Dealers everywhere Writ, for booklet, "W.rmlh . in Cold Cornari." Standard Oil Company (CALIFORNIA) San Francisco is Priirt Shop., Second Episode of "T HE MASTER K E Y" Many a man writes down on paper the thiiiRs ho can not articulate. James Gallon, dreaming of two women, taciturn and sifent as he was, wrote down the thoughts which he could not express in speech. His dai ry, well thumbed, held the history of many a lonely night; but all of these nights there was one that stood out in his mind: It was the darkness enclosing a wo man upon a bed. He still heard her whispered cry: "You speak of God, Tom; but I have no religion but motherhood." Before his closed eyes came the vision of a lamp lit then the aparition the face of his daugh ter. One life had fled, possibly ap palled by the horrors of a world that recks not of pure humanity. Yet there was in the dead woman's arms a child grotesquely asleep, as if a wakened to the sorrows this mother had not known. "Ruth," he cried. There was no an swer from the still woman in the darkness but thus he had christened his only child. And Gallon knew he was getting old. The problem before him was no longer dim and vague as it had been in the days of his prime but abso lutely distinct and clear: What was to become of Ruth when he died. Ho AN AERONAUT By FRED L. YOUNG Wlion -Uio, steamer Orinoko. on her way from Naples to New York, 'stop ped at Gibraltar a man came aboard with a number of boxes, which were marked "Machinery." He was n pleasant spoken, hail-fellow-well-met gort of person, who made acquaint nuce rapidly with the other passengers, Ho bet freely on the dally run of the ship and if he won opened wine to cel ebrate his good luck and If he lost opened wlno to celebrate tho winner's luck. In either case lio opened wine. Billy Mlckleton, the gentleman rt fcrred to, soon becamo known as the best fellow on the ship. "What's in all thoso boxes. Mlckle ton, you brought aboard with you?" asked n passenger. "When we approach the Atlantic coast you'll all know. I'm going to make an experiment that will attract tho attention of the world." "Why not tell us now?" "I'm under contract with a New York newspaper to keep the secret till the lost moment The paper Is to have tho exclusive rights of publication." Nothing so absorbs people as curios ity, and the Orinoko had not long passed Madeira beforo everybody was talking about Mlckleton nnd the experi ment ho was going to make. Some be lieved it to bo a trial trip of a new kind of boat, whoso parts were packed In the boxes. Others guessed that ho had invented a light submarine to bo managed by ono person. He would put It In the water when tho ship was off Sandy Hook nnd, moving under water, beat her to hrr dock, A third crowd guessed that Mlckleton Intended to be shot out of n mortar from tln ship's deck and come down with (latent parachute. When the ship was COO miles rron. port Mlckleton secured the permission of the captain to remove tho contents of tho boxes to the upper deck. When they had been unpacked and carried to tho deck Mlckleton set to work and put together an aeroplane. The pas MengerH gathered about him to watch, nomo who know something about aeroplanes curious to xeo the machin ery put In. But Mlckleton wolted till they ull turned In for the night to do thin work, and when they enmn on deck In tho morning they found tha aeroplane concealed under n canvim cover Tho ciipliilii kindly ordered (he whip' rirpeiiler lo inuko n puxmiKo for thtf iimcliliiif by diking down I lie fctern roll iiml ol her w Ui render it Mart xlbli.

