BIG SUPP RISE
ON DOLLAR. DAYS

From the present appearance, this
will be q kind Of Old Homo week in
this city for there are prospects there
will be more visitors here the last
three days than at any other time
during the year. The reason is easily
seen for the Gardiner Merchants A..
ISOLATION has announced that Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday will be
Dollar Days. Last year the idea was
tried here and the result was q sur
prise for all. There were great trades
offered by the store keepers and the
public found 1t out. Not including any
Of the holidays did the traders do such
a business and there was not q com.
plant from the purchasers but what
they got all and even more than they
had an idea Of for their money. This
year the experience Of last will count
much and moro and greater trades
will be offered. There will be a gen.
eral slashing Of prices on everythins.
This will include the coming fall ana

plain DESIGN OF
new POST OFFICE
OBJECTIONABLE

The severe plainness Of the design of
the new postoffice has been the cause
Of considerable complaint by citizens Of
the city and Postmaster Frost was ap-
pealed to to see If this could not be
remedied. He at once communicated
with Senator Johnson at Washington
and he with his usual promptness at
once took up the matter personally
with the secretary Of the treasury.
They in turn took up the matter with
the contractors to see if the desired
results could be, made and If there
was sufficient money appropriated to
carry out the desired alterations.
While the design as it stands and exc
cuted in such material as stone would
give an effective building when COM
pleted certain embellishments could be
made which would effectively relieve
the severity Of the structure. Now
Postmaster Frost has received word
from Senator johnson that his person.
al efforts were Of avail and the fol-
lowing suggested alterations will be
made: To cut carved panels over tho
smaller second story windows; to cut
plain sunken panels under the stills of
the Ave large second story windows in
the main front; to place bronze lamp
standards on the cheek blocks thanking
the main entrance; to utilize a special
treatment for the five large windows on
the main front.

known as the Owls Nest, where Margory Golden was listlessly mak- ing preparations for the coming meal. She started suddenly as she stopped over the fire smoldering in the blackened fireplace. For from a crevice in the wall. a crevice no big ger than a mans hand, a piece of nor tar unmistakably flew out and struck her on the arm. She was still staring incredulOusly into this creyice when a fiutter of white passed her eyes and 9 small square of paper fell at her feet close to the edge of the coals. She un- folded the missive and read:
 "A cask of cognac is coming. If Le- gar and his men drink from it they should be drugged asleep inside of ten minutes. Press spring concealed on top of cask and follow directions there. Don't give up. And if you understand this, tap twice with the fire tongs."
 Below these words was the sign of the Laughing Mask.
 So fortifying was this knowledge in fact, that when Casayanti and Legar himself entered the gloomily-lighted

 This is the real stun. That raw dope's for Doolan's election workersl" And the bunch already soused wit iti" commented the even more envi- ous stickup as he helped roll the sec ond barrel into Legar's inner quarters. Slowly the two men carried out the barrel and lifted it to the wagon. Then the driver climbed aboard.
 It was not until that driver was well away from the waterfront and had rounded many - corner. that he ven tured to pull up and tap on the oak slaves beside him.
 Its all right" he called out as he felt about the rough oak and found the hidden spring. Just hold steady now, and I'll help you out"
 The girl uttered a sigh of thankful ness as they once more got under way.

THIRD EPISODE
THE COGNAC CESK

Bring that woman in herei" coms manded Enoch Golden as he flung open his library door. He stepped in side, the next moment, as the figure in black, pinioned close between young Manley and Wilson, the butler, was piloted into the shadowy room.
 Sit down." he parked out at the silent and motionless figure with the heavy black veil still draping its face.
 "Manley. is there any chance of this woman being armed?' Golden suddenly asked of his secEtary.
 She's not armed, sir, Twas young Manley's quiet reply, though it took a tussle before Wilson and I could get hold of her"
 Well" Golden said to the yelled figure in the chair, what brought you spying and lurking about my home?"
 That was a question which the wom- an apparently chose to leave unan- swered.
 Do you intend to answer?". de- manded the millionaire. "Or must I have you put out of this house with out hearing"
 That seems to be habit of which time has not deprived you" was the quiet-tOned reply.
 It was not the muffled sting in those words, nor the calm bitterness with which they were spoken, but more the voice itself, with its ghostly re- hinder of other days, that brought Golden up short.
 Who are you?' he repeated when he saw that he and the yelled woman were alone in the room. And why are you here?'
 You will misjudge that" answered the woman as she threw back the heavy folds of her veil, 'as much as you misiudged nay actions of twenty years ago!'
 Why are you here?" repeated Gold en, with unconsciously hardening voice.
 - Tt was love for my daughter"
 The pugnacity went out of the grim face bent over the desk top.
 What do you know about-about your daughter" he demanded, not meeting her gaze.
 q know that she is in danger, in terrible danger
 That means you know where she is. where she could be found?" was Golden's quick inquiry.
 That is the one thing that made me brave enough, or cowardly enough.

