CHAPTER VIII. T^e Si* Cast t Chambers. In an instant Nathau.c! was upon s knees beside the prostrate form uf the old councilor. Ch-diah'a eyes were open but ua- ' :r g t.s face was blanched to the nitentss o; paper; an almost icper- 1 pt-ble movement of his chest ; * :• HHd that he still breathed.

For a few mom-nts he stood in silent. . a.. ' n his n.rves tingling r through the open door that the red glare of fire had faded to a burnt out glow in the sky. In the deep si lence the sullen beating of the bell seemed nearer, and he could hear the excited barking of dogs in St. pastes. Slowly the hope that Obadiah might speak to him died away and he re turned to the door. It still lacked an hour of midnight, when Marion had promised to come to him. He was wildly impatient and to his impatience was added the fear that had filled him as he hovered over Obadiah. a name less. Intangible fear—something uhich he could not have analyzed and which clutched at his heart and urged him to follow the path that led to Marion's. For a time he resisted the impulse. What if she should come by another path while he was gone? He waited nervously in the edge of the forest, watching, and listening for footsteps. In his old fearless way he promptly made up Lis mind. He would go bold ly to the cabin and tell that Neil was waiting. He felt sure that the alarm sounding from SL James had drawn away the guards and that there would be nothing to interfere with his pian if she had already left the cabin he would return quickly to Obaaiahs. In his eagerness he began to run. Once a sound stopped him—the distant beat ing of galloping hoofs. He heard the shout of a man. a reply farther away, the quick, excited yelping cf a dog His blood dance d as he thought of the gathering of the Mormon fighters, the men and boys racing down the black trails from the inland forests, the excitement in Sh James. As he ran >c again he thought of Arbor Croche mustering the panting, venge ful defenders; of Strang, his great voice booming encouragement and promise, above the brazen thunder of me bell; he saw in fancy the fright • aed huddling groups cf women and children and beyond and above all the coming of the "vengeance of God"—a hundred beats, a thousand men—and there went cut from his soul if not from his lips a great cry of joy. At the edge of the lorest he stepped for a moment. Over beyond the clearing a light burned dimly through the li iscs. The sweet odor of the flowers came to him gently, persuasively, and nerved him into the open. He passed across the open space swiftly and plunged into a tangle of bushes close to the lighted window. He heard a man s voice within, and -1 “I Want to Speak with Marion.' » th a rtraac- sensation of impending p- r. Ob-i: :.:.'s madness the mys '■■ r:t f Tembiiug of the earth beneath feet, the volcano of fire, the clang irjr of th‘- bell and the councilor's *. ite rejoicing had all come so sad -•hiy That L» was dazed. What great —:: ty, v. hat fearful vengeance, was to tome upon the Mormon king u->:n? Was it possible that the fish ■ m.- n and sellers of the mainland had risen, as Obadiah had sail, and »* re already at hand to de-troy Strang an. his peop.e? The thought spurred him to the door. The blood ruBhed like fire through his veins. What :ld it r. an to Marion—to Neil? in h:s eiclt* n.ent he started down ■ e path that led to tlie lilac hidden home beyond the forest. Then he *• o r..t aga u of Obadiah and his last : ok:n* utterance of Marion's name. He ha. tried tr. rpeak of her, ev-. n with that dea'h-like rattling of the .: his throat: and the memory th* old councilor's frantic struggle j for wrds broeght Nathaniel quickly ofc to the cabin. He bent over Oba -• i shrivel* d form and spoke the - 'is nan.- agj.in and again in his • ars There tame no response, no V-iver of life to show that the old man was conscious of his presence, ‘.s he worked over him, balking his :*»*•* and chest in cool water, the feei ng became strong in him that he was • a: tur.g death in this gloomy room for Man jti's sake. It was like the whis pering of an invisible spirit in his ears—something more than presenti r. -nt. sime'n ng that made his own near: grow faint when death seemed winning in the struggle. His watch fulness was acute, intense, desperate. When after a time, he straightened himself again, rewarded by Uhadiah s more regular breathing, the sweat st d in beads upon his face. He knew that he had triumphed. Obadiah would live, and Marion— He placed his mouth close to the councilor's ear. “Tell me about Marion," he said again. “Marion—Marion—Marion—” He waited, stilling his own breath to catch the sound of a whisper. None came. As he bent over him he saw then a woman's. Was It Marion" ' 'autiously Nathaniel crept close to the log wall of the cabin. He reached out, and hesitated. Should he look —as he had done at the king’s win dow? The man s voice came to him again, harsh and angry, and this time it was not a woman's words that he heard but a woman's sobbing cry. He parted the bushes and a glare of light fell on his face. The lamp was on c table and beside the table there sat a woman, her white head turned from him, her face buried in her hands. She was an old woman and he knew that It was Marion's mother. He could not see the man. Where was Marion? He wormed himself back out of the bushes and walked quickly around the house. There was no other light, no other sign of life except in that one room. With sudden resolutio he stepped to the door and knocked loudly. For a full half minute there was silence, and he knocked'"again. He heard the approach of a shuffling step, the thump, thump, thump of a cane, and the door swung back. It was the man who opened it. a tall giant of an old man, doubled as if with rheumatism, and close behind him was the fright ened face of the woman. An involun tary shudder passed through Na thaniel as he looked at them. They w ere old—so old that the man's shriv eled hands were like those of a skel eton; his giant frame seemed about to totter into ruin, his eyes were sunken until his face gave the horror of a death mask. Was It possible that these people were the father and mother of Marion—and of Neil? As he stepped to the threshold they tim idly drew back from him. In a sin gle glance Nathaniel swept the room and what he saw thrilled him, for everywhere were signs of Marion; in the pictures on the walls, the snowry curtains, the cushions in the window seat—and the huge vase of lilacs on the mantle. ‘T am a messenger of the king." he said advancing and closing the door behind him. "I want to speak with Marion." (TO BE CONTINUEDJ ijvntp WOllliP OF ' Wrestlers from cities other than Chicago are ambitious to 'wrestle Gotch and Mahmout—they are after car fare.

