"You take this one," said Barnes,
land / will manage the other" He
was In hurry to get away from the
house. There was no telling when the
government agents would descend
upon the place.
Barnes helped Peter to lift the
trunks into the car and then ordered
him to start at once for Harris Tav-
ern.
You can return later on for your
things" he said.
Il got 'em tied up in bundle in the
garage, Mr.. Burns" he said. won't
take second to get 'em OUT He
hurried around the corner Of the
house.
A dry, quiet chuckle fell upon
Barnes ears. He glanced about in sur
prise and alarm. No one was In sight.
Look up, young man." and the
startled young man obeyed. His gaze
halted at window on the second
story, almost directly over his head.
Mr.. Sprouse was looking down upon
him, his sharp features fixed in q sar-
donic grin.
"Well, I'll be ID" burst from
Barnes lips.
Surprised to see me, Ell? If you're
not in hurry, I'd certainly appreciate
a lift as far as the Tavern, old man.
I'll be down in jiffy. Stand aside |
I'm going to drop" A moment later
he swung over the sill, and dropped
lightly to the ground eight feet below.
"See. here, Sprouse or whatever
your name is"
Better hear me out" broke in
Sprouse calmly 81 could drill a hole
through you so quickly you'd never

CHAPTER XIX.
A Trip by Night and a Late Arrlva

A Trip by Night and Late Arrival.
Shortly after shutdown that eve
ming, the Rushcreft company evacu-
ated Harris Tavern. They were de-
layed by the irritating and, to Mr..
Rushcroft, objectionable behavior of
two officious gentlemen, lately arrived,
who insisted politely but firmly on
prying into the past, present and fu-
ture history of the several members Of
the organization, including the new
"backer."
Barnes had devised very clever
plan for getting Miss Cameron away
from the tavern without attracting un-
due attention. She was to leave in
one of the automobiles that he had en-
gagged to convey the players to
Crowndale, where they were to
"show." In case of detention or in
quiry, she was to pose as stage
struck young woman who had OBJ
tanned place with the company at
the last moment through his influence
When the hour came for the depar-
ture from Harris Tavern he deliberate
ly engaged the two secret service men
in conversation in the taproom. Miss
Cameron left the house by the rear
door and was safely ensconced in Pc
ter's automobile long before he shook
hands with the "rat-catchers' and
dashed out to join her. Tommy Grays
car, occupied by the four players, was
moving away from the door as he
sprang in beside her and slammed the
door.
Peters efforts to stay behind Tom
mys venerable but surprisingly ener-
gasp and shudder from the couple who
sat behind him in the bounding car
He had orders to keep back of Tommy
but never to lose sight of his tail light
"Are you there?" he whispered.
Eyes. Isn't it jolly, running away
like this? 1t must be wonderfully ex-
citing to be criminal, always dodg-
ing and"
Ssh! Even a limousine may have
ears!"
But if the limousine had possessed
thousand ears they would have been
rendered useless in the stormy racket
made by Peters muffier and the thun-
derOus roar of the exhaust as the car
got under way
Sixty miles lay between them and
Crowndale. Tommy Gray guaranteed
that the distance could be covered in
three hours, even over the vile noun
tain roads. Ten o'clock would find
them at the Grand Palace hotel, none
the worse for wear, provided Che al
ways put it parenthetically) they lived
to tell the tale! The luggage had
gone on ahead of them earlier in the
day.
Soon after ten o'clock they entered
the town of Crowndale and drew up
before the unattractive portals of the
Grand Palace hotel. An arc lamp
swinging above the entrance shed, a
pitiless light upon the dreary, Godfor-
saken hostelry with the ironic name.
Miss Cameron was warmly con-
scious of the thrill that had come into
her blood when he carried her up the
stairs in his powerful arms, disdaining
the offer of assistance from the sud
denly infatuated Tommy Gray.
Rehearsal at eleven sharp" an
nounced Rushcroft. "Letter-perfect,
every one of you. No guessing. BY
the way, Miss-er-'pon my soul, l

JONES'" said the new member,
shamelessly.
Barnes went down to the dingy
lobby. A single, half-hearted electric
bulb shed it's feeble light on the desk.

Some Cold Facts

Fifty-nine degrees below zero was
registered in some parts of the Adj
rondacks last winter around the first
Of the year, according to weather sta
dstics. Better Tor worse) than that
was done by Jack Frost in Sweden,
where the temperature registered 70.6
below zero. And in some sections of
Alaska thermometers are absolutely
useless, the best of them freezing up
and refusing to tell how cold ii is. In
the dead of winter, in the interior of
Alaska. pure alcohol freezes into solid
blocks Of ice, as does kerosene.

Barnes was turning away when a
familiar voice assailed him.
Whirling, he looked into the face of
a man who stood almost at his elbow

Sprouse.

BUSINESS AHEAD FOR
THE SCHOOL SAMMIES

Organization of the schools of Ohio
for the 1919 War Savings campaign
is being completed. New features will
be introduced to interest the boys and

merit for work this year will be rec
ognized by a series of Presidential
Honor Stamps. First stamp in this
series will carry likeness Of Presi-
dent Washington and will be earned
for the sale of one $5 War Savings
Stamp.

War Savings Committee is furnish
ing a suitable fodler in which to paste
the Presidential Honor Stamps as
they are merited by the youngsters.
The twenty-seventh stamp, that car
| lying CllC plCIuIC VI ICSlucuL w lloVue
will be given when the pupils War
Saving Stamp sales have reached $10,-
900.
Each school room in the state will
be given specially designed, "Patri-
otism Thermometer" on which to in
dicate the stamp sales in the room.
The boys will compete with the girls
in the sale of W. S. S.
i Another feature to be introduced
this year is the "Honor Banner, fol
which the schools on each unit will
compete. The school having the high
est per capita sale for the week viii
be given possession of the banner ant
will hold it until some other schoo
exceeds the sales record.
, Sales reports by youngsters will b.
, credited from January 1, 1919. New

work are being forwarded to schools

mittee.
