 Richard, surely this means you. : Into her voice had come again that exquisite note of tenderness.
 There ensued a silence and Hell en, grasping Richards arm with both hands, watched his thoughtful features as he studied Tom Pitt S scrawling-the bold line of nose and brow, the sombre eyes, the sen- sitive mouth and the square jut of chin. A strong face? Yes, de- cidedlyl A good face? Beyond all doubting! Now as my lady sigh ed, Sir Richard turned to look into her uplifted eyes and she saw his mobile lips curve in unexpected ten derness.
 You feel no cold?' he ques- toned.
 No, indeed-oh, nol", she an- swered, bending to peer at the let ter, again. The night is very warm. But what more make you O this rougish message
 Well, this mention O the Haunt ed Mill inspires me to prophecy that verify haunted tis like to be. And so much for this. So come we now to myself and myself"
 And what of me?" she asked.

 And thou art presumptuous! said she, though her voice was kind, caress and not a reproach.
 Second, thou'rt mine own es- pecial housebreaker that, caught i the very act, yet faced me un- daunted-"
 Nay, Richard, I VOW no poor soul was ever more fearful than T."
 Then art braver than I deemed!'' said he, and took her hand in both of his. Also twas to serve thy friend!" Here he raised her hand to his lips and kissed it. My lady nestled closer to Sir Richard, her slim hand still held firmly in his grasp. Again they sat silent, re- luctant to break the peaceful quiet of the enchanted night. At last my lady spoke in voice meek and small:
 And you left your ring where you found it. the ring I had lost to one thought you you left it to ward suspicion from me at peril of your life -. where fore?"
 You were my friend"
 And would be so still" she an- iswered, thy ever grateful friend" "

 T lost it." she answered, turn ing to him in swift surprise. But why do you-?"
 Helen, tell me how you lost it and when?"
 Nay, I'm not sure, yet I think twas when the masked man stayed me in the lane. Mistaking this man for you I grew angry and dashed my purse heath his horses feet, and so fiercely that my gaunt- let flew off and with it, I think, my ring, though I missed it not until next day. But why so grave?"
 Because with his last breath Julian spoke me this warning: ""Ware, Dick, the cat's-eye'" For a moment they sat utterly still, looking upon each other and never a word

 "I'd give much to know!" said he thoughtfully. But enough O this, no more O the past. I'll tell thee of the future"
 What canst thou know of the future, Richard?"

For The Louc Of 4 Lady
By JEFFERY FARNoL

SYNOPSIS: Helen Darcy, in- cenScd and outraged by Sir Richards baselcss insinuations, strikcs hir, in the face with her whip and rides off with Greg cry. Sir Richard concludes that he has misjudgcd her and de- cides on a bold course. He hurries to the village, meets Gregory and tells him that he is determined to marry the beautiful Helen. Richard spies a furtive shadow in the night and follOws-it is Tom Pitt deliver ing a mysterious note addressed to Helen's maid, Betty. Richard finds the note where Tom left it in a garden arbour, when to his surprise Helen approaches him-but Helen is strangely meek and changed, a picture of lovclincss in the bright moon- light.

Chapter g
A RADlANT DAWN

Tonderly but quickly, Sir Richard grasped his lovely burden, Helen kicking feebly and voicing mild pro- tests. Vanished was my lady's naughty spirit and disdain, that fierce temper with which she had struck Sir Richard only a few hours before.
 Why . what ?p she whis- pered.
 The dew he explained. Tt lies heavy and fear for thy pret- ty feet"
 ''Oh, 'tis hateful to abuse my helplessness," but my lady's voice betrayed her utter lack of scorn and it's gentleness surprised even herself.
 Keeping close to the shadows of the garden, Sir Richard carried my lady, and she, nesting within his arms, felt a delightful sense of repose and comfort, so much so that she rested handsome head against Sir Richards shoulder.
 Thus they came to a rustic seat beneath an ancient cherry tree and carefully he placed her upon it, seating himself beside her. Once more he unfolded the letter to the moonlight and together they read it carefully.
 "Our Thomas becomes somewhat vague in places" said Sir Richard
 But" said Helen, pointing to 8 certain line. "this is clear enough, and forthwith she read:
 Should you hear aught of
 his whereabouts, hasten to tell
The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-07-23

