IThaw from the machine. The slayer of
Stanford White held tightly to a box of
cigars which he had seized when leaving

With absolute precision the immigra-
tion inspector took Thaw by the shoulder.
led him to the line, and pushed him over
the border into the State Of Vermont.
Then the deporting machine turned and
headed back for Coaticook
l Thaw stood for a moment half daZed.
He gazed inertly to the north, south.
east, and west, and then looked down at
the earth in an impersonal sort of way.
Gets in Eber's Car.
At this moment Eber's car drew up
beside him. Thaw's eyes lighted up.
May I ride with you" he asked.
Certainly, jump IN" replied Eber.
where do you wish to go?'
Thaw pulled himself together a bit,
and said TO the driver. Thomas Trihey:
Drive anywhere, anywhere to get
AWAY from this place"
Trihey drove to the Lakeside Inn, at
Averill, VT, five miles away. Thaw an
nounced his identity to II. G. Spalding.
proprietor, and was warmly greeted by
Mrs. Spalding. Mrs. Spalding got him a
bowl Of bread and milk, and then Thaw
announced that it would be necessary for
| him to telephone to his lawyers and
family in Montreal.
The telephone central however. told
him she could not locate the person
wanted.
Let's go on, then" said Thaw to Eber,
| and the two went out on the veranda.
There they found that their chauffeur.
Trihey, had fled, stating that he would
not risk arrest by plotting Thaw in the
| State. They managed to borrow Pro-
prietor Spalding's car, and soon set out
| again with Frank Cantin, a French
| Canadian, at the wheel.
Thaw ordered Cantin TO go east; ap-
parently he had not much idea where he
| wanted to go.
Back Into Canada.
Say" he remarked to the companion.
II think it would be a good idea to go
to Detroit. l think 1 can buy a ticket at
| Enrol, VT. l have only SO. but you might
| lend me the necessary amount
Eber promised to do this. and Cantin
was ordered to drive to Enrol.
The road swung back into the Do
| minion, and Thaw actually traversed six
| miles of Canadian soil before he finally
came to the line town of Canaan. where

New Hampshire. At Canaan he was
passed by the customs officers without
question, after he had given his correct
name.
Right here he made, the mistake that
! probably caused him to lose his liberty.
He decided that there were important
things upon which it was necessary that
he consult his attorneys, and he must call
them on the telephone.

telephone.
Again Tries 10 Phone.
Not succeeding in this. Thaw ordered
the chauffeur TO drive TO West Stewards
town, where he stopped at another hotel.
While waiting for a hoped-for long-dis-
tance message he strolled in the public
square. There was very little comment.
He was unable to get his attorneys from
Stewartstown, either. His constant tele-
phoning. however. made his movements
easy to trace.
Still driving toward Enrol. Canton
bowled his car along the Bishop Brook
Road. Thaw ordered the driver to halt III
front of the shingled home of AlvinAther-
ton. a farmer, and Eber opened the gate.
Mrs. Martha Atherton, a bent old
woman of seventy, answered their knock.
Il am II. X. Thaw." said the refugee.

Seven miles" replied the farmers
wife. IF you want lawyers that is fair
to middlin. I'd recommend Thomas F.
johnson. and maybe the firm of Drew,
Shurtleff, Morris & Oakes."
Thaw entered Mrs. Atherton's parlor
and talked to Attorney johnson. Merrill
Shurtled, Eric Oakes. and George F.
Morris over the telephone. He asked
johnson to notify his Montreal attorneys
Of his arrest. and then started out again
for Enrol.
sheriff Locates Thaw.
In the meantime Sheriff Drew had been
notified that Thaw was iniNew Hamp-
shire. By dint of much telephoning the
Sheriff located Thaw within a triangle
of seven miles. The Sheriff got three
automobiles. manning the first himself
with Bernard Jacobs. The second car
contained Walter Drew. the Sheriff's
cousin, and B. II. Kelsea. his deputy
In the third car were H. W. Holden and
L. W. Barker. In addition, a number of
private automobiles were enlisted in the
chase.
The three automobiles in charge of the
Sheriff converged upon the DixviIle
Notch, at a point where three roads
cross Walter Drew traced Thaw to Mrs.
Athertons.
BE We a friend of Mr.. Thaw?. asked
the old lady of Drew.
Drew reassured her. but Mrs Ather-
ton very Shrewdly directed him upon the
wrong road. suspecting that he was an
officer. Drew, however. followed Thaw's
car marks. At the cross roads leading
to DiXville Notch stood Sheriff Drew's
car.
While Walter Drew went up the Notch
road. the Sheriff took up Thaw's trail on
the road leading to Maine. At a turn
in the road. in a wild, sdenseIy under
brushed section, he came upon Thaw's
ca.
