LOVE AND THE CAPELLO.
BY W. A. FRASCR.
( Copyright , 1US , by 3. X. McClure Co , )
The lights from the Gymkhana club
were -streaming across Ilnlpln road , anJ the
drone of the band carne lazily across the
open , filtering Itself throuph the octopus
limbs of the big banyans , and over the lake
of roses the professor had filled the com
pound with. That was the professor's hobby
roses. That and snakes only the snakes
were real business , the roses were for pleas
ure. 'But ' both thrived equally well In
Rangoon , jacqulmlnot and the capello.
It was paradise , this land where the roses
grew oven as cabbages , and the hooded devils
came up out of the jungle of their own ac
cord to bo dissected. So thought ITof. Cofttl.
Hut the professor was over at the gym
now and the drowsy music , elbowing and
Jostling the straggling light ns they crowded
through this Kush-Kush tattles , mingled
with the soft patter of small talk with
which Mlnora Contl was beguiling the min
ute's as they sat there , she and the major ,
waiting the return of the profc. or.
"Of course , the major's pony , Nat Thue ,
would win the Tharawady plate , " she was
saylnjf , when aha stopped suddenly , and
steadied herself as one docs whrn a ton-
foot ditch suddenly opens Ita yawnlog maw
under the forefeet of one's mount.
The light which streamed out from the
drawing room , and offered battle to the
Kllmmcr of the Gymkhana , showed the sud
den paling of her cheek. Parian marble waa
not more white than that Bet face.
"Io not move major , " she said ; "Jo not
"YES , A COIJIIA ; " Tlin LIPS WHIS
EUKD. "DO NOT MOVE. "
move your lips even , If you value yo
life. "
llerkomcr looked straight Into the grc ,
strong eyes of the girl , a-.id they told h
more of the danger , more of the hon
than even her words had done.
"Keep perfectly still , " she contlnui
"and do not Interfere with me In any way. '
"Is It a snake ? " asked the major , d
regarding her Injunction to remain silent
"Yes , a cobra ! " the .lips whlspereJ. "
not move. "
From the direction of Ullnora'a cyca Hi
komcr knew that the hooded demon was
the high back of his chair.
Surely It was the light of Inspiration whl
came Into the eyes of this atrange girl ,
she broke ir.to a low Italian chant , weavl
her slender arms back and forth , back a
forth.
'Hcrkomor ' could feel that the cobra was f
lowliis her movements. Great beads
perspiration stood out on his forehead i
BO much at his own proximity to the hat
thing , but because of 'the grand , cool cot
ago Mlnora was showing , and the risk s
was running In drawing the attention of t
viper to herself.
"She's going to hypnotize the beast , "
thought. He knew she could do 4t , too ; t
face told him that. It seemed cowardly
tit there cad allow a woman to face t
enako , but her command to keep pcrfcc
still had fcecn ns much entreaty as co
wand , and he felt that by moving he woi
only Increase the danger to both.
With the same sinuous movement Mine
bad risen from her seat and gently BWJ
Ing her body as the soft cadences of t
chant rose aud fell , glided toward t
cobra.
"My God , keep back ! " Hcrkomer groani
icarccly moving bis llpe , "Stand back a
'Walt ' till he goes away. "
iDut the chant continued , and there wi
the Interjected two English words "k (
till ! "
Deforo 'Hcrkomcr could moyo or remc
strato further there was the flash of
white arm , a rustic of the soft folds
Mlnora's muslin dress , and ho sprang to :
feet to see the cobra being held at arr
length , firmly graeped by those slen :
tyigcrs close up to its ugly wcdge-aliai
heajj ,
'Hvalt please ! " she cried , stepping ba
as Herkomer advanced toward her w
evident Intention of taking the snaki
"father's tomtom has Just driven up to i
door ho will take the cobra It Is one
hla patients. "
She waa still holding the repulsive cr
turp at arm's length as the professor i
up1 the cemented steps , calling for the bea
to come and take bis topee.
He stopped ohort when be observed
gruesome tableau In treat of him , stop ;
short until startled Into activity by
daughter's voice asking to bo relieved of
terrible captive.
In an Instant the professor had the co
by the tall , and calling to Mlnora to let
quickly , ho swung him clear , and hold
him thus , carried him back to the box fi
which ho had escaped.
Overcome hy the reaction , the t > rave i
ank Into the chair she had risen from , ,
gave way to a flood of nervous , hyster !
tears.
Of course , there couU only he one row
tor such gallantry , It the term may be
piled to women's brave deeds. A "V.
was out of the question ; besides , the gi
Italian eyes had worked sad havoc v
Ilerkomcr before the advent of the cobra.
"Love made her brave , " mused the ma
as his 'Durum ' pony rattled him over
metalled road of the cantonment late t
night ; "but she's a well-bred one anyv
and blood will tell. God ! how slio si
ithero and never flinched , with that dcvl
her hand ! " And then he thought of
soft maidenly blushes that had swept c
the inveet face as ho talked to her of li
of the love that had been In his mind
days and weeks before the appearance
that sinister visitor.
With Jesuitical complaisance Hcrko
began to feel deuced glad that the cc
had precipitated matters by poking his t
brad Into their tete-a-tete. U had gl
him 'the opportunity to < rlsk It all on a
glo throw of the dice , and bo had won
with the other fellow , her father's g
friend , Count Kubltlno , a bad second ,
( Count Itubltlno was a dllletantl , an a
tour scientist , ostensibly devoted , like 0
era's father , > tlio profei-sor , to the dtocoi
of an antidote to the virus of the cobra

