w. RESURRECTION.

Somebody chuckled hOarsely. Chairs
were shifted. Asides were exchanged
in audible murmurs. A cOntsmptuOuS
voice declared loudly: ITS Nora, all
right, all right !" The Nut bent his
mouth to humble into the ear of IneZ
something apparently in the nature of
a remOnstrance. She heard him with
a surly face, grOwled a response which
seemed to irritate him exceedingly,
and turned scOrnfully away. English
Addie alone changed neither her pose
nor the moderately dubious express
sion with which she was regarding
Priscilla.
The latter drawing upon an uneX-
pected store of latent spirit, moved
forward to the edge OF the table.

uttered with difficulty. "I-I-"
"My Gawd" Inez commented dra-
maticGlly-"she admits itw

hardly speak-glve me something to

English Addie sat forward sharply
and squirted siphon water into n
glass. "A drop of brandy, dearie?"

Victim of CareIessness Came Back
With Pointed Remark Concerning
Companions Immediate Future.

Two negroes were working in a
coal bin in Il Mississippi town, one
down in the bin throwing out the coal
and the other welding a shovel. The
one inside picked up'a large lump and
heaved it carelessly into the air, struck
the other a resounding blow on the
head
AS soon as the victim had recovered
from his momentary daze he walked
over to the edge of the bin and, peer
ing down at his mate, said:
"Nigger, how come you don't watch
where you throws dat coal? You done

The other looked surprised.

Priscilla began to get her bearings,
finding herself in that sordid room
where she had witnessed the tmeeting
of I4epnsra ,ppd Ihez, beside tthe in
sentfelit body of the drug fiend, on the
night of the storm. She reviewed face
after face known to her through the
associations of her dreams; English
Eddie heavy, ford and flashy; Char
,le the Coke, CHASTITY of face, shifty-
eyed, with his fraiI, racked body and
spasmOdic gestures; Inez with elbows
planted on tSes table, sullen face
clamped between two fists; at her side,
the Nut, to whose presence nothing of
his uptown elegance adhered but the
boring under the burden of a new
part, self-asSumed, his bottle neck
shoulders wearing with poor grace the
mantle of Red Carnehan, master of
bered as lesser limbs of Reds
gang.
The company sat in silence, staring
at Nora with unfriendly, inquisitive
eyes. Precisely SO had LeonOra on
that occasion faced a prejudiced jury
of her kind. Only the setting was
slightly different, the company deci-
mated, its presiding spirit gone beyond
recall.
The pause lasted longer than the
patience of Inez. She sat up sudden

mimicking the manner of bally-hoo be-

wit enough to refrain from throwing
a look of gratitude to this new-fOund
ally.
"Ah. for Gawd's sakew Inez pro-

you can see her."

to rest in quiet and cOmfort-nOt here
before we go into our plans. And
you need not trust me. I'm willing
that one of you shall come with me

"You are-like HIP
The girls defiance found an echo in
a new voice at the back of the room.
Like HI is right"
There was concerted turning of
startled heads.
The door had opened nOselessly. It
framed the figure of a man wearing a
greasy red sweater hiked up at either
hip to permit his hands to remain in
the pockets of a pair of tattered,
frayed and stained khaki trousers. His
pose was rudely nonchalant. A cap
of gray cloth pulled forward shad-

with an evil, mirthless grin, was I'M

After moments relish of the dra-
matte sensation effected by his unher-
aided resurrection, Red Carnehan
slouched in, closed the door with a
kick of his heel, and put his shoulders
to it.

V. THE HAUNTED MAN.

Stupefied silence held till shattered
by laugh of uncouth joy.

