Dick picks out Il means Of escape by
yunneling his way through one of the
windows in the cabin. He digs hori-
zontally and up to the surface but is
3tumped by the presence of the guard
who is ordered to shoot to kill at the
irst attempt of Dick or Bella to es-
cape.
BY clever rusc, he lures the

o break through as the guard stands
on the ground above him and after a
hard fight in the tunnel, subducs
himj. A second guard, sent to relieve
the first, is also captured and both

BY a ruse they lure Dick into the
room of the house to get the forged
deed and there in the darkness set
upon him and beat him into uncon-
seriousness, and tie him to the floor.
They then secure hloodhounds and
start back over Dicks trail to the
ranchhouse where Bella has been
placed. The dogs lead them straight
to the house and although the ranch
cr's wife makes brave stand to pre-
evnt the gang from entering the
house the force the door, sugduc
her and capture Bella.
Dick in the meantime by use of his
great strength has burst the rope
across his chest, He works his hands
and arms free and is ust loosing the
last bonds when the gang returns to
the house with Bella. They tic her
and place her on the floor beside
Dick, who has resumed his bonds and
pretends to still be tied. When the
Williams have left him, Dick releases
Bella and they secure the handiest
means of escape, a lumber laden
wagon and drive out of the camp.
They are discovered and Bullhead
and his gang follow on horseback A
race, exciting and dangerous, ensues
and Bullhead manages to shoot the
reins from Dicks hands just as the
tearing horses and wagon are on a
dangerous road along ravine The
team runs away and unguided heads
toward the edge of the precipice.
Dick sees the danger that faces and
fearing more for Bella than for him
self, he daringly makes his way out
on the wagon tongue between the
runaway horses and tries to stop
them. Just as he manages to turn
the team, the wagon strikes a No'''A-
er and is swung outward over the
end of the prccipice. With one end
of it hanging over the precipice, the
lumber bearing Bella starts to slidge
off and down into the valley below.
AS che lumber and Bella disappear
from view, Dick is dragged away by
the team.

Dear Father:
81 am safe, and will be if you
follow instructions in the enclos-
ed letter. DO not notify the
police.
Alinc"
Blake takes the note and leaves,
locking the door. In another room of
the house, Neil is dressed as a boy,
with a bicycle suit on. Blake gives

experience. Ralph rushes out with
thh chauffeur, and rides to the place.
Ralph arrives at the fake doctors
house, searches it, and then goes back
to the Morton house dsheartened.
Meanwhile, Nell has ridden up on
her bicycle near the Morton house
and has delivered the note to the
maid. She jumps on her wheel and
is about to go, just as Ralph comes
up. He tells the chauffeur to tell
Morton, and follows Nell in the car.
A chase follows. In his pursuit of
Nell, Ralph jumps from his car to the
top Of a bridge and then from the
bridge to the top of car passing on
the road about % feet below.
Still following Nell, Ralph arrives

at the top of the house, Aline is i'm
prisoned. Nell enters to tell of the
delivery of the message. Alinc writes

him and drops the note to him. Ralph
meets the man, who shows him the
note. Ralph sees Aline at the win
dow and then sees Blake grab her.
Ralph climbs a telegraph pole,
loosens the wire, and makes a thrill
ing swing from the telegraph pole
through the air, going through the
house in which he saw Aline.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Strikes of
railway employees such as that in the
Altoona, Pa, yards of the Pennsy1-
vania railroad We're declared to-day
by Director General Hines as Great
ing the basis for the argument that
it is nonsense to deal with labor or
ganizations because they will not
obey their own rulers and there
fore make the orderly handling of
business impossible"
The statement by the director
general was made in a letter to B.
NJ. Jewell, acting president of the
railway employees of the American
Federation of Labor in regard to the
Altoona strike. Mr.. Hines reiterated
that the railroad Administrations
policy was that no grievance of rail-
road employees could be considered
while the workers involved remained
on strike.
Emphasizing the seriousness of
every stoppage of work at the pres
ent time when "the railroad ad-
ministration is straining every nerve
to serve the people of this country
and the people of Europe" Mr.. Hines
requested that his warning message
be transmitted to the strikers whose
unauthorized strike, he declared, was
injuring the cause of organized la
Dor as well as the general public.

President May Never
Resume Duties, Moses
Asserts in Statement

Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-In an
article in the Philadelphia Press,
this morning, Charles r. Michael,
Washington correspondent, says:
President Wilson, as the result OF
his attack, may never resume his
complete official duties.
This is the reported verdict of his
physicians who have insisted that he
must remain in bed for an extended
period. The progress OF the dis
ease may be such that MIR. Wilson
can attend to his duties So far as
the signing of bills is concerned, al
though the opinion of Dem ocratic
Senators and advisers is that the
President will never regain his full
vigor and strength.
THE letter Senator Moses, of New
Hampshire, wrote to friend, saying
the President had suffered some
kind of a cerebral lesion and that
he may live, but if he does he Will
not be a material force or factor in
anything asserts publicly what has
been circulated for several days in
the cloakrooms of both Houses.
According to those in a position
to know the facts, the President lost
the control of the muscles on the
left side of his mouth, but has now
recovered.
"Dr. Cary T. Grayson declined to
discuss any reports about the Prcsi-
dents condition, and would not deny
or affirm that Senator Moses had
accurately given the facts.
Blood CIot Reported
"One prominent Democrat Senator,
who enjoys the confidence of Cabin
ct advisers, is telling his friends the
President has suffered lesion of
the brain, while others say there is
blood clot which is slowly being
absorbed.
Whether or not these reports,
coming from inner circles, are en-
tirely correct in their diagnosis of
/ the Presidents complaint, one thing
can be asserted as a fact, and that
is the Cabinet has already considered
1t necessary that means be found to
replace the President Temporarily
unless his condition shall permit him

Strikers Stone Workers
as Youngstown Mills
Attempt to Resume

Youngstown, O., Oct IS. - With
the attempt of three companies to
resume operations at a number of
open hearth furnaces here this
morning, feeling was more tense
than at any time during the last
three weeks.
1t was generally believed the eff
fort to break the strike was the first
real test between the two sides.
Officials of the Brier Hill Steel
Company were ready to start two
open hearth furnaces, the Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Company three,
and the Republican Iron and Steel
Company one or more.
The Carnegie Steel Company an
nounced that it would make no at
tempt to operate on a larger scale
than during the past week.
Considerable turbulance was re-
ported throughout the valley this
morning as the mills resumed oper-
atoms in greater volume. Crowds of
strikers about each plant stoned the
strikebreakers and many arrests
were made.
At East Youngstown an engine
struck a handcar filed with men on
their way to work, killing one and
seriously ipjuring two others.
A crowd of strike pickets stoned
the automobile occupied by Sheriff
Ben Norris and a number of depu-
ties late Sunday night in Poland
avenue, mistaking the sheriffs auto
mobile for a car conveying strike
breakers into the Hazelton plant Of
the Republic Iron and Steel Com
pany. A call was issued by the sher-
iff this morning for 100 men to go
to East Youngstown, where pickets
were surging about the Youngstown
Sheet and Tube Company gates
threatening men returning to work
Sporadic operations were reported
at all the mills this morning. Strike
/ leaders, however, said that the move
ment had failed, as the strikers had
stood firm and only a few had re-
| ported for work.
