" power HE ISLE OF RETRIBUTI et BTAVIR S BEGIN HERE TODAY Beas Gilbert, Ned Cornet and the latter's, fiancee, Lenore Hardenworth, are shipwrecked, They take refuge on an island. occupied by a brute) named Doomsdorf ands his Indian| wife, The master of the island takes | Ned and the twe girls prisoners and] informs them that he means to make | them slave for him | Bess and Ned, with but very little} help from Lenore, build a cabim and | Doomsdorf gives them an old stove, When the cabin Is finished Bess and Ned are sent on different routes to do the winter trapping for their master Lenore is allowed to remain and help the squaw with the housework, Ned falls into & deep creviee and Bess rescues him, The two make plans to escape from the island | NOW GO ON WITH THE XxXvir, When food and warmth had brought compelte recovery, Ned took | up with Bess the problem of deliver. ance from the island., He found that for weeks she had beén thinking ulong the same line aud like him, she had | as yet failed to hit upon any plan that | oftered the least chance for success. | The subject held them late into the night, They ‘took different trails in the dawn, following the long circle of their trap lines, All the way they| pondered on this same problem, con- celving a plan only to reject it because of some unsurmountable obstacle to its success; dwelling upon the project every hour and dreaming about it at night. But Ned was far as ever from a conclusion when, three days later | he followed the beach on the way to | the home cabin. He had watched with deadened in- | terest the drama of the wild things | about him these last days; but when | he was less than a mile from home | he had cause to.remember it again. | To his great amazement he found at | the edge of the ice the fresh truck“ of one of the large island bears. The sight of the'great imprint was | ‘a welcome one to Ned, not alone be- | cause the wakening forecasted, per-| haps, an early spring, but because he;r was in immediate need of - bear fur. His own coat was®worn; besides, he | was planning a suit of cold-proof gar- ments for Lenore, to be used perhaps in their final flight across the ice. And he saw at once that conditions were favorable for trapping the great creature. 4 Scarcely a'quarter of a mile ahead, in a little pass that led through the shore cra down to the beach, Doomsdorf had left one of his most .powerful bar traps. Ned had seen it many times as he. had through on a short cut to the cabin. Because itilay in a natural runway for game—one of the few spots where the Bhore crags could be easily sur- mounted—it was at least possible that the hugh bear might fall intoit, on his return to his lair in the hills. Ned hurried on, and in a few ‘mo- ments had dug out the great trap from its covering of snow. Tor a moment he . actua®ly doubted his to set it. * It was of obsolete type, mighty-springed ,and its jaws were of a width forbidden by all laws | of trapping in civilized lands, yet Ned did not dm{h\‘. its ' efficiency. Its mighty irons rusted; but not even a bear's incalculable might could shat- ter them. . This was not to be a bait set, so his success depemded on the skill with which he concealed the trap. . First he carefully refiled the excavation he had made in digging out the trap; then he dug a shallow hole in the snow in the narrowest part of the pass. Here he set the trap, utilizing all the power of his mighty muscles, and spread a light covering of snow above. It was a delicate piece of wark, Ned had no wish for the cruel jaws TORY GARTERS No metal can touch you BuyWideweave PARIS for their style; wear them for their comfort.

But his heart was in the ven. | ture, for all his hatred of the eruelty of the deviee; and he eovered up his tracks with veteran's skill, Then he quietly withdrew, retracing his nlepn' and folowing the shere line toward the heme cabin Surely the mighty strength that had st the powerful spring and the skill that covered up all traces of his wer could succeed at last in freeing him from slavery, Ress had reached the shelter first, and she was partioularly relloved to | see Ned's taW form swinging toward | her along the shore, Doomsdor! was in a particularly ominous moed to- | night, The curious glitter in his magnetic eyes wWas more vouneed | than she had ever seen it—catlike in the shadows, steely in - the lautern light iand his cruel savagery was| just at the surface, ready to be wak.

Yet she dared not seek shelter in the new cabin, for the simple reason that she was afraid Doomsdort would follow her there, Until Ned came, her defenseé was sole- Iy the presence of ' Lenare and the squaw. There was no particular warmth in her meeting with Ned. Doomsdorf's eyes were still. upon her, and she was clambered jcareful to keep any hint of the new understanding out of .Mer face and eyes, Ned's weather-beaten coun- tenance was an expressionless as Sindy's own, The four of them .gathered about the little, fough table, and again the squaw’ served them, from 'the shad- ows. It was a strange picture, there in the lantern light—the impertrrb- abel face of the squaw, always half in shadow; the lurvid wild-beast eyes of Doomsdorf gleaming under his | shaggy brows; Lenore's beauty a thing to hold the eyes; and Bess har- rified and featful at What the next moment ‘might bring. Hardly a word was exchanged from the meal’s beginning to its end. Bess tried to talk, so as to divert Doomsdort’s sinister thoughts, but the words would not come to her lips, 'The man seemed eager to finish the meal. As soon as they had moved from the table toward the little stove, and the squaw had begun the work. of clearing away the dishes, Doomsdorf halted at Bess' side.

But there was, from his listeners, but one significant response at_first to the evil| suggestton that he made with such| iniquitous fires in his wild eyes and such a strange, suppressed tone in his voice. Bess' expression did not change. = It had already revealed the uttermost depths of dread. Ned still held himself, cold, now, as a serpent, waiting for_his chance. But the squaw p.fl.us'ed a single instant in her| work., For one breath they failed to hear the clatter of her pans. But seemingly indifferent, she immediately went back to her toil. Bess shook her head in appeal, “Wait till morning," pleaded, “I'm tired now—" Ned saw hy the gathering fury of their master's face that her refusal would only bring on the crisis, so he leaped swiftly into the breach, ‘‘Sure, Bess, let's go to look at them,” he said, “I'm anxious to see 'em, too—" Doomsdorf whirled to him, and his to Ned. Yet the latter did hot flinch . For a long second they regarded each other in implacable hatred, and 'then Dobmsdoyf’s sudden start told that he had been visited by inspiration, His leering look of contempt was al- most a smile, “Sure, come along,” he said. “I've ‘got something to say to you, too.

Legal Glants Battled Springfield, 111, Sept. 21.—Restora~ tion of the old court house at Méta- mora, Woodford county, last remain- ing building in which Abraham Lin- coln pleaded cases in the old circuit days, with Adlai Stevenson and Rob- ert Ingersoll, has just been completed. E. 8. Martin, supervising lrcmect of Illinois, who has been studyin 8- torical spots and buildings for years, had general charge of repairing and restoring the structure, which had been changed so much that Lincoln, were he to have seen it, would not have recognized it. The original lines of the court house, according to Mr. Martin, were very good. It was bullt on the classic models so often found in New Eng- land and Virginia—portico of four doric columns surmounted by a tower and belfry. But the building which was erected in the forties was remodeled in 1870, Bedtime Stories.
