A Political By WELDON CHAPTER XXII. (Continued.) - The clerk roused up aa Hope approach ed his desk. He stared strangely, curl ously at the disordered visitor. "I have come here twenty miles on a hurried order," summarized Hope. He took a folded bit of paper from his pocket. "Do you know Warren? Warren, of the Vulcan Co.?" he added, inquiringly. "Why yes," admitted the clerk, stand ing up and rubbing his eyes. "Do you know 'his handwriting, also?" . "I think I do." "There's a specimen of it." "Tea, 'tis," Blowly and wonderingly nodded tlie clerk, as he perused a scrawl ordering "the delivery to bearer" of a certain, satchel in a certain closet In the house. "Queer, to send for his satchel that's beeu here so long! I'll get it for you, though." "He speedy, then, and careful." "Eh !" "It might hold some of his goods aee?" "Oh ! dynamite? Yes, but he knows enough to have it' protected," confident ly retorted the clerk. Gideon sank into a chair, pretty well exhausted. He felt a trifle grewsome as, bearing a dust-covered satchel, the clerk reappeared. His hand shook as he took it. Strange thrills ran through his be ing. A thousand deaths lurked in the lit tle innocent looking leather, receptacle, he well knew. He breathed more freely as he again reached the outer air. With the thought fulness of a true man he took the middle of the road, alone anxious for the nonce in getting the explosive, far and quickly from the proximity of human beings. CHAPTER XXIII. At the edge of the silent town Gideon Hope paused. What should he do with the dynamite to insure its harmlessness, now that he had it? that was the ques tion. lie recalled the explicit directions that Warren had given him : To sink it in some unfrequented water con rue, and be remembered he had crossed a bridge above winding little stretm, about a mile from the town. Toward it Hope bent his course. He had proceeded a distance when a dull sound grew into momentarily augmenta tive resonance and distinctness. Klappetty klop -klappetty klop klap petty klop ! In the soft moonlight he observed ap proaching two horsemen. An' instant suspicion assailed him. Suppose they were allies of the mismated pair at the isolat ed house, scouring the country for him? "I'll take no chances," he decided quiet ly "at least until the dynamite is dis posed of." So he drew aside into some bushes fringing the road. It was well that he did so. As the men passed 'him be was positive he had seen them in the garden of the private asylum hired appendages of that nefarious institution. As they rounded a curve in the road out of view, Gideon resumed his way. About five minutes later, as he was Hearing the bridge, almost noiselessly a man mounted on a horse emerged from the thickets and nearly ran him down. He brought bis animal to a sharp halt he stared bard at Hope. Piece by piece he seemed inspecting his clothing aa if identifying him from description. Gideon stood his ground. Soon he started to move on. Click ! "I want you !" spoke the horseman, and he now held a revolver in his hand. He ran bis horse fairly upon Hope, leaned over, and aimed a blow at him with the weapon. Gideon dodged. Then he grappled with the form leaning toward him. He felt a stinging pain in one shoul der the firearm had exploded. But in wrath and strength be clung to the fellow, dragged him from the stirrups, and giving him a mighty fling, sent bis head cracking across a mass of bowlders. The satchel he had carried strapped cross pne shoulder. As the man lay senseless, Hope started again for the riv r. He staggered. The horse, well train ed, had not moved away. As he began to experience a strange dizziness, Hope pulled himself into the saddle, hurried by shouts around the bend in the road. The two horsemen in advance had prob ably, heard the shout, and were hurrying back. "Up on !" feebly ordered Gideon, but In sheer weakness he almost fell across the horse's neck. Then there seemed a lapse of sheer in sensibility. Again his brain slightly cleared, and be was conscious of being borne at a plodding gait along a wlldwood bridle path! The steed must have taken a course out of range of the regular road .and the pur suing horsemen. Day was breaking. Gid eon knew that the bullet wound in his shoulder was accountable for the great weakness that made him even forgetful of the fateful burden of dynamite that he still carried. i He lapsed into renewed unconsciousness -again revived. ' f It was broad daylight now. The horse . was browsing in a sort of garden. Near by waa a house. Hope straightened up in the saddle, tried to rally his confused faculties. He lifted his eyes toward the building. All its windows were closely shuttered hut one. That was on the second floor, and barred. There his glance was riveted. Waa It delirium, fancy? For the roseate dawn Illumined' a figure, wonder eyed, gazing lown at him. Claire I CHAPTER XXIV. This had tlAnnenoH Th hnraa that had safely borne' Gideon Hope to this unlooked-for destination belonged, as he had Inferred, to the (tables of ths se