I .ti el la is dumbfounded when she and
Dudley see her father coming from an
opium den. Luella and Dudley are cut off
from the lest of the party and imprlson-
.-.1 in a hallway behind an iron-bound
<rxir. Three Chinese rufllans approach the
imprisoned couple. A battle ensues. One
is knocked down. Giles begins tiring.
CHAPTER XVIII—Continued.
"There's one fellow there." I said.
"But it's the one 1 knocked down."
"Can't you see the others?" inquired
I.uella.
"No more in sight," said I, after a
bolder survey. "They've run away."
"Oh, I'm glad," said Luella. "I
should have seen them always if you
had killed them. Why did they at-
tack us?"
Before I could reply to Luella's ques-
tion, a tattoo was beaten upon the
door and a muffled shout came from
the other side. I stepped down from
the stair to listen.
"Are you hurt?" shouted Corson.
"What's the matter?"
"No damage," I returned. "I drove
them off."
Corson shouted some further words,
but they were lost in a sudden mur-
mur of voices and a scuffle of feet that
arose behind.
"Look out!" cried Luella peremptor-
ily. "Come back here!"
I have said that the passage opened
Into a little court, and at. the end a
lamp gave light to the court and the
passage.
As I turned I saw a confusion of
men pouring into the open space and
heading for the passage. They were
evidently Chinese, but in the gleam
of the lamp I was sure 1 saw the evil
face and snake-eyes of Tom Terrill.
He was wrapped in the Chinese
blouse, but I could not be mistaken.
Then with a chorus of yells there was
the crack of a pistol, and a bullet
struck the door close to my ear.
It was all done in an instant. Be-
fore the sound of the shot I dropped,
and then made a leap for the stair.
"Oh!" cried Luella anxiously; "were
you hit?"
"No, I'm all right," I said, "but it
■was a close shave. The gang means
mischief."
"Well, tell me something I can do,"
she said.
I gave her my small revolver.
"Hand that to me when I want it,"
I said. "If I'm killed, get up the stairs
and defend yourself with it. Don't Are
unless you have to. We are short of
ammunition." I had but three shots
in the large six-shooter.
"Are they coming?" asked Luella,
as the wild tumult of shouts stilled for
a moment and a single voice could be
heard.
I peered cautiously around the cor-
ner.
"There's a gentleman in a billycock
hat who's rather anxious to have them
lead the way," I said; "but. they seem
to prefer listening to fighting."
The gentleman whose voice wa3 for
war I discovered to be my snake-eyed
friend. He seemed to be having dif-
ficulty with the language, and was
eking out his Pidgin-English with pan-
tomime.
"There!" cried Luella with a start;
"what's that?"
A heavy blow shook the walls of the
building and sounded through the
passage.
"Good!" I said. "If our friends yon-
der are going to make trouble they
must do it at once. Corson's got an
ax, and the door will be down first
they know."
"Than Heaven!'' whispered Luella.
And then she began to tremble.
The blows followed fast upon each
other, but suddenly they were
drowned in a chorus of yells, and a
volley of revolver shots sent the bul-
lets spatting against the door.
"Look out, Miss Knapp." I said.
me, and crouch down if they get this
far."
The band was advancing with
frightful din. but was making more
noise than speed. Evidently It had lit-
tle heart for its job.
I looked Into the yelling mob for the
snake-eyed agent of Doddridge Knapp,
but could not single him out.
I dared wait no longer. Aiming at
the foremost I fired twice at the ad-
vancing assailants. There were
shouts and screams of pain in answer,
and the line hesitated. I gave them
the remaining cartridge, and, seizing
the smaller weapon from Luella, fired
as rapidly as I could pull the trigger.
The effect was instantaneous. With
a succession of howls and curses the
band broke and ran—all save one
man, who leaped swiftly forward with
a long knife in his hand.
It would have gone hard with me
If he had ever reached me, for he was
a large and powerful fellow, and my
last shot was gone. Hut in the dark
and smoky passage he stumbled over
the prostrate body of the first des-
perado whom I had been fortunate
enough to knock down, and fell sprawl-
ing at full length almost at my feet.
With one leap I was on his back,
and with a blow from the revolver 1
had quieted him, wrejiched the knife
from his hand and had the point rest-
ing on his neck.
Luella gave a scream.
"Oh!" she cried, "are you hurt?"
"No," I said lightly, "but I don't
think this gentleman is feeling very
luck that the young lady and I were
not killed. You, Wainwright, were- to
follow Tom Terrill. 1 saw Terrill Just
now in a gang of Chinese, and you
turn up on the other side of a barred
door."
Porter and Uarkhouse looked sheep-
ish enough, but Wainwright protested;
"I was following Terrill when he
gets into a gang of highbinders, and
go£8 into cnc of thosp rooms ov<?r
here a ways. 1 waits a while for him.
and then starts to look around a bit,
and first I knows I runs up against
Porter here hunting for an ax, and

