knows he must make good this time or
get into trouble. He's fallen down
hard twice lately. Why, even yester-
day he was to send two men to Lynd-
ham. with woman, to get something
on this Tom Larnigan. His two men
have disappeared, and they never
took the woman at all. They didn't
wait for her. but went OFF with some
other woman-on Joy ride. I sup
pose!"
Neither Stone nor Rockford. Of
oourse, knew the truth as to this,
which was that Dorothy Maxwell.
learning of the plot, had taken the
place Of the woman who was to be-
tray Tom, nor that the two thugs with
whom she had gone had become sus-
picious and tied her, hand and foot,
in the bottom of the car while they
went into roadho4ge to acquire
courage for the task before them.
Yet, even at that moment, Dorothy
was in flight from the two thugs.
They had not meant to stay long in
the roadhouse, but one drink had
suggested another, and their resist
ance hadn't been strong. AS a result,
Dorothy had been able to loosen her
bonds and get out of the car. She
rode off in the car just as the two
thugs emerged, and as soon as they
recovered from their establishment
they gave chase, stealing motor
cycle that had been standing by the
car.
Dorothy had a good start; but, unhap-
PLY, the gasoline tank Of the car was
almost empty, and she soon saw that
she was sure to be Overhauled and
again made prisoner. Her experience
with them made her dread this and led
her to be willing to take any risk to
avoid the fate she felt was in store for
her at their hands.
And 80 at a turn in the road she
abandoned the car and fed down to-
ward the water, which was near by, as
the road at this point wound in and
out near the sound. At small dock
motorboat was lying. It seemed to
be empty, and Dorothy sprang aboard
and got the boat going just as her
pursuers tore down to the waters
edge. She felt that in the boat she
was safe and that she would be able
to explain her desperate need to its
owner. But, to her CONSERVATION, she
heard sounds within the tiny cabin,
and the next moment the owner
emerged.
"Kitty!' cried Dorothy. kitty Rock
fordv'
1t was not a man, but girl of Dor
othy's own age, who owned the boat.
And Kitty Rockford was her best
friend. Chance had leaned heavily in
Dorothy's direction at last! There were
explanations of amazement from both
of them, and explanations followed.
I'D never have daredv' cried Kitty.
Dorothy, you're the bravest girl ever
knew! But you're safe now. Wen sc
right home, and I'll have them send
you to New York in special train"

furiously on Stone.

He flung the note at Stone.
"I'll try to save them!' he cried.
But whatever happens I'm done with
you! I'll have no more dealings with
you or any Of the grafters who are in

He flew to send orders stopping the
special and ordered out another spe-
cial to follow. But he had no hope
There was no way, he was sure, of
stopping the doomed train. The only
chance was for Dunn to fail, and that
chance, as Rockford knew only too
we'll, was of the slightest Dunn was
not the sort to fail when success de-
pended upon his own efforts and when
he knew. as he did now, the price of
failure.
What Rockford, however, had not
allowed for was that Tom Larnigan

The surprise helped Dorothy's rescu-

The big day which Hfbernians have
been looking forward to for almost
TWO years now, is but three weeks
away, and despite the size of the IN
dertaling, practically everything is
now in readiness for the biennial con-
Vention and parade of the state asso-
citation of the Ancient Order of Hi
berniaus. With a parade Of 10000
and nearly as many more visitors on
hand to witness the affair, Middle
towns population will be nearly
doubled for the day, and elaborate
preparations are Of course necessary
to take care of the crowd. Special
trains are being planned from as many
as seven different cities, including
Meriden, Hartford. Bridgeport, New
Haven, New London, Norwich, Wilt
mantle and Waterbury. New Haven
alone has promised 1000 men for the
parade, while Hartford is expected to
do as well.

Strealss Of Lean Required
Uncle Sans specifications for the
curing Of bacon say the slabs must
not weigh less than ten pounds nor
more than twenty when laid down
green. They average from sixteen to
eighteen pounds. The striEs must
contain q good streak of lean in each
piece, and be not more than three
inches thick at the shoulder. Ihey
must be allowed to dry out at least
one day before being submitted to
smoking with hickory wood for a
period of eight days or more. The
excess salt must be brushed from the
slabs instead of being washed off with
water.
The government prescrlbes the ex-
act manner in which the pieces shall
be wrapped. Two sheets of heavy
paraff1n paper and one Of heavy alb
5orbent are required. Some of the
bacon has an extra wrapping OF sheet
ing sewed on. Others are packed for
shipment IN Theoretically sealed cans,
II pounds to the can.
Cane Chosen at Random.
Cans OF corned beef, hash and of
roast beef, were picked here and there
from among the finished products and
opened for inspection. Some Of the
cans had been packed only an hour,
others had been packed fer days. If
a piece of grist1e was found or if too
much fat had reached the can it was
noted by the eagle eyed inspectors for
the government.

British Rules Less Strict.
A British inspector was on the
ground looking after the supplies for
his armies.
The British specifications do not call
for as careful preparation or grade as
does those Of the American army. Es-
peciaIly is this true in the matter of
bacon. Down in the great cooling eel
lars the slabs of soon to be bacon
were being saIted end corded in great
piles like cord wood.
Corned beef, according to the speci-
dcatiOns, must be packed in two pound
cans, the meat to be cut from brisket,
is prescribed. The briszet furnishes the
necessary fat, Of which not too much
is permitted. No flank pieces are
used. The cuts must be made from
young cattle in good condition. Not
more than p Ia per cent. Of chuck
meat may be used; the other two cuts
are in equal proportions. Skinny and
connective tissue and all blood clots
must be removed. The cans must not
contain more than one ounce 09 cieaC
Jelly made from soup stock and bones
and must not show excessive liquor
when opened for inspection. Every can
is thoroughly washed and wiped dry
before being packed.
Subject to Inspection Always.
The roast beef is prepared from the
same grade of fresh meats. The meat is
subject to inspection on the carcass
and at any other time the inspectors
may desire. The beef is first soaked

fixing dinner. We then hiked up
to a skidder which was a distance
of about three miles up a branch of
the N. O. G. N. We watched them

then started home. We arrived at

ALBANY CITIZEN ASK SUPREME
COURT FOR shAKEB|TE SALOON

Washington, Jan. 24.-sAlbany,
La, wants a saloon where whiskey
may be obtained readily as a cure
snakebite, according to plant
from aresident of the locality, which
reached John R. Young, clerk Of the
Supreme Court Of the District Of Co.
lumbia, in the morning mail.
Doctors can not cure it. Writes
the petitioner. There is nothing to
cure it but whiskey. Where we
can get whiskey it takes two or
three days-up to that he dies of
the snakebite."
The writer supposes that the court
has authority to send a saloon,
fully equipped, on request. He says
there are 200 or 800 persons in the
locality who need whiskey and
bottle beer" He says the neigh
bors told him to write and ask for
the saloon. He explains that the
snakes come right up to the houses
and bite the children and other
folks and asserts that the snakebite
is an awful thing and hurts severly
but If you can the whiskey and rub
it with it and take a drink you are
cured in a few days."
The correspondent tells Mr.. Young
that Albany is a big place with SIX
stores" The residents are growers
of strawberries, he states, He asks
for a quick reply to his letter and
for the early establishment Of the
saloon.
Mr.. Young will reply that he ba:
no saloons on hand and if he had

ana might object 10 the sending o
