District Criminals to
Be Sent to Atlanta

Until further orders all male prisoners
convicted in the District criminal
courts and sentenced to the penitentiary
will go to Atlanta, Ga, instead Of Fort
Jeavenworth, Kansas. Justice Ander-
son signed an order to this effect to-
day, at the request Of the Department
Of Justice. No change will be made
in the present arrangement of sending
the female convicts to Lansing, Kan.
1t is understood that an idea OF econ
omy in transportation enters into the
new plan as well as the fact that the
prison at Fort Leavenworth Is becom-
Ing crowded.
Heretofore, prisoners with sentences
over two years have gone to Fort
Leavenworth while short-termers went

pered exclamation of impatlence,. the
sound coming from the middle Of the
room.
Sparhawk cautiously raised himself
on one of his elbows and waited. The
soft creaking of the floor told that the
intruder was moving toward one of tho
windows. He \heard the shade rattle,
and again there came to his ears sec
ond exclamation of impatience.
A moment later the shade flew up,
and as the light of a full moon stream
ed into the room II revealed a woman
standing beside the window! She was
clad in a white evening dress of SHIN
mering silk, and jewels were cleaning
on her bosom.
With an abrupt movement, sparhawk
rose to a sitting posture, and, as he dill
SO. the bed creaked loudly under his
weight
Tne woman. hearing the sound, took
one step forward. then, reeling back
ward, uttered a half-stified shrek.
Sparhawk was conscious of the fact
that the moonlight was shining on his
face.

came succession Of sharp, quick, per-
etrating cries that were suggestive OF
the forest rather than OF anything one
strange sensation of creepiness came
over Sparha&k es he said:
There's nothing to get excited about.
| dare, say there is some mistake,
but"
He said no more. Again he heard
her voice. One sharp word in a lam
guage that was unknown to him was all
she uttered, but this reaching other ears
than his produced singular result.
Suddenly, as IL from the floor, a dark
figure rose before him, and, with a curl

ing him unawares. the newcomer seized
the engineer by the throat with a grip
which, sending his blood to his eyes,
almost forced them from their sockets
Had that deadly grip been held a few
seconds longer, Sparhawk would have
been unable to OFFER resistance, but he,
too; had a grip that was not to be de-
spised, and this closed around the wrists
of his assailant. Deeper and deeper the
knuckles Of his thumbs sank among
the sinews Of the man who had leaped
upon him, and weaker and weaker grew
the fingers that clutched his throat
At last his throat was free. His eyes
ceased to bulge from his head, and once
more he was able to distinguish objects
about him. Then there came to his ears
the low eager voice of an excited
woman:
