CHAPTER XX.
One morning, about a fortnight later,
Matthew Mark Easton received a letter
which caused him to leave his breakfast
nn tasted and drive off In the first hansom
cab he could find to Tyars' club.
The waiter whose duty it was lo look
after ths few resident members Informed
the American, whom be knew well by
s'ght, that Mr. Tyars wss not downstairs
yeu
"Well," replied Easton, "I guess I'll
wait for him j In fact, I am going to have
breakfast with bim a boiled egg and two
pieces of thin toast."
II was shown Into the room occupied
by Tysrs, and proceeded to make himself
exceedingly comfortable In a large arm
Chair, with the morning newspaper.
Tyars was not long in making his ap
pearance trim, upright, strong as usual,
and conveying that unassertive vnse of
readiness for all emergencies which was
at times almost aggressive. He carried
bis hand In the smallest and most unob
trusive sling allowed by the faculty. At
his heels walked Muggins the grave, tbe
pink-eyed. Muggins was far too gentle
manly a dog to betray by sign or sound
that he considered this visitor's behavior
a trifle too familiar.
"Good morning, caplain," said Easton,
cheerily. "Well, Muggins, I trust I see
yon In the enjoyment of health."
Ths violent chuck under the chin with
which this hope was emphasized received
but scant acknowledgment from a very
Stumpy tail.
"1 have news," said Eanton, at once,
laying aside the newspsper; "news from
old Smith Pavloskl Smith."
"Where from?" inquired Tyars, with
out enthusiasm.
"From Tomsk. It is most extraordi
nary bow these fellows manage to elude
the police. Hers is old Pavloskl an es
caped Siberian exile a man they would
give thalr boots to lay their hands on
goes back to Russia, smuggles himself
across the German frontier, shows that
solemn face of his onblushtng'.ln Peters
burg, and Anally posts off to Tomsk with
a lot of contraband luggage as a mer
chant. I thought I had a fair allowance
of check, but these political fellows are
far ahead of me. Their cheek and their
calm assurance are simply unbounded."
"The worst of It," said Tyars. turning
over his letters with small Interest, "is
that tbe end is always the same. They
sll overdo It sooner or later."
"Tea," admitted the American, whose
sensitive face betrayed a passing discom
fort, "but it is no good thinking of that
now."
"Not a bit," acquiesced Tyars, cheerful
ly. "Only I shall be rather surprised
If I meet those three men np there. It
would be better luck than ons could
reasonably expect."
"If one of them gets through with his
party, all concerned should be very well
pleased with themselves," said Easton.
"Now listen to what Pavloskl says."
He nnfolded a letter, which was ap
parently a commercial communication
written on tbe ordinary mall paper of a
merchant, and bearing ths printed al
dress of an office In Cronstadt.
On ths Brat page was a terse advice,
written In a delicate, clerkly hand, of the
receipt by Hull steamer of a certain num
ber of casks containing American apples.
"This," aeld Easton, "Is from our stout
friend. He has received ths block soups
and the Winchester cartridges."
He then opened the letter further, and
on ths two Inside pages displayed a close
ly ' written communication in a peculiar
pink-tinted ink, which bad evident! been
brought to light by some process, for tbe
paper was wrinkled and blistered.
" '1 have, read the American, slowly,

Tomsk without mishap, I have bought

formation that I have many valuables
watches, rings, trinkets and, being a
young merchant, cannot rnn tho risk of
theft to save my own personal comfort
I have traveled day and night, according
to the supply of horses, but have always
succeeded hitherto In communicating with
those who are to follow me. One man on
my list was In the prison Indicated j he is
probably dead. I find great improve
ments. Our organization Is moro mechan
ical, and not so hysterical this I attrib
ute to tbe diminished number of feninlo
workers. All the articles with which your
foresight provided me nave been useful,
but tbe great motor in Siberia Is money.
With tbe funds I have at my command 1
(eel as powerful as the Czsr. I can buy
whom I like and what I like. My only
regret Is that the name of O. T. has to
be suppressed that the hundreds of In
dividual! who will benefit by his grand
generosity will never know the name of
the Englishman who has held out his
laStfD bands to those groaning under tho
yoke of a barbarous oppression. When
we are all dead, when Russia Is free,
his name will be remembered by some one.
The wstches will be very nsafnl; I have
sold two at a high price; but once be
yond Irkutsk, and I will send or give one
; to the master of each Important station
or to tbe staroiu of each village. By
this means those who follow me will know
that they are on the right track. I have
enough watches to lay a train from Ir
kutsk to the spot where I assemble my
party. I met my two conipeuions by
appointment at the base of the Ivan Vel
Iki tower In the Kremlin, and we spent
half an hour In the cathedral together
within musket shot of the Czar, and un
der the very nose of the cream of his
police. PI nee then we have not met, but
are each working forwurd by the pre'
scribed route alone. I see gi-caf cluing
here. Rusxla Is awakening she Is rub
bins her eyes. God keep yoti all three '.
Matthew Mark Easton Indicated hv a
little Jerk of the head that the letter wa
finished. Then, after looking at it curl
oualy tor a moment, be folded' it and pu
It away In bis pocket.
"Old cimitb," ha said, "waxes quite
poetic at times."
"jes." answered Tyars, pouring ou
bis coffee, "but there Is a keen business
man behind the poetry."

