CHAPTER V.
TBX rAXJ. THAT roxxoYD rniDK.
UDDEXLY Theodore burst from
the floor of the cloud like a
meteorite and saw a long pro
cession of white and violet
Mgbts speeding past and away into the
ttslancc. the arc lights of a town set
Into apparent flight by the speed of bis
keadlong career before the wind. Par
ff In the glare of a locomotive fire
box he could sco a devilish black flre
saan. weirdly stoking.
The town fled away. The roar of the
"Wind rose- about him. He was whip
ped stlngingly by tbe branches of a
tall tree; then a lower one bowed him
through Its dense top. He laid bold
C a slim birch, and. as it bent like a
Inning rod under bis weight, he let go
the sheets of his parachute, the wind
pilled from tho silken leach, and he
tumbled heavily into a mattresa-llke
fcridnl wreath bush, over an asphalted
"Walk. and. eased down by the shrub
Wry, be rose unhurt, so far as bo
ceald feel, to find himself by a rustic
eat near a dry fountain. On bis left
he could make out a long building
three or four stories high.
A high wall running back from each
ad of this structure seemed to him to
bound the garden, for a garden be
aessed It to be. Back in seme crepus
ccUr jungle he heard tbe throaty bel
low of a great dog.
Following tbe wall, he fonnd It In
tegral with that of the house. It was
Mank and high and Insurmountable.
He reconnoltered tbe rear wall to a
brick barn Into which it was built.
He returned to tbe long bouse and
stole across to one side, where he
found a door through tbe wall, tight
hut and Impregnable.
Calling up bis scattered courage, be
went with some steadiness up to a
leng veranda. A shrill whistle sound
ing from the top of tbe porch Instantly
commanded his attention. Theodore
Haw n man bn the roof just In tbe act
ef swinging himself down over the
cave.
"Get under here, old sport." said tbe
Telce. "and give a liberty loving class
mate a leg down."
Theodore reached up and steadied a
somewhat bony leg and was about to
Jet bis burden down when tbe liberty
loving one collapsed In all his mem
bers and came down by tbe run.
Carson started forward to raise tbe
demoralized fugitive to his feet. But
be wus already up and seemed to be
bowing and kissing his hand to an
imaginary audience.
My celebrated Avernus act," said
be. "Special gravitation expert to the
crowned beads! But, hist! Let me
greet thee! An ye be noble, salute
my check; an ye be slob, receive my
contemptuous thanks! Hey, old sport?"
Carson stood mute, aloue with a pos
sible lunatic and a very probable dog
la a walled garden Into which he had
dropped from the night sky.
"From your caput cometh a rattle
like a muted Castanet," went on the
Strange personage, "and anon like a
"battery of telegraph sounders. Stay!
,1a it possible that it emanates from
'the clattering of your teeth? Caitiff,
you are scalrt or In an ague that
would reduce a foundry rattler to
matchwood! Art cold, fair youth?'
"A little," replied Carson. "1 am
lightly dressed."
Then come, come away, tra-la-la,
with me, to a realm of balmy air and
breezes of Ceylon. To heel, and If
thy heavy hoof but scrape tho grave)
to betray our flight thou dlest, and all
thy wad Is gobbled by the privy coffer
of the emporium. To heel!"
With a swift darting movement the
stranger turned and. followed obedi
ently by Carson, went across to a
building which Tbeoddre guessed to lie
a greenhouse. His guldo opened the
door and stood back with elaborate
courtesy that Carson might precede
him. Entering, Theodore found him
self among beds of flowers which
tiled the houso.
"It Is too dark," said his guide, re
joining him, "to mako tho exchange
of curds more than an empty and
Invisible formality. Yet I would fain
know more of you than the bright and
nappy technique of your tooth chat
tering." "1 don't understand." answered Car
on, "I came hero by accident."
"Quito sp." Interposed his lntorlocu
tor. ''Let's alt down by tho American
Beauty bed there. If wo might strike
In a state, to coin a word, of orey eyed
wooilness. 1 mny say that I enmo my
self by accident and without tuennlnn
to do so or otherwise. I must havo a
smoke!" Then came tho scratch ot
tho match, and Theodora scrutinized
the face by the tlnre of tho match as
with nervous, unsteady movements tho
stranger lighted the weed.
no was n medium sized person, with
deep set eyes flickering from their env
cms with a blurred sharpness. His
faco wns sallow and colorless, with
hollows In the checks. Ills nose wns
Irregularly notched In profile, Uko tho
stub of something else broken off hln
face.
"My name Is Carson." said Theo
dore, "and 1 nm from tho south, from
Alabama. P-
"Cralghcad Is mine." rejoined the
other. "I nm from here and elsewhere.
There are twenty places where I might
vote were there any question under the
un worth voting on. I think 1 may
Tenturo to give you, sir. ns my perma
nent residence, until further notice
only, tbe Hat Mort. Paris."
"I" began Carson.
"Tho Rat Mort." Interposed Craig
head. "One deep midnight in the dear,
dread past beyond recall I was ejected
from the Rat Mort because my conduct
was not up to the thcrctoforo undls-