"All d n rot ! " eald Herkomer to the 1
Iron gray that was carrying him so galla
along. "Mlnora's his gan\o , and I 1

himself as he thought of the bally row 1

when they learned now the land lay.
As he jogged homo from parade next m
ing Herkomer brought hie pony up along
of Surgeon Thornycroft.
"Come over and have breakfast with

The preliminary of the talk wa an

sleep through such n Jolly row.
"When I turned the light of the candle on
the face of the sleeper , what do you sup-

caned over until lib troubled , questioning
eyes were brought close Into the surgeon's
'ace ' , and ho gripped Thornycroft'a wrist till
ils fingers seemed eating Into the fles'h. '
"Ono of the fellous who had tarried Ions
at the gym , and lost the number of hli

ing the ashes on * the end of his cheroot.
"I saw myself dead ! " continued the ma-
| or , taking no notice of hla Irlnml's uhaft ;
"dead , and a cobra clinging to my arm ! "
"Liver and eun both , " sighed Thornycrofl
jnentally.
"Of courtxj you'll call It o. dream , " added
Herkomer , "but this mornlni ; the soda bottle

that ? " ho asked triumphantly.
"Whpt do you make of It ? " queried the
surgeon , as he hunted about for' ' his helmet ,
"muko nothing of It ; only don't let It oc

\ postscript added , 'Look to your liver. ' Sc

carpet-beat the Jutiglo fever out of Ills tys-
tern. "
"No , I'm quite well , " eald Herkomar ; quite
well , anl that's the deuce of It , " ho added
plaintively. "I can't nuke It'out. . When Ji
man la well and eeea things it's it's the
devil. "
Often after that Hcilvomer had companj
of the Game sort ; alway.j the same , sitting
there la the thaiwaiting. . "What the
thunder la It waiting for ? " Herkoracc usei
to ask himself. Only he did not bother bit
friend any more about it It was no uue.
Physically lie vaa all right. He couli
put the" beet man In the" regiment cm hli
back ; aye , and hold him there , too , for tei
seconds , with both polats of the shoulder'
touching the , . ground. Neither did he g <