shall I ever until my name sbt clean and I myself, mayhap, some thing more worthy"
 Now, looking into his sombrt eyes, she caught her breath as l indeed she had read there some thing beyond expectation wonderful
 And when she had vanished i1tt the house, he strode away, and il his eyes a radiance not of tht dawn.
 And we do pronounce ver-
 dict of wilful murder gainst
 Sir Richard Guyfford of Weare,
 baronet."
 The inquest indeed had been but a perfunctory business. Witness af- ter witness had been called and examined while Richard crouche6 at the judas, had watched, listen cd, and learned many things about himself.
 He was a sot, a careless land lord, man of riot and evil life, a friend of the gypsies, vagabonds thieves and dangerous malefactors
 Viscount Brocklehurst had de scribed his vicious assault upon the dead man. Captain Despard de- posed briefly as to the impending duel. Tom Pitt had told how, al about the fatal hour. he had chanc- ed to see Sir Richard gallop his horse very furiously out of the wood, flourishing pistol in his hand. Then followed evidence as to the fin ding of Sir Richards blood stained cloak.
 And zounds!' muttered Sir Rich ard, never sounded man moro guilty rogue than | But Ton Pitt-you must clap a pistol in my fist to damn me beyond redemption II wonder why?"
 All about him were men wht were eager to drag him to shame full doom more especially Viscount Brocklehurst and Tom Pitt. Anc wherefore? The one had been Jul ian's familiar friend, the other, hi: servant. Then there was his cloak found in the wood and smearee with blood. How came it therei A man had worn it that evening ir the lane. What of Julian's warn. ing against cat's-eye ring-Hel- ems ring, worn on the fatal pisto hand of Julian's murderer?

Writer Deals Harshly
With Men of Medicine

Today physicians fall roughly into
classes, writes T. Swami Harding, in
the Forum. First, there are those
who seek to restrict their practice to
comparatively few patients, charge
high fees, keep regular hours, take
time to search the literature of their
profession and sincerely try to prac-
tice medicine scientifically-a small
class, accused by many Of making
exorbitant charges, an accusation
which, all things considered, is not
true.
Second, those who take all corners,
make comparatively low charges, rush
madly from case to case and claim to
have no time to read or attend meet
ings-a very large class indeed.
third, those who rapidly sink into
slough of lassitude, have salaried
appointments which amount to sine
cures or in private practice do the
least possible work; who are careless,
deliberately unconscientious and too
lazy to use their brains, read, or at
tend meetings, fortunately a small
but yet very nefarious class.

Zinc Causes Paint to
Show Color Variation

A mans puzzlement over a fence
post which he had painted black, but
which turned white every night, was
the starting point of a program of re-
search which has eliminated in the
discovery of number of chemicals
having this remarkable chameleon-
like property scientifically termed
phototropy. Information regarding
these chemicals has now been made
public by the American Chemical So
ciety. The famous fence post was
painted with pigment having zinc
basis.'' 1t would turn black soon
after sunrise each morning, only to
turn white again when darkness came.
Many explanations have been given
for the phenomenon, but scientists
are not yet agreed as to the cause of
it. They have, however, found sew
eral other substances besides the zinc
sulfide, which was in the paint on the
post, that will also change color with
the light. Most of the known photo
tropic liquids are solutions of color
less derivatives of certain dyes. The
solutions are practically colorless in
the dark, but turn the, color Of the
parent dye when exposed to light.

Instrument of Torture
Used in "Good Old Davs''

At the London tower there is still
kept the "cravat" or engine for lock-
ing the hands, head and feet togeth-
err and nicknamed the "Scavvenger's
Daughter" This was made in two
parts, with broad hoop of iron fas-
tened by hinge. The prisoner had to
kneel on the pavement and contract
his body into the smallest possible
space. Then the executioner knelt
ON his shoulders, introduced the hoop
under the victims legs, and COM
pressed the victim closely until he
was able to fasten the ends of the
iron hoop over the small of the back.
The time for this torture was one and
half hours, during which period the
pressure of the infamous device made
the blood gush from the nose, or, even
1t was said, from the victims hands
and feet.-Detroit News.

