With IL sharp, startled movement,

With sharp, startled movement,
Alan swung himself bodily about. so
that, seated again astride the girder,
he faced the assassin who sat up.
straddling the girder, his feet hooked
beneath it stiletto poised In his
right hand to strike.
But even now Alan was in little or
no better case than before. II he faced
the thug, he faced him with no arms
other than his bare hands. He had not
even a pen-knife in his pockets.
With low cry of desperation Alan
snatched off his hat. soft and shape
less felt affair, and flung 1t squarely in
the fellows face.
Before he could recover-before.
that is, 1t dropped away and cleared
his vision. Alan had bent forward and
grasped the wrist of the hand that
held the knife.
He snatched simultaneously at the
other hand, but it eluded him.
Alan had this advantage, as long as
the knife might not strike-that his
right arm was free, while the assassin
had only his left. With this he strove
persistently to reach his knife-hand
and possess himself of the weapon.
AS persistently Alan foiled his purpose
by dragging the knife-hand toward him
and swinging 1t far out to one side At
! the same time he struck repeatedly
with his clenched right fist at the 9TH
er's face. His blows did little dam
age beyond disconcerting the other;
but this proved a very considerable
factor in the duel. In the end. they
served together with that steady, re.
sistless downward and outward drag.
to break the grip of the mans locked
legs.
| Abruptly he pitched forward on his
face along the girder, kicking wildly
grasping at the air. The stiletto fell
from an instinctively relaxed grasp
and disappeared. And before Alan
could release his hold, or ease the
strain upon the right arm Of the as
sassin, this last had slipped bodily
from the girder and hung helpless in
space. dangling at the end of Alan'f
arm--with no more than the grip Of
fivs fingers between him and death.
The shock of that unpresaged turn
brought Alan forward ard fiat on his
stomach. And the strain on his left
arm was terrific. He doubted II he
could maintain it for another minute
Nor was there any reason why hi
should retain it. The end he had de
signed for his victim was merely hi.
just desert.
And yet Alan could not let him go.
Thus the battle began anew-bu
now 1t was battle with man halt
crazed and struggling so madly tina
he well-nigh frustrated the efforts o
his rescuer
In the upshot the assassin lay like
limp rag across the girder, head an
arms dangling on one side. legs an
feet on the other, spent with his tel
rifle exertions and physically sick wit
terror.
And in this state Alan left him: h
had done enough; let the man shit
for himself from this time on.

result of the heavy seas following
the earthquake.

AUTOMOBILE BURNS ON ROAD

Shenandoah, Ia, June 27.-Mrs.

cause of the bad luck which befell
the McKeans and Harlan Edgar Raj

Ralston had purchased a new mo-
torcycle and determined to try it out
on trip to Sidney. The motor
didn't work very we'll and he induc-
ed the McKeans to bring him home
in their big Velie car. They slowed
the balky motorcycle in the car, and
then Mr.. and Mrs. Mexican and
young Ralston crawled in.
Just after they rounded steep
hill four miles west of Shenandoah
they noticed blaze in the bottom of
the auto. A small explosion follow
ed. The fire had already burned the

the car, and the blazing automobile,
with it's three scared occupants, shot
down the long grade at terrific
rate of speed. When they reached
the valley and started up the next
hill the car slackened speed suffic-
iently to permit leap for safety.
The passengers sprang from the
car just as the fire reached the gas
oline. Then they sat by the roadside
and watched the big car and the
new motorcycle burn for two hours
with a glow that was seen for miles
around. Ralston also lost coat and
fat pocketbook, which he left in the
car in the scramble for safety.

.BERL|N'S GROWTH
IS CHECKED
Business Depression Causes Loss in
Population Of German Capital.

Berlin, June 30.-The population
of greater Berlin is growing at
slower rate since the present period
of business depression set in. 1t in
creased last year by only $4,000,
whereas the gain has been 100000
for 1912, and 10000 for 1911. Ber-
lin itself actually lost population in
1913 for the first time in very many
years. The reduction was about
$1,000, whereas the previous rate of
gain had been about 10000 a year.
That the change in prosperity was
the cause of this movement in pop
ulation is evident from the fact that
the number of concerns in greater
Berlin employing as many as $4,000
persons was reduced in 1913 by 49,
600.

have started from a spark from the
still glowing embers of Thursdays
fire.
Shortly before 10 O'Clock, a heavy
drizzle of rain set in. From the
point of view of the fire fighters this
was desirable but it promised much
distress in the tent colonies. The
relief committee at once began prep
arations to provide adequate shell
ter.
The state police, under Deputy
George c. Neal, began Saturday with
the city officials, an investigation of
reports from several sources that
number of the smaller fires which
contributed to the destruction of
one-half of Salem during Thursdays
conflagration, were of incendiary or
igin.
An effort was made also to deter
mine the cause of the main fire
which started in the Kern Leather
works. The report will be made at
the inquest which will be held early
next week.
