The batteries of heavy cannon which have been placed by the Aus trians in numerous foundations on the high plateaus of Folgaria and Dos di Fomme, apparently are countless Grenades. shrapnel, bombs and heavy projectiles are blowing up the land smashing peaks and pulverizing the rocks.
 All the small picturesque villages along the Adige valley which is be tween the fighting lines, have been victims of the Austrian shells. Their inhabitants have been partly in termed in Austria and partly have taken refuge in Italy The towns be ing almost entirely uninhabited, there have virtually been no casualties in them. Some of them have been abso lutely razed by the shells. The val Ieys in the fighting zone are piled with dead. There also are thousands of helpless wounded in the valleys, as the Austrian cannonade prevents the succoring of victims by either side.

side his tent waiting for their pay.
Passing within, Rhinelander cut open
the package To his CONSERVATION he
found only brown paper instead of
currency. Stunned by the revelation
and breathless with amazement, he
made his way, white-faced, back to
the station for an explanation.
Rushing into the Office he threw the
doctored package down before Lyons
and Helen. The two paled in turn
with excitement and each of the
three looked blankly into the faces Of
the others. Lyons ran to the safe and
opened it again-Rhinelander and
Helen watching. Nowhere else inside
was any money to be found. The cur
rency package, apparently undisturbed,
had been taken by the agent in the
first instance from precisely where he
had left it and seemingly in the same
condition in which it had been placed
in the safe. All that confronted the
startled trio now was the worthless
package of brown paper.
Rhinelander wiped his brow and
turned, detected, from the counter. He
had not the heart to wire Oceanside OF
the calamity. The first thing neces-
sary, in any event, was to make an eff
fort to appease the men and, starting
to his camp, he attempted to do this.
The men, made uneasy by Rhineland-
er's sudden disappearance after his
promise to pay, were grumbl1ng
around Wood, the foreman, who was
using his best efforts to quiet them.
Rhinelander now reappeared from the
station, but empty-handed. He brought
with him the rifed package, showed
this to Wood and to the men; ex-
| planned that he had been robbed and
told the men they would have to wait.
Those closest in the group that
crowded around him had been primed
for disturbancesby Spike and his two
confederates. They sneered at Rhine
| lander's statements and told him they
wanted their pay. Lyons, hurrying
! over from the station, reported to
Rhinelander that the express company
and the chief special agents Office had
been notified of the robbery and de-
| tectives we're on the way. But while

the disaffected, Spike and his COM

his mind the kind of safe he had to
do with. In another moment he threw
back the bolts and swung the door
open.

safe. But the easy triumph of the ex-

friends did not seem enough to satisfy
him. To make the job artistic, he d.

Just as he had found it in the safe.
Leaving by the same way they had
entered, the quartet took their way
to Seagrue's camp. Seagrue was
asleep, and Spike woke him and NUT
tered they had the money. Seagrue,
somewhat upset by the size of the
company of thieves with which he
was now tied up, kept his own coun-
sci. He listened to all that Spike had
to say, and at once advised sending
the three safe-blowers back to the
city. This, however, it. was decided,
after brief conference, would not
do, as Spike needed somebody to help

HELEN'S WILD RIDE

Helen spied him the minute she
stepped inside Rhinelander's hut to de-
liver the telegram-a small, fluffy bun
die of black and white, lying curled up
tightly on Rhinelander's cot, as if this
was the haven of warmth and refuge

distractedly back to the Office to wire

speeder car.

hold of the handles, pushed the car
forward a length, found it responded
to her touch, and hardly giving
thought as to whether she could man.
age the machine, conceived, as it be-
gan to pick up speed, that possibly she
could overtake the departing train.
This idea, once in her head, she had
only to jump into the seat and in an
other moment she was in pursuit of
the train-then travelling through a
zone of fire from the burning camp.
Catching at the inf1ammable mate
rial with which it's path was freely
spread, leaping from tent to tent and
hut to hut, licking up the canvas and
eating rapidly into the f1imsy wooden
structures that barred it's way, engulf-
ing machinery, wagons and equipment
in it's quick advance, the fire, famed by
the north wind and it's own suction,
tore along like whirlwind, with
Rhinelander and his gang doing their
best to check it. By the time the train
had reached the vicinity of the camp,
the fire had jumped the track and the
flames rose on all sides as the local
headed through them.
Close behind the train, Helen, run
ming the lineman's speeder, was doing
her utmost to attract the attention of
the train crew. Their eyes were fixed
on the fire. Helen sped through the
angry fire, and gained on the last
moving train until but a slight gap
separated the nose of her speeder
from the rear platform. Then mount
ing on the footboard of the roaring lit
tie motor, she sprang with all her
strength to the observation platform
of the rear car.
The conductor and brakeman, look.

| coaches to watch the fire, discovered
| the pursuing speeder. The two started
back for the rear platform and they
reached it just as Helen landed in
front of them from ser jump.
What in the world?" demanded the
conductor, as he looked from the ex
cited girl to the deserted lineman's
car, now falling back in the race it had
maintained with the train. what in
thunder" he again demanded of Helen
in simple, good faith, ''are you trying
to do, Miss Holmes?"

excitement, tried to explain: "Mr

such of the men as would listen that

difficulty was to get the men to listen.
The strike idea spread through the
camp like an Infection, and reason
was for the moment completely TOT
gotten. Spike, perceiving the mlscn1eI

two city criminals out OF the way De-
fore the detectives from headquarters
should arrive and round up the camp
for suspects, directed Spike and Dan

At this time a sudden and unexpect-

the party returned to the shack for
final drink, and when they left II,
Sykes and Dan started for the station.
But a lighted match carelessly thrown
to the ground inside. the hut, falling
among rubbish, had ignited it, and al
most before the pair reached the sta

Entering the waiting room with his
companion, Sykes bought tickets from
Helen for the city. When with Dan he
walked out on the platform, the loca

looking at the fire in Rhinelanders
camp.
