I'm not. going to stand by quietly and see a lot of men shot down on the chance of a misunder standing!" "Take 'em. then!" rasped Harding meaning nothing more than the call ing of a foolish theorist's bluff. Smith caught at the warrants and before anybody could stop him he was down upon the stagings swinging j liimself from bent to bent through a storm of bullets coming, not from the commissary, but from the saloon shack on the opposite bank—a whistling shower of lead that made every man in the sheriff's party duck to cover. How the volunteer process-server ever lived to get across the bridge of c'.-ath nc man might know. Thrice in the half-minute dash he was hit: ye* there was life enough left to ca.-iy him stumbling across the last or the ;taging ben's; to send him reeling up the runway at the end and across the working yard to the door ol the commissary, waving the fold ed papers like an inadequate flag of truce as he fell on the doorstep. After that, all things were curious ly hazy and undefined for him. There was the tumult of a fierce bat tie brin ; waged over him: a deafen ing r fie fiie and the spat-spat of bullets puncturing the sheet-iron walls of the commissary, in the midst of it he lost his hold upon the tealities, and when he got it again the warlike clamor was stilled and Starbuck was kneeling beside him, trying, apparently, to deprive him of his clothes with the reckless slash ings of a knife. Protesting feebly and trying to rise, he saw the working yard filled with armed men and the returning throng of laborers; saw Colonel Baldwin and Williams talking ex citedly to the sheriff; then he caught the eye of the engineer and beckon ed eagerly with his one available hand. "Hold still, until I can find out how dead you are!" gritted the rough-and-ready surgeon, who was plying the clothes-ripping knife. But when Williams came and bent down to listen, Smith found a voice, shrill and strident and so little like his Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton Just such a blouse as this one makes one of the essen trflW tials of the Summer ward robe.

"Call 'em out—call the men out and start the gate machinery!" he panted in the queer, whistling voice which was, and was not, his own. "Possess—possession is nine points of the law —that's what Judge War ner said: the spillways, Bartley— shut 'em quick!" "The men are on the job and the machinery is starting right now," said Williams gently. "Don't you hear it?" And then to Starbuck, "For heaven's sake, do something for him, Billy—anything to keep him with us until a doctor can get here!" Smith'' felt himself smiling fool ishly. "I don't need any doctor, Bartley; what I need is a new ego; then I'd stand some sha—some chance of finding—" he looked up appealingly at. Starbuck —"what is it that I'd stand some chance of finding, Billy? I —l can't seem to remember?" Williams turned his face away and Starbuck tightened his benumbing grip upon the severed artery in the r.ared arm from which he had cut the sleeve. Smith seemed to be going off again, hut he suddenly opened his eyes and pointed frantically with a finger of the one serviceable hand. "Catch him! Catch him;" he shrill ed. "He's going to dy-dynamite the dam!" Clinging to consciousness with a grip that not even the blood loss could break, Smith saw Williams spring to his feet and give the alarm, saw three or four of the sheriff's men drop their weapons and hurl themselves upon another man who was trying to make his way unno ticed to the staggings with a box of dynamite on his shoulder. Then he felt the foolish smile coming again when he looked up at Starbuck. "Tell the little girl—tell her—you know what I tried to (Jo.

William Starbuck drew the sur geon aside after the first aid had been rendered, and Smith, still un conscious had been carried from the makeshift operating table in the commissary to Williams' cot in the office shack. m "How about it.

Starbuck remembered that the doctor had come out in the auto with the police captain and the two plain clothes men. "Hackerman has been talking?" he queried. The surgeon nodded.

RHEUMATISM Physician Believes a Genuine Rem edy For the Disease Has Been Found Rheuma, the wonderful rheuma tism remedy sold by H. C.

Rheuma passes the deadly poison ous Becrettons into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quick ly thrown off in a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: "I have made a most careful investigation of the formula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheumatism I find Rheuma far in advance of the meth ods generally employed in the treat ment of rheumatism, and altogether different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed."—Dr. Lyons.

