Bad It was there he received his edu

work at 14.
. ,The story that he is a Harvard man
doubtless owes its origin to the fne
that Kltlnge, whose real name is
William Dalton, belonged to the Uon

many of the members of which were
Harvard men. The cadets were lit
the habit of giving excellent amateur
theatricals yearly, and it was In one
of these, namely "Miss Simplicity,"
that Eltingo gained his first notor
iety. ', During tho filming of the motion
picture, "The Countess Charming,"
Eltlnge and his company were the
most envied people at the Los An

lieat they were sent nearly every
day to the beach to film bathing

EIGHTH EPISODE
The Knotted Cord.
In the office of tho chief of police,
Helen, with Melrose, Webb and Hoy
Wilson, Impatiently nwnited newa con
cerning touring car No. 52479. Instead
of news, u call eume from the depot
reporting that a patrol officer had been
knocked on the head nnd left sense
less on the nlntform. From the bag
gageman the chief got a description of
tho officer's assailants nnd what was
of tho nioro importance. 'learned that
the two men bud shipped n trunk on
No. 9 to Pedro.
"Lady Melrose may be In that
trunk," cxclultned Helen, listening ea
gerly. Molroso snorted Incredulously: "Im
possible !" ,
"No," persisted nelen lmpetnonsly.
"With that gang nothing Is Impossible."
She turned quickly to her companions:
"We can bent Number Nine's time to
Pedro. Cornel"
Webb started for the door. Wilson
nnd Helen wore close behind and Mel
rose, half-duzed at the .suddenness of
the move, followed. They tumbled Into
n police cor, and with a sergeant- at i
the wheel started nt emergency speed
for tho harbor terminal.
The highway parallels tho rnllrond
track to Pedro, nnd after catching
sight of the train they soon overhauled
It. Helen, always the wit and resource
of the party, now gave her orders to
the driver: "Bent the train to the Bur
nett bridge the overhead crossing.
I'll drop from It to the top of the trnln
nnd If Lady. Melrose Is In Unit trunk,
I'll take her pluce."
The startling proposal shook even ,
Webb's courage I he cauttht his breath,
Wilson nnd Melrose declared her In
sane, but Helen wus obdurate and she
curried her point. The sergeant urged
the police cur madly ahead. Once at
the bridge, Helen, clinging to the edge.
swung hand over hand nbove No. D'8
track. As the trnln shot under her,
sho dropped to the bnggngc-car roof.
The messenger within heard the
heavy fall. Iiellevlng he faced a hold
up, he slummed all doors shut and made
ready for defense. But Helen, lowering
herself from the top of tho car, showed
him, through the window, her star. Ho
promptly opened the door, and, swing
ing inside, sho explained. But when
she helped him open the truck, her
fenrs were realized: Lady Melrose lay
senseless within it.
With the aid of the messenger, Helen
lifted her gently out, and then, to the
nmuzement of the trainman, told him
she herself would take the place of the
uncousclous woman directing him
how to closo the trunk and leave It to
be claimed.
Her companions in tho police ma
chine, by speeding furiously, had al
ready beuten the train Into Pedro
the lutentlon being to let tho Itulders
claim their trunk und follow them to
their headquarters thnt all might be
taken together.
When the train pulled In, Marshall
and Masters claimed their trunk, and
putting It Into their machine, started
uway, Helen's couipauious following.
Put careful as Webb was, Masters
saw the pursuers. "Webb's behlud us,"
lie criwl to Marshall.
Marshall acted promptly. "Get her
out of the trunk." lie shouted us the
car reeled with the breakneck speed.
"Throw It overboard aud we'll beat it
for Ling Wo's."
Helen, listening, heard tho words.
Ripping n slrlp of cord from the truuk
lining, she rapidly tied Into it by means
f knots, the dots and dashes of a
Morso message. Tho ubductors wero
already oiieulng the trunk. Resisting
an impulse to use her pistol, sho
felgued unconsciousness In order to go
through to the end and enpturo all
concerned. The next moment she was
lifted from her hiding place und tho
trunk was thrown olT. Tho machine
was now within sight of the ferry slip;
a boat was about to start ucross the
bay. With Helen between them, the
two men huMeni'd nhuurd just as
Webb's car reached the discarded
trunk on tho roadway. Unluckily,
Webb stopped to open the trunk. Then,
finding It empty, ho dushed for the
ferry, but only to see the boat half
way across Uie bay.
Kxplnlning to the curious that they
were taking n sick woman to the bos.
pltnl, Masters nnd Murshall, without
Interference, got Helen to Ling Woo's.
True to his word, tho latter paid tho
two men the money promised, but as
her captors started to go, Helen cov
ered them with her revolver.
She was now, however, in perilous

