"I was visiting Atlanta during tho lato wavo or reform there," recently said n Phlladelphlaii, "whon I over heard an amusing conversation in a barber shop between a patron and tho boy who shines shoes. "I Baw you playing craps this morn ing," said tho patron, by way" of n Joko. "If tho grand Jury got at you, It would mako you tell nil about tho gambling among tho darkios." "No, sun, doy wouldn't," protested tho negro, warmly. "I knows enough about do law to know dat a man doan havo t' toll nothln' dat cremates his so'f." 1 Better Than Refrigerator. It is woll known that food can bo preserved without undergoing de composition for a much longor period in a container, from which tho air has been nearly exhausted, than in tho customnry rofrlgcrator. In a nearly absoluto vacuum milk, llsh and meat havo been preserved for months unchanged, without further oxponso than that of withdrawing tho air originally present in tho receptacle. They Don't Speak Now. "You love long rambles In tho coun try r" asked tho girl In tho white sweater. "Yes, indeed," responded tho young man in th(o green hat with tho purple band and buckled shoos.

Instead of pro scribing drugs, ho put us both on Grapo-Nuts and wo began to Improvo immediately. "It waa tho key to a now life.

CHAPTER XXIX. Continued. "Oh, how thankful I am!" cried Mrs. Knapp. "Thero Is a wolght of anxloty off my mind. Can you lmag ino what I havo been fearing In tho last month?" "I hud thought a littlo about that myself," I confessed. "But wo aro not yet out of tho woods, I am afraid." "Hark! what's that?" said Mrs. Knapp apprehensively. Tho carriage was now making Its way through tho bad stretch in tho lano, and thero was littlo nolso in Its progress. "I heard nothing," I said, putting down tho window to listen. "What was it?" "I thought It was a shout." There was no noiso but tho steady splash of horses' hoofs In tho mud nnd tho sloppy, shearing sound of tho wheels ns they, cut through tho wot soil. As wo bumped and groaned again through tho ruts, however, thoro arose In the dlstnnco behind us tho flerco barking of tho dogs, their voices In nnger nnd alarm. Thoro was a faint halloo, and a wild er barking followed. Then my ear caught tho splashing of gulloplug hoofs behind, and In a moment tho man of tho houso rodo bosldo us. "Thoy'vo come," ho said, "or, any how, somebody's come. I let tho dogs looso and they will havo a lively time for a whllo." A few yards moro brought us to tho main road, nnd onco on tho firm ground tho horses trotted briskly for ward, while the horsomun dropped bo hind tho hotter to obsorvo nnd glvo tho nlarm. I leaned out of tho window. Only tho deadened sound of tho hoofs of our own horses, tho deadened roll of our own carriage whoelB, woro audlhlo in tho stillness of tho night. Thou I thought I henrd yells and faint hoof bents In tho dlstnnco, but again thoro was sllonco except for tho mufllcd nolso wo mndo In our progress. "Can't wo drlvo fustorV" asked Mrs. Knapp, whon I mado my report. "I wouldn't spoil thoso horses for $500," growled tho drlvor whon I passed him tho Injunction to hasten. "It's $1,000 for you If you got to tho wharf ahead of tho othor3," cried Mrs. Knapp. "And you'll havo a bullet In your hldo If you don't keep out of gunshot of them," I ndded. Tho doublo inducement to hasto had its effect, and wo could feel tho Bwlftor IS J i motion of tho vehicle under us, nnd sco tho moro rapid pnssago of the trees and fonccs that lined tho way. Tho wild rlda appeared to last for ages. Tho fast trot of tho horses was a funeral paco to tho flight of my ex cited and anxious Imagination. What If wo should bo overtaken? At last tho houses began to pass moro frequently. Now the road wns broken by cross streets. Gas lamps appeared, flicking fntnl and yellow In tho morning nlr. Wo woro onco moro within city limits. Tho panting horses novcr slackened paco. Wo Bwopt ovor n long bridge, and plunged down a shaded street, and tho llguro of the horseman wns tho only sign of llfo behind us. Of n 8tiddou thero sounded n long roll, as of a great drum boating tho rovelllo for an army of giants. Tho horseman quickened his paco and Gal loped furiously besldo us. "Thoy'ro crossing tho brldgo," ho shouted. "Whip