With an Involuntary cry and thoughtless of all else except that he had found her, he bounded forward. She heard him coming, shrank convulsively back against the' rock with a cry of dis tress, then raising her hollow eyes saw, who it Was and springing to her feet stood swaying with hands out stretched. Another instant and he had caught her in his arms. "Doris!" he cried fiercely as he strained her to him, searching her wan face and Eunken eyes. She shud dered, clung to him closer, seemed about to lose her. senses, then raising her face to his, smiled. CHAPTER XV. The Rescue. North came up on a run. "Thank the Lord," he exclaimed huskily. "I feel like falling upon my knees and worshiping." Ever alert as a weasel, he looked upon all sides and, upward. "Where is he now?" he demanded. She shook her head. "I do not know. He left' an hour ago^-creeping away among the rocks. He goes and comes as silently as a shadow. Always he seems to be upon the watch, by night as well as by day. I doubt if he ever sleeps." She looked at Alan's torn,garments, bloodstained face and lacerated hands. "Oh, It is too bad, too horrible! And Clay—" She shuddered and covered her face with her palms. "I think I lost my senses for a time last night when that terrible thing happened. He seemed to be falling for hours. Take me away from this place of hideousness." North, pacing restlessly about, •frowned. "Guess we will all have to wait here about^ until we have located this game of ours. For all we know, he may be roosting, somewhere about and waiting for us to set sail. I dare not take you aboard until I know that he is not in a position to interfere. He has given, me a few illustrations of what he can do in the flying line when he wants to—and neither have I for gotten1 poor Putnam as .yet." The wis dom of his position could not be con troverted. Doris must not be risked in the downward flight until the en emy .was either rendered harmless or driven afar.' They muBt wait. .Briefly, she told them of her ordeal. Following the fearful shock of finding herself borne upward by him had en sued a condition of unconsciousness with brief spellB of reason .regained, wherein she, saw them running and falling as they struggled on below in .their 'pursuit, intermitted by blank periods until at last she awakened to find herself in this land of desolation He had not seemed to desire to injure her either upon the flight or after their, arrival here, in fact had handled her no more severely than necessary in transporting her. And after their descent he had laid no. hand upon her," only Btaring at her by the hour from the distance of a yard or two with his greati beetle-like eyes, silent as a gargoyle or a graven idol. Then of a sudden he would arise, listen as though he had heard a sound which •had ho.t registered itself upon her ears, disappear only to later on come creeping back with the stealth of a cat to resume his steadfast gazing. He haid not seemed to notice the bit ter Chill of night and had made no effort to make a fire, and her principal physical sufferings had been caused by the night cold. Neither had he eaten or drank in her presence, and what he was engaged in during his frequent excursions she had ntii idea except when— .» She shuddered, clinging convulsive ly to March, speaking in a broken voice. "I would give years of my life to efface that horrible memory. The moon had arisen fairly high when all at once be became rigid, listened, and his eyes shone-—Oh, with such a light, so uncanny, so vindictive. Tliey Were the eyes Of a coiled serpent, only so much greater than a serpent's and therefore room for infinitely more malice. Then he crept away like a ghost through the shadows of the plateau with wings trailing and I saw him outlined for a moment upon a dis tant pile of rocks ^before he dropped out of sight upon the other side. It was still then as it is now—this un earthly stillness wherein all noises seem faint and far away with no sounding board to emphasize them. Then a cry arose, a cry so awful that for a moment I was paralyzed by the horror of it, and after that came the sounds of a struggle, the voice of a man who Is fighting for his life, hoarse and desperate, together with a strange, croaking sound such as the creature, made that night upon the lawn after' Clay had wounded him. I knew that he had surprised either you or Clay, or possibly both of you, and that somebody would be killed. My strength came back to me as It did when I rushed out to you with the sword and in my desperation I seized a stone and ran towards the place where they were fighting, not knowing what I wrong, Jones. We are not thirteen. We are just twelve.' "Jones, as he drew off his shabby old overcoat, said: "Well, I'll stay anyhow, if only to laugh your wife out of her supersti tious whim.' The First Advertisement. The art of advertising grew from the ancient