In bund, left her Ling Woo's prisoner.
Webb, with his men, had gvne back
to the trunk. It was Roy who, picking
up the cord that lny In the trunk bottom
and running It Idly through bis huuds,
realized suddenly that the liber bore n
message. To decipher this was the
work of a moment and he read Helen's
words aloud : "At Line Woo's place."
"Wo can got Into Ling Woo's place
through the company warehouse," ho
said hurriedly. "But wo must get
there quick !"

boat, and once across the bay they
run through the railroad warehouse,

Helen.
Murshall and Masters went straight
to a wharf saloon, where Burke wus
to telephone thera for news.
At Mountain Springs, Desmond had
been advised of the selection of Boy
Wilson ns president of the line. When
ho showed Burke the wire the InttPr
shook his hend. "I'm ufruld that boy
won't stand for any crookedness," ho
muttered.
"He'll hove to go east, anyway," ob
served Desmond. "So he won't bother
us."
Burke now told Desmond of Mar
shall und Masters' latest exploit But,
deeply Interested in Helen herself,
Desmond wus enraged at her abduc
tion. Burke, taken completely aback,
, .listened In humiliation to his outburst
. of wrath. "I won't have women mixed
up in this work," declared the 'angry
Easterner. '
"Apostle of morality, oh?" sneered
Ilurke.
"No, I fight men," snapped Desmond
tersely. "Remember that, or you go to
the discord. I'm going to break up tho
transfer business at tho terminal," ho.
added, most unexpectedly.
"Ruin the road?" asked Burke.
"For a while," returned Desmond
bluntly. j
The Intrigue suited Burke. He ad
vised Murshall and Musters and the
two niude ready to loot a merchandise
enr on the freight ferry.
Returning with Helen from Pedro to
headquarters, Hoy Wilson received tho
news of his election. Ills friends
crowded about to congratulate. With
litem were Desmond and Burke. "When
arc you going East?" asked Desmond
of tho new executive. .
Hoy glanced townrd Helen: "The
minute we rim the Rnllrond Hufjlers to
earth and get Helen's father out of
the penltentinry."
Burke looked reproachfully nt Des
mond ; their plans were threatened, but
neither could say anything.

news of their success reached Moun
tain hpnngs next mormu.wjieu ifu
cited Englishman, in spats ana Trqcs
suit pushed past the headquarters' of

bo encountered, harangued him ex
citedly. The clerk could muke notlilbg
of what he was saying, but others
gathering managed to get a coherent
statement. "Somebody," declared tho I
Knglishmnn, "robbed my car, crossing
the ferry last night."
Burke, In tho group, suspected this
must be the looting carried out by Mar
shall's gang. He took the Irate Eng
lishman In to Desmond.
"This Is Mr. Chapman," ho begnn:
but could get no further. Chapman In
great excitement Interrupted him, and
Burke, tuklng a comedy cue, as Chap
man tried to talk him down, talked
rapidly back at the wrathful shipper.
Desmond for a time could get nothing
of what either was snylng. But when
Burke quieted down, Chapmun reiterat
ed his charge that his car had been
robbed on the ferry.
Desmond sneered nt tho statement
and C'hnpman. more furious than ever,
exploded again with wrath. Desmond
finally set him roughly down in a chair
and turned to Burke, but the moment
he took his hands off Chapman the lat
ter bounding to his feet, took the war
path again. Thinking by this time the
sceno had gone far enough, Desmond,
to placate the angry man, handed him
n cigar. Chapman dashed It to tho
floor. Desmond took him by the shoul
ders. "See here," he exclaimed sharp
ly. "Listen 1"
"I won't listen," yelled the Indignant
man.
Again Desmond was forced to push
htm Into a chair. "Keep quiet long
enough to allow mo to appoint n mnn
to Investigate your charge," he shout
ed. This somewhat subdued Chap
man's choler. But Desmond, already
upset, and forgetting thnt Hoy was now
his own superior, colled In the latter
und asked him to go. with Chapman to
Pedro to investigate the case. Hoy
mode no objection whatever. Indeed,
he welcomed the opportunity nnd his
frank, honest face made n happy Im
pression on Chapman. The two men
left talking most nmlnbly together.
Too late Desmond realized his blun
der. Ho turned to Burke. "Get word
to Miirslmll that Wilson Is on the job.
