climax when all rose to the national
air
Captain Lumb as worshipful master
presided and introduced the speakers
who included w. M. Donaldson, Frank
B. Wickersham and Jesse E. b. Cum

frequent evidences of approval and
the talk of Mr.. Donaldson on the work
of the. Temple organization was re-
ceived with great favor and approval.
In the preliminary exercises the ad-
dress of welcome was made by Charles

those present was Fred Beech wor-

Camp Hill. Quite a number of the
members of the baby lodge were also

Confer With Fire
Underwater Engineer
on Risks in City

Following survey of the city to-
day by automobile. an informal dis
cussion of the fire underwriting risks
was held at a luncheon at the Harris
burg Club by City Commissioner
Harry f. Bowman AID E. Il. Gross
superintendents of public safety and
parks and public property, Hender-
son Gilbert and II. l.. McColgln, of the
chamber of Commerce, and Chief En-
gineer Wheelock of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters.
The problems threshed out related
to the report on the fire risk recon-
mendations which had been made
several months ago by the national
board to city council.
Mr.. Bowman said that he and
Building Inspector j. IL. Grove are
collecting data for the new building
code. Similar statistics are being
compiled by Mr.. McColgin and a new
code will probably be revised from
all the data.

A servant announced that the
automobile was at the door and
In 15 minutes Mr.. Stapleton, Du-
vail and Mary Lanahan were
leaving the car at the spot in the
Bois de Boulogne which had
been the scene of the kidnapping.
Mary Lanahan led the others to
the place on the grass where she
had sat.
Ten days had elapsed since the
boy had been kidnapped. Yet Du-'
vail began to go over the ground
where the nurse testified that she
had sat, with the most minute
care.
Both Mr.. Stapleton and the
nurse grew tired of Watching
him, and strolled about aimless-
ly. Hence they did not see him
pick up a half-smoked cigaret,
dirty and almost falling to pieces
from the action of the weather,
yet held together by a slender
tip of gold.
He placed it carefully within

Upon their return to the house,
Duvall asked to have a word with
the nurse alone, before he left.

er. "Pll send her in to you"

CHAPTER Nv.

Next day Grace Duvall sailed
forth, determined to find out the
position occupied by Alphonse
Valentin in the affair of the kid
naping and the identity of the
man who had stolen the box of
cigarets.
An interview with Mary Lana
han, and a subsequent visit to the
scene Of the crime. told her
nothing she had not already
known. She had Mrs. Stapleton
bring in Francois, ostensibly to
question him about his part in
the affair. She saw at once he
was not the man who had broken
into Alphonse Valentin's room on
the night before.
Later that evening Grace was
strolling toward the Champs Ely
sees, lost in thought, when she
heard the soft throbbing of a
high-powered motor car behind
her.
Suddenly 1t stopped, almost
abreast of her, and a tall man
leaped to the sidewalk. Before
she could so much as glance in
his direction. he came swiftly up
behind her, threw his arm about
her neck, and choked her into
Inconsistencies.
When she returned to con-
seriousness, it was daylight. She
lay in a low-ceilinged little room,
the only furniture of which was
q small chest Of drawers and a
chair. Upon this chair sat large

"The-the child is safe?"
Perfectly. You shall see Tor

window.
Grace rose, and looked out. On
the tiny plat of grass in the gar
den sat a child-a little girl,
playing with a small black and
white spaniel.
Grace turned from the window.
bewildered. Il see nothing"
she said, except little girl"
That Is the child of Monsieur
Stapleton," the man said. Now
attend to the message.
Tell the boys father this: He
will leave his house tomorrow
evening, In his automobile, at
eight o'clock. He will bring with
him, in a package, five hundred
thousand francs one hundred
thousand dollars. He will have
with him no one but himself and
his chauffeur. He will leave
Paris by the Porte de Versailles,
and drive along the road to YER
sailles at a speed of twelve miles
an hour. Somewhere upon that
road, among the many automo-
biles that will pass him, will be
one from which blue light
will flash, as it approaches him.
1t will also slow up. He will toss
the package of bank notes into
that car and drive on. If the
package contains the sum of five
hundred thousand francs, he
will find his child at his house
upon his return. III not, or IL
these instructions are not carried
out to the letter-if there Is any
attempt made at pursuit-the
child will not be there. and you
can tell him that he will be given
but one more chance. After that,
the boy will die"
Grace listened, struck by the
ingenuity of the plan. A rapidly
moving automobile-one of a
hundred. An instant flash of a
blue light in passing-the tossing
into the car of the money-and
1t would speed away into the
darkness, beyond any hope of de-
lection.
How can Mr.. Stapleton know
that you will do as you say?"
The man shrugged his Shout
ders. THAT is a chance he must
take. II he does his part, shall
do mine"
| Very WE'LL" she said quietly,
II will take your message"
Good! You will not leave
here, of course. until 1t Is dark
tonight. Food will be sent in to
you at once. Good morning"
1t was close to ten o'clock that
night, as nearly as Grace could
Judge, when she was led a con-
siderable distance blindfolded. to
a closed automobile, and driven
away. After an interminab BILE
ride, the car suddenly stopped.
and she felt the man at her side
slip away from her and open the
door. Instantly she snatched the
bandage from her eyes. The man
had disappeared.
She stepped to the sidewalk,
and looked about. The man on
the box of the cab glanced down
at her. He was the heavily
bearded man whom she had seen
take the box of cigarets from the
room of Alphonse Valentin two
nights before.
Grace stood with the bandage
which had encircled her eyes, still
in one hand. Suddenly she saw
a dark figure uncoil itself from
the rear of the car and drop to
the pavement as the machine
started off. The man came up
to her, a smile upon his face. 1t

SIlhI
John Stapleton, accompanied
by Richard Duvall, arrived in
Paris early in the afternoon, and
went at once to the formers
house in the Avenue Kleber,
where Duvall was presented to
Mrs. Stapleton.
Duvall's first questions related
to Mary Lanahan, the nurse. He
was relieved to find she had quite
recovered from her sudden ILL
ness.
will you kindly have her
brought here, Mrs. Stapleton?"
he asked.
The nurse was an extremely
good-looking girl, smart and well
dressed. Duvall recognized in her
frank face, her clear blde eyes,
the same honesty which had i'm
pressed him during his interview
with Patrick Lanahan.

The Big Booze Battle

Next Monday, 10Th. at 10 O'Clock the
applicants for liquor licenses and the re.
m~onstrances against them will be heard
in Salem County Court, before Judge
E. C. Waddineton.
The applicants will contend that be-
cause much liquor is brought in it should
he sold in hotels and bottling houses
here and profits divided with the bor-
ough. II sold legally here there will not
he so many speakeasies, it is also con-
tended.
The dry side will contend that there
are hotels here to accommodate the trav-
cling public and that the selling Of liquors
which is legally an Incidental privilege
to it liz not necessary to accommodate the
travelling public. The law does not pro-
vide for licensing drinking saloons. A
large number who now have it in their
homes and buy it in speakeasies would
not go to the hotel to drink.
The great legal contest will be whether
a license can he granted within a mile OF
a Camp Meeting Association. Such a
law hindered selling of liquors rear Ocean
Grove and other camp meetings.
Prominent lawyers in the State will be
on both sides, and the battle for booze IN
Penns Grove to begin next Monday will
be one of the most lannon's in the State.
