 The cornered gangman took a chance. He ducked for the shelter of the desk, tore open drawer and snatched out an automatic.
 Simultaneously the cowpuncher pressed the button beside the door and plunged the room in darkness. He side-stepped swiftly and without noise.
 A flash of lightning split the black ness.
 Clay dropped to his knees and crawled away. Another bolt, with its accompanying roar, famed out
 Still the westerner did not fire in an- swer, though he knew just where the target for his bullet was. A plan had come to him. In the blackneSs of that room one might empty his revolver and not score hit. To wait was to take chance of being potted. but he did not want the death of even such a ruffian as Durand on his. soul.
 The crash of the automatic and the rattle of glass filled the room. Jerry, blazing away at some fancied sound, had shattered the window.
 Followed long silence. Durand was resolved to wait until his enemy grew restless and betrayed himself.
 The delay became a test of moral stamina The contest was not one of grit, but of that untlawed nerve which is so much the result of perfect physi- cal fitness. Clay's years of clean life on the desert counted heavily now. He was master of himself, though his mouth was dry as a whisper and there were goose quills on his flesh.
 But Durand, used to the fetid at

 "No; he sidesteps 1t this aft with a fairy tale about drlvin' a rich old dame out to Yonkers. All the time he was figurin on pinchin' this goil for Jerry. He's rotten crook"

 Annie lifted her hands in little gesture of despair. ''Pm dead sick of this game What's there in 1t? live straight and eat in a beanery. No lobster palaces In mine. Look at me cheap duds.

 You've got yore chance now, An nie. Tim will hop off that fence he's on and light a runnin' straight for you if he thinks you've ditched Slim Jim. You don't owe Jerry Durand anything, anyhow. Where would he have Kitty taken? You can give a guess"
 She had made her decision before she spoke. Gimme paper and pen cil."
 On Clay's notebook she scrawled hur- riedly an address.
 "Jim'd crOak me if he knew I'd given this," she said, looking straight at the cattleman.
 Hell never know-and I'll never forget it, Annie." ..
 Clay left her and turned to the driver From the slip of paper in his hand he read aloud an address.
 AS Clay slammed the door shut and the car moved forward he had an i'm pression of something gone wrong, of cog in his plans slipped somewhere. For Annie. standing in the rain un- der sputtering misty street light, showed a face stricken with fear.
 Her dilated eyes were fixed on the driver of the taxicab.

Long Way to "Temporary."

The debt of English to the Latin tongue had been the subject of dis cuSSion in class. Fluctuate, tempo rary, pedestrian, fortitude, and other common words were talked of, and their Latin origin and meaning traced. Then came practical application.
 "Use 'fuctuate' in sentence, John," said the teacher.
 "The price of Liberty bonds f1uctu- ates," contributed John.
 Good" said teacher. use tempo rary,' Anne."
 Anne, musically inclined, was equal to the occasion. Its long, long way to temporary" she volunteered.

One of BOsswOrth's young sprouts was coming home about twelve o'clock the other night on the south road, and just as he got even with the grave yard the engine went dead. But he said he got so scared when he saw where he was that he shook the car so badly the durned old thing thought the motor was running, and came clear to town before it discovered it's mis- take-Science and Invention Maga- zine.

Johnnie's case was not so hopeless as he imagined 1t.
 
