Webster glanced at the card and strode over to tlie young nan. “1 awm | Mr. Webster, -4ir,” he aunounced | civilly in Spanish. *“And you are Licutenant Arredondo?’ The visitor rose, bowed low and in- dicated he was that gentleman, *1 have called, Mr. Webster,” he stated in most excellent English. “in the In- terest of my friend and comrade, Captalo Benavides.” “Ah, yes! The fresh little rooster 1 ducked in the fountain this evening. Well, what does the little squirt waut now? Another ducking?” Arredondo flushed angrily but re- membered the dignity of his mission and controlled his temper. *Captain Tenavides has asked me to express to you the hope that you, being doubtless a wan of honor—" “Stop right there, Lieutenant. There is no doubt about it. T am a wan of honor, and ynless you are anxious to be ducked in the fountain, you will be more careful in your choice of words. . Now then: You are about to say that, being a man of honor—" “You would accord my friend the ~ satisfaction " 'whicli™ one gentleman never fails to accord another.” “That lets me out, amigo,” Wehster laughed. “Benavides isn't a gentle- man. He’s a cutthroat, little black-and-tan-hound. Do I un- derstand he wants me to fight a duel with him?” Lieutenant Arredondo could mot) trust himself to speak, and so he howed profoundly. “Very well, then, Lieutenant,” Web- ster agreed. “I’ll fight him.” “Tomorrow morning at five o"clock.” “Five minutes from now if you say s0." “Captain Benavides will be grateful for your willing spirit, at least.”” the second replied bitterly. “Yeu realize. of course, Mr. Webster, that as the challenged party, the choice of weap- ons rests with you.” “Certainly. I wouldn't have risked a duel if the choice lay with the other fellow.

At about the same hour Neddy! Jerome, playing solitaire in the Engi- neers’ club in Denver, was the recip- ‘ient of a cablegram which read: “If W. cables accepting reply re- jeeting account job filled otherwise heans spilled.

CHAPTER XI. For fully an hour after retlring. John Stuart Webster slept the deep, untroubled sleep of a healthy unwor- ried man; then one of the many species of “jigger” which flourish just north and south of the equator crawl- ed into bed with him and promptly proceeded to establish its commissary on the inner flank of the Websterian thigh, where the skin is thin and the | As a con- | blood close to the surface. sequence,’ Mr. Webster awoke sud- denly, obliterated the intruder and got out of bed for the purpose of ‘anointihg - the - injured spot ith alcohol—which being- done, an actiye | search of the bed resulted in the dis- covery' of three more jiggers and the envelgpment of John Stuart Webster’s soul fn tiie fogs.of apprehension, “'Pis an evil land, filled with trou- e, he mused as he lighted a ret. “I wish Bill were here to advise me. He ought to be able to straighten this deal out and assure the higher-ups that I'm not butting in on their political affairs. But BIll's up-cquntry and here I am under sur- veillance and unable to leave the hotel to talk it over with Andrew Bowers, the only other white expert I know of in town, ; And by the way, they’re after Andrew, too! I wonder what for.” He smoked two cigarets, the while he pondered the various visible as- pects of this dark mess in which he found himself floundering. And fin- ally he arrived at a decision, “These chaps apen’t thorough,” Webster - de- cidea. “They’ll see me safely to bed and pick me up again in the morning —so I'll take a chance that the coast is clear, slip out now and talk it over with Andrew.” ‘He ' looked «t *his watch—eleven- thirty. Hurriedly he dressed, strapped on his automatic pistol, dragged his bed noiselessly to the open window and tied- to the bed-leg the rope he used to lash his trunk; then he low- bl He Lowemd Himself Out of the Win. dow. cred himself out the window. The length of rope permitted him to de- scend within a few feet of the ground, Webster made his way to the street unnoticed and ten minutes later ap- peared before the entrance of El Buen Amigo just as Mother Jenks was bar- ring it for the night. “T am Mr. Webster,” he announced, Mr. Geary's friend from the United Mother Jenks, having heard of him, was of course profoundly flustered to meet this toff who so carelessly wired his down-and-out friends pesos oro in lots of a thousand. Cordially she in- vited him within to.stow a peg of her st, which 4invitation Mr. Webster promptly accepted. “To your beautiful eyes,” Webster | toasted her. “And mow would you | minl leading me to the quarters of Billy’s friend Mr. Bowers?” She shuffled away, to return pres- ently with the news that Mr. Bowers | was in his room and would be de- lighted to receive Mr. Webster. Moth- er Jenks led Webster to the door, nounced him and discreet- 1y withdrew. “My dear Webster!” cried Andrew Bowers enthusiastically, and he drew his late fellow-passenger into the room. \Webster observed that Audrew was not alone. “I want to see you privately,” he said. “Didn‘t know you had company, truded.” (Continued In Next 1ssue) Two hours later Neddy Jerome re- i through playing a good hand | or I wouldn't have in- “CLASSIFIED DEPARTHENTS for at time of insertion will be charged for at ONE CENT a word, and then only to those having open accounts on our books.

Gasoline, ether and benzine could not be kept on shelves in a cabinet in the house, the national board of fire underwriters says in a recent article. It is exceedingly dangerous, as either gasoline or benzine gives off at ordi- nary temperature intlammable vapor. Through these vapors, a light at a distance may ignite the liquid. If there is a small leak in the container in which any of the liquids are kept, sufficient vapor may form to cause a violent ex; sion. With ether the dan- ger is even greater than with gaso- line or benzine. To Remove Grit From Eye. Small foreign bodies which are not imhedded in the eyeball may often be removed by going into a dark room, looking up toward the lighting fixture, then turning the light on quickly, writes a correspondent. 1f the light is strong enough, it will cause a vio- lent reaction which will cause the particle to be washed to the corner of the eye. It is then easily removed by means of\n clean handkerchief. subscribe for The Dally Ploneer. | 10 6 room | | house. Modern if possible. Ad-| dress .

III, verse 2: “But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fuller's soup.” i Early Writing Fluid, For several centuries an infusion of pm,e(l the only known writing fluld.

But Bemidji's pertinent question has lalwnyn been “Has anyone here in Bemidji been cured?” The word of a stranger living a hundred miles away may be true, but it cannot have the same weight with us as the word nut galls with sulphate of iron com- o¢ our awn c:tizens, whom we know and respect, and whose evidence we! can so_easily prove. 0.
