The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-05-05

Of q narrow iron ladder. He caught at
this ladder and drew himself up, for
he now stood shoulder high in the
ever-mounting food. On the topmost
rung, as he mounted. he found a shak-
ing and feathered body clinging stub
bornly to the rusting iron, beating
with its beak on the hollow sounding
boards above his head.
In flash Manley himself was shout
dering up against these boards.
There was the sound of a rending
staple, and in another moment he was
swarming up through the ruptured
trap door, catching at the parrot as he
went
He still carried the parrot as he ran
down narrow passage. crossed still
another room, flung out through sec
ond heavily barred door, and found
himself on the street. But even there
he did not stop. For he remembered
what he had overheard about Legar
working havoc to the house of Golden
that night, and the thought that he
might yet be too late winged his feet
with speed.
The Figures Of Fate.
Margory Golden, alone in her IA
theirs library stared apprehensively
about that massively furnished room
as though dreading that some new
terror might leap out at her from its
shadowy corners She was unnerved
not only by the disquieting disappear
ance of David Manley but also by the
thought that she was still so surround
ed by the tides of evil. And con-
fronted as she still seemed to be by
Legar's Vaccinations, she found small
consolation in a portly police lieuten-
ants assurance that the city force
would be set to work on the case first
thing in the morning.
AS she sat there, deep in thought,
she was depressed by the sudden sus.
picion that some one Of the many
servants in that house was traitor
to his master. Yet as she checked
them over, one by one, she found moth.
ing on which to ground this ghostly
suspicion. She remembered that she
had once been suspicious even OF Man.

Der, punctuated by the shrill cries of
an angry and scolding woman. He
| pulled himself together and possessed
himself of the brick bat, as weapon.
Then staggering across to the smolder-
ing lamp, he blew it out. His hand
was still on the shank of that lamp
when the sound of the key being turned
in the door lock came to his ears. He
stood In the darkness. waiting for the
door to open.
He waited, scarcely breathing, as
the door was flung open. So quick.
however, was the entrance of the first
intruder that Manley could not lift his
missile before the darkness had swal-
lowed up that shifting shadow. But
standing in the lighted doorway was a
second man, crouched low and leaning
forward with blinking eyes, blue-bar-
relied navy revolver in his hand. Man
ley, eying that evil face as sharp
shooter eyes his target, let fly with his
| poised brick. and let fly with all his
| force.
The stopping man went down like a
clouted rabbit. without sound. But
even as he fell the first intruder, at
| the far end of the room, struck q
match. And at that second figure
Manley let drive with the only missile
at hand.
The heavy glass lamp, hurled true,
sent man and match against the case
side in a shower of oil and broken
glass. But Manley did not wait to wit
ness the result of that second assault.
He leaped for the door, caught up the
blue-barreled revolver from the hand
| of the stunned man on the threshold.
and drove for the heavier door at the
end of the outer chamber.
But this door he found to be locked.
He was on the point of starting back
in search of a timber heavy enough to
batter down that barrier when all
movement was arrested by an uproar
of sound that fairly drove the breath
from his body. For the shower of oil

beside the powder cases, had burst in
to flames and had crept closer about
those wooden cases until the licking
tongues of heat had reached the explo-

Yet even as Manley stood there.

both confronted and engulfed him.
Following close on that telltale roar
of sound came an even more bewilder-
ing rusk OF water, tearing through the
iow-roofed cellar like a thousand
hounds let loose. And he knew then
that the explosion had broken down
the walls between him and the East
river at high tide.
He leaped in the direction of the
door, in the hope of getting it closed.
He was still struggling frantically
at this door when a heard a voice.
and at first he thought it was a human
voice. crying shrilly through the
gloom.

EAT ALMOST ANYTHING
 BUT ROCKS AND ROPE.
FIELD HEADQUARTERS. May 20

FIELD HEADQUARTERS. May 20 -(By Army Motor Truck to Colum- bus, x. M., May 15.J-Thc value of the army mule. which wavered mo. mentarily when the automobile trucks in the Villa chase demonstrated their adaptability for mountain transporta- ton, has been vindicated by the re- suits of this campaign
 In transporting supplies overland to the main bases. through q country without railroads, the automobile trucks have proved much superior to the old fashioned mule wagon teams the reliance when Geronimo was pur. sued through this same country Meanwhile the mules as pack animals have gone beyond the new truck lines into a country where no wheeled ve- hicle yet invented can move, crossing chasms and climbing through noun tain forests where it has been neces, sary to trample paths through the brush
 These mules proved more hardy than horses in the hard bandit chases They were better able to live off the country without loss of strength. They ate almost everything except rocks and one kind of rope. The one rope which they would not eat was ne Mexican Iarit, made out of horse na;r.
 While the animals did not actually take much leather or other foreign substance into their stomachs, they were continually chewing at harness, when it was within reach, to get the slightly salty taste it possesses. The mules also nibbled at trees and dead weeds.

GERMANS PROPOSE TO MAKE
 CHURCH BELLS INTO SHELLS

COPENHAGEN, May 22. - Schles- wig newspapers commenting on re cent order of the military authorities, say that it seems that they favor the wholesale dismantling of church bells for ammunition purposes. The order was occasioned by the publication of a memorandum from the constabulary at KiaI, which stated, that a Berlin firui Ed sent circular letter to the German clergy, offering to buy all the church bells in Germany and forward them to the army.
 The general commanding at Bran benburg immediately prohibited the firm from circularizing the clergy for this purpose, and issued another cir cuiar letter to the clergy, warning them not to deal with private firms, but to apply direct to the army head p ausffers.

IMPERIAL BANK OF GERMANY
 DID TREMENOOU BUSINESS

BERLIN, May 2. - The business of the Imperial Bank of Germany in 1915 was much larger than ever be fore, owing chiefly to large transac- tions for government account. The turnover reached the stupendous to- tai of $231 $50 100000 which compares with $124OOO, ,OO0OO0 for 1914, and $1OO, ,OOO.OOO,OO for 1913, In other words, the business of the bank has considerably more than doubled since the war began.
 The earnings were also far in ex- cess of all previous years. They amounted to $65, 100000, or more than twice those of 1914 According to a law recently passed, special war tax was laid upon the Imperial Bank, in addition to the large proportion of the earnings falling to the treasury under older laws. Thus, the treasury gets 47,500.000 of the earnings, whereas the stockholders get only $3,S40,000, or somewhat less than for 1914,
