CHAPTER 80

RElD returned to his room and
closed the door softly. He saw
that a pair of pajamas had been
laid out on the bed, and a brush
and comb lay on the dressing table
The Colonel had taken things very
much for granted.
When he had followed the Col
onel from the dining room through
the hall he had picked up his rain
coat, in the pockets of which were
his cigaret case and electric torch
without which he never went out.
He had no intention Of leaving it
downstairs for the servants to ex-
anime. Now he realized how vital
ly important that small action of
his had been. He smiled to him
self as he patted very secret
pocket in the lining Of the coat,
from which he produced a neat
leather case containing complete
set of hardened steel tools that
fitted into a wooden handle; lust
such set as man might use for
odd jobs about the house, but spe-
cially made for him and, in his ex-
pert hands, a wor ,lerful burgling
outfit.
There was no key in the lock
Of the bedroom door, and Reid
thought he would take one look
outside first, and turned the han
die quietly. The thing revolved in
his hands, but the door did not
open.
Cunning dogs" he muttered.
BY some simple device the
mechanism Of the lock had been
tempered with, and the stout door
shut as securely as though locked.
1t gave him food for reflection.
An Indian servant, probably
armed, was prowling about down.
stairs; the bloodhounds were loose
in the grounds; and the windows,
as he soon discovered, fastened
with shutters which were pad
locked. He was a prisoner in the
place right enough, but was that
all?
These elaborate preparations
indicated something more than a
method Of trapping him. Suppose
this room had been designed and
prepared for another?' The Col
onel had only asked him to dinner
that day, and surely this room
spoke of careful preparation. He
would not let his mind dwell on
that, but proceeded to the bath
room.
Reid opened his toolcase and
laid it on the Window-sill. He had
chosen the bathroom window and
had shut the door, that would give
him double warning, for there
was no service entrance to the
bathroom, which had evidently
been an old fashioned dressing
room before baths had become
fashionable.
With practiced skill he soon
bored hole in the shutter. He
went to work quietly and method
ically, and in less than half an
hour had detached the whole shut
ter, leaving the bar in place. A
rush of air came in and the rain
pelted on him as he laid the shut
ter gently on the floor.
He went back for his raincoat
and listened at the door Of the
bedroom, but no sound came from
the silent house save the creaking
Of old rafters with the force of the
gale. Then the stern reality Of his

SW I'M MING
 DIVE EVENTS
 ARE POPULAR
Over Fifty Entrants to Take Part Tn Contest To-
 morrow P. M.

Swimmers and divers galore are limbering up in test swims and dives at the Government Dock this afternoon, preparing for the big Fourth of July swimming cham pionship tomorrow afternoon.
 Chuck Dominy, prominent Pa cific Coast diving artist, who is handling the events from 1:30 to 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, is eliminating and selecting the en- tries into the various divisions, for the best competition.
 The stunt, the first Gastineau Channel Swimming Championship, sponsored by the Checker Cab Com pany, through the cooperation of the American Legion and The Daily Alaska Empire, has attracted an amazing interest, with over 50 en- tries reported. For town without any swimming facilities to speak of, Dominy said the response is really commendable and shows the vital necessity of swimming pool or tank in the future.
 Ernie Smith, former intercolleg fate swimming champion, and we'll known locally, will assist Dominy in refereeing the events. Three judges will be at the Government float, with timers, and races will be between stationed barges and the float, through regulation corked rope lanes. Gold, silver and bronze medals, announced as prizes by the committee, could not be ob-. tained on short notice, and cash awards have been substituted.
 The diving board, now in place, was built by the Juneau Lumber Mills, and dressing room facilities for contestants have been arranged through the courtesy of D. B. Femmer.

Four Pap Hurlers Plastered by Islanders Dur
 ing Contest

Douglas plaStered a quartette of Pap pitchers to count eleven mark CTS to the Moose four last evening and snarl the second half Gastin- eau Channel Baseball League race up worse than seventeen eelS in a bucket of pretzels. Three teams, the Moose, Elks and Douglas are now tied for the top spot with a pair of wins and one licking apiece
 Pete Rogers started on the hill for the Black Sox, despite some warn ing twinges in his salary flipper, but was forced to change places with shortstop Earl Forsythe in the second inning after two errors and Erskine's two-bagger in the first had let in two Island markers and he had issued two walks and a triple to Livie that chalked up two more in the second with none out. Forsythe went on the rubber with the score tied at four all, as three singles, Andrews throw to the wrong base and Grummetts double had put four runs across for the Pape in the opening frame. Forsythe allowed two singles, and a scratch triple to Mcdonald to score three Island runs and put the defeat on his shoulders before he could retire the side
 Morgan Appears
 Jim Morgan took the mound to make his first appearance in Ju- neau baseball at the start of the third, while Forsythe went back to shortstop to replace Rogers. Morgan did right nicely for three innings a snappy double killing by the Moose infield in the fourth doing away with the Islanders to get on the bases in those chukkers. An error a sacrifice and two walks filled the bases in the sixth with but one away, and Clancy Converse was call ed in from right field to relieve Morgan who was tiring, not having played recently. Clancy famed Jen- sen, the next batter, but walked Erskine to force in one run and Andrews doubled to drive in three more for the final scores of the game.
 Jensen Does Good Work
 After a bad start in the first in ming, Jensen went on to pitch a nice game of ball, with the help of some fine support, shut out the Moose the rest of the route to hang up his third victory of the season and of his career in the local leagues Jensen also continued his great hitting streak with two safeties in four trips, but Erskine with two out of three, was the high hitter of the day. Fritz Schmitz was top swatter for the Paps with two for four.
 NeiD Players
 Two other players made their de- but last night. Bob Williams took Red Frodle's place as catcher for Douglas and handled the job in fine fashion. Joe Werner was at third for the Moose but did not do so well, making two costly pebbles
 Douglas, glorifying in the name of lucky ball team" brought a new mascot to the field for last evenings game. A three-foot poll ished hardwood horseshoe which they displayed as totem in front os their dugout and which their hit ters fondly caressed before traipsing to the plate.

its final phase. but the big kick CT
the first annual golf event at the
club was the showing made By Jack
Nichols, member of Congress from
Oklahoma. Representative Nichols
never had played in big golf tour
nament before but, unawed by the
situation, he proceeded yesterday to
win a brace of matches in the second
fight and today found himself in the
semi-hnals, for which he will take
plenty of joshing. whether he wins cr7
not, from J. E. (Pop) Hutchison.
Nichols plays with Hutchinson every
week end and it isn't much of a golf
match. The boys play fun golf and
don't pay much attention to their
scores. The strange part of it is that
Nichols shot an 80 yesterday, which
would have given Representative Mon

predicted point scoring were Dart

none of them conceded more than
an outside chance to win.
Although Wood. in the discus throw,
was the only Cornell performer ex-
pected to win his event, wide scat
tering among the second. third,
fourth and fifth places in the other
competitions was counted upon to ag-
gregate between 80 and 35 points.
Harvard's power in points, with
Green in top shape, was expected to
run between IS and 40. Should he
compete only in the broad Jump, the
Crimson could not hope for more
than 80 points.
Lawrence Scanlon, Holy Cross

figured to win two events-the 100
