was ready to leap from his lips.
There in the dim glow of the great
lamp stood Strang, the Mormon king.
CHAPTER IX.
The Hand of Fate.
Like a panther Nathaniel crouched
and watched the man on the steps. |
His muscles Jerked, his hands were
cbnched; each instant he seemed
at out to spring. But he held himself
back until Strang had passed through
the door. Then he slipped along the
l**g wall of the castle, hugging the
shadows, fearing that the king might
reappear and see him in time to close
the door. What an opportunity fate
had made for him! His fingers itched
to get at Strang's thick bulllike
throat. He felt no fear, no hesitation
about the outcome of the struggle
with this giant prophet of God. He
instant he had fired and the hugs
form of Arbor Croche toppled head
long into the room. A roar like that
of a beast came from behind him and
before he could turn again Strang was
upon him. In that moment he felt
that all was lost. Under the weight
of the Mormon king he was crushed
to the floor; his pistol slipped from
his grasp; two great hands choked
a despairing cry from his throat. He
saw the prophet's face over him, dis
torted with passion, his huge neck
bulging, his eyes flaming like angry
garnets. He struggled to free his
pinoned arms, to wrench off the death
grip at his throat, but his efforts were
like those of a child against a giant.
In a last terrible attempt he drew up
his knees inch by inch under the
weight of his enemy; it was his only
chance—his only hope. Even as he
felt the fingers about his throat sink
ing like hot iron into his flesh and
the breath slipping from his body he
remembered this murderous knee
punch of the rough fighters of the
inland seas and with all the life that
remained in him he sent it crushing
into the abdomen of the Mormon king.
It was a moment before he knew that
it had been successful, before the film
cleared from his eyes and he saw
Strang groveling at his feet; another
moment and he hurled himself on the
prophet. His fist shot out like a ham
mer against Strang's jaw. Again and
again he struck until the great shaggy
head fell back limp. Then his fingers
twined themselves like the links of a
chain about the purplish throat and
he choked until Strang's eyes opened
wide and lifeless and his convulsions
ceased. He would have held on until
there was no doubt of the end, had
not the king's wife—the woman whose
misery he had shared that night—
suddenly flung herself with a piercing
cry, between him and the blackened
His Fingers Twined About the Purplish Throat.
did not plan to shoot, for a shot would |
destroy the secret of Marion’s fate.
He would choke the truth from '
Strang; rob him of life slowly, gasp,
by gasp, until in the horror of death
the king would reveal her hiding place
—would tell what he had done with
her.
Then he would kill him!
There was the strength of tem
pered steel In his arms; his body,
slender as an athlete's, quivered to
hurl Itself Into action. Up the steps
he crept so cautiously that he made
no sound. In the intensity of his
purpc .~e Nathaniel looked only ahead
of him—to the door. He did not see
that another figure was stealing
thn :gti the gloom behind him as cau- i
tlously. as quietly as himself. He ;
passed through the door and stood
erect. Strang had not seen him. He j
had not heard him. He was standing
with his huge hack toward him, facing
the hall that led to the sixth cham- j
her—and the woman. Nathaniel drew 1
1.1s pistol. He would not shoot, but
Strang might be made to tell the
truth with death leveling itself at his
heart. He groped behind him, found
the door, and slammed It shut. There
would be no retreat for the king!
And the man who turned toward him
at the slamming of that door, turned
slowly, coolly, and gazed into the
black muzzle of his pistol looked, in
deed. every inch of him a king. The
muscles of his face betrayed no sur
prise. no fear. His splendid nerve
wras unshaken, his eyes unfaltering as
they rose above the pistol to the face
behind it. For fifteen seconds there
was a strange terrible silence as the
eyes of the two men met In that
quarter of a minute Nathaniel knew
* that he had not guessed rightly.
Stracg was not afraid. He would not
; tell him where Marion was. The in
superable courage of this man mad
dened Captain Plum and unconscious
ly his finger fell upon the trigger of
ids pistol. He almost shrieked the
words that he meant to speak calmly:
“Where is Marion?”
“She is safe. Captain Plum. She is
i where the friends who are invading
I us from the mainland will have no
! chance of finding her.”
