front. It gives two reasons why these
successes should not be overrated:
First, the possible perils of Roumania,
to whom it is difficult to furnish direct
help.
Second, the failure of the allies to
sever the German road to the east, the
creation of which was the principle OBJ
ject for which Germany went to war.
The paper adds: '"The only way to
form just estimate of the course Of the
war is to examine it as a whole, and to
take calm and balanced views.
Mr.. Carl w. Alderman, United Press
Staff Correspondent of The Chicago
Evenimg Post, writing from The Hague
on September II, stated that during the
previous few days he had been in Copen-
hagen, Berlin, The Hague, and Rotter-
dam, and speaks of the wide chasm of
opinion between the contending parties
He says that Copenhagen, which is ire
mendously anti-German, believes that
Germany is about to fall to pieces, and
that there are reports of unrest, star
walton, depression, and lack Of soldiers
in that country On the other hand, the
Danes believe that the allies offensive
on the Somme, in Russia, in Galcia and
Hungary, is having great success. They
cannot understand, however, why the
much talked of revolution" in Germany
doesn't begin. At the same time, no
one pays any attention to the German
victory in Roumania.
Mr.. Alderman says that in Berlin
there is some depression, some pessi-
mism, but the faith in the ability in the
army to hold out has not been shaken.
He says that every one in Germany
keeps maps of the battle fronts, and
watches the progress of the fighting
closely.
The Berlin newspapers emphasize the
shortage of British tonnage and declare
that food prices have advanced as much
in England as in Berlin. They also be-
lieve that France has exhausted her re-
! serve and her army is weakening daily
more than any other army
The Germans point to enormous losses
OF the allies on the western front, and
while admitting that their own losses
are heavy, declare that they can hold
out until the allies get enough Of it.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER S. 1916.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-05-26

Before another hour slipped by, how
ever, Manley made two further dis
coveries. The first was that the ap-
pointed time for the coup had been
suddenly changed to an hour earlier.
The second was that the trap for Lee
gar was not to be set along the wood
ed road leading up to the clubhouse OF
the Greenoch golf links, as first decid-
ed upon. But Margery Golden was to
motor alone to the west end of the
turnpike bridge and there encounter
her old-time enemy of the Iron Claw.
And the police, Da Espares assured
her, had been duly warned as to the
change of location.
Manley, on overhearing that declara-
ton. promptly called UP headquarters
and made the startling discovery that
no such message had gone in to the
authorities there.
In five minutes he was in his own
car, Fastening to a conference with
central office ITSELF In another five
minutes, on learning from Wilson
over the wire that Da Espares and
Margery had already left the house in
the limousine, Manley had his car
filled with armed plain-clothes men
from the central Office and was speed
ing out through the city as fast as
motor could carry him. AS they swept
up the dusty approach to the bridge
they even saw that they were none
too soon.
For already, in the bright afternoon
sunlight, they could make out a glim-
mering limousine as it came to stop
at the end of the bridge. They could
see a somewhat hesitating and white
faced girl step from this limousine at
the same moment that they caught
sight of group of men emerge quick
ly from the shrubbery at the end of
the bridge itself
These men, spreading out fanlike.
swept past the limousine in which Da
Espares and the chauffeur were still
seated. Four of them, rounding the
car, cut off the girls avenue of retreat.
Another four advanced on her from
the bridge-end, at the same time that
a fifth man leaped to the running
board and started to struggle with the
chauffeur.
Even as he stared at that quickly
shifting scene Manley could make out
the figure of Legar himself. He could
see the Iron Claw reach out for the
startled figure of the girl, crouched
back against the bridge railing, even
as his own car-wheels leaped from the
approach to the bridge timbers them
selves. He could also make out Da
Espares' sudden leap from the waiting
limousine. Manley, on beholding this,
gave a cry of warning to the plain

