Two other men came in as he
turned away, and Lakington looked
at them.

old woman?"
Bound and gagged in the kitchen, "
answered one Of them laconlcally.
"Are you going to do this crowd in7'
The speaker looked at the uncon-
sclous men with hatred In his eyes.
'tThey cucumber the earth-this

"They will not cucumber 1t for
long" said Lakington softly. "But

going to die so easily. I have a small
unsettled score with him. :. y
Cali right; he's In the car" A
voice came from outside 1.-THE window,
and with a: last look at Hugh Drum
mond, Laklngton turned away.
"Then we'll co." he remarked. H.A1i

Through the still night air there
came the thrumming Of the engine of
a powerful car. Gradually it died
away and there was silence. And
then, with a sudden crack, Peter Oar.
rell's head rolled over and hit the arm
of his chair.

his hat. He had got more out Of the
interview than he had hoped for, and
There was nothing to "be gained by
iprolonging it. But 1t struck him that

the otker's suspicious, and with a
snarl of fury he sprang past Hugh to
the door-
Who are you?"e"He spat the words
out venomously, at the same time
whipping an ugly-looking knife cut Of
his pocket.
Hugh replaced his hat and stick
on the table and grinned gently.

watching the ether 1warily. "And If

As he spoke he was: edglng, little by
little, toward the other man, who
crouched snarllng BY the door. His
eyes, grim and determined, never left
the others face; his hands, apparently
hanging listless. by his Sides were
tingling with the Joy of what he knew
was coming. =,
"And the penalty Of failure is death,
isn't It,. dear one?" He spoke almost
dreamily;> not for an instant did
his attention relax. Almost imper-
ceptlbly, he crept toward the other
man, talking gently.
"'Such Is your rule. And I think
you have failed, haven't you, you un-
pleasant specimen Of humanity? How
will they kill you, wonder"
It was at that moment that the man
made his mistake. He looked away
only for a moment-but he looked
away. Just as a cats nerves give
after while and 1t looks round for
an avenue of escape, so did the crouch
ing man take mis- eyes from Hugh.
And quick as any dog, Hugh sprang.
With his left hand he seized the
mans right wrist, with his right he
seized his throat. Then he forced
him upright against the dp por and held
him there. Even when inch by inch

hand he never took his eyes from his

been sounded by the mayor that un-
less the practice is speedily termin-

arrests in all cases, regardless Of the
ownership of the car, where the speed
line is exceeded. It is believed that
this warning may serve for a time to
check the evil in Gaffney, although 1t
is generally recognized that drastic
fines will have to be imposed in some
cases before the law is as fully OBJ
served here as possible.

American Coal Received.

The first two shipments of American
coal are expected to arrive in Ireland
this week. This is a part of the new
economic policy of the Sein Fein, which
is boycotting English goods as fast as
an alternative supply is obtained. An
other article recently boycotted is shoe
blacking, which is now being obtained
from Prague, where it is made. in fac
tories owned by Americans. A large
contract has also been signed for
French soap at half the price charged
by the English soap trust. and ar
rangements are being made for its
transportation to Ireland by the ship
load, cutting off the freight charges
from Liverpool which are more than
double the ocean rates from America

of a sudden, had become numb, the

Of hitting the floor some yards from

AUTONOMY FOR IRELAND.
England Offers Important Concessions
to Islanders.

England Offers Important Concessions
to Islanders.
A most impol tant peace proposal,
writes a Dublin correspondent of the
Washington Herald, was placed in the
hands Of the Sim Fein leaders a few
days ago in which the British govern
ment made its maximum offer for a
settlement. AS conditions to the offer,
the North and South must accept it as
final settlement and they must work
together as a united Ireland. The main
points in the proposal follow:
Full fiscal autonomy, including con-
troll Of customs, excises and income
taxes will be granted.
The Irish government will have full
control of its judiciary.
1t will have full control of its police
1t will have all the rights possessed.
by any other self governing member of
the British empire.
The annual tribute Of g1S,OO0,000,
sterling (nornally about 100000, ,0oO)
will be abandoned.
American System Model.
Arrangements for defense by. the
army and: nakssare left open for dis
cussion. 1t Will probably be on a basis
of having English troops, garrison
Ireland as protection against foreign
INVASION, butTthey will not be allowed
to operate oryBuppress domestic disor-
der in Ireland except at the request Of
the Irish government. The model for
this place. is thc, relationship Of United
States troops to the American states.
have fhe Highest authority for say
ing that this plan has the approval Of
Prime Minister Lloyd George, who is
willing to grant all points but only to
united Ireland and only on condition
that the offer is accepted as final and
not as an installment to a, larger de-
mand in the future. I have also the
highest authority for saying the Sim
Fein leaders are fayorably disposed to
the plan, but their difficulty is that
they haye led their followers to expect
full independence.
One suggestion under consideration
is for the publication Of the scheme in
the Irish and English press, with the
Endorsement of the leaders Of all the
Irish factions, as a test of public opin-
ion, but it Is not likely that serious ac-
tion will be taken to secure Irish unity,
which is the first essential Of the plan,
until after the election by which Ulster
will firmly establish her position, en-
abling her to. bargain as an equal Of
the South. Another hitch is the fact
there are so many republican leaders

Police Prevent
Zero's Attempt
ToHelp Jobless

NEW YORK, n. Y, Sept. 2O.-
Further police interference today
met the efforts of Crbain Led oux,
known as AMr. Zero" in his attempt
to relieve the unemployed of New
York.
Ledoux, who a short time ago
held auctions of the unemployed in
Boston. this morning went TO Bryant
Park and started to distribute to the
idle men gathered there tickets
calling for a meal at a restaurant
in ThirtyFourth street. but before
he had passed out more than fifty
of the tickets the police arrived and
prevented further distribution.
At Blake's restaurant on Thirty
fourth street near Eighth avenue,
however, he fed about $50 hungry
men, but here again the police ar
rived. LedouX, however, kept the
men lined up in an orderly fashion
and thus did not give the police a
chance to interfere.
LedouN then returned to the home
OF W. X. Brice, at 11S West Fifty
fourth street. where he has been
staying since his arrival in the city,
and announced to reporters that he
had received a telegram from the
American Civil Liberties Union,
supporting him in his work and con-
demning the police for their inter-
ference yesterday.

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-Automo-

put two New York automobile in
surance companies into the hands
of a receiver today. The crash is
the forerunner of a nationwide IN

which may result in a sweeping re-
form of automobilep rejection.
Application for liquidation of the

Company and the United States Au-

granted today in the Supreme Court.
The combined liabilities of the two
companies were given as 3123,0eo
more than their assets. Thefts of
automobiles and bogus thefts in
which owners ran their cars into
rivers and claimed insurance were
said to be responsible for the fail
ure. All policies of the two COM
panies will be null and void after
midnight September &c.
Both companies declared insolvent

able to keep abreast of losses by
raising premiums with facility as
