CHAPTER XIX
Tha Viscount and the Persian
Raoul now remembered that his
brother had once shown him that mys-
terious person ol whom nothing who
known exi ept that he was a Persian
and that he lived In a little old-
fashioned Hat In the Hue do Klvoll
The man with the ebony skin (be
eyes of jade ami t lie astrakhan cap
bent over Raoul
"I hope M de Chagny” he said
“that you have not betrayed Erik’s
octet?"
"And why should I hesitate to be-
tray that monster sir?" Raoul re-
joined haughtily trying to shake on
the lutrudor "is he your friend by
any chance?"
"I hope that you said nothing about
Erik sir because Erik’s secret Is also
Christine Ifaae’s and to talk about
one Is to talk about the other!”
"Oh sir" said Raoul becoming
more ami more Impatient “you seem
to know about many things that In-
terest me and yet I have no time to
lluteu to you!”
"Once more M de Chagny where
are you going so fast?”
"Cannot you guess? To Christine
Daao’s assistance "
"Then sir stay beret f or Christine
Daao Is here I"
“With Erik?"
"With Erik”
“IIow do you know?”
“I was at the performance and no
one In the world but Erik could con-
trive an abduction like that!
Oh” he said with a deep sigh “I
teeognlzed tho monster’s touch!”
’’You know him then?”
The Persian did not reply but
heaved a fresh sigh
"Sir” said Raoul “I do not know
what your intentions are but can you
do anything to help me? I mean to
help Christine Daae?"
"I think so M de Chagny and that
U why I Bpoke to you”
"What can you do?"
"Try to take you to her
and to him”
"If you can do me that service sir
my life Is yours! One word
more: the commissary of police tells
me that Christine Daae has been car-
ried off by my brother Count Phi-
lippe" "Oh M de Chagny I don’t believe
a word of It"
“It’s not possible Is It?"
"I don’t know If It Is possible or
not but there are ways and wayB of
carrying people off and M le Comte
Philippe has never so far as 1 know
had anything to do with witchcraft"
"Your arguments are convincing
sir and I um a fool! Oh let
ue uiuke haste! I place myself en-
tirely In your hands! How
should I not believe you when you
are the only one to believe me
when you are the only one not to
smile when Erik’s name is men-
tioned?" And the young man impetuously
seized the Persian’s hands They
were Ice-cold
"Silence!" said the Persian stop-
ping and listening to the distant
sounds of the theater "We must not
mention that name here Let us say
’be' and ’him’ tben there will be less
danger of attracting his attention”
“Do you think he Is near us?”
"It is quite possible sir If be Is
not at tills moment with bis victim
In the bouse on the lake”
"Ah so you know that house too?"
"If he Is not there he may be
here In tbls wall In tills floor In
this celling! Come!”
And the Persian asking Raoul to
deaden tbe sound of Ills footsteps led
him down passages which Raoul had
never seen before even at the time
when Christine used to take him for
walks through that labyrinth
"If only Darius has come!" said the
Persian
"Who Is Darius?”
"Darius? My servant”
They were now In the center of a
real deserted square an Immense
apartment Ill-lit by a small-lump Tbo
Persian stopped Raoul and la tbe
softest of whispers asked:
"What did you say to the commis-
sary?" “I said that Christine Dnue's ab-
ductor was tbe Angel of Music alias
tbo opera ghost und that the real
name was "
“Hush! And did bo be-
lieve you?"
"No"
"He attached no Importance to
what you said?"
"No"
"He took you for a bit of a mad-
man?” "Yes”
"So much tbe better!” sighed tbe
Persian
And they continued their road
After going up and down several
staircases which Raoul had Hover
traveling cap the Persian his cap of the comhined cjass Velma Lane

LATIMER COMNTY FARMER
Dreams of Being on the Barth a
Second Time
The Latimer County Farmer
came to town last Saturday with
a limp in his off leg and a look of
sadness on his face After ma-
king his usual purchase of snuff
and baking powders he made his
way painfully towards the court
house He looked carefully thro
the various offices inquiring in
a very solicitous manner after
the health of each officer After
satisfying himself that all were
enjoying a reasonable degree of
health and that the salary fund
was still in working order he
passed out into the corridor took
a drink of hydrant water and
seated himself on the back steps
so the perfume from the alley
would take the tase out of his
mouth While engaged in inhal-
ing the odiferous breeze Dad
Neal passed by and after their
usual warm greeting the Farmer
heaved a sigh that started sev-
oral buttons from their founda-
tions and said: “Well Dad! I
had a dream last nile that heats
’em all You see I has been a
readin about a class of people
who believe that the spirit of
man returns to this world after
death and lives another life eitli-
ler in the form of man or beast
I don’t believe any such thing
but I had a dream that I was
living in A D 2012 and that I
was a thoroughbred Irishman
with a brogue as broad as Mike
Hunt and they called me Rosen-
taft Bryanchamper Flying
machines was as numerous as
wagons is now and all the travel
was in them I thought we was
on a trip to Mars the Moon and
several other planets While
gliding around over Mars and
admiring its handsome houses
and beautiful scenery w had
occasion to call on Phythagares
sage of the solar system He
took me into his gorgeous private
room and said: “Are you aware
that you lived on earth once be-
fore that you was known as the
Latimer County Farmer and
that you associated with Repub-
licans as much as with civilized
citizens?” I confessed my sur-
prise and then Pythageras went
on to tell me how some of the
spirits of my old time friends
had come back to earth in vari-
ous forms and personages and
were familiar to me under new
names as follows:
Aunt Susan Solvester the lit-
tle old woman with a wart on
her chin and a son in the U S
Senat was formerly Mike Hunt
Moses Cohagen king of the
Arkansaw airship peddlers was
formerly D L Wood
Major General Pyrologist con-
quer of four planets was form-
erly Prof O’Malley
Quadricorn Cassowary Presi-
dent of the United States was
formerly Lon Lovelace
Miss Josephine Roxy queen of
singers was formerly John T
Dial
Grandma Moonmars the for-
tune teller was formerly Ah
Malone
Aunt Hotsuppcr who became
famous for writing a book enti-
tled “The Pantaloonskirt am!
Merry Widow Hat or How Wo-
men Dressed A Hundred Years
Ago” was formerly Judge Peery
Aunt Katy Lathpuncheon the
washerwoman who talks her
washings dry was formerly L
G Hysmith
Gogetem Gotrocks the richest
man in Oklahma was formerly
Charley Hudson
Rev Alfred Allbutcher the
Evangelist who invented the
electrical purse shaking contri-
bution box was formerly Dr E
Reynolds
Hon Bryanalsoran who be-
came famous and wealthy by
discovering painless toothache
and how to pay taxes without
money was formerly Jack Cutt-
ler I inquired about some of the
other fellow who infested the
court house and after refering
to a book about the size of a
folding bed a sad look come over
his face and he said: "The rec-
ords show that in the year 1912
there was a great political up-
rising and a great number were’
not permitted to pertake of the
second life They are over there
he said pointing southward to a
vapor ascending heavenward
Each age of our lives lias ils
joys Old people should he
happy and they will he if Cham-
berlain's Tablets are taken to
strengthen the digestion and
keep the bowels regular These
tablets are mild and gentle in
