CHAPTER C1I.-sAcRrF1cB.

He had worked his cautious way,
with the girl In tow. 10 a point about
midway UP the face OF tho cliff, fol-
lowing a long diagonal, that provided
the easiest climbing. when Alan stole
back to Judith and reported that. on
tho evidence OF observation and belief,
he was convinced that the pursuit
had turned back--pcrhaps for want OF
ammunition, haps to execute some
less hazardous attempt upon tho lives
Of the fugitives.
without delay. then, he made the FREQ
end OF the rope fast round his own
waist and. following the way Barcus
had chosen. began the ascent.
Itswas hot work, exposed TO the NOR
CHESS sun, like wingless ny on @
blank wall. and arduous and dan-
gerous to boot. Though ne tested
every foot and hand hold in advance
and progressed with tedious delibera-
ton. he was soon high enough to ap-
prcciate how fatal any slip might
prove-to feel tho emptiness at his
back Juggling like some strong yet
unseen hand.
Two-thirds of the climb had been
accomplished, and Rose and Barcus
had arrived In safety at tho top, be-
fore tho temptation to look down
proved irresistible.
hmm ediately beneath his heels the
face OF the cliff was deeply hollow cd
shelving ledge OF shale as steep as
roof, whose eaves-perhaps another
fifty feet below-jutted out over an
other fall OF a hundred feet.
Alan shuddered and swallowed hard
before resuming the ascent.
Another twenty feet. however
brought him to ledge quite six feet
wide, Offering a broad and easy pnth
to tile summit. He gained this with
mover OF heartfelt relief and was
on the point OF rising to his feet when
u uly OF horror from Barcus and a
scream OF terror from Rose. watching
over the upper. edge. warned him
barely in time to enable him to snatch
ut and grasp a knob of rock before
Judith's weight suddenly tautencd tho
rope between them and jerked Aians
legs from under him.
His feet and legs kicking the empty
mir beyond tho lip of the ledge, he lay
face downward, clutchine desperately
the knob Of rock, praying that It
might not come away In his grasp,
that his grasp might hold, that Barcus
might arrive III time to save them
both, The rope was cutting into his
waist like dull knife. The drag Of
'Judith's body was frishtful IIo could

HONORARY CAPACITY ONLY
Accepts Election to Position in Suf-

Understanding.

NASHVILLE. TENN. November H.
With the appointment of chairmen OF
important standing committees adop-
ton OF resolutions concerning the Eu-
ropeaa war, and the outlining OF plans
OF work for the ensuing year. the
business left over from the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
TONS annual convention was completed
here to-day at meetings or the cxecu-
tiv" council and the board Of directors
One OF the interesting Incidents In
the meeting OF the executive council
was the reading of Mrs. Dosha Brock
!nridge. OF Kentucky. first vice-prcsi-
dent of the suffrage association, OF a
letter from Miss Jane AddaIns, OF Chi
cago. relative to the proposed election
by the council OF Miss Adams as hon
orary first vice president
According to reports OF the incident,
Miss Adams In her letter objected to
the use which had been made of a
statement purporting to have been
made by her. and which strongly sup
ported the administration element in
the convention.
Miss Adams, II was reported, de-
clared in her letter that she would not
accept the honorary position unless it
were made entirely clear that she was
to serve in an honorary capacity only,
and that her name was not to be used
as indorsing future actions Of the off,
ctai board In which she took no part,
and on which she had no vote. The
council elected Miss Adams, follow
ing extended discussion, with this spc-
cific understanding.
The board OF directors appointed
Mrs. MediIl Mccormick. OF Chicago,
chairman OF the committee on con-
gressional work with Mrs Antionette
Funk. OF Chicago. as vice-chairman. 1t
was announced that Mrs. Funk will
go TO Washington and take charge of
tho work before Congress.

Mrs. EmmeIine Pankhurst, Militant
Leader 10 Arrested After . Fierce
Fight At a Meeting In Glasgow

Glasgow, March 10.-Mrs. Emme-
line Pankhurst, leader Of the militant
suffragets, was arrested yesterday at
a suffraget meeting in st. Andrews
hall after a fierce fight with the po-
lice, in which score of women were
hurt and several constables bruised.
Mrs. Pankhurst had just declared
that women had as ample justification
for fighting for their rights as man
ever had in the history of the world,
when a force Of police with their
clubs drawn dashed into the hall. In
anticipation of trouble. the sqffragets
had stretched a network or barbed
wire across the platform. The wire
was concealed by floral decorations
and proved efficacious with the aid Of
masculine supporters of the suffrag-
cts, using flower pots, chairs and any
thing they could lay their hands on
as missiles in holding back the pc.
lice for few minutes.
Finally when the police stormed
