tails OF the plan for the prosecution
Of public officials in New Jersey We're
discussed today by officials of the In
tc~rnational Reform bureau, who vain.
iy attempted TO prevent tho staging

they would ale legal action against
officials whom they considered had

The bureau has already demanded
the arrest OF jack DEMPSEY, the vic
torfous chnpion, on a charge OF as
saul and battery upon Carpenter.
DIR. Wilbur F. Crafts, superlntend-
ent OF the bureau. has also declared
that Governor Edwards violated the

"details. The some 10000 spectators
who focked into the great arena are
also cited by the reformers as law
They base their contention
upon the assertion hat h spectacle
witnessed Saturday was n prize fight
which is prohibited under the New
Jersey boxing law.
Asked what steps the bureau in
tended taking toward the punishment
OF those responsible for the fight. DR..
crafts replied:
Il cannot make public our plans at
present"
DR.. Crafts that the bu-
reau was planning a crusade against
the exhibition of motion pictures of
the fight anywhere in the world. He
said letters would be sent to every
mayor in the United States and that
the bureau hoped thus materially TO
curtail the exhibitions. An appeal to
the federal government TO prevent the
pictures being sent to foreign u
tries will be made also. DR.. Crafts
said.
As for a probable Carpentier-Gib-
bons or Dempsey Willard fight, DR..

a ndli
 The man in the underbrush SUI fened :. slowly rose, nolseiess us smoke. The man approaching the door seemed to hesitate; stopped. The other sank down again in the bushes. The head of flowing hair rocked back and forth across the curtains.
 It was a strained moment; three handed game in the dark; an intense three-angled drama of life-mayhap or more than life, If the honor of Ii wotaan is mere iiln1 that.
 'lyse man hes1tating before the door had the next play. What held his hand? The song? Perhaps his plans were not yet ripened to the full He made another step toward the door l; stopped; jerked his shoulders up sav- agely; glared about; brought his eyes back to the rocking shadow; swore softly; turned and stalked silently away down the path toward Fallen Rock. ..ssaeH : ssftse1iss ss.s1tss s;s.:s,,ys

turned. A gasp broke from her at the sight of him-tattered, hatless bruised and bloody.
 Forgive me that come before you like-this," he stammered.
 An impulsive step brought her to his side.
 Forgive mel" she repeated, her voice still a-quiver; her face pity-ten- dered. "You must let me dress your hurts."
 He shaded the candle with his body while she raised the curtain over the door and slipped out to the kitchen. She was back before he could have believed it, carrying basin of cold water and some strips of muslin, all of which she had managed to get to- gether in the deep dark.
 Drawing chair near the candle she made him sit down-a quite obvi- ous necessity, if she was to reach his head. But she didn't stop with wash ing the clots out of his hair and bind ing up the scalp wound. The cuts and bruises on his face and chest came in for their share. When her ministra- tions were over he was another man.
 All unsuspecting, the girl did other things for him that night besides

answered. And once killed hawk that pestered the chickens"
 A grin puckered his eyes for a mo ment, then his brows lowered. An. other question, hard one, had to be asked, that set him raking over his slim stock of words for ways to ask it
 "Do girls-I mean-have you got any place about you-your dress-to car ry it?"
 She was looking at him, her eyes frank and wide-eyes that had nc need to narrow.
 'I haven't" she answered.; "but can make One."
 q advise you to-"
 He laid the revolver on the stand and turned back to her. The time had come to go, and they both knew 1t. For a while they stood silent. Once his hand reached toward her, but he drew 1t back.
 "Will you be ready to raise the blind when blow out the candleY he said at last.
 She went to the window and the next moment the room was in dark ness.
 Two fluttering spots of white in the gloom rolled up the blind, found the strings that held it and whipped them into a knot. Then the girl stepped back. The man crawled through the window-with extreme care not to scar the ground outside.
 It is past all knowing how her hands happened to get into his. He bent his head and laid his face upon them suffered them to slip out of his fingers at last; and turned away.
 He was gone on the instant-gone as a, shadow goes-never knowing that for long and long the dull window framed white face listening for some sound of him to come back out of the night.
 
