BIG MOTOR PARADE
 MAKES A HIT IN BOROUGH
Webster Pow Wow, Delayed While Railroad Gates Are Down.

This town was invaded by troop up on troops of mOtOr-mOunted Indians, vintage of 1916, Thursday morning, from the land of UnCas and the Ko- nOmocs. As far as transportation ia Cilities were concerned they had it away over their predecessors of the war paint and tOmahawk days, and they seemed to be well aware Of this fact ,as their gaily decorated machines rolled along the route to the grand POwwow of Eastern Connecticut Chambers of Commerce at Webster lake.
 Danielson enjoyed the spectacle of the invading hosts. Under the direc- tion of Grand Sachem C.. w. Pearson of Norwich the parade hit the trail through DanielsOn exactly on sched- ule time to the minute-but the drop ping of the gates over the Main street railroad crossing just ahead of the pilot car held up the whole procession for about ten minutes, giving local tribesmen a. chance to size up the men from the south and to get line on what competition they were going to be up against at the banquet tables and on the baseball and athletic fields.

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 hve 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, Marley had his car
nlled 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.

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
fifth man leaped to the running
board and started to struggle with the
chauffeur.
Even as he stared at that quickly
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
clothes men about him. for he could |
