around her waist a long thin
knife and unscrewed the han
die, which was hollow. Here
was a crowquill pen as thin as
a hairpin, and a tiny phial full
of colorleSs liquid and a few
sheets Of jewelers. tissue.
No writing appeared as her
pen flew, tracing invisible char

dimensions. She detailed the
events of the day, the numbers
and conditions of Fitz Lees

their strength, their position.
Detailed Report
She reported the arrival Of
Stuart and Pelham on court
martial duty. She wrote that
Antonia Ford has not yet at
tempted to communicate with
any rebel spy inside the Union
lines, but that she might try to
do so now, because Captain
Gailliard had arrived in Cul-
peper.
No more cavalry had come,
she reported, and only Fitz
Lees brigade occupied Culpeper;
and she assured Colonel Sharpe
that her news was reliable.
When she finished she re-
placed pen, phial and tissue in
her dagger's hilt and slipped
the blade into its velvet sheath
once more. The sheet Of tissue

Earnest Conversation
There still remained patches
Of soft snow on the northern

On the veranda steps, in the

young girls and junior officers
in faded gray gossiped and
laughed. She could see cavalry

POLICE SLAY 3.
IN TRAP FOR
D|LL|NGER

CHICAGO, Dec. % G.N.S0.
Three gunmen shot dead in a gun
battle with raiding police seek
ing the John Dillinger gang of
escaped Indiana convicts today
were identified as two fugitive
bank robbery suspects and a pa
rolled Michigan penitentiary con-
vict.
Twenty picked police marks
men, members of the squad Of so
organized to capture or kill the
Indiana desperadoes, laid a per-
feet trap at the Farwell Avenue
apartment hideaway where the
convicts we're believed to have
sought refuge.
The three gunner chose to
fight it out rather than surren-
der and were killed during the
rapid exchange of pistol and ma
chine gun fire.
From fingerprint records police
identified the slain men as Louis
Katzwitz, %, alias Frank Lewis:
Charles Tilden. alias Tattlebaum,
80, and Sam Ginsburg, 33, alias
Harry Marks.
Katzwitz and Tilden escaped
June Is. 1882, from the La Sale
county Jail at Ottawa, ILL.,, where
they were being held for the
$4,000 robbery of the Union Ma
tional Bank in Streator.
Braving a hail Of lead from
the three hoodlums. the police
squads, led by Supervising Capt.
John Siege, stormed the apart
ment without single casualty.
Still of the opinion that the
gunner were allies of the Dillin-
ger gang that has staged rob-
berries and killings in four States
since their escape September 26,
Siege and his special detail
combed the apartment for clues
that might reveal the convicts'
headquarters here.

Sweeney picked dreamily on his
banjo in sentimental accom-.
panimehnt to the inevitable
"Lorena," sung in low voice
by a girl from Charleston. On
a wrought-iron settee Antonia
Ford sat with Jeb Stuart in
low-voiced conversation. She
held a cluster of pale yellow
crocuses in her hand.
Gail Loveless fingered a little
while to listen to and join with
the gossipers on the veranda
steps. She did not see Jack
Gailliard there nor was John
Pelham visible. Miss Shackle-
ford, also, was missing. The
Charleston girl and Joe Sweeney
had taken up "Ashby."
Dream, oh dream OF laurelS
won
On Virginia's battlefields.
Of the work forever done,
Of the sacred truth revealed!
Still we stand here proud and
free
Slaves and bondment but for
thee!
Ashby's men shall ever be
Our defense and shield"
But Turner Ashby and his
white battle horse were dead,
and now the blue-eyed. golden
bearded Stuart led Ashby'S men.
There he sat over yonder whis-
pering secrets into a little, ivory
car. And Operator 13 could only
look at him across the croquet
grounds and wonder what he
was whispering to Antonio
Ford.
And wonder, unquietly, where
Captain Gailliard had gone and
what he might be doing. And
might venture to saunter toward
the lockwood garden, and, from
there, slip away into the oak
wood and follow a winding path
along a stream, until she ar
rived at her occult destination.
AS Gail LoveleSs, strolling at
hazard, skirted the ancient
hedge of box she caught a
glimpse. Of two in the deserted
garden. And she saw John Pei
ham, his boys face shining like
a young and golden angels, kiss
ing Elizabeth S h a ckleford'S
white hands.
Thank God," she thought to
herself, John Pelham won't be
here when Averell comes a-gal-
loping."
She stole onward, walking on
the grass to avoid the dry
leaves on the path lest their
cracking disturb this gentle
child and her young god in the
springtime of the year and of
first love. Beyond the garden
there was a grassy pond fed
by a stream which ran through
the oak wood, and which she
had meant to follow to the
end of her intended quest.

Perhaps it was the aftermath

She watched the shadow Of

that she had braved them. She
thought of Jack Gaillard's eyes

When considering that each de-

it had roared six times, Lucky
Cavanaugh touched the switch
and the room was light again.
Kruger's face had the look Of
green mud. The revolver drop

cry Sprang from his throat.
Everything before him was a

screamed.
Before Cavanaugh could lay
hands on him, the man made a
dart, whirled and snatched open
the door leading into the room
where three men dressed as
ushers were Stuffing currency
into canvas bags. One of them
made a swift movement with
his right hand-a hand that
knew how to handle an auto

weapon and pointed straight at
the breast of Karl Kruger. With
a slow, painful movement, Kru-
