CHAPTER VII.
Help From tho Dead.

/" HE long ride on the brakebeam
had covered Montgomery's face,
hands and clothes with dust
and grease until be seemed a
part of the bog In which he had sought
shelter from the hounds at his heels.
Moving cautiously and always fearful
of a pit of q~uicksand, he sought one
of the high and dry hummocks Bill
had told him of.
He needed sleep and rest, for he had
worn out his feet and legs in the race
from Sing Sing to North Tarrytown
and his arms In the swimming of the
river. Clinging under a freight car for
the rest of the fight had racked every
r and muscle In him.
Montgomery came to a little estuary
of the bay piercing the marsh grass.
On the other side he could see as he
peered through the rent he made in
the green wall a rise in the marsh lev
ell and. topping 1t, a cluster of wild
flowers. He recognized 1t as his ref
uge against high tide and a place
where he could lie down and sleep.
No bed ever felt so soft and alluring
to a worn creature.
The sun at meridian beat down in a
straight shaft upon the sleeping man,
and gnats and mosquitoes fed upon
him. but still he slept Only semi
conscious of the act. he pulled his gray
biouse over his head and face and
stuck his hands under it when the tor
ture became too great.
In the afternoon the breeze from the
sea increased to a gale as the tide
reached the flood and the skies be
came overcast. A great clap of thun-
der awakened the sleeping fugitive.
Tho water was tapping at his feet.
The wind had sent mosquitoes and
Fnats to cover. He stripped and wash
ed himself clean. A glance at the
heavens told him that soon the rain
would fall No had been t~wenty-four
hours without a drink of water or a
particle of f5od. Bill had warned him
about the t1r:ures of thirst He placed
the felt hat given him by the burglar
30 that it would catch the rain. Ea
followed Bills advice and OF his blouse
made a little cloth reservoir supported
on sticks of driftwood. The fall of
the rain on his naked body and up
turned face would reduce the fever set
up by the stings of the pests, and he
would hoard as best he could what.
rainwater he could catch in blouse and
hat.
The rain began to fall, and the first
s%plashing of it against his body was as
a hOw of ointment to the sores of Job
after a food OF stale words from his
comforter Bildad, the Shuttle.

John D. Rockefeller
IS Years Old Today

New York, July S.-Although John
d. Rockefeller is rs years old to-day,
no celebration is being held It his
Tocantico Hills estate where he is
spending the summer.
Mr.. Rockefeller planned to follow
his daily practice of playing his is
holes of golf. Weather rarely inter
feres with h a exercise. Later in the
day he may take an automobile ride.
He will probably also go the rounds
of the estate with his superintendent.
There will be no birthday gathering,
as Mrs. Rockefeller and her sister are
in feeble health and John D., Jr., is at
Seal Harbor, Maine.
Many congratulatory messages have
already been received which pleased
Mr. Rockefeller. although he said he
wished the day might pass without
publicity.

BOOSTER MEETING
FOR MOTOR CLUB
Boiling Springs Outing, Hard
scrabble" and Orphans Day,
Are Discussed

A supper at Boiling Springs and a
booster meeting" on the evening of
August 1S was planned by h board
of governors last evening at the Motor
Club rooms. The success of a similar
outing two years ago prompted a num-
Der of the members present to ask for
another of q similar nature this sea-
son. 1t makes a short trip hat can
be easily made after business hours
and still permit an evening of socia-
bility and educational work by promi-
nent speakers. Besides the members
of the Motor Club invitations will be
extended to all motor car of
Carlisle and surrounding territory.
The members may leave Harrisburg at
any time that is convenient to reach
there by Z o'clock.
Orphans day at Hershey Park
promises to be as great a success as
the preceding ones Assurance of cars
from owners for August . are being
received daily by j. Clyde Myton. Sec
rotary. About seventy cars will be
necessary to carry the 500 or more
children from the various institutions.
A regular first-clas dinner will be pro-
vided for each child and the amuse-
ment privileges of the park placed at
their service. Novelties from various
merchants will no doubt be contributed
as souvenirs and a jolly good time
will be the order of the day before
returning in the evening.
The communication from the Cham
Der of Commerce regarding the elimi-
nation of the "Hardscrabble" district
from Riverside Drive was considered
and the sentiment of those present
was hat the club would neither OPP
pose nor favor the move unless the
ordinance carries with it the location
of the western curb line"
Nickel plated club emblems for plac-
ing on the radiators of motor cars
were received and nay now he had
from the secretary. And one hundred
danger signs for road purposes are
being placed at the dangerous cross
ings and curves of surrounding terri
tory. The club is doing everything
possible by such methods to promote
safe traffic conditions on the highway
and protect all vehicles and those who
nse them.

No one is now disposed to ridicule the

these collections, little by little,

Leaves Headquarters to Go

WILD SCENES IN COURT
Papers and Pens Thrown From

WILD SCENES In COURT
By Associated Press

London, July S.-The brief respite
in the militant suffraEette agitation
ended to-day when Mrs EmmeIine
Pankhurst resumed command of the
forces of the Women's Social and Po-
litical Union at their London head
quarters. Mrs. Pankhurst, who re-
occupied the offices at noon, was, how
ever. permitted to remain in active
command of the militants for only a
very brief period. When she emerged
from her headquarters to go to lunch
the police bounced on her and took
her to Holloway Jail.
simultaneously with the reappear-
ance of Mrs. Pankhurst a violent scene
was created in the central criminal
court. when Mrs. H. f. Alice Hall,
Miss Grace Roe, Miss Julia Jameson
and Miss Ellen Armes were brought up
for trial for conspiracy. The charge
against them was "conspiring with
others m~aliciously to commit damage
and injury and to spoil certain real
and personal property of the subjects
of our lord the king"
The prisoners had been arrested
during a raid on a West End fiat on
May 81. In their rooms were found
a new shrapnel grenade of ingenious
manufacture, coils of fuse and plans
of houses with instructions how to
reach them and as to the usual move
ments of the police in the vicinity.
Miss Roe and Mrs. Hall, when
brought into court, surrounded by
women wardens, refused to plead.
They threw papers and pens from the
prisoners enclosure and shouted a
commentary on their treatment in
Holloway jail. Two policemen and
FIVE women attendants started to carry
them out of court to the cells below.
When the judge decided TO proceed
with the trial in the absence of the
two women Mrs. Hall threw herself on
the floor and kicked several policemen
and it took some minutes to remove
her.
The other prisoners pleaded not
guilty.