Havana's Freak Player. The Havana team boasts of a third baseman w ho is somewhat of a freak in several ways. In the first place the third sucker is a left-handed thrower, something rare among infielders. He is of Spanish and Chinese parentage, yet boasts of the good old Irish tame of Moran. It would make some sure enough son of Erin threaten to do things if he could see the gentleman who bqasts of so celebrated an Irish name. This fellow Moran, by the way. | is quite a ball player. He plays the third sack brilliantly, is an adept hunter as well as a hard hitter, and. I like all the other natives, is fast on ■ his feet. MILLER HUGGINS IS BEST WAITER Miller Huggins cf St. Louis Csrdinais. Miller Huggins of St. Louis, either ' on account of his small stature or his excellent judgment of pitched balls or ; a combination of both, was the hara est man in the National league to i pitch to last season, according to the official record of strike-outs and passes just issued from President i Lynch's office. Huggins played 151 games and walked to first base 116 times. Johnny Evers of the Cubs comes second in number of strolls with 108 in 125 games, which makes his aver age per game even better than Hug- j gins. Bridwell of New York leads his club with 73 walks in 141 games, while the other club leaders in this department are Bescher. Cincinnati, 81 in 150 semes: Magee. Philadelphia. 04 in 154 games: Byrne. Pittsburg. 66 j in 148 games: Tony Smith. Brooklyn, i 60 in 106 games; Sweeney. Boston, 61 j in 147 games. Strange as it nay seen, the lowly Cardinals were the best team in the league for waiting them out, getting 655 passes among them. The Giants were next in keenness of eye and patience, 562 passes falling to their share. The champion Cabs were third with 542. Hummel of Brooklyn led the league in striking out, having the fatal three called on him SI times in 153 games. He was not the worst batter in the league at that. Burt Wheat, also of ' Brooklyn, was a close second to Hum- j mel for the questionable honor of 1 whiffing early and often. He fanned SO times in 156 games. The strikeout habit was very prevalent among the Brooklyn cluh anyhow, just 706 being called on its members. This was 117 more than the Cardinals, who were next in line were charged with.

