they would be in direct range. AS
Ethel and John came back from the
stable he addressed the latter in a
friendly voice.
Suppose you draw up some simple
articles of agreement as to how we
shall work the mine when we find ii,
Davis"
Cali right responded the one adj
dressed. Going to the table which had
been placed in range by the plotter he
seated himself and began writing.
Morgan, pointing, down the canyon at
an imaginary object, thus diverted the
attention of the girl while he grasped
the string. The next instant there
was a flash, roar and cloud Of
smoke.
Startled by the explosion so close
behind her, Ethel turned upon the in
slant to see Davis pitching forward
out Of his chair and falling hands out
stretched upon the floor. With cry
she brushed by Morgan and ran to-
man, the Hawk close following on her
heels. Together they lifted John up.
Across the side OF hts head was the
track Of bullet where 1t had plowed
its way, grazing his temple and stun
ming him. Owing to the fact that the
injured man had turned his head to
look at the pair just at the instant
that the shot was fired, the bullet
merely had missed his brain. Paus-
ing only long enough to see that his
plot had again failed, the Hawk left
his would-be victim to the ministra-
tons Of the girl and hurrying to the
cellar removed the pistol, concealed
the line and went back to meet Rain
face and Bridget Wegan.
"It was another dastardly attempt
on his life by the mysterious stran-
GER" explained Morgan with an as
sumption of great Indignation. Point
ing to the hole in the floor he told
them that the shot had come through
it, and turned to Davis.
1.-TWO attempts on your life and one
on mine," he said. "We cannot let
this thing go on. Suppose we go and
search the vicinity?"
s'He must have a cup of tea first
to brace him up after this insisted
the kindly hearted Irish woman, and
Morgan agreed.
Leaving John for his cup of re-
freshing brew the Hawk approached
the barn. AS he did so a. man came
sliding down the hillside, bringing up
at his feet in a cloud Of snow. In
stantly Morgan whipped out his pis-
toll, but in the act of firing stayed his
finger as he saw who the newcomer
was.
Spider Belfast" he exclaimed as
he replaced the weapon. "You made
good time in coming" The Spider
grinned.
Eyes, I got yer telegram. I could
have come up with the Indian and the
Biddy, but thought I'd better take
horse and the trail on the other side
Of the mountain. Well, now I'm here,
and what do you want Of mel"
Quickly Morgan explained his plan. |
ending by saying:
"As soon as Davis gets across,
show yourself and lead him on. Don't |
let him catch you. Just give me time |
to fix the thing up, then make a circle |
and meet me here tonight. Get me?"
With nod the Spider turned and
went up the canyon. Providing him
self with snowshoes and a small |
shovel and saw which he concealed |
beneath his coat, Morgan met Davis
at the door. He addressed the other |

ing to take this when he come to,
SO I guess I'd better be on the safe
side. He is liable to start in being

truss him up for the time being until
I can find out how he wants to act.
Might as well tie handkerchief over
his face, too, in case he should be a
mite curious or want to start trou-
ble."
Hosting the still motionless one
upon his back, he started down a small
tunnel which evidently had been blast
ed from the rear OF the cave.
Back in the living room of the cabin
Rainface, knocking at the door of
EthePs room, listened moment for
response from within. None came

this time the girl listened, sat up in
her bed and then called out demand
ing to know who was there. The voice
OF the old Indian came family through
the door.
"Me, Rainface, knock. Young chief
he gone"
With little cry Ethel sprang from
the bed. Thrusting her feet into her
slippers, she drew on a wrap and
throwing the door ajar breathlessly
asked what had happened. Silently he
led to the lean-to. opened the door and
pointed at the bed. Then still un-
speaking but indicating by motions
that the window had been open he
stood immobile as he watched her face
Greatly alarmed and wholly puzzled
at the mystery Of it all, the girl stepped
back into the living room and opened
the outside door. A furry of snow
struck her in the face.
She turned to Rainface.
'Fire your gun. That will bring
Mr.. Morgan, and maybe Mr.. Davis is
with him."
With a nod the Indian drew his
weapon and fired twice into the night"
Within the harness room Morgan,
hearing the reports and knowing that
the alarm was raised, smiled grimly
as he drew on his coat. Leaving 1t
unopened as though he had responded
with the greatest Of haste, he rushed
out IN the direction Of the cabin,
throwing open the door and entering.
''What is the matter? 1 heard the
shots and came as quickly as COULD"
ne exclaimed as he looked into the
agitated face of the girl. Quickly she
approached him.

he was about to reply sound as of

Them to wheel with a start. For an
instant they stood looking into each
stker's face, then striding to the door
Morgan threw il open, and the form
Of Davis lnrched heavily into the room.
Quickly Morgan and Rainface grasped
kim, and closing the door laid him on
a rsbe before the fire. Clasping her
hands in her anxiety Ethel bent over
him, while Rainface severed the bonds
by which the Hermit had bound him
before he had brought him there and
hurled the stone against the building.

Morgan, on the roof of the lean-to

great bowie knife just grazed him as
John, by desperate twist of his arm,
@verted it, allowing 1t to plunge it

Just as the knife buried itself in
the mattress it was violently swayed
sidewise and stood there quivering, as
though the long rake handle to which
e was strapped had been released by
the hands which had held it from
above.
As Morgan upon the roof made his
last shove with the lance at the one
below whom he was endeavoring to
slay, from out of the darkness larfat

shoulders as he knelt there. From

GERMAN LABEL MISSING
 FROM RECENT PRODUCTS

LONDON, Oct 27.-The once famil- jar Made in Germany" is not appear ing on products of German manufac- ture since the armistice which are find ing their way into continental mar kets. An American salesman who has just returned to London from Italy has several samples of the goods German firms are distributing there. Each bears some symbol, but not the three old words. A cutlery firm has its name in a semi-circle at the base of the blades, and under it is stamped a lion.
 The salesman told the Associated Press: q saw many new German made articles in Italy priced far be- low what American manufacturers can produe them for. I was surprised to find that the Germans were offering from twelve to eighteen months credit"

 Mangus Munson, a Dawson man. was so badly clawed by bear at Cof- fee creek short time ago that he has since been in the hospital and has undergone an operation. His nose was broken, his face was seriously scratched, and he was severely bruised and scratched about the legs and arms. He will recover.

 A warrant was issued recently by the United States mGiiiissiotier in Ju- 1eau for Arvid Franzen, who has been acting as secretary of the Alaska La- bor Union in that place. The con- plaint was sworn to by Gerald J. Quinn, who claimed that Franzen at tempted to kill him with a revolver Quinn alleges that he and Franzen had an argument in the union hall which ended in a fist fight. He also alleges that during the fight Franzen drew a gun and would have shot him had not bystanders interfered. As it was, the gun was discharged and the bullet hit bystander in the toe.
 The grand jury at Juneau, which recently concluded it's session, acted on 61 cases, of which 32 were original investigations; found 43 true bills and one not true bill. The grand jury found that many of the so-called soft drink parlors of the city were in real ity blind pigs in all but a few in stances, owned by foreigners not in sympathy with our laws and institu- lions. The jury recommended the de- portation by the federal authorities of a number or these foreigners. The Jury also recommended an increase in pay of the jurors, the rate being $3 per diem in the First division. To bet ter conserve the fisheries of the terri tory the jury recommended that aliens be not allowed to fish in Alaska waters and that license system be adopted for fishermen. The jury stated that while it could not secure evidence to convict, it was a fact that gambling was being carried on in Juneau and other towns of the First division, and urged the authorities to adopt the old "blue ticket" method of getting rid of many of the undesirables hanging about the city.
