When the party camped for the i'l night, Lang separated from Golden and - made himself useful helping Use worn- .fj^en folks prepare supper. fii'jif' Pondering on the events of the tJp ; i I night before, and on the conversation l f that he had had with Golden, Lang came to the conclusion, which was the Just one, that Golden had a reason for quizzing him, beyond the mere .fact of desiring to enlighten him about the Convict City. Golden had been recalled to the city; this might mean much or little. It might mean that the old man's la- bora had been appreciated and that he was to be finally rewarded; or it p,: might mean that something was trans- jl; , J piling among the people which made his presence necessary; or it might ' ""'be that he was to be punished for , , some miscarriage of their plans. The p;-fear of the latter made Golden ill at ease. ' • The night was slowly drawing tk a close. Quiet reigned. The last em­ bers of the camp-fires were dying out. The white tents of the campers, In •which the men slept, could be barely discerned in the darkness. Up to a late hour Lang had remained in com­ pany with the women folks, furnish­ ing music and singing songs, as was his custom. When he did retire it was to lie and toss in restless slumber for hours. To Lang the fact that he had been assigned different sleeping quar­ ters on this night, away from Golden, and that Golden had been given a tent all alone, in something of *n unpro­ tected and desertfl^part of the vast circle, was niore than accident. It only takes a little thing to make a wakeful man suspicious, and Lang .. was suspicious. Strange fancies took possession of him, and he slept only ^,5; * in short fitful naps. He came to the conclusion that designs were on tha high in authority or they would never have dared to lay their hands on him in the manner they contemplated. When the train again moved off Golden was given a place to ride in one of the "schooners," and at the re­ quest of the wounded man, Lang was placed upon the seat as driver of the wagon. During the progress of the march Lang managed to draw out of line away from the hearing of any other part of the train. , "I told you last evening that I was going to make5* a confidant of you," said Golden, opening up the conversa­ tion. "I am more resolved now than ever, since my life has been attempt­ ed. I am positive it was by the order of the present king. What his object is I cannot tell. The king, you should know, is the only personage who has more power than another in the colony. But as I skid before, even he has no right to kill without giving a chance for life. This shows me that the people themselves do not wish my death; if they did, the penal­ ty would have been exacted under cover of the law. Though I escaped last night through your watchfulness, there are many ways yet in which it may be taken. You saved my life, but I am afraid that you have incurred the ill will of the people who must be your comrades and that may place even your life In jeopardy." "Never mind me," was Lang's an­ swer. "I look at this differently than you do. If, as you say, the people do not desire you death--they must de­ sire to again place you in power. If such is the case I have gained rather than lost by the transaction! See?" "You are a riddle," replied Golden, "but whether honest or otherwise, I mean to do you a favor. Sometime you may tire of Paradise--that is the name of our city. I mean to tell you how and where to leave it when you are ready to do sol I helped build the town. It is a' poor builder who does % nay child, who as yet, is uncons«fc»u* of guilt or of his father's crime!** "Yes! You may return! You may return now, if you say the word!" • Kim mHV gesture. "Tempt me not," he said, "I would not feel satisfied with myselt If I turned back. I will on and see this adventure to its end--though it end In death and ignominy!" "But I do not wish death to end you!" cried the old man In spirit., "Death may claim me; but I want you to live to -tell my wife I died--died a repentant man; died with her pure name on my lips! I want you to live to see that she needs for nothing. I have placed in a Chicago bank suf­ ficient funds to keep them in com­ fort a lifetime! They need never know how I came by it; I wish you to see that they get it! Will you promise me!" - , "If I live to return to Chicago, I will see that your family want for nothing, but if I were you I would never say die! There are many slips 'twlxt cup and lip! The battle is not always to the strong! If, as you say, the people do not desire your death, rise up, you were king Mice, why not become one again?" "It Is not possible. I am meeting my just reward for a life of crime! But you need not think of my dying. For the love I bear my wife I will make your escape easy!" "Golden, set your mind at rest! If I live neither you nor yOur family will suffer while I can help them: I'll tell you the truth and brave the conse­ quences! I mean to go back, and when I do It will not be in fear of the assassin's knife! I am young- like better men before me I am am­ bitious! I mean t.o be king of Para­ dise before I leave, or there will be no king!" cried Lang. "At last I understand you!" was the triumphant reply of. Golden. "Or there will be no Paradise! That's what you mean to say?" "Or there will be no .Lang!" as­ sented Lang. So be it!" said Golden, who s'eem- ed to fall in with the spirit of Lang. I saw it rise--would that I could see it fall!" 