1.-THE IRON CLAW"
BY
ARTHUR
STRINGER

fought out her artist friend. Frank
Aimick. and inveigled him to expert
ment with q new and somewhat I'M
tried model.
Frank Aimick, however, soon found
the ardent-eyed young Peggy more OF
help to him than he had anticipated.
Some of her unctuous yet uncouth at
titudinizing, In fact, brought q smile
to the face Of the busy artist.
But that smile was never broader
than when he noticed her standing
wide-eyed before the large canvas
above the fireplace at the end OF his
studio. For this painting, which bore
the title Of "The Vigilante." was re-
markable piece of work, in more ways
than one. 1t showed the life-size fig-
ure of frontiersman staring out into
the room, with leveled carbine at
his buckskinned shoulder. But the ar
resting feature Of the painting lay
in the fact that both the eyes OF the
figure and the barrel Of the leveled
rife seemed always to be directed at
the spectator, no matter what position
the spectator might take.
"That guy gives me the willies"
Peggy protested as she made her way
back to the model throne.
"Why?" asked the smiling man at
the easel.
"He keeps such bead on you, no
matter where you get in this room"
was the girls reply.
But destiny, in the form of one Jules
Legar, had secretly ordained that
Peggy's happiness should not be last
ing one. For Peggy O'Mara was no
longer a trivial factor in the activities
of the Iron Claw. This slip of girl
had brought defeat to his plans when
success seemed well within his hand.
And for these humiliations Legar de-
cided that the girl should pay, and pay
to the full.
The modest home of the O'Maras.
however, had no inkling of this deci.
sion until Dan O'Mara himself, wan.
dering about his combined kitchen and
living room in search Of his pipe, was
somewhat startled to see a square OF
paper pinned to the faded door panel.
Peggy herself, joining her father, was
equally mystified by this slip of paper,
for its surface showed nothing but a
round blot or two of black ink on a
square of white. Neither Dan O'Mara
nor his daughter had any reason to
know the meaning of the spotted
warning, any more than they knew
that one Maulki, the stealthy emissary
of the Iron Claw, stood hidden behind
the walls of one of the three cottages
commanding a clear view of the
O'Mara home.
They had no way Of knowing that
this same Mauki lurked there behind
shattered window, patiently watching,
hour after hour, the house across the
way. Close beside him as he watched
stood a magazine rifle to which Max
i'm silencer had been adjusted. And

Senator Chamberlain held the Unit

AS a champion OF adequate military
preparedness he made a spectacu ar

and American neutrality by Great
Britain.
With equal vigor. lie drew the spec

only purpose of that alliance was to
intimidate the United States.

"the United States will not have a

We have made enemies of Germany

BULL MOOSE TO
PLAN CONVENTION
May Meet in Chicago Same
Time Republicans Do.
TO STIR Up ENTHUSIASM
Leaders Want Roosevelt to Run, But
if They Cannot Have Him May
Name Justice Hughes.

New York, jan 10.-There stemeI
little doubt among the Bull NJ ose
leaders who started for Chicago that
the Progressive national convention
would be held in Chicago On June Z,
the same day on which the R publican
convention begins its work. That, a.
least, seemed to be the solid sentl
ment of the New York and cas- ern
state leaders, no matter how the west
may feel, and it seemed pretty gene
rally recognized June Z is the date
favored by Colonel Roosevelt.
The few who favor June 9, point out
that on that date the Republican con-
vention should get around to its buol-
ness of nominating and that the gath
ering of the Progressive clans might
have a more potent effect, than II
they also began work on the same day.
The worldly consideration of obtaining
hotel room seemed to be one OF the
biggest objections to this plan, as
well as the view advanced that the
Progressive influence might be strong
ly felt ii they kept step with the Re
publican progress.
However, there seemed to be little
doubt that the earlier date is the one
favored by Colonel Roosevelt and that
therefore it will be chosen. Colonel
Roosevelt was not among those pres
ent when the train pulled out, but his
secretary, John McGrath, shared a
stateroom with DR.. H. Nelson Jack.
son, committeeman from Vermont.
From all sides as the national COM
mitteemen and their friends and sym
pathizers stood about waiting for train
time came indications that this Pro
gressive campaign is going to be
very much alive-will start off with
a whoop, in fact, and keep up top
speed until its momentum is felt in
the desired quarter. That was the
reason so many Progressives actual
ed by love of the cause rather than
official duty, journeyed to the west.
That the effort to stir up the old
enthusiasm of Armageddon is to be
a tremendous one is evidenced by the
elaborate preparations made to recall
the fiery days of 1912 when the
Roosevelt Rump convention developed
into one of the classics of politics.
The old Florentine room in the Con-
gress hotel, where the party was
born, has been taken and the attempt
will be made to arouse all the political
passion that made that day famous.
"T. R. Hughes" was the hope ex'
pressed. If they can't have the colonel
the sentiment for the jurist is strong,
| in the hope that he can be supported
by the Progressives despite his Repub-
lican affiliations. 1t was said that
| Colonel Roosevelt is far from antago-
nistic to Justice Hughes, and that in
the event, that no one is found who
can hope to lead the Progressives
successfully that they can endorse
Hughes. AS for other progressive
candidates outside of the colonel
"Who else have we got?" was one
comment heard.

of a young Japanese sailor was found

that the man deserted his ship and
drowned in the attempt. AS against
this, peculiar bruise on the left cheek
and the fact that, although the body

It was not swollen with water, led to
the thought that the man was dead BE-
