knew what Braine looked like. He alone remained unknown save to the man designated as the chief, who was only Braine's lieutenant. The mask was the insignia of the Black Hun dred, an organization with all the ram ifications of the Camera without their abiding stupidity. From the assassina- tion of king, down to the robbery of a country post office, nothing was too great or too small for their nets. Their god dwells in the hearts of all men and is called greed
 The ordinary business over, the chief dismissed the men, and he and Braine alone remained.
 "Vroon, I have found him." said Braine.
 There are but few: which one?"
 Eighteen years ago, in St. Peters burg"
 T remember. The millionaire's son. Did he recognize you?"
 T don't know. Probably he did. But he always had good nerves. He is being followed at this moment. We shall strike quick; for if he recognized me he will act quick He is cool and brave. You remember how he braved us that night in Russia. Jumped boldly through the window at the risk of breaking his neck. He landed safely; that is the only reason he eluded us. Millions-and they slipped through our fingers. If I could only find some route to his heart! The lure we held out to him is dead"

 And Hargreave was working out his plans. too; and he was just as much of general as Braine. He sat at his library table, the maxillary muscles in his jaws working. So they had found him? We'll, he had broken the law or hls own making and he must suffer the consequences. Braine, who was Menshikof in Russia, Schwartz in Germany, Mendoza in Spain, Cartucci In Italy. and Du Bois in France: so the rogue had found him out? Poor fool that he had been! High spirited, full of those youthful dreams of doing good in the world he had joined what he had believed great secret so- cialistic movement, to learn that he had been trapped by a band of bril- liant thieves. kidnapers and assassi- nators for hire; the Black Hundred; fends from Tophet! For nearly eighteen years he had eluded them, for he knew that directly or indirect ly they would never cease to hunt for him: and an idle whim had toppled him into their clutches
 He wrote several letters feverishly. The last was addressed to Miss Susan Farlow and read: Dear Madam: Send Florence Gray to New York, to arrive here Friday morning.

She at least would be safe. Only when she was safe in a far country would he dare tell her He tried in vain to conjure up picture of her; he always saw the mother whom he had loved and hated with all the ardor of his youth.
 Many things happened the next day There was a visit to the hangar of one William Orts, the aviator, famous for his daredevil exploits. There were two visitors, in fact. and the second visitor was knocked down for his pains. He had tried to bribe Orts.

 The door slammed and the unknown sank back against the cushions. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the damp precipitation from his fore head. The big burden was off his mind.

 The man possessed a keen, intelli- gent face. You might have marked him for a successful lawyer, for there was an earnestness about his expres- sion which precluded a life of idle ness. His age might have been any where between 40 and 50. The shoul- ders were broad and the hands which lay clasped upon the table were slim but muscular. Indeed. everything about him suggested hidden strength and vitality His companion was small. handsome, and animated Her frequent gestures and mutable eye brows betrayed her foreign birth.

 The reporter sank into chair When inactive he was rather a dreamy-eyed sort of chap. He pos sessed that rare accomplishment of talking upon one subject and think ing upon another at the same time. So while he talked gayly with the young woman on varied themes. his thoughts were busy speculating upon her companion. He was quite cer- tain that the name Braine was as- sumed, but he was also equally cer- tain that the man carried an ex- traordinary brain under his thatch of salt and pepper hair. The man had written three or four brilliant mono graphs on poisons and the uses of radium. and 1t was through and by these that the reporter had managed to pick up his acquaintance. He lived we'll. but inconspicuously.

ESCATING AUTOMOBILE TUBE
FORMS MINIATURE BALLOON

A curious accident happened to an
automobilist recently While bowl
ing along at a 30-mile-an- hour clip,
rear tire came partly off, permitting
a portion of the inner tube to escape.
When the driver had succeeded in
stopping the car and got down to in
spect damages. he beheld the inner
tube swelled into huge balloon of
football shape. The outer tire had
pinched the inner one tight enough
against the rim to inclose a consider
able volume of air, thus causing the
bulge. The queer sight is shown in
an Illustration in the January Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.

5000 AERoPLANE3 IN GERMANY


one of the most closely guarded
secrets in the military establishments
of Europe at the present time is the
strength of the flying corps That
Germany at present has at least 5000
war planes in active use, is the state
ment attributed to one of the higher
officers last month. This officer, when
tthe military attache of one of the
South American nations commented
on the plans of the British govern
ment to build 10000 aeroplanes, re-
marked casually: I'VE have more
than 5000 ourselves." In this con-
nection it is also reported that along
the Russian front. only an exceeding
ly thin line of infantry holds the
trenches, and that nearly 1000 aero
planes are cruising above the battle
lines in the East, notifying the Ger
man headquarters in ample time of
any movements along the Russian
front. The crying need of the Russian
armies now is flying machines, of
which they need at least 1000 to be
able to cover their own movements

Pine BLUFF READY
MONDAYS GAME
With FORDYCE
Coach Bassett Winds Up
Practice Yesterday and
Predicts a Victory.

Coach Bassett Of the Pine Bluff
High school put his squad thru a
strenuous drill at Athletic park yes
terday afternoon in preparation for
the game with Fordyce tomorrow.
For two hours he chased his var
riors up and down the field, had them
punting, falling on the ball, tackling
and wound up the session with fast
signal drill. The team will rest today
and be ready to enter the game Mon
day with renewed vigor.
During the past week Coach Bas-
sett has been bolstering up some
weak points that were evident in the
game with Dermott. He has been in
structing the boys that the place to
tackle a runner is not in the vicinity
of his necktie but about the knees.
He has also been getting line on
the Fordyce crew and the reports in
dictate they have a fast, but light
weight team and that they are de-
pending on tricks and open play to
lift Pine Bluffs scalp. Coach Bar
sett has drilled his men to stop this
sort of play and will depend for the
most part on line plunging mixed
with a bewildering assortment OF
passes to score on the opposition.
Hensley has been doing the bootine
in the past week and is averaging 4C
to a. yards on each attempt. Coach
Bassett predicts a victory if his team
plays ball. s''4
The lineup for Pine Bluff will be
Quinn and Jones, ends; Albright and
Harper, tackles; Sorrells and Lind
sey, guards; Mcintyre, center and
captain; Wilson or Pcrdue, quarter
Hensley or Bishop, left half; Perdue
