 A few days later Michael Kearney registered at the Mansion House Greenville's best hotel. as James | Flynn.
 In his room he uupacked his grip Among other things he removed was long and wide envelope. It contained letter from his inspector authorizing him to request any aid be might need in the name of the police of the city of New York
 The big envelope also contained certified copy of the police records of James Montgomery. convicted of the murder of Walter TruehloOd night watchman Of the West End National bank. These records included photo graphs in full face and profile and the Bertillon measurements and finger prints. There was aeo a warrant drawn by New York magistrate, charging James Montgomery with being a fugitive from justice and an escaped convict.

 Kearney left the hotel to look over the city. He coursed its two or three business streets much as a hunting dog would range fin it's preliminary run over a field.
 He had not forgotten the testimony of Montgomery that he was an appren- tice machnist. and he remembered the story of the boys anxiety for his kit of tools. He drifted among the men who handled the machinery of the cot ton mills with a story that he wanted to start up a small foundry with a partner who was an expert All the while his keen little eyes studied close ly the face of every man he met
 After several days of preliminary scouting he visited the office of the United States district attorney for the Greenville district He explained his mission and showed his credentials.

To Vanish Flies
(To he c n'inusd.(

Flies dislike the fragrance of mig
nonette and will be scarce in a room
with this plant in 1t.
A cheap and reliable fly poison,
which is not dangerous to human
life, is bichromate of potash in solu-
tion. Dissolve one dram, which may
be brought at any drug store, in two
ounces of water, add little sugar,
and place about the house in shallow
dishes.
To clear rooms of flies use carbol-
ic acid, heating shovel and pouring
on 1t twenty drops of the poison. The
vapor will kill the flies.
Another method: Burn pyreth-
rum powder In the room. The flies
will fall to the floor supplied and
may be swept up and burned. The
powder should be moistened and
nodded into cones, and after drying
each cone should be placed upon o
dish and lighted at the top. It will
burn slowly, and the odor is not dis
agreeable.

Hollow Noises That Came from Some
where.
Interesting acoustic phenomena
called, in Italy, "brontidi," have been
investigated by Prof. T. Alippi. of the
meteorological and seismical observa-
tory of Urtino, Italy. These brontidi
are mostly hollow noises, resembling
the echo of distant explosion, and
are usually observed with a bright
sky and calm air, occurring rather
seldom in windy or rainy weather.
They usually occur in the afternoon.
both in winter and summer. These
noises would seem to be of atmos-
pheric origin. They do not produce
any physiological effects of their own,
nor do they seem to be connected with
local earthquakes, though they some
times cause window panes to vibrate.
They are nearly everywhere consid-
cred as presages of bad weather, and
are popularly supposed to be due to
strong tides or storms at sea, whose
echoes are transmitted to a distance.
Prof. Alippi has obtained his results
by means Of circular letter to which
217 observers have replied and I35
of whom had noticed the sounds. The
observers in question were distributed
throughout the whole of Italy and ita
African colonies.
These noises do not appear to be
due to artificial causes such as mine
explosions or gun shots, as they most
ly occur In central mountain regions.

In some populated valleys where

Is never noticed. The author is not
inclined either to ascribe this phen-
omenon to natural causes, such as
winds, while the hypothesis some
times suggested of thunderbolts un-
der the horizon cannot be maintained
either, owing to the equal distribu-
tion of brontidi over summer and
winter.
There may be some connection be-
tween certain brontidi and seismical
phenomena, while another class of
brontidi may be connected with mete-
geological phenomena; and in order
fully to elucidate this question, the
observations will be continued from
the Italian Central Meteorological
and Geodynamical Office, which in
tends to send out more inquiry forms.

"You can't be serious!" Harcourt
pleaded. Think of my promise to

his lip and ended abruptly.
Cornish smiled "If you go on talk

Speechless, Harcourt gazed at the
man, and read the determination in
his face. He felt powerless as baby,
and the fact made him furious. Yet
he realized that he could not hope to
change Cornish's mind.

CHAPTER XII.
A VISIT TO MacBEE.

BY noon Sir Harry Farndale had
finished luxurious tub in his Lon.
don lodgings and was just setting
down to a long delayed breakfast,
when Darlington arrived
The mudcoated automobile-taken
on long detour by Cornish's chauf-
feur-had rolled into the garage at
Harcourt Manor only half an hour be-
fore, and Farndale had just been adj
vised of the fact by telephone. He
had spoken with Sir Thomas and
learned that his daughter, although
confined to her bed, was resting quiet
ly and during the conversation, had
also been advised of the departure of
Darlington for the city.
Now Darlington was eager for news,
and briefly, Sir Harry told him all
that had occurred. ITO cover our
tracks and to avoid suspicion, l su :
gest we take a cab to Scotland Yard
and report ourselves to MacBee,
pleading ignorance of Harcourt's
whereabouts and expressing surprise
that he is not also there" Farndale
said.
"Right-oh!" Darlington agreed.
There is hardly chance that they'll
know we didn't come in last night in
Cornish's car-just as we tell them.
OF course none of the Manor servants
except Fergus know what happened,
and we can rely upon him absolutely"
Sir Harry nodded over his coffee.
Il to- 4,

anxiously.

