THIRTEENTH EPISODE
The Hidden Menace.
As Leontine knelt there Ravengar
dlsuppeured.
He wus gone In a moment, before
her eyes, and before the eyes of the
group of doctors and hospital assist-
ants who had run up to the scene of
the fighting. '
She rose to her feet with a cry. The
hospital staff stared about them in
amazement.
"Where Is he?" cried everyone.
"He is gone!" cried Leontine. "He
has been kidnaped. Come to the po-
lice station. We can do nothing more
now. I know—"
They followed her to the police sta-
tion, and there the difficulty was in-
tensified. The police listened to her
story In incredulous surprise, until
Leontine, realizing the futility of what
she was trying to say, became silent.
She had caught the looks that were
interchanged, looks suggestive and
hinting as to her condition of mind.
She decided to go to Raveugar's
laboratory.
She ordered a taxicab and drove to-
ward the laboratory.
Meanwhile a little scene was taking
place in the street in front of the
building. Mr. Patrick McGuire, who
had nothing in particular to do, was
watching some street urchins quarrel-
ing over a find which they had picked
up In the street. It was, In fact, noth-
ing else than the bottle of pellets.
One of them, a boy of seven or eight
years, had pounced upon it and picked
it up. He looked very greedy eyes at
the dark bean-like objects, apparently
chocolate-coated, which lay In his
hands.
Ho was about to convey one of them
to his mouth when an older boy
snatched the bottle and pellets from
him.
As the elder boy held the bottle
tantalizingly aloft, the little fellow
squared his fists for the fray.
"Go to it, fellers!" said Mr. Mc-
Guire, watching them with an amiable
grin.
The little fellow was a godd fighter.
They rolled over and over in the mud,
hammering each other for all they
were worth. A policeman strolled
along and, quickening his leisurely
pace, came up to them.
"Get out of that!" he said.
The boys, terrified by the law, dis-
appeared promptly, leaving the bottle
of pellets lying in the road. Mr. Mc-
Guire strolled forward and appro-
priated the spoils of war. He looked
at the bottle and at the loose pellets,
which, coated with dust, appeared like
chocolafe-coated beans. Then he walked
a few yards to a house in the rear of
the laboratory, where some women
were hanging up clothes.
"Hey, Mrs. Splelburger, see what
that kid of yours was trying to eat!"
he said.
At that moment Leontine suddenly
appeared on the scene.
"Ghre me that bottle," she cried. "It's
mine. I lost it and I have been look-
ing for it. It contains a rare medicine.
I will give you fifty dollars for it."
Pat eyed her in astonishment. "Did
youse mean that, lady?" he demanded.
"Yes."
Pat placed the bottle in Leontlne's
hands. At that moment an extraordi-
nary thing happened.
Two hands, apparently materialized
out of the air, closed over Leontlne's
and attempted to wrest the bottle
from her. Leontine screamed and
fought for it. She looked up into two
eyes—nothing but eyes. They were
Sebastian's.
The German woman, her neighbor,
nnd Pat McGuIip watched the strug-
gle in consternation, too terrified to
scream. Leontlne's hands were slow-
ly opening under the pressure of Se-
bastian's. She let the bottle fall.
Patrick McGuire darted forward and
picked it up. As he stood with his
hund clenched tight about it the hands
in the air began to close about his
wrists.
Pat wrenched himself free, stooped
down, and picked up a wash-stick that
was lying in the yard. Still holding
the bottle tightly In his left hand, with
his right he begun striking about in
every direction. There was the sound
of the stick descending upon a skull,
and a distinct arrest of its movement
through the air, which would have
sounded comical under other circum-
stances.
In a few moments Pat stood, the
stick still brandished in an attitude
of defiance, clutching the bottle of pel-
lets victoriously In his hand. But the
hands of the spirit had disappeared.
Pat, with a bow, handed the bottle
to Leontine.
"Keep it for me," she said. "Guard
it in a safe place until I am ready for
It, and I will pay you five hundred
dollars instead of fifty."
