THREE.

Even In his widest dreams Hugh
had never imagined such a wonderful
opportunity. To be in complete pos
session Of the house, with strong
forces at his beck and call, was a state
OF affairs which rendered him almost
speeches..
Keep your guns handy" whispered
Hugh. "Wel draw each room In
turn till we find the girl"
But they were not to be put to so
much trouble. Suddenly a door Oppo-
site opened, and the man who had
been guarding Phyllis Benton peered
out suspiciously. His jaw fell and q
look Of aghast surprise spread over
his face as he saw the four men In
front Of him.
Hugh stepped past him and was
smiling at the girl who, with a little
cry of joyful wonder, had risen from
her chair.
"Your face. boy" she whispered. as
he took her in his arms, regardless OF
the others, "your poor old face! Oh,
that brute, Lexington!
He laughed gently, and for a mo-
ment she chung to him, unmindful OF
how he had got to her, glorying only
In the fact that he had. 1t seemed to
her that there was nothing which this
wonderful man of hers couldn't man
age; and how, blindly trusting, she
waited TO be told what to do. The
nightmare was over; Hugh was with
her.
Are there any cars outside?" Hugh
turned to the American.
"Yours," answered that worthy.
"And mine is hidden behind Miss
Benton's greenhouse unless they've
moved It," remarked Algy.
Good" said Hugh. "Algy, take
Miss Benton and her father up to Half
Moon street-at nee. Then come back
here"
But, Hugh" began the girl ap-
pealingly.
AT once, dear, please" He smiled
at her tenderly. but his tone was de-
cided. "This is going to be no place

mond had spread abroad amongst the
satellites Of Peterson.
At last he seemed to make up his
mind, and came out into the open.
Step by step he advanced toward the
motionless figure, his weapon held in
readiness to shoot at the faintest
movement. But the soldier lay
sprawling and inert, and by the time
the chauffeur had reached him there
was no doubt In that worthy's mind
that, at last, this wretched meddler
with things that concerned him not
had been laid by the heels. Which
was as unfortunate for the chauffeur
as it had been for unwary Huns In
the past.
Contemptuously he rolled Drum
mond over; then, noting the relaxed
muscles and inert limbs, he laid his
gun on the ground preparatory to run
ming through his victims pockets. And
the fact that such an action was a
little more foolish than offering a man.
eating tiger a peppermint lozenge did
not trouble the chauffeur. In fact,
nothing troubled him again.
He got out one gasping cry Of ter
rOr as he realized his mistake; then
he had a blurred consciousness Of the
world upside down, and everything
was over 1t was Olaki's most danger
Gus throw, carried out by gripping the
victims wrists and hurting his body
over by a heave Of the legs. And nine
times out Of ten the result was a
broken neck. This was one Of the
nine.
For a while the soldier stared at the
body, frowning thOughtfully. To have
killed the chauffeur was in%convenient,
but since 1t had happened it neces-
Stated q little Encouragement Of his
plans. The moo was setting and the
night would become darker, so there
was a good chance that darlington
would not recognize that the driver
OF his q had changed. And IL he
dld-well, it would be necessary to
fOregO the somewhat theatrical enter
tajnment he had staged for his benefit
at The Films. Bending over the dead
man, he removed his long grey driv-
ing-coat and cap; then, without a
sound, he threaded his way through
the bushes In search Of the car.
He found 1t about a hundred yards
nearer the house, so well hidden In
a small space of the road that he
a almost on top Of 1t before he real
lied the fact. To his relief 1t was
empty, and placing his own cap in a
pocket under the seat he put on the
driving-coat Of his predecessor. Then.
with a quick glance round to ensure
that everything was in readiness for
the immediate and rapid departure
such as he imagined Lexington would
desire, he turned and crept stealthily
toward the house.

we've got to set the scene for to-
morrow morning" He glanced at his
watch. Just eleven. How long will
it take me to get the old buzz-box TO
Laidley Towers?"
"Laidley Towers" echoed Darrell.
"What the devil are you going there
for?"
II just can't bear to be parted from
Henry for one moment longer than
necessary" said Hugh quietly. And
Henry is there, in a praiseworthy en-
deavOr to lift the duchess pearls. d.

laughed softly.
But 1t was only for a moment that

things to be done-many others, II

they should.
Take those two into the center

a dead Boche on the floor, but he'll
come in very handy in my little
scheme"
"A dead Boche !" The inundated
rabbit gave a frightened squeak.
Good heavens! you ruffian, this is
beyond a joke"
Hugh looked at him coldly.
you'll find 1t beyond a joke, you
miserable little rat" he said quietly,
IF you speak to me like that" He
laughed as the other shrank past him.
Three Of you boys In there" he or
dered briskly, "and IL either of them
gives the slightest trouble clip him
over the head. Now let's have the
rest Of the crowd in here, Peter"
They came filing in, and Hugh
waved a CHEEKY hand in greeting.
"How goes 1t, you fellows" he cried
With his infectious grin. "Like a COM

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
BY j. T.. Jones.

