SIXTH INSTALLMENT HELEN’S WILD RIDE Helen spied him the minute she stepped inside Rhinelander’s hut to deliver the telegram—a small, fluffy bundle of black and white, lying curled up I tightly on Rhinelander's cot, as if this i was the haven of warmth and refuge • so long sought. “Where.” demanded Helen of Rhinelander, and emphasizing each word in amazement, “did you get that dear, little dog?” “That dear, little dog," explained Rhinelander, with corresponding en> phasis, “is the last addition to my already overburdened pay roll.” “What’s his name? Who.” demanded Helen in delight, “put him on?” “He just got hold with his teeth and : hung on. He blew into camp the other day. the tiredest, orneriest, hungriestlooking cur you ever saw. Some motoring party lost him, probably.” Rhinelander reread his telegram: Rhinelander, Signal: Monthly pay roll on No. 4. H. "Say, this is news; best I’ve had this week. The pay roll is overdue three days and these Greeks and Mexicsare 1 suspicious bunch. What’s your hurry?” he asked as Helen made ready to go. "I must run,” said Helen. “I'm alone this morning.” “Don’t be in a rush; I’m going over that way myself,” returned Rhinelander, picking up his hat. “The pup will keep house a few minutes.” Leaving the hut door open, Rhinelander, accompanied by Helen, started for the station. Two good comrades, as well as dovoted friends. Helen and he laughed and joked along their way, i a Mb ’ Ml H I Thieves Took the Pay Roll. They Are on This Train!” patched from the farther end of the camp by Spike, who, disgraced, chafed, bail in hiding, awaiting some opportunity for mischief to turn up—something that would release from honest Idleness. It was to be an irony of fate that now mado of the homeless dog an instrument to serve the purpose of the restless criminal. The puppy, alone, in the tent, refreshed by his nap, invigorated by his breakfast, and impelled, Rhinelander would have said, by the devil, looked about for something to interest him. Seizing the telegram in his sharp teeth, the do ■ started to tear it to pieces. At that juncture an inquisitive squirrel, pausing before the open door, peered sharply Into the hut. To the dog, this looked like a formal challenge. He was so overcome by the impudence of it that he sprang from the table, targetting to put the telegram back where it belonged. Away he dashed, telegram in teeth, Bfter the squirrel. There was but a single spectator of this dash—the brooding Spike. As the tore r?«st Rntite the telegram

dropped from his mouth almost at tho convict’s feet, and idly picking the paper up Spike opened and read it: Rhinelander, Signal: Monthly pay roll on No. 4. : Brief though the message was. It contained enough news to arouse Spike. Casting only a glance in the dlree I tion of the fleeing dog, Spike, clutching his find, hurried toward Seagrue’s I camp and lost no time In covertly I showing him the message, without ex plaining how It had fallen Into his I hands. f’ Seagrue, reading the telegram, saw the moment he looked at Spike, what was in the convict’s mind. Seagrue studied the message. “It wouldn’t be a bad Idea to get hold of the stuff a while, anyway,” he mused. "It's behind time now, I understand; and I hear the men over there are getting restless about not getting their money. If you could hold it up on | Rhinelander a few days you might work up a strike.” “How far do you want to go with this thing?” demanded Spike, casting a vicious eye on his employer. “I don’t care how far you go,” said Seagrue, "provided you hold up that pay roll.” Spike left the camp. No more than a moment’s reflection was needed to suggest an idea to him. Returning to the station, he got a long distance telephone wire and called up I two of his friends at Oceanside — Sykes, a convict acquaintance, and a chum of Sykes, who, in various encounters with the law, had lost all of his name but "Dan.” In jailbird jargon Spike explained to Sykes, who answered the telephone, the possibilities of a haul at Signal. Dan, standing near Sykes In the room they occupied together, asked queai tlons and prompted his companion, : who tried to get from Spike —reluctant to talk much on the wire—a description of the lay of the land. Spike bluntly told them in the end to stow it and take the job or leave it, as they liked. However, the two criminals got enorgh from him to decide that a third man was indicated, and they called into their conference a crooked safe expert, known only by his nickname of “Bat, the Bat.” To him they confided their plot. Nothing loath, Bat consented to join in the en- I terprise, and following Spike's hints, ! the trio made arrangements to leave ' for Signal on the train that should i carry Rhinelander’s pay roll. When No. 4 pulled into Signal next morning three men dropped off the hind end. .They made up the criminal gang that Spike had engaged to rob Rhinelander, and, knowing the loot was expected on the train that carried them, two of the men kept the front end of the train well in view until they had watched Lyons and [ Helen take the package of money from the express messenger, and after receipting for it, walk with Rhinelander Into the station. Inside of the office Rhinelander examined the shipment of currency. “I have no safe at the camp, Lyons,” explained Rhinelander, when the agent asked him to receipt for the package. “Keep it here for me in your safe until tomorrow.” He pushed the open package of bills back through the wicket of the counter, but in doing this he accidentally overturned a bottle of ink. Helen screamed a little, and jumping aside, caught up a piece of cloth from the letter-press stand, wiped the ink off the bills as best she could and turned them over io Lyons, who took the big package within his charge and placed it carefully in the safe. Not, however, without having been observed by two of the Oceanside criminals who were loitering just then outside the office window. Turning away before they were discovered, these men—Sykes and Dan—were joined by the third member of their expedition, and the three headed for Rhinelander's camp to hunt up Spike. They encountered him on the way over to the station to look for them. A consultation was held in the woods. The four were now assured that the money had come, and they knew where it had been put. To the ' safe expert was left the details, and when these had been arranged to suit . him, the quartet scattered. That . evening they might have been seen , hovering arbund the station about the time that Helen and Lyons were closing up for the night. Indeed, the latI ter had hardly locked the station door r before Spike, watching his opportuni- , ty, signaled bls assistants to the J freighthouse window. This, without ceremony, they broke open and entering the telegraph office from the ’ freightroom, took possession of the f premises. s The man known as The Bat, tho master mind of the visiting trio, at 1 once get down in front of the safe tor

