"Tomasso!" exclaims Edwin, adding: "In God's name, where is my wife?" "Dlavolo, of course, you have come here to find her. At th-- fork of the Rastla road, I thought uie 'Lucchese' captured my mistress and myself and forced us to drive toward the east. Coming over the mountains, their language told me they were not 'Luch-chese- ,' but Corslcans, I would have told Marina, but when I got out to water the horses at the little fountain up. near Pletra, two of thera struck me insensible and I awoko and found myself here. Hut, Slgnore, I beg you to note one thing. Your true wife and my honored mistress believes she was rescued from the 'Lucchese' by Clprlano Danella, and she Is grateful to him. Get me to the light that I may aid you." The old Corslcan has faintly staggered np; a moment 'ater he Is pulled from the vault by ;1e strong hands of Anstruther and the detective. "This is old Tomasso Monaldl," says Edwin shortly, "who was supposed to be killed." "Holy smoke, the fellow who was believed dead and they vendettaed Barnes about!" "Yes." Dut Tomasso's words make them feej they have little time to lose. Besides, Emory Is always whispering with white lips: "This tower Is mined!" Together they go up the stairs, carefully examining every orifice In the building, but find them all loopholes too small to permit the exit of a man," and the masonry too solid to be broken through in any ordinary time, as the building Is bare of tools and weapons. "There Is nothing but to get out of the upper chamber," says Edwin, "I'm a sailor. With half a chance, a single vine, with even the assistance of our clothes torn Into lengths, I can scramble down. Some way I'll do It" They have reached the upper room. Anstruther has thrown off his coat and vest, kicked off his shoes and taken off his stockings. Toes will cling to the rough stonework better than boots. He picks up the letter and the concluding sentences seem to make him crazy. He springs to the winlow and a muttered oath parts his white lips, for he encounters a grillage of heavy Iron so securely fastened on the outside that it is impossible for him to make exit But even as Edwin struggles with the grating, he utters a low cry, half of longing, half of despair. Upon the portico of the modern portion of the farmhouse, pleasant with vines and flowers, almost reclining In a hammock Is Marina. Robed In white, the young wife looks like a dream of love to her despairing husband. Her face Is flushed, If not happily, at least excitedly. To her, speakingthe distance Is too great for Edwin to understand the words, but apparently from the gestures they are those of amity is Count Clprlano Danella, his eyes sparkling vivaciously, his costume the romantic one of Corsica.

"Oh. bang It, what have they done to you, smarty? growls the detective angrily. Then he cries: "Glory hallelujah! Bully for you'" for Edwin has run down the ladder and Is busy trying to unloosen the Irons from the American's legs. "They've got keys somewhere," snarls Emory. "Hang It, think of their cheek, manacling a detective." EM win Is up the ladder agatn. He strikes another match and on the ground story finds, after some little delay, a bunch of keys hanging on the wall. After some trouble with the locks, which are rusty, Elijah's legs are released and he ascends with Edwin, his Jaws almost snapping with rage as he tells his wrongs. "I was playing the fisherman at St Tropes," he says. "I had got onto them, all right I knew the head devil, the elder man, Clprlano, when, like a foot, I went on board of that big, cursed fishing felucca to them, pretending to want to get a Job, thinking 1 would find out what the devil they were driving at. That was the end of me. I hadn't more than got in the forecastle than I was covered with two fellong knives, and that rear-facelow said to me: The first time, you were warned to keep out of this affair. This Is the second time' They were savage enough to kill me, but they situ ply corded me up and threw me in the bold, and oh, what a time I had as their lufernal vessel dashed about the Mediterranean after you. When they gave up chasing you they stopped here and put uto away carefully In that hole down there." Suddenly he cries: "What are you doing?" for Edwin has his hands In an Irrm ring and is trying to pull up another trap door In the flooring. "I want tools by which we can break enough masonry from one of these embrasures to got out!" says the sailor. Out pulling up the trap door, both ho and the American gaze astounded Into tho other vault. Two red flaming eyes encounter theirs. "If you come to kill mo, I'll die like a Corslcan! my tenth In your tti rout!" cries a low, hoarse voice. d " A , It Is now quite late In the afternoon Burton soon passes the chestnut lands of La Castagnicela, still finding a few faded cyclamen blooms to guide him on his way.

This branch, which I supposed Marina dropped out of the carriage yesterday, wai certainly cut this very morning," Suspicion flashes through him as h questions'. "Can these flowers have been strewn in the road by Clprlano't agents to lead someone on?" and what had been no warning to the sailor becomes a (lunger signal to the man of the world. Yet, twist It how he will, Barnes can see no reason why Danella should want anyone near him save Marina. If the Corslci.n's passion for tout young lady is what he thinks It Is, he will prefer a free hand to deal with her alone. "And yet it is evident somebody wanted somebody to follow this cyclamen trail, and whether somebody wants It or not, I am here anyway," thinks the American grimly. "And thanks to the divine Orezza water, I am rather fit for fighting." Then carefully examining bis revolver, the pistol shot remarks: "And that's fit also, - easy-goin- , thank g Will "By Jove," he remarks, "I gave Edwin the right path.

