Within an hour IL had been

We sailed the same afternoon
about twelve hours later than the

slipped past us on it's way to the
sea in the faint light of early
dawn.
Out of the Gulf of San Miguel
we pushed past Bravo Point as
fast as Stubs could send the Ar

to us. They stood for law and
civilization and the blessed domi-
nance of the old Stars and

l scudded down the beach as
fast as my legs would carry me.
Anderson had been left at the
cache and he came forward quick
ly to meet me.
"A tug rounded the bend five
minutes since, and stopped at
the yacht, Mr.. Sedgwick," he told
me.
1 looked out into the bay. A
boat was just leaving the Argos
for the shore. At the point where
the sailors presently beached ii
1 was waiting. Blythe jumped
out and splashed through the
shallow water to meet me.
Bad news, Jack"
What is it?"
Miss Wallace was waylaid and
kidnapped four days ago while she
and her aunt we're driving. Miss
Berry sent Philips down in a tug
to let us know. But that is not
the worst. The day before the
kidnapping Boutwell, escaped from
prison. 1t is thought that his
guards were bribed."
l saw I'm a flash the cause of
Bothwell's gloating triumph.
Evelyn was his prisoner. We
might dig the treasure up, but
we would have to give him every
cent of it in ransom for her. For
Blythe and Yeager, no more than
i, would weigh gold against her
safety.
/ told Blythe of my meeting
with Boutwell,.
We talked the matter over at
length. and Blythe finally con-
WINGED me that Evelyn was in no
real danger from her cousin until
he was sure he had lost the treas
ure.
Further, there was no use in
rushing back to Panama until we
were sure Boutwell, had not
brought Evelyn with him. Blythe
insisted on this:
AS soon as night falls we'll
send a boat mp the river TO find
out where his camp is"

Within the hour the tug that
had brought Philips steamed back
to Panama. With IL we sent Jim
mie and the steward.
This left US fourteen men. To
go with me on my night expedf-
ton / chose Anderson and Smith.
The tide was coming I'm when
we pulled from the Argos toward
the mouth of the Tuyra. Our
progress was slow, for we had to
make sure that we did not slip
past without noticing the schooner
that had brought the pirates
down from Panama.
At last we came upon the boat
of which we were in search.
There was only one way to find

KUNKEL DECIDES OLD
COUNTY AUDITORS MAY
CO OVER 1918 BOOKS
President Judge Does Not Touch
on Constitutionality of Con-
troller Act

Dauphin .county's board of auditors,
John w. Cassel and Francis W.
Riegle will be permitted to audit the
county's accounts for 1918.
President Judge George Kunkel so
decided in a concise but comprehen-
sive opinion handed down to-day.
Questions of future auditing by the
same officers-for the years of 1914
and 1915-and of the constitutionality
of the act creating the office of county
controller are not touched upon in the
decision. In demanding the books the
auditors asked that they be permitted
to examine only the accounts of 1913;
the objections raised as to the consti-
tutionality of the controllership act
the court considered unnecessary to
pass upon.
In effect the opinion means that
Auditors Cassel and Riegle. will. get
busy on the 1913 accounts and that
County Controller Cough, instead of
attending to this work, as the county
boards had believed was required by
the county controller act, will merely
continue to transact what other busi-
ness is necessary in connection with
his office
The action in question was instituted
by Auditors Cassel and Riegle-the
two remaining members of the board
Harry A. Walters having resigned to
assume the office of poor director
against County Commissioners Isaac
S. Hoffman, Samuel S. Miller and John
H. Eby, County Treasurer A. H. Bal
ley, Poor Directors Charles L. Boyer,
Thomas S. Manning and Harry A.
Walters, and Prison Inspectors Lane S.
Hart. Henry Cordes, B. Frank Ober,
John j. Hargest, w. B. Meetch and
John H. McIhenny, all of whom were
mandamused by the auditors to com
pei them to turn over the 1918 books
and accounts.
The defendant officials refused, con-
tending that the office of auditor had
been abolished by the controllership
act, and that the duties formerly per-

DEVASTATING CITY LAWNS

Hordes of black grass-devouring
and grain -devasting insects known as
army worms have infested the city,
and the office of State Zoologist Sur
face is receiving inquiries daily in re-
gard to them.
Professor Surface is preparing a
bulletin on the habits of the pests and
how to eliminate them. State nursery
inspector Enos b. Engler this morning
said that while the city is infested
with the worms, no complaints have
been received from the country dis
tricts. But in York county the army
worms have been seen at several
places. Complaints have also been
heard from Berks county.
The pest has not appeared in this
section of Pennsylvania since 1855,
when hundreds of farmers lost their
crops of oats. The black pests at that
time ate the tops off the oats and left
the stalk standing. Dispatches from
York county says:

The present outbreak, which is un-
