NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

They had reached the shrine--a little alcoye in rotting mass of brick and plaster. Beneath 1t ex- tended stone seat whereon the way farer might kneel or sit.
 They sat down and Doria began to smoke his usual Tuscan cigar. His depression increased and with il Brendon's astonishment The man titude to his wife she had already suggested toward him.
 I'll volto sciolto ed i pensieri stretti," declared Giuseppe with gloom. That is to say her counten- ance may be clear, but her thoughts are dark'-too dark to tell me-her husband"
 Perhaps she fears you a little. A woman is always helpless before a man who keeps his own secrets hid- den"
 Helpless? Far from it. She is a self controlled, efficient, hard-headed woman. Her loveliness is a curtain. You have not yet got behind that. You loved her, but she did not love you. She loved me and married me. And 1t is I who. know her character, not you. She is very clever and pre- tends 6 great deal more than she feels. If she makes you think she is unhappy and helpless, she does 1t on purpose. She may be unhappy, be- cause to keep secrets is often to court unhappiness; but she is not helpless at all. Her eyes look help less. her mouth never. There IS power and will between her teeth.'
 why do you speak of secrets?"
 .Because you did. I have no se- crets. IL is Jenny, my wife, who has secrets. tell you this. She knows all about the red man. She is as deep as hell"
 Brendon could hardly believe his ears, but the Italian appeared very much in earnest He chattered on for some time. Then he looked at his watch and declared that he must descend.
 .The steamer is. coming soon," he said. Now leave you and I hope that I have done good. Think how to help me and yourself. What sh' TOW feels to you cannot tell. Your turn may come. I trust so. I am not at all jealous. But be warned. This red man--he is no friend to YOU or me. You seek him again to- day. So be it. And if you ind him, be careful of your skin. Not that a man can protect his skin against fate. We meet at supper
 He swung away, singing a can zonet and quickly vanished. while Brendon, overwhelmed by this extra ordinary conversation, sat for an hour motionless and deep in thought.
 He considered now his own course of action, and presently proceeded to the region in which Robert Red mayne had been most frequently re- ported.
 Brendon climbed steadily upward | and presently sat down to rest upon D little, lofty plateau where, in the | mountain scrub, grew lilies of the valley and white sun-rose.

Many hours passed and then, after
 night had flooded the hollow, there sounded from close at hand strange
 noises and the intermittent thud of some metal weapon striking the
 earth. The din ascended from a
 rock which lifted it's gray head above a thicket of juniper; and here. while
 to shine whitely under the rising
 moon, a lantern f1ickered and showed two shadows busy above the excava- tion of an oblong hole. They num-
 bled together and dug in turn. Then one dark figure came out into the open, took his bearings, flung lan- tern light on the blazed tree trunk, and advanced to brown, motionless
 hump lying hard by. f'
 The dark, approaching figure saw the object of his search and came forward. His purpose was to bury the victim. whom he had lured hitber before destroying, and then remove any trace that might finger upon the spot where the body lay. He bent down, put his hands to the jacket of the motionless man, and then, as he exerted his strength, a strange. hide ous thing happened. The body under his touch dropped to pieces. It's lead rolled away; it's trunk became d!smembered and he fell backward heaying an amorphous torso into the air. For, exerting the needful pres sure to move a heavy weight, he found none and tumbled to the ground, holding up a coat stuffed with grass. @ p
 The man was on his feet in an in- stant, fearing an ambush but aston- ishment opened his mouth.
 "Corpo di Baeco!" he cried, and the exclamation rang in note of like terror against the cliffs and upon the ear of his com- panion. Neither rascal delayed a moment. Their mingled steps in- stantly rang out; then the chatter faded swiftly upon the night and | silence returned.
 For ten minutes nothing happened Next, out of a lair not fifteen yards from. the distorted dummy, rose 2 figure that shone white as snow un- Ger the moon. Mark Brendon ap- nroached the snare that he himself | Tad set, shook the grass out of his 2oat lifted his hat from the ball of caves it covered, and presently drew ,n his knickerbockers, having emp jed them of their stuffing. He was old and calm. He had learned more han he expected to learn; for that startled exclamation left no doubt at I'll concerning one of the grave-dig- -ers. It was Giuseppe Doria who lad come to move the body, and here seemed little doubt that Bren- ions would-be murderer was the lther.
 The operations of the detective rom the moment that he fell head ong, apparently to rise no more, may ,e briefly chronicled.
 With loaded revolver still in his opponents hand, he could take no isk and fell accordingly. Brendon lad simulated death for a while, but when satisfied of his assailant's de-

