LACE FOLLOWERS FROM CONTROL OF ORGANIZATION

TO be a bitter contest between the
progressive faction of the party,
headed by Governor Lister, and the
Wallace-Fogarty faction, generally
lrtyled as conservatives, standpatters
and reactionaries.
The purpose of the fight is, first
of all, to destroy National Commit
teeman Hugh c. Wallace's influence
at Washington, and then to build up
a Democratic organization in this
state that will be controlled by the
progressive or liberal, or advanced,
or plain, common Lister element.
1t goes without saying that the
men leading the anti-Fogarty fight
intend to make Governor Ernest Lis
ter their leader, whether through
active cooperation or by tacit con-
sent to the use Of his name.

George Turn is declared to have
pledged himself to aid the contro-
versy. In any event it has been
made plain that he has come to real

of the Listerites. Now that the cam

at once it settled into steady pull

For a second or two longer he paid
out the rope; but the persistent pull
did not lessen. The seconds sped on.
Suddenly the strain relaxed and he be-

she was coming back!

He was stunned, stupefied. A noise

his throat. The seconds were golden

Fifty-ffty-fv two min

Hazard cooked an interrogative eye

wild, fantastic, Unavoidable ideas that
must be grappled with and resolved to
a comprehensive theory.
What he saw was a wall of rock
with a broad ledge running athwart
its face. The ledge was perhaps
twenty feet above his head, and con-
sequently more than dozen or so feet
below the surface.
What he felt was a strong current
or undertow whose tendency was to
draw everything within a certain ra-
dius toward the ledge.
Late that afternoon a tall, graceful,
strikingly pretty girl alighted from a
train and was met by Felix Hazard
at the station. Her eyes were large
and gray and steady, and they lighted
up wonderfully at sight of the lanky,
lean-visaged detective.
AS FOR Hazard, his usually stern lin
eaments softened perceptibly as he
fastened forward to meet her.
"Tired?" he asked, relieving her of
her bag.
''Tired!" she exclaimed. "Why, this
is just the beginning of holiday
jaunt-isn't it,"
II hope So" His tone was serious.
"Of course I wouldn't have sent for
you if I hadn't needed you"

amended; you might have thought
you needed me-

Good! But you won't need it till

Helen Bertel ostensibly was simply
a stenographer at the Sutherland
agency's principal Offices; as matter
Of fact she was one of their most
valued operatives.
He recounted for her benefit his
tory of the case, and also his expert
ences since coming to Mackinaw.
"Would you be afraid to try to ex-
anime the ledger" he asked.
"Why, of course not came the
prompt response, Especially if you are
to be close by. Examining lodges in
the depths of Lake Michigan is the
best thing do.
Here's what I'll need; A knife, a
ffty-pound weight that can fasten to
one foot in such a way that I can in
stantly release myself from it'll
want my arms free, you know-and an
electric torch that can use under wa

Every we'll. I've arranged with the
sheriff for him and couple of his dep
uties to be on Pigeon island tonight
to watch the hut, and to be In readl-
ness to come to our assistance in case
we should need them. Let's 60 and
get some supper.
The night was moonless, but clear
and starlit. AS Hazards little craft
drifted slowly before the impulse OF a
light breeze, he trailed line over the
bow to which was attached a weight.
Little by little, as the rocky bottom
fell away, he paid out the line; then
all at once the plummet went down
abruptly and stopped. A few minutes
more he devoted to sounding, and
again the weight dropped abruptly.
Here we are!" he announced, quiet
ly easing over the side heavy stone
to which a stouter line was made fast.
This was their anchor. Helen came for

| particularly noting the slant of the

thwart the electric torch, a long
bladed hunting-knife and a leaden
weight to which was attached a loop
fashioned from a strip of canvas.

She hung the torch around her neck
by a cord; to her waist she fastened
an end of line; then picking up the

stood poised at the gunwale like

without a sound, the waters closed

Upon his arrival at Mackinaw, Fe-
self known to the overseer Of the div
ing crew, young man of the name
of Fowler. He wanted first to map out
the lay of the land-Or, to be more pre-
else, the Water-and to discover for
himself whatever might be discovered.
Some twenty-five miles more or less
west of Mackinaw lies a group of is
lands of which Beaver island is the
largest and Pigeon island is perhaps
the smallest. 1t was not more than a
cables length off the rocky, pine
crowned shore of the last named is
land, and almost exactly on line with
st. Ignace to the northeast, that Perky
and his precious freight went down.
The detective was informed by a
5oatman that Hog island was the div
ing crews base of operations.
"Why not Pigeon island?" he asked.
Its nearer, isn't it, to where the man
sank?" (The real aim of the diving
operations was disguised behind an ad-
yertised purpose to recover Mr..
Perky's body)
YES" the informant ackno wledged;
but Pigeon island doesn't offer as
good a harbor for their barge. This
season of the year the prevailing
southwest and west winds pile up the
lake and make treacherous currents
among the islands and half submerged
rocks. Hog islands safest and not
much farther away
All at once Hazard became aware
that a passer-by had halted close be-
side him and the boatman, as If his at
tention had been arrested by some
thing he had overheard, and then
hurried on.
Who's that?" Hazard demanded.
The boatman gaped after the depart

Pigeon island comprised a rough, ir-

dred acres Except where sheer walls
Of rock and here and there tiny
stretch Of sandy beach presented bar
riers to the lake, the entire expanse
was densely wooded TO Hazard, who
had cautiously circumnavigated it, it
seemed uninhabited.
The explorer had been warned
against the danger from submerged
rocks on the north side, and he dared
not to go too close until he knew
more of these strange waters; the
south side offered no landing place
against which he was willing to pit
his inexperience, so he contented him
self with a long-range inspection or
the wooded irregularities Of the is
lands surface through pair OF high
power binoculars.
Not a sign of life could he detect.
After a while he pointed his boats

He snatched up his binoculars and
brought them to bear upon a figure
that stood upon a pinnacle of rock,
silhouetted against the azure OF the
sky.
1t was the doctor he had seen some
hours earlier at Mackinaw!
Once more laying aside his glasses,
he brought his boat about and again
made the circuit of Pigeon island,
with a view of discovering If pos
sible the craft in which the doctor had
come and where it was anchored.
BY and by he deserted it-or it's
stern, rather, for all the forepart of
the boat was hidden by tall slab Of
granite which, at a distance, blended
with and seemed a part of the I'M
broken shore line, but which in reality
effectively screened an opening to a
deep, quiet inlet and gently shelving
beach.
This much Felix Hazard made out,
and then his attention was roughly di-
verted. A sharp metallic click from
his engine made him look that way.

There was no ground for doubt;

with the keen incisiveness of a razor,

Loud and clear and high it rang in
a prolonged "Coo-oo-oo-ee-e-e-e!'
There was no mistaking that sweet
voice. It was Helen's!

 Locke's escape was due to the fact that he was absent from Minaca at the time Villa arrived. He was turning to the town when he heard firing and hid in the bushes. Soon afterward he saw some cavalrymen leaving the town with Villa himself at their head. Locke fled by night to Cusihucirachic where a friendly Mexican hid him in a cellar for two days Villa arrived later and searched the town for Americans. After he had gone, Locke sent the Mexican who had befriended him, to Minaca and the latter brought back the story of the massacre.
