Synopsis In some manner. MIKE CLINCH. proprietor of a disreputable camp in the Adirondacks where he lives with his beautiful stepdaughter. EYE STRAYER. is concerned in the mystery of the priceless Flaming Jewel. The Flaming Jewel was first stolen from a nefugee countess of Esthonia by QU TNT AN A. the great international thief. He loses possession of it and writes to his New York agent. SARD, that it is now held by Mike Clinch. JAMES DARRAGH. who has sworn to recover the jewel for the countess, robs Sard, takes the letter and goes to Clinch’s cabin where he works under the name of HAL SMITH. He is trailed by State Troopers. but Eve. who knows his arrest will cause more trouble for her stepfather, warns him to hide while she receives STATE TROOPER STORMONT. He hesitated, flushed, pointed down at the wet sphagnum. Smith’s footprints were there in damning contrast to her own. Worse than that, Smith’s pipe lay on an embedded log, and a rubber tobacco pouch beside it. She said with a slight catch in her breath: “It seems that somebody has been here * * * Some hunter, perhaps—or a game warden * * “Or Hal Smith,” said Stormont. A painful color swept the girl’s

face and throat. The man, sorry for her, looked away. After a silence: “I know something about s r ou,” he said gently. “And now that I’ve seen you—heard you speak—met your eyes—l know enough about you to form an opinion * * * So I don’t ask you to turn informer. But the law won’t stand for what Clinch is doing—whatever provocation he lias had. And he must not aid or abet any criminal, or harbor any malefactor.” The gill’s features were expressionless. The passive, sullen beauty of her troubled the trooper. “Trouble for Clinch means sorrow for you," he said. “I don’t want you to be unhappy. I bear Clinch no ill will. For this reason I ask him. and I ask you too, to stand clear of this affair. “Hal Smith is wanted. I'm here to take him.” As she said nothing, he looked down at the foot-print in th sphagnum. Then his eyes moved to the
next imprint: to the next. Then he moved slowly along the water’s edge, tracking the course of the man he was following. The girl watched him in silence until the plain trail led him to the spruce thicket. “Don't go in there!” She said sharply, with an odd tremor in her voice. He turned and looked at her, then Stepped calmly into the thicket. And the next instant she was among the spruces, too, confronting him with her rifle. “Get out of these woods!” she said. He looked into the girl’s deathly white face. “Eve,” he said, “it will go hard with you if you kill me. I don’t want you to live out your life in prison.” “I can’t help it. If you send my father to prison he’ll die. I’d rather die myself. Let us alone, I tell you! The man you’re after is nothing to us. We didn't know he had stuck up anybody!” “If he’s nothing to you, why do you point that rifle at me?” “I tell you he is nothing to us. But my father wouldn't betray a dog. And I won’t. That’s all. Now get out of these woods and come back tomorrow. Nobody’ll interfere with you then.” Stormont smiled: “Eve,” he said, “do you really think me as yellow as that?” Her blue eyes flashed a terrible warning, but, in the same instant, he had caught her rifle, twisting it out of her grasp as it exploded.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
The detonation dazed her: then, as he flung the rifle into the water, she caught him by neck and belt and flung him bodily into the spruces. But she fell with him; he held her twisting and struggling with all superb and supple strength; staggered to his feet, still mastering her; and, as she struggled, sobbing, locked hot and panting in his arms, he snapped a pair of handcuffs on her wrists and flung her aside. She fell on both knees, got up, shoulder deep in spruce, blood running from her lip over her chin. The trooper took her by the arm. She was trembling all over. He took a thin steel chain and padlock from his pocket, passed the links around her steel-bound wrists, and fastened her to a young birch tree. Then, drawing his pistol from its holster, he went siwftly forward through the spruces. When he saw the cleft in the rocky flank of Star Peak, he walked straight to the black hole which confronted him. "Come out of there,” he said distinctly. After a few seconds Smith came out. “Good God!” said Stormont in a low voice, “What are you doing here, Darragh?” Darragh came close and rested one hand on Stormont's shoulder. “Don’t crab my game, Stormont. I never dreamed you were in the constabulary or I’d have let you know.” “Are you Hal Smith?" “I sure am. Where’s that girl?”

“Handcuffed out yonder.” “Then for God’s sake go back and act as if you hadn’t found me. Tell Mayor Chandler that I’m after bigger game than he is.” “Clinch?” “Stormont, I’m here to protect Mike Clinch. Tell the mayor not to touch him. The men I’m after are going to try to rob him. I don't wan# them to because —well, I’m going to rob him myself.” Stormont stared. “You must stand by me,” said Darragh. “So must the mayor. He knows me through and through. Tell him to forget that hold-up. I stopped that man Sard. I frisked him. Tell the mayor. I’ll keep in touch with him.” “Os course,” said Stormont, “that settles it.” “Thanks, old chap. Now go back to that girl and let her believe that you never found me.” A slight smile touched their eyes. Both instinctively saluted. Then they shook hands; Darragh, alias Hal Smith, went back into tho hemlockshaded hole in the rocks; Trooper Stormont walked slowly down through tho spruces. When Eve saw him returning empty handed, something flashed in her pallid face like sunlight across her pallid afee like sunlight across snow. .Stormont passed her, went to the water’s edge, soaked a spicy handful of sphagnum moss in the icy water, came back and wiped tho blood from her face. The girl seemed astounded; her

face surged in vivid color as he unlocked the handcuffs and pocketed them and the little steel chain. Her lip was bleeding again. He washed it with wet moss, took a clean handkerchief from the breast of his tunic and laid it against her mouth. “Hold it there,” he said. Mechanically she raised her hand to support the compress. Stormont went back to the shore, recovered her rifle from the shallow water, and returned with it. As she made no motion to take it, he stood it against the tree to which he had tied her. Then he came close to her where she stood holding his handkerchief against her mouth and looking at him out of steady eyes as deeply blue as gentian blossoms. “Eve,” he said, "you win. But you won't forgive me * * * I wish we could be friends, some day * * We never can, now * * * Good-by.” Neither spoke again. Then, of a sudden, the girl’s eyes filled; and) Trooper Stormont caught her free hand and kissed it —kissed it again and again—dropped it and went striding away through the underbrush which was now all rosy with the rays of sunset. After he had disappeared the girl, Eve, went to the cleft in the rocks above. “Come out,” she said contemptuously. “It's a good thing you hid. because there was a real man after you; and God help you if he ever finds you!”

Hal Smith came out. “Pack in your meat,” said the girl curtly, and flung his rifle across her shoulder. Through the rudy afterglow she led the way homeward, a man's handkerchief pressed to her wounded mouth, her eyes preoccupied with tho strangest thoughts that ever had stirred her virgin mind. Behind her walked Darragh with his load of venison and his alias —and his tongue in his cheek. Thus began the preliminaries toward the ultimate undoing of Mike Clinch. Fate, Chance, and Destiny had undertaken the job in earnest.

ARREST BOYS Police Take Youths Into Custody After Pay Phones are “Jimmied.” Miss Ruth Hawker, 2023 Broadway, telephone operator at the Linden Hotel, caused the arrest of two young men who it is alleged attempted to “jimmy” the cash box of pay phones at the hotel last night. George C. Kessler, 19, of 3241 Baltimore Ave., and Floyd Ransdall, 16, of 209 The Shiel Apartments, were arrested. A screw driver was found in one booth where the men had been and the marks on the telephone cash box indicated that an attempt had been made to force it open. C. D. Lingham, clerk at the hotel detained the two men until the police arrived after Miss Hawker had called his attention to their suspicious actions.