The big man, panting from his exertions, ap- preached only to see that his fallen victim showed no sign of life, the other. with his face amid the alpine flowers. remained where he had dropped, his arms outstretched, his hands clenched, his body still, blood running from his mouth.
 The conqueror took careful note of the spot in which he stood and bring ing knife from his pocket bazed the stem of a young tree that rose not very far from his victim. Then above the fallen.

Members of Board Consider Proposed Jump in Minimum Charge From $5 to $s, According to Report.

Members of the water board have under consideration proposed increas- es in water rates so that at least a part of the costs of extensions in water service may be paid for by funds other than those received by the sale of bonds. The rates have not been changed since meters were in- stalled. The present minimum charge is $6, but it is reported that jump to $S is soon to be made. Increased water charges have been suggested by Engineer Allan Hazen.

 If any or all of these things happen, the man who wants an income at sixty can invest his win nings and live on his income quite comfortably. The only argument against this method of acquir- ing an income is the incontrovertible fact that no one has ever done it with any degree of success.
 think the reason for so much wild investing speculation is the true worlds misunderstand- inc about the rate of interest Six per cent is the iagal rate of interest,-that is, man lends money the highest he legally demand as nyfce for the use of his money is six cents for every dollar lent for each year that the debt is unpaid That interest is his income on his investme9s i IS the money paid him for the privilege of using ms money for awhile
 Now from the fact that the law, based on human experience over many hundreds of years' mas ses- %,ed m six cents on the dollar as the reasonaols return man may expect on ms money a e'ea' many people have got hold of the idea 'has s0 ,.. cent ;s the minimum return to which person ;a entitled.

he ceases earning can snap his fingers at the fates Any man can do these things; many men have at- ready done them, and and more are doing them now. But they not done by investing m securities promising large returns at once; they are done by buying the soundest securities the market provides, saving and reirvesting the in- come, and repeating the process till the investor has enough to bring him in good living for ths rest of his life.
 IF I wanted to have an income at sixty, then l this IS what would do. I would say to my
 self: See here. now-ge pencil and figure this out: I'm making, say, $35 week. Now, that isn't much, but sure that can afford te Lay aside S5 of that every week-posxibly more, de- pending on conditions; suppose make it $7 week At that rate, at the end of three years will have than $1 GOO saved-s1 zs1-71, to be exaet-at four per cent compounded annually That is what I would gay to myself, and when had saved about that much I would 20 to my banker and say, T have go much money to invest. What would you advise! 7" And I would for1ow his advice. Then would repeat the prucess till my income from investments became large enough to reinvest. I know that if I adheTed faithfully to this program would be beyond the reach of need at the age of zixty-probahly some time before
 So you .see the way to have income at sixty Is not very different from the notices in the copy books but it is probably much more interesting ts follow out
 As ending let me give some concrete fgurest Suppose a started at the age of twenty five and by setting azide a certain part Gf his weekly salary-say $T . week, as mentioned above, on . salary of $35 . veek-tn he had xzxed $1 poo, fn- vested his savings and then put .ze ouly $3O0 per year after that for investment I have already ssid that at compound interest of only four per cent sum of money VIII double Hxef in eighteen ,yearx In thirty -xx yez3-or in ochcr words, at the age of sixty-one-our man would have invested something like $27.0o0, though he never mznse an investment in his life that brought in mora than four per eent You see, his original $r 200 has quzdrupled, as has the first $300 he invested The next $500 is years interest short of heiug quadrupled, the next k tvo years' interest short, and 90 on.

