The muzzle of his revolver \frns within

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. Rut they threw over me as well
a contrasting gloom, for It *eouwd oor-
taln that this fair scene was- the last
of those JHftOTMTflt’irwn Trrrhe mvTn.^ry

should ever look u|Kin. My eothfWHtkrtis

Induced by a long period of unreshl

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

A horseman came doshlkg down the
road, pulled up beside Jgjreox's l>ody,
looked around anxiously us though
fearing an ambush, then fcurried back
whence be fame.
With one Impulse Helen Imd I sprang
Into each other’s arms. Oh, the rap

speak to her, to utter eveS a word, an
exclamation expressive of what I felt.
I could only draw her tlH^k down

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*,

as comes but once. If ever, in a life

Suddenly there came to Helen a re-
membratice of our danger.
“Mount! Quick! All depends on put

will kill you the moment they get their

made a circuit, dropping the bonnet

entered the wood, and I, • wheeling,

joined her. Jerking off my coat, I

buck's indiscretion.
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. It seemed,
as a reptile crawls—the cavalry that
we had so nearly caught the day Ite-

Helen ^ind I, riding sid* by aide,
dashed through brush, bet#*vir trees,
over rocks, runnels, rotting trunks of
trees, our only thought to p«t space
between us and our enemies. 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

Wondering If we were followed, I
drew rein and listened. We could dis

far as you ran and still keep me In
sight. Ruck, yon go to the left and do
Hie same, but keep close, for It won't
do for us (> t’J to each other.”
“Jack can make all sorts o' doIbm—
cats, an owls an bird*—so >q’ can’t tell
'em," Bock volunteered.
“Good! 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.
I have no doubt wc should have given
the guerrillas the slip had It uot been

Ha Gives Advic* ABoat the Treat
■Mat of Scarlet Fever
Dr. J. P. Bowdoin, editor of the Ad*
ainville Banner, Georgia, and a phjrei*
cian of wide experience, publiahee the
following in ilia paper:
“Scarlet fever U very dangerous and
contagious, Thtrpoison can be carried
any distance on the hands, clothing,
books, papers, and in every conceiv
able way. 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.
Water cl' sets and privies sbould be

Txdot’s Terrible Temper.—The
Washington correspondent of the
News Mid -Courier says: “ Official
cares do not sit lightly ou tbs shoulders
of tbs PreeideDt. 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.
A well known agricultural writer
says that two things not to do if one
wishes to have faiih in bis neighbors
are, not to trade horses with them and
Made by many a man for taking a drink
atthe bar ia that he needs a bracer. He
feels weak, big stomach is "out of aorta”
and liquor him " feel good. The
tired man who sita
on a pin leapa up
with new energy,
but no one would
say that thia
energy waa evi
dence of t.h®
strength giving
power of a pin.
So with the en
ergy induced by
liquors. Theji,
only spur the body
on, but ^do not
strengthen it.
Strength is made
from food prop
erly digested and
assimilated.
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.
Accept no substitute for "Golden Med
ical Discoverv.” There is no other medi
cine "just as good” for diseases of the
stomach and allied organs.

R<S utuont showed only Irritation at
having bis tete-e-tet* with Jack Inter
rupted.
We had not gone far before we struck
a path running parallel with tbe creek.
which led ua to a hamlet on a road
leading north and south. There were
but half a dozen bouses In the place.
Including a small country store and a
blacksmith shop. Before entering the
town we consulted as to what we
should do.
“Get horres.” I proposed, “If there Is
time.”
“Or n horse and wagon.” said Helen.
“I reckon we better blue,” was Buck's
proposition. < r 1
'• “Lef's get clothes^’ suggested Jack,
“and dress up like village people.”
I looked at- Helen. Jack's proposi
tion appeared to strike her with the
same force It struck me. Of all things
the guerrillas would expect rs to do,
disguising ourselves and going a lx t
the town ns If we belonged there would
be the last. — »
“Done!” I said as we entered the
place. “Scatter. Tell/the people the
guerrillas are after us, and they’ll help
us. We’ll have from 10 to 15 minutes
10 prepHic.”
