CIIAPTI3R XIV (Continued). Dfc! NETZf lndlcntcd ETZE stood nearest me, as I have Indicated, Ho, too, seemed suddenly roused from a trancellko state. Ills words, I think, wcro nusslan J they had the Intona tion of 'an oath, tie etood erect enough, clutching his left shoulder with his right hand. Our eyes met, nnd he nodded blank ly, evidencing uncomprehending nurpriso at tho appropriateness of our meeting. Fiom his my eyes traveled on to tho othcis; to Julia, who remnlncd ns if trans fixed upon tho spot where she had stood when first De Nctzo lind raised the alarm ; lo Mrs Mm Chester, nppnrcntly similarly thunderstruck ; to Sovrance. who seemed to have slipped nnd now wns rlBlng from n kneeling posture; to Grady, halted In tho edge of the shadow, his icvolvcr stilt poised for use i and, finally, to my dearest enemy, Von Holzborn, who hnd fallen back ngalnst the ra ling of tho landing, nnd, I thought, had nil but fainted with tho pnln of his wound. As I looked, however, he straightened himself up with nn effort nnd nttempted to walk toward Julln. Ho seemed to have overestimated his strength, for. nftcr a step or two, he tottered nnd would have fallen hut for Kevrnnce, who sprang forward nnd cnught him gently. Von Ilnlzborn's head dropped Imck upon my friend's breast ; his eyes rested upon Sevrance's faco. I heard him say, however, feebly: "Ah, Mr. Sovrance ! Wo are well met, hctnt And your friend, Mr. Traill?" "Is here," Pevrnnce Informed him. "Mr. Trnlll." lie snld calmly, "this is unkind of you, sir. I hnd fancied that you would warn Us, give Us some chanco for our llos. A dastnrdly attnek. Rlr, upon my word !" It was tho one falso move that I ever knew tho man to make. If ho thought, ns It wns npparont ho thought, to shift against us suspicion ns the nuthors of the assault, ho failed signally. Julia, for ono, could never have been turned ngalnst mo by such Insinuations; nnd his own nssoclatc. Do Nelze. spoke up In my defense. "You are mistaken, my friend." ho snld quietly. "Wo owo to Messieurs Traill and Sovrance our lives. They saved ub, it was tho Secret Chnptcr that struck through these others " Von Holzborn glanced swiftly toward Julia, rending her eyes. Sho was looking townrd mo with such nn expression of hope and relief nnd prldo that ho could not mis read It "I beg your pardon, gentlemen," ho gasped "I dare Bay I am a trlflo light of the head. This cursed wound !" And he groaned agnln convincingly. "Let mo down, I beg of you, Mr. Sevrnncc," ho went on. "I cannot stand. I fear they've dono for mo nt last." "You can do nothing," ho Insisted. "It Is not a caso for what you call It? 'first nld to tho Injured.' I nm mortally hurt Nctzc, moti amit" "I am here." "Hall tho JXvosotbi. Toll them to send Doctor Chine." I looked toward Hcart'B DcsTo nnd found her nttontlon still fixed upon mc. And now I felt myself nmpty recompensed for tho dnngcr we had braved for her sake. Her lips moved, as did she, fnlterlngly. I caught tho bare whisper of my name, breathed rather than uttered, "Gordon 1" And In that Instant I wns by her side, my arms a ready haven for her dear and weary form. I believe that no other word wns spoken nt that time I, nt least, heard no more than my nnmc. nut Julia's eyes were elo quent enough. Lifted out of herself by the strain and terror Induced by tho fearful cxperlcnco Just past, she forgot self for tho moment ; and. It not In words, surely by her looks nnd In her attitude, ns sho seemed to droop, like n tired child, toward me, sho gavo hersolf completely Into my keeping, Into my protection. In another breath, I verily bel eve. sho would havo been In my arms, regardless of convention, regardless of Von Holzborn reckless of nil But the Germnn Intervened. Wounded nnd spent though he was. he had lost not a Jot of his clear sentience, not nn ntom of his calculating composure. Nor. I believe, had he lost a look or a gesturo that had passed between Heart's Desire and my self; nnd when tho time was ripo for interference, ho spoke, with an affecting weakness of voice: "Julia !" I fancied that Julia quivered under tho reproach of his tone. Her eyes fell beforo mine, and she turned away with n llttlo sigh. Tho man stared up at her through nar nowed eyelids. "Julln," he said ngaln faintly. She knelt by his side. "Wiat can I do?" she asked unsteadily. "You -ire are badly hurt?" I c ,uld seu that sho Infused feeling Into her words with an effort. "I am dying," Ba'd tho man clearly. "I am done " Ills lids drooped over his eyes ngaln. "I am very cold," ho ndded nlmost inaudlhly.