'Give me your aid,*' said Lang. "Re­ venge yourself of these people who have attempted your life. Between the two of us we can overthrow the octopus. What do you say?" "I am with you body and soul!" Did Golden mean what he said? Would the faithful servant of an un­ holy cause turn upon his treacherous friends and deliver them to the hang­ man? Was Louis Lang true to him­ self and Denver In thus giving away his mission. The tide of battle oft­ entimes hangs upon a slender thread! Would Golden prove true? (To be continued.) > t, t"<. - Hounded across the open space. life of Golden. Louis had waited In ex­ pectancy of hearing some unusual jsound, some note of warning given. ,iAi last, unable to endure the suspense ;a£y longer, our hero got up. All was darkness and quiet Leav­ ing his sleeping partners, Limpy Jim and Pete, soundly sleeping, for a mo­ ment Louis stood In the doorway of his tent enveloped in its folds. Through the darkness Lang thought he discovered a moving from -between ihlm and Golden's tent. Without a sound, without a moments' warning, Louis bounded across the open Space. !As he turned to leave his tent he im- • sgtned that there was some one prowl­ ing around his own tent, but with the thought uppermost in his own mind, to •prevent an attack on Golden, he wast­ ed no time in attempting to learn who the prowler was, or what the purpose ... might be in prowling around his own dent at this unseemly hour. As Lang hurried across the open he not know where to find the weakest spot! I had an idea when I built, that some time I should like to leave the place and built accordingly, leav­ ing an opening known only to myself. This entrance is through the cellar of a little cottage which is built upon the side of one of the three large hills that surround the town. It Is in the shape of a tunnel, which was once the fountain head of the river which flows through the town. Entering the cellar and uncovering the mouth of the tunnel, one could travel to the very heart of the mountain and find an exit through what seems to be a bear's cave. The door here is pro­ tected by an artificial barrier of rocks which could be easily removed. I do not think that this secret has ever been discovered, because over and around the cave I have planted young trees, which undoubtedly hide the en­ trance. The cottage is supposed to be haunted. When the winds blow, sighs, drew his billy and held it ready for moans and unearthly noises are heard use. Hearing a noise as if of a strug- You can readily understand that I am igle, Louis with a yell of warning bold­ ly entered Golden's tent, and as a form bounded up from the earth, grap­ pled with it. Our hero was placed at ^rather a disadvantage, not knowing •with whom he was tussling--whether an assassin or Golden himself. The yell uttered by Louis awoke several lof the emigrants, some person lit a torch and lit up the scene. Before ,help arrived Louis had succeeded In disarming and throwing his antagonist upon the ground. The arrival of light made explana- tlons easy. Golden's life had been attempted. A light sleeper, the old .man had been aroused by hearing 'somebody feeling around his person, and attempted to grapple with his as- tsassln. Louis' timely arrival and shout had perhaps saved the life of Golden, for the would-be murderer, stung for a moment at the thought of the unexpected arrival of aid for Gold­ en, did not strike the fatal blow; but la the melee which ensued simply ibliadly struck at his victim, cutting a deep gash In Golden's leg. "You have saved my life!" said Golden, coming to the side of Louis. Lang could see the evil scowls on the faces of several of the teawsters and knew that he had no friend in the gang. They did not show their hos­ tility openly, however, and finally placed in custody the would-be assas­ sin, meanwhile appearing pleased that Golden was yet alive. Neither Lang nor Golden were deceived, though. 