HERE was need of immediate
T action—but more immediate
was the necessity of finding a
weapon. Jimmy selzed a chair and
flung it at one of his opponents. The
creature automat.cally jumped out of
range, and the chalr thudden aga'nst
the wall. As if by magic a panel
opened and slid back.
Jimmy wasted no time in analyzing
the situation, b~ devoted himseif to
disposing of the men between him

through it and out of the neighbor
hood of flashing knives and gleaming
teeth and eyes. Nor did he iinger in
the room In which he suddenly fourd
himself to walt the coming of his foe.
The better part of discretion seemed
flight, and Jimmy considered this the
time to be very discreet. He rushed
on into another room and turned and
locked the door through which he had
come. - |

Then In great confusion he began

1 remembered how soon after the

meant pretty clothes and travel and

burst through the door presently and
demand a showdown of another kind.
There was everything to be gained
by disposing of one foe In advance.
Mr. Barton looked for a weapon and
ihia eye fell suddenly on the black
‘object on which the Italian had been
working when he came into the room.
’ He'aelzed it and prepared to fling
it at his opponent's head. Then a
surprising thing happened. The
Itallan fell on his knees and screamed
out a plea for mercy, “Datta a bomb!
I maka him-—don't throw—he killa us
both!”
Jimmy lowered it slowly, but con
tinued to threaten the maker, who
conntinued on his knees in deadly
terror. As yet there was no sound
of pursult. Jimmy crossed the room
and began climbing a ladder which
he had seen leaning against the win
dow. He was still holding the bomb
gingerly, but he managed to con
vey to the kneeling enemy that he
should be destroyed if he moved.
There was sound of blows on the
door beyond.
Jimmy reflected that he was Just
about in time and that he might have
to fling his weapon at the whole
bunch. It was rather an uncomfort

it hadn't been for gou.”
“Vee-veo—darling little Vee-vee—
yeu wouldn't have gone! My baby
sister wouldn't have gone—she
wouldn't!" cried Rex, In the frenzy
of suffering I suppose any fine man
feels when he finds that a woman he
has loved and idealized is weak.
“Yes, 1 could have, Rex. I know
you thought that if I had pretty
clothes and gayety, and could gO,
adout in society where I enjoyed my

only blunder. You see, I really love
Jim, and he really loves me. |
“When he found out that I had
gone to Fleurette's the very week
end you were arrested, he knew that
he hadn’t saved me when he tried to
put me out of his life, and that you
hadn't saved me when you tried to
put other things in my life,
“You're the two finest men 1 know,
but you couldn't save me, Rex. 1 was
golng away with Jim. 1 have been
the gayest in a gay crowd all this
winter--drinking and smoking and
filling my life with cheap things. Jim
was going to take me away to save
me from all that. What did save me
was finding out—about yon.”

Some years ago Lord Charles Beres

porter which ran as follows:
“My lord, last night my wife had

Princess of Wales If we may call the
Httle girl Princvss of Wales Brown,
and may we call the little boy Lord

Lord Charles obtained the Princess’
permission, and gladly consented him
self to the man's request.
Three months later came aonther
letter:

Various styles of moccasins. From left to right, the Winnebago, the Apache and the
Blackfoot. From the American Natural History Museum.
By GARRETT P, SERVISS. |
“T HAT'S not Delaware made,”
sald Deerslayer, examining
the worn and rejected foot
covering with a cautious eye. “I'm
100 young on a warpath to be posi
tve, but I should say that moccasin
has a northern look and comes from
beyond thesGreat Lakes.” ‘
In this passage from one of Cooper's
inimitable Indian romances we get a
vivid light on one of the most inter
esting Inventions of the American red
man—his pecullar and telltale foot
wear. The moccasin is an American
institution, notwithstanding the fact
that skin coverings for the foot have
been worn by the natives of Siberia
and European Lapland.
Even In this country, as Dr. Clark
Wissier, of th ¢ American Museum,
has shown, the moccasin was always
confined to the trides inhabiting the
northern two-thirds of the United
States territory and Canada. Mocea
sins have not been found In Mexico
or Bouth America. “The area of the
mc-:hmlbosmofnllcu
m‘l'"h': material of which the mocea
sin is made is dearskin, or some sim-

noticed ahead of him a roof in the
center of which there was a large
skylight. He made a mental note of
it and of the fact that be would have
to make a wide tour to avoid falling
over it.
Back of him he could hear the
shout of his pursuers. He had a feel
ing that he'd rather like Barnes to
see him now. City editors sometimes
and thus arose the real art of the
moccasin,
How far this art was carried may
be judged from the large collection of
moceasing to be seen in the Museum
of Natural History. It Increases one's
respect for the Indian to study these
expressions of his love of the beau
tiful, and his sense of harmony, pro
portion and propriety.
Each tribe had' its own special pat
tern, and its own way of cutting and
folding the skin, and this fact ex
plains the remark of Cooperw hero
qucted above. An Indian, dr an expe
rlenced white scout, like “Leath
erstocking,” could at a glance tell to
what tribe the lost moccasin picked up
in the forest belonged, and thus im
portant clews were often furnished to
the secret march of war parties.
Even the footprints of a moccasin
often revealed the tribe of its owner.
The Indian women were skilled in
making and adorning moccasins, But
”L‘ Indian could make & moccasin
quickly In case of necessity, and a
tourh bark would serve a temporary
purpose,
The moceagin_ was so essential a
part of the Indian dress that, natural
iy, legends grew ur about it. The In
dian had suficient creative Imagina
tion to ascridbe to moccasins the same
power of transporting their wearers
that the Greeks ascribe to the winged
sandals of Hermes. Thus In Mr
Longfellow's “Hiawatha” we read of

fell down on stories. . . . Jimmy
looked back to gauge the distance be
tween himself and his pursuers—and
then indeed he “fell down” on his
story. The skylight he had meant to
avoid seemed almost to leap out of
ambush and get into his way. He
tripped over it and the bomb flew

to the foot, it made no nolse, it di4
not confine the action of the muscles
it took a good hold In slippery places,
and it was sufficlently resigtant to
save the foot from ordinary injuries,
Besides, the foot of the Indian, ke
that of the barefoot boy, was hard

travel. In winter It was supplement

The excellence of the moccasin for

A Critical Moment.
His fall was broken by the provi
dential presence of a human being di
rectly in the line of his alighting. He
tumbled against a heavy body and
flung it to the floor, and Arturo cross

he had no time to indulge in commis
erating with himself anent his
bruises. He looked up and saw evil
faces leering down through the brok
en glass. Then Farrari pullied back
what was left of the skylight’s frame
work and prepared to drop through.
There was no time to waste. The
man who had broken his fall was un
conscious and could not come to the
assistance of his descending compa
triots. Whether they were friends or
foes—fellow Black Handers or fellow
victims along with him, Jimmy could
not afford to investigate. |
He lifted a sturdy right arm and
dealt the other Italian of the studio
a businesslike blow on the point of
the chin. If an instructor of boxing
had been present, Jimmy would have
gotten at least an approving hand
shake! Instead he was vaguely
aware of cowering forms in the studio
with him. He thought they were
women. And then another glance
told him who one of those women
was.,