Vendetta J. COBB cluded haunt where his pursuit by Elita's allies had begun. Apparently the animal had made fre quent journeys between the two places, and instead of returning home, had come hither, with Hope .a helpless burden across the saddle. . The truth, the fortune of this climax burst over the man's soul with ardor. Sot only had he escaped bis enemies, but be had found Claire 1 Instantly weakness, his Injuries, his confusion, were forgotten, obliterated. To that glorious face marvelingly looking down at him he raised his glance, full of fervor and love. "Claire Miss Tremaine !" he breathed, and slipped from the saddle. As he did so, unheeded the satchel of dynamite dropped from bis shoulder to his feet. But Hope noticed it not. for the moment absorbed in contemplation of the begin ning and the end of all the present, mo tives of his life. "It is you ! It is you I" slowly, dubi ously murmured Claire, an eager light in her beautiful eyes, her pale face working with intense emotion. "And you a prisoner !" cried Hope, rousing up. "Yes, for a long time. Since the night I was taken away to marry the man you bade me obey." "Who 1b in this house now?" "I, alone," explained Claire. "A wom an has been in charge, but she went away Inst evening, leaving me securely locked in. She will soon return." "Why did you not try to escape " began Hope. . "Because they have led me to believe you desired that I remain here." "Wait!" Gideon Hope flashed from the spot. Soon he was at the front door. With a great billet of wood be dashed it from place. Up a stairway he made advance, and before his irresistible assaults door after door gave way. Pale, excited, apprehensive, the fair captive was brought out into the garden. "Listen," spoke Hope, all thought and action ; "You are trembling, weak, ex cited. There is much to do, and no time for immediate explanations. Let me lift you to the saddle. Ride to the nearest town, and await my coming." "But you?" faltered Clnire, and there was no mistaking the tender light that shone from her anxious eyes upon the man she had learned to obey so implicitly and love so devotedly. "I will remain here for a time. I have something to do;" answered Hope seri ously. There was the dynamite to dispose of. And then, too, he had resolved to con front Claire's jailer when she returned, and force from her lips a confession that would enable him to intelligently proceed about a raid upon the inmates of that other isolated house which harbored the Ivanes and their infamous associates. I will do as you say," assented Claire, and moved toward the grazing horse. "But wait," interrupted Hope again. He bad brought her from the house with out any head covering or wraps. Now he explained and left her side momentar ily. He was not gone two minutes, and re turning with the articles he had gone for, he cleared the staircase four steps at a time, as a shriek from the outside warned him of some peril or alarm on the part of Claire. When be came around to the side of the house the horse had stampeded into an adjoining field. Upon the green sward where Hope had left ber was Claire, in a dead faint. No other person was in view. What had happened? Quickly Hope lifted her head in his arms, and murmured his anx iety and solicitude into her white, pulse less face. Thus several minutes went by, until at length her eyes opened. She shrieked. "Where is he?" she cried, with a fright ened start. "Whom?" inquired Hope quickly. "That man!" "You mean? " "Kane." "He was here!" exclaimed Hope, in absolute amazement. "Yes!" she panted, looking about her, all in a tremble. "When?" "While you were gone." She clung to him hysterically. "Oh, Mr. Hope!" she cried, "protect me from him if be comes again " "Do not tear for that," assured Hope. "You are certain it was Kane?'.' Flutteringly Claire related a singular story. Hope had no sooner gone into the bouse than Kane bad appeared. Wild faced, his garments disordered, a broken chain dangling from one wrist, he had burst upon her appalled view. He had sprung to her side, seized her arm, in hurried accents announced that she must at once accompany him in flight. It was his desire Gideon Hope's com mand. She had struggled. He sought to drag her from the spot. Something he caught from her incoherent words, that she dis believed and disregarded him, that Hope waa even now in the house, that the horse, the satchel, he had brought hither. "I called for help," narrated Claire. "Suddenly Kane's, eyes flared with a strange, eager light. He sprang toward the satchel, saying: This is Hope's? Then it contafns the money ! If you will not go with me, at least I have the for tune.' Then I fainted away.' "The dolt the victim! That satchel contains " Hope was interrupted. A flying horse woman came np the road. It was Elita. "You here!" she cried, facing Hope, "and you free ?'V she shouted at Claire. "Has he been here?" she demanded. "Your husband?' said Hope. "Yes what is that!" What, indeed ! . A strange breath, as of nature gasping, a flutter of t& Isavsa f the