Davy. Iargery sent a look of tender
concern after his detected figure hur-
rying toward the garage that would
have consoled him greatly could he
have seen it. The next moment that
look changed swiftly to one of horri-
fled surprise. Over the top of the ivy
mantled brick wall fianking the garage
slowly appeared mans head and
shoulders. Then followed lean-fin-
gered hand clutching a glittering heavy
calibered revolver.
She saw Legar raise the nickeled
revolver and squint with deliberate
and careful aim over the sights. Be
fore she could utter the cry of warn
ing which was trembling on her lips
the revolver in Legar's hand was sud-
denly lowered and that malignant
faced outlaw slipped out of sight.
The white-lipped girl saw that Le-
CARS hurried retreat was due to the
fact that at the moment he was about
to press the trigger of that menacing
revolver liveried chauffeur had
emerged from the garage pushing a
clumsy-loOking motorcycle. She saw
Davy, still in ignorance of his near
approach to death, jump into the sad
die of the cumbersome affair, which
developed a surprising burst of speed
as 1t flashed down the drive and
veered sharply onto the macadam
highway.
Certain that the unrelenting master
criminal would not so readily relin-
qush his savage purpose of extermi-
mating the young secretary, and more
anxious for Davy's safety than she
would admit even to herself, Margery
ran lightly to the broad veranda of the
manor house and caught up the field
glasses which were kept hanging
against the wall. Sweeping the long
stretch of highway with the powerful
lenses. she quickly picked up the
straight young figure guiding the rae
ing motorcycle. With sigh of relief
she saw him nearing the crest Of that
ridgelike elevation called Seven Oaks
hill.
But as she was about to lower the
glasses she gave a sudden exclamation
of dismay. for the motorcycle slowed
down and came to stop just on the
brow of the hill. The khaki-clad rider
dismOunted. and after searching
glance about him. proceeded with some
difficulty to drag the heavy machine
over the stone wall, where it was eff
fectually concealed from the view Of
any chance passerby. Then he struck
off along the top of the ridge in the di
rection of the row of stately trees
standing like sentinels guarding the
valley.
Even as Margery stood puzzling over
the meaning of these strange maneu-

Washington, Jan. 11.--Unless re-
publicans develop unexpected opposi-
tion to the adoption of an adverse re-
port by the rules committee on the
Wood leak" investigation resolution,
the furry over rumors that money
was made in the stock market on ad
vance information about President
wilson's peace note, probably will end
in the house tomorrow. Two hours
debate will precede vote on the re-
port.
Democratic members of the rules
committee voted today over the vigor-
Gus protest of the republicans to re-
port unfavorably the Wood resolu-
ton, which would provide specifically
for an inquiry by a special commit
tee into charges made by Thomas w.
Lawson that there was a leak in
advance of the peace note.
The majority also declined to bring
up for final vote another Wood reso-
luton for a general investigation of
leak allegations or one by Repre-
Campell of Kansas, designed
to empower a congressional committee
to inquire into every phase of the ru-
mors.
The subcommittee appointed yes
terday to draft contempt charges
against Mr.. Lawson in the event of
decision to prosecute him, continues
in existence.

THIRD INDICTMENT is
ISSUED IN THAW CASE

New York, Jan. 1t.--A third in
dictment in the Thaw case was hand
ed down today by the grand jury. Tho
defendant is Oliver Brewer, who is
under arrest on a technical charge in
Philadelphia, and in whose possession
We're found papers left with him by
Harry X. Thaw before Thaw and
George O'Byrnes, known as his body
guard, were indicted here on charges
of assault and kidnapping brought by
Frederick Gump, Jr, of Kansas City
Mo. The indictment today accuses
Brewer of conspiracy to kidnap.
Evidence placed before the grand
jury included the papers taken from
Brewer which were brought here by
Philadelphia detective. Brower's al
legged direct connection with the case
is that after Thaw left New York sub
sequent to the whipping he is accused
of having inflicted upon Gump, Brow
er acted as Thaw's emissary, coming
to New York in the hope of finding
Gump and preventing him from tell
ing his story to the authorities.

while her husband, the late William

to secure an education and that Harry
did likewise, her own opinion "forti-
fled by long experience and observa =
tion,' Is that this form of benevo-
lence is too susceptible of abuse to be
endorsed"

moral, of the authors responsible for
the war,
The allied governments believe that
they must protest in the most friendly
but in the most specific manner
against the assimilation established in
the American note between the two
groups of belligerents; this assimila-
ton, based upon public declarations
by the central powers, is in direct op-
position to the evidence, both as re-
CARDS responsibility for the past and
as concerns guarantees for the future;
President Wilson in mentioning it cer-
tainly had no intention of associating
himself with it.
Central Powers Blamed.
"lf there Is an historical fact es-
tablished at the present date, 1t is the
wilful aggression of Germany and
Austria Hungary to insure their hege-
mony over Europe and their economic
domination over the world. Germany
proved by her declaration of war, by
the immediate violation of Belgium
and Luxembourg, and by her manner
of conducting the war, her Stimulating
contempt FOR all principles of human
ity and all respect for small states; as
the conflict developed the attitude of
the central powers and their allies has
been continual defiance of humanity
and civilization. Is 1t necessary to re-
call the horrors which accompanied
the invasion of Belgium and Serbia,
the atrocious regime imposed upon
the invaded countries, the massacre
of hnnHrpHG pf thnIG NJ nF
siVe Armenians, the barbarities per-
petrated against the population in
Syria, the raids of zeppelins on open
towns, the destruction by submarines
of passenger steamers and of mer-
chantmen, even under neutral flags,
the cruel treatment inflicted upon
prisoners of war. the juridical murders
OF Miss Cavell and of Captain Fryatt,
the deportation and the reduction to
slavery of civil populations, etc? The
execution Of such series of crimes
perpetrated without any regard for
universal reprobation fully explains to
President Wilson the protest of the
allies.
Refer to Reply to Germany.
They consider that the note which
they sent to the United States in reply
to the German note will be response
to the questions put by the American
government, and according to the
exact words of the latter, constitute "a
public declaration as to the conditions
upon which the war could be termi-
mated
President Wilson desires more: He
desires that the belligerent powers
openly affirm the objects which they
seek by continuing the war: the
allies experience no difficulty in re-
plying to this request. Their objects
in the war are well known. They
have been formulated on many oc-
casions by the chiefs of their divers
governments. Their objects in the
war will not be made known in de-
tail with all the equitable compen-
sations and indemnities for damages
suffered until the hour of negotia-
tions.
Definite Terms Stated.
''But the civilized world knows
that they imply in all necessity and
in the first instance the restoration
of Belgium, of Serbia, and of Monte
negro. and the indemnities which are
due them; the evacuation of the in
vaded territories of France, of Rus,
