Ilk. the thrilling twinges of an elec

Tbe hinges creaked under his
w • rgfct A current of air struck them
in tbe face. Another instant and they
stood in the corridor, listening, crush
ing back the breath in their lungs, not
daring to speak. Gently Neil drew his
campanioc back into tbe cell.

| tbe end of this corridor there is a
j door—the jailer's door. If that’s no!
'ook>*d. we can make a run for It! f’4
rather die fighting—than here!"
He slipped out again, pressing Na
thaniel back
"\Ya for me!”
Nathaniel heard him stealing slow
i ly through the blackness. A rninuta
later he returned.
"Locked!” he exclaimed.
In the opposite direction a ray of
light caught Nathaniel’s eye.
“Where does that light come from?"
he asked. \
"Through a hole about as big as
your two hands. It was made for a
stove pipe. If we were up there we
could see into the jury room "
They moved quietly down the cor
ridor until they stood under the aper
ture, which was four or five feet
above their heads. Through it they
could hear the sounds of voices but
could not distinguish the words that
were being spoken.
"The jury," explained Neil. “They're
in a devil of a hurry! I wonder why?”
Nathaniel could feel his companion
| shrug himself in the darkness.
“Lord—for my revolver!” he whis
| pered excitedly. "One shot through
1 that hole would be worth a thousand
| notes to the girls!" lie caught Ma
I rion's brother by the arm as a voice
; lot dor than the others came to them
“Strang!"
"Yes—the—king!” affirmed Neil
laying an expostulating hand on him.
"Hush!”
I w juiu line iu set—
Even in these last hours of failure
and defeat the fire of adventure
flane d up in Nathaniel's blood. He
! felt his nerves leaping again to action.
I iiis arms grew tense with new ambi
tion —almost he forgot that death had
him cornered ami was already pre
paring to strike him down. Another
thought replaced all fear of this. A
few feet beyond that log wall were
gathered the men whose bloodthirsty
deeds had written for them one of the
reddest pages in history—men who
had burned their souls out in the de
struction of human lives, whose pas
sions and loves and hatreds carried
with them life and death: men who
had bathed themsidves in blood and j
liv* d in blood until the people of the j
mainland called them "the leeches."
"The Mormon jury!” Nathaniel ’
spoke the words scarcely above his
breath.
"I'd like to take a look through that
hole. Neil," he added.
"Easy enough—if you keep quiet.
Here!” He doubled himself against
the wall. "Climb up on my shoul
ders."
No sooner had Nathaniel's face
come to a level with the hole than a
soft cry of astonishment escaped him.
Neil whispered hoarsely but he did
not reply. He was looking into a room
twice as large as the dungeon cell ;
and lighted by narrow windows whose 1
lower panes were on a level with the
ground outside. At the farther end
of the room, in full view, was a plat* 1
form raised several feet from the
main floor. On this platform were
seated ten men. immovable as statues.
I every face gazing straight ahead. Di
j rectlv in front of them, on the lower
floor, stood the Mormon king, and A
his side, partly held in the embrace '
of one of bin arms was Wiunsuine!
Strang's voice came to him in a
low. solemn monotone, its rumbling
depth drowning the words he was
speaking, and as Nathaniel saw him
lift his arm from about the girl's
shoulders aud place bis great hand
upon her head he dug his own fingers
i fiercely into the rotting logs and an
I imprecation burned in his breath. He
did not need to hear what the king
was saying. It was a pantomime in
which every gesture was understand
able. Rut even Neil, huddled against
the wall, heard the last words of the
! prophet as they thundered forth iu
I sudden passion.
u tunsonic i roche demands the
l death of her father's murderer!"
Nathaniel felt his companion's
shoulders .sinking tinder his weight
i and he leaped quickly to the floor.
"Winnsome is there!” he panted
j desperately. "I)o you want to see
her?”
Neil hesitated.
"No. Your boots gouge my shoul
der. Take them off.”
The scene had changed when Na
I thaniel took his position again. The
jury had left its platform and was
I tiling through a small door. Winn
some and the king were alone.
The girl had turned from him. She
j was deathly pale and yet she was
j wondrously beautiful, so beautiful that
j Nathaniel's breath came in quick
dread as the king approached her. He
I could see the triumph in his eyes, a
terrible eagerness in his face. He
! seized Winnsome's hand and spoke
, *o iter in a soft, low voice, so low that
j it came to Nathaniel only in a inur
| raur. Then, in a moment, he began
stroking the shimmering glory of her
1 hair, caressing the silken curls be
I tween his fingers until the blocd
seemed as if it must burst like hot
sweat from Nathaniel's face. Sudden
ly Winnsome drew hack from him. the
pallor gone from her face, her eyes
bluzidg like angry stars. She had re
treated but a step \yhen the prophet
sprang to her and caught her in his
arms, straining her to him until the
scream on her lips was choked to a
gasping cry. In answer to that cry a
>'*•11 of rtage hurled itself from Nathan
iel's throat.
"Stop, you hell-hound!" he erh d
threateningly. "Stop!"

