THE GATE CITY JOURNAL An Adventure of the Scarlet Pimpernel ZI the By BARONESS ORCZY Copyright Barones« Orosjr WNU Service CHAPTER V — Continued — 9 — He spoke a great many more equally eloquent words, for be had the gift of speech, had this drover from Alneourt. A rough fellow, It Is true, but one with his heart In the right place, and born In the district, to o ; anyone could tell that by the contemptuous wuy with which he spoke of any stranger born outside this corner o f Seine et Oise. He was listened to with grent atten tlon, was the driver. And hts words presently carried all the more weight because something very strange came to light. It appeared that the dill gence from Molsson with prisoners and escort had mode a halt of several hours In Mantes. The party only made a fresh start In the late afternoon. That was strange enough, In all con science! What did It mean hut thut Lauzet was courting the darkness for his schemes? But there was some thing more mysterious still. While the diligence stood before the posting Inn ready to start, horses pawing and champing, the driver on his box, whip In hand, the four troopers who were on guard to right and left of the vehicle would not allow anyone to come within measurable distance of I t Be It noted that nil the blinds of the coach were drawn so that It was Impossible to get a peep at the In side. But two young men, strangers to the neighborhood, who had since come forward, eager to tell their story, more venturesome than others, had crept under the horses’ bellies and tried to peer Into- the Interior of the coach. They were almost Immediately driven away with blows and curses by the troopers, but not before they had vnguely perceived thnt there were more than just the prisoners Inside the diligence. The prisoners were all huddled up In the farthest corner o f the vehicle, but there were others. The young men who had had a peep, despite the blows from the troopers, had seen three or four men at least. They might have been ordinary travelers who had picked up the diligence at Mantes. But In thnt cnse, why nil this secrecy? Why the drawn blinds, the start In the late afternoon so that the shades of evening would actually be drawing In when the diligence and Its escort plowed Its way through the muddy road of the forest between Mezlcres and Epone? Why a feeble escort o f only four men when of late as many as eight or ten picked troop ers o f the national guard bad ridden beside the diligence? Indeed, the drover from Alneourt wns right Indubitably right Citizen Lauzet and his friend from Paris had entered Into n plot, a dastardly, cow ardly plot, to client the citizens of Molsson o f their Just share In the ca p ture of the Scarlet Pimpernel. There was no doubt thnt the Scnrlet I’ lm pevnel wns alreudy captured, and that Lnuzet wns having him conveyed In secret to Paris. The escort might ap pear feeble, but there were men In side the diligence who held the Eng llsh spy, bound hnnd and foot, be tween them with a cocked pistol at his head. Why I The two young strnn gers who hnd succeeded In getting a peep at the Inside of the diligence quite thought, from the description every one had of him, thnt one of the men whom they glimpsed wns In very truth the Scarlet Pimpernel. "H e wns so tall,” they said, “ so tall thnt he had to sit almost bent double, otherwise tils lipnd would hnve knocked against the roof of the conch 1” They were almost prepared to swear also that this tall man's hands were tied together wltb ropes. After that, as the driver from Ain court very properly said, any man would he a fool who doubted Lauzet's treachery and cupidity. II was re solved to proceed Immediately In his wake, to seize him wherever he might be, him and any man who hnd helped hlin In his treachery. Aye, If be had nn army to protect him, he would find thnt the men o f Molsson and Mantes were not to be flouted and cheated with Impunity. The drover from Ain court was bribed to take the pnrty In his cart as far as Mezleres He d o murred a little at first; seemed to turn crusty and wns Impervious to threats Eventually he wns offered one hun rired llvres out of every man's share If the English spy wns captured nnd one llvre If he wns n ot "Eh hlen I” he said at Inst In token o f consent, and they all scrambled hack Into the cart. CHAPTER VI Surprise Captain Rnffet hnd given the order to dismount, and the troopers sat by tbe roadside under the trees, making a pretense to rest Each man, how over, had hts saber ready to Ids hnnd, and each had seen to the priming of his pistol, while the captain ostensibly busied himself with examining the fetlock o f the mare who hnd gone lame. The wind had gone down nnd the torrential rain hnd censed, but there wns a thin mtst-llke drizzle that soaked through the men's clothing and chilled them to the bone. The tension had become acuta With nerves on edge the men, those who were In the open as well as those who w e re c >ped up Inside the diligence, could do otb- Ing hut wait while the time dragged on and the shades o f evening drew In around them. The silence In the woods was full of sounds; of the cracking of twigs, the fall o f rain-laden leaves, the scrunch ing o f earth under tiny, furtive feet scurrying away through the under growth. Tbe grest, awkward diligence loomed out o f the mist like some gigantic, spectral erection, peopled by forms that breathed and lived and hardly emitted a sound. Only very oc casionally from the Interior there came the painful moan, quickly sup pressed, from the poor lnvalltts parched throat And all at once something more tangible, a patter o f fe e t a call, a voice half drowned In the gathering m ist It came way down the road, from the direction o f Mezleres. The men sat up, alert, quivering with ex citement, their eyes straining to pierce the thicket since the sharp bend In the road hid the oncomers from view. The order was to feign Inattention, to wait for the attack, lest the wily enemy scenting a trap scampered away to safety. And the men waited, very much like greyhounds held In lensh, quivering wltb eagerness, their bot, moist hands grasping saber and pistol, the while Captain Ruffet, as keenly alert as they, carried on a MACDONALD TO COME Red Offen»ive Against Har bin 1« Threatened.

