I The Germans have been advertising

The Unwilling Guest

AFTER the light of dawn went out
Aupon the cliffs of Rhuda Nor, Doris
Mather hung for long while upon the
brink of an abyss. below her darkness,
above her light. She strove upward, but
in the dim moments of half-coCscicus-
ness was aware of force restraining
her and a recurrence of the odor IN
which the darkness had FIRST come. she
had n sense of motion and Of jolting. the
feeling of arms about her, descent,
the sound of water and the rocking or q
boat Brief glimpses she had OF sum
light. which revealed outlines dlmlS'
like the glow of SPINNER lightning upon
familiar objects, making them curiously
unfamiliar. John RiZzio's face persisted
in these visions, fantaStlc klzZlo' nuch
larger than the man she knew, deferen,
tial and punctilious as ever, ana
strangely grave. A stout man with Il
swarthy face in a cap and brass but

against white clouds which seemed 10
be whirling rapidly past him. DULY she

She started up in her bed and looked
out of the portfolio to see the amber

Then she heard the wOman's voice

Doris turned and looked at her. a
woman of middle age, with kindly
face dressed i'm white linen.
What yacht is this?' she asked.
"The Sylph, miss-Mr. Rizzio's," she
replied.
Doris thought for moment. The
last thing her waking consciousness re-
membered were the cliffs of Rhuda Nor.

again.
The woman shook her head II don't

Her manner was kind and most re-

was obeying instructions.

DESPERATE JAIL BREAKERS

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-With the four criminals who cut their way from the county jail Thursday night reported fleeing toward the Illinois-Iowa line by way of Rock Island, John Kempter, the guard, who is held responsible for their escape, gave himself up to- day and will be held pending an in vestigatiOn of alleged discrepancy in the stories he has told of the affair.
 The four desperate fugitives, Earl Dear and Lloyd Bopp, both convicted murderers, under sentence of death, Big Joe" Moran, nationally known as a safe blower, and Frank McErlane, who was facing trial as an accessory in staying. are expected to put up a hard battle, if surrounded.
 James L.

The latest reports indicated that the men were fleeing in this direction after an attempt this morning to rob bank at Mount Nor ris Ill
