CHAPTER VII

The spectacle Of death marching
back over its trail brought no terror
to Jeems. He had watched for it. had
half expected it, and in way it was
like the answer to an unvoiced PRAYER
which had followed his awakening
when he had found Toinette in his
arms. To fight for her now, to rush
forth from the house with battle
cry on his lips, and to be cut to pieces
in her defense was not prospect
which dismayed him, but which, in
stead, inspired in him a fearless ex-
altation. 1t was Toinette who saved
him from whatever folly was brewing
itself in his brain as he stood with a
long hunting arrow fitted to his bow.
With a breathless cry, she drew him
away from the broken door, and there,
safe for moment from the savages
who were entering the clearing, she
flung her arms about his shoulders.
For in these tragic seconds look had
come into Jeems' face like that which
had frightened her in the tower room
Of the mill, look hard and vengeful
with the desire to kill.
"Jeems, dear, we must hide" she
pleaded. "We must hide!"
The futility Of trying to conceal
themselves when their footprints were
clearly left upon the frosty ground did
not occur to him at once. It was her
voice and the name it claimed for him
that broke down the resolution which
soon would have betrayed them.
II know Of place." she was say
ing. 1--WE must hurry to it ~
She ran ahead Of him and he fol-
lowed her into another room where q
stair was falling into ruin. The red
killers had paused at the edge Of the
open. They stood motionless, like
stone men, listening and watchful, the
upper parts of their bodies still I'M
clothed until colder days and glisten-
ing with grease and paint. Toinette
| did not allow Jeems to pause, and the
steps made complaint as they trod
upon them. Jeems looked down from
the top and saw the marks of their
feet In the dust below. Their fate
was certain if the Mohawks came this
far, but with only the narrow stair
for their enemies to ascend he was
determined, in this event, that each
Of his twenty arrows should find q
home.
Toinette preceded him into the room
above. She went directly to panel
like board which held a wooden peg
and In moment they were peering
into the musty gloom of huge black
hole under the roof, which the LUIS.
sans had used as a garnet.
Madame Lussan brought me to this
room after your fight with Paul." she
whispered. II flung my spoiled clothes
far back in therei"
| Even with the savages so near.
| pathos and memory were in the trem-
! BILE Of her voice.
Jeems faced the narrow aperture
in the wall which Lussan had left as
window and gun hole for defense.
He went to the window, and Toinette
came close to his side. No eyes could
see them as they looked through the
rectangular slit Swallowed under the
caves. The Mohawks had not moved,
and from the steadiness Of their atti-
tude Jeems knew they had come upon
the open unexpectedly. Not hand
among the silent savages had moved
to Ratchet, bow, or gun.
| This fact drew a hopeful whisper
| from Jeems.

"The Fast Mountain Mail"

Persons as distinguished as the late
Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicago rode
in the cab of Philip Goldstein before
the war. They should have seen him
later, in the Vosges, as he piloted
"Goldstein's Fast Mountain Mail"
Goldstein emerged from the war as
sergeant with sterling record Of
service. Not the least of his accom-
plishments was delivering the mail on
time to his regimental headquarters
during one of it's early visits on the
line.
I Goldstein was a corporal and mail
orderly, in the mountains. He made a
single, toiling passage with heavy mail
sacks to an advanced p. c. Then he
decided his duties must be lightened.
On his second delivery, the mail
bags were strapped on the backs Of
two burros. They were tiny animals
but one of them could have handled
all the sacks. 1t became the custom
for cooks along the steep mountain
trail to tempt the little borros as they
struggled past, with kitchen delicacies
from the army stores.
"Hey! You're delaying the Gold
stein Mountain Mail" Corporal Gold
stein would shout Indignantly to the
cooks. And he'd urge one burro, then
the other, into action up the narrow
trail.
81 gotta use two Of 'em," he ex-
planned confidentially to the regi-
mental adjutant one day. "So's can
leave spots on 'em to reach with a
spur" Saying which he swung the
limb of tree against the nearest
burro with resounding whack! And
the "Fast Mountain Mail Of Goldstein"
was on its way again.
The Passing of Sea Power
Exactly ten days after the ARMS
tice, the Germany navy surrendered.
Sailors aboard the New York, Texas,
Wyoming, Arkansas and Florida (the
Sixth Battle squadron) on November
81, 1918, participated in the surrender.
The five American battleships were
in what was known as the red line
of two groups which Unanswered into
position so that highway Of victory
was formed down which the German
vessels steamed to lower their colors
at sunset.
Directly ahead Of the American
ships that day was the British Fifth

The British destroyer Cardiff went

manned.

COUNTY PROBE
TO Be FACED
BY CORONER
Inquiry Into Expenditures
Will Include Search of
Autopsy Costs.
SIFT CONSTABLE'S ACTS
Charges Made for Serving
SubpenaS Are Being
Investigated.
BY DICK MILLER