NATIONAL RULES FOR TRACK SPORTS
— - "
Coach A. A. Stagg cf Chicago.
National rules In track sports as
well as in football are now available
for the colleges and universities of
the country. A movement to unify
the government of American intercol
legiate track and field meets was an
nounced by Coach A. A. Stags of tlie
University of Chicago, who is one of
I the authors of a new code of laws
j sanctioned bv the Intercollegiate Ath
letic association of the Cnited States.
Stagg made public' the complete
text of the rules drafted by himself.
Prof. W. A. Lambert of the University
of Virginia and F. W. Marvel of
Brown university, acting for the Na
tional association^ The rules are em
bodied in the report of the professors

tion and are now subject to the inspec
tion of the American colleges.
The code, which is the first of a na
tional character, is Intended as the
first step toward national uniformity
and in no way compulsory. The offi
cials. however, hope that it will be
adopted by the various sectional bod
ies or incorporated into their own
rules.
"Ultimate uniformity” is the wish
of the committee, according to Stagg.
The rules do not difter radically

in the ease of the high jump and pole

PLAYING BALL IN HONDURAS
American National Game Fast Ac
quiring Strong Hold on People
of Little Republic.
The national game of America is
fast acquiring a strong hold on the
people of Honduras. At the first
match game ever played in that Re
public. which was held at Tegucigalpa
on June 24. 1910. nearly all the promi
nent people, including many govern
ment officials, were present. The na
tional band was also in attendance
and helped to make the occasion a
great success. The umpire, who is
known as juez del eampo. or field
judge, had to give many difficult de
cisions. as the game was very well
played and extremely close and excit- ;
inf. The game was introduced by the
school authorities, who wished to
give the youth of the town some sort
of healthful outdoor sport, and the re
sult has far surpassed their most san
j guine expectations. Indeed, so popu
! lar has the game become that at any
I time of the day or even of the night
’ boys can be seen in all the principal
! streets and in the outskirts throwing
and batting balls to the danger of the
passer-by.
, The boys take to the game natural*
I ly and play It with the same amazing
skill as do their brothers in Cuba,
where baseball is a popular pastime,
j Doubtless in a short time a league i
1 will be formed, and the national game
! of America will be the natiocai game
of Honduras also. Baseball is a won
derful game, combining as It does tbe
best qualities of the mind with those |
of the body, and its adoption by the ;
people of Honduras can only result
in their benefit.

Commerce as a Builder
The Rage of Nature or of Men Power
less to Destroy the Great Cen
ters of Trade.
The resurrection of Messina will be
only another Illustration of how diffl
cut It is to destroy a city which sits
on a trade route or which becomes a
center or school of industry. Com
mercial cities rise or decline with
trade routes. Venice began to lose
its primacy with the discovery of the
Cape of Good Hope route to Iudia.
Nevertheless it was not ruined, and
though its population is only three
fourths of that it had when it “held
the gorgeous qast in fee," its inhab
itants to-day number 150.000. The mad
men of the French revolution decreed
that Lyons should be no more. They
leveled the city which had resisted
them to the ground, they wiped out Its
name, and in a dozen j ™ a
the center of the silk industry, the
great distributing point of the region,
was what it had been before the ter
rorists turned it into ruins. To-day
it is the third city of France. A great
San Francisco looks-out on the Golden
Gate, despite the catastrophe of 1906.
Cities are stubborn facts. It has been
said thaf if New York were over
whelmed the necessity of the United
States would compel the reconstruc
tion of a great city where the Hudson
reaches the sea.—Boston Transcript.

Brought the Tears.
An unusual incident marked a re
cent 'fire in New York. The fire
started in the cellar of a five-story ten
ement and before it was extinguished
the IS families in the building and all
the firemen were weeping copiously
frotr. inflamed eyes. In the cel’hr
many bags of onions had been stored.
The chief fireman allowed the tenant*
to remain in the building, assuring
them that the fire was confined to
the cellar. They did not stay, how
ever, when the onions had got well
fire.

Of The Rockford Morning Star.
“About seven years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum a
trial.
“I had suffered acutely from various
forms of indigestion and my stomach
had become so disordered as to repel
almost every sort of substantial food.
My general health was bad. At close
intervals I would suffer severe attacks
which confined me in bed for a week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the indigestion
abated, and in a short time ceased
entirely. I have continued the daily
use of your excellent Food Drink and
assure you most cordially that I am
indebted to you for the relief it has
brought me.
• Wishing you a continued success, I
am Yours very truly.

Of course, when a man's health
shows he can stand coffee without
trouble, let him drink it, but most
highly organized brain-workers sim
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee ber
ry affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex nervous
system, throwing it out of balance and
producing disorders in various parts
of the body. Keep up this daily pois
oning and serious disease generally
supervenes. So when man or woman
finds that coffee is a smooth but dead
ly enemy and health is of any value
at all. there is but one road—quit.
It is easy to find out if coffee be the
cause of the troubles, for if left off 10
days and Pc stum be used In its place
and the sick and diseased conditions
begin to disappear, the proof un
answerable.
Postum is not good if made by short
boiling. It must be boiled full 13 min
utes after boiling begins, when the
crisp flavor and the food elements are
brought out of the grains and the bev
erage is ready to fulfill its mission of
palatable comfort and renewing the
cells and nerve centers broken down
by coffee.