took advantage of the high esteem in
which he momentarily stood to push
through to completion certain arrange
ments for the costume ball on which
he seemed to have set his heart.
Knowing what he knew, the secre-
tary still regarded that impending
function as a danger in disguise. just
as he still nursed very substantial
doubts as to the actual death of Legar.
So fixed was Manley in his suspi-
cions, however that he insisted on a
conference with Enoch Golden him
self From that conference he wrung
small consolation for his suspicious.
and even scantier encouragement for
his apprehensions. 1t was true, Golden
admitted, that the work on his newly
| installed vault was not completed.
But he had caused his daughter
enough. trouble in her day, he also
protested, without notifying the girl
| by countermanding the orders which
already showed every sign of turning
| his home into a second Eden Musee.
| And foreigners were mostly fools, he
admitted, but because this young
| jackanapes of a count had proved him
self a finished hand with the ladies'
was no reason why he shouldn't get a
fair deal for downing a crook like
Legar.
"But tell you don't believe Legar
is downed!" was Manley's passionate
ly repeated protest. Il don't believe
Da Espares shot him. or even tried to
| shoot him!"
well, he certainly went into that
river and went under, and unless tho
! mans a skip-jack and a sawfish
| rolled in one, he's still there! For
that police captain and six of his men
saw him go there"
And that seemed to end the matter
as far as the acrimonious old million
| aire was concerned. Manley, In fact,
had given up any hope of further ar
| gument on the question. when trivial
yet disquieting incident occurred, and
in occurring brought about a slight
change in Enoch Golden's attitude.
This incident involved the receipt Of
strange missive bearing the sigma
ture of that elusive interloper in the
affairs Of the house Of Golden known
as the Laughing Mask. 1t read as
follows:
Count Luigi Da Espares Is not only
an lmpostor, but also your enemy. And
as a friend herewith warn you that
he is not to be trusted.
Even this epistle, which bore only
the emblem Of Laughing Mask for
signature, might have been accepted
as of no great Importance, had not
Enoch Golden been the recipient of
still another communication. This
! time it was telephone message from

JUDGE PAINTS HORRORS
Condemned Man Finds Something
Different in Prison Life From
What Jurist Had Promised
When Delivering Sentence.

Chicago.-Six years ago Joseph Well
come, confessed murderer, was sem
fenced to life Imprisonment. That
he might feel the full horror Of his
fate the judge told him of the terrors
that awaited him. He had killed a
woman.
1.-THE instructive unreasoning horror
of mankind regards death as severe
punishment" said the Judge. You
are now to receive a sterner punish
ment. Your victim died but once. You
will die a hundred times. You will
be wiped out of human knowledge.
Henceforth you will be known only byI
a number. You will have no right
except only the right Of mere exist
ence.
I'm four or five years the eternal
solitude and silence will begin to crush
in upon you like an iron weight. You
hear that street car bell ringing in the
street? You will remember it in after
years as the most exquisite music.
There will be few worse men than you
| in that great prison, but the law has
| taken its full and ample revenge upon
you"
Mrs. Sarah Welcome has just sued
for divorce from the man in Joliet
penitentiary. The bare notice recalled
the judges stern decree six years ago,
and reporter journeyed to Joliet to
see Welcome and discover if life In
prison had crushed the man who muir
dered The prison authorities are in

At Peace With the World.
Down the corridor sounded the
cheerful whistle of man at peace
| with the world. Then came the light
step on the stone tagging. Through
the doorway stepped a man of thirty
two years, dressed in the homely gray
garb of tho prison.
"How do you find life in PRISON."
asked the reporter. You have been
here almost six years now"

have in mind the statement made by
the judge when he sentenced me-"
He paused and reflected a moment.

with the Judge" he went on. 81 would

plainly see the CLINT of revolver in
Da Espares' hand. But Da Espares,
as that car of deliverance Numbered
on across the bridge, did not turn to
face it. Instead, he fought his way
through the circle of burly figures sur
rounding Margery Golden. He fought
and shouldered his way through to
the side of the girl even as Legar
reached for her shrinking body. He
struck blindly at that outstretched
arm, struck still again at Legar's face,
at the same moment that Manley's car
shuddered to stop and the armed
men from its tonneau leaped into the
fight.
1t was brief fight, but bitter one,
and much of it escaped Manley's at
tention. The one thing that held him
transfixed was the sudden vision Of
Da Espares lodging through the iron
Orders in sudden pursuit of Legar, as
the latter, breaking free from his ene-
mics, ran to the opposite side of the
bridge. There, seeing retreat on Ell
Their quarter already cut off, that mas
ter criminal nimbly mounted the iron
railing and gave one glance towards
the water below him. Yet, as he poised
there, ready to leap, Da Espares iev-
eled his weapon and fred.
Hanley could hear the shrill scream
of the girl, and the shouts Of the star
tied men, the great splash of the tum-
bling body as it catapulted down in
the black-running water. The next
moment the captain and his uni
formed squad from the Greenock
clubhouse were charging across the
bridge, joining in with their plain
clothes colleagues already forcing the
last of Legar's adherents to flight. And
as Manley made his way toward the
glimmering limousine and Margery
Golden he could hear the latter's nerv-
Gus sobs as she leaned weakly against
the bridge railing and wept.
did you kill him?" she asked with
voice tremulous with horror as Da
Espares stepped to her side.

ter's Quiet-toned reply. HE sank at
once. And this time he will never
return"
ooh, it's terrible!" quavered the
overtaxed girl.
Terrible, indeed" softly acqui-
esced the man at her side. "But for
the sake Of your happiness I would
venture many things more terrible!"
