say about five words to
him. Then the violence which ended
with the young mans excursion out in
to the open began. This being so,
there was nothing to do but to ask the
boss about the mystery. He was ap-
preached as he sat having his shoes
shined as if in an effort to begin life
anew after a moment of horror. He
told all-freely.
Last night" he said, in a totally IN
conscious imitation of Lew Fields,
'that actor came in here and began
acting. He said he had just come
back from the West and that he was
as flat as a cookie and needed a dollar.
I told him I needed a dollar. | told him

seemed to grasp vaguely the face Of

AUGUSTANA TO MEET
HEDDING TEAM HERE

Augustana basketball team will take
on Hedding for the second time this
year, the two rivals meeting tonight at
the college gym. Last night Hedding
walloped st. Ambrose in Davenport by
a 35 to II count. AS COnrads men
beat Hedding several weeks ago at
Abingdon Al to 81 it looks as though
the local tossers have an edge on their
rivals across the river. Following the
defeat at the hands of William and
Vashti, Coach Conrad has put his men
through stiff workout during the
week, and the local squad is out to
hand a second defeat to Hedding.
The PhrenoAdelphic society of Aug
ustana college held a carnival last
night at the college gym. the affair be-
ing arranged to welcome the new
students. The college band was on
hand and dispersed music and several
quartets sang and speeches were
heard. Several hundred attended the
session.
