Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1916-05-12

chested detonations of the exhaust and
the mad, blatant>yowling OF the warn
ing hideous clamor echoed and re-
echoed in that quiet street-a racket
in which the report Of a revOlver-shot
was drowned out and went unnoticed:
Lanyard himself might have been I'M
aware Of it had he not caught, out of
that spat out at him like flaming SER
pent's tongue, and heard the crash Of
the window behind him falling inward,
shattered.
That the shot had no immediate sue
cessor was due almost wholly to Lam
yards instant and instructive action.
Even before the clash of broken
glass registered on his consciousness,
he threw in the high speed and shot
away like frightened greyhound.
So sudden was this move that it
caught De Morbihan himself unpre-
pared. In an instant Lanyard had ten
Yards lead. In another he was spin
ming ON two wheels round an acute
corner into the Rue Jean Goujon; and
in a third, as he shot through that
short block to the Avenue d'Antin. had
increased his lead to fifteen yards. But
he could never hope to better that
rather the contrary. The pursuer was
the more powerful car, and captained,
to boot, by one reputed to be the most
daring and skillful motorist in France.
AS he swung from the Avenue dan
tin into the Rond Point des Champs
Elysees, the nose of the pursuing car
inched up, snoring, on his right, eff
fectually preventing any attempt to
strike off toward the east, to the boule-
wards and the center Of the city's night
life. He had no choice but to fly west
ward.
He cut an arc round the sexpartite
park of the Rond Point that lost no
inch of advantage, and Strengthened
out up the Avenues des Champs-Ely-
sees for the Place de l'Etoile, shooting
madly in and out through the tide Of
more leisurely traffic. And ever tbs

in anticipation, escaped injury and eff
fected instant recovery.
The car of the Apaches was upon
him in a pulse beat. With no least
warning Of his intention, De Morbihan
had no. time to employ brakes. Lam
windows of his cab and heard a shout
Of triumph. Then, with all his might,
he flung the heavy cushion across that
scant 81 ace, directly into the face Of
De Morbihan.
1t flew straight and true.
In alarm, unable to comprehend the
nature of that great, dark, whirling
mass, De Morbihan attempted to lift
a warding elbow. He was too slow
the cushion caught him full force on
the side of the head, and before he
could recover or guess what he was
doing, he had twisted the wheel sharp
ly to the right.
The car, running at little less than
locomotive speed, shot like d projectile
from lannon's mouth across that
strip of sidewalk, caught its right fore
wheel against a sapling, swung heavily
broadside to the drive, and turned
completely over as it shot down the
gentle slope to the lake.
The terrific crash of this catastrophe
was followed by hideous chorus Of
oaths, shrieks. cries and groans.
Promptly Lanyard started his motor
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1916-05-12

