giant could recover his pOndCrOus strength to strike again, the Red Mask had him by the wrist. and, seemingly unwilling to risk the sound of a shot, was raining blows upon his head with the butt of his heavy revolver. IL was a horrible thing Co see. The girl stood with laced fingers, helpless with hur- TOT. The frSI blow brought the blood streaming out over the white hair and disabled the old man so frightfulIy that he ceased tue struggle and stood quivering. But the merCiless arm struck again and again until the vast frame dropped. shrank together, the knife fell from his fingers his knees gave way and he sank grooming to the tloor-writhed, strengthened and lay still.
 The revolver was foul with blood and gray hair. The murderer noticed it, hastily wiped 1t away on corner of the fallen mans coat, thrust 1t back into his pocket and raced the girl.
 The spell was broken. She started as if from a nightmare and sprang back of the chair Like man pressed for time, he dashed after her. With the chair between them, she managed for a bare moment to keep beyond his hands. He kicked the chair out of the way. She darted toward the kitchen door. probably with the hope of escaping to the woods, but he was too close to her. She whirled toward the door of the bedroom. The turn was fatal. His hands reached her and drove her back Into the corner of the room at the head of the couch.
 She fought as only woman fights for a stake infinitely higher than life itself. Since time began the earth has staged that struggle. Her dress was torn, her body bruised, her hands gruluAlly driven ,u-r;,rr behind her

CHAPTER XIV.
Man to Man and an Even Draw.

The candle fingered long that night in the cabin of the three gables. The old man was more than usually rest less. The girl lowered about his chair constantly. She succeeded at last In coaSlng him down in his chair. where he sat grooming: mumbling In his beard: and whettiRC the knife on the palm of his hand. She had snoothed the cushions behind his head and stood Stroking his face wltR her hand, when. without the least warning, the door flew open, and. sharply outlined against the dark background of the night. a man with red mask over his face stalked across the threshold.
 He was. or course quite unaware that the girl already knew hIS identity. That probably explained why ne had put on the mask. It would be impos- sible to describe the startling trans formation it wrought on his sinister face. From out of nll Its many ter TOTS the night could not have selected a more appalling one to fling into the cabin.
 The girl screamed and clung about the old man in the chair. Her scream seemed Co rouse him. He glanced up, rubbed hls wide. pitiful eyes. and. with wild cry-morc that of beast than mau-sprung from the chair with a strength that sent the girl reelIng. His sleeping senses seemed to wake, 10 recognize the object for which his ghostly eyes had searched the woods for weary yearS-a bit of red cloth with Q certain face behind it.

The old man was staring at them both, from one to the other, as If unable to grasp revelation that had been twen- ty years coming.

happily busy again with the water ana Oandages,
 The sheriff had left the couch and was sQuatted over the body of the fallen bandit. The Pearlhunter hap pened to glance that way. The sheriff becEoned to him.
 This feller ain't dead yet" he said, when the Pearlhunter had joined him. The young man stopped over the spruwled rObber. He was still breath Ing.
 He don't deserve it." the sheriff went on, but it's only common de- cency to get him up."
 He put his arm under the man and raised him, while the Pearlhunter brought q damp cloth from the basin by the couch, and wiped his face. The touch of the cold cloth rallied him. -"Waterw he mumbled, husky and strained.
 The girl had turned and was looking on. She ran to the kitchen and brought A cupful. The Pearlhunter held It to the mans lips. He couldn't swallow, but the touch of the water seemed to revive him. He opened his eyes and stared, like a man trying to make out objects In a very dim light. His eyes caught the glitter of the sherifs star, drowned, raised, found the Pearlhunter and strained hard at him.
 And it was cussed Warbritton that got me at last"
 "Who speaks the name of Warbrit- ton?" came e hoarse voice from the couch.
 The dying bandit started, rolled his eyes toward the sound.
 What wus that! That voice !"
 The Pearlhunter caught the foot of the couch and moved 1t around so the two fast sinking men could see each other. No sooner had the gray giant on the couch caught glimpse of the man on the floor than, with great cry. he tried to rise. His utmost strength only served to bring him part ly up on an elbOw,-and that only with the Pearlhunter's aid.
 Martin RedmOndw he cried-and almonst instantly: "Where Is she? The woman you dIstalned? And the boy? Tell me! I've still the strength to tear 1t out of your cursed throat"
 The dying rObher fixed hls falling eyes on the couch. Only God knows who giveth his grace 10 the Just and tU the unjuSt-hOw he found strength for further words.

She sleeps tonight in a grave four days old at Fallen Rock"
 He picked up his hand from where 1t sagged down upon the floor, carried 1t at great labor to his bosom, fumbled under the fancy vest, drew forth picture and laid 1t against his lips The Pearlhunter snatched 1t away. The action brought the picture near the old man. He seized It, held 1t an instant before his eyes. and with deep grOan laid 1t against his bosom.

Auto Tire Kills Boy.

