cuses Randolph of having gassed and

blow. In the fight which results Ran
dolph is knocked unconscious by Jack
and Belle secures the Idol. When
Randolph comes to, Belle asks the two
men to shake hands and Randolph
consents but his repentance is not

Then he sends a fake message to Jack
asking him to come to the dance hall.
When he arrives Faro Nell begins to

that Smith will take offence and kill

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and
that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condition
Of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases Of deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an infamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces OF the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine Circulars

ing MIN unconscious. Smith then
mounts Jacks horse to make his es-
cape and a moment later is shot and
killed by Randolph Gordon who mis-
takes him for Jack Randall. When
Randolph comes up to the body and
finds he has killed the wrong man he
conceives a plan to fasten the murder
on Jack. Jack is still lying uncon-
scious from Smiths treacherous blow
and Randolph removes the empty car
tridges from his gun and places it in
Jacks revolver, placing the full car
fridge in his own pistol.
Then Randolph returns to the dance
hall and tells the crowd that Jack has
killed Knockout" Smith. A posse is
formed to capture Jack and punish
him. The posse find Jack, who, by
this time, has recovered consciousness
and is trying to drag himeslf away.
They examine his pistol and finding
the empty cartridge jump at once to
the conclusion that he is guilty and
prepare to lynch him on the spot.
Faro Nell by this time, heartily
ashamed of the part she has played at
Randolph's bidding, hurries to inform
Belle of Jacks danger and together
the two girls ride to the spot where
the lynching is about to take place.
On their way they are intercepted
by Shotwell's bandits and Belle and
Faro Nell become separated. Belle is
pursued by the outlaws and takes
refuge in the abandoned house which
had been used by the Hindus to trap
their Tiger after his escape. AS the
episode ends Belle is in the house
with the bandits battering down the
door through which she entered and
the Tiger in a room at the real ready
to spring at the girl if she enters the
room.

himself, as he said, was hard of
hearing. The shrill voice of the
wife and the gruff voice of the hus-
band filled the spring night with
discords. At last there was
strange calm, an absolute silence.
At dawn the gardener, very I'M
easy in mind, was raking a path
way. Leaning out of window NJ.
d basement called him. He entered
the house, leaving his big sabots at
the door. He brought with him an
odor, at once pungent and fragrant,
Of earth and roses-the odor of a
garden after sharp summer
shower. But another perfume, still
more penetrating, was exhaled from
within the room. 1t was that of the
goodlooking young wife, whom the
gardener failed to see anywhere.
M. basement was there alone,
beside an immense packing box for
books. The top was open. Out of
the box struggled fragile, charming,
feminine things-lawns, batistes and
laces. The owner, his face livid,
kept his eyes turned away from it.
He motioned to it, and his hand,

said nothing. That night he helped
to bury the mysterious box. Pres

M. basement never went there.
He was paler and more stopping
than a centenarian. His wandering
gaze seemed to pursue q shadow.
Every night the gardener had night
mares which shook him, gasping,
out Of his bed. He believed that a
ghost, bleeding and .groaning,
walked about in the garden. His
brain continually evoked the scene
Of violence and that which must
have followed. Then he thought of
what he had done-he, the accom-
plice. He, had the idea of sending
an anonymous letter to the police
But he couldn't screw up his cour-
age to do it.
The death-some say the suicide
of M. basement freed his con-
science. The police, enlightened by
him, started an investigation. Thew

in anything, and whose only fault Is
her poverty. Take our painting,
music, literature. Our taste for
painting is unsurpassed, and as
every one knows, our art is Of the
best. Unlike some countries, we
have no patience with that new mad
ness that calls itself art. All Spain
laughs at the irrational futurists
and cubists who only make a fool of
the public. I have gone with my
friends to see pictures and we have
aided each other to guess if a GER
tain picture was the skyline of
city, study in the nude or a con-
flict of souls.

himself. He determined to hold on
to the little income which was left.
He still owned an old house in the
country, sombre and lonely, hidden
in a garden which an aged care
taker made a pretence of keeping
in order. They took refuge in this
house, with the old gardener as
their only servant. Marie pro-
tested. But, contrary to her ex-
pectation, M. basement was i'm.
movable. Her excuses and the
catastrophe which she had caused
aroused his sense Of manhood. He
recovered his authority. They in
stalled themselves as best they
could. But there was an evil flame
in the eyes of the woman, deprived
at once of her maid and her ad-
mirers. That double misfortune en-
ragged her.
The new mode Of existence lasted
only week. One night there was

body was covered with a cold sweat
at the thought of what he was to
do. He imagined the drama of the
night before. That sudden silence,

there was no corpse. The house and

basement had carried with him the
secret of his crime-of that ven.

many infidelities! The police were
mystified. The gardener was I'M
willing to stay any longer in the

Fortunately, the notary received
letter from the missing wife. She
had learned by chance of her hus-

to escape from 80 cramping an ex-

And no one could imagine that
the betrayed and abandoned hus-
band had wished to put in the box,
not dead body, but the phantom
of his love, with all that equipment
which makes woman fascinating
and redoubtable. On that secret
tomb he wanted to have fall the
full rose and the dead leaf which
are the symbols Of desire, in so far
as it is ephemeral and mortal. He
wished also to see the snow fall.

the time-honored pen and ink-the
consecrated paper and the sanctified
ink that have ever been the medium
Of the masters of literature. No
such modern contraption as type
writer or a stenographer had
assisted in the task of transferring
the daily quota of words from brain
to paper. The pen-and-ink tradition
is sacred In the eyes of Blasco
1banez. 1t is tradition that is
walled about from the attacks of
modernity with immemorial and
classic custom.
While the novelist folded his letter
took note of the sturdy physique,
capable Of infinite endeavor, the
massive head with it's untidy black
hair, his aristocratic, aquiline nose
and the cleft chin that imparts a
requisite softness to his strong
features. The eyes, brown, keen and
kind, bore signs Of the WEAKNESS of
protracted labor and much too little
sleep.