 Over their goodnight smoke Clay gave warning. Keep yore eyes open, Johnnie. I was trailed to the house today by one of the fellows with Durand the night I called on him. It spells trouble. I reckon the 'Paches are going to leave the reservation again.
 Say. Clay, ain't you gettin' home sick for the whinin' of rawhide? |? Wha's the matter with us hittin' the dust for good old Tucson? I'd sure like to chase cOwtails again."
 You can go, Johnnie. I'm not ready yet-quite. And when I go it won't be because of any rattlesnake in the grass"
 "Whadyou mean I can go? If this Jerry Durand's trying to get you I'll be there follOwin' yore dust, old scout" ["
 There's more than one way to skin a cat. Mebbe the fellow means to strike at me through you or Kitty. I've mind to put you both on a train for the B-in-a-Box ranch"
 You can put the li'l' girl on a train. You can't put me on none less'n you go too," answered his shadow. stoutly.
 ''Then see you don't get drawn into any quarrels while you and Kitty are away from the house. Stick to the lighted streets. I think I'll speak to her about not lettin' any strange man talk to her. think she had better not go out unless one of us is with her."
 Suits me. And don't you take any chances, old-timer. That goes double. I'm the cautious guy in this outfit. not you"
 Within twenty-four hours Clay heard some one pounding wildly on the outer door of the apartment and the voice Of the cautious guy imploring haste.
 "Lemme in, Clay. Hurry, Hurry T" he shouted.
 Lindsay was at the door in four strides, but he did not need to see the stricken woe of his friends face to guess what had occurred. For Johnnie and Kitty had started together to see a picture play two hours earlier.
 "They done took Kitty-in an auto." he gasped. Right before my eyes. Claimed lady had tainted"
 "Who took herr"
 "I dunno. Some men. Turned the trick slick, me never liftin' a hand. Ain't I a heluva man?"
 Hold yore hawsses, son. Don't get excited. Begin at the beginnin' and tell me all about it." Clay told him, quietly.
 "We was cOmin' home an I took Kitty into that Red Star drug store for to get her some ice cream. Well. right after that heerd man say how the lady had fainted-"
 "What lady?"
 "The lady in the machine"
 Were you in the drug store?
 "No. Wed jes' come out when this here automobile drew up an a man jumped out hollerin' the lady had tainted and would I bring a glass O water from the drug store. Course got jump on me and Kitty she moved up closeter to the car to hep if she could. When I got back to the walk with the water the man was hoppin' back into the car. It was already mov- in. He slammed the door shut and 1t went up the street like greased light nin'."

 Clay slipped a revolver under his belt. He slid into a street coat. Then he got police headquarters on the wire and notified the office of what had taken place.

T was smoking my pipe when
 it came to me"
Which may, or may not, be a boost for Edgeworth

How many good ideas are born in . pipe of tobacco! There is something in the calm contentment of smoking pipe that seems to open up the mind for new ideas.
 A busy man, a thinker, whose brain is crisscrossed with thousand i'm pressions, finds that smoking his pipe wipes out most of the confusion, and leaves his mind clean, so that the new idea, the inspiration, has a much better chance to make its impression as if pipe-smoking wiped all the chalk-marks from the blackboard of the mind and invited new ideas, new thoughts, and creative plans to out line themselves thereon.
 Lots of men get good ideas when shaving. Many more find their new ideas when pufing away at the pipe.
 The right kind of tobacco is an i'm portant matter to a pipe-smoker- though, like breathing, he seldom thinks of it. Having settled on cer- tain brand, it becomes a habit to buy that. If the tobacco just suits his taste, it doesn t matter what its name is or what it costs-it becomes his tobacco.
 Edgeworth suits many men. We presume there are some men who wouldn't like Edgeworth. It is a

 We want those men to try Edge worth. We would like to hand them our pouch personally, but as that is impossible, we'll do what we can.
 The makers of Edgeworth will send free samples to any pipe-smoker who will ask for them. Simply send postal or note asking for these free samples and they'll come to you by the first mail.
 Edgeworth comes in two forms Ready-Rubbed and Plug Slice. In either form it is moist, fragrant to- bacco that packs nicely, lights quickly and burns freely and evenly.
 We can't promise that Edgeworth will make brilliant ideas come to you; but we are sure you will have de ightful smoke-and after all, that's all that good tobacco is supposed to give.
 For free samples, address your pos tai or letter to Larus & Brother Com pany, A South 21st Street, Rich mond, Va. If you will mention the name and address of the dealer from whom you usually buy your tobacco, your courtesy will be appreciated.
 To Retail Tobacco Merchants your jobber cannot supply you with Edgeworth, Larus 6 Brother Com pany will gladly send you prepaid by parcel post one or two-dozen car ton of any size of Edgeworth Plug Slice or Ready-Rubbed for the same price you would pay the jobber.