dosed standards of the place from
the Rat Mort actually trun out, to
coin an expression! Doth It not open
glimpses of a depravity hitherto fabu
lous? And when I have been graduated
from this emporium I shall return,
pride In my port meaning nothing
vinous defiance in mine eyes, and I
ball sit down In the Rat Mort and be
have myself for long, long periods of
time, for ages.
Carson grew somnolent- Mr. Craig
head sat upright, making occasional
elocutionary gestures with bis cigar
hand.
Morning came. Two or three men
came past the greenhouse, went round
it and walked away again, as if mak
ing some sort of search. They came
back after a time and entered. One
was a tall, athletic, ruddy complexion
ed. youngish man, who seemed to be
the leader of the trio. They gazed at
tbe sleeping Carson and Craighead as

Dandruff Easily Cured.
In fact Charles Strang, the drug
gist, has a certain hair restorer call
ed Parisian Sage, which costs only
50 cents a large bottle, that is guar
anteed to cure dandruff in two
weeks or money back.
Parisian Sage is the discovery of
an eminent student, scientist and
specialist, and is made in this coun
try only by tho Giroux Mfg. Co.,
Buffalo, N. Y.
Parisian Sage is a most pleasant,
daintily perfumed hair dressing, and
besides curing dandruff, your drug
gist will return your money if it
fails to stop falling hair or itching
of tho scalp.
It will make hair grow, and women
who deBiro soft, beautiful and lux
uriant hair can have it in two weeks
by using this famous, quick-acting
preparation. It is not sticky or

GOOD TIME IS MADE
TO AND FROM CRATER LAKE
nMBssBBsBscarri
A week ago Sundny morning P. L.
Camps, with his five-passenger Ford,
25-horsepower touring car, left Ash
land for the Klamath region, says tho
Tidings, having as passengers J. 0.
Iloyt, president, and two other offi
cials of the Wnrren Construction
company. They went by way of
Green Spring mountain, over tho
roughest road, so Camps says, that
he ever laid his eyes on, yet never
theless they arrived iu Klamath Falls
in seven hours. Thoy afterwards
visited Fort Klamath and Crater
Lake, going clonr to the rim of tho
lake with the motor, taking tho trip
more leisurely. They left the lake at
10 a. m. last Thursday, stopping two
hours in Sams Valley to inspect n
ranch of 270 acres which the Wnrren
Construction company owns in that
vicinity, and reached Ashland the
same day at 8:30 p. m., without de
lay or hitch of any kind, returning by
way of Medford. Considering that
it was a hard road to travel, the ex
cursionists think that they mado a
pretty good record, the speedometer
recording 350 miles.
