PORTER AND LIQUOR MEN
TO PLAN CABARET FIGHT

Divorce Liquor and Music.

Director Porter has called a conference

liquor men and because brewery interests
refused to aid the plans for eliminating
conditions that the liquor men decided

"Mr. Bonner and others started a move

city and the liquor men should be sus-
tained by public opinion" said Director
Porter. Their movement to upllft' the
business and eradicate Objectionable fea-
lures was a most worthy one and should
not be permitted to fail.
II have feared this turn in affairs all

Al she entered, quictiy she selected
one OF the trunks whose contents were
more smart than the rest, and laid the
gowns out most fetchingly about the
room.
In the Office Of the hotel a few mo-
ments later the naturalist entered. He
looked about curiously, then went over
to the desk and glanced over the reg
lister. At the name Madame Larenz,
Paris, Room 22," he paused.
For some seconds he stood thinking.
Then he deliberately walked over to q
leather chair and took a prominent
seat near by in the lobby. He had dis
carded his net, but still had the case,
which now he had showed into his
pocket. From table he picked up a
newspaper.
It was not long before Del Mar
pulled up before the hotel and entered
in his usual swagger manner. He
had returned to the bungalow, read
the note, and hurried over to the st.
Germain.
He crossed the lobby, back to the
Office. AS he did so the naturalist had
his face hidden deeply in the open
newspaper. But no sooner had Del
Mar passed than the newspaper fell
unappreciated, and he gazed after him,
as he left the lobby by the back way.
1t was only few minutes after she
had completed arranging her small
stock SO that it looked quite impress
sive. that Madame Larenz heard a
knock at the door and recognized Del
Mars secret code. She opened the
door and he strode in.
II got your note,' he said, briefly,
coming directly to business and tell
ing her just what he wanted done.
"Let me see," he concluded, glancing
at his watch. ''It is after three now.
She ought to be here any minute"
Outside, Elaine drove up to the
rather garish entrance of the St. Ger
main, and one Of the boys in uni
form ran forward to open the door
and take charge of the car. She, too,
crossed the lobby without seeing the
old naturalist, though nothing escaped
him.
AS she passed he started to rise and
cross toward her, then appeared to
change his mind.
Elaine went on out through the back
of the lobby, directed by a boy, and
mounted a flight of stairs in prefer
ence to taking the lift to the second,
or sort of mezZanine floor. Down
along the corridor she went, hunting
The Ely miner., 1915-11-26

Elaine might by this time have pur-
chased enough frocks to clothe her
for year. At any rate l quickened
my pace in the hope of seeing her.
Suddenly my horse SHE'D, and IA
miliar little car flashed past me. But
the driver was not familiar. 1t was
Elaine's roadster. In it was a stran-
ger-a man who looked like "bugol.
ogist," as nearly as I can describe
him. Was he running off with her car
while she was waiting inside the ho-
tel?
I galloped after him.
Del Mars automobile, with Elaine
bound and gagged in it, drove rapidly
by back and unfreQuented ways into
the country until at last it pulled up
before an empty two-story house in a
sort of grove Of trees.
The men leaped out, lifted Elaine,
and carried her bodily into the house,
taking her upstairs and into an upper
room. She had tainted when they laid
her down and loosened the dress from
about her face so that she could
breathe. There they left her, on the
floor, her hands and feet bound, and
went out.
How long she lay there she never
knew; but at last the air revived her
and she regained consciousness and
sat up. Her muscles were sore and
her head ached. But she set her teeth
and began struggling with the cords
that bound her, managing at last to
pull the dress over herself at least.
In Elaine's car the naturalist drove
slowly at times, following the track
Of the automobile ahead. At last,
however, he came to place where he
saw that the tracks went up a lonely
road. To approach in a car was to
warn whoever was there. He ran the
car up alongside the road in the
bushes and jumped out, leaving it
and following the tracks up the side
roadway.
Stealthily the naturalist crept
around, still hiding, until he was clos
er to the house on the other side.
At last he worked his way around
to the rear door. He tried it. 1t
was boltad. and even the skeleton

for number twenty-five. At last she
found it at the end and knocked.
Del Mar and Madame Larenz were
still talking In low tones when they
heard light tap on the door.
There she is now," whispered
Larenz.
"All right; let her in," answered Del
Mar, leaping quietly to closet. I'll
hide here until ! get the signal. Do
just as 1 told you"
Outside, at the same time, accord
ing to his carefully concocted plans,
Del Mars car had driven up and
stopped close to the side Of the hotel,
which was on a slight hill that
brought the street level here not so
far below the second story windows.
Three of his most trusted men were in
the car.
Madame Larenz opened the door.
"Oh, I'm so glad you came" she rat
tied on to Elaine. you see, I've got
to get started. Not a customer yet
But If you'll only take a few gowns,
other people will come to me. I'll let
you have them cheaply, too. Just look
at this ono"
She held up one filmy, creamy crea.
tion that looked like a delicate flower.
I'D like to try it on" cried Elaine,
lingering it rapturously.
by all means!" agreed madame.
I'VE are alone. Do so."
With deft fingers, Larenz helped her
take of her own very pretty Dress
AS Elaine slipped the soft gown over
her head, with her head and arms en-
gagged in it's multitudinous folds,
Madame Larenz, a powerful woman,
seized her. Elaine was effectualIy
gagged and bound in the gown itself.
Instantly Del Mar flung himself
from the closet, Disgusting his voice.
Together they wrapped the dress
about Elaine even more tightly to pre-
vent her screaming.
Madame Larenz seized q blanket
and threw that over Elaine's head
also, while Del Mar ran to the win
dow. There were his men In the Ear,
waiting below.
Are you ready?" he called softly to
them.