I felt the warm clasp of her fingers
for a moment, and then with a flash of
her eyes that set my blood on fire she
was gone, and I was staggering down
Doddridge Knapp's steps in t tumult i
of emotions.
CHAPTER XIX.
A Deal in Stocke,
The wolf-face, seamed with littred
and anger, and hideous with evil pas- j
sions, that had glowered for a mo-
ment out of the smoky frame of the
Chinese den. was still haunting me as
I forced myself once more to return
to the office. Wednesday morning had
come, and I was due to meet Dodd-
ridge Knapp. But as 1 unlocked the
door, 1 took some comfort in the

"Well, just keep close to me for the
rest of the night and we'll say no more j reflection that 1 could hardly be more

about It. There's no great damage
done—nothing but a sore knuckle." 1
was feeling now the return effects of
my blow on the coolie's chin.
"I don't understand this, Mr. Wil-
ton," said Corson in confidential per-
plexity. "1 don't see why the haythen
were after yez."
"I saw—I saw Tom Terrill," said I,
stumbling over the name of Dodd-
ridge Knapp. I determined to keep
the incident of his appearance to my-
self.
"I don't see how he worked It," said
unwilling to meet the Wolf than
must be to meet me.
1 had scarcely settled myself in my
chair when 1 heard the key turn in
the lock. The door swung open, and
in walked Doddridge Knapp.
I had thought to find at least some
trace of the opium debauch through
which 1 had gained the clew to his
strange and contradictory acts. But
the face before me was a mask that
showed no sign of the experiences
through which he had passed. For
all that appeared, he might have em-
Corson with a shake of the head. I ployed the time since I had left here

Wett Prote«t Against Plea That the
Governor Had Not Sufficient Time
to Investigate—Injunction Sha1!
Stand During Continuance
GUTHRIE; Continuance in the case
of the state against the Prairie Oil
& Gas company was granted by Dis-
trict Judge A. H. Huston until July
27. when the parties, under the agree-
ment, will appear for trial.
Attorney General West, who recent-
ly secured a temporary injunction
against the Prairie company restrain-
ing further construction on the pipe
line after it had traversed Washing-
ton county from Caney, Kansas, ap-
peared for the state. George I. Ram- I
sey, of Muskogee, aud J. H. Burton!,
of this city, represented the Prairie,
i while O. T. Smith, law clerk in the
governor's office, appeared for Acting
; Governor Bellamy.
Mr. West protested against Mr.
Smith's plea that the case should be

