TWELFTH EPISODE
The Stolen Shadow.

Sebastian had hurried homeward, appearance. The game was up at last, and he recognized that fact For he had no hope that Tianca and her gang would succeed in discovering the fu- gidyes.
 He had played his game remorse- lesay, and in every one of Leontine's escapes from imminent death he had seen the finger of fate.
 He resolved to fly. There was still time; there was ample time before the police got on his trail.
 He packed a few essentials into q couple of grips and got ready to leave. He had drawn several thousand dol lars out of his bank that would suffice him for the present. He closed the grips and took them down to his library. He lit cigar and sat down for few moments thought.
 The thought of Blanca rushed back through his mind. He shifted his feet uncertainty. It was hard to give her up. Should he stay, then?
 AS he looked across the room there appeared suddenly the luminous hands and eyes, the apparition that had so startled and mortified him before. Se- bastian screamed and leaped to his feet. In his shaken condition this seemed more than he could bear. But as he stared at the apparition it changed suddenly into the figure of Ravengar, his enemy.
 Sebastian sank back trembling into his chair, and Ravengar came forward with easy nonchalance and stood be fore him, smiling gravely at him.
 "Yes, Sebastian Navarro, the game Is up,' he said "Your wife is at the

the only person who knows the secret"
 They went up the stairs together. Ravengar unlocked a door and opened it. Leontine looked with wonder into the interior. She saw what seemed to be an ordinary laboratory, suc,i as chemist might have. But why did Ra- vengar want a laboratory2
 This is my secret" said Ravengar, taking up a bottle containing a few black pellets and placing it before the girl. Although they aprear black when seen through the medium of the glass, if you held them in your had you would see nothing. They are absolute black. Ordinary black, as you know, is not really black at all-that is to say, it is not invisibility, as black should be. It is, instead, composed of a blending of hues. Real black is in- visible.
 This is absolute black. The pellets We're found upon ledge-Ravengar' s ledge-in the South Atlantic. They were the discovery of the scientist, Jo- seph Dexter"
 Leontine started. She had heard the name before, but when or where she could not think.
 ''Ie wrote of his discovery in his journal. Wait. will get it for you" continued Ravengar.
 Upon the table was the invisible mantle. Leaving it with the pellets in front of the open window, Ravengar turned away and went toward a safe that stood in the corner. Leontine fol- lowed him.
 T have his journal here" Ravengar continued, beginning to open the safe. Some day it will be published and will make interesting reading. Here it is."
 He took out a cover containing a number of sheets of waterstained pa per, closed the safe, and went back toward the table, to lay the journal down. Then he started and stared al- ternately at the table and at Leontine. The cloth and the bottle of pellets were gone.
 The pellets!" gasped Ravengar. They were here a moment ago."
 T haven't touched them. You must nave put them somewhere" answered Leeatine.
 Rayengar began hunting for them hurriedly, but he could find them mo- where. Both the pellets and the cloth were gone.
 You may have taken them to the safe,' Leontine suggested.

and clear himself" suggested Raven gar.
 Leontine shook her head mournfully. No, there is no hope" she answered sadly.
 But you can never tell" Ravengar persisted. Be true to your love, for Jerry, and all will be we'll"
 They were the words which had been uttered on the first occasion when she saw the mysterious hands and eyes. Leontine started back in fear. She looked at Ravengar searchingly.
 He smiled. There was something sad and charming in the inscrutable look upon his face.
 What do you meanf" she cried. What do you know about Jerry? Who are you?"
 Ravengar smiled still. q? I am only your shielding shadow" he re- piled.
 But what is your mysterious power?' asked the girl excitedly "Whence comes your ability to appear and disappear at will?"
 Have you forgotten the invisible mantle?"
 No, but that only intensifes the mystery. Why is it invisible? And why is it invisible on one side and not on the other?"
 Ravengar took her by the hand. Do you trust me, Leontine?" he inquired. Do you, who have been surrounded by so much evil, trust to my good mo- tivesY'
 "How can help but trust you?" re- piled the girl.
 ''Then come with me-" he answered, "and I will show you"
 
 Leontine and Ravengar got out of taxicab and entered a house in a quiet part of the town. Ravengar opened the door.
 T do not live here," he said. T rent an upper floor for use as labo- ratory. It is necessary that I should not have 1t in my home, for fear of its discovery by our enemies. You are

