with some difficulty, slowly climbed
over the iron railing.
Hendricks smiled grimly when he saw
that the doctor was safe, and, passing
the guard, who was speechless with
amazement, ran through the crowded
car to DR.. Lampllin on the rear plat
form. ..s-. ...
Come with me-" he whispered, pant
ing from his hard run. "We must nab
him before we reach the next station
He'll be desperate, AMI we must cover
him with our guns. He must not escape
us. He is a regular devil!'
Just then the guard came up.
See here, what does this mean?" he
asked, sternly. Don't you know"
Detectives" whispered Hendricks.
Murderer on this train. Let us alone.
If you interfere''-as the guard seemed
to hesitate-'I'll have you slapped into
jail. Get out of the way. Come on, doc
tor. He is likely to be about the middle
of the train. He may have seen US get
on"
The train was now going at full speed.
They had passed into the fourth car
from the end, searching ON each side
for the fugitive, when they heard
startled cry from woman at a window
on the left.
"a man fell off" she cried, her face
pressed a~a:nst the glass. At once the
people in the car rushed over to the side
ha Wi
crowded that Hendricks could not get
to them. He ran out on the platform of
the car and looked back a tall, gray
haired man without hat stood on the
track, leaning against the iron railing.
He did not seem injured, for ne began to
walk easily along the narrow plank.
Presently, Just as the train was turning
curve, he lowered himself between the
cross-ties and vanished.
Hendricks turned to Lampkin.
''Beat!" he said, simply. "He is the
most reckless fellow / ever chased. |

back to where he descended"
BY this time the guards through the
entire train knew that Hendricks was

and made break for the door. |
thought something was wrong with the
fellow, so | tried to hold him back when
he started over the gate, but he slipped
through my hands like an eel. Before
knew what he was about he was swing
in down at the side of the ear, as white
as corpse, but smilin' all the time.
Then he came to a place where the
planks were wider between the two
railroads and let go. 1t knocked him
down, but he got up again" lab Il.
"Do YOU think it hurt him at alp"
asked Hendricks.
"Not bit in the world, sir; he's as
nimble as a cat" Then the guard slid
the doors open and began to call out
the next station. The train was slow

Lets be the first out" said the de-
tective, pressing past some men to the
door and drawing his friend by the
arm.
Reaching the street below, Hendricks
turned back towards the direction
whence they had come.

he said, as he started into brisk walk.
"Ali we can do now is to go back where
he let himself down from the railroad.

recommendation of the mayor, this arbitrary tax is to be in addition to the regular ad valorem tax levied. While not lawyer, as a plain every day citizen, this proposition at first sight strikes us as being double taxation, hence its liability to run up against legal snag.
 His Honor also recommends that a street tax of two dollars per annum be levied on each male resident Of the city between the ages Of Fl and 50 years, as special street tax." The mayor is treading on dangerous ground in this recommendation, as if such a tax should be levied, 1t would place hum on the tax paying list, position he has not occupied for several years.
 This proposition, though, is not a bad one, and the money thus col lected could certainly be expended to good advantage in improving the streets. The only suggestion tho JoURNAL-MNER has to offer to it il that the mayor be exempt from itI | provisions.
