you'll take my advice, I'd say, let's

He reached into pocket, drew out
the badge Of Chinatown guide and
pinned it on the breast of his coat.
II quite agree with you, Mr.. Nc
Kabe," Dual assented. "In keeping
with your suggestion would advise
that we go as a party, seemingly, of
tourists under your leadership. Miss
Bbote must go along, at all events, to
identify the woman when we meet
her, and Colonel Sheldon and Mr..
Reich know the girl"
McKabe rose.
you're runnin' the show" he re-
marked. 1--WE may as we'll set out"
"And ! suppose" sneered Reich,
that you think this woman you're
hunting is going to walk up and let us
see her. Do you?" He turned to
Dual.
"That is exactly what I do sup
pose" Semi replied. "As to her voli-
ton in the matter, that is different
affair. At present, however, she has
no reason to believe that we are in
the city, and will feel no special need
for keeping concealed. Now l think
we are ready. Comet"

We left the hotel. and McKabe led
us through Union Square, where the
tall shaft holds the flying "Victory"
aloft. 1t came to me in that moment
that to one superstitious it might
seem like an augury of fortune to US
who were setting out under a fog
streaked sky to fight battle for the
freedom of human victim.
Late as it was more than one per-
son still sat on the benches of the
little park as we passed. They glanced
up and probably judged us as a party
of sightseers we seemed. One of them
even spoke to McKabe and received a
nod in turn.
Our guide turned at Stockton and
Sutter and led us down TO Grant,
turned again and led us straight along
the latter up gradually rising course
I toward our destination.
It was nearly ten, with sky over
cast and hidden by the streamers OF
fog, through which the moon sought
to shine and only succeeded in throw
ing a sort of silver sheen.
The very air seemed damp, as
though full of an impalpable mist, so
that the sidewalks glistened with a
faint moisture as we advanced up the
hill. After time we came to the top
and the edge of Chinatown itself.

AUTO ovERHAuLs TRAIN.

Chief Lands Fugitive.

After a mad race, covering eighteen
miles, between an express train on
the Laurel line and high powered au-
tomobile, which had been requisition-
ed by Chief of Police Roberts Of
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, the latter captured
a man accused of fiim-famming q
Wilkes -Barrean, as he stepped from
the train in Scranton, Pa.
The fugitive got away with ten
minute start; but the big racing car
cut down the running time, and the
officers were waiting at the station at
Scranton for their man, who was TAX
en- back to Wilkes-Bare
The running time of the train was
thirty-fve minutes, and the automo-
bile travelled little over a mile q

A boltless rail joint is being dem
onstrated to several Maine railroad
companies. Like the rail joints now
generally in use the ends of the rails
are clamped together by fishplates
but instead of the four bolts through
the fishplates and the rails the new
invention has a tapering wedge held
in place by a nut.
This wedge fits firmly against the
Ifishplate inside the rail and is push
ed forward tightly into place against
the plate and the rail by simply turn
ing the nut.
The inventor, Portland man.

the ends of rails always uniform, do

"But how do they git by with that

inquired Colonel Mac.
"Under our, feet would be a better

Kabe. "We're wise it's goin' on, but

My spirits rose. 1t was direct
statement. Never in all my knowledge
of him had known him to make such
a prediction without reason.
The night took on new beauty as l
turned his assurance in my mind and
felt my courage rise for the final at
tack in the fight we were waging.
Rather than break the mood rose
and held out my hand.
Dual took 1t with smile of under
standing and I said good night.
The next day passed with little Of
incident to record. Reich and Shell
don stuck pretty close. Dual, Miss
Foote, and passed the morning on
the observation platform, and in the
afternoon 1 joined Reich and the colo
mel in the buffet.
Evening came and brought US into
the valley of the Sacramento, down
which we fled toward Oakland. A
gradual chill and the tang of salt air
crept into the breeze as we rushed on
ward, until at length we ran under a
long steel shed and stopped.
Some time after that l stood on the
front of ferry and gazed across a
stretch of black water toward the
illuminated face of clock in tower,
and rows on rows of twinkling lights
which rose back and beyond it, and
other pin points Of red and green and
yellow, which threw trembling reflec-
tions into the bay.
1t was my first sight Of the phenix
Of the Golden Gate - San Francisco,
decked like queen, in scintillating
diadem of light.

CHAPTER vi.
To the Golden Gate.

TO the Golden Gate.
It was eight by the clock in the
tower of the slip when we docked on
the San Francisco side.
Dual took instant control and hur-
ried us to the street front, where he
bundled us into taxi and cried to the
driver for haste.
My first impression of the city was
Of long street paved in asphalt, lin
ed by massive structures of granite
and steel, brick, and concrete. lighted
by a million points of sparkling light,
coursed by thousand gorgon-eyed
motors and a hundred changing troll
1eys, where blue.coated traffic men
checked us or waved us onward in un-
disputed direction, under a dimly mis-
ty atmosphere, which subconsciously
knew was fog.
Out of this we presently turned into
a quieter street, stormed up hill and
stopped before the arched and pillar
ed entrance to a massive white build
ing, from whose doors charged squad
of pages who seized on our bags and
escorted us across yellow marble
foyer to yellow marble desk, where
we inscribed our names in massive
tome, lettered Hotel st. Francis at the
top of each page. ~
Such was the beginning of a rather
eventful night.
Dual took a suite with three bed
rooms and parlor; two pages stag
gered to the elevators with our bag
gage and led us to our rooms, unlock
ed the doors, piled our bags, pulled up
one blind and lowered another, chased
an imaginary fly from table, accept
ed their largess and left.

and Colonel Mac fairly gasped as he
whirled toward him and repeated the
one word, 'To-night?" in a way
which showed he was far from con-

But it was on Reich that the words
had the most marked effect. He actu-
ally swayed on his feet and his face
seemed to me to grow almost CHASTITY
like that of one who has received an
unexpected shock.

God how can you? What can we do

''It is of that we must speak," said
Semi Dual. First" = he turned to
Miss Foote - will you, Miss Lucille,

company from New York boasts that

But all OF these doughboys are ar

the admiration OF their comrades who
can speak the tongue without an ac-

diers.
The new units have dragged their
clean and fresh-lOoking equipment,
such as supply wagons, camp kitchens,
machine gun OUTFITS, and all that Is
needed up into the Alsace and Lorraine
hills. The line runs up and down
steep mountain sides and across pretty
valleys. 10 Is beautiful country, and a
fine place 10 be initiated 10 the front,