'Of course there was excitement. All were not aware of the attempt be­ fore, and were generally horrified at ,the cold-bloodedness of tie attack, the women folka especially. Golden clung to Louis like a child tto his parent, until the dawn appear- ied. Then he was himself again. Gold well aware now of his ultimate He knew that these men must been put up to 1*. by some one lea was «4tifWL» ihava I am the one who haunts that ranch! I put so much confidence in you that I tell you the secret, that you may profit by my experience. It is a terrible thought to me that I am being brought to this terrible out of the way1 place to be killed--or held in bondage! I am not afraid to die, but I do not wish to die and leave my wife and boy at the mercy of a cruel and unjust world! Yes, I am married--I have a fair- haired, rosy-cheeked boy and a lovely little wife. They are my joy and my pride, and so far above me that I fair­ ly worship them. I have tried to live an upright life with them. When I found that my past might rise up and haunt them and make them blush for my sins, I left them in ignorance of my true character. I know that they do not want for temporal things, be­ cause I keep them supplied with money. I have been a millstone around my loved one's neck, but I have tried to do well by them. I am fearful now that I will be taken away from them and that they will l»e left without a protector! "I, too, am a father!" said Louis Lang. "And I can sympathize with you." There was a tinge of sadness in his voice. He longed to tell his friend, for such he considered Golden, that he had hopes of returning to civ­ ilization with money and fame; that he was here to attempt the breaking up of the vipers' nest--bat he> re­ frained. "You have awakened la me holy thoughts," continued Louis. "I once was happy in married life; but death that cruel reaper, took away my loved one from me. She was the only one who believed that I was not wholly bad. Her loss drove me mad! The demon drink caught me In his Iron clutch and I sank from a true position to the dregs! I may return; I may reform; I may yet live la peace with MU1»E RACES WITH A TRAIN. Takes a Daily "Workout" of Half a Mile Alongside the Track. "I'd like to know who owns that mule just east of Bates City," said George Jacques yesterday, the engi­ neer who pulls the Alton's "hummer," the Chicago limited train, into Kansas City. "Talk about running--why, he'd make The Picket or McChesney want to hide. I'll bet he can do a mile in 87." Ttye limited train does not stop at Bates City, and before it passes into the city limits it is doing easily fifty miles an hour. Passing a pasture by the side of the track Jacques has a race with the mule every trip. I can see him watching for me," the engineer said, "and the minute I blow the whistle he's off. He fudges a little--we don't get away well, and by the time I get to the post the mule is several hundred yards away, his head and tail both extended, and run­ ning like a racer. He has a half mile to make his dash. Of course the big engine simply runs away from him, but I'll tell you that mule is deter­ mined to win a race yet. He looks for it every morning. When the train has passed him he stops and watches un­ til we axe out of sight. He takes his run nearly every morning. I'd miss that mule if he was taken away." Why He Wanted a Tenner. Application was made at half a doz­ en stores before the man could get One ten-dollar bill for his roll of ones. I don't see," said the man's com­ panion, "why you went to all that trouble. You are going to pay the money right over to your tailor. Why didn't you give him the one-dollar bills?" 'Because it would make a bad im­ pression," was the reply. "I am broke, but I don't want him to know it. Whenever you get in that fix pay your debts in the largest bills that you can get hold of. It enhances your value in the estimation of tradesmen and paves the way for further credit. A fellow will think a heap more of you if.you pay with ond five dollar bill than with five ones. A handful of chicken feed indicates that you have had to hustle around pretty live­ ly to get the money and that there isn't much left where that came from. A man who really has money can af­ ford to pay in pennies if he feels \ike it, but he who has little can keep up his credit only by using large bills." Tom's Cause for Thankfulness.^ Supt. Donald of the Wakefield town farm tells of a jovial old Irishman whose convivial habits have frequent­ ly brought him within the jurisdiction of the police court and finally made him a town charge. The old man Is commonly known as "Tom." Last Thanksgiving day Tom came downstairs smiling and singing to him­ self, and met the superintendent. "You seem happy this morning, Tom," said Mr. Donald. "Sure, sur," said Tom, in his rich brogue, good reason have I to be thankful this Thanksgiving day. One year ago I was in the house of cor­ rection, and this year, glory b%£te Jn the poorhouse." •1' • LIGHTING Not Personal. '1 hope^you are not leaving me far any personal reasons, Norah?" "Personal, ma'am? Oh, no, ma'am. I'm only leavln' you because me steady young man--he's a policeman, ma'am --has been transformed from this dls< tricy to the twinty-first, an' it's too far to go courtin'.

