narrow beat beside the bed his anger
gave way to anxiety. Surely the Pag-
ets could not believe he had done such
q thing. And Sheba-would she &C
cept a. true this weight Of circum-
stantial evidence that was pillng up

1t could all be explained 20 easily.
And yet-the facts fitted like links Of
q chain to condemn him. He went
over them one by one. The babbling
tongue Of Selfridge that had made
common gossip Of the impending trag-
edy In which he and Macdonald were
the principals-his purchase Of the
automatic-his public meeting with
two known enemies Of the Scotsman,
during which he had been seen to give
them money-his target practice with
the new revolver-the unhappy chance
that had taken him out to Seven-Mile
Greek Camp the very day Of the rob
bery-his casual questions Of the min
ers-even the finding Of the body by
him. All of these dove-tailed with
the hypothesis that his partners in
crime were to escape and bear the
blame, while he was to bring the body
back to town and assume innocence.
Paget was admitted to his cell later
in the morning by Gopher Jones. He
shook hands with the prisoner. Jones
retired.

said.

The chip dropped from the young
mans shoulder. "Good old Diane. I

new cheerfulness.

They talked for few minutes long

Peter left the prisoner in very much
better spirits than he had found him.

CHAPTER xv.

"ood Save You Kindly"
A nurse from the hospital had 70
lieved Diane and Sheba at daybreak.
They slept until the middle Of the aft
ernoon, then under orders from the
doctor walked out to take the air. The

ures rushed at him. He threw up an
arm to ward of the club aimed at his
head, but succeeded only In breaking
the force Of the blow. Az he staggered
back stunned. a bullet glanced along
his forehead and ridged q furrow
through the thick hair. A second
stroke Of the club Jared him to the
heels.
Though his mind was not clear, his
body answered automatically the in
stinct that told him to close with his
assailants. He lurched forward and
gripped one, wrestling with him for
the revolver. Vaguely he knew by the
sharp. Jagged shoots Of pain that the
second man was beating his head with
a club. The warm blood dripped
through his hair and blinded his eysA
Dazed and shaken, he yet managed 10
get the revolver from the man who had
1t. But 1t was his last effort. He was
too far gone to use It. A blow ON the
forehead brought him unconscious to
the ground bleeding from a dozen
wounds.
On his way back to Seven Mile Greek
camp Gordon Elliot rode down to the
ford. In the dusk he was almost upon
them before the robbers heard him.
For a moment the two men stood gaz-
ing at him and he at the tragedy be-
fore him. One Of the men moved
toward his horse.
"Stop there !" ordered Gordon sharp
ly, and reached for his revolver.
The man-it was the miner North
rup-jumped for Elliot and the field
agent fred. Another moment and he
was being dragged from the saddle.
What happened next was never clear
to him. He knew that both Of the
bandits closed in on him and that he
was fighting desperately against odds.
The revolver had been knocked from
his hand and he fought with bare fists
just as they did.
They quartered over the ground, for
Gordon would not let either of them
get behind him. They were larger
than he, heavy, muscle-bound giants
of great strength, but he was far more
active on his feet. He jabbed and
and retreated. More than
once their heavy blows crashed on
his face. His eyes dared not wander
from them for an instant, but he was
working toward definite plan. As he
moved his feet were searching for the
automatic he had dropped. iNf@
I One Of his feet. dragging over the
ground, came into contact with the
steel. With a swift side kick Gordon
flung the weapon dozen feet to the
left. Presently, watching HIS chance,
he made dive for 1t.
Trelawney, followed by Northrup,
turned and ran. One Of them caught
Macdonald's horse BY the bride. He
swung to the saddle and the other man
clambered on behind. There was
clatter OF hoofs and they were gone.
Elliot stopped over the battered body
that lay huddled ut the edge Of the
wafer; So badly. had the face been
beaten and hammered, that; 1t was not

HOUSING PLAN
FOR MAYSVILLE
MUST BE SOLVED
Maysville Has Opportunity to Secure
Large Tobacco Plant Employing
300 or More II Housing Facil-
tiles Can BE Provided.

At the Chamber of Commerce BAN
quet on Monday evening, Secretary
Carl Dodds announced that the city
of Maysville has an opportunity to Sc
cure tobacco plant in the very near
future that will give employment to
300 or more men bringing fully that
number of families to our city.
The Secretary said Mr.. e. T. Kirk,
who is in charge of the r. j. Rey-
nolds Tobacco Company's interests in
this section of the state had informed
him that Maysville could secure this
large factory and there was only one
thing that kept us from securing 1t
Immediately and that was the one big
problem that is now facing every in
dustrial community in the country
the housing problem.
Mr.. Dodds suggested community
organization which would purchase
available property in and near the
city and erect thereon houses that
would make modern homes which
could be rented to factory workers at
reasonable monthly rentals. He sug-
gested that such a company be organ
lied in Maysville in the very near flu
ture to take over the available build
ing property in the city and that stock
be sold to every one in denominations
as low at $25 or $50 share.
Maysville has grown to be one of
the largest tobacco centers in the en-
tire country and only one thing is now
needed to make of our little city the
city 1t should be and that is few
payrolls distributing large sums Of
money regularly each week into the
channels of trade. Maysville is prl-
marily a city dependant upon the sur
rounding agricultural country but
with the coming of the big tobacco
industry here there is a splendid OPP
portunity to make Maysville also a
manufacturing city for the large to-
bacco concerns have begun to realize
the Importance of having their fac
tories near the raw material market.
There is every reason to believe
that the community corporation idea
as suggested by Mr.. Kirk and Secre-
tary Dodds would be success and it
is expected that the matter will be
looked into farther. 1t was though
such plan that the first large Amer
lean Tobacco plant was brought to
Maysville and though such n plan
houses can be built and furnished the
800 new families that this proposed
large tobacco factory would bring to
us.
Maysville has long needed a tobacco
factory and this is our opportunity
to secure it, The only problem to be
solved to make the plant a Maysville
plant is the housing problem and its

MORE MASON FOUNTAINS IN
COLLEGE Than EVER BEFORE
Many of Our Young Men Take Advan-
tage OF the s, A. T. c. and Enroll
In Some Kentucky College.

1t is reported that never before in
the history of Mason county have so
many Maysville and Mason county
men and women been in attendance
at the Kentucky colleges. Most every
college in the state has Masonian
on its. roll and some of the colleges
have a large number from this coun-
ty.
The Student Army Training Course
offered by the Kentucky colleges
whereby all of the expenses of the
student are paid and they receive in
addition the regular private's salary,
has attracted many of the young men
of the state to the colleges and all of
them are reported to be filled to over
flowing but they are making room for
every young man in the state who de-
sires to take advantage of the wonder
full offer made by the government.
1t became known here yesterday
that young men who are even II years
of age and who have been registered
may enter in the course and remain
until they are called in the draft.
This announcement caused a number
Of local men who had thought they
were barred by reason of their hav-
ing registered, to get busy on the jol
and it is expected that several more
will be off to college within a short
time.

Clty's Books Is Made to
Members Of the City
COunciI,

At a special meeting of the men,
bers of the City Council as a com
mittee of the whole and behind closed
doors on Monday evening the official
report of the expert accountants who
have been going over the city's books

first time The report was referred to
the Ways and Means Committee who
will have charge of it until the next
regular meeting of Council and 1t will
then become public property and be
read into the records of the body.

shows the alleged embezzlement OF
former City Clerk George Wood

is not explained.
The Grand Jury meets again on
Thursday for the purpose of taking up