James Wooten, six years old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Wooten, of near
Springfield, Tenn. was killed by the
explosion of an auto tire. A spare
tire on the rear of Mr. Wooten's car
had a slit in the outer casing. Throu
this slit portion of the inner tube
had pushed in little round knob.
The child was playing near the car,
saw the little balloon" and tried to
pull it off. He then put it in. his
mouth, and tried to bite it. off. The
tire exploded forcing the air into his
lungs. His left lung was torn to
pieces. Seven doctors rushed to the
scene, but the child died in two hours

Radio Amateurs Get Weather Reports

An amateur radio operator in North
Dakota has written the Weather Bu-
reau, United States Department OF
Agriculture, that he is daily lccelV-
ing the weather forecasts sent out py
the powerful wireless station at Ar
lington, Va. In Kansas, according TO
reports, the State agricultural college
is now sending out weather reports
by wireless every morning except
Sunday, for the benefit Of 4 consider
able number of amateurs many OF
whom live in the rural districts OF
that State and so are able to be OF
service to the farmers in their neigh
borhooCs. No doubt in other parts
Of the country there are those who
arc listening in" On the dispatches
sent cut by high-powcred ladio tow
ers.
The sending of the Weather Bu-
reau's forecasts by radio is in charge
of the Navy, hence at many points
far inland it is improbable that anna
teurs could pick up the messages. The
Weather Bureau has carefully consid-
cred the possibilities of further use
Of the wireless in inland districts, but
owing to an arrangement made some
years ago whereby the bureau relin-
qu;shed radio activity in favor of the
Army for inland communication and
the navy for coastal work it has not
been feasible to extend the forecast
service in this manner. However,
what the amateur in North Dakota
and those in Kansas have been able
to do suggests that ether might "pick
up" the weather reports, thereby Sc
curing them considerably in advance
CT the published reports. To do this
it will be necessary to ascertain the
exact time that the forecast is sent
out and the wave length used. The
Weather Bureau will be glad to in
form inquirers as to the points at
which the Federal Government sends
out weather reports by radio, but it
will not have information as to such
activities by other agencies.

LIME VALUABLE TO FARMS

The farmers of Virginia have lear
ned more about the value of lime
from the iollltyfarm demonstration
agents than from any other source.
pcmonstrauicns conducted on the tai
MS Of this state show considera h''A
profit in over 95 per cent of cases.
Experiments conducted at the yer-
ious sub-experiment stations show
that the wise application Of lime Civ
es really wonderful results in most
sections of Virginia. Tests made at
the Appamatox, Bowling Green and
Chatham Stations with lime, applied
at the rate of one ton of burnt lime
or two tons of ground limestone per
Iecre in the rotation Of tobacco, hay
corn and wheat cove an average in
crease of S7.22 per acre, and 1874 bus
Ihels of wheat per acre. The results
with tobacco are expressed in doll
ars because lime affects the quality
Of this crop. At the Chatham Station
lime caused loss of $3.50 per acre
in the value of the tobacco crop. This
loss was due to the poor quality of
the tobacco on the lime plots.
At the present price of farm pro-
ducts it can be seen that one ton of
burnt lime or it's equivalent is easily
worth $4,000. Of course, all of this
is not clear profit as more labor is re-
quired to handle the extra crop pro-
-duct. But even if this is considered
there are few things that pay better
returns for each dollar invested than
lime.
The annual reports of the county
agents of Virginia showed that alb
out 10000 tons of lime and limestone,
were used in this state during 1919
largely due to the agents influance.
Therefore, if ton of lime or limeston
will give an increase in crop produc-
ton of even $500, the work done
by the county agent in aiding the
farmers in getting lime on their farm
is easily worth 100000. 1t can thus
be seen that the returns from this
one line of endeavor Of the county
agents are much greater than the
cost of the whole Extension work in
the State

Ball play,in church by the dean and
choir boys of Naples was curious old
custom during the Feast of2Fools".at
Easter. The boys danced around the
dean singing an antiphon. The dean
had ball which he threw to them, and
they caught It while dancing.
Later ut private dancing. parties the
dancers threw ball to each other as,
to the sound of their own voices, they
whir,ed around in sets. The epastime
consisted in loosening hands In time TO
catch the ball. Dancing has long sur

karakul Fur.

Karakul, Persian lamb and Astra-
khan furs come from the regions about
Bokhara, in Turkestan. Before the
war almost all of them were dyed and
treated at Leipsic, where two houses
alone received 100000 skins, with a
yearly value of about S2,TO0OOO. T..
The race of sheep known as Kara
kul is a native Of Turkestan, and its
special home Is in the vast sandy des-
ert plains of Bokhara. The lambs are
born covered with an abundant fleece.
down to their boots and as far as their
ewes. This fleece is formed of black
strands tightly curlcd against the skin.
II the animal he killed within three
days of its birth and skinned at once
the fleece remains unchanged. AS 1t
grows, however the curls untwist. and
after It once has been sheared the wool
grows with scarcely a trace of curl.
