TOM PATTERSON LEFT No DEsTs
No AppTaisement Necessary OF Late Sen
ator's Estate.

SO well had the late Senator Thomas
NJ Patterson managed his business af-
fairs that the administration OF his es-
tate will b. but a formal task. Richard
Crav ford Campbell. his sou-in-law, and
the administrator, convinced Judge Roth
gerber that it would not be necessary
even to aupraisc the estate.
Judge Rothgerber dispensed with this
formalitv, which has been very costly
one in the County court. 1t was shown
that the data left by the former senator
was 80 correct regarding his business af-
fairs that the first estimate. fixing the
value Of the estate at 81 ass ,cco, was so
near correct il would be unnecessary TO
appoint appraisers.
it was further shown that there Is
practically no bills nor charges against
the estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. The pro-
longed and veXatious negotiations be-
tween the unions in the catering indus
try and the revived San Francisco Res
taurant Keepers Association. came to an
open breach Monday evening Of last
week. when the unions obtained the sane
ton OF the executive committee OF the
Labor Council to picket n number of
establishments that have refused their
demands. The bad faith OF the asso-
citation in advertising all over the coun-
try for non-union help and denying the
business agents of the unions access to
their places Of business while the nego-
tiations were going or, led to the de-
termination OF the employees to hasten
a decision one way or the other.
The demands upon tn employers were
an eight-hour workday with straight
shifts for cooks and cooks helpers. and
eight within twelve for walters. also an
increase of one .dollar per week for

Thirteenth INSTALLMENT
BRANDED AS A THIEF

Lamar, in the midst of the sentence,
reeled dizzily. He would have fallen;
but for June's restraining arm. He
collapsed into the nearest chair.
In a few minutes he opened his eyes
and sat up straight, still somewhat
weak and shaky, but himself again.
And then he noticed that June was
standing above him once more, look
ing down at his haggard face with all
her soul in her big eyes.
The sight of her brought back to
Max the purpose of his visit to the
Travis house that day-a purpose that
his life-and-death grapple with "Smil-
ing Sam" Eagan had driven momen-
tari1y from his mind.
He found it strangely hard to say to
June what he had come to say.
Taking hold of his faltering resolu-
ton, Max prepared to get through
with the cruel ordeal as quickly as
possible.
He looked from Mrs. Travis to
Mary; then, hesitatingly, said:
II should very much like to speak
with Miss Travis alone for few min
utes, if you don't mind. You'll pardon
me, won't you, for asking it? It's very
important"
Mrs. Travis went through to the
veranda. But Mary fingered just out
side the library door and crouched
there, tremblingly listening.
Lamar, for an instant, gazed half
frowningly at the girl who awaited
the ordeal.
Whats the use?" he b1urted out, in
coherently, you can't know anything
about the Farwell theft-or any of the
rest of the Red Circle crookedness. /
know you don't. And l won't insult
you by asking you. Besides-you saved
my life. June, dear!"
Still too weak to trust himself on his
feet, he reached forward impulsively
and caught her hand in his as she
stood, startled, before him.
June did not try to draw away the
hand he held prisoner. She found her
self sinking to her knees beside La
mars chair. She no longer dared meet
the glow in his eyes lest she lose all
hold over her reserve and tell him of
her love.
Il love youi" Lamar was saying,
over and over. Il love you, June, my
sweetheart. Oh, love you'll"
The girls heart was beating madly.
''He loves me! He loves me! The
man l love loves mel"
She could not stir, she could not
speak. Kneeling there, her breath

g1ared around the ward. In the door
way stood nurse. Chatting with her
was one of the policemen who had car
ried Eagan to the hospital and who
had remained to get report on the
disabled prisoners condition.
Sam feebly beckoned to the nurse.
She came toward him. He muttered
disjointedly:
ct want to-see the chief of police.
Tell him-important. Red Circle,!"
He slumped back on the cot again
groggy with headache.
Chief Allen had had a busy morn
ing. Charles Gordon, the fugitive at
torney, had voluntarily given himself
up to Justice The chief had at once
sent word to Farwell. who had come
in haste to police headquarters, to con-
front the captive.
Gordon had been searched in Far
wells presence. But no trace of the
discriminating receipt could be found
on him. And, perforce, he had been
released for lack of evidence to hold
him.
The chief and Farwell were still
sitting in the formers office at head
quarters discussing the case when the
telephone buzZed.
"This is queer" remarked Allen as
he put back the receiver on the hook.
Smiling Sam Eagan was captured
by Lamar today at the Travis house.

hospital. And now he sends word he

What did you want to see me
about?" asked the chief.
What did want?" echoed Eagan.

pounding on the panels, Eagan thrust
his bare feet into his shoes, drew on
his trousers and bolted for the CORR
dor.
In the doorway he collided with a
doctor and an orderly, who were en-
tering the ward, the nurse at their
heels. Taken unprepared the two men
were not quick enough to stop the fugi-
tive He dashed past them, scattering
them to left and to right, and gained
the corridor.
And there-unfamilia with his sur
roundings started in the
wrong direction. Instead of going to-
ward the stairway, he ran the opposite
way. And presently he found himself
at the corridors farther end with an
open window behind him and with no
other means of escape.
Before he could look outward
through the open easement to learn at
The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1916-03-23

what height he might be from the
ground, the two pursuing men bore
down upon him. They seized him,
roughly, and at once they found they
had tackled man they could not sub
due.
Sam, tearing free, glanced about
for some weapon with whose aid he
could hammer his way past them and
to the distant stairs.
Close beside him on a desk was the
hall telephone. He caught up the
heavy instrument, wrenched it loose
from it's green cord and swung it
menacingly above his head.
The doctor and the orderly recoiled
before the wordless threat. But just
then new actor appeared on the
scene.
The pounding on the closet door had
attracted the nurse and she had re-
leased the imprisoned policeman. And
he came forward, at high speed, yearn-
ing to recapture the crook who had so
easily fooled him.
The patrolman was born fighter;
and, moreover, he was smarting for
revenge. Without seconds hesitation
he sprang at Eagan. Down went the
telephone instrument, swung with all
the brute strength Of Sans right arm.
The blow, fairly landing, would have
meant a fractured skull at the very
least.
But the patrolman had spent his boy
hood on the water front. He knew
every move in rough-and-tumble bar
room fight. And he was not to be
felled like stupid OK.
He charged at Eagan. Down crashed
the telephone. And, almost in midair,
the policeman checked his own ad-
vance; stepping swiftly backward. The
weapon, it's distance niscalculated,
whizzed harmlessly through the air,
cutting path fully six inches in front
of the bluecoat's face.
Before Sam could recover from that
smashing blow the policeman dived in
and grappled him. The doctor and the
orderly crowded forward to REINFORCE
