CHARLESTON. Mar. s3.--.According
TO unofficial reports made by county
and city detectives and state prohibi-
ton officers, Charleston is the cen
ter OF the illegal liquor traffic in West
Virginia
J. Walter Bee one Of those at the
head of the state department Of pro-
ihtbition, says that there are more
bootleggers IN Charleston than in any
other city or town In the state.
Most Of the employees Of the de-
partment, Mr.. Bee said, are reuuir-
ed to spand a ma jority Of their time
at the state capital While there
are more or less fragrant violations
OF the Yost law in other cities. the IL
legal sellers are not SO bold as those
who cater to the Charleston trade.
In other cities, Mr.. Bee said, a re-
ration OF activity has followed the
raids by the prohibition officers, but
this has not been the case in Cherries
tom there having been a large NUNS
Der Of second offenders arrested since
the state went dry July i.
Mr.. Bee denied the news story NIB
lished in ceiling paper that whis-
key and beer was being sold there
over a bar. He declared there is very
little bootlegging In the coal fields
and mining camps compared with the
infract tons OF the law In the cities
and larger towns OF the state.

Hernandez just then appeared ON
the veranda bearing with him a large
wicker dress-suit case.
Hernandez, slowly smoking a pana-
tela, scanned the horizon. Suddenly
his eyes narrowed. He strobe swiftly
into the living room and as swiftly
back again and in his hands he bore
q pair of up-to-date binoculars. He
neld them to his eyes and carefully
adjusted housekeeping them trained
upon a speck, mere speck, that had
appeared upon the surface Of the sea-.
With bound he was off, circling
the bungalow in the opposite direction
from that which Ponto and his ill-as-
sorted team had taken. He met him
half way.
"Ponto," he exclaimed, I'VE shall
have visitors. Unhitch the brute. Get
pickaxes-get spades"
Hernandez led the way to the fore
ground between the veranda end OF
the bungalow and the shore. He
pointed to a well-plowed strip of
ground
There" he cried, Eat that spot. Dig

then he threw back an opening a
trap door in the floor beneath. 1nez
watched him until he disappeared
into this wide hole. Then she glided
out to the veranda. She poured out
tiny drink and tossed 1t off. She lit a
cigarette.
Before her lay a partially plowed
held. She heard the jingle of an OK
chain. She heard a quavering voice
and then suddenly from the rear OF
the bungalow a strange trio entered
the arena Of events.
Ponto, fat little Mexican - VINO

crawled behind a primitive and inef-
fective plow.
And the team! A strangely as

Neal raised her to her feet and then
beside himself with anger dashed after
this reckless Individual up the road.
Look, look" cried Annette, what
Is this thing coming here?'
This thing, as Annette called 1t,
came on by leaps and bounds, with
hands that wildly waved about it's
body and above it's head as it sped
along. 1t was a figure, gigantic, fear
full. Welcher shuddered
The huge creature stopped short in
his tracks and stared at Annette
stupefied and fascinated.
The sharp crack of revolver shots
brought him to himself He looked
behind him. Annette following his
gaze saw figures rushing up the road

huge bound rushed up the road and
disappeared.
An officer followed by a handful of
sailors from the launch followed the
brute up the road.

The officer leaned forward. His
mind was at work. His memory trav-
eled back over some thirteen years.
He nodded.
"1lington," he repeated. "a child

Hernandez shrugged his shoulders.

and held out his hand. "Sorry to

CHAPTER 4.

A General Jail Delivery.
Meantime Neal, incensed at the as
sault, either intended or accidental.
upon Annette, was following his man
across country. Hernandez was lean
and agile and he kept well In the lead.
At the railroad, obeying some sudden
impulse, he turned and swung on down
the tracks. Here he was at disad-
vantage. Neal was accustomed to leap
ing railroad ties, two at a leap.
By this time, however, they had
reached the bridge-a bridge over the
inlet to the north of the town. Her
nandez darted out upon 1t with Neal
Immediately Behind him, but just as
Neal was about to clutch him from
behind, Hernandez twitched aside and
leaped to the waters of the inlet far
beneath.
Neal followed suit. Both men swan
to shore and Hernandez, realizing for
the first time that he was followed by
one man and not two, now changed his
tactics. He stood upon the shore and
waited until Neal came up. Then
with sudden rush he darted forward
and planted a murderous blow In the
direction of Meals chin.
When the blow was delivered Meals
chin was not there, nor was Neal, but
he was not far away. He ducked and
countered with his left, striking Her
nandez full upon the throat.
At that instant something small and
dark and fat leaped out of the dark
ness, drew poniard, and before Neal
could even turn, had cut a gash-a
deep gash-in Meals shoulder.
This new assailant was Ponto
And then all three heard a sound
upon the bridge. All three looked up.
There in the moonlight, running full
tilt toward them, was squad of uni
formed men.
Ponto and Hernandez took to their
heels and ran, but Neal in that instant
leaped upon them from behind,
clutched each man with one hand.
"Come on, boys" he yelled, painting,

Meantime Mrs. Hardin had succeed

cottage. Annette had been somewhat

porch Of the low-roofed bungalow. He
moved with lazy strides. He was pros

of Mount Pelee in Martinique.
Now it was the year 1915. It was
January Of that year. He was located
nay, comfortably established-on his
own plantation in the southern waters
For months or years-who knows?-
he had lived a life of ease upon this
island just off the coast of Porto Rico

tapped a bell.
"Inez," he cried sharply, bring me

expression on his face was sinister,
and across his face was an old.time
scar planted by a saber stroke.
Within a woman had been humming
-humming little snatches Of familiar
Spanish songs. At his command the
humming ceased. There was an ex-
clamation of rage-of feminine rage.
Inez Castro stepped out upon the YER
anda.
Il am no servant" she exclaimed
angrily, "to be summoned by bell"
Drink" said Hernandez sharply,

She poured it out for him and hand

her foot.

pounds of flake cocaine"
He strobe into the bungalow and
approached a rude fireplace at the
farther end Of the apartment. He
stopped and threw back the corner of
a many-colored rug that partially con-
cealed the tiles. The tiles were loose
ly set. He removed a dozen of them

Ten minutes later Hernandez and
Ponto were safely under lock and key

Three hours later, just as the moon

CHAPTER Viii.
The Flash Flare.