motor OF the touring car purred e5n-
lentelly Just at his elbow.
If there were police about, Lanyard
saw nothing of them-not that he
would hare dreamed of stopping or
even of checking speed for anything
less than an immovable barrier.
But as the minutes sped it became
apparent that there was to be no re-
newed attempt upon his life for the
time being. The pursuers could afford
to wait. And it came then to Lanyard
that he drove no more alone. Death
rode with him, his passenger.
Only when in full course for the
Porte Dauphine did he appreciate De
Morbihan's design. He was to be
rushed out into the midnight solitudes
of the Bots de Boulogne and there run
down and slain out of hand.
Now and again glances over his
shoulder showed him no change in the
gap between his own and the car Of
the assassins. But his motor ran
sweet and true-humoring it, coaxing
it, he contrived little longer to hold
his own
Approaching the Porte Dauphine, he
became aware of two sergents de vile
standing in the middle of the way and
wildly waving their arms. He held on
toward them relentlessly-it was their
lives or his-and they leaped aside
barely in time to save themselves.
And as he slipped into the park like
| hunted shadow he fancied that he
heard the sound Of pistol shot
| whether directed at himself by the
Apaches, or fired by the police to lend
emphasis to their indignation, he
couldn't say.
Bending low over the wheel, search
| ing with anxious eyes the, Swallowed
reaches of that winding drive, he
steered for time with one hand. while
with the other he tore open his ulster
and brought his pistol into readiness
Topping the brow of the incline, he
heard above the whine of his motor
| the sharp clatter of a horses hoofs
and surmised that at last the police
had given chase.
| And then, on a slight down grade
though he took it at perilous speed and
seemed vertically to ride the wind, the
pursuing machine, aided by its great,
err weight, began to close in still more
rapidly. Momentarily the hoarse roar
| ing of it's motor sounded more loud
and menacing. It became mere ques
ton of seconds.
Then inspiration Of despair came to
him, as wild as any that was ever
| conceived by brain Of man.
They approached point where a
dense plantation walled the road on
| the left. To the right, a wide footwalk
of asphalt separated the drive from q
/ gentle declivity, sown with saplings
running down to the lake.
Rising in his place, Lanyard slipped
from under him the heavy waterproof
cushion that fitted the seat.
Then, edging ever to the left of the
middle of the road, abruptly he shut
! off power and applied the brakes with
all his might.
From it's terrific speed the taxicat
came to a stop almost within its
length.
Lanyard was thrown forward
against the wheel. but having braced

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Meeting by the Safe.

Meeting by the oaIe'
1t was a sound so slight, so very
small and still, that only supersubtle
sense of hearing could have distin-
guished it from the confused multiple
ity of almost inaudible, interviewer
sounds, that go to make the slumber-
GUS quiet by night of that essentially
animate organism, the human habita-
ton.
Lanyard, whose training had taught
him how to listen, had early learned
that the nocturnal hush of one Louise
is to be differentiated from that Of an
other as readily as the respiration OF
two sleepers may be Disseminated. He
knew that every house had its singu-
lar cadence, it's own gentle movement
of muted but harmonious sounds
wherein the introduction Of alien
sounds produced instant discord.
Now, in the muted voice of this vast
mansion, he had detected little flut'
ter of discordance, sounding a note of
stealth-such note as no move of his
own since entering had evoked.
And while Lanyard stood at alert at
tention the sound was repeated from .
point less distant. This new intruder
was moving through the salons to the
library.
In two swift strides Lanyard left the
shelter of the screen and ensconced
himself in the recess of one of the tail
windows, behind its heavy velvet hang
ings.
That movement could have been
timed no more precisely had it been
rehearsed. He was barely in hiding
when shape of shadow slipped into
the library, paused beside the massive
desk and raked the room with pow
erful flash-lamp.
It's initial glare struck full and
dazzlingly into Lanyard's eyes as he
peered through a narrow opening in
the portiere.
When at length his vision cleared
the other was kneeling in turn before
the safe-or rather, rising from q
kneeling position there, for more light
was needed, and this one, lacking the
patience of his studious caution,
turned back to the desk, seized the
electric reading lamp and transferred
it to the floor between the safe and the
screen.
But even before she had put down
the lamp Lanyard had recognized the
woman; before the swift food of light
followed the dull click of the switch
he knew that she was Lucy Shannon.
He felt dazed. half-stunned, suffocat-
ed-much as he had felt with Greggs'
fingers tightening on his windpipe that
week-old night at Troyon's.
For an instant he experienced real
difficulty about breathing and was
conscious of sickish throbbing in his
temples, while the pounding in his
bosom was as the tolling of a great
bell. He stared, swaying like q man
who has been struck heavy blow.
In one breath he swore it could not,
and knew it must, be she.

slowly and more deeply, his set lips
parted and through them a profound
sigh escaped, whispering through the
Stiffness.
A great WEAKNESS was upon him as
he rose slowly and heavily from the
floor and stood erect, no longer the
slave of self, but its master, free at
last and for all time from that ancient
evil which so long had held his soul IA
bondage.
And then, in that moment of victory.
through the deep hush reigning in that
house, he heard the sound of an incau-
tious football ON the parquetry of the
hallway.

