His head felt twiee tu normal stse; his brain did- not function clearly and his ‘ limbs refused to . obey him. Betty's Tohse came to him as if from a long distance; sho was telling him something; trying to make him understand that they were alone in the house and that their assailant .had fled. When this became plain to Fur long. he sat down. It was some time before the girl succeeded In stanching that flow of blood wound, for she was scarcely in condition to render help to anybody. By the time her task was completed Ben bad managed to get a pretty clear idea of what had happened. She had been awakened by a sound and had realised that somebody was In her room; she had utter ed a frightened challenge, only to feel groping hands upon her, to find herself in the grasp of some unseen person. She retain ed no very clear recollection of anything after that; the rest was a hideous nightmare. Not until the miscreant had bolted out of the house and she had finally managed somehow to strike a light was she made aware of the reason for his flight. Then she had stumbled over Ben and had realised that it was his voice she had heard calling to her, that it was the sound of his coming that had interrupted the attack. His plight had done a god deal to bring her back to herself, but now she threatened to again abandon her self-control. Furlong checked this by say ing: “Betty Durham! You’ve got nothing on but your nightie!” It was some time later when the girl emerged from her room dressed after a fashion, to find her deliverer Waiting in tine kitchen with a scowl upon his face. “You got a gun?’’ he inquired.

On account of poor nourishment, many women suffer functional pains at certain times, and It is for these that Cardul Is offered on the record of the safe relief It has brought and the good it has done In helping to overcome the cause of womanly dis comfort, Mrs. Cole Young, of Lees- vflle.

For « moment Betty stared at the speaker; with shiking fin- gets she plucked at her diws. It itas In a thin, reedy voice that she tald:.

"rtovldence certainly bronght me hack. It wouldn’t' happen that way once In a thousand tlOes. Whoever It was. I’ll find him." Both the man and the girl were in wretched condition.

I believe Maddox Is fix- ir,g to shoot the well!’’ Betty took her place at his side. "Why—he can’t! He das- sent! The powder men won’t be here till tomorrow.” “All the same, he’s doing some thing queer. See those cans those shiny things?” "You couldn’t hire Tiller to touch nitroglycerine. He’s scared of it—” Ben uttered an oath. "I tell you he’s filling those cartridges. He’s crazy! You've got to stop him!” Betty turned white: she shook her head. “I won’t go near the place. It’s—it's Aunt Mary’s well.” “Then ru stop him. Why, It’s ten to one he’ll sear the rock, ruin the whole job and—Damned if I don’t believe he’s trying to do that very thing!’’ Furlong started for the door, but Betty clung to him. When he pushed on past her she followed him. Together they hurried a- cross the field and took the path through the nresqulte. As they went the girl continued to implore him not to Interfere. Halfway to the drilling camp they met the engineer hastening towards the farmhouse, and the latter announced, breathlessly: “T'iller’s gone plumb off his nut! He’s goin’ to shoot the well him self. You better stay clear.’’ Furlong dashed past the speak er and emerged from the shelter of the bushes in time to see Maddox gingerly swing a long, cylindrical tin over the well mouth and guide it into the opening. A new manlla rope had been run through a block on the derrick, and with this be lower ed the charge. Ben yelled at him: he waved his arms. Maddox glanced over his shoulder, then let the line slide smoothly through h 1 s hands. “Take my tip an’ don’t go too close,’’ the engineer ^houted. "He ain’t no powder man an’ that well’s making’ gas. She blows off every few minutes.” Betty seconded this warning in frantic tones of appeal: "Let him go. Bon. He knows what he’s doing. You’Ve got no right stop ping him. You’ll just make trou ble—” “It’s none of my business,” the latter agreed. Impatiently, “but there’s something crooked—’’ He ceased speaking; then he seized Betty and whirled her around with the sharp command, “Run! Get back!” They were still perhaps a hun dred yards from the well, but Furlong’s practiced eye bad seen something that suddenly raised the hair upon his head. That rope from which was suspended the heavy charge of liquid death no longer hung vertically, it no longer ran over the block and into the casing; instead It was falling in loops about Maddox. It was coming up out of the well! Maddox himself was alive* to what had happened. That which he most greatly feared had come upon him, and he also turned to flee. But the platform was slip pery or else he tripped over ti,e rope and fell. The others heard his cry of terror. He quickly re gained his feet, but to Furlong It seemed as it his movements thereafter were maddeningly slow and deliberate. The engineer's apprehensions had been well grounded. Once again gas had been released far dovyn in the earth, and now, like breath forced from the lungs of some tortured giant, it rose, pro pelling the smoothly fitting cart ridge t)f nitroglycerine ahead of It -aa a pda is-prnpelled. out of a pea-ehooter.

Even the bushes had been shaved off as by a sweeping scythe. That afternoon Furlong’s from? erable bundle in his arms. “How’s Betty?” ho Inquired. “She’s all right, but pretty well bruised, of course.” “Well, I guess there’s nothin’ more us boys can do, so we’re goln’ in to town.” ' “Right: I’ll stay here until Mrs. Durham gets back.” “Here’s all of Tiller’s stuff that We could find. I reckon you better look after it.” “Anything besides clothes?” come How did Maddox—?"fc I've figured that out, too. Mr. Durham must have had it in his pocket when Maddox found him. That would explain everything— how he made your aunt do just what he wanted and why she didn’t dare to fire him.” “That’s why she said I’d have to marry him! That’s why—Oh, Ben!” Betty rose suddenly and clutched Furlong. "I knew she was a mean, selfish old thing, but I never thought she was so— wicked. This Is a curse to poor people. I hate It!” “Why, Betty!" Furlong ex claimed. "You’re the wicked one to qnarrel—” "She’s the only kin I’ve got left and I tried my best to love her.
