still veiled, congratulated Larry Morris
and Betty.
“If you wish to be married before
you leave here,” he said, “there is the
old French priest who used to be my
mother’s chaplain still here. He is a
nonogenarian, but still a priest for all
that. He will marry you yet to-night,
If you wish, and I think, Miss I^incey,
It might be better if the ceremony wen-
celebrated.
Do you not think so?
There’s no knowing what may await
you.”
Betty blushed, but Larry hesitated
not a minute.
“Bring him on, bring him on," he
cried. “W e’ll be married to-night!"
“And I’ll be the best man," shouted
Johnny.
“And City Editor Burton can ush­
er."
“Will you let Meta be the -brides­
maid?" questioned Betty.
“Oh, but
what shall I do for a wedding gown?"
“If you weren’t so big,” said Tyoga.
surveying her critically, “we could loa i
you Mrs. Hackleye's mother’s bridal
robe. I have it still upstairs in an old
chest."
Meta and Tyoga had come in silent­
ly in the wake of Le Malheureux. “ But,
mother," interposed Meta, “ there are
other garments up in the old chest.
Perhaps we could make some of them
fit "
“Your wedding clothes will fit as well
as mine, anyhow," ventured Larry.
Put a woman on a desert island and
the prospect of a wedding will cause
her inventive faculties to evoke the
flesh-pots of Egypt from the barrenest
sand!
“The old chest" proved a treasure
house.
The gowns, the youngest of
them, were at least a quarter of a cen­
tury old, and some of them were of the
mode of the French empire. All were
rich with rare lace and heavily wrought
hand-embroidery. Some were of cloth
of gold, tarnished now with the scowl
of time, but exquisite still. There w ev
quaint old slippers, and a bridal veil
of the filmiest Honlton that ever came
off a loom.
No bride could be decked with more
loving hands than was Betty for her
midnight marriage in mid-Africa. Met*,
as bridesmaid, had a glowing frock of
scarlet satin and faintest amber lace,
and great topazes about her shining
ebony neck, and Tyoga produced a new
frock from somewhere. But Betty, ah,
Betty! An old court gown of cloth of
gold and yellowed satin was her bridal
robe.
Over it all ran delicately
wrought roses in faded pinks.
The
marvelous web of Honlton draped her
sweet face and rippled to the hem of
her dress. The neck of the dress was
low, and Betty’s white shoulders were
a sparkle of diamond pendants falling
from a high diamond collar Tyoga had
placed around her throat, and her
plump arms were half covered with
flowery bracelets. When they reached
the chapel Le Malheureux himself put
a diamond girdle around the bride’s
none too slender waist.
“ My gift to the bride,” he explained
Johnny’s head was the brightest
spot in the chapel. From the musty
odor within and the drip of water on
the moss-grown walls,
the chapel,
which had been reached through weird
ways, was evidently a subterranean
room. The altar was of ivory, the ser­
vice dazzling beyond belief, and the
altar cloths of exquisite workmanship.
The ebony pews were miracles of the
carvers’ art, and the ever-present leop­
ard skin rugs were on the floor. The
priest, bent double with years, and
with hair and skin as gray as the pell
of a field mouse, mumbled through the
long l^atln ritual, at a slow, nerve-
racking pace. The candles flickered
and the scent of the jasmine and lotus
with which Benoni had wreathed the
altar, and filled the great vases that
flanked the sanctuary, grew unbear­
able.
The wedding supper was laid in the
little sitting room. There were many
flowers, and the viands, oddly assorted
to occidental eyes, rested royally on
platters and dishes of pure gold. Nit-
body ate much, though Meta, Tyoga
and Benoni served assiduously.
Le
Malheureux touched nothing at all.
Betty, after several urglngs. forbore
to press him. She hud noticed that he
never drank before anyone, and had
long since grown accustomed to the
down-dropping veil, the closely shroud­
ed figure, the well-concealed feet and
hands.
When the last course
was
served Le Malheureux arose.
“Let me not be the skeleton at the
feast," he temporised, "but Time dors

