H e stared strangely, curl* oualy at the disordered visitor. “ I have come here twenty miles on a hurried order,” summarised Hope. « He took a folded bit o f paper from hi* pocket. "D o you know W arren? Warren, of the Vulcan On.?” he added, inquiringly. “ W hy— yes,” admitted the clerk, stand ing up and rubbing his eyes. “ I)o you know his handwriting, also?*’ “ I think I do.” “ There's a specimen o f it.” “ Yes. ’ tis,” slowly and wooderingly nodded the clerk, as he perused a scrawl ordering “ the delivery to bearer” o f a certain satchel in a certain closet in the, house. “ Queer, to send for bis satchel that’s been here so lon g! I ’ll get it for you, though.” “ Be speedy, then, and— careful.” “ Kh !” “ It might hold some o f his goods— see?” “ O h ! dynamite? Yea, but he knows enough to have it protected,” confident ly retortM the clerk. Gideon sank into a chair, pretty well exhausted. H e 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 death* lurked in the lit tle innocent looking leather receptacle, he well knew. He breathed more freely as he again reached the outer air. W ith the thought fulness o f a true man he took the middle o f the road, alooe anxious for the nonce in getting the explosive far and quickly from the proximity o f human beings. eluded haunt where his pursuit by E lite ’s allies had begun. Apparently the animal had made fre quent journeys between the two places, and instead o f returning home, had come hither, with Hope a -helpless burden across the saddle. The truth, the fortune o f this climax burst over the man’s soul with ardor. Not only had he escaped his enemies, but he had found C la ire ! Instantly weakness his injuries, his confusion, were forgotten, obliterated. T o that glorious (gee marvelingly looking down at him he raised his glance, full of fervor and love. • ~ . “ Claire— Miss T rem a in e!" he breathed, and slipped from the saddle. As he did so, unheeded the satchel o f dynamite dropped from his shoulder to his feet. But Hope noticed it not. fo r the moment absorbed in contemplation o f the begin ning and the end o f all the present mo tives o f his life. “ It is you ! It is y o u !” 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.” “ W ho is in this house now?” “ I, alone.” explained Claire. “ A wom an has been in charge, but ahe went away last evening, leaving me securely locked in. She w ill soon return.” “ Why did you not try to escape------ ” began Hope. “ Because they have' led me to believe you desired that I remain here.” “ W a it !” Gideon Hope flashed from the spot. Soon he was at the front door. W ith a great billet o f wood he 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 fo r immediate explanations. Let me lift you to the saddle. Ride to the nearest town, and aw ait my coming.” “ But you?” faltered Claire, and there waa no mistaking the tender light that shone from her anxious eyes upon the man she bad 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 ja iler when she returned, and force from her lips a confession that would enable him to intelligently proceed about a raid upon the inmates o f that other isolated house which harbored the Kanes and their infamous associates. “ I w ill do as you say,” assented Clairs, and moved toward the grazing horse. “ But— w ait,” interrupted Hope again. H e had brought her from the house with out any Brad covering or wraps. Now he explained and left her side momentar ily. . H e was not gone two minutes, and re turning with the articles he had gone for, he cleared the staircase four steps at m time, as a shriek from the outside warned him o f some peril or alarm on the part o f Claire. When he came around to the side o f the house the horse had stampeded into an adjoining field. Upon the green sward where Hope had left her was Claire, in a dead faint. N o other person was in view. W hat had happened? Quickly Hope lifted her bead in hia 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 H ops quickly. “ That m an!” “ You mean?------ " “ Kane.” “ H e was h ere!” exclaimed Hope, in absolute amazement. “ Y e s !” she panted, looking a boat her, ail in a tremble. “ W hen?” “ W hile yon were gone.” She dung to him hysterically. “ Oh, M r. H o p e !” she cried, “ protect me from him if he comes again------” “ Do not fear for that,” assured Hope. “ T o o are certain it was Kane?” Flutteringly Claire related a singular story. Hope had no sooner gone into the house than Kane had appeared. W ild faced, his garments disordered, s broken chain dangling from one wrist, he had burst upon her appalled view. H e bad sprung to her side, seised her arm, in harried accents announced that riie must at once accompany him in flight. I t was his desire— Gideon Hope’s com mand. She bad struggled. H e sought to drag her from the spot. Something he caught from her incoherent words, that she dis believed and disregarded him, that Hope was even now in the house, that the horse, the satchel, he had brought hither. “ I called for help,” narrated Claire. “ Suddenly Kane'a eyea flared with a strange, eager light. H e sprang toward the satchel, saying: T h is is Hope’s? Then it contains the m oney! I f you will not go with me, at lesat I have the fo r tune.’ Then I fainted away.’ “ The dolt— the victim 1 That satchel contains------” Hops was interrupted. A flying horse woman came up the road.