custom of what we now call "peddlers," crying or announcing the places and dates of the sale of their wares. In 1652, ten years after the first printed English newspaper was published, an advertisement ap peared in the "Mercurlus Politlcus." It related to a poem on Cromwell's re turn from Ireland, giving the date and place of its sale. As more newspapers were print ed, more advertisements were pub lished. A. curious one that appeared about that time ended thus, "Go not else where to be cheated." ri THE would do except that I would aid with all my little might. Then I saw him arise with a dark form In his arms— who it was I could not tell. He beat his way upward until he was very high, so high that he looked no larger than my hand, and then—" She choked and could speak ho more, staring straight ahead with fixed eyes as if fascinated by something far distant— "and then I sank upon this spot and have not left it since. I dared, not go and look—not even in the periods of his absence." She paused and they stood silently, the grewsomeness of It all gripping them as- though they had just awak ened from the spell of a nightmare. Then North's voice aroBe quiet and even as though he were speaking of the most immaterial of things. "Miss Fulton, there is no occasion for fur ther anxiety ,upon your part, for be tween Alan and myself here we will guarantee- you protection from all flying things, man or devil, between here and Jupiter: Yet we must all be prepared for action and each be alert to do bis part—and that part is going to happen pretty quick." He made a slight motion with his head. "He is coming.now. Look to the south."' In stantly their eyes flew in that direc tion. Perhaps a mile away and almost upon a level with the plateau the Fly ing Man was bearing down upon them with the speed of a hawk, flying as he had done during the long chase by the planes, his body almost horizontal! with the earth, hiB wings cutting the air with a rapidity of movement that they could not follow. That he had just discovered them was evidenced by a sudden broad .sweep aside, a halt and a poising, followed by a slow zig zag course towards the edge of the plateau. Two hundred yards away from'them he alighted, and standing -upright and with wings half extended stared at them unwinkingly with great, opalesque eyes. March, his left arm thrown around Doris and his right' hand clasping his revolver, was debat ing as to-whether he should risk one of his remaining three shots at that improbable hitting distance. North was already speeding upon him with the rush of a terrier. For perhaps, ten seconds March, chafing .under the impulse to charge after North, yet not daring to leave the one who was now clinging to him, watched them in absolute fixity. Then as the aviator, now half way across the space, raised his arm for the first shot, .the .flying .one beecame a thing of energy, once more, alert add cun ning. The fury of a jealous ape dis torted his face. With a' leap of in credible quickness he sprang over the ledge and disappeared, and when North, darting up to' 'the edge, peered, over it he saw. hiB prey far below, his wings half shut, falling as an autumn leaf eddies downward from a bough: Close above the surface of the crater lake he spread hlo pinions broad, skimmed over It like a gull and went soaring upward from the momentum of hiB fall. A mile away he alighted upon the side of the opposite moun tain, went' crawling over it upon all. fours with wings trailing, then pick ing up a large, object mounted again. Upon the- table mountain the three: shot quick glances at each other. He was about to bombard them from on high with stones that if they struck their mark would fell them as though stricken by the lightnings, and March, knowing that hie and North would he the objects of the attack, thrust Doris from him and stepped forth upon the cleared space that lay before him. High above them the flying one poised, beatings the air as an eagle hovers above the basking "flab as he achieves a position of absolute perpendicular ity, then released the missile. Straight down upon North it shot, but the aviator darting aside with the quickness of a weasel, dodged it by a. dozen feet, yet escaping being, be headed in its clanging rebound by the breadth of a hand. The next instant both revolvers spoke. Three hundred, feet above! them they saw him flap convulsiv ly like a wild fowl that feels the sudden sting of lead, wheel in a broad circle, and then go lurching over the abyss with spas modic beating of his wings. A grim smile came creeping over the face of North: "We touched him up.hard that time. Now once again, before he gets out of range." Again the mountains reverberated to the double roar and the Flying Man, collapsing in midair, turned a complete summersault as he had done that day when the mortars were loosed against him. But this time there was no