organizer of this extraordinary plot,
that we shall aucceed. "
As the middle of February annroached
Clnud Tyars was tranquilly engaged In
s preparations. Several ladies were
pleased to express their disapproval of
this nffectation of hard work and failed
to see why his evenings should bo de
voted to a task for which he had plenty
of time during the day.
It would be hard to determine how
far Tyars realized his position. He was
disciplinarian of the finest mold, and It
probable that he had never, un to this
time, allowed for a moment the fact that
be loved Helen Grace. This determina
tion to cultivate tbe blindness of those
who will not see was not dictated by cow
ardice; because Ciand Tyars was, like
most physically powerful men, Inclined,
to exaggerate the practice of facing dis
agreeable facts with both eyes open. Ho
ad refused to realize this most incon
venient truth, because he was oppressed
by a vagoe fear that realization meant
betrayal.
He now suspected that Miss Winter
had known all along that Helen Grace
as not the same to him as other woru-
Addcd to this was a suspicion that
she calmly and deliberately undertook
tho task or rorcing him to say as much
to Helen herself. He could think this
now without vanity.
Blatthew Mark Easton stood and
watched, as you may have watched these
low, strong rivers, and knew that his
friend was passing on to some new conn
try with a purpose which be could not
tay nor turn aside. Probably ho felt a
little doubtful of Clnud Tyars felt that
ho could not rely upon him to net like
other men. At any moment the unexpect
ed might supervene.
Doeply, however, as he felt his resnon-
iblllty, anxious as he was, he never lost
plrlt. He was ono of those men whose
courage rises to the occasion, and while
he recognized fully that without Claud
Tyars failure was Inevitable, he would
not blind himsnlf into the belief that tbe
leader was absolutely safe.
CHAPTER XXI.
At the risk of being accused of betrav-
tng the secrets of the sex, this opportunity
is taken of recording an observation made
respecting men. It is simply this: That
we all turn sooner or later to somo wom
en in our difficulties. And when a man
l-i gone Irretrievably to the dogs, bis
descent is explicable by the simple argu
ment that 'be happened to turn to the
wrong woman. Matthew Mark Easton
had hitherto got along fairly well with
out femlnmo Interference, but this In no
manner detracted from his respect for
feminine astuteness. This respect now
urged him to brush his hat very carefully
one afternoon, purchase a new flower for
his button hole, and drive to Miss Win
ters, lie fonnd that lady at home and
aloue.
'I thought," he said, as he entered the
room and placed his bat carefully on tho
piano, "that I should find you at homo
this afternoon. It is so English outside."
"The weather does not usually affect
my movemeuts," replied Miss Winter. "I
am glad you came this afternoon, because
I am not often to be found at home at
this time. Tell me, how is Mr. Tyars?"
He Is well, was the answer, "thank
you. His arm is knitting nicely."

"Everything. My mind is in a fevered

"Is there anything to be done?" she

"1 counted, be answered, "that

"I cannot do that," he said, "because

man who renpponrs In story ns Crusoe's
man Friday. The English vessel, the
Cinque Ports, arrived in 1704. having
for mate Alexander Selkirk, the orig
inal of Robinson Crusoe. No need to
go Into the fnmlllnr story of his adven
tures, nor to question how closely tho
novelist adheres to fart In what is un
doubtedly the most fnscinntlng ftory of
adventure ever written.
The narrow rldgo where Selkirk
watched Is now railed The Saddle, be
cause at either end of it a big rocky
hummock rises like a pommel. Roys and
girls of two or four generations ago
will recall very readily those lines of
Cowper on the life of Alexander Sel
kirk, beginning na follows:
I am monarch of all I survey.
My right there Is none to dispute;
From tho center all round to the ea,
I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
O solitude! where are the charms
That sages hare seen in thy face?
Rettcr dwell in the midst of alarms,
Than reign in this horrible place.
On one of these rocky hummocks
there had been placed it Inrse tablet
with Inscriptions commemorating Alex
ander Selkirk's long and lonely stay. It
was placed there in 1R08 by the ofllcers
of the Rrltlsh ship Topnzo and reads
as follows :

Selden'a Lonjr Wait for Wealth.
Twenty-five years ao, writes Leroy
6xtt in Technical World Magazine, a
young man with a scheme for a car
riage to be run by .1 gasollre motor
called upon a large manufacturer of w
hides and farm implements. Tb young
man had spent years upon his patent
Its success meant fortune to him, and
also triumph over the men who had
laughed at hlin. So he us"d his best
eloquence to Induce the manufacturer
to put bis automobile on the market.
But the manufacturer shook hts head.
You've been wasting your time on that
scheme," he said. "And If I went into
It, I'd be wasting my money. No, sir
even If It worked, nohody'd ever care
to rldo In your 'explosion buggy.'"
The young man was George B. Sel-
den, and what this manufacturer said
was also said by dozens of others. To
day there are in use Iu the United
States about 70.000 "explosion bug
gies;" and about 70 per cent of all gaso
line automobiles mado In this country
or Imported into It nre licensed under
the Selden patent the royalties paid
during the last three years amounting
to $S14,183.

Proper food -nourishes every part of
tbe body, because Nature rejects the
different materials from tho food we
eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, mus
cle, teeth etc
All we need is to eat the right kind
of food 6lowIy, chewing it well our
digestive organs take It up Into tho
blood and the blood carries It all
through the body, to every little nook
and comer.
If some one would ask you, "Is
Grape-Nuts good tor looso teeth?",
you'd probably say, "No, I don't seo
how It could be." But a woman In
