For YOU"
Her part of the conversation was
limited. 1t consisted of the word
Yes repeated at intervals and con-
Guiding, "Oh, I'm so glad. Thank you.
Her eyes were sparkling when she
hung up.
Good news, dad" she, said. "T'll tell
you later"
Durand laughed brutally as he rose
Coed news, Ell? Get all you can
You'll need 1t. Take that from me. It's
straight. Your friends in trouble up to
the neck" He staggered to the door
| and turned. Don't forget, Bromfield
Keep outa this or you'll be sorry" His
voice was like the crack of trainers
| whip to animals In circus.
For once Bromfield did not jump
through the hoop. "Oh, go to the devil,
he said in irritation, flushing angrily.
Better not get gay with me-" ad.
vised Durand sourly.
After the door had closed on him
there was a momentary pause. The
younger man spoke awkwardly. "YOu
can tell me now what it was Mr.. Lind
say: told YOU"
Wed like to know for sure whether
you're with us or with Durand," said
Whitford mildly. "Of course we know
the answer to that You're with US
But we want to hear you say 1t, fiat
foot"
"Of course I'm with you. That is
I'd like to be. But don't want to get
into trouble, Mr.. Whitford. Can you
blame me for that?"
You wouldn't get into trouble" ar
gued the mine owner impati4ntIy. 81
keep telling you that"
Beatrice, watching the younger man
closely, saw as in a flash the solution
of this mystery-the explanation of the
tangle to which various scattered
threads had been leading her.
Are you sure of that, dad?"
How could he be hurt, Bee?"
The girl let Bloomfield have it straight
from the shoulder. Because Clay
didn't kill that man Collins. Clarendon
did it."
MY G., you know" he cried
ashen-faced. HE told you"
mo, he didn't tell us. For some rea
son he's protecting you. But know
it just the same. You did It,"
1T was in self-defense," he pleaded
"Then why didn't you say so? Why
did you let Clay be accused instead OF
coming forward at once"

show he was innocent without"

She was right. There was no evil

ant saying, "Mr. Whitford does not
wish to talk with you, SIR" At last
he telegraphed.
The message read:
I'll come to your house at eight
this evening. Better see me for mis-
sizes sake"
1t was signed by Durand.
When Jerry called he was admitted.

Legends Regarding Them Vary Wide
Iy, the Oriental Mind Regarding
Them With Reverence.

Perhaps we never stop to realize
how strange it is that among the saints
there is room for one TO win his place
by the reputed actual saving of lady
from a dragon. And yet this is the
story of Saint George of England. and
considered in no allegorical light by
the medieval church. The wealth
boarding and slaughter bringing drag
ons early trailed across the legends
of Europe, bringing with them desOla-
ton and forming pretexts for love af-
fairs between lorn damsels and he
roeS.
The eastern mind sympathized with
the dragon and made it the emblem
of rule. I know of only one instance
where anyone attempted to destroy a
dragon, for they were usually regarded

You Can Get Back
Your Grip on
Health

Persons suffering from stomach
trouble and who are under weight
find an ever-ready friend In Tanlac.
This celebrated medicine has ended
Indigestion and increased the weight
for thousands Of people everywhere.
Mrs. o. d. Flaherty, 1905 Grace St,
Lynchburg, Va, says:
my sons health was fully restored
by Tanlac and he actually gained
twenty pounds in weight. After every
meal he suffered terribly from severe
pains, palpitation and shortness Of
breath, and had awful headaches. He
was terribly nervous, too. He Is
working now every day and Is in as
good health as he ever was"
Under nourishment is the cause of
most cases Of under weight. Tanlac
enables the stomach to extract the
healthy nutriment from the food,
builds up the whole body and In
creases the weight to normal. MIL

great benefits. Get bottle today

moral turpitude rang in her clear voice.

out of it that way" he explained
weakly. ....... ...

"Your man could telephone, couldn't
he? He wasn't i'll, too, was he?"
Whitford interfered. Hold on,
honey. Don't rub it in. Clarendon was
a bit ratified. That's natural. The
question is, what's he going to do now 2"
Their host groaned. ''Durandll see

man to save my own life. / wasn't try
ing to kill the fellow. He was shooting
at me, and had to do it."
"Of course" agreed Whitford.

DRAGONS OF EAST AND WEST

as sacred and of Incompatible power.
The West, however, true to its tenn
permanent, preferred to tell of dragons
conquered and slain by the wit of man.
The dragon is almost the symbol of
nature in the East, and the different
ways Of meeting it seem to form an
allegory of the oriental mystic rever-
ence of nature and the European scien-
tific conquest of it.-Elizabeth J. Coats
worth, in the North American Review.

BEAT It," Ordered Gorilla Dave, His
Head Thrust Forward in Threat.
"You'se Got No Business Hers!"
Her eyes went from 1t to a plank In
the partition and then back to the thin
crisp Of wood.
What is it, honey?" asked Whit
ford.
The girl turned to MuldOon, alert in
every quivering muscle. THAT express
wagon-the one leaving the house as
we drove up-did you notice it?"
Number ia" answered Tim,
promptly.
Can you have 1t stopped and the
man arrested? Don't you see? They've
rebuilt this partition. They were TAX
ing away in that wagon the planks
with the bullet holes"
MuldOOn was out of the room and
going down the stairs before she had
finished speaking. 1t was a quarter
of an hour later when he returned
Beatrice and her father were not to be
seen.
From back of the partition came an
eager, vibrant voice rs that you, Mr..
MuldOon? Come here quick. We've
found one Of the bullets in the wall"
The policeman passed out of the
door through which BrOmfield had
made his escape and found another
small door opening from the passage
1t took him into the cubby-hole of a
room in which were the wires and in
StrUments used to receive news of the
races.
What about the express wagon?"
asked Whitford.
Wen get 1t. Word is out for those
on duty to keep an eye open for it.
Where's the bullet?"
Beatrice pointed 1t out to him.
There it was. safely embedded In the
plaster, about five feet from the
ground.
"Durand wasn't thorough enough.
He quit too sOOn," said the officer with
a grin. Crooks most always do slip
up somewhere and leave evidence be-
hind them. Yuh'd think Jerry would
have remembered the bullet as well
as the bullet hole"
They found the mark of the second
bullet, too. 1t had struck q telephone
receiver and taken a chip out of it.
They measured with a tape-line the
distance from the floor and the side
walls to the place where each bullet
struck. Tim dug out the bullet they
had found.
They were back in the front room
again when a huge figure appeared in
the doorway and stood there blocking
it.
"Whatta youse doin' here? de-
manded husky voice.
MuldOOn nodded a greeting. "Lo,
Dave. Just lOOkin' around to see the
scene Of the scrap. How about yuh?"
Beat it," ordered Gorilla Dave, his
head thrust forward in a threat.
"Youse got no business here"
Friends av mine" The officer in
dictated the young woman and her IA
Their. ''They wanted to see where Slim
was knocked out. So l showed 'em.
Mo harm DONE"
he ordered again.
In the pocket of Muldoon was a re-
quest of the district attorney for adj
mission to the house for the party, with
an o. X. by the captain of police in
the precinct, but Tim did not show it.
He preferred to let Dave think that he
had been breaking the rules of the
force for the sake Of little private
graft. There was no reason whatever
for warning Durand that they were
aware of the clever trick he had pulled
off in regard to the partition.
