A Political By WELDON CHAPTER XL (Continued.) Ilope sprang to the gap. hands outstretched, to stay his speeding, foe, but Kftw had vanished. Peerin past the edge of tie broken balcony floor, he saw Kane go feet foremost down past the sidewalk and through a window area, archpd with a stone coping. . The fall was a full twenty feet. "Has he escaped me killed?' cried TKne. The thought aroused him to quiokaction. He swung back to the win'.v, upsetting an obtruding politician, hose attention had been attracted by the nois? of the scu2e in the precipitancy of his rush. Through the room, down a staircase and ont to tha street Hope hurried. He reached the spot where he had seen Kane disappear. He stared down the dark aperture, then called: "You Kane V No response, lie knelt and flared a lucifer. Its rays showed a shallow dip, faced only by the barred cellar window. "Gone I" Electrified, baffled, Hope sprang to his feet and glared around the spot, piercing the distance with nuch the furious glance cf a tiger thrown from the trail. It was presumable it was certain Kar.e had sustained a light fell, had instantly recovered his wits .and had climbed ont of the window area and escaped. Whither ! Hope ran twenty feet in one direct ion, then in another, paused growled, enraged. His fingers tore the air he was on fire witl chagrin and fury. Abruptly be focussed the contending emotions that distracted his usually keen wits to a reasonable but rapid estimate of the situation. He had alarmed had warned his enemy. Kane's one thought now would be of flight, of hiding. He was beggared, discredited : the friends he had dragged down to ruin would be friends no longer. Hope couldV think out his probable course. First, money then, distance. Would he bade vengeance? Oh, never, never ! Kane parted the crowd in tie street without ceremony. He reached a more quiet side thoroughfare. An empty cab came dashing abound the corner, its driver fresh for Lis night's work, the steed attached mettled snd ready for speed. In a maute Hope was inside, brief, exact orders given to th cab driver. The vehicle became a thing of flight. CHAPTER XII. Inside of the hour Hope made three calls all disappointing ones. . To the elegant apartments occupied In the past by the arch-swindler, to the home of his chief and confrere, to a club where both sometimes spent their evenings. lie got trace of the conpany president, lie was with seme choice friends, drown ing fear and dejectio'n in strong drink. With him Hope had nothing to do, so he continued his search, but he gained no conclusive trace of the man he sought. He knew the machiu?nr of the law well, from past critical experience, and besides had a hundred aye, a thousand ready aides whom he could rty on recent assistants in the political battle he had fought so hard to win.Jmt which now seemed as a bauble, a mere bubble to him. The first reckless fever of triumph and ha had changed, however; he no longer thou ,ht of immediate public denouncement of his enemy. A slow, refined methjd of meting out his vengeance appealed to him, and he' considered only personally securing the fugitive again, secretely arraigning him, probing deeper for detailed confession and postive, concluga mated says do it?' I must find hin ?. :one before the night is through." decided Hope. "Where is he hidden? Whit will his course be? Free the fight is lost! I acted with rash precipitancy, but the temptation was strong. Patience, Everett my miut'ered brother! Ten years, and so iaaxy days In all those years! Tet all mora to this climax ! Patience, the hour has turely come ! But precious time had already gone by and Kane had not been found. Every minute at leisure thus meant golden time to perfect his plans for security for the fugitive. Finally an inspiration seized Hope. "The mills'" he 6aid, swiftly, and the driver, appraised, started his horse's head in a new direction. The works were not in operation. Here and there presented evidences of light and action, but only to a degree evidencing the necessary means of keeptry important steam and blast essentials la shape for the morrow. The election had caused a general stoppage of labor, and as Hope n eared the mills at a furious rate of speed, the g;im, black outlines of stacks and bunkers were ghoulishly suggestive of the ruin brooding over the d-med enterprise. nis body thrilled in the swaying vehicle and his eyes lit up, as, sharply scanning every "jrt of the structure where the general offices were located, he made out a certain speck of light. It was in the single room bulb Muralaant in the entire building, and It marked that section of the same given over to the private headquarters of the executive. "A quick theory, a keen hope, inspired the- trailer. It was quite natural that Kane should come hither. Some spoils there were yet on hand to seize, iome incriminating documents, doubtlessly, to lestroy before be abandoned the sinking craft, and signaling a stop in an avenue formed by towering heaps of pig iron, Hope leaped to the ground. "Wait for me here," he ordered the ?ab driver. -All right, sir." Hope sped forward. He was yet a lit;Ie ways from the mills proper, but he adjudged it best to approac with caution. There was a labyrinth of criss-cross lanes ind roads to pursue, and suddenly, as he imerged into the main cindered path, that cut the factory expanse due south and lorth, he very nearly ran under the feet f two prancing stels drawing a closed :arriage. lie darted back in time to save himself, ;bough the vehicle guards quite grazed his ody. Inside he made out a single ocnpant of the carriage a man. "Not Kane" he reflected rapidly, "but lomeone on a mission of urgency. Sent for? Yes!" Btrong In this conviction, Hope hastened forward. He was soon lining the side f the building he had in view. The carflag? was no longer in sight. It bad proably cut around to the main front entrance. His steps lent also thither. Hope paused abruptely. A watchman might challenge him, the Soors might be unlocked to admit the visitor, relocked to exclude other; hence, no thoroughfare. Again, it was fa interminable, and in the dark an unfamiliar distance from the portal to the secluded snd exclusive corner range of private offices on the third floor, where Hope had bsered the guiding light. It shone there fet; hv could note its rays piercing a prism frame, and immediately he resolved to gain its vicinity by especial and originsi means. For too many long, watchful weeks had that nest of luxury and scheming known the untiring cynosure of CJideon Hope, that he should not now know its environment and every available outside approach. Ills motive at present, clear and 'limiIe. was to speedily reach the vicinity