had climbed Into heaven , otherwise knowr
as the- haunts ot Mlnora Contl. Not bu
what the hot chlnook winds which blow uj
from haJes sometimes withered and ecorchci
hU paradUe.
H wa-i Count Hubltino who always startci
thceo hot blasts. He and Mlnora , were un
necessarily too much together , It peemexl ti
Hcrkomer , but then ho waa Jealous , and con
sequcntly no judge cti such matters.
As often as Mlnora asm ml him that sh
Hcrkomer had not been * o Cooley-hcadod ;
honorable ho called It nt the tlmr.
It lacked two weeks of Christmas time ,
nd they wore sitting on the veranda , as
they had cat that other evening , Mlnora ,
putting her coot white hand on .Herkomcr'i
wrist and turning her face a little Into the
shitdow , o that ho did not notice how net
and whlto It wan , said : " 1 have a confession
to make , Ilolandol"
"Don't make It then , little woman. Con
fessions are silly things for which we are
always sorry afterwards.
"Ilut I shall be happier If you let mo tell
you about this. I can't marry you without
tolling you first. 1 wco't "
"Look here , Mlnora , said the major , turnIng -
Ing her around so that ho could look Into
her face , "my objection to your confession
U purely selfish. You see. 1 couldn't let
you confess all on your side , without un
loading some of my sins Into your ears , and
If we exchanged experiences well , well , I
fancy the court would appear such a saint
by comparison that I should lose you al
together. Ily the way , I'll compromise , " ho
added , laughingly. "I'll just ask you ono
question , which you may answer or not , and
then we'll call the Whole thing off. "
"I will answer , " she asked quietly , "only
only "
"Well , has It anything to do with the
count what you were going to tell me ? "
"No. "
"Then I can't possibly listen. "
A'Jd so the chance went by , the evil went
on went on for two weeka longer , and It
was the cvo of the wedding day.
Love does many strange things , among
others causes a pony to gallop so fast that
n syce cannot possibly keep pace with the
winged rider. That was why illcrkomer ar
rived at Mlnora's homo sycelcss. As there
was nobody to hold his pony , ho led him
around behlod the Ibungalow to the stables ,
Mlnora's rocms were In the north wing ol
the bungalow , and as he passed the great
windows opening on to the "verandah and
reaching from celling to floor , and open save
for the shutters , voices that he could not
help but hear fell upoa his ear.
For an Instant he stood petrified. It was
the count's voice , speaking to Mlnora.
"You will wreck your happiness for a
fancy , " sneered the voice.
Herkomer quickened his pace , so that he
might hear no more , and of her answer ,
whatever It was , ho only caught the one
word "confession , " as he turned the corner
of the bungalow.
Dut all the llcrco Jealous passion that
had slumbered In his heart for weeks arose
and smothered him smothered everything
all sense of shame , ot Justice , of prudence ,
and ho rushed Into Mlnora's boudoir a pis-
slon-mad man.
What right had she , who was to become
his wife the next day , to hold secret Inter
course with the count there In her own
apartments ?
With a startled cry 'Mlnora thrust some
thing Into the drawer of a secretaire beside
which she was standing , and stood with hei
back to It as though she would guard th (
socrot.
"Perhaps I am do trop , " remarked th <
count , passtag beyond the purdah with a low
bow , and as Herkomer thought , a sneer or
his pale face.
"Why why have you rushed In here
Rolando , and frightened mo ? " asked Mln
era confusedly.
"I am sorry If I have frightened you , '
said the major shortly , anJ I will answei
your question by asking another , for perhap ;
your answer will suffice for both questions
What have you got In that drawer ? "
If Mlnora had not gone white with K llt >
fear It might have been all right yet ; but H
was the faltering which developed the tlgei
In the man. Ho took a quick step forward
and grasped her wrist cruelly harshly , as he
fairly hissed out , "You have a letter or some
thing from him there1' !
"My God ! " she moaned ; "back , do nol
touch It. If you touch that drawer I will
never marry you never. " With an ex
clamation ot rage he brushed her to one side ,
-
I-
In I SNATCHING THE DUAWEIl OPEN , HE PLUNGED HIS HAND
: r
cared nothing for the count he believed her ,
10 cad as often as ho stumbled upon them In
10d
d close communication over some iveccet matter
Is did he feel the hot winds blow , and vow
ur that ho would break away from his bondage
aad leave her to the count. But It always
ra rndcd itho earue way. It wasn't what Mlnora
rae ; sdld that put things right , It was the eyes
IK the great , sort Italian eyes looking straight
IKm anl truthfully at and through htm , bowling
over his jealous rcoolvea like tenpins and
rlnl bringing him back to to leash , like a whipped
nlal beagle.
al And still It sat there- , almost nl&htly now ,
bealda hla bed. Ho had grown accustomed
rd to seeing It. What was It waiting for ?
rdP Sometimes It annoyed him ; he felt like
IIat getting out ot bed and kicking It ; but the
at Idea was so Incongruous , this kicking of
th hltrself. tblo spiritual self , ES It were , BO
thT. he gave It up and' signed resignedly.
T. "Of course It raear.a something , " he mused ;
heat "something's going to happen , but I'm not
at going to make an ass ot myself by talking
aty. about It at the mess.1 So ho sat tight anl
od walte-d for the thing to happen as ho would
In have waited for a Ghazl rush.
hoer It woo grcnsome , but much In India Is
or grewsome , so ho had learned to take things
< orc of that order much aa ho took flghtlng with
o ? hla coffee. .
ot A far greater puzzo ! to him was Mlnora
herself. Sometimes ho found her listless ,
Indlffcvent. and then again for a. ilmo she
would be her o'.il brilliant self.
Thinking perhaps that these fits of de-
can jeotlon were duo to opprenolon from her
n- father , or undue Influence brought to bear
nou by the count , ho made bold to questlcoi her ,
sat but she shrank from him with horror and
seemed mere agitated than she bad been
lain when holding the cobra.
in- It's nerves bo thought. Life with thr
inry musty old professor and his cobra associates
nd is depressing enough to wreck the nerves ol
a bronze Buddha. I'll have to get her out
tlo ot thla.
tly So ho rushed matters a little , and It was
vo all settled for Christmas week. The pro
mt fessor gave his consent reluctantly enough ,
to Herkomer thought , and the count congratu
> th lated him -with an ironical eaeer that made
up Herkomer long to give htm a toss In the
air from.which he would alight ou the tot
n- of his curly black head. >
[ nJo When he and common sense sat face tc
face , common sense told' him that Mlnora
loved him with all the strength ot her high-
1 , " strung nature. What else Is there In U < foi
her , common sense argued , for the major'i

