Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1915-05-27

Haynes had five days In which to
plan and achieve. He took the train to
kronstad, a northern port, and, rep
resenting himself to be an agent for q
ships chandler, he purchased there
twelve thousand yards OF strongest
cordage This he had placed aboard a
sailing sloop In sections, and, loaded
almost to the gunwale with his strange
freight, he set his course for the lone
ly, uninhabited rock seven miles from
kristiensund, from which he hoped to
draw Beyers to his destruction.
The scheme which he had contrived
was the most fiendish that could have
entered the brain of the most des-
perate and constituencies criminal. 1t
was, in it's way, worthy of any of the
famous murderers of the days when
murder flourished as fine art in Italy.
Between the isolated rock and the
mainland, at certain tides. there swept
and eddied and sucked the giant whirl-
pool, the maelstrom, the most terrible
monster of all the formidable perils Of
the sea. From the nav of this terrific
monster no boat, once caught, has ever
escaped Drawn into it from distances
Of half a mile or more, Its victims,
with accelerated pace, rush to their de-
struction, spin for a few seconds upon
the circumference Of the monster,
look, horror-stricken, into its gaping
laws, and then, circling at a terrible
speed, plunge down to death, a thou
sand fathoms below.
Although, when the tide runs slack,
boats may cross the site of the mael-
strom unscathed, yet so potent Is the
terror which it inspires that none dare
to approach It, No wonder, then, that
the rock on which Haynes took up his
abode was uninhabited!
He spent two whole days splicing his
rope together. When at last the entire
length had become a single piece, he
spent third day winding 1t around
series of strong poles which he placed
deep in the sand, fortified by pyramids
If rocks until they were immovable I'M
der the strongest strain that he could
bring to bear. Then, filling his gaso-
line tank, he tested his gyroscope and
set it up in such manner that in its
revolutions 1t would wind in the whole
length of cordage. When this had been
completed he let the gyroscope run
down, fastened one end of the rope to
the tiller of his boat, and, on the Fri
day night, when the tide ran low, he
pulled for the mainland, towing the
rope behind him, which unwound auto
matically as the gyroscope, no longer
in action, spun like the gigantic top
1t was and drew the lengths of cord
age from the poles.
The night was so intensely dark that
Haynes could only gauge his direction
from the revolving lamp In the light
house upon the great cliff which domi-
mated the entrance to the ford; and
even with its aid he was so far drawn
out of his course by the current that
he landed finally two miles to the
south of his destination, beneath the
railroad terminal. which at this point

On the lonely rock seven miles from
the Norwegian coast John Haynes sat
waiting. The gray fogs, lifting mo-
mentarily. disclosed the barren shores
Of the mainland far to the east, uprear-
Ing in steep cliffs beside the clefts OF
the fjords. All round him were the
black, turbulent waters, ink-black un-
der a sky of scurrying clouds, save
where, two miles away. line OF foam
showed that the returning tide was
waking the terrific forces of the mael'
,trom, that giant circular whirlpool
from whose clutches no ship has ever
emerged. There John Haynes waited,
A man so filled with the turbulence or
lis own angry dreams that he might
nave been himself one Of those ele-
mental, natural forces that played and
struggled around him.
OF all the men who had banded
themselves together to rob Haynes or
lis western lands, Frederick Beyers
was first and foremost, both as regards
he launching of the conspiracy and in
he sharing Of the spoil. Haynes was
IN Englishman who had fallen heir to
4 vast, undeveloped western territory
whose value was estimated cohserva-
lively at eleven millions Of dollars.
Failing to induce him to accept mil
ion in settlement of his just claims,
he conspirators had leagued them
selves with the law, bribed judges and
awyers, and sent him, under false
lame, to the penitentiary for a
.rumped-up crime Through the trick
cry of his own counsel Haynes was de
prived Of the opportunity to defend
himself.
The rogues had hoped to enjoy the
proceeds of their crimes undisturbed--
1t least during the fourteen years
which Haynes was to serve. But in
he prison workshop Haynes had in
vented new and terrible machine
l gyroscope, which, attached to the
feet, or any vehicle, would drive 1t at
any speed up to two hundred miles an
aour. AS scientists know, the strangest
'eature of the gyroscope, which Is moth
ng but gigantic top, is that 1t main
aims the angle of incidence at which 1t
S first set spinning and cannot be dis
edged therefrom. This feature, OF
course, communicates itself to the We
1icle to which the top is attached;
hence, it can traverse roads, single
ines of railroads, or even rope cables,
adhering tenaciously and firmly to the
1arrowest track. BY aid Of this CON
.rivance Haynes had effected his es.
cape from the penitentiary and had re.
turned to the world to wreak justice
upon his prosecutors.
One by one his enemies received
their need. Some died, some ne;
more dreadful fates, unknown to the
world, which, chronicling their disap
pearance with passing wonder, was un
aware of what the rest of the conspira
tors knew but dared not publish-that

geance which he was resolved to exact

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all, ifsyou want to keep
your hair looking it's best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle,
and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsitied cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless),
is cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather. which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft. and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mnlsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and a few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.

STORY RITEN'

BY the Messenger Boy


Swell-head is one of them diseases
that gets kronick with some people.
and comes occasionally to most every
one when they gets their bills all paid
up. When it lasts too long the only
way to kure it is to have some one
take you down peg or two, or duck
your head in muddy ice water. 1t can
also be did by putin water in a mans
gasoline if he has a auto, or in the
kase of a lady, by tellin her she's
lookin older and aint usin enuff paint.
This will also lose her friendship for
you if you aint careful how you say it.
Swell-head don't do no one any
good, and should be kwaranteened and
disposed of by the reducshun company
that gathers garbage. 1t is a useless
pastime for some who gets to be
known as snobs and amt liked by ordi-
nary people. 1t is usually generated
by leavins from your grandfather of
a rich unkle or ant, or else by CROWN
rich with money you didn't work for.