Strang spoke as quietly as though
in his own office beside the temple.
Suddenly he raised his voice.
"She is safe. Captain Plum—safe!”
His eyes wavered, and traveled be
yond. As accurately as a striking ser
pent Nathaniel measured that glance.
It had gone to the door. He heard a
movement, felt m draft of air. and in
an Instant be whirled about with bin
pistol pointed to the door. In another
face, clutching at his hands with all
her fragile strength.
"My God, you are killing him—kill
ing him!" she moaned.
Her eyes blazed as she tore at hia
fingers. \
“You are killing him—killing him!"
she shrieked. “He has not destroyed
Marion! You said you would take her
and leave him—for me—” She struck
her head against his breast, tearing
the flesh of his wrists with her nails.
Nathaniel loosened his grip and
staggered to his feet.
"For you!" he panted. "If you had
only come—a little sooner—” He
stumbled to his pistol and picked it up.
"I am afraid he is—dead!”
He did not look back.
Arbor Croche barred the door. He
had not moved since he had fallen.
His head was twisted so that hie face
was turned to the glow of the lamp
and Nathaniel shuddered as he saw
where his shot had struck. He had
apparently died with that last cry on
his lips.
There was no longer a fear of the
Mormons in Nathaniel. He believed
the king and Arbor Croche dead, and
that in the gloom and excitement of
the night he could go among the peo
ple of St. James undiscovered. A
great load was lifted from his soul,
for if he had not been in time to save
Marion he had at least delivered her
after a short bondage. He had now
only to save Marion and she would go
with him. for she loved him—and
Strang was no more.
He hurried through the grove
toward the temple. Even before he
had come near to it he could see that
a great crowd had congregated there.
The street which he passed was de
serted. No lights shone in the houses.
Even the dogs were gone. For the
first time he understood what it
meant. The whole town had fled to
that huge log stronghold for protec
tion. Buildings and trees shut out hia
view seaward but he could see the
flare of great fires mounting into the
sky and he knew that those who were
not at the temple were guarding the
shore.

Preparation for Immortality.
There is only one way to get ready
for immortality, and that is to love
this life, and live it as bravely and
cheerfully and faithfully as we can.—

For Velveteen
THE first design sketched is a
simple coat and skirt in nut-brown
velveteen, very useful and very
smart; the skirt is quite plain and a
good walking length; the coat has a
deep collar cut off square in front;
the fastening is formed by tabs in
which buttonholes are worked, and
bone buttons. Velveteen toque trimmed
with two ostrich tips. Materials re
quired: 12 yards 24 inches wide. 5
yards silk for lining coat. 4 yards sat
een for skirt.
In the second picture we show a
plain long coat in black. Our model is
lined throughout with pale blue cash
mere satin. This style is also suit
able to be copied in seal plush, which
is now so much used for long coats.
Materials required: SI* yards velve- !
teen 72 inches wide. 5 yards lining 44
inches wide.
The third costume shown is in lau
rel leaf green. The skirt has a panel
front and back, and at sides is
trimmed with a band of burnished
gold and green trimming. The coat
has a vest of the same trimming; a
band of it is taken from each side the
front and raised high in the centre '
back. Hat of folded satin trimmed
with long grey wings. Materials re
quired. 121- yards 24 inches wide. 4
yards trimming. 5V* yards satin for
lining coat. 4 yards sateen for skirt
lining, 4 buttons.
WHEN MAKING A VALANCE
Difficulties Not at All Insurmount
able if Tfsey Are Properly
Approached.
The main difficulty in making a va
lance is to keep it in place without
putting tacks into the furniture or
having it on narrow strips that pull
out from under the mattress. One
woman has hit upon a plan of having
heavy unbleached sheeting cut just
the size of the bed. or a little within
the line of the sides. The sheeting is
shrunk before being used. The va
lance is sewed to it on each side and
across the end.
The cover is then spread over the
springs and under the mattress,
which holds it firmly in place. If the
valance is of thin material, that needs
frequent washing, it is a good idea to
put it into a narrow band, provided
with buttonholes at intervals close
enough to prevent sagging. Buttons
are sewed to the sheeting in places to
correspond.
ADORNMENT FOR HAIR.