"Foive hundred, is it?" cried Pat.
"Sure, lady, for foive hundred dollars
I'll fight all the ghosts in Christen-
dom."
"I'll come for It soon."
"Sure, and I'll go with you, lady,"
answered Pat.
"You can see me to the subway,
then," she said.
Pat started off at her side in the at
titude of a protector. It was not a
long walk, but it required passing
through a slum region and over a high
railroad bridge.
Under the bridge ran the river, and
along the river bank was the railroad.
At the approach to the bridge was a
tool house, used by a construction
gang. Against the wall an iron crow-
bar was leaning. Suddenly Leontine
screamed and caught Pat by the uri%
Unseen hands had silently picked uo
the crowbar and poised It on high. At
that Instant It was descending with
fearful force towurd the Irishman's
head.
Leontine tried to pull Pat back. But
Pat, who seemed to miss nothing, start-
ed forward with wonderful agility,
and the bar passed within an inch of
his skull and shoulders and thudded
upon the ground. Next moment Pat
had leaped at his assailant.
They fought all over the bridge side-
walk, gradually being carried furflier
and further toward the middle of the
bridge, so that now they were fighting
over the river beneath. Pat struggled
with all his power, but he was uo
match for his antagonist. He was
thrown bodily over the bridge.
The Irishman went under immediate-
ly. Then, as Leontine leaned over the
rail, sick with horror, she perceived a
rowboat with two men in It approach-
I lug the spot rapidly.
| But before it reached the spot Pat's
head appeared above the waves. lie
nodded briskly, and his arm went out
In the movement of a swimmer. Pal
had survived his fall, and In a min-
ute he was being hauled into the boat.
Leontine began running aloug the
bridge at the top of her speed. She
reached the further end, and, a min-
ute or two later, was standing upon
the wharf, toward which the rowboat
was making Its way, conveying Pat.
"You are not hurt?" cried Leontine.
"I guess it'll take more than a ghost
to put Patrick McGuire out of busi-
ness," answered the dripping Irishman
with a grin.
"And the bottle—the bottle?"
"Sure, miss, I lost it in the water,"
answered Pnt In abject contrition.
Leontine was downcast. "Well,
never mind. The shadow didn't get
it," she answered.
She gave Patrick her card. "I shall
send you a check as soon I get home,"
she said. "Five hundred dollars, be-
cause you did your best and risked
your life for me."
Leontine had not reflected on one
thing. A bottle will float. If she had
waited—If Pat had waited. But that
was Just where they failed In the mo-
ment of success.
Slowly the bottle traveled upon the
lapping waves. It was making toward
the pier, half submerged, but easily
resting in the water. Nobody seemed
to notice it—and yet one person no-
ticed it
For, as It came to rest against the
support of the pier nearest to the
wharf, a pair of hands, wholly de-
tached from any arm, came forward
and picked the bottle out of the wa-
ter.
Sebastian had picked Ravengar up
bodily and hurried out of the hospital
with him, the mantle securely enwrap-
ping the pair of them. With a great
effort he placed him In a taxicab
which was standing outside. Leaving
him covered, he went to the chauffeur
with instructions to take him to a
certain place where he knew he could
find rest and a breathing space.
It was the upper floor of a garage
on a small estate near the city, which
he owned under an assumed name.
Sebastian dismissed the taxicab, and
the chauffeur drove away, quite ignor-
ant that be had conveyed more than
one person to the garage. Sebastian
had meanwhile removed Ravengar,
who was still half conscious. He car-
ried him up the stairs to the room
above the garage. Then he bound him
hand and foot and stood gazing at him
triumphantly.
At last he had his enemy in his
power. And he meant to make full
use of that power.
But he could not remain there to
exact his vengeance. lie must follow
up Leontine. He administered a pow-
erful South American drug, which
would prolong the period of Raven-
gar's unconsciousness for a definite
time. Then, leuving Ravengar bound,
he hurried downstairs, opened the
door, locked it behind him, and went
off in search of his wife.
