 A sharp whisper reached his ears. Come here-quick !"
 He floundered through the brush and almost fell prostrate over the kneel- | ing figure of man.
 "Take care, Lend hand" whis- pered Sprouse.
 Dropping to his knees, Barnes felt for and touched wet, coarse garments and gasped
 My God. Have you killed him?"
 Temporarily" said Sprouse, be- tween his teeth. Here, unwind the rope I've got around my waist. Take | the end-here. Got a knife? Cut off q section about three feet long, I'll l get the gag in his mouth while you're doing it. Hangmen always carry their own ropes," he concluded, with grew some humor. "Got it cut? Well. cut two more sections, same length" With incredible sWiftness the two of them bound the feet, knees and arms of the inert victim.
 II came prepared" said Sprouse, so calmly that Barnes marveled at the iron nerve of the man.
 By heaven, Sprouse, IT believe he's dead. We've haven't any right to kill a."
 Don't be flnicky,' snapped Sprouse. Tt wasn't much of a crack, and it was necessary" Strengthening up, with a sigh of satisfaction. he laid his hand on Barnes shoulder. We've just got to go through with it now, Barnes. We'll never get another chance, Putting that fellow out of business Queers us forever afteIward." He dropped to his knees and began searching over the ground with his hands. Here it is. You can't see it, of course, so I'll tell you what it is. A nice little block of sandalwood. I've already got his nice little hammer, so we'll see what we can raise in the way of wireless chit-chat"
 Without the slightest hesitation he struck q succession of quick. confident blows upon the block of wood.
 By gad, you are q wonder!"
 Wait til tomorrow before you say that" replied Sprouse. sententiously. Come along now. Stick to the trail. We've got to land the other one"
 Turning sharply to the right, Sprouse guided his companion through the brush for some distance, and once moro came 10 halt. Again he stole on ahead, and as before the slow. con- tdent, even careless progress of man ceased as abruptly as that of the comrade who lay helpless in the thieket below.
 FarncS laid firm, detaining hand on the mans shoulder. 'See here, Sprouse," he whispered. tits all very well for you, Knocking men over like this, but just what is your object? What does all this lead IF to?'
 Sprouse broke in, and there WAS not the slightest trace of emotion in his whisper.
 Quite right. You ought tc know. l suppose you thought I was bringing 1 you up here for Romeo and Juliet tete-n-tetc with the beautiful Miss 1 Cameron and for nothing else. Well,

 Hello. How are you this morn ing?"
 ''Grievously lonesome" replied Barnes. and wound up q doleful ac- count of himself by imploring ODowd to save his life by bringing the entire Green Fancy party over to dinner that night.
 O'Dowd was heart-broken. Person ally he would go to any extreme to save so valuable il life, but as for the rest of the party. they begged him to say they were sorry to hear of the eX pected death of so promising a chap and that, while they couldn't come to his party they would be delighted to come 10 his funeral. In short, it would be impossible for them to accept his kind invitation. The Irishman was so gay and good-humored that Barnes took hope. -

Russia and o.dering Gen. RoZanof not
to move his troops from Vladivostok,
and even to use extreme measures in
order to keep them here.
The allies have communicated direct
with Admiral kolchak explaining
the local situation. believing that the
Omsk government has not been cor

kolchak's orders to Rozanoff were
influenced by exaggerated reports
sent by Rozanoff misrepresenting the

The newspapers are bitter in crit