an examination, it took him only n moment to examine and tabuist-- in ' his mind the kind of safe he had to do with. In another moment ho threw back the bolts and swung tho door lopen. They took the pay roll package out lust as Lyons had placed 1c within the safe. But the easy triumph of the expert and the congratulations of his friends did not soem enough to satisfy him. To make the job artistic, ho directed his assistants to get together ■ some brown paper, and after they had taken the bills from the package, ho filled It with waste paper, rewrapped the package carefully and replaced it -»just as he had found It in tho safe. Leaving by the same way they had entered, the quartet took their way to Seagrue's camp. Seagruo was asleep, and Spike woko him and muttered they had the money. Seagruo, somewhat upset by the size of the company of thieves with which he was now tied up, kept his own counI sei. Ho listened to all that Spike had to say, and at once advised sending the three safe-blowers back to the city. This, however, it was decided, after a brief conference, would not ' do, as Spike needed somebody to help him foment a disturbs n/e next day. In the end, a compromise was effected, by which The Bat was sent to town while Sykes and Dan were kept over night to aid in stirring up Rhinelander's men. The following day had already been announced in Rhinelander’s camp as pay day. When Helen and Lyons arrived at the office in the morning for duty they found Rhinelander waiting to take the money. Lyons, very willing to be rid of his responsibility, opened the safe and unsuspectingly turned over to Rhinelander the pack- ’ age he had placed in It the afternoon before. When the constmction boss reached

I Spike Plied tlie Grumbling Labcrcrs With Liquor.

his camp, the men were lir.r d up out side his tent waiting for their pay. Passing within, Rhinelander cut cper . the package. To his consternation l._ found only brown paper instead of currency. Stunned by the revelation and breathless with amazement, he made his way, white-faced, back tA the station for an 'explanation. Rushing into the office he threw tbs doctored package down before Lyons and Helen. The two paled in turn with excitement and each of the , three looked blankly into the faces c-j the others. Lyons ran to the safe and opened It again—Rhinelander ana Helen watching. Nowhere else inutile was any money to be found. The cur rency package, apparently undisturbed, had been taken by the agent in tho first instance from precisely where he had left it and seemingly in the same condition in which it bad been placed in the safe. All that confronted the startled trio now was the worthless i paAage of brown paper. Rhinelander wiped his brow and turned, dejected, from the counter. He had not the heart to wire Oceanside of the calamity. The first thing necessary, in any event, was to make an effort to appease the men and, starting to his camp, he attempted to do this. The men. made uneasy by Rhineland? er’s sudden disappearance after his promise to pay, were grumbling around Wood, the foreman, who was : using his best efforts to quiet them, i Rhinelander now reappeared from the station, but empty-handed. He brought with him ths rifled package, showed i this to Wood and to the men; ex- , plained that he had been robbed and ■ told the men they would have to wait i 1 Those closest in the group that ■ crowded around him had been primed i for a disturbance by Spike and his two confederates. They sneered at. Rhinelander's statements and told him they wanted their pay. Lyons, hurrying over from the station, reported to Rhinelander that the express company and the chief special agent's office had , been notified of the robbery and de- , tectlvcs were on the way. But while . Wood and Lyons argued with some of . ' the disaffected, Spike and his com- . J panions lured others of them to a hut , on the edge of the camp limits, where a sort of blind pig was in operation. ’ ; Here Spike, spending money freely, , plied the grumbling laborers with ’ liquor and advised them to stand on their rights and refuse to work if , their money w r as not at once forthcom- ; Ihg. Rhinelander made up his mind net .