mo reason for anyone being suspi-
cious of her, and the alarm couldn't
have spread in time anyway"
81 hope not" Darlington said. "Cor.
nish might even deceive them if he
should be overhauled."
He'd never submit to a search of
the yacht" Farndale asserted. "If a.
lookout has been set for him-which |
doubt-he will simply cruise about
trying to avoid discovery until the
opportunity to land Harcourt arrives"
Surely he won't try that!" CARING
take such a risk now"
"On the contrary" Farndale assured
him, "it is the safest and best plan
of all if the landing can be made un-
observed, and the yacht then slips
away quietly without him. Rather
than risk Harcourt being found on
board, Cornish may bring him ashore

the yacht run for it. If MacBee gets
suspicious, it is better that he be led
to believe that Harcourt is aboard the
Murita, when he is really in England.
In that event he will be safest right
here, while the police, having search
ed the yacht without finding him, will
be more puzzled than ever"
"But where the devil can we hide

THAT is the question" Farndale re.
piled. IF they are forced to land.

"And his daughter is simply mag.

enthusiasm.
Sir Harry smiled knowingly. "she

night" he said. Her ruse worked
splendidly. Fortunately the man Mac.

THE KIDNAPPED PRISONER.

Dawn was just breaking as the mud
despatched automobile neared Lhe
little landing on the coast just beyond
the city. Cornish had given instruc-
uons to the captain of the Murita to
have his launch there, and nov the
American leaned forward to ask the
chauffeur if the boat was in sight.
It was, moored loosely to the dock.
its engines ready to be off in an in
slant.
Drawing up at the edge of the
planking, the big machine stopped
and Cornish sprang out with little
grunt of relief. AS he did so three
men from the launch hurried forward
with great tarpaulin.
Adele slipped from the car and with
out word ran down the wharf to the
launch, while the men hastily wrapped
Harcourt in the rubber blanket and
carried him aboard unceremoniously.
Turning to Farndale, Cornish grasp
ed his hand warmly. "Sir Harry,
you're brick!" he exclaimed enthu-
siastically. II leave it to your in
genuity to get back <ndetected and to
cover up the real movements of the
car. Good-bye-and good luck!"
Then he stepped into the launch.
and the little craft shot out rapidly
over the water to where the yacht lay
all ready to weigh anchor. The day
was coming fast now and there was
no time. to be lost. Cornish's instruc-
tions to the captain had been most
explicit. The Murita had cruised off
Southampton until nearly daybreak
and had then run in close enough to
permit the landing of the launch.
Officially, the trim little vessel had not
been noted, and now if they were able
to get away before being observed,
or before the news of Harcourt's dis
appearance could cause lookout for
departing craft, Cornish knew they
were safe-that the success of his
carefully laid plan was assured.
His muscles stiff and sore, his head
aching violently, and his mouth
chafed and sore from the gag, Har-
court breathed sigh of relief when
he felt himself placed gently upon
what seemed to be bed. In another
moment the suffocating tarpaulin
was pulled from about him and some
one began to cut the bonds that cut
into his wrists and ankles.
The two men who had carried him
departed noiselessly, and in the dim
light of the little cabin, Harcourt
made out someone standing in the
doorway. A second later the electric
lights were switched on and he saw
Adele smiling mischievously at him.
Harcourt sat up with difficulty and
surveyed his dishevelled appearance.
His evening clothes were sadly dis
arranged, and he blinked at the lights
as he rubbed his wrists ruefully.
Good morning, Lord Harcourt."
Adele said gaily.
II say-what's this all about?" he
stammered, still winking at the lights.
isn't this bit tough on chap, Miss
Cornish?"
"Perhaps-just bit" she agreed.
"But you must blame dad-not me-"

The girl laughed merrily. do you

OPEN FIRE ON OUTPOSTS
Ramos Arizpe Attacked-Rebels Use
Big Guns but Wait for Re-
endorsements.

Paredon, Misunderstanding 10 re.
ports brought here, a heavy artillery
engagement has been in progress at
Ramos Arizpe, seven miles from Sal
tillo. The outposts around Arizpe have
been driven bSck by the Zaragoza
brigade, commanded by Gen. Raoul
Madero.
1t is said that the brigade is now
awaiting re-enfo rcements to begin the
assault on the city of Saltillo. The
country around the town is being
secured by cavalry for any Huerta
troops that are trying to join the main
body of Federals in the city.
From here to Ramos Arizpe, a dis
lance of twenty-five miles, the railroad
is impossible most of the way, and
the main body of the rebels will no
reach Ramos Arizpe for some time.