Ho moved off. with n gesturo Inviting me to Join him. Sernnco took tho glasses ami focused them upon the Mvoanth Hesi tating for nn Instant. I concluded to go with tho Russlnn. If thero wns anything to ho gotten out of Mrs. Morchestcr, I could trust Sevrnnco to do his part. In tho menntlme, tho Russian might let some thing slip In nn Incautious moment. Ho proved, on tho contrary, extremely close-mouthed. Wo visited.

I nm aston ished," he continued, "that they should havo followed us so cunningly; I had thought them outwitted." "Who aro they? Do you know?" Do Nctzo pursed his lips, fnvorlng mo with a keen, sidelong glance, not, howover, devoid of respect nnd liking. "Two o them," ho snld slowly, "you should remember: Sept and Baron von Boiler. They afforded you somo entertain ment upon a night not long ngo. As for tho others, nil thnt I can say Is that they aro members of tho notorious Secret Chap ter. All! what Is It, now?" For I, bending over tho body of tho man whom Sovranco had shot, had cried out In surprise. The fellow was our aged and inqulsttlvo frlcqd of tho Rainbow I I explained tho circumstances briefly, Do Nctzo nodding hla comprehension. "So they tracked us through you." ho de liberated. "That Is tho way of It. Cer tainly wo can speak tills good of the dead, they were acute, won ami. And this old gentleman " Ho laughed unpleasantly, nnd, with a single movement, nnd abruptly, scalped tho patriarch of his silvery whlto wig, expos ing a head of hlnck hair, close-cropped. A tug at each of the heavy nnd overhanging eyebrows removed them nlso. The faco that, sightless and lifeless, stared up to tho stnrs, then seemed to havo lost 20 years; It proved that of a young mnn, not nbove 30. "Very careful nnd cautious!" Do Nctzo commented. His searching of their pockets and pat ting of tholr clothes brought to light noth ing but n pocketbook filled with Bank of England notes nnd a couple of handfuls of sliver nnd gold, with as much moro miscel laneous trash of no Importanco. such as men nre accustomed to cart around In tholr pockets. "Now ns to that automobile." Do Netze pondered aloud, "whero would It bo?" "Impossible to sny," I responded. "Very likely It Is nt a Btop In the roadway some where near Saltacres. That should be looked Into." "I will see to It," tho Russian replied. "If It Is gone wo may tako It as conclutlvo that our friends aro not nil dead. We may yet have troublo with them."

