man made full surrender. 1t was q

The hall was deserted. but a few
men loitered In the ONCE. Keith
recognized none of the faces, and did
not stop to make any Inquiries OF the
clerk. 1t was growing dark, the lights
already burning, and from the plash-
ing OF drops on the window, 1t must
be raining outside. Hawley would
surely have ended his call upon Miss
Maclaire long before this. and left the

Of that interview there could be little
doubt Providing the gambler pos

have small difficulty in convincing the
girl that she was indeed the one
sought Keith had probed sufficiently
into her mind to feel assured that her
inclination was to side with Hawley.
Under all the circumstances this was
natural enough, and he did not blame
her.
He glanced into the bar-room as he
passed. not in any anticipation, but
merely from the vigilance which be-
comes second nature upon the from
tier. Hawley stood leaning against
the bar, where he could see any one
passing through the hall. The eyes
OF the two men met, but the gambler
never moved, never changed his at

HAMMOND
LEADS IN CASES

That the business of the federal gov
eminent in Hammond is reaching pro-
portions that make it apparent that
Hammond is an important city is
hown by the following:
An examination of the bankruptcy
records OF the U. S. District Court in
Hammond shows that only fifteen cases
were filed during the year 1912 IS
against eighteen in 1911 and the same
number in 1910. OF the cases filed dur
ing the present year Hammond leads
with 6: Gary has 2; East Chicago 2.
Valparaiso 2; Indiana Harbor and
Hobart 1. The decrease in the number
of cases filed shows the general pros
perity of the Calumet region, and re-
duces the failures to almost nothing
when the great volume of business of
the district is taken into consideration.

Here's reproduction from Lyman H.
Howe's moving picture films which
shows one of the thrills of a structural
iron workers life in New York city
these days.
Building modern skyscrapers natur-
ally suggests the ambitious plans of
the ancients when they tried to build
the Tower of Babel to forbidden
heights. There Is, however, a vast Diff
ference between the. ancient and the
modern undertaking. 1t is the differ
ence between a great achievement and
an absolute failure. The ambitious of
the ancients were defeated by con
fusion of tongues whereas our mod
ern towers are reared ever higher and
higher because of unparalleled execu-
tive ability and efficiency. Every grid
err fits so exactly--to the minutest frac-
ton of an inch--into every other girder
that one might say that language is un-
necessary.
At heights that would daze the or
binary builder. the men who put the
giant frameworks together walk about
on the narrowest strips of iron with an
at home" feeling that is astounding
and which intensifies interest in the
reproduction of Lyman H. Howe's Trav-
theatre on Monday.
Floor upon floor is practically pushed
into the air with a rapidity and I'M
conscious daring that prove sensational
in the animated scenes
The Howe camera men who made the
films had many Interesting experiences
One of them had his apparatus
perched atop of a movable derrick on a
building that had reached its thfrtieth
floor. The photographer wanted to
show Broadway with its hurryfng
crowcrowds that looked like flies in the
distance and one of the ironworkers
/ who was being hoisted from the street.
II The picture taking mechanism was re-
II cording the scene when one of the steel
cables caught in the tripod, holding the
man on the chain in mid air for several
minutes until he could franctica1ly cry
to his fellows on the ground to reverse
the engines. The above illustration
shows one Of the trying moments.