Gat for Lighting Formerly Confined"to Cities and Large Towns, no^lfi General Use in the Country. - V, The satisfactory lighting of subur­ ban and country homes requires that the means used shall be Convenient, safe, economical and furnish a bril­ liant, penetrating, effulgent light- Eve ry body admits that these are not the characteristics of the candle or kerosene lamp, which, formerly, were the only feasible means of pro­ ducing light for domestic use In the rural districts. For generations there was a crying need, a yearning for something better, which was not satisfied. A few years ago deliverance came in the shape of the chemical compound, Calcium Car­ bide, from which, by the simple ap­ plication of water, the gas Acetylene is derived. Acetylene meets all the requirements fully and admirably and Is being generally tised. Common lime and carbon In the form of coke or coal are the raw mar terials which, fused in an intensely heated furnace, make Calcium Car­ bide, and there is no difficulty fn ob­ taining it in any part of the country. The machine Into which the Cal­ cium Carbide is fed and from which the Acetylene is distributed through the building to be lighted, is but little larger than a thirty-gallon milk can, and of the same general form. It is easily and cheaply installed, either in the cellar or in an out-building. The light from burning Acetylene Is exquisite, and lighting experts agree that it surpasses all other known illu- minants. It does not taint the air nor strain the eyes and is not objection­ able in any respect Every up-to-date rural residence should be equipped with Acetylene light. Might Stay on Earth. Speaker Joseph Cannon, in response to a toast at a recent dinner, began his remarks so as to create the in­ itial laugh which Is so much desired by orators as a preparation for weigh* tier matters to follow. "Astronomers tell us," he began, "according to the gentleman who has just sat down, that an express train moving a hundred miles a second would consume several million years in reaching a certain star." He paused and looked toward the guest to whom he had referred. "That was the statement," said the Speaker's neighbor, nodding. "I was just thinking," pursued Mr. Cannon, "what a predicament a mail would be In if he should miss the last train and have to walk."--Suc­ cess. RESTORED HI3 HAIR 8calp Humor Cured by Cuticura Soap * and Ointment--After AM fife Had Failed. "I was troubled with a severe scalp humor and loss of hair that gave me a great deal of annoyance and inconven- icnce. After unsuccessful efforts with many remedies and so-called hair tonics, a friend Induced me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The humor was cured In a short time,,my hair was restored as healthy as evsr, and I can gladly say I have since been entirely free from any further annoy­ ance. I shall always use Cuticura Soap, and I keep the Ointment on hand to use as a dressing for the uair and scalp. CSlgned) Fred'k Busche, 213 East 67th St., New York City."

CHRONIC ERYSIPELAS Oured by Dr. Williams' Pink Ptlla, Although Whole Body waa, Affected. Erysipelas or St. Anthony's Are is a most uncomfortable disease on account of the burning, the pain and the dis­ figurement ; it is also a very grave dis­ order, attended always by the danger of involving vital organs in its spread. The case which follows will be read with great interest by all, sufferers as it affected the whole body, and refused to yield to the remedies prescribed by the physician employed. Mrs. Ida A. Col-! bath, who was the victim of the attack, residing at No. 19 Winter street, New- buryport, Mass., says: " In June of 1903 I was taken ill withi what at first appeared to be a fever. If sent for a physician who pronounced my disease chronic erysipelas and said it would be a long time before I got well. " Inflammation began on my face and spread all over my body. My eyes were: swollen and seemed bulging out of their sockets. I was in a terrible plight and suffered the most intense pain through­ out my body. The doctor said my1 case was a very severe one. Under his treatment, however, the inflamnm tion did not diminish and the paina which shot through my body increased in se veri ty. After being two mouths un­ der his care, without any improvement, I dismissed him. "Shortly after this, on the advice of a friend, I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, two at a dose three times a day. After the second box had been nsed I was surprised to notice that the inflammation was going down and that the pains which used to cause me so much agony had disappeared. Af­ ter using six boxes of the pills I was np and around the house attending to my household duties, as well as ever."

I'&r*- * " " % Ready-AII-t he-Year Garmanta, Women of fashion are getting more and more away from the idea that they must have one set of clothing for sum­ mer and another and entirely diSereut set tor winter. Shirt waists are worn all the year around; shirt waist suits are becoming every season; long coats can be donned winter and summer, providing they are neither too thin nor too heavy; and one by one all the other articles of dress are being brought into the list of ready-all-the- year garments. The taffeta fall waists are construct­ ed to be worn in cold weather, and many of them are made up so that they can be worn In the very dead of winter. There are women who make up a haadsome silk suit at this time, taking care that it conforms in all ways to the styles promised for winter. It must be Just right in the upper arms, with that wide look across the chest and shoulders which is coming to be more and more the style. In addition to this, it must be perfect as to small trimmings. There must be a deal of piping upon it, with a few contrasting folds and some handsome touches of iraid. Ornamentation on All Bodices. In many of the latest Imported models all of the elaboration seems to be lavished upon the bodice, and