There was a dim light in the hall. His
host conducted him through a door to
the left, closing 1t after him and leaving
them In absolute darkness. Suddenly a
luminous globe, strangely decorated
shone family In the center Of an immense
room that seemed to Thomas more splep-
dldly appointed than any he had ever
seen on the stage or read of in fairy
stories
The walls were hidden by gorgeous red
hanginGs embroidered with fantastic
gold figures. At the rear end Of the room
were draped portieres Of dull gold span
gled with silver crescents and stars The
furniture was Of the costliest and rarest
styles. The eX-coachman's feet sank into
rugs as feecy and deep as snowdrifts.
There were three or four oddly shane 4

Suddenly a stuffed owl that stood on an

seized a bronze statuette of Hebe from

over with a crash. With the sound there
was a click, and the room was flooded
with light from dozen frosted globes

asked.

Hy HE ranks of the Bed Line moved
closer together; for 1t was cold,
cold. They were alluvial deposit
of the stream of life lodged in the delta
of Fifth avenue and Broadway. The
Bed Liners stamped their freezing feet,
looked at the empty benches in Madison
Square whence Jack Frost had evicted

confusion Of tongues. The Flatiron build

Standing on a pine box a head higher
than his hock of goats, the preacher ex-
horted whatever transient and shifting
audience the north wind doled out to
him. 1t WAS a slave market. Fifteen
cents bought you man. You decided

The preacher was incredibly earnest
and unwearied. He had looked over the
list of things one may do for ones fell
low man, and had assumed for himself
| the task or putting to bed all who might
apply at his soap box on the nights OF
Wednesday and sunday. That left but
FIVE nights for other philanthrOplsts to

come a vast Arcadian dOrmitory where
all might snooze and snore the happy
hours away, letting problem plays and
the rent man and business go to the
deuce.
The hour of eight was but a little while
past; stghtseers in a small. dark mass

USE OF "sENTENCE HYMN +.

Q. How did the name sentence hymn
come into use? I. NJ.
A. The term sentence hymn" came
from the practice of earlier days when
hymn books were scarce. In order that
all the congregation might be able to
join in the singing the pastor would read
aloud the first two lines, which were then
sung and the reading and singing would
continue alternately TO the end of the
hymn. This practice is still continued In
some Of the rural churches of the South.

 "He marry herr"
 '@That is the way Hanley understood it."
 "Then your name not Shirchil2"
 "No; it's Shelby"
 "And Senor Macklin-his name ShirchilY
 ''I reckon likely; I don't know"
 There was a sound without and she sprang instantly aside to the table, busying herself furiously. Laud and the Mexican entered, throwing their saddles down nOisily into one corner and without paying the slightest at- tention to Shelby, prepared themselves for the meal. To the rather curt in- vitation of the former the ranchman drew up the bench to the table and joined them. Pancha asked her broth CT few questions, but Indian Joe nev- CT uttered word until he had eaten his fill. Once Shelby caught his eyes looking across at him, but except for that one glance the fellow seemed oblivious of any other presence. Fin ally he pushed back his chair, pulled his feet around to where the butt of a revolver was within easy reach of his hand and his eyes glared straight into Shelby's face.
 Had enough?"
 'Plenty; Pancha is a good cook"
 "She Is that. Thought I'd wait till after supper before we talked busi- ness. Now, Churchill, or whatever your name is, maybe you'll tell me where you got that bronc with Three Star brand on him?"
The St. Johns herald., 1921-06-30

calm enough himself, however, for he had imagined this unpleasant discov- cry might be made and was not en- tirely unprepared to meet 1t.
 'What brand?' he asked coolly. ''You mean the Three Stars%
 'That's exactly what 1 mean, pard- her. I happen to know where that bronc com from"
 "Then you know more than do, Laud. I bought the pony from liv- cry man at Gerlasche to ride out here on; some bucker, at that. Say, come to think about it, those cows you were driving in were Three Stars"
 "That is just what they were, most O them. That's what struck me as d-n funny. Those cattle com from up on the Cottonwood; they belonged to a feller named Shelby"
 "You run 'em off"
 "That's none O your d-n business. That's where they came from, an Shelby's dead. But what I'm inter- ested in Is how the h-l you got his horse."
 He dropped his gun down on the table and stared across into Shelby's imperturbable face with hard, threat ening eyes.

