tAt CrandalTs today.
Members Of Norwegian cabinet have
trumped up charges against their am
bassador in Berlin. who they want to
get rid OF. The ambassador has secured
certified copy Of the evidence of the
fake" charge. He is visited by Coun-
tess Holgska. a spy. who pretends 10
be his friend. and she steals the papers
10 prevent the exposure Of the cabinet
members. The ambassador discovers the
loss and gets Detective Burnes to work
on the case. The ambassador faces trial
on the morrow and unless he can refu,e
the charges. with the evidence he has Sc
cured. he will be ruined.
Burnes gives chase after the countess
who is escaping in an automobile. She
throws on her pursuer by assuming a
disguise and changing from one auto
mobile to another. The detective halts
the first car and by bribing the chauffeur
picks up the trail. The countess is on
her way to the railway station. Arriv-
Ing. she telegraphs the foreign bureau
that she has the papers, and they should
have special train ready to take her
to the Holger Danske docks from where
she will resume her homeward journey
Burnes arrives at the station in time TO
see the train pull out He reads the
countess message in the telegraph office
ne WHeS dncdu 10 MS men 10 waylay
the special and hold the countess.
There is but one route to the Holger
Danske docks and he is sure Of getting
her. In the mean time Burnes, by a
short route, reaches the ferry. She fools
the detective by assuming a disguise and
gets her special train. The detective at
tempts to follow her but she loses him.
He takes a cab to the scene where his
men are awaiting the special train The
train Is held up but the countess escapes
from the rear. through underbrush.
Burnes arriving, finds the bird has flown
and in the meantime the countess has
bribed his driver and rides away In his
cab. Burnes improvises q telephone in
midair and phones an aeroplane which
is the quickest way to catch the countess.
He flies away and arrives at the Holger
Danske docks. where he changes roles
with q new stoker. The countess walks
into his arms when she enters q tug
boat which is to take her to board the
larger steamer. On board the Holger
Danske Burnes enlists his fellow worker
to help him get back the fake" evil
dence. Together the men go aloft and
Burns peering into the countess cabin
sees her with the papers. His helper gets
q life boat ready and Burnes entering
the cabin attempts to get the papers. The
countess struggles and he pulls her to
the deck where he finally gets the papers.
The lifeboat is lowered and the detective
and his man escape. The cbuntess IS
beaten and must proceed. to report fail
ure. In the meantime the lifeboat sinks
and the men after a struggle in the
stormy sea are washed ashore. Burnes
has but few hours to return the papers
as the trial will be held on the morn.
He rnshes back and safely delivers the
fake" charges that will clear the am
bassador

LEGAL RED TAPE

CORUNNA. Mich. Feb. 27.-(spe-

bined stream joins the Grand river at

or Co. has its big dam. It In proposed
to dredge the river from it, source
To Portland at an estimated cost OF
$685. 900.
An association has been formed to
push the scheme by the most enthusi-
astic OF the swamp land owners. But
the organizers OF the association are
being met on every side with prin.
cipslly one objection-legal costs nee.
essary to put the dredge through. All
but the most enthusiastic admit the
objection Will prove fatal. The legal
costs are sure to mount into the thou
sands. - four counties and dozen
townships are involved. A few year,
ago some Of the farmers on the river
had Z drain built which cost them
$4,000. OF this amount, $1,000 wa
spent on the actual construction Oh
the drain and the rest for omoors
fees and similar charges.
