Carefully he removed a bundle
of papers neatly tied together.
And one of them, as Ethel Cart

out for her sisters arrest. She
wondered why DENLY had invited
inspection of them, but was not
long to remain in doubt.

But before he had unfolded

were snatched violently from his

Taylor, was backing to the door.

CHAPTER X.
On the Rack,

When the reused household fol-
lowed the butler into DENLY S
room they were appalled, at what
they could not see but heard with
out difficulty. While they who
owned the house stood helpless,
Lambart turned on the lights.
The sudden glare showed Dem

that he fell with a thud to the
floor.
Then they saw DENLY pick up a
revolver that was lying by the
strangers side.

Michael, while Lambart busted
himself with making the room
tidy and replacing overturned
chairs.
"This man," said DENLY, still
painting from his efforts, tried
to break in, and Miss Cartwright

HOW Splenulu OF you! ALICE
cried. "Ethel, you're a heroine,
my dear"
Taylor, who had not been put
out by the blow, scrambled to his
feet and was pushed into a chair.

agent of the United States customs

That's a pretty poor bluff,
DENLY scoffed. This porch

Absurd" he sneered. "You

I'm absurd"
Instantly they all centered their
gaze on Ethel. For a second she
looked at him blankly. 81 never

them.
"You didn't, eh?" Taylor cried,
after a pause of sheer astonish-
ment. 81 guess you'll remember

could reach for it had hurled ii

alarm a few feet distant.
There was a smashing of glass
and then the turning off of light.
And in the gloom, during which
Taylor thrashed about him wildly,
there came from all parts of the
house the steady peal of the cleo
trical alarms newly set in motion.
And last of all there was the
report of the revolver and wo-
mans shrek and the falling of a
heavy body on the floor, and then
a silence.

For moment she forgot
about everything but the personal

to compromise her reputation
awakened the bitterest contempt
for him.

Then, when he let her go, she

And when ii seemed she must
sob out confession of those COM

together.

IS Being FORMED
IN GREEK CAPITAL
Former Premier Gounaris
Said to Be Head of Latest
Entente Movement.

Paris, Oct. ga new political par
ty favoring intervention in the war on
the side of the allies is being formed
in Greece by Dematrios Gounaris, for
mer premier, according to an Athens
Havas dispatch, which adds that the
movement is meeting with favorable
reception.
Dispatches from Peloponnesus re-
ports widespread demonstrations there
against the anti-Venizelist movement.
Dematrios Gounaris headed a Greek
cabinet which was formed in March,
1915. He was defeated by the Van
izelists in the following June, and the
cabinet resigned two months ago.
Gounaris subsequently served as min
lister of the interior in the Skouloudis
cabinet, and the fall of that admins
tration was said to be largely due to
the opposition of the entente to Gou-
naris, who has generally been cred.
tied with unfriendly feelings towards
the allies.

Loaded Vehicle Runs Away
Down Hill and Causes
Bridge to Collapse.

Cleveland, Oct. 3.-At least two
were killed and 80 badly hurt here
late today in a collision between IT,
street cars on the West Third street
bridge. The force of the impact
caused the bridge to collapse and the
cars to fall thirty feet to the tracks
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and come near rolling into the Cuya-
hoga river.
Two bodies had been recovered ear
iy tonight and several other dead are
believed to be in the wreckage. There
were 40 persons on one car and 20
on the other, and it was at first be-
lieved the death list would reach so.
The accident occurred when south
bound car, carrying crowd of wo-
man shoppers home at the rush hour,
broke away from it's motorman on a
hill and tore down upon the bridge
just as a northbound car reached the
same point The runaway car jumped
the track, and struck the northbound
car. The weight of the two cars and
the shock of the collision. was too
much for the wooden bridge. which
collapsed.

Little Rock, Oct. 3.-The funeral of
Senator James P. Clarke was held
this afternoon, and was largely at
tended. The offices at the state cap
itol were closed all day out of respect
to his memory.
There is much speculation and con-
lecture as to the filling Of the vac
ancy. The discovery that Governor
Hays has no power under the seven
teenth amendment to make temper
airy appointment, gives rise to the
question of when the election can be
held. Without primary, several eli
gible and receptive candidates might
run, and it would be possible for a
Republican to walk off with the plum.
About all that is positive in the whole
situation at the present time is in

Judge W: F. Caraway, 'Smead Pow

those most prominently mentioned in
connection with the place.