alive?"
"They were trying to take us alive
at first, I think, but the bullets
whistled rather close for comfort."
"I was a little shaky myself, when
they plunked against the door,' said
Corson with a smile.
While Corson was attempting to ex-
plain to Mrs. Bowser the nature of the
blackmailing bands of the Chinese
criminal element, Luella said:
"Please get us out of this. I can t
stand it."
I had marveled at her calm amid the
abou
excited talk of thost
I hope."
"Nothing would please me better,"
I said cheerfully, my repugnance
melting away with the magnetism of
his presence. "Is the black flag up to-
day?"
He looked at me in surprise for an
Instant, and then growled, still in
good humor;
" 'No quarter' is the motto to-day."
And I listened closely as the King of
the Street gave his orders for the
morning.
"You understand now," he said at
the end of his orders, "that you are
to sell all the Crown Diamond that
the market will take, and buy all
the Omega that you can get below one
hundred."
"1 understand."
"We'll feed Decker about as big
a dose as he can swallow, I reckon,"
said the King of the Street, grimly.
"One thing," 1 said, "I'd like to
know if I'm the only one operating
for you."
The King of the Street drew his
bushy brows down over his eye.s and
scowled at me a moment.
"You're the only one in the big
board," he said at last. "There are
men in the other boards, you under-
stand."
I thought I understood, and sallied
forth for the battle. At Doddridge
Knapp's suggestion I arranged to do
my business through three brokers,
and added Lattimer and Hobart to
Wallbridge, and Bockstein and Epp-
n?r.
liockstein greeted me affably;
matter and rather ironically suggest-
ed that the governor had previously
declared his acquaintance with the
case.
The Importance of the agreement
between the Prairie and Mr, West re-
sulting in the continuance is that the
case shall remain status quo, that is,
the Injunction shall stand, the Prairie
shall not seek a writ of prohibition
or seek to have the case transferred
from Logan county.
This last point was considered of
special import by the attorney gener-
al and he expresed himself as being
pleased with the agreement.
E.idnce of the intense interest ta-
ken by the small oil producers was
the presence of Attorney J. J. Shea,
of Bartlesville, who represented a
number of well known independent
companies.
OUSTER SUIT BY WEST
The Attorney General Starts Action
Against Oil Company
GUTHRIE; Attorney General West
j in the district court of Logan county
I filed suit to compel the Prairie Oil
and Gas company to relinquish all its
j lease holdings and oil wells In the
I state and practically to abandon its
J business other than the actual trans-
I portation and refining of crude petro-
I leum. He asks that the surrender be
i made subject to regulations made in
court.
The petition charges the company
l with already having warranted the
j forfeiture of its corporate rights in
Oklahoma and demands that It be
"Velgome to de marget vonce more, ' forced to live up to its obligations in
jjt. •• j the transportation of oil and that it
well. He's likely to have a sore head
for a day or two."
"Come back here," said Luella in a
peremptory tone. "Those men may
come again and shoot you."
"1 don't think so," said I. "The
door is coming down. But, anyhow, I
can't leave our friend here. Lie still!
1 growled, giving the captive a gentle
prod in the neck with the point of his
knife to emphasize my desire to have
peace and quiet between us.
I heard him swear under his breath.
The words were foreign, but there
was no mistaking the sentiment be-
hind them.
"You aren't killing him, are you?"
inquired Luella anxiously
"Wilton," said Eppner, assisting his
partner in his high, dry voice, with 1
cold civility. His blue-black eyes re-
garded me as but a necessary part of
the machinery of commerce.
1 gave my orders briefly.
"Dot is a larch order," said Bock- j
stein dubiously.
"You don't have to take it," I was
about to retort, when Eppner's high-
pitched voice interrupted:
"It's all right. The customary mar-
gin is enough."
Wallbridge was more enthusiastic.
"You've come just in the nick of
time," said the stout little man, swab-
bing his bald head from force of
habit, though the morning was chill.
"The market has been drier than a
flsh-liorn and duller than a foggy
morning."
Lattimer and Hobart, after a polite
explanation of their rules in regard
to margins, and getting a certified
check, became obsequiously anxious
to do my bidding.
I distributed the business with such
judgment that I felt pretty sure our
plans could not in any way be ex-
posed, and took my place at the rail
in the board room.
be enjoined from "the unlawful own
lug. operating and producing of oil
along its said pipe lines and trans-
porting same over its said plpfi lines,
and that it be required to dispose of
said oil wells, oil lands, interests in
and titles thereto under such terms
and regulations as the court may pre-
scribe."
The suit is filed under two provi-
sions of the constitution enlarged
upon by subsequent laws. One pro-
vides that no public service corpora-
tion shall own any land except such
as is necessary for the conduct of its
business as a public sarvice corpora-
tion. The other provision prohibits
nubile service corporations from con-
ducting a business that brings it in
direct competition with a like busi-
ness conducted by its patrons. This
point also is covered by the Hepburn
act.
How many American women in
lonely homes to-day long for this
blessing to come into their lives, ana
to be able to utter these words, but
because of some organic derango-
ment this happiness is denied them.

VEGETABLE COMPOUND
Mrs. Maggie Gilmer, of West
Union, S. C.,writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
" I was greatly run-down in health
from a weakness peculiar to my sex,
when Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound was recommended to me. It
not only restored me to perfect health,
but to my delight I am a mother."
Mrs. Josephine Ilall,of Bardstown,
Ky., writes:
" I was a very great sufferer from
female troubles, and my physician failed
to help me. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound not only restored me
to perfect health, but I am now a proud
mother."

"We have seen enough sights for the
