ILL youth, and another advertiser declares that he wants only stylish young men, glancing disapprovingly at the well-made but old-fashioned garments worn by the transformed professor. Finally, after many fruitless endeavors, he obtains employment in the museum as a clerk in the department built up and conducted by himself. The salary, however, U but a small part of that which he received as Curator. Wishing to obtain some neces -ar • articles from his own rocm, he enters the chamber surreptiously and the landlady catches him, as she thinks, intruding upon the premises of the absent lodger. She demands the reason for his intrusion, and he finally confesses to her that he is -*one other than the late Professor Wise, who has been transformed by a magic liquor from an old man to his present appearance. She is astounded, but withal delighted. The landlady has recently come into an extensive fortune and has expressed a wish that she might become younger in order to enjoy the benefits of unlimited money. The professor has discouraged her, but when he exhibits the mysterious vial and explains to her that it contains additional quantities of the magic fluid, she frant.cally begs him to permit her to taste the contents and become youthful again. The experiences of Professor Wise in his transformed condition have been so fruitless and so bitter that he counsels her earnestly to refrain from making such an experiment. She insists and he finds it necessary t) eject her from the room. He believes that no good can come from the continued existence of the contents of the magic vial. So he pours the remainder of the contents into an open dish and sets fire to the liquid. It burns for a few seconds while the pungent fumes pervade the atmosphere. He is overcome and falls into an easy chair. Upon u wakening he finds himself returned to his previous condition. The landlady is overjoyed to find him again in his natural stage of life. He returns to the museum and takes up again his work as Curator after astonishing the director beyond words by his brief explanation. He states that he has been on a long journey in which he lost everything and eained nothing. The landlady gives him her hand in marriage and he thereby recuperates his lost fortune. THE SHERIFF'S REWARD (Nov. 17).— Rose Boland, a pretty young ranch owner, quarrels with her foreman because she dislikes his attentions. She discharges him from her employ, and her cowboys eject him from the ranch. The disgruntled foreman proceeds to join a band of cattle rustlers and engages with them in the looting of cattle. One day while Rose is making a tour of inspection on horseback, the rustlers, who have been lying in wait, make her a prisoner. They bind and gag her, and lock her up in an isolated cabin. The boys of the ranch go in search of her and notify the sheriff that she has disappeared. The sheriff has cast eyes at Rose in the past and is all eagerness to find her. Alone, he rides up to the deserted cabin, having trailed her by a handkerchief which she cleverly dropped in the pathway, as a clue. The rustlers wound him when he tries to make prisoners of them, and they escape temporarily. The cowboys ride up. release Rose, and she nurses the sheriff back to life and strength. The rustles are dealt with according to the traditions of western law. The sheriff gets his reward by making a prisoner of Rose's heart. THE BROKEN' "X" f Xov. I4*) .—Tradition still tells of the band of bank burglars who terrorized Marysville twenty years ago. It is supposed that they have been completely dispersed, but one dark night the Marysville bank vault is looted of an enormous sum in currency and the burelars escape. In the darkness three men, Phillip Elliott, mayor of a neighboring town. Ed. Stanley and "Bull" Ames enter the Marvsville hotel by wav of the fire escape and divide the bank loot. All are well known and no suspicion is attached to them. The local police find themselves unable to solve the mystery. Secret Service agents are called in and proceed cleverly to trace various clues. Stanley, who is a morphine fiend, is traced through a $1,000 bill, and the two other burglars are finally rounded up by the Secret Service agents. Stanley escapes the penalty of the law by accidentally taking an overdose of morphine. A former member of the old "X' zang revenges himself for past treachery upon Elliott and Ames by identifying them as the remains of that famous band of burglars— the "X" gang. They go to prison for long terms. THE MYSTERTOFS BLACK BOX (Xov. 20). — Bill, a lazy fellow employed in the shipping department of Fogg's wholesale house, is in love with Fogg's pretty daughter, Betty. Fog? is stingy with his wife and will not clothe her according to her station, although he is generous to Betty. Fogg catches Bill loafing on the job and fires him. While getting his pay envelope Fogg's stenographer stumbles and strikes her head aeainst a desk. Fogg picks her up and Bill, lunch-box in hand, makes an exclamation which leads Fogg to believe earnestly that Bill has taken a snapshot of the scene. Bill has a photograph of Betty and himself, who have iust been igarried secretly T£e pair
