The Georgia Tech-North Carolina strug- gle is expected to be a hard one. The Tar Heels, according to reports. have the strongest team in several years, and Tn the Harvard game the work of the line men and of Fullback Folger came in for much praise. Tech has been spending the last week at hard work eradicating the faults disclosed in the Davidson con- test last week. Tech won from North Carolina last year, 23 to 3.
 The Vanderbilt and Mississippi battle should prove interesting with critics agreeing on Vanderbilt as the winner, al. though Mississippi is considered stronger this season than last when Vanderbilt won by score of 91 to Q.
 AUBURN LOOKS GOOD
 Auburn's defeat of Clemson today, 28 to o. gave the first real line on the Plains men, who seem to have developed a SCOT ing machine. Last year Auburn defeated Clemson, 14 to 0.
 A good line for comparison of Wander bilt and Sewanee in advance of their annual Thanksgiving Day battle should be obtained from the Kentucky contest Vanderbilt recently rolled up a heavy score against the Colonels. Last year Kentucky and Se@anee played a ' to tie.
 Tennessee, reports say. will meet a greatly improved team in South Caro- lima The Carolinians. since their de- feat at the hands of Newberry, have been working hard and are reported to be rounding into shape rapidly.

trickery can succeed. And this is your
last chancel JULES LEGAR."
Silently the beaten man stared down
at this strange missive. Slowly as he
did so. the last of his once iron will
melted away.
He rose heavily from his chair and
crossed to the vault. From this vault
he took the map, the time-yellowed
square OF MANILA about which SO many
OF the sorrows and troubles of all his
life seemed to revolve. Then. calling
for his hat and ccat and ordering
car. he tremblingly made ready for his
midnight visit of eapitulation to the
Central Tower building.
While these events were taking
place. however. there was one member
of the Golden household who remained
far from Inactive. When David Man
ley SO abruptly left tranquil bunga
low at Cedarton and so stealthily
pushed his way through the shrubbery
surrounding that bungalow, it was be-
cause he had made the sudden dis
covery that Legar himself was in the
neighborhood Nor was ii hard for
him to guess the reason for that mas
ter-criminal's invasion OF those seques-
tereo grounds. And Manley, promptly
deciding to stalk the stalker himself.
was rewarded by oyerhearins enough
OF Legar's plans, as the latter hurried
ly issued his instructions to two of his
confederates near the roadside, to
realize the necessity of at once get
ting in touch with Enoch Golden.
Whatever happened. he felt, it was his
duty to warn Margery's father that
Legar himself had acknowledged his
ignorance of the girls whereabouts
and had expressed his intention of

quick cry OF warning bursting from the
drivers throat. Staring ahead. abe
saw that still another effort was being
made to intercept them. This time II
was a man with red flag. Instead of
stopping. the car swept past the man
SO close that its fender-end slapped
against the fiagstick itself as he re-
peated his lusty shout OF command.
But that command was more or less
lost on Train. q little dizzy now with
the sheer drunkenness of speed.
"Stop?' Knocked the driver as he
raced on. I'm going to stop for notn-
ing this side OF hell.'
Yet that valiant boast was little
more than the articulation of mortal
pride so often preluding mortal disas-
ter. For bearing down on them along
that lonely stretch of roadway they
could already see second car. The
point about this car that worried Train
was that 1t was not approaching them
as well-behaved car should approach
comrade vehicle, but vermiculated
drunkenly from one side of the road to
the other. Even Margery, as she
leaned forward. puzzling over these
strange movements, realized that peril
was involved in passing vihicle so
uncertain OF its course. At the same
time, too. she could hear from far be-
hind her the prolonged and warning
cry OF an auto horn. wailing disturb
ingly through the quiet air of the late
afternoon.
The next moment the two cars had
met. head-on.
There was a crash of metal and
glass, a rending of honey-comb radia-
tors and coppered tenders.
What happened after that for all
time remained strangely like a dream
to Margory. She remembered seeing
Train lying close beside his wrecked
car, with the blood trickling from his
wrist and staining his whip-cord uni
form. She remembered seeing other
hgures. even more helpless looking.
But most of all she remembered how
one of these figures, pulling himself
together, had slowly risen to his feet
As he did so he turned half.stupidly
about and stared down at her And the
moment she saw that pallid yet tri-
umphant face she knew that 1t was Le-
gar. She knew that he was confronting
her. that he was slowly but determin.
ediy making his way towards her. And
she knew that in another moment she
would have been their prisoner again
had not sudden and unlooked-for in
terruption taken place.
This interruption came in the form
of flying roadster, with a masked
figure leaning low out from it's run
ming board as it swept down on them.
She remembered the sudden shout of
the men. the sudden clutch of the

