BLOW SAFE
AND TAKE
$4,000
Citizens Of LyerIy, Aroused by
Eight Explosions, Fired Upon
by Fleeing Outlaws.

An armed posse of $50 men with
bloodhounds is hot on the trail of the
cracksmen who wrecked the vault of
the Bank of Lyerly, one of the W. s.
Witham banks, early Friday morning
and escaped with more than $500
Burns detectives were rushed from
Atlanta as soon as the news reached
here.
The little village is filled with ex
element in anticipation of gun
posse and the robbers.
Telephone messages from c. Nc
Coy, cashier OF the bank, to w. s.
Witham, Jr., in Atlanta, gave the in
up the scent soon after they were
taken to the scene of the robbery and
that it was only question of a
few hours before the band of safe
captured.
Eight Charges Fired.
Eight explosions in rapid success
sion awakened the residents of Lyer-
ly about l o'clock Friday morning.
Men who rushed to the bank found
the vault and safe in ruins. The
yeggmen had done their work thor
oughly. They evidently were expe-
rienced.
BY the time the villagers arrived
the bandits had rified the safe of
more than $500 in money, leaving
notes and valuable papers behind.
A posse was formed at once. Tele-
phone messages were sent to the At
lanta police, W. S. Witham, Jr., and
to the local branch of the Burns De-
tective Agency. Before daybreak the
posse was in full pursuit. W. S.
witham, ST., the head of the string
of banks, is in Florida.
Valuable Papers Not Taken.
Cashier Mccoy also communicated
with j. A. Sasser, of Atlanta, an
official of the Bankers Trust Com
pany.
IAN of the valuable papers were
left behind" said Mr. Sasser. MIR.
Mccoy gave me assurance that the
only loss would be in the compare
lively small amount Of money that
was taken, That was fully insured.
THE posse is close on the trail of
the craftsmen. / am expecting to
hear any minute that they have been
captured"

At least four men were in the gang

the posse was organized. The dogs

gia branch line and started off in
southwesterly direction.

mile and a half from town.
Mrs. John Rose, wife of the post

It is true that nature and woman's
work mas produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
q remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds OF
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health ~ many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound:
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

CHAPTER X.
Alone Hand.

Martin McGee waited to keep his
latest appointment with Rosalie LIE
Grange on a bench in Stuyvesant Fish
Park, dead center for the Hebrew pop
ulation In New York. He speculated
iazily and with some amusement upon
the habits of Resale LIE Grange-so
much her own, yet SO well conceived
for her purpose. For example, this
method of holding business confer
ences on secret affairs-for she al
ways set her appointments in some
out-of-the-way open space. 1t was
a highly original, highly effective
plan. One could enter without at
tracing attention; one could watch
the approaches; meeting in a pub
lie park-grant that 1t we're discov-
cred In such remote part of the city
could be passed Off as an accidental
encounter, not conference. That
was one of the thousand ways In
which her mind thought faster and
further than his.
Martin MCGEE was approaching

In man. In the lusty summer of his
days, he had woodland lost. She
had chosen the other arm of munich

embarrassment over the coming meet
ing like that Of a youth who has been
slapped by a perky girl.
How do you do?" said voice be-
side him; and Rosalie's self settled
down on the park bench.
He looked at her without rising,
his first thought to read in those eyes
of hers, which mirrored SO many emo
tons, her attitude toward him. The
eyes were laughing!
"How do you do?' he repeated after
her And then, as though he must be
out with it:
