The muzzle of his revolver \frns within • few Inches of my forehead, and' his look told me that a word of alarm or a motion for self defense would be a sig nal for a bullet to go crashing through my brain. “Git up.” he whispered. I stood on my feet “Move on.” It was the dawn of a beautiful spring morning. The perfume of young ver dure, the twitter of birds, an occa sional cock crow In the distance, gave me the thought that It is delightful to live.

I turned and saw Jay cox tumble from the saddle. Running to where he lay. I bent over him and knew at once that 1 looked Into the face Of a dying man. He gave me one malignant look, a shiver pa sscd over him, and Ids eyes were set in death. I looked up and saw Helen standing In the road a short distance back with a carbine In her hands. There was something- in the expression of her face, holding as she did the weapon, a light smoke curling from Its muzzle, that brought vividly before me my ene my with his smoking pistol on thc nlght of the massacre.

I could only draw her tlH^k down •gainst mine and mutely bold it there. Then I showeml kisses on her lips, her cheeks, her forehead, her eyes. Eor the moment I forgot all bat the rever- •nce, the gratitude, the burning jias*, ■Ion, that thrilled me—a passion such as comes but once. If ever, in a life time. Suddenly there came to Helen a re- membratice of our danger. “Mount! Quick!

Jerking off my coat, I wrapped It about my horse’s ears and eyes to present his neighing to those approaching, and Helen, divining my Intention, did the same to her own mount with her Jacket. Then we stood waiting, not a sound escaping from either ua or ‘ our horses, even their panHng deadened by the covering. It waa either life or death, with the Changes in favor of death. We stood, hand In hand, looking straight Into each other's eyes. In that moment of supreme suspense It was ns if buk one being waited for the result An exclamation—they have seen the bonnet! A shout—they have come upon the hat! They .clatter on. Walt A man in the rear is coming. He, too, passes, his horse's hoof beats dying In the distance.

APT AIN BEAUMONT had ar rived but a few minutes before us and when we appeared was attempting to reassure Jack, who had completely collapsed at find ing that both Helen and I had disap peared. He ^rent to Helen and politely offered to assist her to alight. “We must move oat of this at once,” I said. “All depends upon our getting down the mountain and Into aome town, where these villains will not dare follow us. All stay here while I recun uolter.” 1 had nrtf dismounted, and spurred my horse a few hundred yards west ward. where I paused on the verge of the plateau. The sun was rising at my tuick and was {touring a flood of light on the lowlands a thousand feet below. 1 swept my eye over th« rolling fields and wtKtdland dotted with towns, vil lages, hamlets ami many a fair planta tion, with Its manor house surrounded by the huts of the field hands. Far in the distance waa a anakrltke line In the road, moving forward.

Blie was riding on a man’s saddle, sidewise, luckily supported by a high pommel and holster, keepiug her balance as if bred to the “ring.” I reached out my hand. She gave me here to press, and a lover'.s look. Intensified by our dan ger, shot between us. It was only for an Inslant, for so rough was the ground, so numerous the obstructions, that we were obliged to keep our eyes constantly fixed ahead. There had t>e< exciting moments since my first ab duction, but nothing Hke the wild ex hilaration, that thrilled me now. 1 for got the barrier that wus (Still between us. thinking only that If this one ride were successful yeani of happiness might be In store for us.

"I l>u|ie tile delay will not cost us our lives,'' I grumbled. “Now, Ginger^ 1 want yon to go off to the right Just as far as you ran and still keep me In sight.