/i
Fillet for the hair made of gold
cloth sewn with turquoise. The aig
rette is white.
To Clean Felt Hats.
First, all the trimming is removed
and the felt given a thorough brush
ing. From a hardware dealer pur
chase, for a few cents, a sheet of the
finest sandpaper made. Cut into
piece around a convenient-sized block
of wood, begin sandpapering the hat,
being careful always to rub in the
direction of the nap. Continue this
process, using a new piece of sand
paper when necessary, until the felt
begins to take on a new and clean
appearance. When the felt becomes
clean the nap is slightly dampened
and the felt pressed with a moder
ately hot iron.
Frills of the Day.
Rich little black dresses are very
often relieved 'by gay Bulgarian or
oriental embroidery. A collar or little
guimpe of lace and again handsome
silk braid is the trimming and little
gold buttons relieve the black.
The all-black frock for ball and din
ner wear is very much in evidence,
but it Is usually brightened with jet
or rich embroideries in colors.
Quaint little silk hoods to cover the
hair and keep the dust out are both
novel and becoming.
Italian silk blankets to add to th^
covers in the train stateroom come in
many pretty colors and fold up very
small.

Gardens for Table Decorations.
Miniature gardens are among the
novelties in table decorations. Tiny
flower beds are filled with geraniums,
hyacinths, heather, roses, carnations,
ferns and other dainties of the horti
culturists’ are. Dwarf trees from
Japan fill in the gaps. Often poin
settia is used for the centerpiece.
Fruits, especially golden tangerines
and richly-tinted apricots.
DESIGNED FOR THE NURSERY
Pretty Things That Will Properly Set
Forth the Apartments of the
Little Folks.
So many charming things are made
for the nursery nowadays that it Is
a delight for young mothers to set out
; to furnish the apartment devoted to
! the little folks.
Sets of basin and pitcher in neat
, enameled stands are decorated with
Kate Greenaway figures.
Bassinets like large market baskets
having stout handles and lined with
silk and lace, are very convenient with
silk and lace, and very convenient
when moving the wee baby from room
to room.
A stand of enameled wicker has
four trays for holding baby's clothes,
i It is very compact when shut, but
when required these may all be open
ed at the same time by pushing out
different ways.
Small clothes-trees of white painted
wood are copies in miniature of what
the grown-ups use.
A basket, with compartments to
hold six small bowls, is handy when
dressing the infant. The porcelain
bowls are marked safety pins, sponge,
soap, nipples, etc.
Some Uses for Matting.
Straw matting may be put to many
uses besides the conventional one of
covering floors.
Table covers may be made of the
fine, closely woven Japanese matting,
hemmed at each end.
As a finish to the lower part of a
wall matting which is not too heavy
serves quite as well as burlap and is
a change from the more usual cover
ing.
Settee cushions may be made, or at
least covered, with fine, pliable kind
of matting, to match the strip on the
porch floor.
Window shades and awning to keep
the sun off, which are tied back or
rolled up when not in use, are also
practical made of matting.
They are hemmed top and bottom
and hung upon rings at the top. which
in turn are hung on little brass hooks
screwed into the window frame or
porch beam.
The Newest Tea '“osies.
Quite the newest tea cosies are
fascinating creations heavily em
broidered in an open pattern to show
off a silk lining of a gay color. That
the cosey may fit over any sized tea
pot, even the most capacious, it has
end pieces let in, and these are of
plain linen, unadorned like the rest,
so that here the colored lining does
not show through. The seams of the
cosey are covered by a handsome
white cord, artistically knotted here
and there to give a pretty effect.
Study Figure In Mirror.
Every woman who wishes to be
really well dressed should study her
silhouette before a full length mir
ror before going out.
Many so-called well-dressed women
content themselves with the views
they get of their frocks in a glass
which shows only half of their figure
or in the plate glass windows of stores
as they promenade.
With this scant impression and the
knowledge that their gowns are firm
ly made and fastened in the back, they
believe themselves -perfectly gowned.
The truth Is they don't know whether
they are or not, not having seen their
pictures in the entirety.
___
Empire Waist Line.
