CHAPTER xvll-c Continued.

SfIHF Ell Avn SOHAb'SSN
Then he noticed, with the keen,
trained ear of the motorist, that the
engines were not running as they had
done. Their song was not true, ana
with a new groan he knew that the
petrol also was nearly at an end.
The car began to slacken it's speed,
and Basil looked wildly round him,
gripping the lever OF the steering
wheel tightly with one hand as he
did so. Far away in the distance be.
hind he saw the little chrome square,
which meant the electric train which
was following them. To the left was
the Rhine, and he saw that a steam
pleasure yacht was waiting there, a
few hundred yards ahead, at a tiny
pier built out from the bridge.
To the right were lying fields OF
rye and barley, which went stretching
away to the foot of the hills.
Then, suddenly, the speed slack
ened and slackened and slackened.
The rude music OF the engines be-
came defined into a series of explo-
sions; declined from that, and sounded
like the slow ticking of a clock.
The car stopped.
The other motor was some six hun
dred yards ahead of them-a distant
red spot upon the white road.
They are now approaching the en-
virons of Bonn. AS their W car
stopped Basil saw, with a sudden up
lifting OF the heart, that the other
car was also slackening down.
1--WE are done,' he said to Michael
Grant, but the others are done, too.
1t has just happened splendidly. Now,
let us get out and run up to them,
knock out that German Johnnie, and
get hold of the little Duke"
ut is all in your hands" Michael
Grant replied. Marriott, | am not
feeling myself; I have been very
shaken up with this drive, but | think
4 can account for the man with the
yellow moustache."
For Fritz Won Ravenstein?" Basil
on!"
The car had come to rest.
Stiff and cramped rs they were they
descended. feeling shooting pains in
every limb, and began to run towards
the distant car, which was now abso-
lutely stationary.
Grant led the way with his great
stride. which was so celebrated in the
annals of sport. Marriott. who him
self was in perfect condition, followed
after a few yards distance.
The road rises a little here, and
for a few seconds the other car was
almost hidden from their eyes. Then
as they mounted the slight eminence,
both of them pulled up and stopped
short.
They pulled up and looked into each
others faces, and each saw that
every vestige of colour-even the red
ness which the skin had assumed dur
ing their wild rush from Cologne
had left the face Of the other.
This is what they saw.
The car had stopped indeed. but
from the tunnels of the pleasure yacht
which had been waiting at the little
pier thick black smoke vas pouring
and a tall man, carrying a little child
in his arms. had walked down the
frail wooden structure and was mount
ing a gangway on to the deck of the
yacht.
We're done. Grant," Marriott said
Were absolutely done!" and even as
ne spoke the siren of the boat gave
q loud. menacing boot; and as the
steamer glided ~ from the piel

BOYS AS SUSPECTS
SIX YOUTHS HELD By LOCAL Po-
 LICE.
Ysskea fress Schssi Rooms sheFtEy After Theft from Hardware Store is Discovered-
 No Charges.

Six small white boys. well connect ed in the city, were arrested yester- day. taken to police headquarters and entered as suspicious characters. At the time of ihe arrest the police be. lieved them connected with the rob- bery of the westcott Arms Company 'on Commerce Street, which occurred last week, followed by a second ent- rance a few nights later. The boys gre entered on the docket as Marvin Compton, Roy Dickerson, Clarence sherman, Charles Smith, Robert Ed wards and Homer Lunceford.
 In the two robberies, of the store property valued at s150 was removed. consisting of shotguns, rifles. pocket knives. dice. and such things as are dear to a small boys soul Some of the arrests were made at local schools and two of the boys were arrested at the passenger station, where 1t seemed they were planning to leave town.
 As the boys were searched at police headquarters, pocket knives. cart ridges and dice were extracted from their pockets, all of the goods being new. One of them went with a police- man to a vacant hall where box Of new knives and articles similar to those found in the boys pockets were found stored away.
 The case promises to be peculiar one. if the value of the stun taken from the store is s150 each boy may be liable for grand larceny, as there are six boys and s2s is the lowest hg- ure at which grand larceny Is placed. If one of them, or two. proves inno- cence. then 1t will assure. possibly. this charge against the others. There Is one loophole, however. that may help them. The law in Alabama does not consider a felony in cases where the supposed evil doer Is under years of age, and may disqualify the charge in cases where tho defendant is under 14. The boys in question all seem to be from. IF to 14 years old. and may get off light on this account.
 When questioned by the police they confessed to having enterea the store and robbed 1t.
 The friends of Marvin Compton, Roy Dickerson, Clarence sherman and Charles Smith made bond for the boys and they were released from custody. Robert Edwards and Homer Dnndford were stir at the police station last night.

It all came yesterday in lump-the biggest sale of hunters licenses made for the season in the oflce of Probate Judge Gaston. The purchasers were W. K. Devereux, Harry R. Edwards
 They purchased three nonresident hunters licenses, at $1b each. and their purchase did much to run up the re- cefpts from hunters licenses to prob- ably the largest of any single day of the season so far.
 H. K. Devereux Is known far and wide as horseman--a lover and breeder of horsehesh, and 1t Is his animals that take the ribbons and the cups and the purses in more than one race and beauty show.

 There's one inconvenient feature to this drug store-booze business. how ever, according to the Carmichael bill, alias etc, etc. For the drug store men must keep record of every alcoholic prescription filled. with the name of the recipient, and the amount, and all such discriminating evidence. This all goes to the Judge of Probate at the end of the month. in a report. and there, it being public property. the curious public can find out just which man buys a quart for the baby's croup. or for his liver or for any other of the simple Ills. But of course the public won't look, for, the prophets say. after a while the biggest part of the public will have It's various names in the Pro- bate office at the end of each month.
