CHAPTER XVIII.
Arsene I Emperor Of Mauritania

Arsene I Emperor Of Mauritania.
Don Luis ceased. A smile of
amusement played round his lips.
The recollection of those four
minutes seemed to divert him i'm
mensely. :
Valenglay and the Project of
Police, who we're neither of them
men to be unduly surprised at
courage and GOODNESS, had listened
to him, nevertheless, and were
now looking at him in bewilder-
cred silence. Was it possible for
a human being to carry heroism
to such unlikely lengthsY
Meanwhile, he went up to the
other side of the chimney and
pointed to a larger map, repre-
senting the French roads.
"You told me, Monsieur lie
President, that the scoltndrel's
motor car had left Versailles and
was going toward Manifest"
eyes, and all our arrangements
are made to arrest him either on
the way, or at Nantes or at Saint
Nazaire, where he may intend to
take ship"
Don Luis Perenna followed
with his forefinger the road
across France, stopping here and
there, marking successive stages.
And nothing could have been
more impressive than this dumb
show.
The man that he was, preserv-
ing his composure amid the over
throw of all that he had most at
heart, seemed by his calmness to
dominate time and circumstances.
1t was >as though the murderer
were running away at one end of
an unbreakable thread of which
Don Luis held the other, and as
though Don Luis could stop his
flight at any time by a mere
movement Of his finger and
thumb.
AS he studied the map, the
master seemed to command not
only a sheet of cardboard, but al
so the highroad on which a mo-
tor a was spinning along, SUBJ
ject to his despotic will.
He went back to the table and
continued:
"The battle was over. And
there was no question of it's be-
ing resumed. My AZ worthless
found themselves face to face
with a conqueror, against whom
revenge is always possible, by fair
means or foul, but with n who
had subjugated them in a super
natural manner. There was no
other explanation of the inexplic-
able facts which they had wit
messed. l. was a sorcerer, a kind
of marabout, q direct emissary
of the Prophet"
Valenglay laughed and said:
"Their Interpretation was not
so very unreasonable, for after
all, you must have performed a
slight-of-hand trick which strikes
me also as being little less than
miraculous"

W., B. AND A. HAS ITS
BUSIEST GROSS MONTH.
Earnings Of The Electric Not
Entirely Due To Camp Meade
Business Is Claim.

Gross earnings for April were the
largest ever reported by the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railroad Company. Total gross for
the month was approximately $212,000.
The official statement of earnings
for April has not yet been compiled,
and net earnings cannot be ascertain
ed definitely, but it is expected that
substantial gain will be made over
April of last year. Freight and pas
senger traffic both continued heavy all
through the month.
AS has been explained by President
George T. Bishop, the bulk of the en-
ormous business which is being done
by the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis,is not coming from Camp
Meade. only about 40 per cent of the
total being attributed to the Govern
ment cantonment. while 81 per cent.
comes from other sources. This, at
least, was the ratio shown in April,
as well as in the first four months of
the current year The same ratio was
also recorded in the total result of
operations for the IL months ended
December 81, 1917.

VAUDEVILLE SHOW AT
SAUNDERS RANGE
Local Amateurs Under Direction
Of Miss Cora Heffenger, Give
Good Performance.

A party of well known amateurs
gave a very successful vaudeville
show at Saunders Range yesterday
(Tuesday,) under the personal direc-
ton of Miss Cora Heffenger. The
audience, composed of soldiers sta
toned there was a most enthusiastic
one and very large, a number of men
being perched among the rafters in
the roof of the hall, where their vOcif-
erous applause literally made "the
rafters ring"
1t was a great pleasure tS those
who gave their time and talents to the
entertainment of these boys" who are
giving all for their country, to feel
that they were thoroughly enjoying
the efforts made for their amusement.
The party consisted of Mrs. Wolcott,
Hall. Mrs. G. r. Clements, Miss Nellie
Milliken, Mr.. c. l.. Clemson and Miss
Tempil Russell. Some of these ladies
and gentlemen have made notable sue
cesses at Camp Meade during the sea-
son and last night was a repitition of
them naturally to be expected.

JUDGE ROBERT MOSS
TALKS ON WORST EVIL.
Makes Stirring Address Before
The Mothers Circle. Other
Features Of The Meeting.

Judbe Robert Moss made a strong
address yesterday afternoon before
the Mothers Circle at their well-at-
tended meeting in the Grammar
School. The Judge spoke on Alcohol
ism and It's effect upon humanity, and
stated points at issue from his expert
ence as a criminal lawyer He said
there is no falling in a man that liquor
dones not make worse. II enhances
all the vices and failings in a mans
nature, and develops the bad in him
1t eXcites the passions and leads to vi
ciousness.
The Judge said he never knew a
drunken man to keep his word and he
had never known a bright and intel
lectual man to be addicted to drunken
mes. intemperance is the worst evil
OF the day, the Judge, said, and the
habit of drink is the worst of all in
temperte habits. He deplored tho ex-
ample and influence of the movies on
the young men. He said while not op-
posed TO them himself, he felt that TO
herd children into the movie shows
night after night like so many sheep
was not a good thing "If you take
your boy" said the Judge to see burg
laries and watch his fascination of
thieving don't be surprised if you find
your child a thief" Have the children
read good books Find amusement in
the home. said the Judge
He said the day of liquor is past. 1t

ed men, been responsible for murder

ton plant, where there are men able

tablished o. X, only 80 being lost,