The straight, narrow lines not over
accentuated and the shortened waist
line are very pretty in the one-piece
trotting frocks of linen, silk, eUx,
which are being made for southern
wear, though the empire waist line
must always be handled very pare
fully in connection with a street
frock if it is not to give the frock an
air suitable to the boudoir rather
than the street.
THIS BIRD ALMOST EXTINCT
The Hula la Ona of the Rarest Spe
cie* That Exist Anywhere In
the World.
Aukland, N. Z.—Here Is a picture o!
• male and female hula—one of the
rarest species of birds that exist any
where in the world. The hula are also
the most domestic.
Aa you see in the picture, the male
hula Is pecking off the bark so that
his wife may find her food. The male
has a strong, sharp beak; the female
a slender, long. Incurved beak. So
the male takes upon himself the bur
den of the heavy work In finding food
i ' / . i
The Hulas.
After he has opened the way to i
storehouse, his wife secure# the food
and then shows her affection for her
mate by feeding him first. According
to the Maoris, when one of these
>lrds die, the companion soon yields
0 starvation, for he la inconsolable
;nd will not eat.
There are very few hulas in the
rorld today. What few that are left
ire in captivity. Only scattering
lumbers may T5e found in New Zea
and, their habitat. The bird is a
nember of the starling family and is
•onfined to the forests of certain
countaln ranges. In size it is about
a large as an American thrush,
loth sexes are glossy green-black,
ixceptlng a white terminal band upon
he tail and large rounded wattles at
he gape, which are orange red. The
ilrds nest In hollow trees.
MACHINE TESTS HEART BEATS
<lew Device Takes Photograph of
Heart's Action and Aids In Diag
nosis of Disease.
Baltimore. '*1.—An apparatus Is
jow in use i ne medical world for
neasurlng disturbances in the actlv
ty of the heart. It consists of a mag
let to which is attached a thin wire
hrough which an electric current Is
set In motion. The wire In turn is j
ittacbed to a mirror which reflects an
jsclllatlng beam of light by the aid ol
1 bow lamp on to sensitized photo
p-aphic paper. A line is thus traced
>n the paper in the same measure as
:he current went out from the heart
is shown In the accompanying illus
tration.
It is known that an Imaginary line
through the body has on one side all
the currents generated by one side ol
the heart, and on the other side the
rurrents generated by the opposite
side, so that by connecting an elec
trode to each side of the body, obliter
ating all other currents of the body by
placing them as nearly as possible at
reet. the physician has the current ol
the heart where he can measure and
examine it.
The patient Is put at rest, one eleo
trode is fastened to his arm. and one

Chart Showing Heart-Beats.
to the opposite leg and the current
generated by the movement of the
heart of the patient Is conducted tc
a quartz wire suspended in a magnetic
field, which Is deflected according to
the amount of current flowing through
It.
An arc light is thrown through a
condensing microscope upon the mov
ing wire, the shadow from which li
thrown through another microscope
which magnifies It 600 times and
throws the shadow through a slit at
right angles to the position of the
wire upon a screen. Back of the
screen is a camera with a rotating
film, which takes a record picture of
the movement on the point made by
the intersection of the slit with the
shadow of the wire.
This picture Is cotppsc®^ with pic
tures of perfectly normal heart cur
rents. and by this method the physi
cians are often able to determine the
nature of the patient’s affliction.
Size of the Oceans.
New York.—An officer of a llnei
once remarked that most men seemed
to be as ignorafit about the size of the
sea as they are of the distance be
tween the heavenly planets. Here are
a few facts; The Pacific covers 68,
000,000 miles; the Atlantic 30.000,000,
and th*3 Indian ocean, Arctic and
Antarctic 42,000,000. To stow away
the contents of the Pacific It would
be necessary to fill a tank one mile
long, one mile wide and one mile deep
every day for 440 years. Put In fig
ures. the Pacific holds in weight 948,
000,000,000.000,000,000 tons. The At
lantic averages a depth of not quite
three miles. Its waters weigh 325,000,
000,000,000,000,000 tons, and a tank to
contain It would have each of its
sides 430 miles long. The figures of
the other oceans are in the same start
ling proportions. It would take all
the sea water In the world 2,000,000
fears to flow over Niagara.