All-Metal Blimp Successful Detroit, Mich.—The first all-metal dirigible, the ZMC-2, built for the United States navy, flew successfully here in Its first test London.—Manchurian railways arc crowded with troop trains carrying thousands o f Chinese soldiers to the front. Dispatches from many unoltl- clal sources told of horde, activities by Soviet patrols and of a threatened general offensive against Harbin, cen ter o f the Chinese Eastern railway sys tem, which Is the subject o f the pres ent dispute. Harbin, with the railroad running southeast to Vladivostok and also northwest through Manchoull to Si beria, Is exposed on the northeast to possible gunboat attacks on the Sun gari river. A conference of generals, called by Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang at Muk den, decided to dispatch several addl- •tlonnl brigades to the northern fronts and handed over to Gen. Chang Tso- hslang, the “ strong man” of Man- chura, the defense of the Harbin area. So gravely did the conference view the crisis It was decided to withhold 20 per cent o f the salaries of nil Man churian oificfftls to purchase war ma terials. In addition to a division of troops with a machine gun corps and several batteries of artillery sent to Uurkln, 50,000 soldiers from Fengtlen started for the western border post of Mnnchoull. Reports coming by way o f Japan were thnt a considerable bod y.of Rus sians had already occupied the Chi nese town o f Mlshnn and were pene trating farther northwestward of Lake Hanka. Harbin.— As a result o f reports of alleged mistreatment of Soviet pris oners by Chinese authorities here and elsewhere along the Chinese Eastern railway, the German consul, Gen. George Stobhe, who Is handling Soviet diplomatic affairs, completed nn Inves tigation o f the status of prisoners In the Harbin area. Mr. Stobbe said that the Investigation disclosed thut 333 prisoners are being held and are con fined In three separate places. The first group, termed political o f fenders, are alleged members of the third Internationale nnd were arrested May 27, during the consular raid. They number 39, including 4 women. They are being held awaiting trial. Due to the long delay, the prisoners staged a hunger strike, which ended upon promise o f Immediate trial Mr. Stob be said this group was held in a local Jail, and are provided with sufficient food and bedding. The second group, comprising 240 persons, among them a few women, are mostly Soviet workers employed by the Chinese Eastern railway. They ure charged with sabotuge, refusal to work nnd attempting to block rnilwuy service. The third group, totalling 59, are held prisoners by the general staff of the Chinese railway guards and it is alleged they were confined for three days in a small home. The Chinese military allege that these prisoners are the most dangerous but promised they would receive better treatment. Canada’s Wheat Problem Proves Serious Matter Montrenl, Jue.—The Canadian wheat situation Is beginning to reach serious proportions. Operators estimate that Montreal storage space has 12,020,123 bushels of its 15,000,000 capacity in use, 30 lake boats are waiting to unload, or ders for only 315,070 bushels are on hand, and hundreds of Canudinn sail ors In Canadian Inland waterways are out of employment. The tleup wns considered especially serious due to the fact that harvest ing wns In progress, and beenuse o f the carrying lines being greatly a f fected. Canada Steamship Lines, Ltd., re ported 30 boats laid up for lack of enrgoes at Fort Williams, Stnma, Col- Ungwood, Midland and Kingston. It wns estimated thnt the tleup o f this line alone resulted In the unemploy ment o f nearly 000 sailors. Other lines reported lesser tteups, nil announcing that they would rather lay their bouts off than operate at a loss. Spokane-N. Y. Non-Stop Roundtrip Flight, First Felts Field, Spokane, Wash.— Nick Mnmer nnd Art Walker, the first flyers to complete a round trip, nonstop flight across the continent, safely landed the Spokane Sun God at this deld. The two men had been In the air for five full days, during which they traversed 7,200 miles, the greatest lineal mile dlstnnce ever completed. The Sun God started from Spoknne with elaborate ceremonies. It flew to San Francisco where two refuelings were made. Then it turned eastward, flying over Cheyenne, North I'lntte, Neb., nnd the Middle West to New York. ;e W isconsin U.