It's so old-and so true-that there's a great deal of danger that if said right at the start what the secret is no one would read any further. They would probably say to themselves, "Oh, I read that in the copybook when l went to kindergarten" and they would pay just about as much attention to my words as they do now to the half-forgot- ten maxims at the head of the ruled pages in those old books.
 So I think might as well outline some of the other ways by which man can assure him. self of an income at sixty. Here is one: He can borrow money somewhere, go to a broker and buy Sucker Oil or Razmataz Radio on a margin, or perhaps sell short instead of buying that is, risk his money on the
 chance that the stocks he is in-
 terested in will go down in-
 stead of up. Here's another;
 He can go to Pimlico or Laurel
 or the Aqueduct and bet on the
 races. Here's still another: He
 can go somewhere = Juarez,
 say, or Monte Carlo-and try
 roulette. All these are quick
 and easy ways of getting as-

 Now here are some figures: Suppose you wanted to secure for yourself annual income of, say, $1,500, which is not much, to be sure, but which is vastly different from nothing. If your money invested at five per cent, $30000 would bring in this income. Again, suppose you start in at twenty-five to get together this $30,000 by the time you are sixty. You would, if you simply saved the money, have to lay aside annually about $850 to accumulate this But don't forget that as soon as you start in to save you have in. terest working for you.

Wilson Defends
Small Nations

Woodrow Wilson has now been
called upon to accomplish as law
yer what he failed to accomplish
When as the President of the United
States he championed in vain the
cause of "self-determination" at the
Versailles conference.
Eastern Galicia has engaged the
law firm of Wilson and Colby to OBJ
tain for it's provinces political inde-
pendence. Poland has set up mil
itary government over the three pro-
vinces of Lemberg, Stanislaw, and
Tarnopol, although SO per cent of
the population is Rethenian and want
to be friends with Russia rather than
with Poland.
The foreign capitalists who are
especially interested in the rich Cali
clan oil fields are chiefly responsible
for robbing the country of its free
dom. British capitalists have invested
$50,000,00O in these oil lands, French
capitalists, $10,000,000 and Belgian
$5,000,000, and these foreign imperial
lists have fastened the Polish grin on
the country in order to exploit their
holdings for the maximum profit.
Poland has just authorized a dual
form of government in these provinces
and has agreed that a plebiscite be
held within 25 years. But the domi
be free of foreign exploitation now,
free to enjoy what Wilson popularized
before the Versailles treaty as "self
determination" but which has not
been heard of or seen since that time.

May Do Something
AT Next Conference

Chicago-The third of the prelim-
mary conferences between soft coal
operators and miners, intended to
start negotiations for a new con-
tract, followed the other two into
failure. Nothing was accomplished
that could be put down in black on
white but the unofficial feeling was
that the inevitable hagghng and dis
putting is now over with and that the
fourth conference, said to be called
for New York, the latter part of this
month, will see business transacted.
The conference just closed differ
ed from the November and December
conferences in that the operators
concealed their internal difference in
the meetings and presented fairly
united front. In the lobbies, however,
it became plausible to infer that the
four-state group of operators were
less insistent on district (single-state)
agreements than operators outside of
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The west
ern Pennsylvania delegation seemed
the most hard-boiled Of the four
state operator group.
The miners stood inflexibly for the
four-state agreement and a fixed
wage scale free from arbitration
clauses. They were willing to accede
to the suggestion of the federal coal
commission that the present contract
be extended another year to March
81, 1924, but the operators opposed
this. The commission wanted the eX-
ira year in which to gather facts on
the industry on which to base con-
cluSions for ornament peace.