WORRY OVER THEIR COACHES Question af Professionals Coming Up at Yaie and Harvard—Billy Lush at Yale. Tale and Harvard have delayed the announcement of their baseball coach ing plans for next season, not because of difhculties in selecting their coaches, but because they have been engaged in thrashing out the problem of professional coaching. Agitation arose over the question after the Tale-Harvard series last season, and the two universities have been in cor respondence relative to the question of returning to a system of graduate coaching in baseball, as now obtains in football. Extreme secrecy has prevailed at Tale, but it is believed that an agree ment has been reached, and that the a; pointment of professional coaches ■Bill be made as usual. The delay has : be“n occasioned because President Hadley of Tale has been in Europe, and no settlement could be reached until his return. j It is understood that Harvard is ■willing to return to graduate coaching j in baseball, but that Tale had quite enough of the experiment two years ago. It is expected that Billy Lush will ! be elected coach at Tale, although Capt. Corey of the nine says that nothing is settled. Lush, who was ill with typhoid fever during the fall, is now at work coaching the basketball team. He bad charge of the nine last spring which defeated Harvard, but lost the series to Princeton. Harvard to Play Tigers. The Harvard athletic committee, it) an official announcement the other night, stated that the Crimson foot ball team -Bril! play Princeton at Princeton on Saturday, November 4, two weeks before the Tigers' game with Yale. It was further announced that ar rangements have been made for a game with Dartmouth at Cambridge November 18 and that the annual game with Yale would be played on the Stadium on the 25th. While the full schedule was not given out, it was explained that since the Prince ton the game would be played at Princeton the regular game with West Point would be dropped for this year because of the team's inability to play more than one game away from home. It is expected also that : a game with Cornell will be ar ranged for November 11, although a definite conclusion with the Ithacans ! has not been reached. Kansas Athletes Immodest? The authorities at the University of Kansas are on the warpath. They have started a crusade against im modesty, and. as a result, the basket ball players in the future must cover up their bare legs when appearing in public. They claim that the short pantaloons will not be tolerated, and a rupture between the students and the regents is threatened. A Misfit The leap from monarchy to repub lic Is proving to be an out of the frying pan into the fire situation for Portugal. Even the optimists of the staling eighteenth century "rights of man" and "human equality” maxims ■will learn by and by that Republican or Democratic self-government is primarily a capacity rather than a right—the capacity must precede the right. As might have been expected from the prevailing illiteragp and utter lack of elementary political training of the masses Portuguese incapacity is already translating itself into po litical chaos and economic distress under the revolutionary government. The working classes expected an im mediate millennium of prosperity, employment and wages, “bread and games" galore. Instead of which po litical unrest and uncertainty, the re course to p&per money by a govern meat at its writ's end. and the emigra tion of capital and enterprise and con sequent industrial stagnation, through dread of radical and confiscatory leg islation.

The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me, but it v.a3 not for a year or more that my nails and fingers were well The infiamma ticm and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes it was so painful that I had to use a poultice to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the nest period of inflammation, possibly not more than a week or two afterwards. These frequent inflammations resulted in the loss of the nail. 1 had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time. “Perhaps ten years later I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again I tried various remedies, among them a prescription from a doctor of a friend of mine, who had suffered from a like trouble. This seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it was net & permanent cure; next tried a prescription from my own doctor, but this was so irritating to tbe sensitive, diseased skin that I could not use it. I began to use Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I bad used the Cuticura Ointment previously on my children's scalps with good effect. 1 did not use the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the Cuticura Ointment into the base of the nail every night thoroughly, and as often beside as I could. I had net used it but a few weeks before my nails were better, and in a short time they were apparently well.

Willie had been to see his old nurse, and she had shown him her treasures, including some very strik ingly colored scripture texts which graced her walls.
