The Reason Madge Promised the
 Gang to Keep Quiet

For a dazcd second or two after the nonehalant agreement of the gang leader to the proposal to murder me, stood motionlcss and so horror stricken that if if had not been for the grasp of the brutal hands upon my arms l believe I should have fallen to the g"ound.
 l never have believed much in the visions drowing men are supposed to have. but know that in this flashing instant the picture of my small son crying for his mother who could never come 10 him again, famed against my eyes as if it had actual power to scar them.
 Then. like a dash of cold water flung into my face, common sense came to my rescue.
 Desperate, lawless though these men might be. yet surely they were not so devoid of ordinary prudence as to risk the electric chair by killing a woman for no other reason than my possible knowledge of the fuEs which Mamie had hidden in the farmhouse barn, and which l was taking with her to New York.
 "I Will Go Quietly"
 Detail me they undoubtedly would, and also take Mamie and the furs away from me. I knew that I prob ably would experience discomfort, that my return home would be de- layed and that my opportunity to take the furs to Lillian would be lost. but told myself. insistenly trying to bol- ster up my own courage, that these things were the worst that could be- fall me.
 Fighting off the impulse to scream twisted my head away from the coat which one Of the men was pre- pairing to throw over 1t, and addressed the leader:
 "I will go with you quietly" I said tersely. There is no need 10 gag or tie me. But you are the leader of these men. are you not? At least you appear 10 be the man best fitted for leadership. and I have something to say to you alone. do not think you quite know who am, and just what the consequences of pumping me off.' as you put it, may be-"
 The man looked at me keenly, and I saw that the bit of flattery had reached him. Whether it would aid me any or not I could not tell, but at least he made a dissuading sign 10 the man with the coat.
 X Tortuous Ride
 'T haven't any time to spiel with you now" he said roughly, but If you'll give your word not to open your mouth unless tell you 10, I'll lay off the gag"
 gave the required promise eager ly, but. as if regretting his lenient im- pulse. hc only growled sullenly as he turned away
 Tt don't matter much. 1t she opens her mouth. Rob, bat her over the head. Here Frank, you get into her car with the other girl and go over to Bill's garage. Vel" follow you right along. Here Right in this hollow"
 Two of inc men lifted mo from my feet and swung me aboard the truck. into space hardly large enough for person to. stand. I thanked my stars for my slight figure as squeezed Into the space allotted me. and devoted my attention for the next half hour to the vain attempt 10 keep from getting bruised by the jolt ing of the truck, which kept knocking my body against the edges of the boxes slowed around me.
 1t was impossible for me 10 sec anything outside the huge truck, but I knew by the excessive jolting that the machine had left inc main high way and vas 'rayerging one of the

Eight Hour Day Given
 Set Back in Germany

By The Associated Press
 Berlin, Sept. 4. - The German government is as yet unable to act on the international eight-hour agreement drawn up in Washington in 1919, Minister of Labor Brauns declared today in the first official governmental statement to the press on Germanys attitude toward the agreement.
 Germany, he said, favors the agreement in principle and has never refused to ratify the principle in- volved, but the government as yet is not able to act because she is facing extraordinary conditions in- cidental to the burdens placed on her as. a result of the war.
 Herr Brauns declared that the en- tire economic situation of Germany was 50 uhelear that the government could not proceed independently as the other nations had. Furthermore, he added, such varied practices had been adopted by the other nations regarding the working day, that it was difficult to understand the atti- tudes of many.

 "Instead of a policy of good will toward China" Izvestia declares, ''the United States is now organizing against her an inimical union with England and Japan. This is being done because Mr. Hughes will not allow China to carry out her own policy"
 While MT. Hughes is so afraid of civil war in China, the newspaper continues, we believe the coming confagration there, which is being eagerly anticipated by the American press, will be arranged on American money and in accordance with plans set forth by MT.