J to flodgo th? issue anti ho ass'tred such of tho Tiicn ns would listen that if they vou'<l give him a little limo be ' uc'ild replace the pay roll cn hie per ; renal credit; and that no one should I lose a cent through the accident. Tho difficulty was to got the mon to linten. Tho strike Idea spread through tho camp like an infection, and reason was for tho moment completely forgotten. Spike, perceiving tho mischief well under way and anxious to get the two city criminals out of tho way bofore tho detectives from headquarters should arrive and round up tho camp for suspects, directed Spike and Dan to "boat it” back to town on tho local passenger. At this time a sudden and unexpected complication arouse. With Spike, the party returned to the shack for a final drink, and when they left it, Sykes and Dan started for the station. But a lighted match carelessly thrown to tho ground inside the hut, falling among rubbish, had ignited it, and almost before the pair reached the station the hut was on fire. Entering the waiting room with his companion, Sykes bought tickets from Helen for the city. When with Dan he walked out on the platform, the local train had pulled in and the crew were looking at the fire in Rhinelander’s camp. Sykes and Dan boarded the train at the moment It pulled slowly out. In the office, while Helen was putting away the bill with which Sykes had paid for the tickets, her attention was arrested by a blot of ink on the edge of it. With a woman’s Intuition, she realized almost at once that the inkstained bill was one of those stolen from the express package the night before. Running out on the platform. : she told Lyons of the discovery. Helen, frantic as she saw the train pulling away with the burglars, looked around for help. Nothing seemed to

offer in any direction and she turned distractedly back to the office to wire Oceanside when her eye fell on a speeder car. With a start she turned to it, took i hold of the handles, pushed the car forward a length, found it responded to her touch, and hardly giving thought as to whether she could manage the machine, conceived, as it began to pick up speed, that possibly she could overtake the departing train. This idea, once in her head, she had onlv to jump into the seat and in another moment she was in pursuit t-f the train—then traveling through a Eone of fire from the burning camp. Catching at the inflammable mate rial with which its path was freely spread, leaping from tent to tent and hut t<j hut, licking up the canvas and j eating rapidly into the flimsy wooden structures that barred its way, engulfing machinery, wagons and equipment in its quick advance, tho fire, fanned by the north wind and its own suction, tore along like a whirlwind, with Rhinelander and his gang doing their best to check it. By the time the train had reached the vicinity of the camp, the fire had jumped the track and the flames rose on all sides as the local headed through them. Close behind the train, Helen, running the lineman’s speeder, was doing her utmost to attract the attention of the train crew. Their eyes were fixed I on the fire. Helen sped through the angry fire, and gained on the last- ' ' moving train until but a slight gap i separated the nose of her speeder ' from the rear platform. Then mount- ! ing on the footboard Os the roaring lit- | , tie motor, she sprang with all her I strength to the observation platform i of the rear car. The conductor and brakeman, looking back at that moment from the coaches to watch the fire, discovered the pursuing speeder. The two started back for the rear platform and they reached it just as Helen landed-in front of them from her jump. “What in the world?" demanded the conductor, as he looked from the excited girl to the deserted lineman’s car, now falling back in the race it had maintained with the train. “What la thunder,” he again demanded of Helen, in simple, good faith, “are you trying to do, Miss Holmes?” Helen, short ~f. breath and wild with excitement, tried to explain: “.Mr. Rhinelander,” she r-t-' 1. betwaen gasps, < “was robbed yesterday. Thieves took ' his pay roll from :w safe !<>et night. , They loft br.n .Lao ot paper ia