Who am IT TjYhat am IT woman's skirts; but It turned out thnt they were the property of Julia's maid. Eunice by nnmc, whose coming in the Becond boat load, together with Von Holzborn's man, Fritz, nnd the baggage of the party, hnd been planned beforehand. Of the second party was tho ship's sur geon, ono Doctor Chine, a close-lipped, solf-possesBod, darkly sallow llttlo man, nnd a man whom I heard nddrcssed as Captain Keen from which I correctly pre sumed him the cnptnln of tho ityoali. At the time wo were not brought together, nnd 1 got but n fugltlvo Impression of a Bhort, stout nnd unwieldy figure, clothed in n dark uniform and nn nlr of authority, and of a volco of great calibro which was modulated to a husky, throaty roar. De Nctzo hurried forward and got the captain's car, drawing him to one side nnd volubly narrating his version of the at tack. Tho surgeon, on the other hnnd, wns rilled by Julia directly to Von Holzborn's side. Ho had not moro than fallen upon his knees, however, when I heard the Ger man speak, nnd knew thnt he was con scious. An Instant later Julln gently dis engaged hersolf nnd returned to our group, Filtz taking her place. Sho said nothing, taking a Bllent stand by Mrs Morchcster's side. All, Including myself, fell Into nn appre hensive Alienee, watching tho surgeon work over his patient. Von Holzborn Iny at n dlstnnco too great for their words to bo uudlblo to us ; and once, when Sevrnnco npproached with an offer of assistance, China waved him back. A llttlo later Captain Keen wnn beckoned to Join them ; ho stepped forwnrd quickly, dropping on his knees with a deferential manner, nnd listening nttcntlvoly to some thing which Von Holzborn had to say. Now and again ho nodded his head and said. "Very well, sir," with an nlr of marked respect not to say of subservi ence I deduced thnt Von Holzborn wns giving orders nnd I was somewhat surprised by tho fact. Nominally, nt least, Lady Her bert was tho employer of Captain Keen; but when I glanced toward her, looking, I've no doubt, my question, Bho nvoldcd my eye. nnd presently turned away, leaning upon tho rail and staring soberly out to flea, her chin cradled In tho hollow of her hand. Unnblo longer to control my Impatience I stepped to hor sldo. "Julia," I began brokenly. Sho made mo pause with an nppeallng gesture. For a moment her oyes wero upon mlno. nnd I fancied that sho was badly frightened, though I know not nt what. "Havo you nothing nt nil to say to mo?" I pleaded. "Only this, Gordon," sho breathed hur riedly, her glanco unconsciously strnylng to Von Holzborn's recumbent form, as though Bho feared that, oven from tho dls tnnco, ho might overhear her "only this, thnt It was good ah, so good of you ! to como to mo. I need you, Gordon, need you!" Her volco broke; sho seemed to strugglo nnd went on. "But I can't talk now I dnro not. I would ask of you just ono thing, for tho present." "And that Is " "Don't leave mo, Oordon ; don't let any thing Induco you to lcavo me !" "Nothing could moko me." I asserted quietly, "not while " "Hush!" Sho Bcomed to shudder with alarm at her audacity. "And one thing more, under no circumstances, Gordon, must you ndmlt that I I over wrote you or sent you word. Your presenco hero Is entirely nccldentnl do you understand?" "Clcnrly," I affirmed. "And, oh ! Gordon, havo a care have a caro how you deal with that man I He Is not " "Lady Herbert, you nro wanted, I be Ilove," I heard Sovrance say quickly. Turning, I saw that his words had been In tho nature of a warning. Von Holz born's man Fritz wns approaching us on tiptoe, almost, with a bearing that made mo bellovo ho had been commissioned to eavesdrop upon our conversation. Ills stolid German countenanco, howover, had borrowed something of his master's Impasslveness. Ho showed no resentment, nor glanced townrd Sevrnnco, but stopped at a little distance, saluted respectfully, and delivered his messnge. Tho Herr Cap tain desired to speak with hor ladyship. Sho turned away without a word and Joined tho group nbout the German's re cumbent form a group which, I now saw, had heen reinforced by De Nctzo. At tho samo tlmo Doctor Chine rose, dusted tho mold from his knees very pre cisely nnd approached us, addressing him self to Mrs. Morchestcr, as tho one member of the party with whom ho was acquainted. Sho mado us known to tho man, and ho ncknowledgcd tho Introduction with a brief and buslness-llko nod and a fleeting, saturnine smile. "Captain von Holzborn," he announced, "Is very seriously wounded I will not say mortally, ns yet. There Is a fighting chance foi him ; wo may ba able to pull him through. But." he amended with caution, "It Is not certain." (CONTINUED TOMORROW.) WILLIE AND THE BEAR GO HOME By Farmer Smith "Now that you have found your little bear, how aro you going to get him home7" asked Willie Hunter's father, after they had walked a little ways from whero they had found tho Little Brown Bear. "I nm going to carry him," Bald Willie, proudly. On and on the llttlo fellow trudged, hold ing on tighter and tighter to the shaggy bundlo In hla arms, which by this time seemed to weigh a ton. "What If mother will not let you keep the Little Brown Bear, as you call him?" suggested Willie's father. "Oh, fathe.-, she could not be so cruel. Think of the poor little lonesome fellow: surely mother cannot say 'no' to my having a pet. Why. father, dear, do you think of such a thing?" Willie's face was wreathed in sorrow. He stopped and put down tho precious bun dle. When they started on their way again the Little Brown Bear walked along behind them. Poor fellow! Little did his tiny bear mind realize what was to happen to him I v, Branch Club News Thelma Kountz and Thelma Chandler, of Trinity place, have organized the "Glad Rainbows."