up!" I cried to tho driver. "They aro only four blocks behind us." Tho hack swung around n fow cor ners, and then halted. "Hero wo aro!" cried Dicky Dahl at tho door. "You got aboard tho tuj; and push off. Juke and 1 will run up to tho foot of tho whnrf. If they como, wo can keep 'cm off long enough for you to got aboard." Tho tug was where It lay when wo loft, and at my hall tho captain nnd his crow of thrco woro astir. It was a moment's work to got Mrs. Knupp and her charge aboard. "Como on!" I cried to Dicky and his companion. And as tho lines wcro cast off they mado a running Jump on to tho deck of tho tugboat and tho vessel backed out into tho Btrcam. Whon tho mist and darkness had blotted out shoro, wharves and ship ping, tho tug moved at half-Bpeod down tho channel. I persuaded tho captain that thoro was no need to sound tho whistle, but ho declined grullly to Incrcaso his speed. "I might ns woll ho shot as run my boat ashore," ho growled, with a fow scamnnllko adjectives. I did not know of nny particular reason for arguing tho quostlon, so I Joined Mrs. Knnpp. "Thank God, wo uro Bare!" sho said, with a sigh of l'cllof. "Wo shall bo In tho city In half an hour, If that Is safoty," I said. "It will bo safoty for a fow days. Thon wo can dovlso a now plan. I havo a strong nrm to loan on uguln." Roturnlng to tho deck I found that tho light of tho morning waB growing. VesBols wero moving. Tho whlfitles of tho forry boats, as thoy gavo warn ing of their way through tho tniat, roso shrill on tho air. Tho wators woro atlll, a faint rlpplo showing In strango contrast to tho scone of lust night. "Thoro's a stoamor behind ub," said Dicky Dahl, with a worrlod look as I Joined him. "I've boon listening to It for flvo minutes." "It's a tug," said tho captnln. "Sho wns lying on tho other sldo of, tho whnrf last night." "Good hoavons!" I cried. "I'tit on full steam, thou, or wo shall bo run down In tho bay. It's tho gnng wo aro trying to get away from." Tho captain looked nt mo suspici ously for n moment, and was Inclined to resent my lnterforonco. Then he shrugged his shoulders ns though It was nono of his business whether wt wero lunatics or not so long ns we paid for tho privilege, nnd rang tho oiiRlno boll for full speed ahead. Wo had Just como tint of tho Oak land Creek channel and tho mist sud denly thinned beforo mh. It loft tho bny nnd tho city fair and wholesome In tho grny light, as though thu storm had wnshod tho grlmo nnd foulness from nlr and earth and renewed the freshness of life. Wo had como hut a fow hundred yards Into tho cloar nlr when out of tho mist bank behind us shot another tug. At tho exclamation that broko from us our cnptaln for tho llrst tlmo show ed luterost In tho speed of his boat, and whistled angrily down to his en gineer. "Wo can bent her," ho said, with n contemptuous accent on tho "her." "That's your business," I roturned, and walked nft to whoro Mrs. Knnpp wns standing, hnlf-way up tho steps from tho cabin. "Can they catch us?" Inquired Mrs. Knnpp, tho lines tightening nbout her mouth. "I think not tho captain says not I should sny that wo wero holding our own now." At this moment a tall, masslvo fig uro stepped from tho pilot houso of the pursuing tug nnd shook Its lists nt us. Tho hugo bulk, tho wolf-fneo, Just dls tlngulshnblo, distorted, dark with rngo and passion, stopped tho blood nnd I felt a fnlutncss ns of dropping from a height. "Doddridge Knapp!" I cried. Mis. Knnpp looked at mo In alarm and grasped thu rail. "No! no!" sho exclnlmod. "A thou sand times no! That Is Hlljah Lano!" 1 gazed at her In wondor. Not Dodd rldgo Knnpp! Had my eyes played mo false? "Do you not undorstand?" sho said In a low, intense tone. "Ho is Elijah Lane, tho father of tho boy. An ovll, wicked man mad truly mad. lie would kill tho boy. Ho killed the mother of tho boy. I know, but It Is not a caso for proof not a caso that tho law can touch. And ho hutes tho hoy and mo!" "But why does ho want to kill him?" "You do not understand. Tho boy Inherits a groat fortuno from his mother. Mr. Knnpp and I aro left trustees by tho mothor's will. If ho had control of tho boy, tho boy would die; but It would bo from cruolty, tils caso, neglect. It would not bo