"So you wouldn't run away? That's

Morran was pressing her head back
to kiss her lips when she screamed
"John. John!"
Armitage came in through the ,
broken window, grim and disheveled, j
It took him but an Instant to under­
stand. He seised Morgan und flung
him against the wall. Jeanne ran
back of the table again, bar eyes wld«
with terror.
"You?" cried Morgan, running his
tongue over his Ups

"Yes. Defend yourself. I'm going
to kill yon, Morgan!"
The two men stared at each other

Armitage was first to move. He
I suddenly realised, as doubt! ss Mor-

satisfaction in steel; he wanted to
tear and rend and break yonder man
with his two bare hands
And this
I desire became registered In his face,
now no more agreeable to look at
than Morgan's.
Jeanne felt som ething vaguely prl-
- mordlal stir in her heart. She knew i
They were going to fight for her; '
and the victor should sling her over j
his shoulder and make off with her— ;
that Is, If she could find no means of
i defending herself.
The terror In her face resolved It-.

She dropped her hands from her ,
cheeks and caught hold of the edge |

Armttage's blade roae and fell vio­

not his master, with the sabre.
They pushed each other backward ,

Arniltge wanted his | (

Morgan was maneuvering to crowd |
Armitage against the table behind
which Jeanne stood.
"The bricks!" cried Jeanne. "Push ' ,
him back!”

She was without mercy; she wanted ,
Morgan to die.

"Thanks sw eetheart!” said Morgan. |
His fury, roused to Its highest pitch
b7 the sound of Jeanne’s voice and
Its significance, leaped beyond the ,
bounds of caution. For a few mo- ,

JUST ONE THING BUT— I DO IT HIGHT!
SAVING Will Put
that BIG IDEA
over
Haven't you a crackerjack Idea In your head
right now that would be a big success If you
could put It over? What prevents your going
ahead with it? Isn't It lack of capItaJ?
Nearly every man has some proposition that
he has figured out —som ething th at would
m ake his fortune If he could only get It
started. Hut ideas by themselves are rarely
valuable unless you have some money to put
them Ihto practical shape. We believe every
man who Is intelligent enough to create a
new plan or article Is also able to find some
way to save the money to curry It out. The
!rouble is to get started. One good scheme
s worthy of an o th er- so study out a wav
to get the savings account going at once.
You can do It. We will help you by paying
interest on every dollar yon deposit.
