TROOP OF BLIND BOY SCOUTS

Troop 70 Of Hartford. Conn.,, has
Its headquarters in the Connecticut

should see them building their human
pyramids, and doing other athletic
feats difficult for boys with full eye

G. s. Ripley, scout executive at
Hartford. who visits this troop and
sees them at camp, says that each boy
makes his 100 per cent of noise. They
move about as confidently as any

aged by frequent bumps into strangers

CHAPTER XII.
A Dangerous Prisoner.

He was tall and thin, wearing a
wide cloak about his shoulders, and
high hat with broad brim. Even at
that distance 1t could be seen that his
long hair was gray, and that heavy
mustache, snow-white. made more no.
ticeable the thin features OF his face.
He looked at the two men closely,
and his voice easily reached the ears
of the listeners.
"Who posted you here?"

one.

Of fear in the determination to act;

the wall. stumbled over some slight
projection and swore; another step,
and his cropping hand would touch
her. He never took the step, but was

the cold barrel OF revolver pressed
against his cheek. A stern. sibilant
whisper held him motiouless.
