her, told her fairy tale, laughing at
her credulity, while coldly going for
ward with his own plans.
Deborah grasped all this almost in
stantly, unable to perceive any posi-
bility of escape from the net. Her
limbs trembled, yet she could only
kneel there in silence. watching the
approach of the rider. A wild hope
thrilled into her heart, that perhaps
this man was not all bad; that what
ever his real life might be, he may
have meant to be square with her,
and would yet protect her. Surely he
never had revealed her presence to
these others; perhaps that was why
he had not returned with them, hoping
she might see the strangers, and hide.
His first words sent thrill through
her heart-he was playing part for
her protection.
He refined in his mount sharply,
glancing keenly about, but with face
expressionless as his eyes finally en-
countered the two awaiting him..
"lvhose horse is that?" he asked
inquiringly, indicating the grazing
animal.

Kelleen swung one leg carelessly
over the pommel of his saddle, and
deliberately rolled and Lit cigarette.
His face expressed no emotion, no
particular interest, yet Deborah was
certain the keen, searching eyes had
swept swiftly over her covert, and up
the steep front of the overtowering
cliff. He suspected where she was
hidden, and was endeavoring to pro-
tect her from discovery; but who was
he really playing fair with? was he
trying to deceive both? or merely
playing a desperate game in which a
single slip would mean disaster? Was
he outlaw or honest man? Nothing
in the situation or in the conversation
thus far overheard, gave her certainty.
She dare not move, scarcely venture
to breathe, as she watched the three
men below.
"When is this Casebeer gang ex-

Kansas City, Mo.-(Specif)-A new
discovery which, experts agree, has no
equal for curative effects in all rup-
ture cases, is the latest accomplish
ment of DIR. Andrews, the well known
Hernia specialist of this city. The ex-

Possessor of 100000 Worth of Pictures and

Five Languages and Has Been Knighted
by King of Italy.

the richest personal property owner
in New York City, Mr.. Eli Joseph
does not like the idea at all. His at
torney, in fact, says it is boz
ridiculous and outrageous" to ap-
praise the Joseph effects at $1,000
coo.
This, however, is a matter between
the attorney and the assessors. The
thing of immediate Importance is the
assurance that, not only does Eli Jo-
seph exist, but he has actually been
seen by human eye in and around New
York.
1t is dramatic enough to call him
junk dealer. The thought of a junk
dealer amassing $3,000,O0O worth of
personal effects strikes the magma.
ton two-fisted rap. And it's true.
Mr.. Joseph was a junk dealer--in-
hcrited the business and some millions
Of dollars from his father. During
the war he sold scrap iron and steel
TO Italy, reaping millions more. And
if man who buys up all the scrapped
rails of railroad system at one lick
is junk man-then Eli Joseph is it
Clothes Are Fashionable.
For the rest. he is splendidly built
man of 46, with black hair and black
eyes and small dark moustaclIc. His
shoulders are broad. his height about
five feet eight. His manner is af-
fable, his clothes fashionable. but not
fussy, and his birthplace was Cincin.-
natl. I.
How, and it is the natural query,
does a man who comes from sorting
scrap iron find such an interest in
art? The world by now knows that
most of the 100000 appraised by
the assessors is on stupendous COL
lection of paintings by old masters,
now stored in the Madison avenue
house. These include pictures from
the brush of Correggio, Veronese and
Cortez.
The exact truth knocks a bit of the
drama out of the situation. Mr.. JO-
seph inherited an artistic taste with
the million or so which he inherited
from his father-and he cultivated
that taste at Harvard. He speaks.
by the way. five languages.
During the war, Joseph served on
the scrap iron and steel committee of
the War Industry Board; he was
Lnighted by the king of Italy for the
dispatch with which hesshipped steel.
and he equipped, at a cost to himself
IF 100000. some two thousand volun-
teer firemen to take the place of the
regular firemen who joined the
army.

Washington, ID. C., Oct. g.
Bridge scores, fall wardrobes and the
ubiquitous "he" subjects of feminine
conversation gave place here this
week to health topics.
The capital rode the crest of a
wave of health interest which is
sweeping the country.
The visit of Sir Nelson Bukh and
his troup of fourteen Danish dam
sells, the sessions of the world dairy
congress and another of those always
interesting reports of the cbildren's
bureau this time. on coffee drinking
among children-servcd TO concentrate
attention on health subjects.
: The fourteen Danish girls, each
with the complexion of milk maid
and the manners of n duchess, have
proved to the capital that one may

proved just as sl,illful as in the
physical culture demonstrations that
they gave on the Ellipse. the park
space just in back of the White

Sir Nelson Bukh, who brought
them to this country at the behest of
the Russell Sage foundation. for the
purpose of promoting interest in ply
steal education, is n man of great
note in his home country.
To Tour South.
He was knighted by thek ing for
originating system of physical cul-
ture said to surpass that of the fam
GUS Swedish school.
He will take his troupe OF girls
and a corresponding number of young
men on a tour of the South and Mid
dle-West. giving demonstrations OF
his theories Mt each of the schools
and colleges en- route.
Neither he nor the young people
accompanying him will receive COM
pensation of any sort.
The tour is being made solely for
the purpose of promoting friendship
between the two countries.
All of the girls have been raised on
farms and all can milk a COW and play
the piano with equal ease.
Bukh's system develops both the
mind and body and instils whole
some respect for useful work.
The girls are proud of being "farm.
ers' daughters" and to understand
this little must be told about the
typical farmer of Denmark.
He is unlike any agriculturist in
any other country.
They are really gentleman farm

The farmers party or gaarmande"
is the most powerful political party
in Denmark.
The farmers have used this power
TO obtain education for their chill