After tho excesses of Artschlbnschoft It Is some thing of n relief to turn to Gonchnrov'n "Oblomov," which Is nulto ns penetrating nn analysis of Russian chnractef, with much more humor nnd clcnnllncss. "Oblomov" was so popular, nnd tho Russian Is so apt to see himself In extravagant characteriza tion, that the name passed Into common Innguago nnd a dilatory, lazy waster of fine opportunities wns said to bo attacked by oblomovlsm At page 93, If wo remember, tho protagonist has not yet risen from his bed.

To be sure, nothing but humor could carry such n book along it Is not full of punch or action, nnd tho author must havo had somo deep purpose In mind, because the Introduction of types Is a bit stilted nnd Infcllcltlous. Gonchnrov stems from the older tradition of Russlnn writers, but Is secondary. That Is why his book, destined never to be a torch, Bhl nes with a pleasant nnd enjoyable light. Tho translation is easier than most from tho Russian, nnd goes to tho credit of C. J. Hogarth. Tho Imprint Is that of Macmlllan. War books, presumably, aro to continue. Mr. Frcdcrlo Coleman, an American mo tor enthusiast, took a car Into France, and In "From Mons to Ypres with General French" ho tells what happened to him, but so quietly and with such a riot of Inci dent thnt tho story Is really of what hap pened on tho famous retreat to tho nrmlei of Kngtnnd. It Is very seldom thnt tho reactions of nn ordlnnry man nro told In an ordinary manner. War stories are all too special. TIiIb one Is regular. Mr. Cole man has normal fears, hopes nnd, If any thing Is nbnormnl nbout him, It Is his ca pacity for taking things In. Tho book Is sadly written,, but to mnko lltcraturo of It would be to tako away part ot lta at mosphcro of reality, Tho author served as chauffeur nnd later In other departments.

The whole Is vivid nnd Interesting If ono Is up on tho war. (Dodd, Mead & Co.) Moro than one excellent book have been published recently about Rudyard Kipling. Tho best Is by John Palmer, a little, In cisive study packed with meaning. Tho other extreme Is reached by Mr. R. Thurs ton Hopkins, whoso long, discursive and somowhat pointless literary appreciation Is published by Stokes. It can bo said for Mr. Hopkins that he started to form a "com monplace book" and Inadvertently fancied himself doing criticism. Of the latter the book contains much In quotations. Tho anecdotes are Interesting. But the book bears nn air of Intellectual snobbery. Wo expect our attention to be cntled to tho sun and the stars, which, as Is commonly known, seldom appear at tho same time. No ono will find In tho book any glimmer ing of an Idea concerning Kipling as a phenomenon in England and In English lit erature. Tho scml-scandalous successes nro mentioned, but tho mennlng Is left out. Mr. Hopkins might mako a good realistic novel ist of the present school. For pointless massing of detnll his work Ib a master piece. In fairness It might be said that tho work Is interesting. Nlnoty per cent of that goes to R. IC A war book about which thero seems to be no end of controversy Is "Passed by tho Censor." by Wythe Williams, of the New York Times. It Is not n story ot fighting, but a story of how a good corre spondent stnyed In Paris and covered the "story," tho biggest story In tho history of Journalism. Naturally it lacks much. But It has a groat many stories of ex traordinary merit nnd somo very moving descriptions. Many of tho pages are re printed from the paper In which the Btorles first appeared. They are often sloppily written, but moro often tho writing is sim ple as the story. The nuthor does not protrude himself. France nnd Its spirit nro tho effective agents throughout (E. P. Dutton.)

Because thnt book, with Its admirably expressive title, is made up of editorial articles and special articles from the Nation of the past B0 years. The weekly comments nro a. history of tho country In that period, the essays are examples of the finer sldo of American lite. What Is so extraordinary Is that the editor, Mr. Gustav Pollak, should have been able to collect hundreds of pages written In the midst of controversy, without any need of adjusting to the testing of time. The uen tlments nre so Just, the expression so supple, that only In tho fowest cases havo tlmo ahd distance made correction necessary.