trees, ajctieck in blrdsong and ra- ""t whirr si caused by a harsh, cut ting crash at some near distance. Upon the topmost branch of a lofty e!m a robin bad built her nest. As day broke, she faced the sun, and began, first, ber faint, twittering note, then a slow, low trill, and finally her full burst of glorious song. A man dashing through the brush, bat less, pale, yet eager, bearing satchel in his hand, looked np and echoed the exult ant note, and laughed gayly, triumphant ly. , It was Percy Kane. He had escaped, had been forced to abandon the thought of taking Claire away with him, but had he not in the satchel the other half of the severed bank notes? Yes! his folly led him to believe. He was rich, and the money was the main thing, after all. As be hoped, planned, anticipated s new future in some new field, thus equip ped with a princely fortune, he grew half wild with reckless delight. He waved the satchel caressingly, he plunged on. Soon he came to a break in the landscape. Fair valleys, a radiant, fertile expanse, spread out the world lay all before him ! The final hour! he exulted "and I am the victor!" Yea, the hour had come but not of victory, of doom. Instead the hour of ripening dynamite! Retribution and total extinguishment ! He knew no shock or pain simply a flashing dissolution. The dynamite had exploded, and he was blotted out. One last act of justice the woman, Elita, performed ere with her unfortu nate father, she disappeared from the scene of her recent .endeavors, never to be seen thpre again. She gave to Gideon Hope some secri't papers of her dead hus band, proving his connection with" the murder of Everett Hope, and the base swindles that had been perpetrated against Albert Tremaine, thus insuring a return of a portion of his lost fortune. Warren, of the Vulcan Co., was re leased from the asylum. Hope saw to it that Kane's accomplices were punished. Fate had been more powerful in bring ing about the unmasking and destruction of the guilty than his own fondly cher ished plans, but the recompense was of justice, and he was content. To his country, to his political aspira tions, he bade 5 final adieu. He had love now to live for love that had never faltered, though well nigh sac rificed and, away fronv the scenes where jts first inception had been harsh and painful, and might prove haunting, he and Claire sought mutual forgetfulness of the past and unalloyed joy for the future. (The End.) TEACHING BY MOVINtTPTCTTTRES. Snrarteal Operation and N Dlaeaaea Before the 'Camera. One of the new uses to which mov ing pictures are put Is teaching, and at least oue house dealing In films pub lishes a list of some hundreds Intended 'or classroom use, says the Now York Sun. Most peculiar of all are the pictures of operations Intended for display In hospitals and medical colleges. In fact. It is explicitly stated that medical and surgical films are restricted to exhibi tion before such Institutions and can not be leased except under strict guar antees thut their use will be so limited. Perhaps, however, the general public would not care to sit through a vaude ville show and at the eud as the house was darkened read in letters of light upon the screen : "Removal of a myx omatous tumor of the thigh," or "Extir pation of a bilateral exopthalmlc goitre." The catalogue, which describes these films and which promises many more than are contained in the issue for this J year, describes them In great detail One series consists of half a dozen oper ations all of the same general nature, the "Extirpation of encapsuled tumors," and In all more than one-flfth of a mile of -film is needed. Surgery Is not alone In belntj thus Illustrated. Medicine hns its pictures, more particularly to Illustrate the dis cuses in which there is a characteristic walk. Various forms of paralysis where the diagnosis is dependent on the gait are shown In detail. The pictures of such a disease as paralysis agltans show the characteristic rigidity of the body when the sufferer is walking and of the tuce muscles when talking. An unusual series illustrates the ef fect of beri-beri on the natives of Borneo. Moving pictures also have their use in solving problems of agriculture and public health. The dealers in films an nounce that by a process which they describe as mlcro-klneinatography they can show the typhoid bacilli magnified 850 diameters in all stages of growth and movement Similarly the circula tion of blood In the web of a frog's foot is shown and the movement of ' the chlorophyl or green coloring bodies In the leaf. The possibility of teaching geography in this way is easily understood and the motion pictures camera has invaded most parts of the civilized world. Even the religions field Is not neglected and the attention of Sunday schools and missionary societies Is called to such subjects as "open air Bible class In India," conducted by native evangelists or "outcasts of India ; Procession of men, women and children who have embraced the Christian religion." Zoology offers a list