I could hear their talk through the little kitchen slide through which we pass our dishes. And when I heard their voices I opened the slide little, and l knew at once that one of the men was Palidori, or Legar, as he calls himself now. He was talking mostly to a man called Casavanti. Then"
 Wait a minute,' interrupted Gold en. with his finger on the bell button, 'I want my secretary to hear this"
 The woman in black sat silent until Manley. had re-entered the room. Then Golden motioned for her to continue.
 q heard Legar mention your name," she went on, still unmoved by the older mans half-sneering incredulity. "Then he blamed Casavanti for some scheme that had failed, some scheme to degrade my Margory. But he had the girl back, he said, and this time he'd expect Casavanti to do his part.
 "Casavanti also said he wanted that woman for himself, and declared she'd come like hungry cat when he'd fin. ished with her. ] knew then what he was. I knew what Legar was plan- ming. It-it made me forget every thing. I started for the table where they were. tried to hold Legar. r. I think I called for help. l clung to him as he staggered toward the door. But one of his men struck me. They escaped, then, for I was too dazed to d0 anything more."
 l. was Manley who spoke next, an eager light in his scowling young eyes.
 But where did they say the girl Tas?" he asked.
 They did not say. But one of them spoke of Oyster Joe, who'd stolen some casks of old cognac. This man Oyster Joe was sending the casks by another nan named Old Eli to some secret hiding place."
 But how can that help us?" asked Manley.
 'I thought, with those names to work with, I might in some way find my child, find her and save her. Sure ly, with money, men could be hired"
 Do you hear. Manley," broke in the grim -jawed man of millions. Its money again! It's always money!" He wheeled about and confronted the tired-faced woman. This is the sec ond pretty story I've had to listen to lately. And, madam. l may as well tell you now that I don't believe a single word of it. Whether you're an other come-on for that Cookson gang or not, l don't know I don't even care. But I know that twenty years ago you deceived me, and lied to me. You robbed me of more than my home then. But you'll never do it a second timei"
 The whitehead woman was also on her feet by this time.

We've got to get out of thisi" he aa.led to the lurching girl at his side. as he seized the reins and caught up a whip. We've got a run of mile and more before we can reach Bohawkin bridge and helpl"
 He lashed the team forward. We've got to get to that bridget"
 The girl suddenly caught at his arm
 "I can see a carl" she called out Its following us! It's gaining on usi"
 Again the driver piled his whip.
 Are they still gaining?" he asked. a moment later.
 Yes" was the girls answer. But. see. there's the bridge ahead of us,"
 By the help of God. we can make it!" suddenly exulted the man at the reins, for already his tired team was piunging up the incline of the bridge approach. They were on the bridge now, laundering across the draw.
 A power house attendant. framed in his grimy doorway. stared at them in wonder.
 Lift your draw!" frenziedly com manded the stranger. Stop that carl For Gods sake stop that carl"
 But the man in the jumper saw 10 reason for any such action The other. brushing him aside. leaped to the con trol lever. The outraged bridgetender at the same moment leaped for the in truder.
 But that intruder. for all this sud den attack. was not to be turned from his purpose. The lever was thrown over and one end of the massive draw. responding to the impulse of the equal ly massive machinery. rose slowly from the lip of the dusty roadway.
 Legar's car was already laundering across it's span as that network of steel began to lift.
 But the increasing incline of the draw. for all the cars momentum, sucked from that straining engine it's added strength. retarded a little and yet q little more the hurrying wheels. But in the ascension of the draw-end there was no delay.
 It was then and then only that a sudden shout rose from the car. Five men, realizing what lay before them. stood up in their seats as that throb- ping and pulsilg thing on wheels, mounting to the edge of the draw. for one moment poised there. and then dropped, like a poolhan in its pocket, to the riverbed below.
 It was not until then that the be whiskered man at the control lever be came fully conscious of the fact that the engineer in the Oilstained jumper wss striking and clawing at his intent body. He endured that assault until the lever had been reversed and the draw started back on its descent. Then, wheeling. the stranger sped across the draw and leaped into the waiting wagon.
 Look" cried the girl. pointing tc the riverbed beneath them.
 There the stranger could see Legar and two or three of his men clingine to row of broken piling like limpets about a river derelict.
 T was hoping" said the stranger as he caught up the reins. that this would be the last of himi"
 Why should you hope that?" asked the girl at his side as they went lurch- ing onward again.
 "I hoped it for your sake" was his answer.
 But who are you. that you should do all this for me?"