He did not find Leontine at the
hospital. But he met her at the back
of the laboratory, with the results al-
ready Indicated.
He had achieved his purpose. Tri-
umphantly he hastened back to the
garage.
He found Ravengar Just awakened
from the effects of the drug. He stood
over him and surveyed him, his eyes
blazing with triumph.
"I've got you," he said. "I guess
you're pretty helpless now. What are
you going to do about It?"
"It Jooks to me as If It's up to you,
Senor Navarre," responded Ravengar.
"It's not up to me, it's up to you,"
answered Sebastian. "What's the use
of these pellets? Come, you may as
well tell the truth."
"I never tell anything but the truth,"
said Ravengar.
"That's sense," said Sebastian.
"When I tell anything," continued
the other, from his position upon the
floor.
"I .guess you'll tell me nil right,"
said Sebastian, with a threatening ges-
ture. "The game's up, isn't it? I've
got you, and I've got your cloak. And
I've got your pellets. What more Is
there to get, except your life?"
Ravengar smiled again. "Go ahead,"
he answered.
"I'm not a murderer, except when I
have to be. I don't care if you're llv
ing or dead. What I want is to know
the secret of these pellets? What's
the use of them? I heard you talking
to my wife in your laboratory, but I
didn't get what you said about the pel
lets, except that they're black. Well,
I know they're black. Any fool can
see that. But what am I going to do
with them?"
"Eat them," suggested Ravengar.
"They won't hurt you. All they'll do
will be to make you black Inside, and
you're that ulready, friend."
Sebastian scowled again. It was
humiliating to be taunted by a man
whose life wus at his mercy.
"See here," he said. "I'll give you
your life If you'll tell me what the
pellets are for. Why shouldn't you
and I go Into partnership? We are
the only people who know the secret.
There ought to be a fortune in It. If
it's my wife that's in the way, take
her. I'm through with her."
"No, you cur! I'll tell you noth-
ing."
lie kicked Ravengar savagely and
went out again.
Leontine, having lost the pellets, as
she thought finally, In the waters of
the river, was in despair. Ravengar
was gone, the cloak was In Sebastian's
possession; never had her hopes
seemed at a lower ebb.
But one thing remained—the jour-
nal. With that she might happen up-
on some clue. She made her way
back to the laboratory.
Everything was Just as she left it.
Sebastian had not been there.
She hurried to the safe, knelt down
In front of it. nnd had speedily set
the combination. She took out the
journnl, which Ravengar had replaced
there before'his hurried exit.
Suddenly, as she began to read, she
became conscious that she was not
alone. She looked back. The room
was apparently empty.
Smotlieriug her fears, she read:
"To all whom It may be known:
"I, Joseph Dexter, scientist, have
discovered here on the ledge of Rav-
ngar two treasures. One Is of gold,
the other of far greater value. The
first I found—it is that of Sir Henry
Morgan, buccuneer; the second I have
made. Here in my dead hand—for I
am dying—It may be found. It Is three
black pellets. To the finder they mean
power beyond the wildest dream of
man. They are—"
,eontine started. This time she
knew her instinct had not deceived
her. She looked back—Into the face
of Sebastian.
"Give that to me," he said, advanc-
ing.
"You shall not have It!"
"Give it to me!"
She ran from him, but he followed
her, caught her at the door, and wrest-
ed the Journal from her hand, In spite
of her furious struggles.
She snatched It back and rushed
toward the safe, thrust It Inside, nnd
tried to slam the door. But the pon-
derous mass of steel moved slowly,
and Sebastian grasped the Journal
again. As Leontine tried once again
to grapple with him he flung her to
the floor.
Sebastian glanced about him. This
time he meaut to finish with Leontine.