Overturning her chair. "Red Cane-
han! My Gawd, Red, you've come
back !"
"Ill say have"

ward the table.
They crowded about Carnehan, shak-
ing his hands, slapping his back,
screaming and believing a hundred
phrases of congratuIation, delight, and
amazement, together with questions
innumerabIe. He suffered the ovation,
laughing, greeting each by name
yielding his hands to one after an
other.
Then, without warning he began to
strike down the fawning hands and
thrust his way through the group to-
ward the table.
Lay off mel" he snarIed. Lay off
gimme air I'll bean the next guy
what puts his hands onto me! Lay
off"
But Redr' Addie protested-"we
thought you was deadw
you wasn't far wrong, at that"
Carnehan seized the brandy bottle and
chartered its neck against glass into
which he spilled the raw spirit lavish
ly. The drink at his lips, his gaze,
rowing above the brim, discovered and
was transfXed by the pale, set face of
Priscilla. He started violently. AS
if an invisible but mighty hand had
struck him crashing blow, he stag
gered back, lost his footing, brought
up heavily against the table. Bottle
and glass, escaping his palsied grasp,
crashed to the floor. In a fluttering
breath the blood drained from his
face, and left it livid, leaden and blue.
His widened eyes were fixed in hor-
ror.

He lifted shaking arm and singled
out Priscilla. His voice became a
scream: "Name of Gawd! somebody
tell me-what's at there?"

New Seeds BEING Tested.

Seeds of number of unusual plants
have been recently received at the
quarantine station of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, from j. f. Rock, one of the depart
ments explorers in Siam. Among
these are a blaCk-kerneled rice which
is said to be extensively eaten by
the natives of Siam, and another is
a brown-tinted cotton, not hitherto
known in this country. The seeds
will be propagated in the plant-deten-
ton station to guard against spreading
any lurking plant disease which may
have chung to them, and the second
generation seed will be tested out in
various parts of the United States.

waverng in his hand. With a choking
cry, Priscilla covered, throwing both
hands out to shield her face. The Nut
and AGdie fell upon Carnehan bodily.
For moment it seemed that they
might be able to hold him. But he
fought with the, strength of a maniac.
The hold of the English woman was
broken first, She was thrown off Shrek
ing for help. The Nut chung desperate
ly to Carnehan's pistol hand, striving
to wrest the weapon from him. Then
others. closed in, Carnehan became the
core of Il swaying, writing tangle of
bodies.
1t was, Priscilla thought, like look
ing through a peep hole into hell.
They fought like wild beasts in a pit,
like beasts they grOwled, yelped,
snarled, snapped, howled, roared. A
haze of dust, beaten up from the I'M
swept floor by scuffing, shifting,
stamping feet, hung in the gas light,
The pistol exploded with a detona-
ton ear-splitting in that confined
space,
Priscilla, witless with fright, felt
herself seized and urged toward the
door
BEAT it, child-get out of this as
quicks you cam I seen from the very
first you wasn't Nora"
She recognized the accent of Eng
lish Addie.
In one 1.-THE bound, a crouching
shape of malice with a pale face Of
evil and blazing eyes planted itself
before them and blocked the way.
Keep away from that doOr!" Inez
screeched. "She shant get away, she
shan't! I'll rip her eyes out first"
She darted cawing hands at Priscil-
las face. The bulk of the English
woman came between them. In panic
Priscilla paved frantically at the
door, swung it wide, stumbled out,
Numbered blindly into the wall where
the hallway turned, cannOned off, and
somehow found .herself before a Sec
Ond door.
An aged Chinaman was guarding 1t.
Duly she remembered having seen
him before and wondered would he
seek to hinder her. But he seemed
unaware of her. He was eyeng i'm
passvely the door, which, she discov-
cred. was quivering under rain Of
blows On the other side.
GraSping instinctively at the truth,
she thrust the guardian unceremoni-
the bolts.
without protest the Chinaman
turned and shuffled off.
The storm of blows continued. The
bolts were reluctant to her shaking,
uninstructed fingers. At length how
ever, the last slid back, she lifted the
stout iron latch, the door slammed
open.
Three uniformed policemen, armed
with pistols and nghtstcks, charged
in. Seeing the girl, one seized and
threw her roughly back against the
wall. She gave a cry of pain. A voice
she knew protested sharply:
LET that lady go, officer. She is
my wife"
Priscilla turned. Mario was offer
ing her the haven of his arms. She
went into them sobbing his name aloud
Other police officers passed them. run

As readily as though she had beer