We may have occasion to use 1 her. You girls keep behind abont the same distance as our flankers. When we get to the creek. Ginger Is to work down It on the right bank, Buck, on the left, while I keep as near the creek as possible. Captain BeauMiit, will you act as rear guard?" “With pleasure, sir.” “nmrgd to sleep,” remarked Jack, “amUbo left behind.” “Not with you In front,” said the cap tain, looking nt her reproachfully. 1 gave the order to move. Making as little poise as imssible, keeping each other In sight, except occasionally when the trees and underbrush we! . 1 too thick, we proceeded to the brow of the plateau. Descending, we soon struck the creek and, under cover of the trees, proceeded downward in open order, walking rapidly, keeping a sharp, lookout ahead and on the flanks. We had not gone far before an owl hooted behind me, and so natural was the cry that, had I not been expecting It, I should fcever have suspected it to have come from the throat of Jaciuellne. Turn ing, I saw both girls pointing upward. On the very edge of the declivity and not far from where we had begun our man- was looking dotni -from' the plateau. We were so protected that he could not see us, for, besides being among the trees, we were in comparative shadow’, a whlle the man above .stood out boldly In the light. He did not look like a guerrilla, but we hurried on. Discovering a great . advantage In Jack's signals, I called in the flankers and Qie rearguard and arranged with Wodld mean ‘'hide,” a! woodpecker’s rapping “rally on the center,” the notes of a thrush “take a back track,” a hen's cackling “push forward In haste.” These signals being perfectly under stood. we oftened again aud advanced like a central sun and satellites. We had made the principal part the descent, when, coming to a lent spot, I ordered a halt for rest, fil ing a confluence that I had Dot felt since my abduction—a Cfipldence I should, not have yielded to, wr we were yet fa^ from safety The place of our halt waa a delightful angle In the Streetn we were following. Jack stroll ed away In search of wild flowers and was soon joined by Captain Beaumont, whose Infatuation prevented him from thinking of aught .else, even our com mon danger. Buck stretched himself under a short mountain oak, clasped his hands under his head, threw one leg over the bent knee of the other and looked straight tip Into the branches. Helen and 1 were thus left alone. We sat down on the bank of the creek in view of the bubbling stream. Taking a slender stick In her hand, Helen be gan to thrash the-water. I saw that she was troubled, and I knew the cause. The barrier between us, which in a moment of Inteflse excitement had faded out of sight, now loomed up again as ominously ns ever. We sat without speaking. Jack and the cap tain were chatting briskly, every now and again speaking loud enough for us to hear some, word that told of the cap tain's enthrallment. The silence be- ttveen Helen and myself grew painful. I could say nothing to break the spell. I could but mutely express what I felt. Reaching out, I took her hand and drew her to me. A shot! — Looking upward to the plateau, I saw a horsrmrfh dashing off To The spur north of us, whore ridge led to the level ground we were approaching. It was plain that we had Itocn discovered, thht (he shot was a signal and the horseman was going to head us off. > The trouble had all come from Buck.

Jt never dies, We suppose, for many cases can be traced back for a number of years. The poison will lire in books for as much as two years, as has been already proven. The per centage of deaths is very high. “We would warn the people to treat every sore throat as if it was a bad case of scarlet fever. This is the only way it can be stopped or controlled. We append below rules of the health board of New York city, which will aid you, should you have a suspicious case, to treat it properly. Carry them out to the letter. Here they are: “ The patient should be placed in a separate room, and no person except the physician, nurse or mother, allowed to enter the room or to touch the bed ding or clothing used in the sick toom until they have been thoroughly die- infected. . “ All clothing, bedding or other articles not absolutely necessary for the use of the patient should be removed trom the sick room. Articles used about the patient, such as sheets, pil- l< w cases, blankets or clothes must not be removed from the sick room until ihey have been disinfected by placing them in a tub with the following dis infecting fluid; Eight ounces of sul- phat« of zinc, one ounce of carbolic acid, three gallows of water. They should be soaked in this fluid for at least an hour and then placed in boil ing water for washing. “ All vessels used for receiving dis charges of patients should have some of the same disinfeclaut fluid constant ly therein and inimediately after being used by the patient should lie emptied and cleansed with boiling water.

He ' l fo not such a man as William licKlnlsy was when it comes to not letting business make his life miserable. The buiden he carries galls Theodore Rooeevelt. His friends nearly every day discover evidences of this fact. Shortness of temper is the chief of these evidences. Even his dearest friends are likely to get a cross word for which the President is very sorry'the minute it is utterefl. Au apo logy follows each manifesting irrita tion, as a nutter of courte. Yesterday ono of his oldest friends in the newspaper business called and received such a rebuke for coming without having made an engagement beforehand that he was almost taken off his feet. When the. President got around to it, he explained that he was so harassed by the men who want of fices and who cannot be suppressed that be has no time for anything. Like Gen. Harnson, the elder, Roosevelt started in with the intention of seeing every man, no matter how flimsy the excuse for desiring to take up bis time. Naturally the stream of callers grows. Some time soon even such a strong man as Roosevelt will have to bow to the unwritten rules that govern the “ solitary man ” in the White House and preserve his energies for those subjects and men, too, who have a claim upon him.

When the stom ach is ^diseased there is a failure . to extract the nutrition from food and the body grows weak. The weak body needs strengthening, not stimulating. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, so that the nutrition of. food is perfectly ex tracted and assimilated and the body nourished into health and strength. There is no alcohol in " Golden Medical Discovery,” and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics.