HXRRISBURG TELEGRAPH "The Insider" By Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTKR LXXIII Copyright, 1917, Star Company I sprang up from a deep sleep. My room was echoing with the un- | mistakable-sound of a child's scream : of terror—unrestrained and soul sickening. "Oh! Oh! Miss Dart! Miss Dart! Oh —h-h!" I ran staggeringly across my room to the (loot: leading into the dress- j lng room connecting with the nur- ; sery. I was dazed by sleep; I could hardly get my bearings. Hut all the time I was calling to! the child I loved—"Yes, darling! I . am coming! 1 am coming!" I reached the dressing room door I at last and felt the cold tile floor beneath my baro ffeet. Now I would he able to find my way to the nur sery. I ran through the second door, stumbling as I did so and striking my head against the door-lamb Later there was a dark bruise on my forehead. At the time I felt no pain 1 did not pause to turn on the light. •trace's screams had changed to sobs—the sobs of a creature strug gling for breath. I groped for her bed. Something moved under my out stretched hands, and I seized It. Was this Grace? Before I could answer my own mental question, the body I had seized slipped from my grasp. I clutched at it, caught a handful of 111 ra.V draperv. then the fabric I held tore as -SOMEBODY eluded my grasp. "Grace!" I called frantically. "Grace!" My outstretched hands felt the sobbing and writhing child. An in stant later and I had switched on the electric light at the head of the bed. On the bed lay a little girl whose eyes were fixed in a stare that made my blood freeze. Her head was thrown back: her breath came pant ingly from between her clenched i teeth. , Voices and steps sounded from I the wing in which Hugh and Tom ; slept. The boys had heard Grace's screams and were hurrying to us. A Call For Help "Quick! quick!" I called. "Oh come—quick!" Then, as Tom and Hugh Parker rushed in I pointed to the little fig ure on the bed. "Turn on the hot water! Hurry!" I ordered, nodding towards the dressing room. "We must get her into a bath. She has had a convul sion." All my wits had returned suddenly to meet the emergency. Hugh did not pause, but ran into the dressing room and I heard the rush of water in the tub.

"Put these on," he said simply. "You will catch cold." 1 had always heard that in the face of danger one's sense of con ventionalities becomes dead. Per haps this is so. Certain I am that until that instant I had 'not appre ciated that I wore only my night dress. Tom had, apparently, not looked at me. He had gone right to the bed and was bending over the un conscious child. "Here comes father!" he exclaim ed suddenly, withdrawing to the other side of the room. Brewster Norton hurried in, his face white, his hair dishevelled. "What's the matter?" he demand ed excitedly. "Elizabeth are you" "It is Grace!" I interrupted him. "She has had a convulsion. We are going to put her into a hot bath immediately." As I spoke I started to lift the little one from the bed, but he pushed me aside and took her in his arms. As he raised her from the pillow the light fell full upon her throat. On it were two dark-red marks— the unmistakable prints of fingers. "T,nok!" T gasped. "Look!" Wliat Did It Mean? My voice broke into something almost like a scream, and Hugh caught me by the arm. "Steady!" he murmured. "Steady, dear!" "What does It mean?" her father exclaimed, looking down at, the sin ister marks. "What does it mean?" "We must get her into thfc tub at cnoe," Hugh said abruptly. "Tom —• run and telephone for the doctor. Hurry up! You know which doctor to get." "Miss Dart!" I heard Mrs. Gore calling from downstairs. "What's happened ?" "Tell Adelaide not to come up here?" Brewster Norton ordered his son as the boy left the room. "Tell her Grace has had a heart attack, and that I will let her know if she's needed. I can't have her up here now! Make her understand that!" Nobody spoke after he had issued this command. We could hear Tom run down the first flight of stairs nnd stop there to deliver his heart less message. It was when the child was in the tub that I tittered a smothared ejac ulation. The warm water had relaxed the stiffened muscles, and the little hands opened suddenly. And. as thev did so, I saw that they had held tightly clutched some long strands of white tulle. "What is that stuff?" Brewster Norton asked, pointing to the strips of uauice floating on the surface of the water. I scarcely recognized my own voice as T answered. "It is a part of an old wedding veil," I said.

Advice to the Lovelorn lly BEATRICE FAIRFAX THE SCAR DKAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am 21 and have become engaged recently; the young man wants me to keep the engagement secret fom his parents until September. When I was five I had a serious op eration on my face which left the jaw scarred, and when I told the man that this was the cause of his parents hesi tating, he cried and said yes, that it hurt him an awful lot to have me bring up surh a delicate thing. I wanted to break the engagement, but he would not listen, and finallv I had to promise that if his parents were still averse to his marryiag me that I would consent to get mar ried. It was hard to do this because I have always been taught to respect my elders, but I know that the young man I am engaged to loves me dear ly, and I have put him off for seven years, but now I cannot let a thing like this break our future happiness. The young man wants to get mar ried soon. I have a good position, have asked him to give me up and re lease me from my promise, but he will not and says he is going to tlghi and have his parents love ine as he does. .T. M. S. Yes, I think you are suffering be cause of over-sensitiveness—and self ishness. You are surprised to hear that, are you not? Think it over, though, and see if It is not true that you are laying more stress on your own pride and unhappiness about this scar on your face than you are on the happihess of the man you love. I am printing your letter In full because it is clearly expressive of your fine ness and sweetness and kindness, which are far more Important than a slight physical blemish. I am sure that a girl like you can win the love and devotion of her husband's people if she will just forget her morbid fancies about the results of an unfor tunate operation and will trust that the kindness and generosity of human nature and her own devotion are far more important in determining hap plnes than is a scar—a mere tiny blemish. Don't lay the accent on the wrong thing, my dear. You are not afflicted, you are not repulsive, you are not in any way handicapped or kept from having the best to offer the man you love. Make it a matter of pride to win his parents. Don't think about yourself but ahout them and their love for their hoy. I am sure they are not so petty and Ignoble as to try to steal your happiness from you". But In any event your love be longs to you.
