THE INDIAN DRUM
 By William Mact1arg and Edwin Balmer Copyright

sudden disappearance of the man might mean only that he had hurried away, but it might mean, too, that he was still lurking near the house. Alan had decided to make the circuit of the house and determine that. But as he came out on to the porch, a figure more than a block away to the south strode with uncertain step out into the light of a street lamp, halted and faced about, and shook his fist back at the house. Alan dragged the h. dian out on to the porch.
 "Is that the man, Judah?'' he de- handed.
 'tYes, Alan"
 Alan ran down the steps and at full speed after the man. But when he reached the corner he was nowhere in sight. Alan retraced his steps for several blocks, still looking; then he gave it up and returned east toward the Drive.
 The side street leading to the Drive was not well lighted; dark entry ways and alleys opened on it; but the night was clear. Alan could see at the end of the street, beyond the yellow glow of the distant boulevard lights, the

 There is one fact women should con- slider and thatis this. Women suffer from irregularities and various forms of weak ness. They try this and that doctor, as we'll as different medicines. Finally they take Lydia B. Pinkham's Compound, and Mrs. Sherman's experienceis is simply another case showing the merit of this well-known medicine.
 If your family physician fails to help you and the same old troubles persist, why isn t it reasonable to try Lydia B, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

 smooth, chill surface Of the lake. A white light rode above 1t now, below the white light, he saw a red speck- the masthead and port lanterns of a steamer northward bound. Farther out, a second white glow appeared from behind the obscuration of the buildings and below it a green speck- a starboard light. Information he had gained enabled him to recognize in these lights two steamers passing one another at the harbor mouth.
 His thoughts turned to Constance Sherrill. Events since he had talked far apart once more but, in another way, they were being drawn closer to- gether. For he knew now that she was caught as well as he in the mesh of consequences of acts not their own.
 He staggered, slipped, fell suddenly forward upon his knees, under stun ming, crushing blow upon his head from behind. Thought, consciousness almost lost, he struggled, twisting him. self about to grasp at his asSailant. He caught the mans clothing, trying to drag himself up; fighting blindly, dazedly, unable to see or think, he shouted aloud and then again, aloud. He seemed in the distance to hear an- swering cries; but the weight and strength of the other was bearing him down again to his knees; he tried to slip aside from it, to rise. Then an- other blow, crushing and sickening, descended on his head; even hearing left him and, unconscious, he fell for ward on to the snow and lay still.

CHAPTER VIII-Continued.

You're Chippewa, aren't you. Judah?" Alan asked.
 "Yes."
 "Your people live at the other end of the lake, don't they?"
 ''Yes, Alan"
 Have you ever heard Of the Indian Drum they talk about up there, that they say sounds when a ship goes down on the lake?''
 The Indians eyes sparkled excited ly. "Yes," he said.
 Do you believe in it2''
 -Not just believe; I know. Every body knows that it sounds for those who die on the lake. I have heard it. It sounded for my father."-
 "How was that?'
 Like this. My father sold some bullocks to a man on Beaver island. The man kept store on Beaver island, Alan. No Indian liked him. He would not hand anything to an Indian or wrap anything fin paper for an Indian. Say 1t was like this: An Indian comes in to buy salt pork. First the man would get the money. Then, Alan, he would take his hook and pull the pork up out of the barrel and throw it on the dirty floor for the Indian to pick up. He said Indians must take their food off of the f1oor--like dogs.
 My father had to take the bullocks to the man, across to Beaver island. At first the Indians did not know who the bullocks were for, so they helped him. When they found out the bull locks were for the man on Beaver island, the Indians would not help him any longer. He had to take them across alone. Besides, it was bad weather, the beginning of storm.
 "He went away, and my mother went to pick berrieS-I was small then. Pretty soon I saw my mother coming back. She had no berries, and her hair was hanging down, and she was Uailing. She took me in her arms and

Philadelphia Nationals with whom ne
had a trial this spring.
The pills paid $4,000 of the $4,--
600 draft price on Shower and agreed
to pay the final $4,000 if Shower made
good. By Showers failure to remain
at Philly, the Hi1lies lose $4,000, but
they believe it is worth 1t to get Sno-

Another boy wonder has been
discovered Out in Port Huron,
Mich, a 9-year-old youngster has
startled the followers of billiards
by the exceptional proves he has
shown at pocket billiards. His
name is George Askar. He has
been playing the game but seven
months and has progressed SO
rapidly that he recently made a
run of 43. In spite of his short
stature he never sits on the table
to execute his shots, making a
majority of them while standing
on the floor, and seldom does he
use a bridge. He shows fine judg-
ment in selecting his shots, and
his execution and position play
are remarkable.
