BOUND TO THE NORTH

When ParSOn Kennedy got out Oh
bed the next morning he found an in
teresting note under his door sill. He
was a wise old hawk, for he saw
through the trap at once. "Call at
Number Nine Black Street tonight at
ten if you would learn the truth about
Jeanne Beaufort"
"IFmph This smells strongly of my
old friend Morgan. We've nipped his
claws, but we must draw his teeth to
be rid of him."
He found Captain Armitage reading
a letter identically the same as his
own.
Its a trap, sOn-plain as day"
"But suppose we take a look at itT'
suggested Armltage.
"All right. Well 90 to Number
Nine tonight. Forewarned is fore
armed. I'm kind of curious myself If
the house doesn't look right, why, we
can shy off,
The block in which Number Nine
was situated was practically deserted.
Kennedy mounted the steps and rang
the bell. Then things began to hap
pen. Men dashed out of the door, and
came pouring from the alley. BY their
sudden and unexpected volleying, they
tOppled Kennedy and Armitage to the
sidewalk.
Neither had the slightest chance to
defend himself.
They were swiftly bound and gagged:
bundled roughly into an evil-smelling
hack and driven away. An hour
brought them to their journeys end.
They were lifted out. A cabin stood
back Of the road.
They were carried inside, and
glance was sufficient to acquaint them
with the desperateness of their situa-
ton. Upon table stood keg Of
powder, attached to which was ten
minute fuse.
Terror first, then death!
The two men were placed In chairs
and rebound so securely that they
could move neither hand nor foot. The
men who performed this service on
completing their work sOlemnly filed
out.
Immediately Morgan stepped inside
the cabin, stared at his victims gloom
lily for a space-then stepped over and
relieved them of their gags.
"They say a prayer is more satlsfac-
tory If spoken aloud"
Kennedy spat grimly. He had never
asked mercy; he never would.
"Are you going to light that fuse,
Morgan?" asked Armitage.
81 am"
There was no mockery In Morgan's
eyes. He swore in his heart that this
was war, that the death of these two
men was military necessity. But it
was ragged defense, and his con
science saw through the tatters and
voiced the truth.
"This is not war it is murder said
Armitage.
"Well. what Is war but murder? You
would have shot me quickly enough. l
wln-that is ALL"
Kennedy ran his tongue across his
battered lips.
"Will you ever be able to forget us
otter this nights work. asked Armi-
tage.
"You are in my way"
at Is an abominable crime you are
about to commit Take us out and
shoot us, II you will. But not this
mutilation ~
81 do not care to have you found.
I intend that you two shall vanish
from the haunts OF men. John Armi-
tage, Parson Kennedy-adieu J"
He fired the fuse. placed the candle
on the table, bowed and backed out
of the cabin, closing the door gently.

F|REN|EN

Today will be a festive one for
the police and firemen Of the Dis
trict. It il the one day they for.
get their civic duties and turn their
thoughts to baseball. The cause is
the sixth annual diamond meeting
between the cops and firemen which
will take place this afternoon at
500 o'clock at the American Legue
Park. The proceeds will be added
to the fund for widows and orphans
Of policemen and firemen., A packed
stadium is the prospect as close to
10000 are expected to view the pro-
ceedings.
The rival combinations have been
we'll groomed for the occasion and
are prepared to wage tight battle
for the victory. The lads who
respond to fire alarms hope to sep
arate themselves from the jinx
which has trailed them since the
series was started in 1922.
Five times have these foes
FLASHED on the diamond and the
officers Of, the law have always
triumphantly walked off the
field.
The smoke fighters assert they
will check these losses today and
have trained with. a diligence that
harbors evil for their rivals. The
cops, nevertheless, are equally de.
termined to keep this string of vic.
tories unbrollen and will seek their
seventh conquest in today's battle.

Lieutenant Monkey has whipped

tend to make it unpleasant for the
cops this afternoon.
A familiar figure will be miss
ing when the teams go into
action. Finney Kelly, who has
