orderly at the mine, all men except the

Not seeing the superintendent, Ena
concluded that she would like to ac-

girls soon found themselves strolling
along the lonesome trail.
"Madge, how did you ever come to

the reply.
"You lonesome! Why, Madge,

Washington, Feb. 13.+The public

the adjustment of the United States

the secretary of the treasury to dis

Speaking of this proposition, Repre-
sentative c. F. Reavis of the house
committee investigating expenditures
lin the war department had the fol
lowing comment to make:
During the war it was thought
necessary to organize q housing cor
poration for the purpose Of furnish

|withstanding we had a supervising
architect of the treasury and dozens

Notwithstanding their temporary
character and flimsy construction the
cost of these buildings ran up to ST.

men for this expert service, and
great many thousands of dollars
would have been saved in that one
item alone.
Il want to reiterate that the great
difficulty under present conditions is
that we have men working for bu-
reaus and departments and no one
working for the government. There
is intense rivalry between the bu-
reaus and departments and conse-
quently competition between them
both for labor and material which op-
crates greatly to the nations disad-
vantage.

the two roa rs cusseG their luck as
they told aow they had celebrated
their successful haul by taking little
too much whisky which resulted in
their failing to hobble their horses
and without horses they were up
against it in the mountains.
That evening Allen and Scott rode
into Tampa with their prisoners and
turned them over to the officer. 1t was
then that they first heard about the
kidnapping of the two girls. Jim
Elliot was there, and being close
friend of Scott league, Allen was per-
mitted to read the kidnaper's letter.
For a minute or two the news
seemed to stun him. Then he jeFked
himself together and opened up with
a rapid fire of questions. While he
did so it was patent that he made
mental note of every WORD in reply to
his queries.
In speaking about what had been
done, Jim Elliot said he had just Ee-

Madge Morris looked at the speaker
as though she were dumfounded. Not
a question did she ask, not a word did
she utter-but those big, bright blue
eyes seemed to grow larger, bluer and
brighter as she looked at her rescuer.
Silently she sat staring at him as if in
a dream. "You! YOu!" we're her only
words as a cloud seemed to sweep over
her face.
"And, why not?" asked Allen.
NTadge looked at Ena and Ena looked
at Madge.
Here's your man," said Scott as he
deposited Don Pedro on the ground
like sack of grain. "You must have
given him pretty rough treatment for
he's just coming to-"
"Where do you suppose Mexican

them. And il sL4t because am tired
of outdoor lie, for Pm not. I really
don't know what it is unless I am
homesick."
"Why, Madge, dear, if you feel that
way we had better go home as soon
as possible"
ooh, no! I have no intention Of re-
turning to New York this summer"
was the quick reply.
Madge had scarcely finished speak
ing when she felt herself forcibly
seized by pair of strong arms. Be
fore she realized what had happened
she was carefully bound and gagged.
She attempted to cry aloud but could
not and the slightest movement of her
hands and feet found heavy cords cut
ting into her delicate flesh.
"Good work, Don, old boy; hurry
with your giEl to the horses. I'll take
care of this one," said Mexican Mike
as he picked Madge up and carried
her down the old trail into the little
ravine.
1t was several hours later that Jim
Elliot went into his private Office and
found letter marked:
Jim ELLIOT, PERSONAL"
A strange feeling crept over him as
he picked up the letter, opened it, and
read:
Jim Elliot:
This is to notify you that we
have kidnapped the old mans girl
and her chum and are holding
them for $4,000 ransom. The only
way they can be liberated is by
carrying out these Instructions:
Take $4,000 in gold to the old dead
pine tree at the head Of Rock
creek promptly at midnight on
Friday of this week, leave it there.
Come back at two o'clock and the
girls will be there alone unharmed.
You must be absolutely alone, so
warn your friends not to inter-
fere by attempting to follow. We
warn you, don't try the double
cross
The letter was unsigned and as Jim
Elliot finished reading his whole frame
shook with anger. 81 know you damn

head between d s. ufted II free

snapped it on the hard earth. In an
instant the form lay limp at his feet.
1t was none too soon, for knife blade
had penetrated his arm.
With a handkerchief Allen gagged
the victim and pieces from his badly
torn shirt served to tie the hands and
feet.
Again dropping cautiously on hands
and knees, Allen crept slowly forward.
Thus approaching, he went bravely
through another passage until brought
to a halt by hole in the rock. Could
it be there was another passage and he
had taken the wrong one? This he
was inclined to believe until he found
an opening to the right. No sooner
had he entered the new passage than
he heard something move. Instantly
he visualized Mexican Mike lying in
wait, for well he knew that it was Don
Pedro's bewhiskered throat in which
he had already dug his fingers. Draw
ing a revolver and an electric flash
light Allen prepared himself for the
duel he felt sure would follow. With
steady hand he pressed the little but
ton and instantly flooded the cavern
with light.
A shrill scream rent the musty air.
Aliens heart gave sudden leap as he
saw h11ddIed in a corner two girliSh
figures. With blazing eyes they sent
look of defiance into the electric rays.
Realizing the situation, Allen spoke,
"Have no fear. am friend who has
come to liberate you."
Without a word the two figures fell
limp upon the roughly made bed Of
pine boughs.
Aliens heart almost ceased throb-
bing when he felt the hot blood rush
to his face as he gathered the sylph-
like forms in his arms and started to
retrace his steps. BY aid of the cleo
trio flasher he was able to make head
way through the passage, but not with
out difficulty. He felt his great
strength slipping from him as he grew
weaker and weaker. But the one
thought that he was rescuing the cap
tives helped him to bear up until he
reached the entrance of the deserted
mine. AS he staggered with his pre-
cious burden out Of the dark, damp
hole he stumbled and fell.

ragged passageway. Rising on his
hands and knees, he began an investi-
cation which resulted in the discovery
of an extremely irregular excavation
leading to the left. Following this,
Allen found himself in an apartment
a large excavation. Around it he
carefully felt his way. Suddenly he
stopped--large beads of cold perspira-
tion stood upon his heated brow
there was something alive not far
from him-he sensed it. With every
nerve tense he listened. Soon he de-
tected slow breathing. Whether it
was a human being or an animal he
did not know. Cautiously he crept
toward the animated object, until con-
vinced he was within striking dis
tance. Slowly he got firmly set with
both knees slightly off the ground, his
right foot braced against a rock, his
whole form rigid. For a moment he
hesitated. Then, like a flash, his body
on something soft and alive. A deep
groan choked to faint gasp and Allen
found his fingers tightly fastened
around a short, thick neck. Feeling
the form of man wriggling and fight
ing desperately beneath his own body,
Allen clenched that neck with all the
strength at his command. Two power
full legs closed around his body like
steel jaws. So tightly was he held
that his breath came hard. And it
seemed every bone in his body would
break. Twisting and turning. do what
he would there was no getting out Of
that vice-lilze grip that was squeezing
1 his ger nails into the
