Jailer Moore turned the key in a
cell lock to let out a trusty who
was to prepare breakfast for the
prisoners. The trusty was out,
and Moore was about to turn the
key and lock in the others when
a strong arm grabbed him by the
wrist. In a second the door was
flung open and Moore was knocked
scnseless.
Assistant Jailer FLAX arrived on
the scene from upstairs in time to
see the two prisoners, Luther
Robinson, 26. indicted by the
Grand Jury on HOUSEKEEPING
charge, and Frank Jackson. 20,
held on a grand larceny charge,
making their way out the Jail
door, which Moore also had left
unlocked. He was unarmed and
made no attempt to follow the
escaping men.
When Sergt. Robert II. Cox
came to the Jail he indicated that
Jaiier Moore had been guilty OF
gross neglect in allowing the outer
Jail door to remain open while he
was opening a cell door, and said
he would relieve him from further
service Immediately.
A reward of SIS has been offered
for each of the fuaitives.
Bloodhounds have not yet been
put on their trial, inasmuch as their
apprehension is expected at any
time. There were 81 prisoners IN
the Jail at the time.

The White Elephant.
THE END.
(Copyright, 1927

1T is said by experts in such matters
that rarely has an elephant been
seen that Is actually white, though
f1esh-colored elephants and elephants of
reddish brown have been found. In
Siam. the land of the white elephant,
an elephant Of abnormal coloring is the
symbol Of all that Is wise and beautiful.
Kings crown him, priests worship at his
feet and people adore him.
About half century ago the capture
Of fine salmon skinned specimen was
heralded from the wildS. Preparations
were under way for his spectacular adj
vent into Bangkok, the capital. when
the word came that the beast had died
on the way. overfed by enthusiastic
captorS. The King, 1t Is reported, went
and refused to be comforted, for the
dead elephant, so 1t was said, had s'blue

states that once out Of kindness Of
heart two jewellers in the Jungle washed
a young elephant that had been mired
and was coated with mud. And, 10 and
behold, his skin when cleaned was a
tan color, and they realized that the

They were ennobled, loaded with gifts,
allotted grants of land and exempted
from taxation. The new-found treas
ure. doubtless much bewildered at the
change in his fortunes, was floated down
the river to Bangkok on q barge hung
with crimson. He was fed on choice
herbs and sweets and he drank per-
fumed water. Flags and music marked
his progress toward the capital, and the
King and his court received him with
bands. The title Of count" was be-
slowed upon him and he mounted his
dais in the Kings stables.
At the present time, 1t is understood,
only three sacred elephants occupy the
palace stalls. The most extraordinary
one Is brown-red with pink spots. Now
adays, II an off-color animal Is secured,
it is shipped to Bangkok in a prosaic
freight car and his captor gets a mod
crate reward. The bulky figure of the
holy elephant is no longer to be seen
on the national flag. A university
graduate rules Siam, and old customs
are giving way to new.

And apparently out of the thin air
still more enemy armies appear on the
Austrian TANKS. to the left, to the
right-and behind.
The AuStrianS are surrounded by such
brilliant satellites Of Napoleon as Soult,
Ney, Murat, .LanneS and others. What
has become of the revolution at Ma
poleon's back, of the English landed
on his coasts?
Mack has no time to inquire. For
Napoleon from every side of his famous
necklace" is pointing cannon at Mack
with the ultimatum, Surrender CT
perishl"
Mack surrenders.
Paris goes mad not with revolution
but acclaim of its great idol, Napo-
leon. Even the coast on which the
English were supposed to have landed
celebrates.
And the newspapers-not the ones
that had been printed In editions strict
ly limited for Marshal Mack's perusal
now read quite differently from those
whose specially manufactured pages had
built up such hopes in the hearts Of the
Austrian general staff.
II y
ONE would think that Schulmeister
would find this convenient time
to leave his Austrian friends 1t APP
pears, however, this was not Schulz
meisters way. There was still work
for him to do in the Austrian camp
and he stayed Naturally there were
cold, inquisitorial eyes turned upon him
and he was invited pointedly to ex-
plain things.
1t took mastery lying, superb acting
and unparalleled audacity for him To
meet the situation. It is a pity that
there was neither monograph nor mo-
ton picture to record the session in
which Schulmeister faced Marshal
Mack and his staff after the Austerlitz
debacle. Their joint record would have
made q superb chapter in the history of
audaciouS escapes.
Just what he told the Austrians is
not known exactly; it was something
to the effect that some one on his staff
must have betrayed him to Napoleon.

to lose by saying the word. Thus al
most Immediately Schulmeister became
recognized as part of the espionage
organization of the Austrian Army.
He was given a small staff of cou-
riers who at his detailed instruction
got in touch With his "key men" in
France and information began to flow
from Paris, from the Channel coast,
from the north and south of France,
from Napoleon's very camp.
Part of this excellent service con-
sisted Of almost daily deliveries of a
comprehensive French newspaper. In
its columns Marshal Mack read not
only highly gratifying news but also
confirmation of his increasing convic-
ton that In Schulmeister fortune had
sent him a golden gift.
For what Schulmeister forecast as
probability on a Monday, Marshal
Mack read later in the French paper
that now came with such happy regu-
larity. Clearly the man was genius.
And 1t was the part of wisdom TO
make full use of genius.
Schulmeister was given more and
more men for his work; the more men
he got the more he justified further
promotion; until we behold him occupy
ing no less q rank than chief of the
whole. Secret Service of the Austrian
Army!
Meanwhile life for him in the capital
of Austria was increasingly pleasant.
He was a rising celebrity. All Vienna
opened its doors to him. The leading
dancing teacher taught him to waltz
The prettiest women-and how well
Viennese women have maintained their
fame for looks and charml--were his
partners In the dance and between
dances Fashionable clubs were his.
Even royalty was gracious.
And Schulmeister seemed to earn it
all. For his spies sent to Vienna
climax to the good news that had been
coming through Schulmeister in secret
code, later to be confirmed with his
daily French newspaper.
France, it seems, was highly dissatis-
fed with Napoleon. Bits of revolt had
broken out, according to these reports
and newspapers, in Channel ports, in
the South Of France, and finally a
blood bath had to be used in Paris to
quench the spreading sparks. Now they
were breaking out again, these sparks,
this time mounting fire.