I sternly put out of his mind the thought of his former partner the man was he dead? If he had not died that night in the gulch if he were still alive, knowing the secret of the Master Key, who would save Ruth from his vengeance? Then there arose before Gallon's mind the straight, strong, almost aus tere figure of his mining engineer, John Dore. Youthful, of course, but ho had proved himself almost wholly competent in ovory task .that had been given him. And as though Kate desired to give further proof of Dorp's manliness, she arranges for him shortly after this, a fearful undertaking. Ruth, while exploring the tunnela, is thrown into an ore car by a terrif'c explos ion. This explosion sends the car on its downward flight out of the tunnel and over the trestle. She is in dan ger of a tragic death if the car goes over the dump at the end. Dore, sup erintending the operations of a trav eling bucket, sees her predicament. He orders the bucket swung loose by its cable and, hanging down on his legs, he swings over the girl and pulls her in and up to him, the car rushing on and smashing over the ore heap. But what of Gallon? Those whom wc most want lo for get reappear at strange times. James Gallon saw the ghost of his partner, whom he had murdered on for funds fo eiirfjT oiiT liTs experiment and If he let out ..nythlng he would forfeit a small fortune. When a man became too persist., nt Billy opened 11 bottle of wine. Fire Island was sighted at 5 o'clock In tho morning. At 10 .Mlckleton wns ready for his flight. The Inst article, he put on his machine was n small box He opened It and showed provisions. From the size or the box It might con tain food mid drink to last a week. !t wns evident from till that the flight was to be a long one. and It was tho opinion of most of I he passengers that Mlckleton was intending to make straight across the Atlantic back to Gibraltar. If necessary he would havo stopping points at the Azores and Ma. delra. Just beforo starting Mlckleton went to the wireless olllce nnd sent a mes sage In cipher to a New York news paper. If any one hud any doubts as to the truthfulness of the aeronaut's exein.es for not telling his Intention this removed them. Leaving tho wireless ofllce. he returned to his aeroplane, went under the canvas, made a limit Inspection of the parts, then, removing the cover, got aboard. Sailors on a run pushed him nlong the dock; he caught the air. hardly striking the water surface, then rose gradually. The ship was steaming westward nlong the Long Island coast The aoro plane, rising, turned toward the land, passed over the eastern end of the Island and gradually passed out of sight The Orinoko reached Sandy Hook about noon, but, being delayed at quarantine, was not docked till tho next morning. Every passenger wns on deck nnd eager to read the account of the aeroplane tllgtit. the start of which he had witnessed. -Not n single newspaper mentioned It Mr. Mlckleton passed out of tho minds of the passengers of the Orl noko ns he had passed out of their sight over Montauk Point nnd was for gotten. But the time came when they read the newspaper account which was a very different one from what they had been told about It reported how the slickest smuggler working be tween Europe nnd America, who had long evaded customs olllcers, bad been caught red tin tided Among his smug Cling devices the nrtlclo gave an nc count of his getting a million -dollars' worth of diamonds In free of duty by means of nn seroplane from tho d: a Itiut. Public Sentiment. "J)w fun imp HtHfU mttUUtli in JWl the crest of the hill above the mine they had discovered years ngo togeth er. Yes, Wilkerson, the partner, was alive. He had continually searched for Gallon. In some vague way, Gal lon had realized this, and his fears had been summarized by the words written down in the dairy: Wilkerson still alive tonight. When will he come into the day? He shall never have the key that will un lock my girl's happiness. I will trust John Dore." But it was no aparition that Gallon had seen, first on the crest of the hill and then in the window; it was really Wilkerson who, after one satisfied glance rodo swiftly away toward Val ley Vista. It was midnight when he rapped on the door of the railroad station and called the sleepy agent waiting for the express. This is the telegram he sent: Vnllc Vista, Cal. "Jean Darnell, Astor House, N. Y. "Have found Gallon at last. Ad dress Master Key Mine tomorrow. "Wilkerson" Who was Jean Darnell? Well she had a mission of vengeance, too. In cidentally she welcomed money. Wil kerson had to have it if he ever ex pected to possess her. When Ruth came to make her flight with the help of her sweetheart, John Dore, she had two crafty pursons lo contend with. The Dread Alternative. The long HiilTerluu wife of a habitual drinker In a .Mississippi town served notice on the local dramshop keepers this was In the old days before pro hlbltlon that she would prosecute any one selling her husband Intoxicants So when the gentleman In question, slightly waverous on Ills pins but dig nified and scholarly an always, dropped into his favorite snloon that evening and called for a toddy the barkeeper only shook his head. "Can't do It, colonel,"- he said "Sorry, but you know how It Is." ilBilL sir,!' snld the colonelw "L That mieht fi have happened to ME WE never know when to look for it. Well and happy today-- sick, disabled or dead to morrow. Wonder if that poor chap loft anything. Well if my time ever comes, I'll know that the wife and babies arc provided for.