 It was not until that door closed be- hind her that Golden once more sank into his chair And as he sat there, wrestling with his own tangled emo tions before the dark tent of his soul. Manley stood staring down at him with both studious and puzzled eyes.
 For a man who counts his money in eight figures" that youth finally de clared. 'I think you're the most un- mitisated ass that ever wore shoe leather"

to Do Anything More"
 CT had they worked harder than over the knots of the mysterious stranger
 who Lad left them trussed and bound
 to the beams of their own sail loft.
 They might, indeed. have remained
 gurgliag and writhing there like two tethered cOpperheads while the care less tides rose and fell about them. had not one Scupulo visited Coney Island in his dilap.dated car of an cient viHtage, and having there con ferred with a lush dip in hiding from the flatties of Manhattan. decided to circle homeward by way of Oyster Joe's, in the hope of that refreshment which had more than once cheered him on his dusty journeys.
 Instead of finding refreshment. how ever. he uncarthed two ferocious-eyed and dry-thrcated captives, who. when released. danced and gesticulated in cOherently about their habitation. Then, when speech had returned to them the visit of the mysterious stranger was explained and the neces- sity of getting in touch with Legar made plain.
 It was not long. accordingly. before three men and car naiveiy missing on one cylinder went coughing inland along the narrow road threading those uncountod acres of sea marsh.
 They were within fifty paces of crossroads landmark known as Chim- ney-Pot Corner when below not un- like that Of a branded range steer burst from the indignant throat of Old Eli. For that worthy had the unique experience of beholding not only his own purloined team and wagon. but a disconcertingly lifelike replica of himself driving it. Scupulo. with the genius of a true general. arrested the progress of that wagon by promptly stopping his ear directly in it's track. This collision in no way improved the vehicle of ancient vintage: but sterner issues were at hand. A moment later the beiiigerent trio from the broken car were trimphantly charging for Margory Golden and her guardian.
 That guardian. fully realizing the meaning of the charge. tossed his reins to the frightened girl and com handed her 10 drive for all she was worth. Then he himself prepared for invaders
 It was to the first conner that he directed his main attention. for Scupu- 10, he noticed. already held a knife in his swarthy hand One well-placed kick on the clenching knutkles. how. ever. sent that glimmering icicle of steel circling off into the road-dust. and an equally well-placed blow on the jaw sent the owner of the knife after it.
 In the meantime. however both Oys- l ter Joe and old Eli had gained the wagon platform. The former found ! himself suddenly clenched by the l waist and lifted clear of the wagon. ] Why he should so quickly and so viO- lently come into collision with the ! swaying figure of Oyster Joe. like an alley ball hitting a nine-pin. was a !! matter which for all time remained a | mystery to him. But over the side of | he laundering wagon the two figures ] suddenly topglod rolling along the | lust with limbs interlaced and claw | Ing hands unreasonably clenChed in . each others hair. And before they re- | gained either their feet or their men al faculties. the wagon itself was well )n it's way.
 Yet the driver Of that wagon knew hat his escape was only a temporary ,ne.
