 MIKE CLINCH, Now the malevolent influence which had hung over each poSsesser of the priceless Flaming jewel ever since IL was stolen from refugee countess Of Esthonia. gathered like fog about the dis reputable hunting camp which Clinch owned in the Adirondacks. Here. among the criminals and riff raff or the North Woods, Cinch lives with his beautiful step- daughter,
 EVE STRAYER.
 JAMES DARRAGH learns from the countess that the Flaming Jewel was originally stolen from sher by QlINTANA, a great intAVnational thief whose New York agent Is EMANU FL SAEp. Darragh robs Sad of a co"s letter from Quin- tana, which states that the Fam ins Jewc IS now in the possession ot Mike Cnnch, DarraGh heads for Clinch's cabin at Star Pond and on his trail are two State Troopers, seeking to arrest him for the hold up of Sard.

CHAPTER III.

Clinch, in his shirt sleeves, came out on the reranda. He had little light gray eyes, closely clipped gray hair, and was clean shaven.
 How gre you. Clinch,' inquired Lannis affably.
 All right" replied Clnch; you re the same, I hope
 Trooper Stormont, MT. Clinch, said Lannis in his genial way
 Pleased to know you, said Clinch, level-eyed. unstirrng.
 The troopers dismounted Both shook hands with Clinch Then Lan- his led the way to the barn.
 From the care of their horses they went to pump to wash
 Lannis said in Stormont's ear; Here she comes with towels. She's pretty, isn't she?"
 A young girl in ping gingham ad- yanced toward them across the patch Of grass.
 Lannis was very polite and pre- sented Stormont The girl handed them two rough towels, glanced at Stormont again after the introduction, smiled slightly.
 "Dinner is ready, she said
 They dried their faces and followed her back to the house.
 It was an unpainted building. partly of log. In the dining room half a dozen men waited silently for food. Lannis saluted all, named his com rade, and seated himself.
 A delicious odor of johnny cake pervaded the room. Presently Eve Strayer appeared with the dinner.
 There was dew on her pale fore head-the heat of the kitchen no doubt The girls thick. lustrous hair was brownish gold, and so twisted up that it revealed her ears and very white neck.
 When she brought Stormont his dinner he caught her eyes moment experienced slight shock of pleas ure at their intense blue-the genuan- blue of the summer zenith, at mid day.
 I,annis remained aNable, even be- came jocose at moments:
 NO hootch for dinner, Mike? How's that, now?'
 "The Bootleg Express is a day late" replied Clinch, with cold humor. a...... ....,
 Around the table ran an odd sound "a company of catanounts feedlhs might have made such a nolse-ll catamounts ever laugh.
 stormont had finished dinner. ne heard a low, charming voice rom behind his chair:
 Apple pie, lemon pie maple caNe' berry roll .,,
 He looked up into two gentlah- Blue eyes. o3a
 "Lemon pie, piease,' he sala' flushing. .bo
 When dinner was over and the hare dining room empty except TOT c,inch and the two state troopers the former folded his heavy, power fnl hands on the tables cage a"', turned his square face and pa'e-eSeN gaze on Lannis.

Spit 1t out he said in a passion less voice. lannis crossed one knee over the other, lighted a cigarette;
 'ls there a young fellow working for you named Hal smith?"
 No" said Clineh.
 "Sure?"
 sure"
 "Clinch," continued Lanns, have you h aard about q stick-up on the Mood-road out of Ghost Lake,"
 No"
 Well, a wealthy tourist from New Iork--a Mr, Sard, stopping at Ghost Lake lnn--was held up and robbed last Saturday toward sundown."
 Never heard of him" said C!inch, calmly.
 There was pause
 We heard you had q new man named Hal smith working around ycn" place"
 "No." "t.e came here Saturday night" Who says so?r
 "A guide from Ghost Lake"
 Hes a liar"
 You know" said l.annis. it won't do you any good if hod-up men can hide here and make a getaway"
 'G'wan and search' said Clinch, calmly.
 They searched the "hotel" from

sarret to cellar. They searched the barn, boat-shed, out houses.
 While this was going on, Clinch went into the k'-chen.

 He went into Harrold's to get us Ia deer" she replied in low voice.
 What has he done?''

 He's hunting on Owl Marsh. I'll try"
 Al right Change your clothes and slip out the back door. And look out for Harrod's patrols, too.'
 All right dad she said If I have to be out tonight don't worry. I'll get word to Smith somehow"
 Half an hour later Lannis and Stormont returned from prowl around the clearing Iannis paid the reckoning; his comrade led out the horses He said again to Lannis:
 I'm sure it was the girl. She wore men sclothes and she went into the woods on a run
 About o'clock the two State Troopers. riding at a walk, came to the forks of the Ghost Lake road.
 NOW" said Lannis to Stormont, If you really believe you saw the girl beat it out Of the back door and take to the woods, she's probably some where in there he pointed into the western forest. But" he added, whats your idea in following herr"

buekled his spurs.
 When he was ready he gave his bride to Lannis.
 I'd just like to see what she's ur to-, he remarked.
 The forest was open amid a biz stand Of white pine and hemlock, and Stormont travelled easily and swiftly He had struck line by compass that must cross the direction taken by Eve Strayer when she left Clinch's, But 1t was a wild chance that he would run across her
 Far away In sthe open forest Stor- mont heard the shot and turned In that direction.
 But Eve already was very near when the young man who called him rods deer-a three-prong buck on the edge of the dead water.
 Smith had drawn and dressed the buck by the time the girl found him.
 He was cleaning up when she ar rived, squatting by the waters edge when he heard her voice across the owale;
 Smith. The State Troopers are looking for you!"
 He stood up. dried his hands on his brooches. The girl picked her way across the bog, jumping from one tussock 10 the next.
 When she told him what had hap pened he began to laugh.
 Did you really stick up this man?' she asked incredulousy.
 I'm afraid I did, Eve he replieid, still laughing.
 The girls entire expression altered.
 50 that's the sort you are, she said. T thought you different. But you're all a rotten lot
 If you think me so rotten, why did you run all the way from Clinch's to warn lne?" he asked curiously

BROTHERS ON HUNTING TRIP
DROWN IN POISON RESERVOIR

Poison. MontE-A triple tragedy oc-
Cured here when William. Lyle and
Lee Combs, brothers, aged %, 10 and
Is, sons Of j. w. Combs. who resides
six miles east of Poison, were drowned
in the Pablo Irrigation reservoir, where
they had gone to hunt ducks and trap
muskrats. The boys left home for the
reservoir. five miles south of Poison,
with a team and wagon. expecting to
camp there and hunt.
There were no witnesses to the trag-
edy, but 1t is presumed that the boys
had gone out on a point of Ice and
broken through. 1t is thought one or
more of the brothers persisted In an
attempt to save the other. A young
man hunting near the reservoir dam
heard a cry for help and ran TO the top
Of the dam just In time to see nj of
the boys disappear. He ran TO Pablo
for help and secured assistance at
once, but 1t was impossible to reach
the boys without a boat. A call was
sent to Poison for a boat, which was
rushed to the scene on a truck.
With the aid of a pike pole, the three
bodies were taken from the water,
which was but seven or eight feet
deep. 1t was more than an hour after
the alarm was given before the bodies
were recovered.
