Gabriel Warden, Seattle capital

a caller, to be admitted without
question. He informs his wife of
danger that threatens him If he
pursues course he considers the
only honorable one. Warden leaves
the house in his car and meets a
man whom he takes into the ma
chine. When the car returns home,
Warden is found dead, murdered,
and alone. The caller, a young
man. has been at Warden's house,
but leaves unobserved. Bob Con-
merry. conductor, receives orders to
hold train for a party. Five men
and a girl board the train. the
Eastern Express The father of
the girl, Mr.. Dorne, is the person
for whom the train was held. Philip
ID. Eaton, young man, also
boarded the train. Dorne tells his
daughter and his secretary, Don
Avery, to find out what they can
concerning him. The two make
Eaton's acquaintance.

and was staring at him. "What did
you do it for? What did you want

did you think l wasn't on the train?
What?"
Eaton felt he was paling as he
faced the clustering smaller man. He
realized that the passengers he could
see-those at the smaller tables
already had judged his explanation
and found him wanting; the others
PROFESSIONALLY had done the same
Avery was gazing up at him with a
sort of cOntented triumph.
''The telegram was for me- Conduc-
tori" he repeated.
Get that telegram, Conductor I" the
stout man demanded again.

you have letters or a card or some
thing, Mr.. Eaton, to show your re-
lationship to Lawrence Hillward"

Connery gazed from one claimant
to the other. "Will you give this gen.
tleman the telegram" he asked Eaton.
81 will not"
"Then | shall furnish him another
copy; it was received here on the
train by our express clerk as the OPP
orator. I'll go forward and get him an,
other copy"
said; and as though the matter was
closed for him, he resumed his seat
He was aware that, throughout the
car the passengers were watching him
curiously.
"Are you ready to go back to our
car now, Harriet" Avery inquired
when she had finished her breakfast,
though Eaton was not yet through.
Surely there's no hurry about any
thing today" the girl returned. They
waited until Eaton had finished.
"Shall we all go back to the obser-
walton car and see if there's a walk
down the track or whether it's showed
overY she said impartially TO the two.
They went through the Pullmans to-
gether.
The first Pullman contained four or
five passengers; the next, in which
Eaton had his BERTH was still empty
as they passed through. The next
Pullman also, at first glance, seemed
to have been deserted in favor of the
diner forward or of the club-car far
ther back. The porter had made III
all the berths there also, except one +;
but someone was still sleeping behind
the curtains of Section Three, for a
mans hand hung over the aisle. 1t
was a gentlemans hand, with long,
well-formed fingers, sensitive and at
the same time strong. That was the
berth of Harriet Dorne's father; Ea-
ton was the last of the three to pass,
and so the others did not office his
start but so strong was the fascina-
ton of the hand in the aisle that he
turned back and gazed at 1t before
going on into the last car Some
eight or ten passengers-men and
lounging in the easy
chairs of the observation room; a
couple, ulstered and fur-capped, were
standing on the platform gazing back
from the train.

OAKLAND DESERVES A
CHANCE AT THE TITLE
Sports Writer In Cumberland
News Champions Oakland.

c. V. Burns, sports writer of the
staff of the Cumberland News, con-
tributed the following in the issue of
his paper yesterday morning:
Basketball will meet its waterloo
at the close of this month, and since
there has been a three-cornered wran-
gle between the Alsatias and Elks, of
HagerstOwn and the Knights of Good
fellowship, of Cumberland, Walter
Hoyt's Oakland crew has been en-
tirely forgotten.
Oakland can boast of the best rec
ord in Western aryland this season
and l am quite sure either of the Ha-
gerstown teams cannot display a rec
ord equal to that of Hoyt's bunch.
The Garrett county quint is the logi-
cal contender for the Maryland State
title and can display a record far su-
perior to any of the State teams west
of the Monumental city. A total of
nineteen games have been played by
the Oaklanders up to the present writ
ing, and the team has been declared
the victor in Is of these contests.
Like the X. o. G. Club, Oakland has
what may be termed strictly home
floor club" as both teams have lost all
of their games played on foreign
courts. This also applies to Hagers-
towns teams, as they have played
mostly all of their games in the
Washington county capital. When
the K. 0. G. Club defeated Oakland
here recently the Hagerstown papers
came out the following day with the
statement that it was unnecessary to
play Oakland because the local team
had easily disposed of Hoyt's clan.
Nothing appeared in the Hagerstown
papers when Oakland defeated the K.
0. G. That game, evidently, was ov-
erlooked,
Remember last year the Taylor A.
A. started off a series for the West
ern Maryland title with Oakland!
The Taylorites won the first game
here but Oakland walloped them in
the Garrett county town. What hap
pened to the third game? The locals
put up an argument about the floor
on which the third nd deciding game
would be played. The series was
never finished. Oakland today really
owns half of the Western Maryland
melon, but very few realize it.
"The X. o. G. and Oakland should
get together on a series and start it
mighty quick or baseball will knock
everything for loop. Then if Hag-
erstown doesn't want to play the win
ner, the team winning the Oakland
K. o. G. series can lay as much claim
to the title this season as the winner
Of the Elks-Alsatia shindig.
"The Alsatla Club and Elks both
hold home floor decisions over the K.
0. G. but neither team has played
Oakland this season. To win a title
team has to dispose of all logical con-
tenders. The KOGS and Oakland are
both logical aspirants for the West
ern aryland crown, but the latter
team has even a stronger claim than
Manager Spiker's quintet. The K.
0. G.'s have won nine games and lost
six this season.
"When Hagerstown lays any claim
to the Western Maryland title with
out considering playing Oakland, it's
foolish, because Walter Hoyt's cohorts
can show the figures on which they
have their claim"
