I NEAL of j the NAVY | •: By William Hamilton ]• Osborne ip i 1 (Copyright, 1915, by J WlUinni Hamilton Osborne.) j ' He stopped the car before a 6MM. It was an ordinary dwelling. There was no sign of life about it. The grass in the dooryard was a foot high. Everything appeared unkempt. But in the parlor window was a sign: To let, furnished. Hernandet stepped in |to the dooryard and peered into the ■windows. "We'll let it furnished —free —for a short time." he said. He forced the door and entered. "All the comforts of home," he said, smiling, "fetch in the girl." Back In the city, Neal. off duty once Again, sought Annette at her hotel. ''She's gone again—alone," said Mrs. Hardin, "she would go. She's so rest less she couldn't sit still." Neal smiled. He was not worried. He got a saddle horse and started Mff In the direction taken by Annette. Back In the deserted furnished {house Hernandez still looked about him. "We can hide here till doomsday," lie laughed, "running water, too. Look 4iere. Everything but food —every- thing. Look —yonder on the mantel— •even pen and ink. This place was meant for us." He bowed low. "Ah, my charming friend Senorita Iling jton," he said to Annette who had re covered consciousness and wa3 star ting about her in astonishment, "you have had a long sleep—and pleasant idreams I hope." He drew down the shades and (switched on the light. "See," he added, "you have slept 'till evening—pretty sluggard. And how is your good health. No bones broken. That Is well." Annette did not answer. Suddenly :she leaped to her feet. "Joe," she cried, "Joe Welcher—you here?" 'Tee," returned Hernandet, again "bowing. "Joe is here —he has always been here —with us. Joe Is our good praena. we owe mm much —much." He turned a sneering smile on Wel cher. Annette uttered an exclamation. "Joe —Joe," she cried, "is it —true?" Joe turned away—hi# chest heaving, i !his eye* upon the floor. "Aw, I'm no i jgood," he muttered. "Never mind, Joe, fair one." said ! 'Hernandez. taking from his pocket a 'legal document already carefully pre pared, "we have business at hand. 1 Ibis document —you should really know what It contains. It Is in proper shape. I assure you. A bit soiled per haps. from long disuse In my breast pocket—but well worded. Look —It is complete. It Is even acknowledged before a United States consul In Cen tral America—acknowledged by you, fair one." "It is not," snapped Annette. "Fair Inez here," went on Hernan dez, "signed It Annette Illngton—the consul was quite satisfied that she was you. But —I have erased her sig nature she lackß the cleverness called forgery. And your signature roay be on record somewhere —who "knows. Comparisons are odious. Let us therefore be complete. Take In ihand a pen. my pretty. Sign your name, over this erasure—opposite this seal." "I'll never sign," returned Annette. "You will sign," said Hernandes •evenly, "and you will hand over to us all the evidence you have upon your ■person. Sign." "No," said Annette. "Well and good," went on Hernan dez In honeyed accents. "Beast—* thold her firm. Disobey and the lash for yours." Hernandez took from his coat pocket a piece of cord. He tied ,the ends together. Despite her struggles he fitted this (noose-like cord over Annette's head and thrust Into it a piece of wood. Then he began to twist. "Tell me when you've had enough," lie said. Like a stone from a catapult Joe "Welcher hurled himself across the room and was upon Hernandez In a fash. Under the assault Hernandez retreated violently to the wall, strik ing his head against the mantel. "Are you crazy, you—worm?" cried Hernandez with a snarl. "I've—turned," snarled Joe In re turn. Without waiting for breath he flung himself once more at Hernandez. "Help!" cried Hernandez. "Inez — tackle this mosquito." Inez was a valuable ally. She at tacked Joe from the rear, and her as sault was effectual. Her onslaught was so severe that it caused Joe to re treat. He did retreat until he faced them both. "Now," said Hernandez. And both descended upon him. Joe was ready for them. He seized a chair and •whirled It about his head —frenzy lend ing him violence and strength. Jk "Come on!" he cried, "all three of at once!" With one wild final swing he brought the chair crashing down on Hernandez' head. No, not on Hernandez' head. It fell short of that, but crashed on 'Something else —the chandelier above , Hernandez' head. There was a ripping, tearing, crack ring sound—and then a crash. Down icame the chandelier in a tangled heap (upon the floor. For one instant ther» was a cessa tion of hostilities. The shades were (down—the lights extinguished—the troom plunged Into semi-darkness. Annette watched in affright. Sud denly a strange, familiar odor assailed •her nostrils. i "Stop—stop!" she cried. But none heeded her. The Brute I*UU held her fast. And Joe, In his new [and ungovernable frenzy, was once itnore at It with the chair, clearing a WEDNESDAY EVENING, i Friday (Next) the Last Friday Bargain S/IL£ t I otore Closed All Day A big Treat in Store For You TO-MORROW Am WKWTI TOYLAND Opens Sa.urAY ONLY I S NEW"NE?G W EAK 0 ' "ifti' MMRAM «, Ml* BW {STOCKING I-~.11.-- n.,,-1 UN.ON 1 / ml lUC SII.K K MSTS. to. ® OC ' ' 52.45 151 ** y Worth Hi. n-W.

Then —flzz—a spark—a multitude of sparks. A pause—a second's pause. And then the whole room, with a mighty roar, burst Itself out into the open air. A horseman, speeding down the straight road, heard the boom. He saw the explosion. He spurred his horse. He reached the wayside lane. Joe Welcher, his head cut and bleeding, was the first to revive. His remorseful frenzy still lent him Strength and energy. He sprang to bis feet—looked for 'Annette. He no ticed nothing else —save that the room was wrecked. He found Annette, picked her up and carried her without. She was ■tunned, but practically unhurt. But Joe didn't know all this. He had killed her—he must bring her to life again.