the skirt Is, comparatively speaking, plain. #In a silk-warp henrietta of a pretty shade of rose pink the bodice is arranged with the part over the shoulders plain, and the draped por­ tion starting from the side seams toward the front. The chemisette is outlined with a piping of Jacquemi­ not red velvet and some fancy braid nt the shade between; and the waist part is so handled that there is a straight empiecement in girdle effect all around. The sleeve is puffed at the shoulder and cleverly slipped above the elbow to display the lace frilly that make a smart finish. The skirt is -circular in cut, plaited over^ the hips and finished with tucks. New Ideas In Separate Waists. The ever-useful and really stylish separate waist is developing new ideas and attracting novelties with each and every appearance. With the grow­ ing vogue of colors in all departments of dress some of the French import­ ing houses are showing the most ex­ quisite novelties, all of colored crepe de chine, crystalline and other silken fabrics that reverse the usual custom and are trimmed in white, for the craze for colors In dress Is giving rise to a vogue for dressy waists of col­ ored silks and crepes rather than the white ones that really have had a most prolonged inning. Blue and White Striped Serge* i Tremendously chic for a youthful figure is a coat and skirt of blue and white striped serge. At the head of the hem of the jupe are laid oblong motifs made from strips of the ma­ terial joined in points at the middle. A band of this same trimming outlines the collarless neck and extends down to the left bust. From this paint the jacket buttons diagonally over to the right, each side of the coat sloping off to the under arm seam at the waist line to reveal a Jfibinted satin girdle. A tight-fitting pepluf passes around the back and curves up gently to meet the edges of the coat. Turquoise Shades Coming Back. A revival of the turquoise shades Is predicted, having been heralded by several exquisits turquoise costumes worn by noted leaders of fashion dur­ ing the height of the Paris season. The color is repeated often in the new millinery and turquoise Jeweled trim­ mings figure conspicuously among the latest importations, but whether the color will be much used save as a re­ lieving note Is a matter for doubt. Glrl'a Walking Costume. Girl's walking costume of fancy gray wool. The short skirt is made with fine plaits, the front forming a sort of tablier, ornamented with pearl but­ tons. The corsage is also made with plaits and has a plastron of the ma­ terial, ornamented with buttons. The crossed fronts are finished with revers of green velvet, bordered with the material, the latter embroidered with soutache. The turn-over collar and cuffs are like the revers, and the girdle Is also of velvet. The front Is also finished with a frill of liu«ja ox batiste. r Glimmers of Fall Style* * There Is a new brown that Is quite brilliant, when compared with the browns we have been wearing.

A simple suit of this description has Its skirt laid in groups of wide and narrow tucks. The short jacket has a dainty collar of lace and muslin, and on the front of the coat near the waist line are huge motifs of broiderie anglaise. These plainly made black taffeta frocks have been gradually working their way Into favor again, and one may now say that they have "ar­ rived." 1 , , • ' , Crepe De Chine Walalr Blouse of pink crepe de china, cov­ ered with a large collar composed of , k t t r . r * ftVA . ?li S'V if three gathered ruffles of the material attached by an application of guipure, the collar bordered with plaitings of mousseline de sole. The guimpe is of lace. The full sleeves are- plaited at the bottom and finished at the elbows with, frills of the material and lace. Mohairs Always Popular. Those soft and silky mohairs are as much used as are silks for the dressy frocks and trimmed with the coarst Russian laces that are so much In vogue they present a highly success­ ful appearance. In one model there Is a deep yoke with a fancy edge that simulates a bertha and a lace em­ piecement at the waist line after the fashion of a vest. The red mohair is drawn in bolero fashion across the bust and fastened with little velvet bows. The short sleeve is a double puff with shirred lengthwise tucks be­ tween. The skirt is circular, plaited to the band, and with a deep encrusta­ tion of lace on the hem, edged either side with narrow velvet piping used £L|t «s * ribbon. ' • r v - • • , „,» * '. " Feather Hate - Tlie feather hats made of breast feathers, which are always popular for first fall wear, are particularly beauti­ ful this fall. The many small shapes used have given the makers of these feather hats a chance to depart from the usual turban idea, and one may choose from a great variety of small shapes, whose gleaming feathers pre­ sent wonderfully beautiful color combi­ nations and require little trimming be­ yond a fold or knot of velvet. In the bronze and copper browns, the wine or fruit reds and the blue and green shadings these hats are very lovely and though at their best they are ex­ pensive the knowledge that they je- quire little trimming offsets that fact. >--New York Sun.

Oae of these Is mounted on the same tone of chiffon and again is laid over a flame-colored slip.

The tailored iresses of fall will all show a little embroidery, but it is not the elaborate raised embroidery, but rather the small dot and the little cir­ cle, the tiny flower and the careless spray.

Speaking of his cure Mr. Laudeman says: "Yes, I suffered from Kidney Tria­ ble for three years and tried six doc* tors to no good. Then I took Just two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they not only cured my kidneys, but gave me better health in general. Of course I recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to others and I know a number now who are using them with good ra» suits." Mr. Laudeman's case is not aa •*« tieption.
