when you get a good musician and
good fiddle together it's day for a
salute of a hundred guns"
Half dazed with unregulated emo
ton, Jethro acted with indecision for
a moment, and the fiddle was safe.
But he had suffered the indignity of
being flung like bag of bones across
the room, and the mirrobe of insane
revenge was in him. 1t was not to be
killed by the cold humor of the man
who had worsted him. He returned to
the attack.
Ingolby's eyes became hard and
merciless again. Don't talk your gyp-
sy rhetoric. I've had enough. No hour
has come that makes woman do
what she doesn't want to do in free
country. The lady is free to do what
she pleases here within British law.
and the British law takes no heed of
ROmany law or any other law. You II

country or whatever it is. The lady

Romany said huskily and menacingly.

The Camorra would not be more Ger

YOU know it. The Romanys don't love

Mr.. Fave" Ingolby said with a grim
smile, That fiddles got too much in it
to waste It,"
"Mi Duvel Mi Duvel"' gasped the
Romany in his fury.
You can say that as much as you
like, but If you play any more of your
monkey tricks here, my Paganini I

turned, his six feet of solid flesh max

And look" he added, "sirce you are
here, and | said what I meant, that Id
help you to get your own, I'll keep my
word. But don't talk in damned rid
dies. Talk white mems language. You
said that Gabriel Druse's daughter was
your wife. Explain what you meant
and no nonsense.
The Romany made a gesture of ac-

River Starzke in the Roumelian coun-
try"
1ngolby WINGED, for the mans words
rang true. A cloud came over his face
but he said nothing. Jethro saw the
momentary advantage. You did not
know" he asked. ''She did not tell
you she was made my wife those years
ago? She did not tell you she was the
daughter of the Romany king? So it is,
you see, she is afraid to tell the
truth"
Ingolby's knitted bulk heavcd with
desire to injure. Your wife-you

play it, and / owe you a lot for that

you, and his daughter least of all. Look
out-don't sit on the fiddle, damn you :"
The Romany had made motion as
if to sit down on the chair where the
fiddle was, but stopped shorts at In
golby's warning. For an instant Jpthro
had an inclination to seize the fiddle and
break it across his knees.

LOVES EYES BLIND TO AGE
When Man and Woman Really Love
Neither Ever Grows Old


Ordinarily, we would cuss to the
limit ''peeper" or an eavesdropper.
But we have confession to make on
the first count, and we would plead
mitigating circumstances. Here is the
story:
On drizzlng foggy night our way
lay down a side street toward home,
Several rods ahead there was a shaft
of light, and when we reached the spot
we found window with the shade half

peeped.
There sat an old man andNhi wife.
They must have been we'll UP to the
allotted three score of years. He was
smoking and she was knitting. Still
we peeped. Then she looked up at him
and smiled and said something. He
laid down book, struggled up from
out of his comfortable seat and kind OF
hobbled out of the room, shortly return
ing and carrying glass of water, which
he handed to her.
And as she drank she held the
wrinkled and bony hand of her lover,
Then as she finished drinking she re-
leased his hand and the look she gave
him and the look. he gave her were like
shafts of sunshine breaking through
the murky clouds after days of rain.
That picture has haunted us a Iona
time. Somehow she seems beautiful in
our eyes, and yet we did not get 9

Miss Golden Hair looked at the
