WELL, my dears, It's n funny world,
and don't make any mistake about it
nhen'you size It up. And every minute
and hour funny things ate happening.
Here Is one of tho latest: Thei e Is a cer
tain "man In our town" who Is cinzy over
movies; In fact, so devoted Is he to this
pastime that he scans tho papers for
new ahd Interesting pictures each day,
and he and his wife (who, fortunately,
likes them also) go all over the city to
Itrange and out-of-the-way places that he
may see the particular picture he has
Ht his mind on.
'Well, one day recently they had two
friends 'to dinner, and Hubby having, as
Usual, searched the papers, decided that
Playhouse In the nelghbot hood of Rroad
treet and Susquehanna avenue was the
place for that evening. So a taxlcab was
phoned for and the party of four pro
cteded on Its way up Broad stVeet. All
ent well till they came within reach ot
the theatre, when Cabby refused "post,
lutely" to take them anywhere but to a
eomer saloon, which he Insisted was the
proper place to land. All they could say
or do, Cabby would rtot deposit them at
j, the movie. "This Is the place to go,"
f Mid he. And there he lemalned. So
anally they decided they would have to
f Vacate or remain there. I wonder what

ominous follow cd her on up the terrace.
Too vhatisted even to note It nr to caie,
she stiiggeted back tn Clirt Vlll.i. flung

How long? She could tint tell when she
awoke 'again Only she knew- that a dim
light, ns nt evening was glimmering In at
the dourvv.iy. and that her child was in the
bid beside her.
"Cesnfnm '" she called, fo she heard
some one mm ing In tho cave. "Hrlng me
water!"
There came no answer. Beta repeated
the command. A curious, sneering mockery
startled her. Still clad In her loose hrovvn
cloak, belted at the waist for she li.ul
tin own herself upon the bed fully clad she
sat up. peeling by the light of tha fireplace

not with her I would speak, but with you.
And u shall bear me."
II .veinb.i ' i u. d Beatrice startled sud
denly' recognizing the squat nnd brutal
flirure that now. n threat ln every gesture,
approached tho bed "Out! Out of here, I
say' How dare ou enter my house? You
shall pay heavily for this great Insult when
the master conies. Out and away!"
The ugly fellow only laughed menacingly
"N'o, I shall not go, nnd there will bo no

"And oii must hear -rue. for now I. nnd

Beta sprang ftom the bed nnd faced Mm.

He sneered
"lliere will be no shooting.' be answered
coolly. "But there will be spiecb for jou

dumb-stricken woman, his face ablaze with
evil passion.

"Weakling at heart, (ircat boaster, doer

will not permit It I will be ruler here,
If any live to bo ruled 1 And you shall be

Aghast, struck dumb by this wild tempest
of rebellion, Beatrice recoiled. Hln face
showed like a white blur In the gloom.
"Allan '" she gasped "My Allan "
The huge smith laughed n venomous
laugh that echoed through the cave,
Vila' Ye call on the coward?" he
mocked, advancing on her. "On the coward
who cannot hear, apd would not save you It
he could?- Behold now je shall kneel to
me nnd call me master' And my words
from now ye shall obey !"
She snatched for her pistol. It was not
the id. In tho excitement of the past
hours she had f 01 gotten to buckle It on.
She was unarmed.
H'jemba already grasped for he, to
force her down upon the floor, kneeling to
him to make hor call him master.
Already bis strong and bnlry fingers had
all but seized her robe,
But she, lithe and agile, evaded the grip.
To the flro she pptang, She caught up a
flaming stick that lay upon tho hearth,
With n cry she dashed It full Into his glar
ing eyes.
So sudden was the attack that H'jemba
had no time even tn ward It oft with. his
hands. Fair in the face the searching
flame struck home.
Howling, blinded, stricken, he staggered
back; beat the air with vain blows and
retreated toward the door..
As he went he poured upon her a tor
rent of the most hideous Imprecations
known to their speech and they were
many.
Out she, undaunted now, feeling her
power and her strength again, followed
close. And like blows ot a Mall, the sput
tering, flaring flame beat down upon his
head, rfeck, shoulders.
Ilia hair was blazing now; a smell ot
scorched flesh diffused Itself through the
cavern.
"Oo Qo, dog)" ahe shouted, maddened
and furious, Irt consuming rage and hate.
"Coward I Slanderer and Hart Qo, ere
I kill you nowl"
In panic-stricken fright, unable to eee.
trying. . awvajut
tho flio ravaging his hair, the brute half
ran, half fell nut of the cave.
Down the steep path he staggered, jell
ing curses, down, away, anywhere away
from this pursuing fury
But tho woman, outraged In all her In
most snered tenderness, her love for child
and husband, still drove him with the
biasing scourge drove, till the torch was
beaten to extinction drove, tilt the smith
took tefuge In bis own cave.
There, being spent and wearv, she let
him lie nnd howl Kxhausted, terribly
shaken In body and soul. Jet her eye.s
triumphant., she once more climbed the
precipitous path to her own dwelling. Tho
torch she flung away, down the cnnjnn Into
the river
Sho ran tn the far recess of the cave,
found Ciesafam indeed bound and helpless,
and quickly freed her.
The old woman was shaking like 11 leaf,
and could give no coherent account of what
had happened Beta made her lie down
on tho couch, and herself prepared n bowl
of hot broth for the faithful nurse
Then she bethought herself of the pistol
Allan had given her.
"1 must never take that nff again, what
ever happens." said she "But where Is It
now- ?"
In vain she hunted for It on tho table,
the floor, the shelves, and In the closets Al
lan bad built, ln vain she ransacked the
whole cave
The pistol, belt and cartridges all wero
gone

Sl'DDHNLY findUng betself very much
alarmed and shaken. Beatrice sat down
ln tho low chair besldo her bed. and cov
ering her face with both hands tried to
think
The old woman, somewhat rei'mcrrd,
moved about with wotds or pity and In
dignation and sought to make speech with
hi but she paid no heed. N'ow. If ever,
shn had need of self-searching of courage
anil enterprise And all at once she found
Unit, desplto everything, she was only n
woman
Her passion spent sho felt a desnei.ite
tiecil of a man's strength, advice, sapport
In disarray she sat there, strhing to col
lect her reason
Her robe was torn, and her lonscnnl hair,
escaping from Its golden jilns. cascaded all
about her shoulders Loudly ner heart
throbbed, a certain shlverirg bail taken
possession of her. and all at or.co she
noticed that tier brow was burning.
Resolutely she tried to put her vvenkness-
from her and. marshal her thoughts In
tho bid her son still slept nuietlj'. his fat
fist protruding from the clothes, his ruddy,
hcnlthy llttlo face half buried ln the pillow
A great overpowering wave of mother

She thought
' Kvldently some great conspiracy Is

She reflected on the incident of her pistol
and ammunition being stolen
"There can be no doubt that H'.vemli.i

Yet she could see no way clear to ciush
