"Get the facts down-and print
them,'' said Bruce. ''I'll stay here to
get more evidence if can. l don't
think they suspect us yet"
Stevens obeyed. But at the office of
his paper instead of being praised for
his enterprise in securing wonder
full story he was bitterly attacked by
his managing editor Stevens had not
known it hitherto, but his paper was
tool of the graft syndicate and was
preparing at that moment to launch a
bitter attack upon Bruce Larnigan.
The story Stevens turned in was torn
up. He himself was summarily dis
charged.
But that, as it turned out, was a
false move, for it only aroused the
fighting blood of Stevens. He went
from newspaper to newspaper, until
finally in the Office Of the Independent
he found an editor with courage
enough to face the consequences Of
defying the trust.
'They may smash u.s." he said, but
Larnigan Is in the right, and We'll
back him up. Well begin by printing
your story and putting you on our
staff. Go out and get as much more
stuff Of this sort as you can"
A new danger threatened, however,
for Stanford Stone had been in the Of
fee of Stevens paper talking to the
managing editor when the reporter
made his report. Unseen by Stevens,
he had heard everything and so knew
that Bruce, in disguise, was working
as laborer in the subway. At once
he saw chance to crush his enemy.
He went to Penrose, and the two con-
cocted a new scheme for Bruce's de-
struction.
Bruce, suspecting nothing, was pleas
ed by the praise that Kelly, ostensibly

Bruce grinned his thanks. He was
disposed to like Kelly and to believe
that the man did not understand the
rottenness of the work that was being
done. Kelly. as was afterward to APP

- RUCE LARNIGAN'S crushing
defeat Of the tenement house
trust, resulting in the murder
by the graft syndicate itself of
Anton Dow, who was about to give
Bruce evidence against the fifteen,
served to show Stanford Stone and the
remaining members of the graft syn
dicate that in Bruce they faced foe
far more dangerous to them than his
murdered father had ever been.
Stanford Stone, the secret head OF
the powerful graft syndicate, had de-
spised Bruce in the beginning. Now he
was beginning to fear him. And the
fact that he was in love with Dorothy
Maxwell, the girl who was Bruce's
fiancee, only increased his determine
ton to get rid Of Bruce.
It was impossible for Stanford Stone
to work i'll the open. 1t seemed to him
vitality important to hold secret his
own connection with the graft syndi-
cate. Even Bruce Larnigan was so far
from suspecting it that after the death
Of Anton Dow he confided many of his
plans for the future to Stone.
"Dow's death is unfortunate" he
told Stone "He was a villain, but he
was about to turn over new leaf.

GIRL IS DROWNED
 ASCANOE UPSETS IN THUNDERSTORM

New Preston, Aug. 25.-The body of
 Miss Helen l.. Hawley, of Hartford,
 who was drowned during the storm
 late "wednesday, atfer the canoe in which she was padding with Paul M. Smith, of West Haven, had been over-
 turned by very strong gust of wind, has been recovered.
 The craft was within 50 feet of the shore at the time. The upsetting of it was coincfdent with a terrific flash of lightnin. and a peal of thunder and 1t was for the moment thought that
 the bolt Ind struck the canoe. This
 was no so, however.
 A boat with two men in it put off from the shore and when within six feet of the canoe a rope was thrown to Miss Eawley and Smith but only
 the latter could be rescued. The body Of Miss Hawley was recovered after many hours search. It bore no marks
 to indicate that lightning had killed her.
 MT. Smith, who is treasurer of the
 Orange Bank, was resuscitated and
 except for nervousness is all right to- day. The acident occurred off the Carter cottage at Beemans Point.

MANY SPECTATORS AT WALKING RACE
 AT MYRTLE BEACH
Novel Contest Attracts Bridge pOrterS to Attractive Realty
 Development.

At the Myrtle Beach Park walking contest, held at the site of the new development yesterday, women proved to be more enthusiastic walkers than men, a large field of entries starting in the event. It was won by Miss Claire Goodwin, of White Plains, N. Y., in 5 minutes 22 seconds.
 The course was the short stretch of road leading from Myrtle Beach Park to the trolley tracks. and is said to be ideal for the purpose. Three prizes had been offered by the owners of the development to ascertain the quickest time in which various per- sons could walk to the trolley line.
 The mems walking race was won by James Mcfarland, of West Haven, in time of 4 minutes 51 seconds, straight walking, while for quick time, go-as-you-please, for boys only, time of minutes 1 second was es- tablished by G. L. Falihee, Of New York city.
 The starter was Charles F. Gernert of Bridgeport, the judge, J. F. Roach of Walnut Beach,
 Many humorous incidents occurred during the exciting period of contest. One stout lady, entered as a walker persisted in running the course, against the walking women. Thougn warned several times she finished in an exhausted condition, and upon De- ing disqualified for having ran the distance, failed to understand why prize was not awarded to her.
 Incidentally not a few persons were attracted to Myrtle, Beach Park, which is located short distance from the shore at Pole 107, Maple avenue. It is likely to become a popular building spot.