tne patsago. They nro both on this train!" she cried. "They have tho money. Wc must get them ci he’ll bo ruined, if ho Isn't ruined by this terrible fire. You must help me, conductor, both of you.y Followed by tho brakeman, tho two v/alkcd forward. It was rather a long train. Tho conductor could not bo hurried, and tho search went all too slowly for Helen, who feared what did, in fact, presently occur. Sykes and Dan, uneasy In the fear of special agents oo their trail, were on tho alert They ca( near the front door of tho smoker, and as Helen and the conductor began at tho rear end of the car to look over the passengers, Sykes, espying Helen, quietly slid through the front doorleft open to let the smoke out—to the platform, Dan following. They sat down on the steps looking for a good place to jump off. While the conductor was walking forward, with Sykes casting furtive glances at him through the front window, the train drew neat the San Pablo river. "I’m off here,’ growled Sykes to his confederate briefly. Dan protested; a jump was not to his taste, but Sykes, the big fellow did not hesitate. The train was cross ing the San Pablo. Sykes leaped from the step into the river, Dan reluctautlj following suit. Helen, through an open window oi the smoker, saw Sykes’ jump. She caught the conductor's arm and beggec him to stop the train. He pulled the cord and, with the conductor and brakeman after her, Helen ran to the front platform. The train slowed. Ir the river, Sykes and Dan were swim ming. Helen made ready to drop off The conductor and brakeman tried tc dissuade her; they could not. “You’ll have to go alone, I can’l leave this train,” shouted the cor-duo tor to her. Helen only waved her hand as sh« dropped to the ground. Luckily, she had not been seen bj the men she was after, but a furthei obstacle threatened. The convicts had swum to the nearest bank and were now across the river from Helen. A passing boat was awaiting the draw, and the moment the train passed the lackknife had been started up by the bridge tender. Helen was running tc get to the other side before it was too late. Sykes and Dan, ashore, were hurrying away, and the ponderous Jackknife was rising under Helen’s fleeing feet. The draw span, already high in the air, made a widening gap between her and the abutment, but Helen, running 1 to the rising end jumped from it recklessly to the abutment below. She landed, bruised, on the track, but she picked herself up and sped on after the fugitives. The river bridge is at no great distance from Oceanside, but Helen’s breath was pretty well exhausted, before Sykes and Dan reached a suburban street car and boarded it. £o close was she after them that she gained one platform just as the two men stepped up cn the other. Concealing herself behind a seat, Helen hid in terror, but with all their astuteness the criminals failed to discover her. When the two left the car in the city, Helen wes again relentlessly on their bee’s Following them vigilantly she intercepted. an officer, told him of her chase, and he instantly joined her in the pursuit cf the men, now disappear ing in the distance. Turning into an cbacure street, the crimiwals entered a doorway and started up a long flight of stairs, Helen with her policeman hard behind Looking back from the first landing the convicts now saw their pursuers Springing up a second flight of stairs, they knocked hurriedly at the first door. It was opened by their confederate, The Bat, who, inside the room, had been diverting himself by ccamtIng the stolen money. ! “They're after us,” exclaimed Sykes to him. “We’ve got to get out of here. Beat it, Bat. The girl and the cop are on the stairs.” “Make for the roof,” cried the Bat. The hard-pressed pair ran for the trap ladder. The Bat, keeping to his room, slammed the door shut. Once through the trap door, which Sykes and Dan dropped behind them, and on the roof, the pair imagined themselves safe, but Helen and her officer were close behind, and when they found the trap door closed against them the officer drew his revolver and fired up through it. On the outside, Sykes and Dan jumped back like rabbits from the shots. Helen and her helper threw open the trap unopposed, and. gaining the roof, faced the convict*. Nowhere could the robbers find ar, aveziae of escape on tlie top of the building, and cornered like rats as Helen and the policemen reached them, they put up a hand-to-hand fight. The officer tackled Sykes, the more powerful of the pair, and Dan, seeing his opportunity for a flank movement, tried to regain the trap door Helen pounced on him like a panther He tried to throw her off. Despite bis blows and struggles, lie couid not get rid of his tenacious assailant and locked in a lifc-and-death struggle they fought, reckless of consequence’ , nearer and nearer to the edge of bhn roof. For a moment both them lives ' were in peril, but Helen, her fighting , blood up, would have clung to h»r prisoner if it had cost her life ' j Providentially, the harried mar fast losin? his nerve under her frantic‘-t ! tack, and pushing to the edge ci'th- 1 parapet in the wild assault, flung Helen violently off in an eff « throw her over the roof parapet to In his terrific effor't £ ” lest hrn balance.

Kokomo, re eently said, regarding Tanlac, the Master Medicine: "Constipation and stomach trouble caused me great annoyance and pain for months. 1 suffered intensely with indigestion, hud frequent severe headaches. and was very nervous. | f e [ t nauseated most of the time and had a very ]x>or appetite. Almost everything I ato produced nausea. 1 was extremely rhstleas at night, owing t 0 my nerves being unstrung, and I g ol very little sleep. "Tanlac appealed to me because 1 knew of the good it was doing others. I decided that a medicine that was doIng so much good for others ought to help nte. Since taking Tanlac I sleep better than 1 have for years, and the headaches have disappeared. My nerves, also, are in good condition, j now, and the stomach trouble has been ; relieved wonderfully. Tanlae just fits 'my case. 1 feel better and stronger I than I have for years.” Thousands of Indiana people are now deriving benefit from Tanlac.