that father had discovered Tiougaley
and had sent a force there to storm
it! At that time we knew only of the
mutiny."
“Then we did come Just In the nick
of time," exclaimed Johnny Johnson.
Larry squeezed Betty’s hand thank­
fully.
“No time for congratulations now,"
admonished Le Malheureux. “We must
depart with the dawn."
“How many of us will there be?"
asked Benoni.
“See— the two children,
Mr.
and
Mrs. Morris, Johnson there, myself,
Meta, Tyoga, my father, if he will go;
the Cure, and Hackleye,” counted Le
Malheureux.
“The murderer of your sister?"
broke In Johnson.
Le Malheureux raised his hand.
"H ush," he said, curtly. “You have no
right to accuse! We are not lawmak­
ers— we dare not Judge nor charge.
And be careful what you say before
the children. I beg of you that. We
will try to get to Khartoum.
From
there passage for you and the children
to England will be eaiy. And it will
leave me free to deal with what I
must."
CHAPTER XXI.
An hour later brought the dawn.
Guided by Meta, Larry and his wife,
and Johnny reached the yacht that had
brought Betty from America and found
the children still sleeping and Tyoga
und Hackleye already aboard.
The
Cure, fat and waddly, was trying ills
best to clamber on. Benoni was not in
sight, neither was Le Malheureux. A
few moments later they appeared, Le
Malheureux with a wallet in his hand,
Benoni carrying the old man,
who,
cursing and screaming with all his
might, was struggling against the iron
grip of the black.
"M y diamonds, my diamonds!
Let
mo have them. What else is worth In
life to me now since Cerisse has died.
Murderer, murderer!" ho shrieked at
Hackleye. “Ah, let me at h im !" Mr
Wayne raved like a maniac and tried
to leap on shore again, but they lashed
him to a chair and put a gag in his
mouth.
“Many as are his crimes, wo dare
not leave him to their hands," said Bo-
nonl, half regretfully, U seemed to
Larry.
The yacht took the river like a gull
on the wing. The morning breeze was
chill and portent of rain hung In the
sky, though the sun was lighting to
prick the thickly banked up clouds.
Fifty leagues had they gone, when City
Editor Burton, who hail not been left
behind, to Betty’s great delight, roared
like a hurricane.
Following the lion’s staro to the left
of them on the shore, they saw advanc­
ing up the river bank toward them t
horde of blacks. Benoni hurried the
women down stairs where the children
and the Cure already were, and reached
to lift the senior Mr. Wayne from his
moorings. But he was too late. The
yacht was now abreast of the barbar­
ians, whose leader with fine aim shot
his
quondom
tormentor
straight
through the heart with a long, fine ar­
row.
v
Benoni drew the gag from the old
man’s mouth and leaned over to look at
the arrow. Even superficial examina­
tion showed him the futility of aid. He
knew too well the poisoned barbs of
the tribe. Hundreds of arrows whis­
tled about the yacht, but glanced harm­
less from Its sides, and by rare chance
none struck Benoni. When he realized
that Mr. Wayne was beyond human
help he left the body as it was and
crawling to the hatchway dropped be­
low.
There be found the women In a tor­
ment of terror and the children, awak­
ened by their sobbing, nervously com­
plaining about the cramped quarters
and the rocking motion of the yacht.
“ What sort of fiends’ work is this
boat?" questioned Larry, though Beno­
ni and Le Malheureux had both risen
in his estimation since they had seen
him successfully married to Betty.
"It's my own invention," replied Le
Malheureux, with not a little pride in
ha tone. "Simple enough, too, If you

the query on Larry's face— “no press

that on the way over. And I warn you
as I warned her not to tamper with
it."
When I.e Malheureux paused, Beno­
ni went to him and spoke In African

Malheureux turned his post over to
Benoni. Then he went up alone to
view his dead.
He was gone a very long while, and
when he came back he neither ques­
tioned nor was questioned. Afterward
when the Americans went above and
found the body gone, and the deck
freshly scrubbed, they asked Benoni
what had been done with the corpse.
Benoni pointed silently to the river.
All day they followed the river and
its chain of lakes. At every possible

CHAPTER XXII.
December was crisping the air when
they tvld Narcisse Harcourt she might
leave the hospital.
“Not for any length of time, but Just
for a trip down town, If you wish,” said
Dr. Fothergtll. “Who do you want to
go with?"
“I'd like you, and Mr. Hartley,“ an­
swered Mrs. Harcourt, frankly. “I want
to go and buy some presents for these
nurses who have been so kind to me.
and I want—I want to go and see my
husband."
Dr. Fotherglll telephoned for Philip
and he was there shortly before noon
as the doctor had asked. Philip had
not been able to buy a new overcoat
that winter, and he felt more the Perl
outside the gate than ever, when Mrs.
Harcourt, In her rich furs and radiant
beauty, followed the doctor Into the
parlor.
The months In the hospital
had worked wonders with Mrs. Har­
court. The old, unfathomable brillian­
cy had left her eyes, but there was a
sweeter, a more human look within
them, and the weird alabaster tones of
her skin were replaced with a more
babyish purity of luster.
She was
more a woman, less a strange, unreal
phantom from another world. They
did their shopping first, but curtailed It
because the crowds In the stores stop­
per to gaze open-mouthed at the start­
ling beauty of Mrs. Harcourt, the grim
plainness of Dr. Fotherglll, and Philip
Hartley’s assiduous attentions to both
the ladies. Then In one department
store, some one whispered that the
woman In the luxurious furs was “that
mysterious Mrs. Harcourt, you know,”
and Phil had much ado to get both his
charges unharmed Into a waiting taxi­
cab.
Thither they went direct to the Jail.
Harcourt had not been told of their
coming visit, as his wife had expressly
wished it so. She went rapidly through
the dingy hall, and rattled Imperious­
ly at the bars of the door. Harcourt
was sitting moodily In one corner of
the room, as had been his habit of late.
He did not heed the rustle of silken
skirts nor the faint perfume that au-
reoled his wife.
"Harold,” she called, “Harold, oh,
Harold."
At sound of her voice he turned and
gasped. Then he rose, and like an old,
old man, walked over and thrust his
hands through the door.
' Narcisse,” he faltered, and whether
It was fear, or wonder, or admiration
in his face and voice, one could not
tell. Plainly he was 111 at ease.

