[ savagely and dragged the table to the l far end of the room and struck me re- 1 peatedly, while struggled like mad ! man. The oaths and generations that streamed from my lips seemed to be | uttered by another man, for l heard them indifferently, or rather some \ thing that was I, deep in the maze Of my personality, heard them-not that pitifui, puny, goaded thing that fought in its bonds until 1t ceased, panting and exhausted. There followed a long silence, while Leroux strode furiously about the room. At last he stopped: he seemed to have made up his mind. saw Jacqueline looking at me. would not meet her gaze, but at last her persistence compelled me. Then saw her glance toward the wall.
 The two broadswords hung there within arms reach, above the broken mirror. My heart leaped up at the thought of her valor. She had no mind to yield.
 But I shook my head fmperceptibly in answer and looked down at my bonds.
 I had been trying hard to devise some method of freeing myself. My struggles had relaxed the ropes around my wrists sufficiently to allow my hands two or three inches of move nent, and I hoped, by hard work, to loosen them sufficiently to enable me to get at least one hand free.
 Then felt that something hard was pressing into my back, just within reach of my right thumb and fore finger. let my thumb and finger travel up and down 1t. It had the form of a tiny knife with heavy. founded handle.
 And suddenly. I knew what it was. It was the knife with which Louis d'Epernay had been killed!
 I could just get my finger and thumb round the point of the blade. The ropes scored deeply into my wrists as I worked at it, tut I felt the lining give. and presently, had worked the blade through and had the knife out by the handle.
 But 1t was made for thrusting more than cutting, and I had to pick the ropes to pieces strand by strand. Jacqueline had been imperceptlb1y edging away from her father and Le- roux; she was now standing immedi. ately beneath the rusty swords. And outside the door I still perceived La croix, motionless.
 It flashed across my mind that he understood the girls desperate ruse and that he was waiting for the issue picked furiously at the ropes which bound my hands, and long strand un' coiled and whipped back on my wrist. Leroux seized Jacqueline by the wrists and dragged her across the floor to me.
 / Look at him!" he yelled. Look into his face VIII you marry me if let him go freeP
 "No!" answered Jacqueline.
 'T swear to you that he shall be thrown from the top of the cataract unless you give your consent within five minutes"
 "Never !'' she answered firmly.
 "I will denounce your fatheF!" "You can't frighten me with such stuff. I am not a weak old man"
 "You will think differently after Charles Duchaine has been hanged in Quebec jail," he sneered. His words received a wholly unex- pected answer. The dotard leaped forward, stopped down and picked up the heavy roulette wheel He raised 1t aloft and staggered wildly toward Leronx. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

THIS IS REAL TEAL. FOWL STORY
Believe 1t or Not, This Long IsIant "chicken" Had Four
 Legs.

Sayville, L. I.-Capt. John Hodge suffered g. severe blow when Bedpost, his famous four-legged cockerel, was found dead.
 Out of Bedpost, the only four-legged chick ever seen in Sayville, the cap tain had hoped to found a breed of four-leggeds equivalent to four broil- CTS a chick.
 Captain Hodges next venture will be to feed sawdust mixture to a se- tected flock of Rhode Island Reds, with the idea of getting chicks with wooden legs.

cocktails, the tomato being the espe- cial favorite. 4. s,.... s.s.e. r.4--
 In preparing fruits for cocktails two things should be remembered: The fruit should stand in a sirup or sprinkled with sugar to be we'll sweet ened. To prepare the sirup use twice as much sugar as water and cook it until thoroughly dissolved. ~ The entire menu should be cons1d- cred when serving a fruit cocktail, Jas other fruits do not appear at the same meal. If a vegetable cocktail (put to- gether with some sort of salad dress ing) is served, the salad Is omitted for that meal.
 One of the most attractive cocktails may he made by using watermelon or muskmelon for the foundation. Cut the melon with a French potato cutter Into small balls and cover with a gin ger sirup, using the Canton ginger and bits of ginger; pour over the balls of canteloupe. For watermelon the dainty color makes a most effective dish: use the heart of the melon for balls and simple, lightly favored sirup of sugar water and lemon juice. It fs unwise to add a sirup too highly fla. vored, for the fruit flavor itself should he first.
 A pineapple and raspberry combfna- ton is very good. Gut the pineapple with small potato cutter and let tho fruits stand in sirup uncombined for three hours. then chill them together one hour.
 Equal parts of sliced peachss &nd stoned cherries -martnated In sugar sirup and garnished with frosted mint. Dip sprig of mint in egg white ethen in sugar, having the mint well chilled.
 Twice as much diced peach as very ripe blackberries, treated with the sfrup and favored with a little lemon and orange juice. -...
 Vegetable cocktails may be made Of various combinations, but those most suitah!a are:
 Two tablespoonfuls of minced toma- to, one of minced celery, one table spoonful of aspic jelly cut in bits. half teaspoonful of chives, ehree drops Of tobasco sauce, French >ressing and mayonnaise to moisten.

PENN LOSES STAR

Joe HeinzeIman, Eligible for
Football Here This Year,
Re-enters Lehigh
BLOW TO QUAKER ELEVEN

Penn may have n wonderful back field
this fall, but there is one young man
who will not be wearing n Red and
Blue jersey. That young man is Joe
Heinzelman, football player extraordi
nary, who, it was reported, would play
for Penn.
1t was stated this morning, in n
dispatch from Bethlehem, that Helmet
man suddenly had decided that he would
not re-entcr Penn, but instead return
to his first lovc-Lchigh. Last fall
Heinzelman attended Lehigh ms an s. A.
T. G. student for several weeks.
Around the middle of January Helm =
zelman, quite "unannOunced and unher-
aided, appeared on the Penn campus
and stated that he was a Penn student.
Play football? Surt he intended to try
for the Penn team. BY then new rul-
ing made to fit to war conditions Helm =
zelman would be eligible for varsity ball.
All was serene in the Penn camp.
Yesterday Heinzclmnn enrolled as a
student at L6high and will report on
the opening day of football practice.
Another we'll known athlete to enter
Lchigh yesterday was Harry Rote, OF
Harrisburg. Last fall Rote played
quarterback on Howard Berry's Camp

UPRISING OF MACKS
Chick Sticks Digits in Way
of Burrus's Drive and
Stops Another Ninth In
ming Rally by athletics
BOB 'HASTY
BY EDWIN j. l.

IF THERE had been a little more lift
to the wallop off the bat of young
MIR. Burrus yesterday there might have
been another story to tell of our AS
rising in the late minutes of the pas
timing and shifting the enemy at the
Shibe recreation center.
Mr.. Burrus was inserted into the
proceedings after Amos Strunk, who was
Dugan's proxy, had singled and Lawton
Witt, who pinched for Dykes, had
sacrificed. Dick caught one of Ehmke's
pitches just where he could put the
might of his shoulders behind it. He
gave it a ride to right field and it
looked as if it was going to bore through
the fence, but it got no farther than
Chick Shorten's glove.
Mr.. Shorten plays a very fleet and
swift game in right for Detroit, and he
ran backward faster than most folks
can run forward. He got his digits on
the sphere as it was speeding over his
head and the Mack menace was stopped.
1t was only n matter Of about six
inches that prevented q repetition of
the rally that thrilled the fortunate few
on Wednesday. If the drive had been
six inches. higher the fence would have
been in for a lot of punishment and the
old ball game would probably have gone
to the rockies. e..