The room was littered with opened
packing cases, stuffed with straw and
excelsior. The furniture was of the
mission style, all slats and slabs of
hard oak. Sebastian gathered chairs
and tables together in the middle of
the laboratory, heaping about them ex
celsior from the cases. He made a
pile of the stuff half as high as the
celling, carrying armful after armful
from the boxes.
Then he looked at Leontine. She
was regaining consciousness. Her lips
moved. Struck with a sudden curl
osity, Sebastian went toward her. She
uttered one word:
"Ravengar!"
Furiously he struck a match and ap-
plied it to the piled up straw and wood
shavings. The place was ablaze in an
instant.
Sebastian strode from the room
locked the door on the outside, and
put the key in his pocket. Wrapped
in his invisible mantle, he descended
the stairs.
Ravengar, lying bound within the
garage, hardly felt the savage kick
that Sebastian gave him. He wns not
thinking at all of Ills own danger, but
of Leontine. She must have witnessed
his mysterious disappearance at the
hospital; she would be searching for
him; she would go back to the labora-
tory and meet her husband there.
He must save her. And, as soon as
Sebastian had taken his departure, he
fought desperately to free himself
from his bonds. But It was In vain.
Suddenly he stopped struggling and
looked about him. Somehow there
must be a means of escape. He had
been in worse positions than this, and
had got out of them.
On one side of the room he per-
ceived two wires, evidently those of an
electric bell connected with the house
of the estate on which the garage
stood.
Ravengar began working his way,
wormlike, along the floor. He had to
use his back and body muscles as a
medium for self-propulslon. In time
he reached the wires, sore and dusty.
He raised his feet in the air, reclining
on his back upon the floor.
His feet, tied together, were thus f
actly opposite the two wires. With
about three Inches of freedom at the
ankles, Ravengar began to move them
up and down alternately, pressing back
the wires against the wooden beam be-
hind them. He worked in this way for
ten minutes.
Now an observer might have de-
tected what he was doing. He wTas
trying to rub off the protective cover-
ing of the wires. At last the strands
of copper wire were visible. Then,
with a last effort Ravengar pressed
his feet together, bringing the two
wires Into direct contact and making
a short circuit.
He kept them thus for perhaps
half a minute before falling bnck ex-
hausted. And a half-minute peal of
an electric bell would throw consterna-
tion or anger into the heart of the
most independent janitor or watchman
anywhere.
It worked in this case. Half a mile
distant Sebastian's chauffeur was seat-
ed beside his wife, smoking, when the
bell rang.
"Them boys have gotten Into the ga-
rage again!" exclaimed the good wom-
an. "I'd give 'em a taste of the stick,
Henry."
Henry put down his paper, thrust
on his cap, and sallied forth to wreak
Justice upon the youthful mulefaetors.
By the time he reached the garage
he was hot with indignation. There
was nobody below. He rushed up-
stairs, to encounter Ravengar lying
upon the floor, bound.
"What—!" he began.
"Your mistress is in danger," said
Ravengar. "I have been attacked and
bound here. Don't wait to ask any
questions, but unfasten me and get
the car at once."
The chauffeur took out his knife and
cut Ravengar's bonds, ltavengar strug-
gled painfully to his feet.
"Who—?" the chauffeur began.
"Get the car out. I'll take you
there," answered Ravengar.
They hurried down the stairs to-
gether. In a few minutes the car start-
ed. It whirled out of the estate and
began to thread the city streets.
"Go faster," cried ltavengar in the
chauffeur's ear. "Her life is in peril.
I'll give you five hundred dollars If we
are there in time to save her. And If
any cop tries to stop you, drive over
him 1"
Leontine awoke to find the labora-
tory filled with smoke. At first she
did not know where she was.
Then, in a flash, she remembered.
She was in Ravengar's workshop, and
Sebastian had come and seized the
precious Journal. But how long ago?
Dizzily she tried to find the door,
but the place was filled with whirl-
ing, choking smoke clouds, and In the
center was a broad tongue of flame,
already spreading along beneath the
celling, catching at the rafters, and
sending out a shower of sparks. Un-
der the window she heard excited
cries.