of subjects that ought to charm any child into forget ting that he is learning. The subjects range from polar bear fishing to camels crossing the desert Very many of these pictures have been made in the famous wild animal park of Carl Hagenbeck near Hamburg. ' Of the microscopic picture some 600 feet is devoted to the one subject of "life In a water butt" with a cheerful collection of views of such creatures us megatherium bacilli and Paramecium or a swarm of water fleas. VVHYTHEYOUNG PEOPLE Aa Indiana Agricultural Laborer Writes President Roosevelt About Country Life. FARXEK5 ARE EIGHT-HOUR MEN Long Periods of Labor and Lack of System in Operations Ars Deplored, An Indiana farmhand has written a letter to President Roosevelt about the work which the Country Life Commis sion Is carrying on. The President has turned the letter over to the Country Life Commission and the commission has asked the farmhand to write some more. "I have been a farmhand Just long enough," 6ays the President's corre spondent "to learn the cause of so many sons and daughters and well meaning, reliable farmhands leaving the beautiful farm and country and going to the city. A lack of order and system on the farm and too long hours for a day is what is driving the best minds from the farm to the city and shop- What can we expect of a hand, or the farmer's wife and her posterity, in the way of Intellectual development when they get out of their beds at 3:30 In the morning and work from that time until 8 or 9 p. m.? And no attention paid to the sanitary condi tions of the home, and necessary con veniences on the farm for doing the farm work with the least labor and time." This man has given the Country Life Commission some very interesting first hand information about rural condi tions and recommendations based on a long experience in farm work and farm life. He has worked for all kinds of farmers, good and bad, he says, and he has always had his eyes open -to detect the causes of their success or failure. He has drawn his own con clusions and sets them forth In down right straightforward fashion. Edu cation pays in farming, he says. The farmer who plans out his work and carries It through in a systematic, business-like manner, just as the city man does, will be able td shorten the hours of laBor "So many farmers measure everything on the farm from the standpoint of muscle," he contin ues, "and are extreme in some things and slack in others. I decided sev eral years ago that life is too short to work for Peter Tumbledown farmers." "Compel the farmer to be a business man," he says. "Go into the homes of some of the farmers and the so-called farmers and ascertain how they live, and learn of their methods of doing the business in which they are engaged. And you will be surprised what a va riety you will find. Ascertain what they read, and what stresses they put on the literature that comes into their homes (If any comes) bearing on the business they are engaged In. See what per cent study tbelr business. "Give me the educated farmer as a boss and the educated farmhand as a hand. When I come In contact with a band or farmer that studies his busi ness I find him advancing, and it Is a pleasure to work for such men. "The majority of the farmers are eight-hour men, that Is, eight hours In the forenoon and eight in the after noon. Eight or ten hours on the farm cannot well be adapted In all cases, but it need not be from fourteen to sixteen hours. If the family arise every morn ing at 5 o'clock and the wife and daugh ters attend to the household duties, and the farmhands and sons attend to the chores and go to the field at 7 o'clock and work until 11 or 11:30 and go to the field again at 1 and keep at it until 6 o'clock, and go to the house and eat the supper and then do the evening chores, they have done a farm day's work. Regular hours for work, and regular hours for meals, and reg ular hours for sleep, and regular hours for rest and recreation, with plenty of standard papers and books, including the best agricultural papers and books, and a full faith in God, and good grub Is wanted. "The family should rise at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning as well as on week days, and do the necessary Sunday morning chores, and then go to church and show the business man In the city that Sunday on the farm does not con sist in changing the stock from one field to another, or salting It or un loading a lead of hnv that was brought in on Saturday evening. "Coming to the meals at the meal hour makes it easy on the wife so she can arrange her household duties In order, as can also the husband bis farm work. "Men of worth and 8tand!ng in the shop and city tell me that If order and system were used on the farm they would go back to the farm. If the farmer wants to keep bis sons and daughters on the farm be must not lengthen the hours for a day's work at ttoth ends. Limit the hours of work on the farm to twelve or thirteen with pay for overtime, and freedom to the hired man on Sunday." Not WkoUf