One has only to observe the river
on hot days to note the extent of
the popularity OF the canoe. When
there is a combination of hot
weather and holidays such as anne
last week the result will surprise
anyone who has not noted the river
craft. The canoe has supplanted
the old fiat bottomed boat from
which many fathers of Harrisburg
families swan and fished in years
gone by and fifty canoes can be
counted almost n Saturday after
noon and evening.

A Trip by Night and a late Arrlva

A Trip by Night and a Late Arrival.
Shortly after shutdown that eve
ming, the RushcrOft company evacu-
ated Harris Tavern. They were de-
layed by the Irritating and, to Mr..
Rushcroft, objectionable behavior of
two officlous 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 a 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 a stage
struck young woman who had OBJ
tanned a 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 Gray's
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
my's venerable but surprisingly ener-
getic car were the cause OF many a
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.
Yes. Isn't 1t jolly. running away

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 (he al
ways put Ii parenthetically) they lived
to tell the talel 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 unattractisa portals of the
Grand Palace hOtS. An arc lamp
swinging above the ef trance 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. dlsdaining
the offer of assistance from the sud-
denly infatuated Tommy Gray.

Barnes went down to the dingy
lobby. A single, half-hearted electric
bulb shed its feeble light on the desk,
in front of which stood man regis
tering under the sleepy eye of the
night clerk.
Barnes was turning away when a
familiar voice assailed him.
Whirllng, he looked into the face of
man who stood almost at his elbow
the sharp, impassive face OF Mr..
Sprouse.

Sprouse turned the knob and opened
the door half inch or so. He sst the
room so abruptly that Barnes never
quite got over the weird impression
that he squeezed Though that slender
crack, and pulled 1t after him!

turned on the light. The key of the

He was in graver quandary than
ever. Now that he had the treasure In
his possession, what was he to do with

He solved the breakfast problem by
calling downstairs for waiter and
ordering coffee and rolls and eggs sent
up to his room. Slngularly enough the
waiter solved the other and more dis

'Look up, young man." and the
startled young man obeyed. His gaze
halted at a window on the second