LCI J. COBB of the room beyond the lighted window. With feverish activity he scaled a fireescape, gained a roof, espied the situation in closer touch and found how he could get within direct sight and sound range of the occupnts of the room that was his present objective point of interest. The apartment fronted the mills. It led out at the rear to a light shaft. Here there was a single small window. Its base was broad and extending, sufficiently so to admit of a person finding safe and comfortable foothold there, and thither, without much difficulty, by clinging to some wires looping from the roof, Hope lowered himself eight feet. Now he could see into the room, and also hear what might be spoken within its confines, for the upper sash was tilted outward for ventilation. He saw Percy Kane at a first quick scan of the office interior; he heard his voice al?o. All the hot, surging passion of his nature once more set brain and heart on fire. Swung perilously pendant above far nothingness, at midnight, here and now Gideon Hope watched a new chapter open in the tragedy under play the final one he grimly considered, for the white face, the haunted eyes, the trembling, twitching frame of the man upon whom his glance rested, told him surely that Percy V. Kane, wrecker, assassin, fugitive, was at the lat ditch! CI I A PTE It XIII Kane bore the appearance of a man in a frightful state of mental incertitude and excitement. The high strain of tremendous thoughts obliterated all his customary steadiness of glance and bearing, and every action wa3 spasmodic. He had Just welcomed to the room the occupant of the carriage. Hope had noted this person centered the watcher's immediate attention. Hope recognized him as the cashier of the principal local bank, guessed his mission, grimly decided he had come upon the scene fortuitously. "I called you up," he distinctly heard Kane say. "You roused me out of bed," answered the other. His glance took in Kane gravely and anxiously. "What's up, now?" he continued. "I sent for you as a friend," said Kane, in a pitiful, faltering tone. "Very well I i-ome as a friend," retorted the other. "Put I intimated business, further vital, speedy." "I am prepared for that also," observed the bank cashier. He placed a hand beyond the buttoned lapels of his coat, half withdrew, wholly replaced again, a bulky, oblong package. Kane's eyes lit up electrically, and immense aspiration of relief, of joy, escaped his lips. "Friend, Indeed!" he cried, effusively grasping and wringfbg the hand of the other "Wortle, it's life or death for the Trust! It was a queer message to send to a man in the dead of night, but there was nr' other way. See here we are in deep wf ters !' "I know that, of course," observed the cashier. "Put I estimated you knew your business. You telephoned me to get two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash, bills of large' denomination, and bring them here at once." "And you have them?" "Two hundred and fifiy-one thousand dollars bills yes." The schemer's face flamed with gladness and sinister triumph. "Now, what is your proposition?" resumed the cashier. "Simply this: ' "As I say, we are at the limit with that money, I can hurry to Pittsburg, may be able to make a turn that saves us. You have pretty nearly everything tangible we've got in the way of securities. I propose to turn ovet to you, in addition wait, I'll show you I esteem this friendly act if yours." He turned to the vault. Click click! His nimble fingers sent the disc spinning, came for me, and blindly I oZcy you, though oh! the woe of it! I have gone to .become Percy Kane's wife!" "The bonds and stocks of the executive," he explained "the last dollar we hold. I turn them in as collateral, trusting you absolutely." , The man of money was fairly amazed. He stood staring down at the securities in the tin box. "Kane," he said, a flush of genuine pleasure an3 emotion on bis face, "this is generous! Of course, only considered as giving us absolute control of everything. is the security valid, but it shows you don't Intend to leave a friend like myself in the lurch If anything happens, eh't" "Never!" spontaneously asserted the other, never flinching as he realized the vast treachery this transaction meditated towards his confreres in the trust. Nearer to the ventilating slit in the window frame Gideon Hope pressed his face. With burning glance he viewed the contents of the tin box gone over. The cashier examined the bonds and stock it contained. The flush on his face showed that he was satisfied with the security offered, but he was slow and methodical, and the impatient Kane, watching him covertly, frequently wetted his dry, parch ed lips with his tongue, and panted quite. and often started at the slightest strange outside noise. Hope read him through and through at cowardly sacrifice he had secured the ready means to carry him to the ends of the world. If he choose and he was anxious to start upon the journey. "All right," sonorously stated the bank cashier at last, replacing the securities in the box, and setting that receptable near his hat and cane on a stand, as if taking possession. Then his hand again sought his breast pocket. Kane's eager, brilliant eyes rustled like a ferret. He stole out a hand trembling from excitement, to seize the coveted money. At that moment Gideon Hope restrain ed himself no longer. "Hold!" he cried. Both men started the cashier in clear amazement profound Kane as though a voice from the grave or the rostrum of Justice had challenged bim. Hope pressed on one window frame, but could not move It from the outside. This commotion at once centered the attention of the two occupants of the room. "What's that!" sharply demanded the cashier. "(Jive me the money!" breathed Kane; "the wind, some drunken workman. Hurry up, Wortle! I'm due to make quick train connections." He would have snatched the cashier's hand and the precious package it held unceremonously from his breast, but the lat ter forcibly pressed him back. "Hold on let us investigate this queer occurrence," Wortle insisted "heavens!" Crash ! clatter Hope had precipitated a fateful climax. He could not move the sash. Tearing the soft flexible cap he wore from his head, he twisted one hand inside of it, and, his fingers thus guard ed, dealt a smashing blow at upper Ihjht of glass. It shattered to brittle nothingness. It rained inside the room in noisy, scintillating fragments. Framed in this prismatic shower, he stood revealed a dreadful presentation to Kane, a source of Ivid stupefaction for the bewildered bank cashier. "Don't give that ruan the money !" mandatorily ikouted Hope.