It la unique among these national domains. In that It la the first having contact with the sea. It Is, tn fact, surrounded by the sea and Its arms, on territory near which a daring French explorer ptomed his feet long before the Mayflower pulled up at Plymouth. I t as has been said, the coast of Maine Is "An eloquent chap ter In the continent's ancient history," then, Lafayette National park Is "One o f the most dramatic paragraphs In the chapter." Tbe park Is located on Mount Des ert Island, which Is celebrated for Its picturesque beauty, the largest Island In the archipelago east o f Penobscott bay and the largest rock-hullt Island on our Atlantic seaboard. It Is Indeed a superb grouping of natural topo graphic elements and features—moun tains. cradling half-hidden lakes, hills and plains, cliffs and crags, bold and rocky coast line, majestic woodlands made ap of various members of the tree tribe, underbrush "of strange va rieties, beautifully carpeted wltb a confusion of many-hued wild flowers, mottled by sunshine and shadow, all encompassed by blue-green salt water and overhung by a sky o f shifting col ors. “ Of Its own and In Its own way,” says the guide book, Lafayette Na tional park Is “ an American master piece.” • • • P yan S hjn E I The American Parthenon HE Parthenon was "The crown of the glory that was Greece." This temple which bordered on the Acropo lis at Athens, was dedicated to Pallas Athena, the goddess o f wisdom, more than 400 years B. 0., and was used throughent the centuries of Its exist ence as a temple o f worship. The pagans occupied it for about one thou sand years and the Christian^ for about another ten centuries. The Christians were routed by the Turks and the ancient structure became i mosque. In 1687 the Turks were over thrown by,the Venetians and the build ing was ruined. In Centennial park at Nashville, Tenn., on the banks o f the Cumber land, stands a faithful reproduction, both as to form as well as to size, o f that masterpiece o f Greek architec ture. First constructed as an attrac tion o f the Tennessee centennial ex position I d 1897, It was later rebuilt as an unusual and permanent attrac tion o f the Tennessee capital. The charm o f this beautiful building springs from the refinement of Its out line and the well-balanced effect of Its proportions, these characteristics blend ing In a dignity and grace, which have made It famous as the most perfectly proportioned structure the Greeks ever built. It Is 101 feet wide, 228 feet long, 65 feet high nnd Is encircled by a row o f 50 giant, fluted columns, each 34 feet high and 6% feet through at the base, which are easily the most attention-attracting feature o f the en tire ensemble. A frieze containing 92 panels In sculptured relief depicts some o f the lending mythological tales which are connected with ancient Greek history. • • » T SH OE Shark’s Confidence in Pilot Fish Coat Life A pilot fish failed miserably In Its duty and came to grief the other morning, when according to the fisher men, It piloted a 300-pound shark Into the seine on the fishing schooner Al- den, off South Shoal lightship, Nan tucket shoals. Pilot fish and shark, to gether with a catch o f mackerel, were hauled aboard the schooner. The shark was killed and the pilot fish was brought to the fish pier and probably sent to the museum o f comparative zoology at Harvard. Fishermen at the pier said that they could not remember ever having heard o f such a catch being brought In here, and expressed belief that the shark and the pilot were following the mack erel from southern waters. The speci men brought In Is eighteen Inches long, weighs about two pounds and is o f an amber color, transversely banded with darker stripes. The pilot fish Is so named because It Is often seen swim ming with a shark, and sailors are of the belief that It Is the shark’s con stant companion.— Boston Transcript.

It Is located In Eagle county, Colorado, near the town of Mlnturn. Its hoary head rises to an elevatlou of 13,978 feet or considerably more thnn two and one-half miles above the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific. On this mountain nature carved a deep ravine gome 2,690 feet long run nlng up and down Its side, fashioned a transverse ridge gome 800 feet long across and above the center of this ravine and thus produced a mighty and holy cross from which the rnoun tain 'akes Its Dame. By virtue of its altitude this ridge Is almost always covered wltb snow, high winds cause the snow to drift Into tbe ravine and thus a great, white cross appears on the mountain side and looks out nnd down upon the world. This Inspiring marvel has been referred to as “ A Nation's Guiding E m blem 'of Faith.” Uucle Sam, through his forest serv ice, now has set aside a tract of land of some 350 acres which Includes this mountain and Is known as Holy Cross National forest, as a shrtne for the use o f his people for devotional, edu cational ami recreational purposes, and It has come to pass that an annual, uon-denominational pilgrimage can be made to the top o f Notch mountain, directly opposite this great nature- made cross, by all who desire to "lift up mine eye«” In this unusual and glorious sp o t I®, lilt.