Ravengar shook his head. Neverthe- less, he went back to the safe and opened it again. The quest was fruit less. The bottle was nowhere to be found.
 That window exclaimed Raven gar. Was it open when I went to the safe?"
 T don't think so," Leontine an- swered.
 The window, which was of the French variety, and had been closed when they entered, was now slightly open. They looked out The house was set near another of similar archi- lecture. and between the two there ran q narrow passage. A window in the adjacent house was set opposite the laboratory window. It would have been just possible for an agile man. seated upon the sill, to have stretched out his arm and reached the bottle of pellets.
 "We must find out who is in the next house." said Ravengar to Leon tine. If somebody has taken it, we must get him before he escapes us"
 He darted from the room. Leontine following him, and they rushed down the stairs and gained the street to- gether. There was an immense crowd, a policeman was standing beside an auto, in which appeared a second po- iceman. He and the chauffeur were supporting figure, but whether of man or woman neither Ravengar nor Leontine could see above the heads of the crowd which pressed in front of them.
 AS Ravengar tried to clear way to the auto the first policeman raised his hand, and the auto moved away, carrying the injured person, the second policeman and the chauffeur. Raven gar managed to reach the official who was now dispersing the crowd.
 "Accident?" he asked.
 Them joy riders knocked down a fellow that was coming out of the al- ley here. They've taken him to St. Luke's," answered the policeman.
The Carlisle independent., 1917-10-04

 He was too far away to hear their cries distinctly. He turned his head and listened. Presently he caught sight of the swimmer in the water. Naturally he came to the conclusion that the men in the auto were calling attention to his predicament.
 He pulled in his rod, started the motor boat, and began chugging his way toward Sebastian, who was still swimming strongly in his direction.
 The watchers saw the motor boat draw up toward him. The fisherman leaned over and grasped Sebastian by the wrists. Sebastian hauled himself up out of the water. clung for a mo- ment to the side of the boat, and man aged to scramble in.
 As Sebastian gained the shelter of the boat the police saw him turn upon the fisherman and deal him buf- fet which sent him sprawling into the sea.
 Sebastian, without troubling further about him, started the engine again, and the motor boat sped swiftly sea ward, while the police watched help lessly from the auto.
 
 Sebastian and his whereabouts were next to nothing in Leontine's mind as she bent over the unconscious Raven gar within the hall of her husbands house.
 Presently Ravengar stirred and opened his eyes. They fixed them selves upon Leontine's, and, with a sob of thankfulness, she leaned over him and kissed his forehead.
 He rose weakly, and she assisted him to a couch in the library. They were hardly seated before the police lieutenant came in. Leontine looked at him in mute inquiry.
 The lieutenant shook his head. "He made his getaway in a motor boat, and added murder to his crimes" he said.
 Briefly he detailed what had hap pened and, excusing himself, took his departure. Leontine remained silent She knew now that so long as Sebas- tion lived there copld never be any peace for her.
 And Jerry's name, for which she had fought so long, still remained un- cleared7-the convict's brand was on him. Tears came into her eyes.
 He will never return" she sobbed as Ravengar tried to comfort her, and I can never clear poor Jerrys name of the accusation of forgery"
 Perhaps Jerry will return some day

The doctor stared about him in the utmost bewilderment.
 "Where is he? What has happened ?" gasped the doctor
 Ravengar spun round Don't stand there talking, but obey mer' he shout ed. Hold the door fast and don't iet him out even if you don't see hiIn com ing. That man is a dangerous erimi- nal with a secret power of making lsHi- self invisible"

police station. and shortly you will be arrested and on the way to paying the penalty for your crimes"
 Sebastian shook with fear. "Why do you persecute rneY he groaned.
 You have one chance of escape, so far as your wife and are concerned" R&vengar continued. If you will write a confession of the crime which sent Jerry Carson to prison, we will caA eff the police and let you go free.
The Carlisle independent., 1917-10-04

Ravengar leaped out of the taxicab the moment it stopped at the hospital gates and assisted Leontine down. He paid the driver and went inside The clerk acknowledged that a patient had just been brought in, suffering from the effects of an auto ~obile accident.
 They hurried to Sebastian's bedsi 1e. Already Sebastian had seen them; his eyes were fixed in hatred upon his wife's Leontine, unmoved, returned his stare. And then there happened an extraordinary thing.
 The face of the man on the bed went out. The neck and shoulders followed it. Sebastian had disappeared.