With this, resolutely but more circumspectly, Mr. Barnes continues his way over the path marked by the cyclamen branches. By the time be has come out on the hills looking down toward the Tuscan sea, It Is very dark. There Is no moon yet but the light from the lone watch tower attracts him. The cyclamen flowers he occasionally picks up make him know this Is the road Anstruther must have traveled. Suddenly, but quietly, he turns his horse from the path, and In the seclusion of a thicket of wild grapes, listens. Some dozen men are coming from the east; he hears one of them growl: "Why, there's no 'Lucchese1 nearer than Pletra to fight, though tha count ordered every man about tha farm to go out and protect the vines from them." "Well, there's some good reason for Maestro Clprlano's orders. Perchance the Italian laborers In the Green Orezza quarry have risen up," adds another. "Perhaps with the lady he wishes not to be disturbed." giggles a third. "The count has musicians In a boat oft the shore." The men have no sooner passed than Barnes starts quickly down the road. The "lady." he guesses, means either Marina or his own bride, though of the last he has slight hope. A subdued light from the town guides him in the darkness. But when he Is within less than a hundred yards of the building, his horse, with a sudden snort or terror, draws up right in the path, crouching on his haunches, and Barnes peering over his steed's head, gazes Into tha deep chasm that descends sheer to th very sea. Springing from his' trembling horse, the American finds that the bridge, which Is a light, swinging CHAPTER XVII. one not over 35 feet In length, has Whiffs in the Air. Some time after midday, Mr. Barnes, been swung to the other side. The scent of a fresh cyclamen bloom in pursuit of Anstruther, reaches enters his nostrils.

BURN OUT THE BUDDING HORNS will cause It to run down over the face. This must be carefully avoided. All of the preparations which have been used to prevent horns from growing on young animals hare been composed largely of one or the other of the caustics above mentioned. In view of the fact that these substances alone, without the admixture of others, answer the purpose satisfactorily, it would hardly seem to be necessary to give the following formula, but as It was used with good results when much was being written In regard to dehorning compounds. It has been thought best to Insert It here, chiefly to prevent the necessity for any further Inquiry on the part of those who may have used It and are no longer In possession of It The forniu la was published in the eighth and ninth annual reports of the bureau of animal Industry for 1891 and 1892. and the preparation was at that time quite largely used. It was made by combining In an emulsion 50 per cent of caustic soda, 25 per cent, of kerosene, and 23 per cent, of water. The caustic soda Is dissolved In the water and heated to the boiling point, then removed from the fire, and the kero sene added gradually, while vigorously stirring the mixture. This emulsion Is applied In very much the same manner as the stick caustic, except that It Is necessary to employ a short, stiff brush, or meat skewer, using the large end, which has been previously mashed or contused to torm a stubby brush. Two or three applications should be made to each horn button, as In the case of the stick caustic, with Intervals to allow It to dry. When a calf Is three or four weeks old the caustics or caustic prepara tions are of little or no use. The horns on young animals of this age can be removed by one cut of a good sharp pocket knife, but when the treatment Is delayed to this ago thors Is considerable hemorrhage as a result of cutting the starting horns, which can be entirely avoided If tht animals aro treated with one of tha caustics at (he curlier ago above indicated. In the very young calf tho horn button, or point that will ultimately develop Into a horn, has scarcely any attachment to the skull, and may be felt as a small button embedded in tin ' akin. How One Can Prevent the Horna Growing on Younz Calve. When circumstances are favorable, as In the case of farmers who build up their herds by raising the progeny, the horns may be prevented from growing by a simple and practically painless method, aud the custom of preventing the growth of the horns rather than deferring the matter with the necessity of removing them from the grown' animal Is becoming more popular and more generally practiced under all conditions except In the case of calves dropped on the open range. To do this successfully It Is necessary that the calf should be treated not later than one week after Its birth, preferably when It Is from three to five days old. The agent to be used tnay be either caustic soda of caustic potash, both of which may be procured In the drug stores In the form of sticks about the thickness of an ordinary lead pencil and Ave Inches long. These caustics must bo handled with care, as they dissolve the cuticle and may make the hands or flngera sore. The preparation of the calf consists In first clipping the hair from the parts, washing clean with soap and warm water, and thoroughly drying with a cloth or towel. The stick of caustic should be wrapped In a piece of pnper to protect tho hands and fingers, leaving one end of the slick uncovered. Moisten the uncovered end slightly and rub It on the horn buttons or little points which muy be felt on the calf's head, first on one and then the other, alternately, two or three times on each, allowing the caustic to dry after each application. Be very careful to apply the caustic to the horn button only. If It U brought In contact with the surrounding skin It wtll cause pain.