 The woodcraft of the Pearlhunter was profound. It was about all life had taught him, but 1t had taught him that. With the logical precision of a schoolmaster passing from one step of problem to another. 1t led him straight to the trail of the man he had been following short time befQre- which, of course. took him in the di- rection of Fallen Rock. The man he followed had doubtless gone back to the village by this time. This prob ability he had already estimated and set down in his reckoning at it's proper value. But he had another pur- pose in turning his steps toward Fall sn Rock. He was deliberately going back to the cabin.
 With every caution to leave no trail, he picked his way through the woods to the edge of the bluffs, stole over and down toward the cabin. The first glance at the black bulk of 1t, squat ted in the deep gloom under the up standing rocks, brought him to in- stant pause. There was light with in. He crouched down in the bushes

on the ledge and stood fumDling the easement, lost in thought.
 "And yet I've that to do that must have light" he unused, more to him. self than to her, raising his head after a time and glancing toward the dim outline inside the window. "Is there a blind on your window that would hide candle?"
 "Why-yes--" she answered. pug zled and slow.
 It was long time before he spoke again. Had the light served, she might have seen in his eyes the struggle he was going through. He rubbed his drawn lips together to loosen them.
 "Wil1 you trust me in your roomY'
 The girl started. Her hands clutched each other. She knew it was not to have his wounds dressed that he asked. Short as her acquaintance with him had been, she knew it was not that. It was no light reason that had driven him to ask such a privi- lege. It gripped her. shook her, but strangely enough did not frighten her.
 "1'll trust you"
 Not often in mans life does he hear such gracious words. Nature is not lavish of such gifts. The shoul- ders of the Pearlhunter lifted. The droop left his head.
 May I come now? The night is go- ing. The moon will be up in another two hours"
 "Yes!"
 She stood farther back in the gloom. He slipped lightly in over the sill.
 "Please draw the blind before yor light the candle." he directed.
 He saw her arm reach up along the easement. The blind came down within touching distance of each othe, they stood in pitch darkness: man and woman-alone-wrap in the silent secrecy of the deep woods. He heard her quick breath. His heart beat up into his throat. Her gar. ments brushed against him. He heard her slippered feet feeling their way across the floor.
 There came the guarded scrape of . match. A sputtering, tardy flame was laid to the wick of candle on a small stand in the corner under a mir. TOT. The wick caught; smoldered flared to full strength. The wonder of her hair and throat and arms sprang out of the night. She laid the burnt match upon the candlestick and

to crusader what this unexpected cir cumstance meant before venturing an- other step.
 No sound came from the cabin. The night was intensely still. Not an oar stirred the river. The waterfall alone fretted the silence. The Pearlhunter
 1attened himself in the weeds and bushes and foot by foot worked his way until he was able at last to bring his face level with the tiny opening. With his eye close, the chink afforded a tolerably clear view of the interior of the cabin. He barely restrained a cry at what he saw.
 Stopped over the small, hair-covered trunk, his hat off, stood the Red Mask. He had pried open the lid and had laid the contents of the trunk out with seeming care in rather neat heaps upon the floor. In his hand he held the picture of the Iron-Gray- Woman.
 The Pearlhunter's gorge rose at see Ing his mothers picture in such hands, and his breast burned to dash into the cabin and settle his score with the sacrilegious wretch once and for all. But 1t was not his to do as he pleased that night. His activities for the mo- ment were limited to keeping his eye fast to the chink.
 The man by the trunk strengthened, carried the picture to the candle and stood looking long upon 1t. He laid 1t to his lips, again and again, as if he would drink up the beautiful face from the card. He pressed the picture to his bosom; held it again to the candle and whispered to it in tones that did not carry to the ear of the amazed listener. He strode up and down the room; and there was on his face look that no man had probably ever seen there before, and probably would never see again.
 After long moments he reused him. self, unbuttoned his vest, and put the picture carefully away in an inner pocket. The watcher outside the wall winced; his lips drew together in a tense line. But there was much to be seen just then. The man inside had risen, crossed the floor, put the things back in the trunk, closed the lid and picked up his hat Next moment the candle was blown out. The Pearlhunt- CT barely had time to creep into the fringe of weeds when the cabin door opened and softly closed.
 With brisk step that indicated he had flung off the spell of the past, the notorious renegade walked around the west end of the cabin. past the spring, and straight to the tiny pool under the waterfall, where the Pearlhunter, who had stolen along the north wall of the cabin had his second astounding sur prise since coming down the bluff.

The chief of police % san Francisco