By j. f. Jones.
If the powers running this govern
ment have the correct information on
conditions then it may be accepted
that the country is on the v OF a
fresh period of an industrial expan-
sion. The big fellows and the little
fellows in Washington are talking in
optimistic tones, and the president re.
marks in a review of the achieve
ments of his administrations: Sur,
veying the national situation as a
whole, it is plain that we are work
ing our way out of a welter OF waste
and %prodigious spending at a most i'm
pressive rate" He joins with us com
mon mortals in the JOY of post-mort
ems, in explaining why American bus
mess has touched the zero hour. APP
proximately SO, 500, 900, 900 have been
poured out under the direction of the
shipping board, and the railroad ad-
ministratiOn has cost the government
between 81, $50, 600, 900 and 81, 500, 000,-
600. Commenting on this latter fact,
the president adds significantly: THE
end is not yet" We are reminded by
the president that the service of the
national debt demands a billion and
a quarter of dollars annually; that
nearly a half billion dollars was ap
propriated for war risk insurance, vo
,,t;,~nJ troipin0 anI tho m ainfQnancp
of hospitals, in short the care of those
suffering the disabilities arising from
the war; that approximately a quarter
Of billion dollars more was appro-
priated for pensions on account OF
earlier wars. The president reminds
us that half the present total expendi-
lures Of the government arises from
wars Of the past He does not say
that considerable more than one-half
Of the balance of the expenses Of the
government are being voted by con
gress in anticipation of wars for the
future, preparedness" they used to
call it. But he does refer to this as
similar burdens that are imposed up
on the taxpayers" and he recognizes
the existence of "a well-nigh universal
protest against a possible repetition OF
gigantic conflict" We are told by him
that the world joins in 1.-The common
hope that the conference in Novem.
Der may tighten the burden of both
armament and taxation, not only for
this but for other lands"
In short, it is the view of the adj
ministration that the government has
met and mastered one after another
of the difficult situations imposed by
the war. Legislative laws are being
explained by high officials who never
grow weary in relating how they have
fastened the progress of the funda
mental economic laws, which are the
essential factors in getting the coun
try back to norma1cy.
According to vicePresident Calvin
Coolidge mo power On earth can i'm
mediately restore pre-war conditions
The only way to come back to then

The man hesitated for a moment,

May DAY SCARE
WAS BUT DREAM
Reds Celebrate With Parade and
Talk Fest; Only Harm They.
Can Do to Present System.

The May day celebration of the To-
cal Reds and I. w. w. passed off
just as quietly as any other Sunday in
Duluth. All fear c: trouble was
groundless. That bunch of 2,142
marchers by actual count, never could
do more harm to the present system
and government that talk.
They have done infinitely more
harm to the bonafide American labor
movement by preventing it's solidarity,
something the anti-unionists encour-
age them to do. However, it was a
surprisingly large parade. The Firms
led among the matte nalities repre-
sented. There were a number of I.
w. w. banners in evidence.
The parade was led by two we'll
known members Of organized labor,
Joel Lichten Of the Painters union
and Axel Johnson of the Electrical
Hosting Engineers. A union band
headed the marchers. There were al
so a number of women workers in
line.
1.-The historic mission Of the I. w.
w. IS to make the world safe for in
dustrial democracy" read one of the
banners. Others of the more striking
legends included the following:
THE kaiser is in a castle in Holland
while Debs is in prison in Atlanta"
'Trade relations with Russia mean
work for ALL"
1--WE want the abolition of the wage
system"
workers, organize with the I.
w. W.
1.-THE workers are entitled to all
they produce"
1t was noticeable that practically all
of the marchers were foreign-born
men and women. Many of them, it is
believed, came here from neighboring
towns
Each marcher wore a red card, too,
on which was inscribed, IAN injury
to one-an injury to all. Workers
Unite" The red flag was absent,
however, and in its place an American
flag was carried at the head of the
column.
