I»14, BV JOHN FLEMING WILSON She thanked hire, and together they entered the elevator and were lifted to their floor. In the hallway Ruth grave ly shook bands and said "Good night." John tried to hold her little h.:nd long er than was needful, but she shook her head and slipped away to her own room, just down a short ball. He watched her open the door and turned ti go to his own room when a thought *tmck him. and he called gently. ' Rnthr She came back quietly. "I'm so glad you called me." she said, with evident nervousness. "After all. it's ridiculous ly early to go to bed. go tor a ride some more." They went out through Golden Gate park and after a brief stop on the bright beach came back, into town by way of the Presidio. Ruth was BOW quieted, and as they got out at the hotel she sighed hap pily. "That was beautiful. John," she said. At the desk the clerk handed Johu a cote addressed in a crabbed hand. He tors tt open, glnuced at the contents and turned to Rnth. "Old Tom Kane got here tonightT' be exclaimed. "He came while we were out nnd left this note for me." Ruth's face lit up wonderfully. "Where is he? Where is he:" she de manded. "1 want to see him." At her door be left her with a hasty "I'll be right In as soon as Tom comes, Rath." "All right!" she called back, and opened her door as he opened his own. She paused on the threshold at the sight within. A tell man in a light mask was delving into the desk and rummaging among her papers and be longings. At the sight of her he quick ly thrust a bundle of papers Into his pocket and slipped toward the open window. Then Ruth understood and screamed for help. John Dorr heard that call and In three bounds was In her room. She pointed to the open window, gasping: "Tlist way! The thief! He stole the deeds!" Without a word Dorr leaped to the window. It opened on a fire escape. He peered down. No one. He looked pp. A slight figure was mounting j A'llckly and silently toward the roof. Within another instant. John had swung himself out on the ladder and was climbing rapidly after the un known housebreaker. He paid no at tention to Ruth's agonised cry after him: "John: John: Don't go after him: He'll hurt your' Helpless'y she peered out of the win down and saw the two figures going swiftly up toward the crest of the building. The seconds seemed hours ns she watched. Then she saw John stnmble and catch himself. That de tided her. She picked up her skirts and stepped out on the platform her self. Then she gingerly swung her self out on the iron ladder and com mence*! to climb upward. She saw the thief reach the cornice and crawl over, then John. She struggled on up sob bing'#. bruising her tender hands on the rusty rods. Once or twice she stopped and called: "John! John:" There was no answer. Then she reaKzed that there was an ;!ier on the ladder below her. She nearly lost her grip and fell. Surely t must be some accomplice of the thief! She hastened her way up the adder, not daring to look down again. At last she gained the cornice, where the ladder 1 cut suddenly outward and she must perforce almost hang sus pended by her hands. But she man aged to surmount this difficulty and stumbled forward on the roof of the iiotel. At first glance she saw no one. The roof wa« huge, broken here and there by skylights and chimneys and air ♦hafts. The shadows east by the moon say dark and strange across the tarry jravel. "John. John!" she called softly. Then again, in terror, she cried shrilly: "John! Oh. John:" At that moment the figure of the masked man slipped from behind one »f the chimneys and made for the fire She realized that he was es raplcg. Where was John? She wnv *red. Could he be killed?