offer The love was there right enough , aad alei
for something eUe behind It , and thla aomethlni
forV else might have all come out one evening 1
and snatching the drawer open , plunged
band In.
There was the lightning swish of a d
body , like the cell of a whiplash In motl
an electric shooting of pain through his i
which brought an Involuntary cry of angi
from his lips , and the twisting , writhing
the hideous cobra-body as he snatched
hand from the death trap.
A piercing scream had rung out on the i
night air as he pulled the drawer open ,
powerless to stop him , Mlnora had fores
that ho was driving to his death.
U was the scream that brought the i
fcEsor to the room.
"Quick father , Rolando Is bitten , "
before the major knew what he was ab
the professor had grasped his wrist as i
vlco and pulled him Into his own roam , wl
was next. *
From that on It was a head and h
flnlph , with the professor and death as
runners. There were ligatures and lam
and the Injecting of the professor's antli
and the ceaseless marching up and dowi
the patient between two sturdy durwans ,
the watching of a woman with a great i
heart and eyes that were too dry and
for tears.
And the other , the ono that bad sat n !
after night by Herkomer's bed , came and
there just In the center of the veranda. I
komer would not let the durwans move
chair. "Don't disturb him , " he said ; "let
elt there. "
"Huzoor , It Is but an empty chair , " i
ono ot them. "No orro sits'there. sahlbV
Hut still ho told Hiem not to mqve
chair they could walk'aroutul It. "He w
have long to wait now , " he muttered-
"Surely the poison was making the e :
a little mad , " the durwan thought. ' " *
At first Htrkomor felt strangely elated ,
was like new wlne-i-he vvas' drunk on'it

And then came the poppy sleep. He be

U was the murmuring of the breakers
away on the coral reefs , and required
much energy to listen to It. Besides hose
so tired and sleepy. This ceaseless wall

Up and down , up and down , the bard :

The Improvements on the newly acqulr
property at tbo northwest corner of Hlvi
view park were begun yesterday mornli
\ largo force of men went to work under I
llrectlon of the Hoard ot Park Commtsslc
ers. and by the time the summer season
'airly at band the attractions of the rest
wilt bo materially Increased , One of t
ualn objects ot the Improvement Is to pi
vide more adequate and convenient faclllt
'or reaching the park. It contemplates
additional entrance at Tenth and Vail
streets , from which two drives will lead
: lic main boulevard In the park. Ono Ic :
.o the right and directly to the present drl
ou the high ground and the other curves
.ho left and winds around the north stdu
; ho ravine , terminating in the drives on I
OVA ground near the present lake. This re
also servo another purpose , as the first ti :
to the left after It leaves the entrance p
vldcs a dam , which will eventually hold
small lake In the extreme northwest con
of the park and very near the Intersection
Tenth and Valley streets. The oval which
enclosed by the two new drives will cent :
the * enclosure In which the deer and buff ,
will bo confined. '
In connection with the deer quest'lon I
joard Is confronted with ono of the tough
problems It has yet tackled. The fourtc
deer , which were recently purchased fn
Dr. Miller , are now conllned In a forty-ai
Held at Seymour park , and so far they he
stubbornly resisted every Inducement
leave. The board Is unable to figure (
how the herd Is to be coerced , as the di
Ecem to have Ideas of their own , which 1
big forty-acre tracr gives them unllml
space to carry out. As President Tukcy
the recognized diplomatist of the beard ,
will probably be designated as a special i
voy with extraordinary powers to corral 1
herd and have It transferred to the incloai
at nivcrvlow.