SERVICE HAS TO

One of the interesting and import ant features of the modern auto is its electric equipment and the most important feature of this equipment Is the storage battery. II il goes bad the car is out of commission. In speaking of storage batteries and their capacity, Mir Pafford of the Schweit- ger Machine company made the fol- lowing important statement
 Every little point in the construc tion of a storage battery counts for something and good construction is very important in insuring long life.

PHOENIX MAN |S
 COMP ANY $ HEAD

F.. w. Bennett of Phoenix. has be- come general manager of the Los Angeles Trailer company, one of the growing concerns of the southwest. Of this enterprise engaged in the manufacture of trailers for motor service, the Los Angeles Times has the following very interesting story:
 It was one thing 70 conceive an idea of trailers. but quite a different problem to put this idea into success full practice.
 An exhaustive investigation of so- called trailers that were little more than stout wagons soon proved their inability 10 stand up under the strain of automobile usage, and demonstrated many engineering weak nesses. Past theories and practices were discarded, and two and four wheel trailers Of all-steel construc- ton were manufactured for the sole purpose of carrying loads at a high rate of speed behind motor cars and trucks. This accomplished in utility trailers is responsible for the rapid growth of the Los Angeles Trailer
 Two years ago J. N Patterson. now president and sales manager of the Los Aneelese Trailer company, and c. A Norton, the companys engineer. rented a small storeroOm on East Washington street and start ed to manufacture trailers. They had little machinery and brought little of the wealth of Detroit with them, but they had the determina- tion tO construct a properly balanced trailer which would stand the rough usage given equipment handled at motor speed.
 They accomplished this by building trailer along motor truck lines which has stood the acid test with out a single important mishap, and which does not injure in any way the light automobile or heavy truck which furnishes the motive power. There are 100 different lines of business which have adopted trail CTS, which materially assist iu their i hauling problem, and special models were built to meet their requirements. The Los Angeles Trailer company i grew rapidly. IL was soon proven that a properly constructed trailer would materially reduce hauling costs. After changing their location sev- eral times. necessitated the ever ] growing business, each time into 1 larger quarters. the Los Angeles 1 Trailer company. now incorporated | located in real factory building. | With additional space, additional ! capital was needed. F.. w. Bennett i q member of the Bennett Lumber company of Phoenix Arizona, was in duceG to become part of the organiza ton and take the general manage ment of the company.
 Reduce Cost
 In what ways do trailers reduce hauling cost?" was a question re- gently asked Mir. Bennett.
 | Tt is all a question of carrying power and pulling power he re- piled Carrying power utilized alone means waste Utilizing pulling power as well means economy and full ef- ficiency: This is a practice which i. | being realized more and more and has materially reduced hauling costs.

EVANS SCHOOL FINISHES SEASON WITH FIVE STRAIGHT VICTORIES, PHOENIX HIGH IS LAST VICTIM

Evans school ended its baseball sea son yesterday with an unblemished rec ord. Phoenix High school was its fltth consecutive victim. the Phoenix lads going down in the dust Of defeat by a score of 9 to 6.
 Although Phoenix outhlt Evans two to one. getting twelve hits to thelr opponents six, the hits were scattered and sharp fielding cut off many runs.
 Lowell of Evans. pitched a corking good game. He had remarkable con trol. passing only one man. The Phoe- nix pitchers on the other hand were wild and gave eight bases on balls. Evans felt keenly the loss of Krueger, their star player, who has gone to Marlin. Texas to try out with the Chants. but in spite of the apparent weakness. they made good and did it with a bang.
 Batting honors for the day were car ried off by Gilleland of Phoenix He obtained four hits, two of them dou- bles Carlysle of Evans. playing first. was the star of the game for the prep school boys. digging them out of the dirt. and hauling down wild throws with the abandon of a big leaguer.
 Evans took the heart out of Phoe nix in the first inning. when they SCOT ed five runs Horne, the first man up. grabbed pass, Lowell singled, but Horne was tagged out trying to make third Lowell then made second when Bryant muffed Tannehilrs throw. He stole third later. Baldwin was passed. Roberts singled. scoring Lowell and Baldwin came in on an error. An other error, base on balls and John sons hit accounted for two more runs Phoenix made an inneffectual attempt to come back in the next inning, but could only put over three runs.
 In the ninth inning Phoenix again made an effort to rally, making three hits in succession.