Investigation of expenditures and
activities of Coroner Fred H. Vehl-
ing is to be launched soon by county
commissioners, it was learned to-
day.
Commissioners are expected to
take their first step in the proba
on recommendation of Harvey Ora
bill, county attorney, that officials
determine whether the 81 800 county
autopsy fund of VehlingS has been
expended legally.
Grabill said today he will call
commissioners attention to the fact
that Vehling's autopsy found now is
exhausted, after Vehling has held
office less than four months.
Commissioners will be advised by
Grabill to give Vehling an oppor-
tunity to prove that each of the au-
topsieS, for which SIS fee is paid,
were conducted legally. Under the
law the coroner is not authorized
to conduct an autopsy unless the
death is caused by violence or cas-
ualty.
Employees Acts PrObed
Grabill pointed out that, under
some conditions, it might be neces-
sary for the coroner to spend more
than the $1,000 annual appropri-
alton. However, Grabill said, it also
could be possible that this amount
would be sufficient or more than
enough to be expended legally with
in year.
While commissioners are probing
the situation, Grabill said he also
will ask them to sift activities Of
Vehlings employees. Voucher claims
of Hugo Sommers, constable, for
costs of subpenaing witnesses are
expected to come before commits
SionerS.
Due to similarity of the amounts
on many of the mileage cost claims,
it appears that Sommers travelled
the same distance each time to
serve inquest witnesses.
Prosecution Is Possible
According to Indiana statutes, the
fee must be charged only for miles
actually traversed in serving the
writs.
If it is revealed that mileage has
been claimed on writS served by
mail, or when witnesses were called
by phone, Grabill indicated prosecu-
ton could be started by commits
SionerS.
Vehling said that DR.. Charles H.
Keever, former coroner, had set out
the need for $1,000 in the budget,
although, Vehling said. records re.
vealed that Keever had spent $500
for the purpose in one year.
Body Still Unclaimed
Vehling late Wednesday informed
The Times that the body of Paul
Kiefer, slain bandit, still is at Veh-
lings undertaking establishment,
702 Virginia avenue. The body has
been there since the bandit died
when shot by a grocer he and a
companion attempted to rob Feb. 2.
Tuesday night Vehling refused to
tell Times reporters if he still was
in possession of the body, declaring
Its none Of your business
However, Wednesday, he admit
ted possession of the body Veh-
ling said he still hoped relatives of
the slain man would claim the
corpse.

Supreme Court
EUadeS Hearing
Stephenson Case

Three Indiana supreme court
judges succeeded in talking the at
torney-generals office out of an at
tempt to bring the D. c. Stephenson
coram nobis proceedings, pending in
Hamilton circuit court, at Mobiles
vile, into the high court for a writ
of prohibition.
So Attorney General James M
Ogden today prepared to fight the
case in the lower court by filing
a motion to dismiss Friday.
v. Ed Funk, deputy attorney
general, took long petition for a
writ Of prohibition into the supreme
court clerks office late Wednesday.
He marked it Filled" and took it up
to the court. Customary procedure
is for a. single judge of the high
court to issue temporary restrain
ing order and the case is set for
hearing on a permanent writ of pro-
hibition, the defendent to appear and
show cause, if any, why it should
not be issued.
But Funk found three judges on
duty Wednesday afternoon. They
were Chief Justice David A. Myers
and Judges Julius G. Travis and
William P. Treanor.
Petition Withdrawn
Funk conferred with them for
two hours. He then returned to
Ogden's Office and the petition for
writ of prohibition was withdrawn.
Acting on high court advice, Ogden
then decided to proceed in the
Hamilton circuit court.
1t was pointed out that if the
high court objected to handling the
matter at the start it was rather
useless to proceed there.
The request for writ of prohibit
ton was based on the grounds that
Judge Fred E. Hines of the Hamil-
ton court lacks jurisdiction and
jurisdiction would lie only with Will
M. Sparks, former Judge at Rush
vile, but now on the federal ap-
peals bench in Chicago.
New Evidence Cited
Judge Sparks presided at the Ste
phenson murder trial, when the
one-time Ku-Klux Khan chief was
sentenced to the Indiana state
prison for life for the death of Miss
Madge Oberholtzer of Indianapolis.
The coram nobis is sought by
Stephenson attorneys to introduce
new evidence, said to have been
discovered since the conviction.
Similar proceeding was refused by
the supreme court, where the muir
der appeal has been pending since
1926.

U. s. TIRED OF
KEEPING guard
IN NICARAGUA
About Ready to Liquidate
Its Responsibilities and
Get Out.
LIVES PROTECTION ONLY
StimSon Tells Marines to
Aid American Citizens
and Do No More.
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Recent
fighting. in Nicaragua has brought
forth strong indications that the
administration is weary of its five
year vigil there, and wants to Iqui-
date its responsibilities at the ear
lest possible time.
If conditions thwart that purpose,
then, at least the administration
hopes to avoid any move which
might involve the United States
more deeply.
These views, observers believe,
motivated the state departments
refusal to use marines at Puerto
Cabezas to protect property Of the
Standard Fruit and Steamship
Company.
State Secretary Henry L. Slim
son instructed the marines to safe
guard life in Puerto Cabezas while
the native guardia Macdonald was
absent-and nothing more.
No General Campaign
The administration, it can be
stated on the highest authority,
does not propose to enter a general
campaign to protect American
property throughout Nicaragua.
The secretary believes that an
American company, entering for
eign nation, does so with the fore
knowledge that it is amenable to
that nations laws, and subject to
the risk of internal disorders.
Barring highly sensational and
unforeseen developments, it may be
stated the administration will not,
in the future, use marine forces to
protect United States property in
Nicaragua.
This new attitude of the admins
tration, in the opinion of observ-
erS here, marks a clear-cut change
from the Coolidge policy.
Coolidge for Protection
Mr.. Hoover's predecessor, in ex-
planning why marines we're being
sent to Nicaragua, said American
property there must be protected.
So eager Is the Hoover admins
tration to clear up the Nicaraguan
imbroglio, which it inherited from
the Coolidge regime, that consider
able pressure was brought to bear
on President Moncada of Nicaragua
recently to have him increase the
guardia Macdonald so marines could
be withdrawn.
Subsequently, Stinson announced
all but 500 marines would be taken
out this June.
Whether the recent earthquake
necessitating the spending of money
for reconstruction which would
have been applied to the guardia
Northumberland The revival of in
surgent warfare will permit this
step is matter of doubt.