A strange breath, as to the stables o f the a a t nature gasping, a flutter o f the leaves C H A PTE R X X III. A t the edge o f the silent town Gideon Hope paused. What should he do with the dynamite to insure its harmlessneas, now that he had it?— that was the ques tion. H e recalled the explicit directions that Warren had given him: T o sink it in some unfrequented water course, and be remembered he had crossed a bridge above a winding little stretm, about a mile from the town. Tow ard it Hope bent his. course. He had proceeded a distance when a doll sound grew into momentarily augmenta tive resonance and distinctness. Klappetty klop— klappetty klop— klap- petty klop! * In the soft moonlight be observed ap proaching tw o horsemen. A n 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.” Ho he drew aside into some bushes fringing the road. I t was well that be did so. As the men passed him he was positive he hud seen them in the garden a t the private asylum— hired appendages o f that nefarious institution. As they rounded a curve in the road out o f view. Gideon resumed his way. About five minutes later, as he was nearing the bridge, almost noiselessly a man mounted on a horse emerged from the thickets and nearly run him down. H e brought his animal to a sharp halt — he stared hard at Hope. Piece by piece he seemed inspecting his clothing as if identifying him from description. Gideon stood his ground. Soon he started to move on. C lick ! “ I want y o n !” spoke the horseman, and he now held a revolver in his hand. H e ran his horse fairly upon Hope, leaned over, and aimed a blow at him with the weapon. Gideon dodged. Then be grappled with the form leaning toward him. He felt a stinging pain in one shoul der— the firearm bad exploded. Bnt in wrath and strength he clang to the fellow, dragged him from the stirrupa, and giving him a mighty fling, sent his head cracking across a mass o f bowlder». The satchel he had carried strapped across one shoulder. A s the man lay senseless. Hope started again for the riv er. He staggered. The horse, well train ed, had not moved away. As he began to experience a strange diaaineae, Hope palled 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 harrying back. "U p — o n !” feebly ordered Gideon, but In sheer weakness be almost fell across the horse’s neck. Then there seemed a lapse o f abeer in sensibility. Again his brain slightly cleared, and he waa conscious o f being borne at a plodding gait along a wildwood bridle path. The steed must have taken a course out o f range of the regular road and the pur suing horsemen. Day was breaking. Gid eon knew that the ballet wound in his ■boulder was accountable for the great weakness that made him even forgetful o f the fateful burden o f dynamite that be still carried. H e lapsed into renewed unconsciousness — again revived. I t was broad daylight now.. The horse was browsing in a sort o f garden. Near by was a bouse. Hope straightened up in the saddle, tried to rally his confused faculties. n e lifted his eyes toward the building. A ll its windows were closely shuttered bnt one. T h at waa on the second floor, a ad barred. There his glance waa riveted. W aa It delirium, fancy? F or the roseate dawn illumined a figure, wonder eyed, casing 4ew a at him. C la ire!