recovery. Whirling, spinning, turning dizzily, his great wings now fluttering impotently, he struck the lake in a spout. of spray that shot high upward, sank, arose, floated for a moment borne up by his wide pinions, then disappeared in the depthB of the blue waters hs a shadow merges with the shade. "And Lake Talo 1b bottomless. The scientists will never even get his body to speculate over," muttered March. North turned his tense face upon them. "Anyway there are three eye wit Disputed, But How General Wolseley and War Cor respondent Conducted Acrimonious Quarrel in the Newspapers. One or two of the, notices of Lord Wolseley's career mention the pro tracted dispute between Wolseley and Sir William Russell as to the behavior of the troops in South Africa in 1879. Russell had accused the troops of drunkenness and looting in no uncer tain terms. Wolseley defended his men with generbus warmth, but the manner In which both Wolseley £nd Russell kept their regard for each oth er, each well knowing that the other spoke in sincerity, was a model of how a dispute of principle should be conducted between public men. Sir John Tennlel in Punch charm ingly hit off this polite yet furious quarrel in a cartoon. The .cartoon was headed, "The Art of Politeness," and underneath were the words: Sir Garnet Wolseley—Pardon me, my dear doctor, if I say that you have MANCHESTER DEMOCRAT, nesses who can testify at the coro ner's inquest, and when it comes to applying for that little old reward," he said grimly. "And it will make respectable sum when divided up pro rata amongst us, Put's widow', and a slice for the other boys who did not happen to be in at the death. Also today sees the last flight of one erst while aviator named North. 1 ta'e had enough of skyscraping to last for one lifetime. I am going to get mar ried and live happily in a hole in the ground forever after." He pointed Into the air. "Imlay is coming. He must have heard our guns. He can take one of you .'down and I will guarantee the safe descent of the other." A. grin overspread his face. "You two .seem to be having your own troubles/and °i guess I'll fade into the perspective for a moment if you think you cafi spare. me. And my blessings upon you." He turned his back upon them and was gone behind the rocks. CHAPTER XVI. •T' The End. Doris was In March's arms, her tremblings vanished by that strong clasp, the horror that had filled -her eyes gone, her sweet face upturned to his. "But tell me," he was whispering. "Poor Clay—he lost his mental poise at the last and said many wild things. Was-there any understanding between you—you know what I mean,, Doris were you—" He hesitated, turning his eyes upon the distant speck floating in the sky, which he knew to be'Im lay speeding towards them. Her face grew very grave and her voice was low as she anticipated the word he disliked to speak. "No—we Were good friends, nothing more. He asked me to .marry him upon the Sunday of the pursuit and I told him I would answer him by letter upon the following day. He had al ways been so kind to me that I did not have the courage to refuse him to his face—and he was so strange in many ways. In my letter I told him that I could not accept, begging the privilege of his continued friendship. He accepted the answer calmly, mere ly renewing his avowals of devotion and repeating that he would give all—: even to. his life—for me." Her eyes swam mlBtily. "And the horror of it! He kept his word." •. "He loved you devotedly and did all that a brave man could for you, Dor-, is," said March gently. She nodded.: ,"l understand. And bis memory— what can one say! She ran her'fin gers lightly across his matted hair, where the bullet had. raked his skull/ 2^2 Again the Mountains Reverberated' to the Double Roar. "You were wounded?" she asked soft ly. For the first and laBt time in his life March lied to her. "Yes, an accident—-the accidental discharge of a revolver. But towards the last I thought you loved him most .after all. Ydu never would answer me, you know." She smiled up at him, Doris' old smile, and there was no sweeter one anywhere. "That night upon the lawn when I thought my last hour had come! Did I not leave him and run to your arms? And was that not answer enough?" A faint whistle fell upon their ears, thin, sibilant, momentarily shrilling louder. March glanced southward again. "Imlay is only a mile away and will be here in another minute to take you back—back to the home from which I shall so shortly take you forever, Doris," he said as he drew her closer. Her head was upon his phoulder, her face upturned, her rich lipB but a matter of inches from his own. He claimed them. THE END. been hoaxed by groBS exaggerations and transparent untruths..

"It's true, believe it or not," said the tramp calmly. "A dog took a bite out of my leg, and the compen sation liapt me like a lord for four weeks."