Neal Hardin of the United States
life-saving service at Seaport, N. j.,
swung down the narrow lane toward
the beach. Before he reached the in
tervening railroad tracks a traia
pulled in-a shore train from New
York. It's last two cars blocked Meals
progress toward the beach-and he
was forced to wait until the train
pulled out again. Meantime, while the
train was stationary, a single passen-
ger alighted-a smartly dressed young
woman.
She stopped, once she had alighted
and glanced about her in uncertain
ty. She caught sight of Neal and
started toward him.
eff you don't mind" said the young
woman, in dulcet tones-and with just
voice-"if you do not mind, should
like to find the post ofice-if you
have one here"
Neal nodded IT go past there" an
swered Neal, "rll take you to it.
Come with me-"
true
"This is the post Office" he ex-
claimed at length.
Neal passed on toward the beach.
He had not gone far when he heard a
woman's scream. He looked back. In
front of the post Office a crumpled
heap turned out to be the pretty wom-
an.
"I slipped Notwithstanding"
she exclaimed, "and, oh-the pain-the
pain"
"Where?" queried the postmaster.
'My foot, my ankle" returned the
young lady; cit is bad-bad."
She fell back, half fainting, in Meals
arms The postmaster nodded to Neal.
"She was going to your mothers,
Neal" he said.
my Mothers" gasped Neal, docs
does she know my mother?"
The postmaster shook his head.
"she wanted a quiet place-not
boarding house, nor nothing OF the
kinda quiet place for her and her
old father. I gave her your mothers
name. I didn't know. I thought may
be your mother might take 'em in
Neal clutched her in his strong arms
and staggered to his feet.
''I'll take you to my mothers" he
said aloud; that's where you were
bound-Im Mrs. Hardin's son.
Meals mother, Mrs. Captain Hardin,
had spent good part of the last hour
4f
She was delving into the depths of an
old leather trunk-and that meant
that she was delving into the past.
At the very bottom of the trunk
where she had placed them years ago,
was a newspaper package, carefully
tied up. She opened it and spread it's
contents on the lid of the trunk They
consisted of the clothing-all the
clothing-of little girl-the dress
and the linen articles had turned
slightly yellow-even the thirteen
years had left their mark upon them.
But this was not all-there was
bag of gold-the bag of gold that the
little girl had brought aboard the Prin-
cess during that day of terror back at
Martinique. And pinned to the tiny
dress was still the note-hastily pen
ciled by an unknown hand:

from below. Hastily she slowed away

'I think it, must lie in this direc-
tion," said the man, pointing along
the road.
The girl turned and began to walk
in the direction that the man indicat-
ed. At first he tried to lag behind
her, but presently, realizing the abb
surdity of their position, he took the
courage to address her. .-,.,..
The girl looked at him with swift
scrutiny. In spite of her apparent
indecision the longing for compan-
ionship leaped out of her eyes un-
mistakably. The man took courage.
They walked side by side, crossed a
path through a field and emerged on

The Lonely Man had decided to
take days holiday in the country.
He had gone so far noTthward that
he had reached the city limits; then
he had taken ferry boat across the
river and come to suburban street
car. He got in, and presently, for the
first time in many years, he saw the
country-real country, with trees
and flowers and singing birds.
There remained only one other
passenger when the car passed
Greenfield. She was a girl about 81.
Her hair was brown, her eyes gray,
her figure slight. Her dress was neat
but worn, and the purse from which
she extracted the coin had seen bet
ter days. The Lonely Man watched
her when he thought she was not OBJ
serving him
The Lonely Man was between thir-
ty-f1ve and forty. Once, years be-
fore, he would have thrilled with the
sense of adventure For the girl, like
himself, was obviously hoIiday-mak-
ing.
"An OUT" announced the conduc-
tor impersonally.
The car stopped at the end of a
country road and the conductor be-
gan to reverse the seats. There was
not house in sight, but trees every
where, and birds and tall flowers that
nodded by the wayside.
The man and the girl stood side by
side in the roadway and the car ran
back until it disappeared in the dis
lance.

ABSOLUTE, VAN|T|E 60 INDOORS FOR WINTER
Cup Defenders had Try outs: Vsnite Improved; but Didr't Win
 Many Races
IAssocIArEp rrEss pIsrArcHl

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-The Amer ic;l's Cup defence yachts Resolute and Nani.ie have been retired for another year after a season of trial racing which has left the question of relative merits about where il was at the close of 1914. Between July and July 27 these two yachts met in q series ot ten special races with the result that the Resolute won nine and the Vanitie one. Six "f the contests were sailed on Long Island sound and four over ocean courses.
 Close followers of yachting express the opinion that of the two single stickers. the Nanitic showed the greater improvement and that fur ther nVerhauling this winter will i'm prove her chances when the yachts are put overheard next year Al though forced to give the Resolute a time allowance in almost all the 1915 races, the Cochrane sloop showed faster sailing qualities than during the preceding season and may vet prove her right to defend the cup. The challenger, shamrock IV is still boxed in Brooklyn shipyar1 and there appears to be little pros pect uf the international regatta be- ing held during the coming year