Makes PLEA FOR

At HOME" SPIRIT

The buy-at-home movement In
Montgomery, Ala, is attracting Wlde
attention and meeting with a hearty
endorsement from everyone. Inc
club women of Montgomery, how
ever. have done more than given
their hearty endorsement; they have
nromised to set an example to each
other. and to others, by buying pro-
ducts at home instead of sending 10
soraien markets for them This is as
II should be, and the club women OF
akeland, and Florida generally,
could not do their town better turn
nor make more progressive move
along the line of civic development
than to give hearty endorsement to
the buy-at- home campaign which is
now being carried on.
Money made in Lakeland should DC
spent in Lakeland, and even those
who live away from home appreci-
ate the spirit of the buy-at-homc
movement and what it means TO the

SUNNY JIM TRAIN KILLS
AGED WHITE MAN THURSDAY

On it's way south Thursday morn
ing Sunny Jim train killed an aged
white man, some three miles below
here. From indications and the re-
port given by man left off the train
to stay with the body until authori-
ties from here could get there, the
old fellow was tired and sat on the
end of cross tie to rest and was
either deaf or asleep, it being stated
the engineer blew at him, be that as
1t may, he was in easy sight for al
least a quarter of a mile. From
where it appears the body was first
hit and from where the bulk of il
lay, the train must not have slowed
down until the man was hit, his
head was terribly mutilated, his
brain in one place, his liver in an
other, part of his entestines still IL
another. His pack was scattered
and, showed to contain few clear
clothes, new pair of cheap shoes
the ones he was wearing were ole
andsragged, beside these he had al
over coat No letters, papers or any
thing could be found whereby de
ceased could be identified. The man
from appearances, was at least sixty
five years of age, perhaps more, ant
lit does seem to us the engines
should have stopped his train, h
stops for cows and horses and surel
mans life. even an aged tramps
is to be considered as much as a Gov
or horse Inverness Chronicle.

THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY REACHING kcRIsis;
DUTY OF DEMOCRATS

The Democratic party of Florida is
nearing a more serious crisis than
that which it confronted when the
brilliant Frank Pope ran for COVER
nor on an independent ticket.
Frank Pope was native. He
was a member of distinguished
family. He was gifted with rare
talents. He was fluent and capti-
waiting speaker. He was strong.
forceful and logical. AS member of
the bar he stood the peer of any
lawyer in the State.
Though numbering his friends by
the thousands they felt that they
would not sacrifice the party-owing
to the peculiar condition of the af-
fairs in the south to crafty Mr..
Popes ambition or the ambition Of
any other man.
Mr.. Pope lost out. The members
of the Democratic party stood loyal
| to the organization He lost his
standing in the party ever after
wards, as the friends did who stood
by him.
The Democratic party in Florida
| faces another and yet more serious
crisis, yet it is entirely undeserved.
The party was never in better
shape than it is today. It's record is
clean in State and nation.
Capt. John d.. Inglis, noted for his
Iloyalty and patriotism, is not alone
in saying that Woodrow Wilson us
the best president that we have had
since George Washington.
Yet the forces behind Mr.. Cats
are trying to defeat Mr.. Woodrow
Wilson. Mr.. Cats gets his name on
the official ballot by being certified
by the prohibition party of Florida,
who, while endorsing some of the
democratic candidates have failed to
endorse the Woodrow Wilson presi-
Dental electors.
Here lies the milk in the cccoanut
And what has brought about all
this "rucus" in the party lines? All
because of the hosting of the "pope's
; yellow flag" on our battleships, when
lin truth and in fact the pope has
not had a flag of any sort since ne
lost his temporal power, and that
was before men no older than Mr.. J
