at her and looked toward Seagrue. His
face stretched into one of his hollow
grins.

to open the safe.
Upstairs, Helen, in slumber, was
half-awakened by a whistle signal.
Storm was. bringing a freight train
down the hill to wait for the midnight
flyer. The rumble of passing trains
rarely disturbed her, This night a
much lighter but an unusual sound
woke her completely. She sat up a
moment, listening. 1t seemed close
someone was in the house. Turning
ON a light and dressing hastily, Helen
opened the hall door of her room.
She had been careful MOTTO make
the slightest noise in her movements.
Unfortunately the light behind her sill
houetted her figure on the floor at the
foot of the broad flight Of stairs
Spike, keen-eyed, in the library, saw
it. He touched Hyde. "Douse it,"
he muttered. Hoyde extinguished the
light. The two paused, listened. walked
into the hall and paused again. Then
they started noiselessly up the stairs.
Guarded as they had been, Helen
felt their presence. With fast-beating
heart she ran to her window. Out in
the night she could see the light Of

ried as he worked around his en-

bell she ran out on her balcony and

that connected with the main line

The engineman, busy with his work,
presently heard the slight jingle, but
only to wonder for a moment what
it could be-. The two criminals had
entered Helen's room. The instant
she stepped in from the balcony they
caught and overpowered her-stifled
her screams, and in spite Of her con-
tinuing struggles, ,rudely gagged her.

WIN Start Canvas for Money 10 Put
on the Maysville Tobacco Fair and
Corn Show on November 20,
"a and 2j.

A meeting of the Board Of Directors
of the Chamber OF Commerce was held
In the First Standard Bank last night
to talk over plans for the coming To-
bacco Fair and Corn Show. The direc-
tors seemed very pleased with the
work already done by the Special
Events Committee.
The Committee on Finance for the

committee will be subdivided into four
groups who will canvas the town for
money in order to conduct a success
full fair. The city has been divided In
to four districts, from Sutton street
west, from Sutton to Market, from
Market to Limestone Creek and fror'
Limestone Creek eastward. They Will
begin their campaign on next Monday
morning and will push 1t until enough
money has been obtained to put on ii
successful fair. The amount needed
will be between $500 and $4,000 which
the committee is expecting to get cas-
lily. The merchants should be ready to
receive the committee when they call
and to subscribe as literally as posi-
BILE. The more money obtained will
mean that the fair will be a greater
success.
Mr.. A. M. January was appointed as
chairman of the committee to look af-
ter the various displays and booths to
be placed in the warehouse, He will
look after position of each display and
all other matters pertaining to the ar
rangement of the interior of the ware
house
Mr.. c. r. Dietrich was appointed as
chairman of the Publicity Committee
and he will see to the advertising Of

From the start the plans for the fair
are making it seems that II will be en-
tirely successful in every particular.
Enthusiasm is rapidly growing and the
lookout is that Maysville will have one
of the most successful fairs in the