T Vaw h himself w.i ha filed. Stel bars.

Ii;;ht but strong, covered the inside window frame. He Lad known of their existence previously, but in the excitement of the past few moments had scarcely been eonsicously aware of the formidable barrier they presented. "Who is this?" stared th astounded cashier. "The money !" pl.-aded Kane, whit and fear-filled. "No!" cried Hope. "Hold him off till I" he poized the bars, shook them vainly, and gritted his teeth in futile desperation. "The money !" persisted Knne, now pressing upon the cashier in a certain menacing way. "Listen !" spoke Hope hotly, calling through the bars: "this man has deceived you. He has no thought of redeeming the trust he is seeking only to fly, leavin ruin behind him, and you will be involved if yon perfect this trasacticn. Be warn,rd! He is a cnmiaal, a fugitive, a mur derer!" Blankly the cashier stared at this weirdly appearing, impressive accuser. "The money, I tell you I will have it !" snarled Kane. Frenzy, murder, was in his reckless eyes. He fairly leaped upon the cashier. 'What this mm says" debated th cashier, sternnously disputing forcible dispossession of the money package. "Lies I" "The truth!" thundered Hope." "You, sir strike him back ! your money is lost, if he secures it." "Give it up !" howled Kane repulsed, and poizing from a table a heavy ornamental ruler. It was a sample of the metal product of the mill-8, and deadly as the bludgeon of a highwayman. He lifted it. The bar whistled through the air, descended. There was a sickly thud, a crash, as, spurting blood from a frightful gash in the forehead, the unfortunate bank cashier toppled backward over a chair, carrying it to ruins, and sinking with a groan sensless to the floor. Kane stopped over him, tore the package of money from his still spasmodically clenched hand, cast a last startled glance at the face and form at the window, and dashed from the room. (To be continued.) OREGON GAME DISAPPEARING. Wild Illrd and A n Intal It ut blraaly Manghtrred by Hunters. After spending two mouths In the lake region of Southeastern Oregon investigating conditions nnd studying bird and animal life in that locality, Herman T. Bohlnian and-William L. Flnley returned to Portland Sunday night. These two ethnologists havi been working In the interests of the Audubon Society, whose purposes are to protect and to preserve the wild birds and animals in this State, says the Portland Oregon lan. "Our trip was full of hardships, especially while we were on the lakes," said Mr. Flnley. "I believe there are to-day less than 2,000 antelop? In our State. Their destruction has been rapId. The antelope is au animal well equipped by nature, but he cannot hold his own against the Invasion of new settlers. Iu a few years the last of the herd will be gone and the antelope In Oregon will be extinct. The mountain sheep also Is practically extinct iu Oregon. I know of a small bund still found in the Stein mountains, lu the southern part of Harney County, but It numbers only live ewes and three rams. "Among the native wild birds the snowy heron lias suffered most. It is practically extinct in this State because for yeaYs It has been sought by the plume hunter. The only two colonies In the State we have known of were in Klamath County aud on Lake Malheur. Both of these were annihilated years ngo. For more than a month we cruised Malheur lake In a small boat hunting for the remnants of these snow-white birds. Irt all that time we saw only two snowy-white herons. I doubt if more than two dozen of the birds are to be fouud in the State, while In the '00s one of the plume hunters made more than $14100 In a day nnd a half 'shooting up tho colony. "From the siortsman's standpoint the sage grouse, or sage hen, Is a good game bird, but their numbers art; falling off rapidly. They can never hold their own like the Chinese pheasant or even the quail or the sooty or blue grouse. "We have found several ew and interesting birds that we t not met with In our previous work. The bobolink, for instance, Is a covmnon resident of Harney County and sings as sweetly 3 in a New England meadow. The cowMrd and the eastern kingbird we found all through that section of the State. We also found a colony of white-faced glossy ib!s breeding on Lake -Malheur. This Is a rare bird for our State, and the colony we found Is the ouly one we know of In Oregon. "On the whole, Malheur lake Is the greatest feeding and breeding grcomd for water fowl of the Pacific coast. I doubt if its equal exists anywhere in the United States." III Wife. The agent stepped briskly up to Mr Meekly's desk and laid a small article close to ids right hand. "I have here a new letter opeuer," he said, "a handsome article to be kept on the table In your library, say, and" "Pardon me," interrupted Mr. Meekly, without turning his had, "but I have already the best letter opener, and the quickest." "How long have you had it?" persisted the agent. "You know there are constant improvements always being Introduced." "Mine couldn't bo Iitproved," responded the gentleman. 'I've had her for about two years aow anniversary of the wedding next nionlh!" Stray Stories. 1It You Seen If erf "What kind of a woman Is she?' "One without diplomacy." "Without diplomacy?"