Chemist Tells of Injurious Effect ot
Doctored Article on Stomach.
Kansas City, Mo., June 15.— The
contents of a bottle, said by govern­
ment attorneys to have contained
bleached flour, exploded during the
“ bleached flour” trial here today.
It
was while Professor S. F. Acre, o f the
chemistry department of Johns Hop­
kins university, was on the stand that
the explosion occurred.
“ What caused it?” asked an attor­
ney.
“ The formation of peroxide gas in
the flour,” answered the professor.
“ Decomposition as well as bleaching
would cause gas to form in flour, ” he
explained.
On cross-examination the professor
admitted that there were nitrites in
air, rainwater and melted snow.
Alfred Steigel, professor of clinical
medicine in the University of Pennsyl­
vania, testified that nitrites, when in­
troduced into a human body, lowered
the grade of the blood, depressed the
circulation, had an injurious effect on
the muscular tissues and excited in­
juries to the stomach and intestinal
tracts by impairing indigestion.
He
added that in 50 years of practice he
had never seen a case of nitrite poison­
ing.
Miss Hanna L. Wesslyng, o f the
government food laboratory, Chicago,
brought into court biscuits of her own
baking. The biscuits had been made
by Miss Wesslyng from some of the
flour seized by the government. Those
which had been subjected to the Greiss
re-agent test were pink.
Biscuits
made from unbleached flour subjected
to the same test retained their normal
color. Miss Wesslyng said the pink
color indicated the presence of nitrites.

203,635 Acres Eliminated From Wal­
lowa Forest Reserve.
Washington—The president has sign­
ed a proclamation eliminating 203,635
acres from the Wallowa national for­
est, in Oregon. The elimination is the
result o f a careful examination mode
by the United States department of
agriculture during the past summer,
which disclosed the fact that the areas
now eliminated were either open grass
land with very little timber, or tim­
bered areas so largely alienated that
further administration by the forest
service was considered impracticable.
The lands released are not needed for
watershed protection, and are not con­
sidered to be chiefly valuable for na­
tional forest purposes.
The principal eliminations occur in
townships 1 and 2 south, range 47 east;
townships 1 and 2 north, ranges 45, 46,
47 and 48 east; township 3 north,
range 42 east; township 4 north, 42
and 43 east; townships 5 and 6 north,
range 46 east, and township 6 north,
range 47 east. In addition, a strip of
land from one-half mile to three miles
wide is eliminated along the southern
boundary of the forest, in ranges 42 to
47 east. Section 6 and the west half
of section 5, township 4 north, range
42 east, is transferred from the Wal­
lowa to the Wenaha forest, the area
having been isolated from the Wallowa
by the large eliminations.
Harriman Officials Will Look Over
Route at Condon.
25 A C R E S BRING $45,000.
Condon— Members of the committee,
representing the people of Southern
Gilliam and Wheeler counties in their
campaign for improved transportation
facilities, has returned from Portland,
bringing the assurance that their ap­
peal will be considered by the officials
of the Harriman system.
The committee held a conference
with General Manager O'Brien and
other officials of the Harriman inter­
ests and submitted data showing the
large volume of freight and passenger
business which would become immedi­
ately available through the requested
extension of the Condon branch of the
0 . R. & N. from this city to Fossil, a
distance of 20 miles.
As a result o f this conference, Gen­
eral Manager O’Brien, accompanied by
R. B. Miller, traffic manager, and W.
W. Cotton, general counsel, will come
to this city shortly and look this sec­
tion of the state over wiLi a view to
determining the feasibility of the ex­
tension that has been asked.