DEMAND FOD TANLAC
ALMOST INCREDIBLE
Big Laboratories at Dayton I'nable to Supply Enormous
Demand—Capacity Increased to Thirty Thousand Bot-
tles Daily — Dealers and Jobbers Glamoring for It —
llranch Plants to be Established Throughout United
States and Canada.
Leontine groped her way t« the win-
dow and looked out. A crowd was
gathering, watching the smoke cloudi
pouring forth. A cluster of men, see-
ing her. cried to her to wait, to stay
there, tint the engines were coming.
But Leontine did not understand
what they were saying. The window
was so high above the ground that
a leap would be to certain death. How-
ever, its position enabled her to re-
member where the door was. She
ran back through the room, skirting
the blazing fire, which was now ex-
tending shoots of flame In every direc-
tion. They licked at her dress hun-
grlly, but she won clear and found the
door.
It wns locked. Leontine tore at the
handle fruitlessly. She remembered
that she had not locked it behind her*
Th mi her husband had set the lire and
locked her in. to murder her.
Her anger at his vileness revived
her fainting body. She hammered at
the door, she flung her fists against It
with all her might. It was in vain.
She could no more open It than If It
had been made of steel.
In despair she sank down in front
of it. She could hnrdly breathe now,
and life seemed ebbing away. She
thought of Ravengar, of Jerry, and
the personalities of the two men
seemed to blend and intermingle in
her consciousness. Then she felt her-
self slipping out of life.
Suddenly she heard feet on the
stairs. Outside the vast crowd was
watching a mnn—Ravengar—who had
burst Into the back entrance and was
■staggering up the smoke-filled stair-
way.
He reached the laboratory door and
set his shouider ugalnst It. Once—
twice—at the third lunge the solid mass
splintered at the hinges and half
opened. A cloud of smoke shot through
with fiery streaks, rushed out. Through
It Ravengar dimly made out the con-
scious form of Leontine.
He reached across the ruins of the
door, picked her up In his arms, and
staggered down the stairway again.
The flames, released by the fall of the
door, and blown Inward by the draft
from the open window, seemed all
about him. They leaped at him like
living things, but he went on, shield-
ing Leontine In his arms, and carrying
her as If she were no heavier than a
child.
As the fire engines dashed up to
the front entrance and began playing
upon the flames, which threatened the
entire building, Ravengar made his
way out at the back, where the crowd
was smaller. Ho rushed with his
precious burden ncross the street and
entered the yard of the German worn- j
an whose son hnd found the pellets.
Give me some water!" he said
breathlessly.
Mr. Patrick McGuire came bustling
up, but Ravengar, not knowing him, |
impatiently ordered him away.
"Sure, it's the lady that promised me i
foive hundred dollars for risking me I
loife for her," he said.
The water was brought, and, per- ;
haps at the touch of this on her fore- j
head, perhaps at Pat McGuire's voice,
Leontine opened her eyes and smiled.
Then she stretched out her arms to
Ravengar. And he, overcome with hap-
piness, dropped on his knees beside
her.
She remembered; and there was no
need of further explanations. Their
happiness was too Intense. Each had
believed the other dead.
'Dearest!" whispered Leontine into
his ear.
"Sebastlap took the cloak and the
pellets," said Ravengar In a low voice.
'And he has the Journal, too," an- I
swered Leontine. "But what does that
matter when I have you?"
"You love me?" asked Ravengar in- !
credulously.
"Yes," she acknowledged. "Do you i
remember long ago when you sought
my love, and I told you that It was
Jerry's, my dead lover's, of years gone j
by? Since then I have come to feel :
that in some way I can love you with- I
out profaning that love I promised
Jerry to keep for him, dead or alive, !
forever. I have come to feel that it j
is what Jerry himself would wish, '
ould he but know—that I should love j
you. It Is as If some message had :
come to me from him In his grave, or I
rather In his heaven, telling me that j
In returning your love I do uo wrong." j
She paused and looked at lilni earn-
estly, then laid her hand upon his
arm.