MONDAY KVENING, RARRISBURG iSBB TELEGRAPH JANUARY 11,1915 man making for the ladder, and ha paused at the sight of that eerie figure. The hesitation was fatal to his pur pose. Dorr darted across the roof and grasped for him. With a swift turu the thief leaped over a skylight a.nd commenced to run hither and thither, trying to evade John, who was not to he put off now that he had full sight of his quarry. Ruth watched the chase with hands tensely ctasped over her bosom. She could not stir from her position In the full moonlight, near the edge of the roof, nor did she move when Dorr fin ally caught his uian and tripped him. They fell together on the roof and rolled over and over. e«ch trying to balk the other of a good hold. The fighting was furious, for Pell, still un der the spell of drugs. was possessed of tremendous strength which even Dorr's hard muscles could not over come. Suddenly Ruth heard a familiar voice behiud her saying. "I'll be dad blamed If It alu't a fight:" She did nol turn. Her eyes were fixed on the two writhing men. Suddenly Pell started to roll over to ward the edge of the roof, drnggiug John after him. This new danger ap palled the girl. She watched with fas cinated eyes. John Dorr was well out of breath by this time and knew his man. It was a desperate struggle, for the thief was fighting for his freedom and possibly his life. So Dorr settled down to hold him until his wild strength ebbed and he could handle him. Henry Pell, on the other hand, knew precisely his plight and saw with ex actness what would happen to him un less he escaped the huge arms that tied him down. I.lke all men of his class, he was averse to carrying weap ons. Tonight he cursed himself for be ing unarmed. One shot, the fire escape and away: That being impossible, he planned another mode of getting away. In pursuance of It, he gradually work ed himself nearer and nearer to the escape ladder. If he could once get Ills hands on those Irou rails and swing himself over, his assailant must in evitably either let go or drop over. Pell knew the steel strength of his own arms, practiced for years In just such tricks. But the presence of a second man right in front of the ladder, as he perceived through his blurred eyes, rendered that hope out of the ques tion. In desperate fury he kicked Dorr violently, tore one arm loose and drove his bony fist like a bullet into John's throat. This forced Dorr for the moment to let him go. Pell rushed swiftly toward the ladder. He was halted by the sight of a perfectly level gun held in the hand of a man who evidently knew how to use It. He darted back, and John caught him again, this time with a well directed blow that felled him. A second later the thief was helpless, lying almost at the very edge of the roof. He was trapped and he knew It. There was but one thing to do, get rid of the evidence that he had beeu thieving. With a flirt of his elbow, he managed to send the bundle of papers which had fallen out of his pocket over the coping and into the air. Then he choked up to Dorr. "Are you mad?" ! "Mud?" i»anted Dorr, letting his hold relax. At this moment Ruth came out j of her stupor and ran up to them, fol lowed up by an old man, who had also l * > 3 * s Ik V- Ruth and the Deeds to the Mine. i«me up the fire escape. Ruth cried out. "John:" then "Are you hurt, : John?" "Ruth:" he gasped. Then his eyes iit on the form behind her and he shouted, ."Toui Kuue:" By this time the tumult had attract ed attention in the hotel and a half dozen employees and the house detec tive emerged from the stairway to de mand an explanation. John started to explain, loosening his ! hold «n the prostrate thief, when the I letter with « quick twist of bis lithe I body (reed himself and darted away. ; Dorr s|»ed after him instantly.

This is the season of the year when the Irate householder rushes down to the electric light office and complains about his bill. "Just take a look at that!" shouted one complainant as he slammed the bill down on the cashier's window. "Jt'o twice as much as It was In September when 1 had a house full of company and just the three of us all alone last month, eh?" The cashier took a look as he smiled. "Of course," he nodded, "Quite na turally." "Quite naturally, eh!" snorted Mr. Householder. "1 suppose If I burned candles your bill would be Just " "If you burned candles your bill would be exactly the same proportion," interrupteti the cashier. "That Is you would burn about twice as many candles in December as you did in Sep- CASTORIA For Infants and Children Thi Kind You Haw Always Bought of 6 tember." Then the cashier took down a little chart, handed It to the customer and began to explain. "Just suppose you went to bed at 9 o'clock every night in the year. In September the sun sets at 6:09 p. ni. and it Is dusky at 6:20 p. m., so you have to turn on the electric lights at that hour. This means you would have to burn the lamps two hours and forty minutes before retiring. At the end of the month you would burn the lamps a total of eighty-two hours. Now De cember is the darkest month of tli« year, the sun sets at 4:49 p. m., nnd it begins to get dark or dURky at 3:211 p. m.. so you have to light the lamp*. This makes a total of nearly six hours a clay or 175 hours for the month. So, you see. tii» hours for December lamp light are twlco as many as In Septem ber."