PROPER WASHiNG OF TOWELS Those Used In the Kitchen. Require Especial Treament to^.Be^of,.^ Good Service, Towels used -In the. kitchen should always be rinsed In moderately cool water'and then washed In hot, soapy water. They should be rinsed and then dried In the open air. If time ,1s at premium they need not be Ironed. Probably this laxity would shock many careful housewives, but a clean towel, dried in the open air,: is quite as useful toe drying dishes as 'one that is ironed smooth. One clever woman always saves the coarse sacks that sugar and salt come in—the. big Ones. She rips the Bide seams and hems the ends and uses them for towels for pots and pans. A doll's clothesline, which comes with half a dozen tiny clothespins and two small pulleys, is a convenience for drying kitchen towels. It can be fastened from the Creamed Cod In Potato Case..

In cooking apples It may not be known generally that the more quickly they are cooked after parlnBthe richer and better they are. An apple begins to be discolored as soon as the skin 1b removed, and this discoloration con tinues in the cooking. .As quickly, after paring as possible, put half a dozen apples, sliced, into a pan with two-thirds as much water as the bulk of the apples. Cover them and let them cook as rapidly as possible. Watch them closely tov prevent burn ing, and just as they are falling to pieces put into them two-thirds of a cup of sugar, stirring it quickly.

Keeping Pickles in Glass. Pickles should always be kept glass—never In glazed ware, as the action of the vinegar on the glazing is liable to form ft poisonous compound WHAT THE "A" /STANDS FOR Vs mi the president holds Mr. Palmer, many vanian's aid in seeking office. Here is a story that Is told about One of these affairs "Why don't you go to a member of the cabinet about this?" Mr. Palmer asked a visitor. "You area member of the cabinet that has the most influence," the caller responded. ,Mr. Palmer smiled. "Maybe," he said, "but things are different from the way they used to be. You know when Mi Roosevelt was president, the mem bers of his unofficial cabinet UBed to go walking, horseback riding or played hot games of tennis with him, and while they hoofed it over the country or galloped along the roads or played on the tennis courts they told Teddy of some heroic work done by this foot-all player or that lively westerner, and the president would say 'bully, we'll have to do something for him.' But times have changed. When we go up to the White House now and tell tales like that to Mr. Wilson, ho will enjoy them very much, and when we finish with a flourish he will say, 'How interesting,! but he won't appoint Honestly, I could not do any more to get you a job than you can do yourself.

TWO SUMMERS IN LABRADOR Sayre, Adventurer," might well be the title of a stirring novel of the out-Of-doors describing the two thrilling summers which the husband of the' president's daughter Jessie spent on the Labrador coast helping Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell In, his wonderful work of assisting the for lorn fishermen of that bleak and Ice bound region. The president's son-in-law Is one of those young college graduates of grit and stamina who have'been honored by being allowed to act as assistants. to the famous English missionary physician Another member of the band of stern: and tried yjoung men who form the Grenfell alumni is Dr. Scovllle Clark, once a Yale wrestler, who officiated as one of the ushers at Mr. Sayre's wedding at the White House in Washington. A study of Mr. Sayre shows in him more the characteristics of Theodore Roosevelt than of W^odrow Wilson. He combines the intense'interest in the affairs of the human race with.a love of the wilds which Marked Mr. Taft's predecessor. But to get him to talks of his hairbreadth escapes—that is altogether a different matter. "Oh, yes, I went to Labrador for two summers with Dr. Grenfell—w-orked on board the Stratcona, one of the doctor's ships—did hospital work mostly —kept pretty busy." ,, '*. "But, Mr. Sayre, didn't you have some adventures? Didn't'you ever' have your boat upBet In the Icy water, or get lost in the/wild back country?" "Well, once we ran out of food In Newfoundland. We.had a pretty hungry tlme, but we got out ill right." The young man who complains of a lack of opportunities these days should look into the career of John Purroy Mitchell. At thirty-four he is mayor of the greatest city In the nation. And the girl who thinks the opportunities are fewer should look up Mrs. John Purroy Mitchel. At twenty-four she is the wife of the mayor of the great est city in the nation. Surely, there isn't anything in their mutual triumph to prove that opportu nities are any scarcer than they used to be. When a young man travels the road from obscurity to the mayoralty o.f the greatest city in six years the distance through the governorship to the presidency is comparatively short The career of Theodore Roosevelt il lustrates that, and John Purroy Mich el has just as good a start as Theodore Roosevelt had. 100,000 Records of Clouds.