Ravengar," she said, "once, when I
asked you your name, you told me that
you were my shielding shadow. Now :
tell me who you are, Ravengar, and
why you shield me so."
She hung breathlessly upon his an-
swer. Ravengar turned to her.
"Leontine," he said, "I will tell you
at last who I am. I am—"
Suddenly he ceased speaking. He
was looking toward a window of a
tenement house across the street. At
the window he had seen Sebastian,
staring at him, the invisible cloak con-
cealing all but the face. Sebastian
had seen them.
Leontine, watching him with won-
der, was surprised when Ravengar
suddenly released her and dashed at
full speed across the street.
(END OF THIRTEENTH EPISODE.)
4 4 fUST tell the people to have a little patience and we will soon be able
to supply the demand for Teniae."
This ^as the message recently flashed from the ofliecs of 0. F. Willis,
the Southern and Western distributor of Tanlac at Atlanta, Georgia.
The message was sent out in response to the urgent telegrams, letters
and long distance phone calls which have been pouring into his offices from
j the leading dealers and drug jobbers from all parts of the South and West,
complaining that the demand for Tanlac was greatly in excess of the
! supply.
I In a later statement Mr. Willis said
I "Tills condition was brought about
j not only by the enormous demand for
, Tmilac but by the congested condition
of the railroads.
| "When It seemed almost certain
| that the threateued nation-wide rail-
road strike would go Into effect wo
made arrangements to keep our prln
1 clpal distributors supplied by express.
Over one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars
was spent for express charges In a
j Rlngle day on Texas and Oklahoma
j orders alone.
Working at Top Speed.
| "Although the big Tanlac laborato-
I rles at Dayton, Ohio, have been run-
ning at top speed turning out their
full capacity of approximately twenty
live thousand bottles per day, wo have
been wholly unable to meet the de-
mand for Tanlac which has been ere-
ited during the past two years.
"In addition to the Dayton laborato-
ries with their enormous output the
Cooper Medicine Company Is now plan-
ning to establish branch plants In the
Central West, on the West coast and
in the Dominion of Canada, and unless
International complications mnke it
impossible for us to secure the numer-
ous Ingredients In the wny of roots,
herbs, barks, etc., many of which come
from remote parts of the globe, wo
will be able to tako caro of any futuro
demand."
The wonderful growth nnd develop-
ment of Tanlac has been the marvel of
tlio commercial world and tho amaz-
ing success achieved by the prepara-
tions seems almost Incredible.
What Dealers Say.
In only two years' time over seven
ami one-half million bottles have been
sold and the demand Is constantly In-
creasing. Although placed on the mar-
ket in Texas and Oklahoma but a few
months ago practically a third of a
million bottles have already been sold
and thousands have been unable to ob-
tain It on account of tho Inability of
tlie laboratory to supply it.
Dealers and Jobbers have been al-
most frantic because of their Inabil-
ity to fill the thousands of orders they
have been receiving and tho following
letters nnd telegrams from well known
firms gave ample evidence of the won-
derful growth and popularity of Tan-

As can readily be seen, It Is nothing
unusual for dealers to order a enr load
of Tanlac and have every bottle of It
sold before It arrives. In fact, many
of the Tanlac jobbers nnd distributors
Invariably order tho second and third
cars before the car en routo has time
to reach them.
What Is the answer to all this?
There is only one explanation, and that
Is very simple. The Inherent purity
and wholesomeness of the medicine
has confirmed It In the minds of the
people and made it a household word
throughout America.

Died of Premature Old Age!
How many times we hear of com-
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70
or 80 years of age. This fatal work Is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, It causes
auto-lntoxlcutlon. The more injuri-
ous the poisons passing thru the kid-
neys the quicker will those noble or-
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
It Is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to lighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink-
ing plenty of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than llthla
for It dissolves uric tftld as water does
sugar.
