1t is difficult to interpret otherwise the
action of the trustees Of the University of
Pennsylvania in dismissing Professor
Scott Nearing. This has indeed been
done after the close of the academic year
and it may have been thus planned by the
trustees in order to avoid publicity due to
protests from the faculty and the students.
In so far as this is the case, it indicates
that success in exploiting public utility cor

resignation he gave out statement that ne

to 90 to Washington on pain of instant dis
missal.
At Pennsylvania the faculty members sup
porting Nearing put into practice all the
technique they knew in preliminary conflicts
for an efficient fight. They decided they
would not resign to express their sense of out
ragged feeling or to emphasize their protest.
They realized that the trustees could be count
ed on to welcome, rather than to view with
regret, an opportunity to fill twelve or more
vacancies in the faculty.
So board of strategy was formed among
Meanings friends, and it is with the policies
devised by this board of strategy that the
public will have to deal during the coming
summer, Scott Nearing himself to play silent
role. 1t may be freely stated that the first aim
and object Of the board of strategy is to at
tract the notice of the man in the street to the
plight of Scott Nearing in every possible way.

so the scientific man who for academic

officials of a university who use their

wedged the telephone bell with q
piece Of paper 80 that 1t would not

She was about to move awey from

encouraging nod to the girl.
Inez had killed two birds with one
stone. Not only had she disarmed
suspicion about the interrupted call,
but she had laid the foundation for
the delivery Of trunk which at that
moment she knew WI and Long Sin
were preparing and packing.
1t was large trunk, and in It the
two willy Cinnamon were packing
chair, as well a. the phosphorus ma
chine.
Once Mistress Inez induces Elaine
to sit In this chair" observed WI, tap
ping 1t significantly as he closed the
trunk. half our work is completed"
Uptown Inez, always on guard, was
watching for the safe arrival Of the
trunk, when she saw a messenger boy
coming up the steps of the house.
Perhaps. 1t flashed over her, It was
some message from Kennedy. She
must get 1t. whatever 1t was.
Without hesitating moment she
slipped back into the library while the
boy was still at the door and wrote
a note Of her own at the desk. She
had thought out beforehand just what
plan she was to adopt and the note
read:
Dear Miss Dodge:
The ladies Of tho First Baptist
church viii send q collector for our
rummage sale this afternoon. We
thank you for whatever you can give
him. Yours truly,
Miss Ella Burns,
Secretary, Woman's Guild.
Inez read over the note she had
written herself as the messenger boy
continued ringing the bell impatiently
Then she hurried into the hall to open
the door.
The boy came In and Inez took the
note he had brought. signing Elaines
name for 1t In his book She had
acted not a moment too soon, for
Elaine had heard the bell and was
now coming downstairs herself.
Was 1t anything for me, Inezy she
asked.
Inez deity palmed the letter and
substituted the note she had written.
The Raymer enterprise., 1915-09-23

Yes. ma'am.'' she replied, handing
Elaine the faxed note.
Elaine read it. Il didn't know about
the rummage sale before" she com
mented, as She went into the library,
but / guess I'll have to give them
something"
She sat down for a moment to look
over a new fashion magazine. Out
side In the hallway Inez was reading
the note which the messenger boy
had brought, with the warning post
script written by Kennedy under
meath. She knew. as she destroyed
1t. that 1t was only a part Of Wu's
subtle plan to alarm Kennedy and
start him on a false scent.
It was not many minutes later that
the bell rang again. and this time
Jennings answered the door, disclos-
ing the expressman with a heavy
trunk.
"Oh, I guess that's my trunk" Inez
exclaimed. May have 1t taken up to
the attic, out Of the way?"
The men carried the big trunk up
stairs into the attic, a large room full
Of trunks. some old furniture and
great many old dresses hanging up.
As they set 1t down she signed the
receipt for it, and the eypressmen
clumped downstairs.
For a moment she leaned over the
railing and looked after them to make
sure that she was alone, then hastily
locked the door and ran back to the
trunk to unlock 1t.
First she took out the chair which
WI had devised and placed 1t near the
clothes hanging up. Next she re-
moved the phosphorus mechanism
and placed 1t in the shadow back
of the chair, piling up some excelsior
and other dry stuff over aud around It.

arrangements when Il occurred to

had done nothing yet about the letter
from the Women's Guild.

She started up. just as Inez was
leaving.

without being seen.
In the attic Elaine started to take
down and examine several dresses for
the rummage sale. laying them aside
one by one.
An attic is always place that calls
up memories Of the past, and Elaine
soon began To think Of things that
were suggested by one after another
OF the discarded dresses. Besides,
some of them were scarcely worth
sending, anyway. She sat down, alb.
sently, in the chair to think It over.
Suddenly a secret spring released
set of bands that automatically and
swiftly clamped over Elaine's arms
and about her body and neck, holding
her in a grip OF steel. At the same
time vapor bulb in the back of the
chair shot out its smothering fumes,
rendering her unconscious.
Elaine was caught In trap.
lnez in silent exultation opened the
attic door just a trife. Then her
slender hand reached in and took the
key from the inside. shut the door and
locked it from the outside.
Stealthily Inez crept downstairs
from the attic and into Elaines room.
There, taking care that neither Marie
nor Aunt Josephine was about, she
opened the closet and took out the
dress, coat and hat which Elaine had
worn when she was kidnapped by WI
and stuffed them into suitcase. Inez
closed the suitcase quickly, threw on
her own hat and coat and left the
house unobserved.
Hall an hour later she entered the
opium joint on Mott street.
There were both WI and Long Sin
carefully examining blonde wig made
up as closely as possible to resemble
the golden masses that were the
crown Of Elaine's beauty. Four or
five other Cinnamon sat and stood
about at a respectful distance.
Have you the clothes?" asked WI,
greeting Inez.
YES" she returned. "All has been
done exactly as you ordered"
Good" complimented WI. Then
you may prepare yourself immediate