Cook I Without n Fire. The hay box, or tireless cooker, can no longer be regarded as an experiment. Thousands are In practical use in private homes and the government carries them on all marching expeditions. These cookers may bo made at home, nnd If well racked with Insulating material give good results. The construction of this cooker Is simple. The packing box should be about four Inches larger In every direction than the vessel used. The vessel 6hould be of tin or enamel, with a tight cover. Line tho box with several thicknesses of paper or asbestos. Spread over the bottom a thick layer of ha j, crumpled newspaper, or similar material, tightly racked. The cooking vessel Is placed on the center of this and the spaces between It nnd the sides of the lx packed tight with hay or other material. A thick cushion or pad of proper size should be made to cover the top of the can. aud a wooden cover for 'the top of the box Is necessary. Vegetables or meats to be cooked are first placed in water and brought to a boiling point ; when they are removed put the vessel into the cooker, put the STYLES SHOW TENDEN covers in position and the food will cook slowly but thoroughly without further attention. A fowl, for example, put Into the vessel after having been boiled for ten minutes will, after ten ours in the cooker, le most delieatey cooked. M!lih Hveniiii; lint.

Chicago contains at least twelve women who believe they have model husbands, and they do not use the term model ns meaning a small imitation of the real thing. They had an exhibition the other day at which the husbands proved their right to the title. The final nnd supreme test was given when the men were called uion to fasten a twenty-four-button embroidered shirtwaist; the waist was decorously put on a wooden dummy, so that the men might be In no way embarrassed. Two of the husbands fastened the willst In two minutes and seven seconds without pulling off a single button or tearing any of the embroidery. They will have to enter Into a subsequent contest to discover who Is the modelest model husband of the lot. Thing Ilava Chanced. . No longer do a ring, a thimble, nnd a piece of money answer for a fortuu"telling cake for girls. No, Indeed! The day Is long past when marriage, splnsterhood and rich Inheritance were the J only carecis open to this sex.

It Is a fancy just now to line fur coats with brocade In the shade of the skin. Long, full wraps for evening and afternoon are made of old-fashioned brocade. One fad is the employment of black chiffon with colored cloth and Bilk gowns. Sets of boa, muff and a fwr toque to match, are to he the latest thing for winter. It is not Improbable, on account of the high collars of the new coats,, that less will be seen of boas. Tan shoes are more fashionable than ever before, and ooze and suede are more popular than the calfskin. Black net is placed over vests of bordered black chiffon and other material with such touches of color.

When pieces of felt are pasted to the lM)ttom of ornaments that are to stand on a polished surface, care must be taken that the surface is not damp or tho varnish fresh, or the lint from the felt will stick to the wood and be worse than the scratch.