Ae day broke, she faced the aua, and began, first, her faint, tw ittering note, then a slow, low trill, and finally her ful? burst o f glorious song. A man dashing through the brush, hat- leas, pale, yet eager, bearing a satnhel in his hand, looked up and echoed the exult ant note, and laughed gayly, triumphant ly. It waa Percy Kane. H e had escaped, had been forced to abandon the thought o f taking Claire away with him, but had he not in the satchel the other half of the severed bank notes? Y e a ! his folly led him to believe. H e was rich, and the money was the main thing, after all. As he hoped, planned, anticipated a new future in some new field, thus equip ped with a princely fortune, he grow half wild with reckless delight. He waved the satchel caressingly, he plunged on. Soon he came to a break in the landscape. F a ir valleys, a radiant, fertile expanse, spread out— the world lay all before h im ! “ The final hour!’ he exulted— “ and I am the v ic to r !” Yes, the hour had come— but not of victory, o f doom, instead— the hour of ripening dynam ite! Retribution and total extinguishment! H e knew no riiock or pain— simply a flashing dissolution. The 'dynamite had exploded, and he was blotted out. One last act o f justice the woman, Elita, performed ere with her unfortu nate father, ahe disappeared from the scene o f her recent endeavors, never to be seen there again. She gave to Gideon Hope some secret papers o f her dead hus band, proving^ his connection with the murder o f Everett Hope, and the base swindles that had been perpetrated against A lbert Tremaine, thus insuring a return o f a portion o f his loat fortune. Warren, o f 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 o f the guilty than his own fondly cher ished plana, but the recompense was of justice, and he was content. T o his country, to bis political aspira tions, he bade a final adieu. H e had love now to live for— love that had never faltered, though well nigh sac rificed— and, away from the scenes where its first inception had been harah and painful, and might prove haunting, he and Claire sought mutual forgetfulness o f the past and unalloyed joy for the future. (T h e End.) TEACHING BY MOVING PICTURES. S ir s le a l O p e r a t io n » and N ervou s D is e a s e s B e f o r e t h e C a m e r a . One o f the new uses to which mov Ing pictures are put Is teaching, and at least one bouse dealing In flints pub lishes a list o f some hundreds intended tor classroom use, says the New York Sun. Most peculiar o f all are the pictures o f operations Intended fo r display In hospitals and medical college«. In fact. It la 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 that their use w ill be so limited. Perhaps, however, the general public would not care to alt through a vaude ville show and at the end as the house was darkened read in letters o f light upon the screen: “ Rem oval o f a m yx omatous tumor o f the thigh.” or “ E x tir pation o f a bilateral exopthalmle goitre.” The catalogue, which describes these films ami which promises many more than are contained in the issue for this year, describes them in great detail. One series consists o f half a dozen oper ations all o f the same general nature, the “ Extirpation of encapsuled tumor*,” and In all more than one-fifth o f a mile o f film Is needed. Surgery Is not alone In being thus Illustrated. Medicine has Its pictures, more particularly to Illustrate the dis eases In which there is a characteristic walk. Various forms o f paralysis where the diagnosis is dependent on the gait are shown in detail. The pictures o f such a disease as paralysis agltxns show the characteristic rigidity o f the body when the sufferer is walking and o f the face muscles when talking. An unusual series illustrates the e f fect o f beri beri on the natives o f Borneo. Moving pictures also have their use In solving problems o f agriculture'aod public health. The dealers In films an nounce that by a process which they describe as mlcro-klnematography they can show the typhoid bacilli magnified 850 diameters In all stages o f growth and movement. Sim ilarly the circula tion o f blood In the web o f a frog’s foot Is shown and the movement o f the cblorophyl or green coloring bodies in the leaf. The possibility o f teaching geography In this w ay Is easily understood and the motion pictures camera has Invaded most parts o f the civilized world. Even the religious field Is not neglected and the attention o f Sunday schools and missionary societies Is called to such subjects as “ open air Bible class In India,” conducted by native evangelists or “ outcasts o f In d ia ; Procession of men, women and children who have embraced the Christian religion.” Zoology offers a list o f 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 o f these pictures have been made In the famous wild animal park o f Carl Hagenheck near Hamburg. O f the microscopic picture some #00 feet is devoted to the one subject a t “ life In a w ater butt,” with a cheerful collection o f views o f such creatures as megatherium bacilli and param ecin * og a «w arm o f water fleas.
