Ho and Mina were alone in that awful lace: and yet not alone; for Death lune hovering between Ahem, waiting to strike, It was evident that Koshki had thought Clive already dead, or he would not have left him ungagged; but there was no hope 1n this; for Olive knew that hie vo1ee, weakened by exhaustion and loss of blood, could not cant' many yards. And even if be could have made hitnotlf honed, there was little chance of aeeistance coming to him in that place of i11 repute. ('ries for help, even women's, eere0an0, were too frequent in this locality to attract atten- tion, much lees bring aid. Por himself -ah. well, ho could have met death, if not with indifference, with calm- ness and coopaacre. Set Minn, Mina! The sweat broke out on his forehead. and he writhed in his bonds until the rope:; cut into hie flesh. He was not able even to writhe long; for his wounds were bleeding, and he was almost too weak to stir. He lay still, trying to eumm00 all his foreitnde-not for himself, but. for Mina. He could almost hope that be was already dead; for if so She would be spared the unspeakable agony of watch - Inc and waiting for the death that wac slowly approaching. Ho began to grow delirious, and ho fought against the mist that was creep- ing over him; but he thought that he had fought in rain. that he was really dslirf- ouu, when he heard something that sound- ed alto a sigh.

Almost 'by an inspiration Clive thought of Sara, and, imitating her voice, replied Yes, quick!" The door was opened, and Clive sprang in, thrust it to with hie foot, and seized Kosltki. There woe a dim light burning somewhere in the shattered build• ing; and Olive caught the gleam of a re- volver in Koehlcre hand. He struck him a blow on the arm, aced then gripped him by the throat; but he was not quick enough to prevent Eriehki calling out. There cadre a responeo from several voices and the .hurrying of foots.tepe; and Clive knew that be would have to fight against odds. Hie grip on the scoundrel's t hroat tightened. Kcsliki, nearly choking, staggered; with a twist of the leg Clive hurled' hire to the ground. Keelde s head mean have fallen on atones; for he geap- ed. and became unconscious.

They had ggassed Clive before they caught eight of ICoehki lying by the door; and as they stopped, Clive sprang on to the man with the bar, struck him between the eyes, and tore the bar from hie hand. Startled by his sudden onslaught, both men drew back and Clive, eeizing the mo- ment of hesitation, felled ono of the men with his awn weapon.

She has passed into the English language: "as slender as the Duch- ess of Marlborough's neck" serves for a degree of comparison in one order of creation no less than "as bulky as `G.K.C,' " serves in an- other, so says a writer on the Lon- don Sketch. But it is not, with her, a case of neck or nothing; her Grace has a rare faculty for for- getting her own graces. For months her whole attention has been given to the figures, not of fashion -books or Tango, but of sweated labor. She has come to grips with a sub- ject that is too painful for most The Duchess of Marlborough. people to think about even at a safe distance. Iter statement of the facts is concise, convincing, terri- ble. Her friends would far rather she thought and talked of the things of her own world. "Let them fight it out themselves; we can never understancl thorn," is the sort of advice she is always getting. "But you don't let them fight it out themselves,'' she answers; "every She btie'ked him with hor foot, and time you go shopping injudiciously your money is given to the bad cause'- of the employers, Every time you are careless and buy the products of sweating, you snhsidize the evil system." She rattles out her statistics as easily, and charmingly, as another duchess rattles out Epsom prices. Though with less American accent than an average Englishwoman ac- quires in a fortnight in California, she has, nevertheless, an Ameri- can's sense of headlines. She puts her ease with extraordinary brevity and effect. If you want to know the facts about the east end do not go to the east end, but go to Sunder- land House, Mayfair, when the duchess is telling, in her young, steadfast, and convincing voice, the things she has learned during years of constant study. "There aro thou- sands of women and girls who are suffering actual hunger, want, and destitution though they are work- ing every available hour all the year round" --that is the gravamen of her charge against the existing order, The Duchess of Marlborough's ,philanthropy has not been spasmo- dic, During several years she has spent more time at East Ham than at Blenheim, though in no sense has she left the world in which she finds sho and her campaign carry most weight. She does nob relinquish her houses, nor her parties, nor her pearls. Her fascination does not wane nor her youth turn to grey- ness because ache has things to do and things to say, and a set of very cruel axil depressing observations always on her mind and in. .her heart.

Her study has been the woman worker; the hostels she opened not long ago were hostels (the 1l ab of their hind) fon' the sex that Lord Rowton left out in the cold. But if her guest in Yorkshire not long ago was Mrs. Pankhurst, it does not follow that the duchess has given her support to militancy. On many points these two were in agreement; on many others they were in opposition. In America her Grace could, like her mother, be an out-and-out suffragette,, because in America out-and-out suffragism wins the vote without recourse to extreme measures.

In 1884, writes e. friend of the Com- panion, my father moved from New Hampshire to a little Canadian settle- ment on the stage road halfway be- tween Waterloo and Montreal. There ho set up an Inn for the convenience of the traveling public, who wished to break the tiresome journey by stage. There had been a distillery on the place, but, true to his principles, father promptly destroyed it, and had hi. sign painted "The Temperance bon," so that no one might mistake the character of the place - Our nearest neighbors were French people, who had no children; but there were six of us, so we did not get lonesome. The daily arrival of the stage never ceased to be exciting. 'Then there were other travelers in chaise and on horseback, and once' a year a caravan of animals passed through, 'Think of six children hav- ing a whole menagerie to themselves. We enjoyed the elephants especially. There was a lake a little way from our house where the men took them to bathe. It was great sport to watch the big animals squirt water over one another with their trunks. Our house would look very baro In these days of palatial hotels. There were no carpets on the floors, but Irish Norah, the maid, kept them im- maculately clean by daily scrubbings. On extra occasions our mother would sand over the floor of the public re- ception room in intricate patterns, and then woe betide the youngster who ventured in to disturb the Work of art. One day there was the stir of pre- paration that always preceded the arrival of a special guest, whose coming had been previously an- nounced. We asked no questions, for in those days children did not Inquire into the doings of their elders, but we stationed ourselves where we could command a good view of the passengers as they Left the stage.

The woman wore . a veil, so we could not see her face; but her clothing looked rather shabby, so we ran into the kitchen to tell Norah that no one of any account had come. Norah WAS not In sight, but presently she bustled in, very much excited, 'If you childer want to' see the greatest singer in the world," she said, "jist page in the dining room at the end of the table be your faythor," We "paped," and there sat our plainly dressed traveler. Seto had a sweet face, but we could not under- stand why "the greatest singer in the world" should wear an old black dress with patches at the elbow (I saw them myself). As W0 pushed and scuffled In our eagerness to see her, the door swung wide open to our great con. fusion. M3' father shook his head at us, but the lady laughed. As we beat a hasty retreat, I saw that she was speaking to him. We felt we were great offenders, and when father came out into the kitchen a few minutes later, we ex- pected a reprimand. Ilut he only said, "You children may go into the parlor for awhile, Miss Lind wants to see you, It was a very bashful company that filed into the room.

By the first of January 1 feel all corn and from one to 1X pounds per head, or as much as they will eat up clean in a• day.

The hay is pert into the rack's in- doors and water is kept before them constantly.
