CHANNEL ISLANDERS
WRATHY; OBJECT TO

| LONDON, Nov, 7.-1nhabitants OF
two tiny ChanDel Islands-Herm
area 800 acres, and Jethou, area, A
acres--are up in arms against the
conduct of their new Laird--CSomp-
ton Mackenzie, famous novelist
They have been believing that he
intends to close the islands to their
ordinary summer visitors and in
stead erect a casino for his own
friends
Mackenzie says they are laboring
under false Impressions
II have leased the islands from
the Crown" he says. Under the
lease visitors have a privilege
not a right'-to land in Herm and
Jethou on two days n week, paying
n toll of twelve cents each, of which
the Crown receives four cents and
the other eight. 1t would be nei-
ther to my interest nor to that OF
the 300 inhabitants to keep out Wis
itors.
ut is untrue that l intend to con-
vert the islands into II casino. What
I am doing is converting the little
Mermaid Tavern into the Mermaid
Inn, where II dozen paying guests
can enjoy the air, shooting, fishing
and in the future game of golf.
What | am aiming at is the cs-
of little country club
on American lines. | only want the
islanders to rely on my personal
good will"
The inhabitants of the little Chan
mel Islands still regard themselves

The Grip in the Dark

ing In front of the house and departed
therein in high dudgeon to his club
and to dinner. After he had fallen
asleep that night he awoke with q
start.
He was sure that something or some
one was moving about in his room.
And then a tiny searchlight swept
across his face inquiringly. Craig flung
himself clear of the covers and with y
flying stride was upon the burglar,
throttling him.
Surprised and stunned the man went
down. Craig's hand went instantly to
the burglars right. He tore the pistol
from the clenched fist, and flung it
across the room.
In the tenseness of the moment, two
things came forcibly to Craigs notice.
One was that while he himself was
breathing fast and hard from his exer-
tioh, the breath of his captive was as
even and regular as If he were asleep.
The other was that neither of them
had made sound in the quiet en-
counter.
In the silence he heard the chimes
from the clock in the stately tower
complete their quatrain, indicating the
close of an hour; and after moment
the bell doomed out the hour of two.
Realizing that his antagonist was
playing with him, allowing him to use
up all his energy, Rutherford gathered
himself together for mighty effort.
The push button ON the opposite side
Of the room would summon Mike. He
must reach it, if he had to drag this
inert weight all the way across with
him. He turned in that direction.
Whether the man suspected his in
tention, or decided that .
now ripe for an effort in his own be-
half, Rutherford could not guess. He
only knew of the swift change of atti-
tude, as a grip like the swapping shut
of a steel spring closed down upon
his arm. He knew that hold. He had
never felt it but once. He had never

object in view, to make his escape.
Rutherford darted after him. The
next instant, the retreating figure re-
versed its motion and met the oncom~
ing man with terrific momentum.
Rutherford was hurled to the floor by
the impact. He felt himself seized in

On their return to the West Tenth
street house they saw Sophie going ug

as the telephone bell rang.
Miss Ballantyne took the receiver
and at the first words she turned pale.
"Wait a moment" she said to the
other person; 'sMr. Rutherford is here.
Tell him, please!"
"Who is it?" said Craig.

she was with me at the Ritz-Carlton.
We saw Helderman there. Are you

There was no reply. Evidently the
connection was cut off, or Ballantyne
had no more to say. Rutherford hung
up the receiver and turned to the girl
She had followed the details from his

"If Mr.. Helderman was here" she
whispered, ''he must have come d.

"And he must have known that your

Craig. Look here, Miss Billie Bal

Slowly but surely he was bent back

So long as Sims didn't answer, Berlin
would have sent another message to

what for?" exclaimed Craig.
"Wasn't suspicion directed pretty
pointedly at couple of passengers on
that ship?"
"But why should such report have
been circulated at all-and who could
have been interested in it?" he ques-
toned.
"It was all part of shrewd
scheme by your friend Helderman. He
was afraid the secret service men
might have just such a message, and
he started it on his own account-to
divert spicion-from himself"
"Then Helderman's a smuggier?"
queried Craig.

the secret service man vouchsafed.
