 Lanyard finally broke in Who is pnmont and whyP"

 one would be glad to be sure of that Lanyard murmurcd
 "bnt all this bcgs my question:" {" Lanyard objected Who is Dupont, and why?"
 T think l can answer that question, monsieur" This was Liane Delorme.
 "l recognized him this morning, when you were struggling with him, His name Is Popnot."
 There was Popinot in Paris in my day; they nic'named him the Prince of the Apaches. But he was an older man, and died by the guillo- tine. This Pop!net who calls him self Dupont, then, must be his son."
 That is true monsieur"
 All of which brings us to the sec ond part of my question, l.iane. Why lDupont?"
 Liane shrugged and studied her hedizened fingers, The heavy black brows circumfeXed Monks eyes. and he drew down the corners of his wide mouth. Phinuit fixed an amused gaze on distant corner of the room and chewed his cigar.
 Why did Dupont-or Popinot, I nes? Why did he try to murder Mademoiselle nelorme? Why did he seek to prevent our reaching Cher bourg?"
 Give you three gusses,' Phinuit offered amiably But l warn you if you use more than one you'll forfeit my respect forever"
 You admit, then, you have the jewels?"
 Why noto" Phinuit inquired coolly.

 Lanyard resigned limp fingers to his clasp
 And most spirited Of you. I'm sure, Captain Monk Anothe, bow. Lanyard looked to fiane: Forgive me If seem confused, but l thought you told me Mister Whita- ker Monk had sailed for America a week ago"
 And so he did" the captain agreed blandy. "Mr. Monk, the owner, is my first cousin. You see in me merely the skipper of my wealthy kinsmans yacht"
 And your two names are the same yours and yonr cousins? You're both Whitaker Monks?"
 Tt is d favorite name in our family, monsieur"
 Lanyard waggcd his head in solemn admiration.
 That makes it all so clear"
 Well, anyway I'm glad to meet you to your bare face" said Monk And now suppose we adjourn to the shippers quarters where we can inn prove one another's acquaintance"
 Lanyard remarked that there were places laid for four, He had been ex- pected then. Neither Monk nor Phinuit had betrayed the least sur prise on seeing Lanyard; and Phinuit had not even troubled to recognize the fiction which Liane had uttered in accounting for him.

 A glimpse of startled faces was al they had Jules touched the head light switch and opened the exhaust Above the roaring of the latter I.an yard faneied he could hear a fain rattling sound. He looked back anc smiled grmly. Sharp, short flames Of orange and scarlet were stabbinl the darkness, Somebody had opened fire with an automatic pistol Sheer waste of ammunition.
 The pace wayed terrific on road like so many roads of France. ap- parently interminable and straight. And yet, long before the road turned, Lanyard, staring aatern as he knelt on the rear seat with arms crossed on the folded top, saw the two white eyes of the gray car swing into view and start in pursuit. Quick work he called it.
 He crawled forward and communi- eated his news.
 Don't ease up unless you have to- he counseled; don't think we dare give them an inch
 Back at his post of observation, he watched, hoping against hope, while the car luneed and tore like mad thing through the night, snoring up grades, screaming down them, drum ming across the levels, clattering wildly through villages and hamlets. His heart sank as minute succeeded minute, mile followed mile, and ever the lights of the pursuing car, lost to sight from time to time, reappeared with d brighter, fiercer glow, and con- yiction forced itself home that they were being gradually but surely over- hauled
 He took this intelligence to the ear of Jules, The chauffeur answered only with a worried shake of his head that said too plainly he was doing his best extracting every ounce of power from the engine.
 Less than three hundred yards separated pursued and pursuer as they raced out through open fields once more. And foot by foot this lead was being inexorably cut down.
 In the seat beside the driver of the gray car a man rose and steadying himself by holding onto the wind- shield, poured out the contents of an automatic, presumably hoping to puncture the tires of the quarry 4 bullet bored a neat hole through the windshield between the heads of Liane Delorme and Jules.

 Instead he turned to the lunch hamper and opened it. In the bot tom of the basket lay six pint bottles of champagne, four of them un- opened. Lanyard took them to the rear seat-and found the gray car had drawn up to within fifty yards Of it's prey. Making d pace better than seventy miles per hour, it would not dare swerve.
 The first empty bottle broke to one side, the second squarely between the front wheels He grasped the first full bottle by the neck and felt it's weight promised more accuracy, but ducked before attempting to throw it as volley of shots sought to dis courage him. At the first lull he rose and cast the bottle with the overland action employed in grenade throwing. It crashed fairly beneath the nearer forward wheel of the gray car, but without effect The lead had been abridged to thirty yards; in
 
 The fourth bottle went wild, but the fifth exploded six inches in front of the offside wheel and it's tagged fragments ripped out the heart of the tire. On the instant of the accom- panying blowout the gray car shied like frightened horse and swerNed of the road, hurting headlong into a clump of trees. The subsequent crash was like the detonation of s great bomb. Deep shadows masked that tragedy beneath the trees. Lam yard saw the beam of the headlights lift and drill perpendicularly into the zenith before it was blacked out.

'OMAHA STRIKERS VOTE
TO RETURN TO WORK
Decision to Call Oft Strike Is
Made at Mass Meeting of
Packing House Workers

Omaha.-Large crowds OF former
packing house workers gathered at en-
ployment offices in the packing plant
district seeking employment, according
to reports from that section Tuesday,
following the calling off of their strike
In Omaha by adoption of a resolution
at mass meeting declaring its contin-
uation would cause unnecessary suf-
fering on the part of a great number
of workers.
A considerable percentage Of the
men had to be turned away, but, ac-
cording to c. b. Orchard a member of
the packers publicity committee they
will be taken back in accordance with
whatever demand for their services is
made. Two hundred former employees
were put to work last week he said and
there were prospects that increased
business would necessitate further al
ditions to packer plant forces.
Commenting on the termination Of
the strike in Omaha, Jacob II. Davis.
president of district council No. of
the A. M. G. and B. w. u, said':
"The packing house workers of Oma-
ha have received a temporary setback.
but the spirit displayed throughout the
eight weeks Of struggle and sacrifice
will encourage workers in all lines of
industry by its show of solidarity"
Davis added that it was up to the
packers by their future treatment of
employees to say whether there will be
a second strike.
According to Davis a conference Of
international butcher workmen heads
was held in Chicago last week when 1t
was agreed that strikers In each city
where a strike was in progress should
have power to terminate 1t.

McCumber Says Big G. 0. P. Papers
Are SOrdid and Mercenary.

Senator McCumber has a poor opin-
ion of the big Republican papers in
metropolitan communities. Replying
to their editorial criticism of the Nc
Cumber Profiteer Tariff bill, he ac-
cuses them of being controlled by mer-
cenary and sordid motives. He says:
SNOW, | have little so say upon the
subject of the papers from which the
Senator from North Carolina (Mr.
Simmons) has quoted. The policies of
practically all of the great metropol-
itan papers of the country are gov
erned by the counting rooms. If the
great department stores do not own
stock in the great metropolitan press
of the country, they are their custo-
mers, and, through the advertising
medium control the policy of those pa
pers. From the time of the introduc-
ton of the great department stores
of the country until the present time,
these papers have gradually become
their mouthpieces in favor of practi-
cally free trade, or at least very low
tariff"
