t To Scrambling along the ditch, keepâ€" ing his head low, he ran as far as the cover would permit in the diâ€" rection of the Scarecrow and his prisoner. He aimed to get to a point in his rear. Hunter sensed the action and imâ€" mediately worked in concert. "Listen, Cranston," he began, without the faintest idea of what he should say, the only object being to focus his attention away from any movement of Digby. "Like a sensible fellow, give yourself up. You know it can only be a matter of a few hours at the most. Why make the affair worse by such behaviour? 1 promise you that if you come along with the suâ€" perintendent, 1 will do what 1 can for you. Now then, show _ your sense and give in." "Am 1 responsible to you for my actions?" shrilled Cranston. "These things that 1 have done, are the That split second was sufficient for Digby, and he took the chance without debating the odds. The Gun Speaks The next instant not a constable was visible. Above, a party of seaâ€" gulls, alarmed by the sudden report, screcched and whirled, a simple and trivial thing, but one that led to the Scarecrow‘s undoing. The gulls in their sudden alarm swooped low, and for a moment he turned his eyes upward at the comâ€" motion above his head. P Gaunt, thin and of ungainly apâ€" pearance, he lifted the dead weight of the police superintendent with Waiting for a moment to gain his breath, he wailed again in moneâ€" tone: Their shouts in answer made the Scarecrow turn his head and inâ€" stantly he sensed the danger from the rear, and noting equal danger ahead from Hunter‘s party, he paused. ‘Thus cut off on both sides, he stood like a hunted animal. Like A Hunted Animal "We‘ve got him now," he shouted, as the various police officers reâ€" sponded to the shrilling of P. C. Bright‘s whistle.

True, as he had indicated, there on the grass lay a tiny glass tube, capless. * Promise Fulfilled "Years ago, as you doubtless know," Cranston resumed, "I took an oath to rid the world of the verâ€" min you know as West, McClintock and Benson.

Well, gentlemen, I have the honour to bid you all farewell. It‘s a long journey I embark upon, but I take it happily. The walls that would imprison Mysticus, or Cranston, as you know me, are not built, gentlemen. I‘m sorry to thwart you of your proper concluâ€" sion of this affair, but you should not have interfered. The tiny phial you will find the grass has given me a passoprt to â€" who knows where ?" The pinioned man faintly smiled his thangs and sat up. He glanced at the dazed superintendent. "Let him sit up," suggested Hunâ€" ter. Hunter and Digby crossed to where he lay, haundcuffed, upon his back. . Transformation The constables stared at the man, his suddenly changed demeanour astounding them. The voice and face had undergone a transformaâ€" tion. "Let me get up," Cranston spoke quietly. "I‘m not going to try to escape; at least not the way you think. I want to speak to Digby. I give you my word that I‘m through." With the coilar of his tunic toosâ€" ened and some quite unnecessary faceâ€"slapping spiritedly contributed by P. C. Bright, the natural color began to suffuse the man‘s face and soon they had the satisfaction of seeing him open his eyes in bewildâ€" erment. "Doped," he sniffed, "the scent is still upon him. Hyoscin, 1 fancy. Pretty deadly stuff, a whifl is enough to quiet a man for some time. It‘s not fatal, he‘ll recover." Even so, it necessitated almost a man to a limb to maintain the masâ€" tery. Furiously he fought and again and again threw off his atâ€" tackers, but eventvally even his magnifi¢cent strength began to ebb and he was pinioned to the ground. Hunter turned his attention to the prostrate police chief. Then like a charge of troops, the police rushed forward. Hunter was nearest and reached the scrambling, struggling pair first. A Dope Fiend? The inert body of the superinâ€" tendent had rolled to one side and Digby attached the hunted man like a terrier. Over and over they rollâ€" ed, the steelâ€"like arms and muscles of Cranston making it almost imposâ€" sible for Digby to keep a grip upon his arm. Digby‘s chances would have been small indeed had not the others arâ€" rived to throw their weight into the struggle. thus gave to sheer theatricalism was fatal, for with the bound and leap of a spirited tackle, Digby sprang and landed fairly upon his back. W "I give you a minute, Cranston, to surrender. Move a fraction and I fire; I‘m reckoned a dead shot." Crawling like a Red Indian, alâ€" most mnon his stomach, from the hedgerc.. tohind the tall figure of Cranston, came Digby, wanting but a few paces to gain his objective. So far the man at bay had not seen Digby, so without a second‘s hesitation Hunted acted. Presenting a revolver he covered the man. P.C. Bright focussed Hunter with a look of perplexity, and caught in Hunter‘s eye the faintest flicker of a lid. Guardedly, Bright turned his gaze towards Cranston, and saw the reason for the signal. ‘‘You think I‘m mad, don‘t you?" challenged Cranston. "If you were half as sane you‘d be a clever man. If you are sincere in your desire to help, clear these men off. If you don‘t you‘ll be this man‘s murderer. Away, I tell you, all of you. Away. Away!" "Mad! } ed Hunter Hopelessly Insane Thin cracked laughter filtered through the mist. things which concern no one but myself and my Maker.

The lenses are of molded glass and the moldâ€" ing often results in waves and abâ€" errations that distort vision and may even damage eyesight. *There is, however, another reaâ€" son against this stupid practice. The colored glasses become virâ€" tually crutches and create a habitâ€" ofâ€"mind that makes it hard to disâ€" pense with them when the fad has run its course. So my oculist friend says that the wearing of smoked glasses, exâ€" cept in case of need, weakens the eyes‘ natural resistance to too much light. It makes them more and more dependable on artificial aid. Negroid people are a porfect example of this. The reason is obvious. In latiâ€" tudes where there is an excess of sunlight, a provident nature has supplied natives with pigments that have the property of absorbâ€" ing the glare. An oculist friend of mine â€" well known as an authority on the eyesâ€"tells me that the habit of wearing smoked glasses, unless there is actual need to protect the eyes from excessive glareâ€"may be positively dangerous. Origin of the fad is easily tracâ€" ed to a desire to emulate stars of the movie.colony at Hollywood, says "The Man With the Lantern" writing in the Vancouver Sun.

Takes Vacation Only she can decide, And it her decision is in favor of dycing, she need never be ashamed to admit it. Any beauty routine that makes for a lovelier appearance and more happiness is worth a trial. Only She Can Decide However, if a woman tolds a job where a youthful appearance is an advantazge, all of the trouble and expense involved may be very much worthwhile, Or if white hair makes a yong woman look more like her husband‘s mother than his wife she certainly is justified in dyeing it. Perhaps it doesn‘t. Perhaps it onty serves to soften her features, and makes her more attractive than ever, Job For An Expert In the first place, hair dyeing is a job for an expert â€" not an amaâ€" teur. One should go to a very good beauty shop, put herself in the hands of an experienced operator, insist that the graying locks hbe dyed to match exactly the hairs that are not yet white. It is a misâ€" take for a woman whose brown tresses are streaked with gray to have her hair dyed red, or black, or blonde. When the job is finishâ€" ed, her hair should be simply brown (as it once was) instead of brown and gray. It‘s all very well for the 25â€"yearâ€" old to say, "I‘ll never dye my hair," or "I think gray hair is beautiful, and why in the world do women hate it?"