murder In tho eye of tho law. But I know what would hnppon. Oh, sco tho wrotcht How ho hntoB mo!" I was stunned with tho words I had hoard. They mado much plain that had puzzled mo, yot thoy loft much moro In dnrkness; and I looked blank ly at tho llguro on tho othor tug. It was truly n strnngo sight. Tho man was bosldo hlniBolf with rago, shout ing, gostlculntlng and leaping about tho deck In transports of passion. Ho showed ovory mark of a maniac. Suddonly ho drow a rovolver and sent shot nftor shot In our direction. Wo woro far hoyond tho roadh of a pistol bullet, but Mrs. Knapp Bcronmod and dodged. "How ho hates mo!" sho cried again. Whon tho laBt shot was gono from his rovolver tho man flung tho weapon In fronzy, us though ho could hopo to strlko us thus. Thon a Btrango thing happened. whothor duo to tho effort ho hnd mado In tho throw, or to a lurch of tho tug In tho wavos wo loft bohlnd us, or to I a stumblo ovor aomo obstruction, I could not say. But wo Baw tho man suddenly pitch forward over tho low bulwarks of tho tug Into tho waters of tho bny. Mrs. Kuapp gavo a scroam and cov- crod hor oyes. "Stop tho boat!" I shouted. "Back hor!" Tho other tug had checked Kb head way at tho samo tlmo, and thero was a lino of six or soven men nlong Its sldo. "Thero ho Is!" cried one. The captain laid our tug across tho ttdnl stream that Bwopt us strongly toward Goat Island. Then ho steamed slowly toward tho other tug. "Ilo's gone," said Dicky. Tho other tug seemed anxious to keep nwny from us, as In distrust of our good Intentions. I scanned tho wntors carefully, but tho drowning man had gono down. Then, rising not 20 foot away, float ing fot a moment on tho surface of tho water, I saw plnlnly for tho first tlmo, tho very cnrlcnturo of tho faco of Doddrldgo Knnpp. Tho strong wolf Icaturcs which In tho King of tho Street wero eloquent of power, Intel lect and sagacity, woro hero marked with the record of passion, hatred and evil llfo. I mnrvcled now that I had ovor traced a likeness between them. "G'vo mo that hook!" I cried, loan ing ovor tho sldo of tho tug. "Go ahead u littlo." Ono of tho men throw a ropo. It passed too far, and drifted BWlftly bo hind. I mndo n wild roach with tho hook, but It was too short. Just ns I thought I should succeed, tho faco gavo ft con vulslvo twitch, ns If In n parting out burst of hnto and wrath, and tho body Bank out of Bight. I stood half-bowlldered, with a bursting sonso of rollof, by Mrs. Knnpp. At Inst sho took hor hands from beroe hor eyes and tho first rnys of tho sun that cleared tho tops of tho Alameda Hills touched hor calm, solemn, hopeful face. "A now day has dawned," Bho said, "Lot ub give thanks to God." CHAPTER XXX. The End of the Journey. For a few minutes wo woro silent. Wator nnd land and Bky started Into now glorios at tho touch of tho rising sun. Tho mnny-hlllcd city took on tho hues of a fnlry plcturo, nnd tho win dows gleamed with tho magic Arcs that wero llaphod back In grcotlng t6 tho god of day. It scorned scarcely possible that this was tho raging, tossing wator wo had crossed IkhI night. And tho flory sccno uf passion nnd death wo had Just witnessed was so foreign to its calm beauties that I could bollovo It had happened olsowhcro In Homo dream of long ago. I wns roused by tho voico of Mrs. Knapp, who ant at, tho head of tho cabin stairs looking ubsently ovor tho water. "I havo not dealt frankly with you," alio said. "Porhapa it is bettor that you should know, as you know bo much already. I feol that I may roly on your discretion." "I think I can keep ti secret," I re plied, concealing my curiosity. "I should not toll you if I did not have full confidence" Then Bho was Bllont for n mlnuto. "That man," sho continued at last, with a shuddor in hor voice, "that man was Mr, Knapp's brother." (TO BB CONTINUED.) Tho Way Ho Thought. Tho chaplain of n largo prlvato nsy turn asked a brother clergyman to preach to tho Inmates on a Sunday during his absence. Boforo going uway ho snld: "Preach your best, for, though Insuno on somo points, they nro very Intelligent." So ho talked to thorn of India, and of heathen moth crs who throw tholr doar littlo bablos Into tho sacrod rlvor Gauges as offer lngs to their falso gods.
