SHOT IN HALVES
TWELFTH SHOT FROM STEAMER
PUTS SHELL INTO U-BOAT'S
MAGAZINE - BLOWS UP.

An Atlantic Port. June 25.-
Members of a British stearuer which
arrived here today reported having
sunk an attacking German submarine.
The British vessel sent a shell into
the U-boat's magazine, causing an ex-
plosion which parted the submersible
about amidships.
Each end sank separately.
The British steamer was uninjured.
The submarine was five miles distant
and running away after having attack.
ed the Britisher nearly 400 miles off the
coast of Ireland.
Gunner Tells of Battle.

gunner Of the British steamer, the sub

said the British gunner, who continued.
"The Germans were using their two
guns. fore and aft. while we had only
one. but the shells were falling short
and he started to run. followed him
with a shell, and the twelfth, the one
that sent him down. struck just abaft

CHAPTER XVI.
At Any Cost.

With all things moving favorably for
Timanyoni High Line up to the night
of fiascos, the battle for the great
water-right seemed to take a sudden
slant against the local promoters, after
the failure to cripple Stanton by the
attempt to suppress two Of his subordi-
mates. Early the next day there were
ranicky rumors In the air, none Of them
traceable to any definite starting point.
One of the stories was to the effect
that the Timanyoni dam had faulty
foundations and that the haste In
building had added to its insecurity.
On the heels Of this came clamorcus
court petitions from ranch owners be-
low the dam site, setting forth the
flood dangers to which they were ex
posed and praying for an injunction to
stop the work.
That this was new move on Stnn-
toms part, neither Smith nor Stilllngs
sooner got the nervous ranchmen paci-
fed by giving an indemnity bond for
any damage that might be done. than
other rumors sprang up. Fer one day
and yet another Smith fought mechan-
ically, developing the machinelike dog
gedness Of the soldier who sees the
battle going irresistibly against him
and still smites on In sheer despera-
ton. He saw the carefully built or
ganization structure, reared by his own
efforts upon the foundation laid by
Colonel Baldwin and his ranchman as
sociates, falling to pieces. In spite OF
all he could do, there was panic OF
stock-selling; the city council, alarmed
by the persistent story Of the unsafety
Of the dam, was threatening to cancel
the lighting contract with Timanyoni
High Line; and Kinzie, though he was
doing nothing openly, had caused the
word to be passed far and wide among
the Timanyoni stockholders, disaster
could be averted now only by prompt
action and the swift effacement OF their
rule-or-ruin secretary and treasurer.
"They're after you, john" was the
way the colonel put It ut the close OF
the second day of back-slippings. "They
say you're 6ddlin' while Rome's a.
burnin'. Maybe you know what they
mean by that; don't"
Smith did know. During the two
DAYS of stress Miss verda had been
very exacting. There had been another
night at the theater and much time
killing after meals In the parlors Of the
Hophra house. Worse still. there had
been a daylight auto trip about town

writhing hiserably under the price
paying, but there seemed to be no help
for It. Since the night Of Verda Rich

seen Corona: he was telling himself

want to get Stanton where can pinch
him, Billy; no, there's nothing personal
about 1t; but when great corporation
like the Escalante Land company gets
down to plain anarchy and dynamiting,
it's time to make somebody sweat for
1t. Let's go and get Shaw"
Together they went across the CORR
dor, and Smith unlocked the door of
the disused room. The light switch
was on the door-jamb and Starbuck
found and pressed the button. The
single incandescent bulb hanging from
the ceiling sprang alive-and showed
the two men at the door an empty
room and an open window. The bird
had flown.
Starbuck was grinning again when
he went to look out of the window.
The roof of the adjoining building was
only few feet below the sill level.
and there was convenient fire escape
ladder leading to the ground.
"It's us for that roadhouse out on
the Topaz trail before the news gets
around to Stanton and Lanterby," he
said definitely; and they lost no time
in securing an auto for the dash.
But that, too, proved to be a fiasco.
When they reached Barton's all-nIght
place on the hill road, the bar was
still open and card game was run
ming In an upstairs room. Starbuck
did the necessary cross-questionlng
of the dog-faced bartender.
"You know me, Pug, and what can
do to you IL have to. We want Hank
Lanterby. Pitch out and show us
where"
The barkeeper threw up one hand
as If he were warding of blow.
"You cd have him in holy minute,
for all o. me, Billy; you sure could"
he protested. "But he's gone"
"On the level2" snapped Starbuck.
"That's straight; L wouldn't lie to
you, Billy. Telephone call came from
town little spell ago. and got Hank
outa bed t. answer 1t. He borra'd
Barton's mare an faded inside Of a
pair o. minutes"
(which way7" demanded the ques-
toner.
'T the hills; leastways he amt
headin' f'r town when he breaks from
here"
Starbuck turned to Smith with a wry
smile.
"Shaw beat US to It and he scores
on u.s." he said. 1--WE may as well
hike back, phone Williams to keep his
eye on things up at the dam. and 60
to bed. There1l be nothing more do
Ing tonight"
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1917-09-29

At all events, when Smith had helped
her out of the car at the hotel entrance
and had seen her as far as the eleva-
tor, she thanked him half absently and
took his excuse, that he must return
the runabout to Maxwell's garage, with
out laying any further commands upon
him.
Just as he was turning away, bell
boy came across from the clerks desk
with a telegram for Miss Richlander.
Smith had no excuse for lingering. but
with the air thick with threats he made
the tipping of the boy answer for a
momentary stop-gap. Miss verda tore
the envelope open and read the inclo-
sure with fine-lined little frown COM
ing and going between her eyes.
''It's from Tucker Jibbey," she said,
glancing up at Smith. Someone has
lowing us. He says he'll be here on
the evening train. Will you meet him
and tell him I've gone to bed?"
At the mention Of Jibbey. the money
spoiled son of the man who stood next
to Josiah HIGHLANDER In the credit rat
ings. and Lawrenceville's best imita-
ton of flaneur, Smiths first emotion
was one of relief ut the thought that
Jibbey would at least divide time with
him In the entertainment of the bored
beauty; then he remembered that Jib-
hey had once considered him a rival,
and that the sham FOUNDERS" pres
ence in Brewster would constitute a
menace more threatening than all the
others put together.
II can't meet Tucker" he said blunt
ly. "You know very well can't"
"That's So" was the quiet reply. "Of
course you can't. What Will you do
when he comes?-run awayT
"No; I can't do that, either. shall
keep out Of his way, IL can. II he
finds me and makes any bad breaks.
he'll get what's coming to him. II he's
worth anything to you, you'll put him
on the stage in the morning and send
him up into the mountains to join your
father"
"The idea !" she laughed. Hes not
coming out here to. see father. Poor
Tucker! If he could only know what
he Is in fort" Then: at is beginning
to look as IL you might have to go still
deeper I'm debt to me. Montague. There
is one more thing I'd like to do before
I leave Brewster. II I'll promise to
keep Tucker away from you, will you

row afternoon? l want to see the
colonel's fine horses. and he has invited
me. you know"
Smiths eyes darkened.
There is limit. verda. and you've
reached It," he said quickly. ''If the
colonel invited you to Hillcrest, It was
because you didn't leave him any
chance not to. resign In favor Of lib.
bey," and with that he handed her into
the waiting elevator and said, Good
night"

Smith reached for his hat. "It's six

with that he cut the talk short and
went his way.
