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.
In an Instant she had gathered his head

WHAT IS A SISSY?
Dear Children I want your helpj I want it right away.
I MUST know as soon as possible what a SISSY is. Can YOU tell me?
I think it is some kind of an animal. I looked in a dictionary and it wasn't
there. I asked our secretary and she laughed.
"The very idea!" she exclaimed. "You a children's editor and don't know
what a sissy is I
"Shame on you!"
I don't dare Jet her see what I am writing.
Oh, yes! I asked a policeman what a sissy is or was and ho said, "Quit
your kidding!"
I know him well, too.
I'll tell you what I will do if you will write and tell me what a "sissy" is,
I'll put your name In the paper or do anything HONORABLE you may suggest.

the rustling of tho wings that seemed to

Grady was leaning with his back to the

In one hnnd, keen eyes Intent on tho wooded
park that stretched Inland. Recognizing In
him a nulllclent sentinel ngalnst another
attack, I Joined the group.
They received mo with subdued greetings.
Scvrance, In nn undertone, Introduced mo
to Mrs. Morchestcr. We nodded, nnd I
touched the tip of a gloved ringer which
she extended. She Impressed mo ns n
neutral Identity, pale nnd colorless, of In
different Importance; and 1 paid her llttlo
heed though there wns Blight need to do
so, for Bho spoke but Inficqucntly.
Do N'etzo, with the glnssei. occasionally
turned nnd stared at tho yacht. As I ap
proached, ha announced;
"Tho bont's returning "
"You nro wounded, Blr?" I nked him.
Ho smiled faintly. "A mere ecrntch
again." ho disclaimed. "They nro unfor
tunate those enemies of mine. It wns n
close call, but" lie bowed ceremoniously
"I had your nsslitnnco, as usual. Another
time," he puraucd speculatively, "they may
havo better luck."
"Mao you Identified them?" I Inquired.
"There's hardly need." ho laughed nerv
ously. "Still I wns about to do no."
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. In turn, ench
of tho fle bodies which lay nbout In tho
llttlo clenrlng, witnesses to our prowess;
nnd each ho examined closely, first for signs
of vitality, afterwards for papors I pro
sutned. Neither was found. The men lay stark,
ono nnd nil cold. At this Do Nctzo nodded
his satisfaction. "If there wcro no more
nbout," he said thoughtfully, "wo might con
sider ourselves fortunate. 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."
"Beggln' your honors' pardons." Grady
put it, "but 'twas myself thot heard nt
ln8to wan av thlm scuttlln' away through
th" bushes, Jlst afthcr th' shindy."
"Ah!" Do Netze nodded. "I fancied as
much."
Presently wo wero Interrupted by tho
arrival of tho boat; a hall from the beach
below npprlscd us of tho fact; and a mo
ment Inter six or eight dark forms made
their way up tho stairs. Among them I
was surprised to notice the Mutter of a
Grovo all year round and can tell us many
wonderful things about the country. They
love the green trees and the flowers and do
not get tired of them. een If they do see
them week In and week out. These little

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."

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

The Ruislan advance U not nttogethcr

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

barely slipped his feet Into tho soft slip

them with tho lenst effort. 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

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

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

New York Times. It Is not n story ot
fighting, but a story of how a good corre

"story," tho biggest story In tho history
of Journalism. Naturally it lacks much.
But It has a groat many stories of ex
