hear the family shouting out that
someone was in the library
With a parting thrust, Clutching

She held on to only a corner of the
papers. He had the greater part of
them. They were torn and destroyed,

back his gloved fist, and let it shoot
out squarely in a vicious solar plexus
blow.
'There-take that" he roared.
The suit ratified furiously Out of
it spilled the vocaphone, with a bang
on the floor.
An instant later those in the hall
rushed in. But the Clutching Hand
and Dan were gone out of the win

part of the precious papers.
Some ran to Elaine, others to the
window. The ladder had been kicked
away, and the criminals were gone.
| Leaping into the waiting car, they had
been whisked away.
Hello, Helloi HeIloi" called a
voice. apparently from nowhere.
What is that?" cried Elaine.
She had risen by this time, and was
gazing about, wondering at the strange
voice. Suddenly her eye fell on the
armor scattered all over the floor
She spied the little oak box.
"Elaine,"
Apparently the voice came from
that. Besides it had a familiar ring
to her ears.
"Yes-Craig!" she cried.
That is my vocaphone-the little
box that hears and talks" came back
to her. Are you all right?"
''Yes-all right-thanks to the voca-
phone"
She had understood in an instant.
She seized the helmet and breastplate
to which the vocaphone still was at
tached and was holding them close to
herself.

She laid marked emphasis on the

'Why-wh-what's the matter?"
asked Elaine, fidgeting uncomfortably.
"This man is a gunman, that wom-

precisely, drawing out q card on

Want i. S. Mint for
TuberCular Cases.

Believing that the time has al
rived when the Louisiana Anti.
Tuberculosis League should take
care of the advanced cases of tu-
berculosis, Miss Kate Gordon,
vice president of the organization,
outlined a plan at the meeting
last night of the central council
which was referred to COMMITTEE
of three for report. The. committee
is yet to be named by the pres
ident. Miss Gordon, who has in
fluence in Washington, believes
that she can get the use Of the
old United States mint for hospi-
tai purposes. In addition, she
would have the governor name
some day in next April as 'Tu-
berculosis day. the object beng
to secure funds on that day for
the furtherance Of the work.
The central council accepted
the proposition Of the United An.
cient Order Of Druids to build a
cottage at Camp Hygiea. A Mr..
Walsh left by will a sum OF $500
as a nucleus for such an under
taking. The league is in sore
need of dining room atthe camp
aud an earnest effort was made
to have the fund diverted to such
purpose, but the majority of
the Druids ruled that a cottage
fol sleeping purposes should be
erected to carry out the spirit OF
the Walsh will. In view OF the
fact that the Druids, through
ittee comprising Charles
II. Starkey and O. St Blanc, said
that it was highly probable thai
the order would donate twenty
five per cent towards dining
room building. the offer of thu
cottage was accepted. A resolu
ton Of the league adopted il
1912, which seemed to conflict
was rescin led.