servants telephone below stairs. Part
or that guarded conversation was car
ried on by Wrench. the new footman,
and much of 1t had to do with the very
situation SO disturbing the aged million
aire IN the room above. For it was Le-
gar explaining that a masked stranger
at the last moment had snatched the
girl from their hands and mad apparent
iy carried her on to some hiding place
Of his own This was followed by the
command to deliver still another mes
sage to Enoch Golden, with the final
warning that every wire leading into
the Golden hose must be cut as soon
as possible.
The new footman. in obedience to
these orders. quietly traced out the
telephone circuits to the basement and
there severed the wires with a pair of
scissors purloined for the purpose
from Mile. Celestine's workbag. Then.
watching his chance, he carefully
penned note. wording 1t as Legar
had duly instructed him to do. Then
he returned to the neighborhood Of the
library door. with his ferretlike alert
ness masked under his customary i'm
mobility OF face.
1t was not until his restless master
discovered the telephone wires to be
dead. and went storming through the
house to determine the reason for this
mlsadventure that Wrench realized
his chance had come. Slipping into
the deserted library on the pretext OF
adjusting the rugs. he stopped before
the rosewood table. hesitated a mo-
ment. and then lifted the heavily
chased lid OF Golden's cigar case and
dropped the note inside. A moment
later he had left the room, unobserved
and unsupported.
It did not take many minutes of
waiting to confirm the wisdom of
Wrench's movement. For Enoch Gold
en-. striding restlessly back into his
library. sank with a sigh of WEAKNESS
into the armchair beside the rosewood
table. For moment or two he stared
abstractedly and unhappily about him.
Then, with still another sigh, he
reached out and lifted the heavily
chased lid of silver. His fingers. in
stead of coming in contact with a per
fecto corseted in gold. rustled against
a sheet of paper. Automatically he
picked It up and unfolded it.
Written on that mysterious sheet he
found the following:

NATIONAL GUARD LAWS MUST BE
 CHANGED

SACRAMENTO, Dec. IS. - Sweep ing changes in the laws relating to the National Guard of California must be made at the next session of the legis lature, according to Colonel J. ]. Bor- rec, acting adjutant general since the resignation of Adjutant General Chas A. Thomas, now on the border. The federal law passed at the last session of congress, which reorganized the mi litia by placing it on a pay basis and requiring that members take the fed eral oath, made radical alterations in the state laws necessary. The federal law takes precedence over state stat utes, rendering them void.
 Not only will the California laws have to be remodeled, but large ad- ditional appropriations will be needed, according to Colonel Borree, who has not, however, prepared his estimates of amounts which will be asked. De- tails of legislation and appropriations required will be announced before the legislature convenes.

GERMANS DRIVEN OUT
OF BORDEAUX WOODS

PARIS, March 9-Fierce attacks
were renewed by the Germans on the
Verdun front both to the east and to
the west of the Meuse river, but were
repulsed by the French troops, the
war office announced this afternoon.
At one time, according to the war
office, the Germans succeeded in en-
tering the village of Vaux, northeast
of Verdun but were expelled. There
was also fierce fighting northwest of
Verdun. but the French repealed the
German effort to retake the position
which they had lost in Cordeaux
forest
The steadily increasing violence of
the French counter-attacks indicates
that the mighty battle at Verdun is
drawing near it's climax. These at
tacks had the most success northwest
of the fortress where the French
launched a drive in an effort to re-
capture Bethincourt, Regneville and
FORCES. The Germans were forced to
give up the greater part of the forest
of Corbeaux, falling back upon
positions which had previously been
fortified.