Odd Samples Of Money
Gathered by Collector

Licorice-soaked tobacco, condensed
milk, grass mats and salt are among
the curious types Of the worlds me.
diums of exchange which are included
in one of the most famous collections
of money in the world. Comprising
more than 10000 specimens, and GOV.
ering a period of 5000 years, these
treasures took Farren Zerbe, an Eng.
lish numismatist, 40 years to gather.
He sold them to an American.
First in the collection is clay due
bill used in Babylon 5000 years ago.
Then there are the first coins minted,
about 700 B. G., and the first paper
money issued by the Chinese in A. D.
1900.
A curious contrast Is that between
a 31-pound copper slab, two feet long
and one foot wide, once worth eight
dalers in Sweden, and a South Indian
gold coin no larger than pinhead
and weighing one grain. Biblical his
tory is represented by specimens OF

All Long for Money

The most universal human longing
is for the possession of money. This
is denied by few, who say principle
Is their real goal, hut the truth of the
statement cannot he reasonably ques-
toned Git is human characteristic
that certain facts we all know TO be
universal are almost universally de-
nied). And the surest way to
acquire money is the exercise of char
acter, honesty, industry, politeness.
Aristocracy of birth is not fair,
and nature accepts nothing that is not
fair. Besides, the best of us date back
in lineage to very bad mess. So
every one has the same chance at
aristocracy. and what we recognize
as the greatest human achievement,
the possession of money.-E. w.

Dumb Animals Used to
Infiict Death Penalty

The guillotine was used in Halifax.
(Eng.) in the Sixteenth century Tor
the execution of criminals. e. Fl. w.
Meyerstein, poet and writer, has called
attention to description of the way
they had in Halifax in the Sixteenth
century of chopping off the heads Of
criminals condemned of horse, cattle,
or sheep stealing. The description is
given in Bishop Gibson's Additions to
Camden's BRITANNIA" (1695). Accord
ing to Halifax law: "If felon was
taken within the liberty with goods
stolen out of the liberties Of the for
est Of Hardwick, he should after three
markets or meeting days within the
town of Halifax, next after his APP
prehension, be taken to the gibbet
there and have his head cut off from
his body" There were provisos that
the thief must be caught In the act
or have the thing stolen on him. or
confess. A miserable thief being duly
found guilty was brought to the scat
fold, and if it were horse, OK, or
any other living creature that he had
stolen, that creature was to be the
executioner. This was the method:
The ak was drawn up by pulley and
fastened with pin to the side of
the scaffold. the beast stolen being
tied by a cord to the pin. Then at the
given moment, when the prisoners
head was across the block, the jurors
who were present would raise each
one hand, and the bailiff would whip
the beast. The movement Of the ami
NAL would draw the pin, when the ak
would drop across the neck Of the
unfortunate thief. If the execution
was not done by beast then the
bailiff or his servant had to cut the
rope releasing the ak.

istoric Records Show
Jews as Fighting Race,


It's singular thing that people in
neral should hold so strongly to the
ea that the Jew is one who practices
. virtue, if it is virtue, Of nom
distance.
There is nothing in history to justify
ch view and, indeed, everything
prove that he was no more meek
than that turbulent, rebellious figure,
Misses. That in the Middle ages and,
laier, In Russia, he was massacred
GRIZZLY and completely and did not hit
back was due to the fact that, having
nq weapons, he could be crushed by
armed mobs and licensed soldiery.
Long before Napoleon placed Jews
al4ong his marshals the fighting quail
ity Of the race was known and praised.
From the days of the Maccabees on
there was no insurgent so much dread
ed by the Roman as the people Of that
narrow littoral that lies between Syria
and the Egyptian outposts.
The story Of the World war is full
or the names of Jews in all the
armies, and very certainly the British
are not soon going to forget the gall
laht soldier from the Amaze forces
who repeatedly swan ashore at CAL
hloli and lighted flares on the beach

Odd Feeling Traced to
Subtle Trick of Mind

The feeling that one has been some
place before when he knows he has
not is known as paramnesia. 1t is COM
mon experience, and, briefly explained,
the reaction depends upon a little
trick of the mind manifested by
momentary loss of sense of time and
space. The individual enters into an
experience or a situation, obtains
fleeing impression of this situation,
then the attention is momentarily at
tracted to something else. The period
of time may be almost infnitesimal.
Then upon the return of the attention
to the original situation this lapse
Of time is lost to the individual and
the period between the two expert
ences seems occasionally to expand
into a long period, even into the re-
mote past. Another explanation, which
is based on more recent psychological
investigations, holds that ones uncon-
scious mind sees much more than the
attentive conscious one and that a
situation, even to its details, may be
taken in without paying direct con-
scious attention to it. Then a moment
later when the faculties Of the con-
scious mind are at work on the STU
alton, the experience seems to have
been experienced before. Here, again,
the lapse of time between the two
impressions may be greatly overesti-
mated and expanded.
