would understand On the Friday she
reached Nokomis, dressed as a nurse,
her suitcase in her hand
John Haynes had affixed his dummy
wheels, and the automobile took them
to his cottage. There he outlined the
case. He was amazed at Eleanor's
self-possession. The timid girl, ignor-
ant of the ways of the world outside
her little circle at Grand Valley, had
become infamed by his schemes Of
vengeance; not only the sense of 10y
atty to her father, so strangely re-
stored to her, but the desire to avenge
his wrongs and to discover her moth
er had come to dominate her entire
being. She learned his plan and she
pronounced it good.
"You see, my DEAR" John Haynes
explained, hobbling to his chair be-
side the fireplace, this Theobald is

his past, which he thinks forgotten,
should rise up and threaten him, he
would stick at no scruples. At the
same time it is necessary to frighten
him thoroughly and 20 impress him
with our power, so as to prevent the
possibility of renewed treachery."
On the next day, Haynes returned

Of the town. Haynes had suspected
that his wound could have been cured
and, that, in fact, Theobald had been
inveigled into the conspiracy of the
land gang. Theobald was now in pri-
vate practice in the city of Nokomis.
He did not recognize in the we'll
dressed, spruce, middle-aged English
man who hobbled into his consulting
room, the wounded man whom he had
treated at the hospital five years be-
fore. Haynes had rented a furnished
cottage on the outskirts, with pri-
vate garage in which he stored a rent
ed automobile. Beneath this he had
attached the gyroscope, fitting it to a
larger wheel. The four wheels of the
machine were dummies-for show,
but not for use. Upon it's single
wheel the little machine would run at
hundred and fifty miles, firm as q
rock-or as an operating table.

had examined and X-rayed his patient.

with puzzled face. In Mexico, you
say? That must account for it. In

Haynes, in order to arouse Theobalds 8

to the nearest telegraph Office. From
there he sent message to his daugh-

The Winslow mail., 1914-05-30

The discovery of the body of man
lying in the woods, with a bullet from
an automatic pistol in the brain, is
unfortunately not an event SO strange
as to call for nationwide publication.
When Grand Valley, N. Y, learned
of the discovery, under those condi-
tions, of what had been one of her cit
liens, the story was featured promi-
nently in all the local papers, for Jack
Poole had been a financier and mag
nate in that remote northern town.
throughout the length and breadth or
the land, were men who understood
the awful portent of this occurrence.
None but they connected it with
the appearance of the man in the
devil-chair, vehicle with a gyroscope
attachment, running at prodigious
speed, by means of which he had af-
fected a startling robbery in Brook
lyn and a still more astonishing es-
cape. The hue and cry for him had
now died down. A tickle public had
turned to new interests. But these
men knew-for Jack Poole had been
one of the group whom John Haynes
had marked out for vengeance.
Five years before he had been rob-
bed of vast landed interests in west
ern state by confederacy of unscru-
pulous men, aided by corrupt Judge
and bribed lawyer. He had been
treacherouslys wounded, paralyzed,
railroaded under an assumed name to
the penitentiary at Nokomis Falls.
John Haynes had been separated
from his wife and daughter. The girl
he had found, living upon the bounty
of the man Poole, in the belief that
both her parents were dead. Haynes
rescued her and sent her to Chicago,
to await the time when he should
summon her to his side. He learned
that his wife's whereabouts was known
to another of the gang-Chauncey E.
Robertson of Benderville, a mushroom
township near Nokomis and built on
his own lands in the midst of will
derness of prairie and a jumble of
barren hills. After Poole had come
to his end through new attempt at
treachery, Haynes resolved to seek
out Robertson, discover where his
wife was to be found, and execute JUS
tice upon him.
1t was a feature OF the plans which
Haynes had formed during the period
of his Imprisonment that each Of his
enemies should meet with fate ap-
proXimating, as nearly as possible
that which he had meted out to him.
He had no further confidence in the
law: anonymously he would work, Sc
cretly he would devise: and his blow
should fall like lightning bolt out
of blue sky.
But before melting out justice to
Robertson, he resolved to consult a
physician in order to discover wheth-
er or not the Gripping paralysis,
watch rendered his lower limbs use

Look on War With Relief

Vienna, July 2S.-The people in
the dual monarchy look forward to
a war with Servia which today form
ally was declared, with a feeling of
relief.
High officials are optimistic that
the war will be confined to these
two countries. Certain knowledge
that Russia would intervene, how
ever. would not cause Austria to al
ter her course in the slightest.
News of the formal declaration of
war ran through the city before ex-
ira editions of the papers could
reach the venders and was every
where greeted with spirit which
might be described as close to relip-
ious exaltation.
Vienna is absolutely without news
OF troop movements, which the pa
pers are forbidden to print. A sharp
censorship has been established on
all means of communication.
The evening papers published the
following inspired statement:
-" "oii ihioTIueQ circles the view

Grey's proposal to localize the con

AUSTRIA DECLARES
WAR ON SERv|A
Germany Does Not Favor Eng
lands Mediation Proposal.
FLEET is ORDERED HOME.
Germany's Refusal of British Pro-
pOsal for Mediation Paved Way
for Declaration of War.

London. July 2S.-The Austro-
Hungarian government declared war
against Servia today by manifesto
tory's momentous documents.
Germany paved the way for this
declaration by announcing her re-
lection of the British proposal to
bring four powers together in cor
ference for mediation. Germany ex.
planned her ally could not be expect
ed to submit her cast to an Euro
pean council as though she were one
of the Balkan states.
This announcement preceded the
declaration of war by only two hours
and showed the harmonious working
of the partnership between the two
nations which stood firmly together
through the Bosnian crisis of 1909.
The centre of interest has shifted
sharply to ST. Petersburg, which
holds the decision whether an Euro
pean war which probably would
shift the balance Of power, If not re-
arrange the entire map Of Europe, is
to break out. Negotiations are afoot
there between the Russian foreign
ministers and the Austrian ambassa-
dor, which are designed to "localize"
the conflict.
OCCUPATION OF BELGRADE.
The next news expected is the oc.
cupation of Belgrade, and that now
may be an accomplished fact. Re-
ports of encounters along the from
tier have been permitted to pass the
censor, but military experts here be-
ieve mobilization already has been
effected and that campaign is un-
der way.
There is no enthusiasm in Eng
land for war, yet there is general
belief that her obligations to the
partners in the triple entente, and
her interests as great European
power, will force her to support Rus
sia and France in any steps they may
take.
The immediate effect of the war
cloud is likely to be a compromise
oi nome rule, since all parties feel
that domestic dissensions must be
settled at all cost in the face of out
side peril.
The fierce demands Of the con-
servaiive papers for a general cleo
ton have been hushed. The foreign
Office has become the most important
branch of the government and no
one wants to risk the possibility of
losing Sir Edward Grey with his ex-
ceptional influence in the councils of
Europe.
The British warships everywhere
are taking on supplies. Soon after
1t became known that Austria and
Servia were at war all the officers and
sailors at Portland and Weymouth
were summoned to their ships.
