The table with the lamp had quickly
been overturned, but thc „moonlight
was still clear enough for him to zee
that Virginia stood in the doorway.
At the same instant he realized that
at last the great beast had won the
battle. Clayton lay flat upon his back,
with the crushing weight of the wolf
upon his breast, while the dripping
fangs seemed poised for the final
strike at his throat.
Dimly he heard Virginia's desperate,
urging cry—The dog --shoot the dog!"
Almost leisurely, it seemed, his mind
took up and examined this command.
Kill Bingo? Why? Bingo was his
faithful friend; was doing all in has
power to aid him; would gladly give
his life to save him. Would give, his
life. Vaguely Clayton sensed the
meaning bacic of the girl's repeated
cry. His right arm was free, and as

the last cartridge in has pistol, and the
bulldog seemed to crumple as the bul-

gasps—that red flames were licking
at him from the floor where the lamp

staggered to . the door, caught the

"Oh, the brave clog— the clean, fear-

mind for grappling with the whole
bewildering affair. Clayton asked
simply:
"Why did yo a tell me to hill the
dog?"
"What he strove to fight was not of
the flesh, but of the spirit, though, a
spirit tie evil," she responded. "It was
necessary to set Ins own brave spirit

Already the old house, dried to

many years, was a leapieg mass of

"The old mee—Casarol Where as

back toward the buraing
"Ne—nol" Virginia cried. "Don't
go in—the wolf—you do not under-

short of Clayton's arm, and in his still
dazed and confused condition he did
uot really comprehend her meaning,
but thought it was fear for his safety
that prompted her appeal,
There 'was not as yet any great
danger, the fire being only in the liv-
ing room and over the shingled roof.

and Clayton found little difficulty in
passing through the hallway and to
the bedrooms. A hasty search showed
the rooms to be empty, and he made
his way rapidly back toward the front,
glancing into the living room as he
!sprang past the door. As he did so
t an exclamation if horror burst from
his lips; for, briefly but vividly dis-
closed by a swirling of the leaping
flumes, the body of old Casaro could
be seen sprawled upon the floor with
the iron jaws of Bingo clamped upon
his throat and locked in death. The

Virginia's hand fell lightly upon his
arm, drawing him away.
"Let us go," •she said, and shuddered
as with deadly cold. "It is well that
that house and ail it contains will be

try to forget the awful days that have
passed since I brought those books
from New York. In them he found
the key to the unknown country of
absolute good and eval—and he chose
to be a fiend who might have been a
god. You have read of the were -wolf,
the thing of horror in old tales—the
embodiment of an evil soul; the thing
at times in the form of a man and at
others in the form of a wolf. You
would have mocked at that as at an
old wives' tale, yet to -night you looked
upon and fought that unspeakable
thing."
Hurried footiteps were approaching
along the path from the water, and
soon Ted Sparks came onto view. He
cast a startled glance at the burning
house, one of relief at Clayton, and
one of carefully veiled curiosity at
the girl.
"Saw the fire—didn't know where
you , were—thought ra investigate,
sir," he said briskly. "Heard some
queer stories about a place near where
we had tied up the boat; came back
as scion as possable. Boat is ready to
run if you wish to move her. Found
a clever chap who fixed the magneto
last evening, and I was back on the
boat by 9 o'clock. Fixed gas leak—
caused by my wrench falling on a

"Very well," Clayton responded
briskly, shaking off the spell which
had continued to numb his faculties.
"Get aboard and be ready to cast off.

I will be married, there -as soon as the
license office is open."
"Very well, sir!" Ted Sparks res-
ponded, and hurried had along the
path to the boat.
"Are you sure?" Varginia said soft-
ly. "You do not fear a future so in-
auspiciously begun?"
"I am sure, and I do not fear," Clay-
ton responded with a grave joyousness.
"Look!",he added. "A newday is
deeming, a new say of happiness, not
just for you or'for me, but for us,

But fold hands in a garden

So thin—or plump—and wrinkled,

The flowers don't see the difference;
They only feel a touch
Of tender underfitanding
And blossom twice as much.
Old hands can hold a baby

Old hands can write a letter
Signed; "Grandma's love to you."
Old hands return the pressure
Of strong, big hands of sons,
Of grandsons aad granddanghtera--

So old hands do God's bidding
In gardens and highways,
And at evening in contentwent
Old hands are clasped in praise.

are mighty good to eat. In Italy they

At the present time guiueapigs are