"YoUl HER HUsBAND?"

Synopsis.-Tom Shelby, a rancher, rides into the frontier town of Ponca, looking for a good time af- ter ,ong spell of hard work ana loneliness on the ranch. Instead, he runs into funeral-that of Dad Calkins, a retired army man Of whom little is known. A girl, still in her teens, survives Calkins. Mc- Carthy. a saloon keeper and Pom ca's leading citizen, decides that the girl, now alone in the world, should marry. She agrees to pick out husband from the score of men lined up in her home. To his consternation, she selects Shelby, who had gone along merely as a spectator. The wedding takes place and the couple set out for Shelby's ranch. With them is "Kid" Macklin, whom Shelby has hired as a helper. On the way the girl tells her husband her name is Olga Carlyn, and also tells him something of the peculiar circum- stances of her Iife Upon their ar- rival at the ranch Shelby is struck down from behind and left for dead. He recovers consciousness to find that Macklin and his wife have gone. He starts in pursuit. He learns his wife is an heiress, that her abduction has been carefully planned and that she has been taken to Wolves Hole, a strong hold of bandits and bad Indians. Reaching Wolves Hole. he is dis covered by Indian Joe and forced to accompany him into the Hole.

CHAPTER vIIl-contlnued.

Shelby rode away silently between the two, conscious that this brief con- versation had in no way improved his position. To be sure he had escaped an immediate meeting with Hanley, but the fact that the latter had entire iy failed to mention his probable ar rival must have left an unpleasant suspicion in Laud's mind. The fellow said nothing, however, and apparent ty took no precautions, but Shelby was nevertheless fully aware that the other watched him cautiously, and would be quick to detect the slightest movement. They rode at a walk through a darkness so profound that he could not be sure they were even following a trail. The sound of boisterous voices rang out occasion ally, but they bore off steadily toward the left away from the noise, and he noticed the Mexican had grasped the bride of the buckskin, and was firm Iy guiding the animal.
 ZIP said Laud suddenly, 'T forgot all about the Kid. Wanter see him. ChurchiliE"
 ''Not specially ternight," Shelby ad- mitted hastily, "mornin' will be soon enough"
 "All right, then; 'tain't much far ther, enyhow. There's the high rock, Juan; the light'll show round the next turn"
 It did. shining out like a star, and they drove up in front of a log shack, an odd-shaped, rambling affair, built close in against wall of rock. The door opened in response to the sound of the horses hoofs, and a young woman appeared in the entrance, peer ing forth.
 ~That you. JuanT she asked in Spanish.
 "Si; there are three of us, Pancha," replied the Mexican, "and we would eat quickly. Is the senor here?"
 "Not since noon, Juan. He said little wheL he rode away, yet there has that occurred I would talk with you about"
 "'Tis well. little one-after we eat there will be time"
 Laud swung heavily down from his horse, holding up his rein to Juan, who remained in the saddle. He moved like one whose limbs were stiff fened by being long in one position.
 ''Holy Smokel I can hardly walk" be muttered. 'T will go along with you to the corral to teach my legs how to behave. And as for you, Church in," his voice deepening on the word, ego on into the cabin, and wait there till we come"
 There was nothing for Shelby to do but obey Suspicion caused him to feel a thrill of apprehension from h. dian Joe's curt manner, yet there was nothing in the words to resent and bis only chance of safety lay in an outward appearance of satisfaction. The girl drew aside, and he stepped forward into the room. An instant she fingered, as he glanced hastily about at the plainly furnished inter- for, then closed the door, and began busying herself in arranging the ta- ble. She was young, not over six teen, he judged, with dark hair and eyes, decidedly pretty, and with a quick movement, like the flight of bird. Twice she passed him on her Journeys to the fire place, without even gIancing in his direction; then sudden
