Movement Started-Total Re-
oeipts, $s2s.es.

With a total of s.s27 pounds of old
papers to its credit. the johnson School
is leading all the others in the amount
of paper collected for the fund for
Fairgrounds and other social activities.
The total amount of paper collected so
far is 156.ss7 pounds. for which s923.6S

1t is expected that the ensuing week
will show a raise over last week in
the amounts of paper collected at the
various schools. Efforts are to be
made to have the schools which have
been bringing only small amounts try
to increase their scores. In some in
stances the schools average much less
than a pound per pupil for the entire
time since the collections were first
started. in accordance with the plan
suggested by The Star.

 Even as he stared at that quickly shifting 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 rail- ing, even as his own cart wheels leaped from the approach to the bridge timbers themselves. 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 plainly see the glint of revolver in Da Es- pares' hand.
 It was brief fight, but bitter one, and much of it escaped Manley's at- tention.