Careless. Thomas Chett was a meek but care less clerk, who, through no greater fault than carelessness, was continually blu flenng In his work, nia most usual mistake was to misdirect letters, either by substituting a wrong street number, or by writing, say "Cal." for "Col." One day his employer laid on his desk a letter which had been ovei a mouth In the mails without reaching Its des tination and all because of Thomas' error. "Now, this has got to stop," said bis employer. "Such delays waste time and money. If you had used an envelope which hadn't had our address In the corner, we might never have known where this letter went to." "That's true," assented the humble clerk. "But I am always careful to use that kind of envelope Just for that rea son." Being a little slow of comprehension, he did not understand why his patient employer bit his Up and turned away smiling. A CONQUERED GRIEF. A Wor4 In Seaaon that Prove Be ot Grrat Benelt. If Edith Rodney boro her head brave ly abroad It drooped at home, for gos sip, In a little coIleg town, centers so persistently on a girl whose engage ment has been broken. At 19, too, one can suffer in tortured pride and humil iation far beyond the actual worth of the grief Itself. "What shnll I do, Claudia?" Mrs. Rodney asked her closest friend, a woman brilliant sympathtelc, attuned to the world's best harmonies. It worries me so. I hate to send (her away. It's such a confession of fail ure. Yet she is miserable here. Every thing reminds her, and will go on re minding her, of John. I think that there must be something horribly wrong with me when I, her own mother, can do nothing to comfort her." "I want to speak to her if you will let me," said Miss Trenholm, after a moment's thoughtful silence. I believe I can help her, because " Sudden ly her vol broke. "May I go In to hep now?" she asked, quickly. Edith was sitting at the library win dow, looking listlessly over to where the woods met the sky; a wonderful Corct world, more wonderful stll! for being painted just by nature herself. Miss Ttenhblm sat down beside her, ai:d took the girl's hands in bt th her own. "May I talk to your she naked. "Will you let me tell you that I know what has happened? May I speak to you about It?" s "Oh, It doesn't matter," said Edith. with almost weary resentment "Ev erybody knows now, and the world always despises the girl who's been Jilted, of course." 'It does not," replied Miss Tren holm. firmly. "It is for you to Indi cate to the world how it is to think of you, to talk about you, to Judge you. To let others pity you now to pity yourself Is to submit to spiritual poverty. Believe me! I know, be cause twenty years ago I suffered all that you are suffering, worried as you are worrying over the world's whis pers perhaps as much as over the loss itself." "You?" cried the girl, breathlessly. Claudia Trenholm bad always been her Ideal; radiant, shining lu the praise of all men and women, seeming ly untouched by time or grief. It seemed Impossible that such a thing could have happened to herl "It is Just the frequent little tragedy of the college town, my dear," said the older woman, somewhat sadly. "I was very unhappy over my broken engage ment, and I made my family suffer with me; burdened them with my sor row, until, by some heaven-sent chiinc, I read a book that helped me. It was Jane Austen's "flense and Sensibility.' Sou have read it I know. Don't you remember how Elinor Dnshwood tells her sister why she has never spoken to her famiy of Edward's faithlessness? Sw, even now I can say It by heart. 'But I did not love only him. and. while the comfort of others was dear to me, I was glad to spare them from know ing how much I felt I would not have you suffer on my account' Her splen did candor, her sincerity made me feel how ungenerous I had been, and made me know, too, that I could be spirit ually stronger than my own grief and pride." For a while neither spoke. Then Edith turned to her friend Impulsively. "I believe you have helped me!" she cried. "I had forgotten thot the oth ers must suffer with me. I do not love only him, and I want Just as you are -to be beyond spiritual poverty." Already the glowing rose of the bus- set outside had flushed her face, and ' lent It a look of hope. Youth's Cow pa i) Ion. IM with Knlvea. George Washington, John Adarm- Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe, the first five Presidents each ate pie with his knife. It was not until John Qulnoy Adams entered the White House that the substitution of the fork for the knife seems to have occurred to any citizen of America. "He contracted the habit while In France," said Mrs. Adams In an apolo- J getlc tone to some of her guests, "and he finds It difficult to break himself of , It since we returned home." So the first great general of the American army, the sturdy patriot of Massachu setts, the author of the Declaration of Independence, the chief advocate of the federal constitution and the originator of the Monroe doctrine, all ate pie with the knife.
