THIRTEENTH INSTALLMENT
BRANDED AS A THIEF
Lamar In the midst of the sentence
reeled dizzily. He would have fallen;
but for June's restraining arm. He
collapsed into the nearest chair.
In a tew minutes he opened his eyes
and sat up straight still somewhat
weak and shaky but himself again. '
And then he noticed that June was
standing ahove him once more look-
ing down at his haggard face with all
her soul in her big eyes.
The sight of her brought back to
Max the purpose of his visit to the
Travis house that day a purpose that
his life-and-death grapple with "Smil-
ing Sam" Eagan had driven momen-
tarily from his mind.
He found it strangely hard to say to
June what he had come to say.
Taking hold of his faltering resolu-
tion. Max prepared to . get through
with the cruel ordeal as quickly as
possible.
He looked from Mrs. Travis to
Mary; then hesitatingly said:
"I I should very much like to speak
with Miss Travis alone for a few miu
His mouth open his eyes glazed
with horror his body frozen into move-

ardent love-avowal.
But sho found he w'as no longei
looking at her face. It was; her right
hand at which ho was staring with
such dumb fixedness. Her own gaze
dreamy with unspoken love fol
lowed tho direction cf his.
She looked down at her hand that
his cold fingers still grasped; And she
saw tho Red Circle.
With a wordless cry she shrank back
and tried with all her might to snatch
away the incriminating baud from his
clasp. But his grip on it was too
strong.
Slowly Lamar raised his head. And
now at last their eyes met.
"The the Red Circle!" he croaked.

Important."
Mrs Travis went through tr the
vera'nda. But ?.$ry lingered just cut-
side the library door and crouched
there tremblingly listening.
Lamar for an instant gazed half-
frowningly at the girl who awaited
tho ordeal.
"What's the use?" he blurted out in-
coherently "you can't know anything
about the Farwell theft or any of the
rest of the Red Circle crookedness. I
know you don't. And I won't insult
you by asking you. Besides ycu saved
my life. June dear!"
Still too weak to trust himself on his
feet he reached forward Impulsively
and caught her hand In his as she
stood startled before hirr.
June did not try to draw away the
hand he held prisoner. She found her-
self sinking to her knees beside La-
mar's chair. She no longer dared meet
the glow In his eyes lest she Iosh all
hold over her reserve and tell him of
her love.
"I love you!" Lamar was saying
over and over.' "I love you June my
sweetheart. Oh. I love you!"
The girl's heart was beating madly.
"He ioves me! He loves me! The
man I love loves me!"
She -could not stir she could not
speak. Kneeling there her breath
released for lack of evidence to hold
him.
The chief and Farwell were still
sitting in the former's office at head-
Peering cautiously around the edge ! telephone buzzed

coming quick and Irregularly she lis-
tened. "If you will try to care for me just
a little little bit" he was urging 'Til
spend my whole lifo trying to be
wfltthy of you; trying to make you
happy. June my darling tell me you
love me! Tell me "
His imploring words fell silent In
the very midst of a sentence. He had
started to raise her little whito hand
to his Hps. As he did so his eyes for
the first time left her face.
He glanced down lovingly at the un-
resisting hand he had lifted. .
And there on Its satiny surface
blazed and throbbed the hideous Red
Ofrcle!
the set look cn his faco soften to utter
wretchedness.
Then as his eyes fell on June's
crushed .figure the former love crept
back urbidden into tho man's visage.
And Mary drew a long breath -of re
lief. This man would not betray her
darling's secret
Inch by inch his hand crept out un-
til it rested on June's.
"Don't be unhappy little girl." hw
said very gently. "I am going tc
shield you. Because I love you dear.
Iv
His voice choked. June's hand stole
into his. At her appealing pressure
he. found words again.
"I want you to marry me my sweet-
heart" he went on. "Marry me and
we'll fight this curse together. Side
. by side with our love to help us we'll
win the victory over it"
"Max!" she cried a world ot grati-
tude apd longing in her sob-shaken
voice. "Max! You want me to be your
wife after after 1"
"Yes" he made answer very simply.
'"Will you marry me?'
She swayed toward him her tear
.stained face glorified hy the love that
shone from it. But before his arms
could close around her she started
back pulling her hand away from him.
"No dear" she said. "No. It can't
be. I"
"You don't Iovo me?"
"Love you?" she breathed. "Why
Max I didn't think there was anything
on earth so strong as this love of mine
for you. I do love you. You know I
do. I love you too much to be your
wlfo. I can't marry you with this
black taint on my life with this vile
Red Circle burning on my hand."
"But June!" he pleaded "we will
fight it together. Wo"
i "I must fight it alone" sho answered
with sad firmness. "And now I want to
g i lease; while I am still strong
enough to help you save yourself. Go
dear."
"No!" be denied doggedly.
"Best go Mr. Lamar" advised Mary
gliding forward Into the room and slip-
ring her arm around June's heaving
shoulders. "Best go now. Sho Is right.
She knows. And anyway you'll gain
nothing by staying. Give her time to
think."
Max looked from one woman to tho
ether in puzzled Irresolution. Then
"I will go" ho said briefly "but
I'm coming back. And I'm going to
keep on coming back until I get the
answer I want."
"Smiling Sam" Eagan opened one
eye. Then very cautiously he opened
the other.
Now with much difficulty he began
to collect his scattered wits.
Knocked out. Ho was taken to the
hospital. And now he sends word he
wants to see me. Says It's something
important about tho Red Circle case
I'll step over there and "
"Red Circle!" exclaimed Farwell
"That concerns me as much as anyone
in town. I'm going to tho hospital
with you if you don't mind." '
They found "Smiling Sam" Eagan
propped up among a heap of pillows In
his hospital cot.
"What did you want to see me
about?" asked the chief.
"What did I want?" echoed Eagan.
"Oh nothin' much. Only to tell you
who the Red Circle woman is. That's
all."
"If It's a joke" began Allen.
"A Joke?" Sam caught him up
viciously. "Oh it's a Joke all right-.
And it's on her. On Juno Travis."
"Juno Travis!" repeated Allen in-
credulous. "June Travis" cried Farwell in the
same breath "I knew it! I was sure
of it. But Lamar kept insisting she "
"Juno Travis" declared Sam speak-
ing slowly venomously. "Juno Travis
is tho Red Circlo woman."
"I don't believe you" said the chief
"Juno Travis Is the Red Circle wom-
an" doggedly insisted Sam "Do you
want me to tell you about it or don't
you?"
"Go ahead" assented Allen after a
quick glance at tho excited Farwell.
"I was 'hiding out' down at Surfton"
began Sam. "In a cave on tho edge of
tho beach. She was standing right
near tho cavo the other day and I saw
the circle on her hand. I "
"Your eyes fooled you." scoffed the
chief. "In tho glaro of sunlight the "
"My eyes didn't fool mo" reiterated
Sam. "I saw it I tell you. The same-
shaped mark that used to bo on 'Circle
Jim' Borden's hand. I'm givin' you
straight goods. Go and seo tho circle
on her hand If you don't believe me.
Yes and as I was watchln' It that day
I heard her nurse say tho girl was 'Cir-
cle Jim's daughter."
The chief- still partly unconvinced
turned again to Farwell.
' "The man's telling the truth!" ejacu-
lated Farwell. "It all fits In. She's
the Red Circlo woman I tell you. I
knew it all along. I'd have sworn to
It. But Lamar kept putting me off and
putting me off. Chief I'm going to tho-
Travis house. I'm going to have a
look at June Travis' hand for myself.
He stamped out of the ward Tho
chief reluctantly followed.
He paused only to order the waiting
policeman to remain on guard over
Eagan. Then ho hurried on catching
up with Farwell on the sidewalk In
I front of tho hospital.

AUSTIN March 29. In an official
report- submitted on the Paris fire
State Fire Marshal Wallace Inglish
says as to the origin of the conflag-
ration: "The; fire had its origin in a frame
warehouse situated in the southwest-
ern portion of the city and while the
department's data gathered to this
time would not warrant a positive
statement as to the cause ot the fire
it is reasonably certain that its. origin
will in the final summing up be trac-
ed to carelessness."
It is shown that the area covered
by the; burned districts was 264 acres
that 1;U0 buildings were destroyed
1051 Of which had combustible roofs
or 73 per cent of the total number ot
buildings cost; 90 per cent ot -the
buildings destroyed were of frame or
iron-clad construction. The total loss
is estimated at from $10000000 to
$14000000 and that the sound Insur-
ance in force will cover at least 50
per cent of the property loss sustain-

Explains Why
Coffee Hurts Many
Dr. W. A. Evans prominent Chicago physician who edits the "How
.To Keep Well" columns ot the Chicago Tribune said in that publica-
tion under date of March 7 1915:
"Coffee is a drug. Those who are addicted to its
use are drug addicts." "From the standpoint of
public hygiene the coffee question is worth while.
It is the most widespread form of drug addiction."
Some coffee drinkers go on for years without seeming harm but
with others the telltale effects of the drug caffeine in coffee show in
various ills and discomforts such as headache biliousness indigestion
nervousness sleeplessness and heart disturbance.
When the health of a coffee-drinker
begins to suffer it's high time to quit the
coffee.
