an accident, think, for never knew anything more until I woke up here."
 "DO you recall the name of the man you were cOnversing with on the observation car?"
 He pressed his hand against his fore head, a wrinkle appearing straight be- tween his eyes.
 i've tried to remember that" he admitted respectfully, but 1t doesn't quite come to me-"
 "Was 1t Beaton2"
 "Yes. Why, how strange! Of course, he was Edward Beaton of New York. He told me he was a broker. Why, how did you know"
 'It Is not so strange" she said at last, flor your disappearance is indi- rectly the occasion of my being here also. I believe I can even call you by name. You are Mir. Cayendlshr'
 "Yes," he admitted, his hands grip ping the back of the bench nervously, his eyes filled with amazement. "But but do not know you"
 "For the best of reasons" she an- swered smilingly, advancing and ex- tending her hand-"because we have never met before. I am Stella Dono- van, a newspaper woman. Your strange disappearance about a month ago aroused considerable interest, and I chanced to be detailed on the case. My investigations led me to visit Has, kell, where unfortunately my mission became known to those who were re- sponsible for your Imprisonment here. So, to keep me quiet, I was also ab- ducted and brought to this place."
 "You-you mean 1t was not an acci- dent-that I was brought here pur- posely?"
 Exactly; you were tralled from New York by gang of thieves having confederates in this country. I am un- able to give you all the details; but this man BeatOn, whom you met on the train, Is q notorious gunman and gambler. His being on the same train with you was a part of a well-laid plan, and I have no doubt but what he deliberately slugged you while you two were alone on the observation platform"
 "But-but," he stammered, "what was his object? Why did those people scheme to get mel" .
 AS I told you, MT. Cavendlsh, do not know all the details, but I think these men-one of whom Is q lawyer planned to gain possession of your for tune, possibly by means of a forged will; and, in order to accomplish this, 1t was necessary to get you out of the way. If either of us can escape from this place we shall be in time to fol them completely"
 He sank down on the bench and buried his face in his hands, thorough ly unnerved. The girl looked at him a moment In silence, then touched his shoulder.
 Look here, Mir. CavendIsh," she said firmly, there is no use losing your nerve. Surely there must be some way of getting out of here. For one, am going to try"

 Frantic, she gave the key final deS- perate twist. and as a sigh of relief escaped her lips the door swung open. Shipping through the aperture, she , closed it softly after her and, painting | from excitement and her eXertlOnS, turned and faced the recesSes of her hidIng-plaCe.
 It was black. pItch-6laCk, except for a long ray of light that struggled in be- tween the heavy door and it's casing, but as Stella Donovan stood there in The gloom she was aware that she was not thc only occupant of the cell. She crouched back, gripped in the hands of i another fear. but the next moment her | nlarm was lpSScned somewhat by the sound of a soft, well-moduIated voice.
 "Who's that?" it said fainu5.
 Then followed the repeated scratch 1 ing of a wet match, a flame of yellow ILht. which was immediately carried to q short tallOw candle, and in the aura of its sickly flame Stella DOnO- van saw the face of a man with long, unkempt beard and feverlsh eyes that stared at her as though she were an apparitOn.
 !. As her eyes became more acCus- toned to the light she saw that the stranger was a man of approximately thirty, of good robust health. His hair was sandy of color and thin, and his | beard. which was of the same hue, had evidently gone untrimmed for days, perhaps weeks; yet for all of his un- 1 kempt appearance, for all the strange ness of his presence there, he was a | gentleman, that was plain. And as she Scrutnized him Miss Donovan thought she beheld mild similarity in the contour of the mans head, the shane of his face. the lines of his body, to the man who several weeks be- fore. she had seen lying dead upon the floor of his rooms in the Waldron apartments.
 My God" he cried in high voice. Fl thought I was seeing things. You are really wOman-and aliye?'
 Miss Donovan hesitated a moment before she answered, wondering whether to tell him of her narrow es- cape. This she decided to do.
 Alive, but only by luck" she said in a friendly voice, and then reCOuntcd the insults of Cateras, her struggle with him, and capture of his cartridge belt and revolver, and how finally she 1 had left him bound and gagged in the adjoining cell. The man listened at tentiyely, though his mind seemed slow to grasp q tails.

The passage way was dark, except for the little bars of light streaming out through the sllts in the stone above the cell doors. These. however, were sufficient to convince Cavendish that no guards were in the immediate neighborhood. He felt the grip of the girls fingers on his coat, and reached back to clasp her hand.

Southwestern Interstate Coal Opera
tors association, testified before the
Industrial court yesterday that district
officials of the union displayed dis

than other companies. 1.-The men are
so loyal to the union that they submit
to being brought out on strikes
whether they are fully advised OF the
cause of it or not" Johnson said.
The name OF the Central Coal and
Coke company was not mentioned in
the court proceedings. The records
show that the Central has been espe-
cially hard hit by strikes. Its mines
were tied up for many months before
the general strike last November.
