WOMEN MAY AVOID OPERATIONS By taking Lydia E.

Are you willing to say that I stand in the way of a settlement?" Sinclair sat down and put his hands on the table. "No; your matter and mine is another affair.

All I want between you and me is fair and right." Whispering Smith's eyes were on the cards. "You've always had it." "Then keep away from her." "Don't tell me what to do." "Then don't tell me." "I'm not telling you. You will as you please; so will I. I left here because Marion asked me to. I am here now because I have been sent "Then Keep Away from Her!" here.

It is in tbe course of my business. I have my living to earn and my friends to protect. Don't dictate to me, because it would be of no use." "Well, you know now how to get into trouble." "Every one knows that; few know how to keep out." "You can't lay your finger on me at any turn of the road." "Not if you behave yourself." "And you can't bully me." "Surely not. No hard feelings, Murray. I came for a friendly talk, and if it's all tbe same to you I'll watch this wheel awhile and then go over to the Wickiup.

I leave first that's understood, I hope and if your pink eyed friend is waiting outside tell him there is nothing doing, will you, Mur ray? Who is the albino, by the way? You don't know him? I think I do. Fort City, if I remember. Well, goodnight, Murray." It was after 12 o'clock and the room had filled up. Roulette balls were dropping, and above the faro table the extra lights were on. The dealers, Iresh from supper, were putting things in order for the long trick.

At the Wickiup Whispering Smith found McCloud in the office signing letters. "I can do nothing with him," said Smith, drawing down a window shade before he seated hiniflf to detail his talk with Sinclair. "He wants a fight." McCloud put down his pen. "If I am the disturber it would be better for me to get out." "That would be hauling down the flag across the whole division. It it too late for that.

If he didn't center the fight on you he would center it somewhere else. The whole question is, who is. going to run this division, Sinclair and his gang or the company? and it is as easy to meet them on one point as another. 1 know of no way of making this kind of an affair pleasant.

(Continued) Sinclair for a moment was silent, and his answer made plain hia unwillingness to speak at all. "There never would have been a grievance If I'd been treated like a white man." His eyes burned sullenly.

'T'e been treated like a dog." "That is not it." "That is it," declared Sinclair, savagely, "and they'll find It's it." "Murray, I want to say only this only this to make things clear. Bucks feels that he's been treated worse than a dog." "Then let him put me back where I belong." "It's a little iate for that, Murray; a little late," said Smith, gently. "Shouldn't you rather take good money and get off the division? Mind you, I say good money, Murray and peace." Sinclair; answered without the slightest hesitation: "Not while that man McCloud is here." Whispering Smith smiled. "I've got no authority to kill McCloud." "There are plenty ot men in the mountains that don't need any." "But let's start fair" 'urged Whispering Smith, softly. He leaned forward with one finger extended in confidence.

"Don't let us have any misunderstanding on the start. Let McCloud alone. If he is killed now I'm peaking fair and open and making no threats, but I know how it will come put there will be nothing but killing here for six months. We will make Just that memorandum on McCloud. Now about the main question.

Every sensible man in the world wants omething." "1 know men that have been going a long time without what they wanted." Smith flushed and nodded. "You needn't have said that, but no matter. Every sensible man wants something, Murray. This is a big country. There's a World's Fair running somewhore all the time in it.

Why not travel a little? do you want?" "I want my job, or I want a new superintendent here." "Just exactly the two things, and, by heavens! the only two, I can't man age. Come once more and 1 11 meet you." "No!" Sinclair rose to his feet. "No damn your money! This is my home. The high country is my country; it's where my friends are." "It's filled with your friends; I know that. But don't put your trust in your friends.

They will stay by you know; but once in a long while there will be a false friend, Murray, one that will sell you remember that." "I stay." Whispering Smith looked up in admiration. "I know you're game. It Isn't necessary for me to say that to you. But think of the fight you are going into against this company. You can worry them; you've done it.

But a bronco might as well try to buck a locomotive as for one man or six or 600 to win out in the war you are playing." "I will look out for my friends; others" Sinclair hitched his belt and paused, but Whispering Smith, cutting and running the cards, gave no need. His eyes were fixed on tbe green cloth under his fingers. "Others repeated Sinclair. "Others?" echoed Whispering Smith, good naturedly. "May look out for themselves." "Of course, of course! Well, If this Is the end of it, I'm sorry." "You will be sorry if you mix in a quarrel that is none of yours." "Why, Murray, I never had a quarrel with a man in my life." "You' are pretty smooth, but you can't drive me out of this country.

I know how well you'd like to do it; and, take notice, there's one trail you can't cross even if you stay here. I suppose you understand that." Smith felt his heart leap. He sat in his chair turning the pack slowly, but with only one hand now; the other hand was free. Sinclair eyed him sidewise. Smith moistened bis lips and when he replied spoke slowly: "There is no need of dragging any allusion t( her into It For that matter, I told Bucks he should have sent any man but me.

If I'm in the way, Sin I n' ii I The great metropolitan succe3 Lupin" which had a record run in the Lyceum theatre, New j.York city, playing there for one jTvhole season, is being offered by the Poll Stock company this week. There is no other play of its character on the stage and this traveling of an altogether different and iunbeaten track is one of the main Reasons for the wonderful success it has attained. "Arsene Lupin" is the leading character in the piece jand about him tht whole action'! devolves. He is the most daring and original man in the whole world and a burglar. He makes burglary his amiseirent and jthe world's greatest hia game.

Lupin burglarizes for the iexcitement of it, for the love of a tussle with the greatest )f French jdetectives led by Gtierchard, whom he baffles for the first time in tne llatter's brilliant detective ca eer of ien years. Lupin advertises his plans in ad ivance, writing to the marked victim, jitelling him the hour he will be ipresent to burglarize the house and describing the articles that hs jltake! Then he comes, on time, gets lithe articles and is away wl.hou! ifcelng detected though detectives are jon guard at each place for hours jiefore and after his arrival departure. He causes mysterious iliappenings in homes, becomes nd jmitted to households as a iend, overturns the usual order of things, In the country home of Mon. Gour ney Martin. Lupin in one of his greatest and most effective disguises is a guest at the home and the talk turns to this marvelous man when strange things begin to happen in the room.

Sonia, th daughter is arranging for her marriage to a duke and soon after the opening of the act, the duke returns from a field close by where he fought a duel with his cousin, wounding him. The theft of a valuable painting is dis covered and the signature of Lupin appears in red ink where the paint ing was located. Lupin himself agrees to help in the search and gives supposedly valuable aid to Guerchard upon his arrival with his best detectives. LETTER RECEIVED. Later in the act a letter is re ceived from Lupin, notifying Mon.

Martin, that he will burglarize, his city home in Paris on a certain time and date and secure a valuable piece of art and a jewel there. Plans for his capture are being laid as the act ends. The burglary is com mitteed in the second act, along the lines laid down by Lupin in his note, and though the detectives are in the home and the house is surrounded, the artful burglar gets away safely. During the second and third acts other burglaries are committed by Lupin 1 and the chase for him is replete with excitement. In the final act he narrowly escapes capture and a while later he is trapped by the detectives.

While they are gloating over his capture after years of supremacy over the detectives, Lupin cooly and cleverly makes bis escape, getting away in tbe detective's automobile. An added feature be the famous Irish tenor. Jack Allman, mil art Imt TEeatl Written ineerlOjctsvS'O'cis Evening. 1 ADA. IT.
