vinced there was something foreign
in the appearance of the men. The
next, he was less certain they we're
not American. A hawlllke sharpness
OF profile, however, inclined him more
strongly to the former belief. He had
seen recently, he thought, a face that
I'm such a light would resemble those
bending above him. AS he was striv-
ing to recall IT, and the circumstance
surrounding It, fourth scarf was
passed about his eyes and knotted
behind his head. The silken strip was
light in texture, but folded so many
times that he could not see the dim
NEST glimmer of light.
Britt focused his forces on the task
of ascertaining his whereabouts and
direction. One, two, three blocks the
brougham sped westward Britz knew
he was headed for the Hudson. Had
not his blndfolding convinced him his
life was not in peril. ne might have
thought his captors were hurryng
him to the river to make an end of
him. He continued counting the
blocks until. wheeling sharply to the

But It undoubtedly was unfastened,

Britz reckoned on the likelihood
that his fall from the carriage would

that his attempt at escape would
cause a commotion sure to result In
pect to get away unaided; he was
bound too securely for that. 1t was

Believe Dynamite Was Planted.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 23.--Con-
vinced that the charge made by the
striking textile workers that dyna-
mite was planted" here by private
detectives hired by the mill owners
who wanted to make good their
jobs is true, many leading residents
of Lawrence are demanding a search
Ing investigation. Some residents
believe that such arrests were un-
justified, Consequently, there was a
general impression that the strike
would soon be settled.
1t was argued that the big mill
owners could be brought into con-
ciliatory mood and would arbltrate.
The case of the six men and two
women, arrested i'm connection with
the seizure of dynamite, was post
poned until Friday a mass meeting
OF strikers on the common yesterday
afternoon voted unanimously against

company to treat with a committee

Britt breathed was mixed with a sub.
tie something that gradually stole his
senses and left him, though healthily
alive, an inert heap under the feet Of
his captors.
So potent, so gentle was the action
of that strange something that the
stoppage OF the carriage, the lifting
from its floor OF the inanimate detec-
tive, the carrying Of his limp form up

AMERICAN BLOOD SHED

Climax.

Washington, Oct 5.-In a gallant as

jackets yesterday drove the Nicarag-

don; and his forces from Coyotepe and
Barranca Hills near Masaya after 81
minutes OF fighting but in the action
four privates of the United States ma

were wounded.
The victory Of the Americans open
ed the way for the Nicaraguan gov

Masaya which they took from the rev.
olutionists, and the starving inhab-
itants were relieved.
Rebel losses were heavy. The gov
ernment forces lost 100 killed and 200
wounded. Gen. Zeledon, the rebel
leader, escaped but later was corner
ed and killed by a troop Of federal
cavalry. One thousand American ma
