The Iron Claw

In the meantime, however, both Oys-! ter Joe and Old EH had gained the wagon platform. The former found himself suddenly clenched by the waist and lifted clear of the wagon. Why he should so quickly and bo violently come Into collision with the swaying fcrre ot Oyster Joe, like an alley ball hitting a nlne-pln, was a matter which for all time remained a mystery Co him. Cut over me side of the thundering wagon the two figures i suddenly toppled, rolling along the dust with limbs Interlaced and clawing hands unreasonably clenched In each other's hair. And before they regained either their feet or their mental faculties, tho wagon Itself was well on its way. Yet the driver of that wagon knew that hla escape was only a temporary W "We've got to get out of this!" he called to the lurching girl at his side, as he seized the reins and caught up a whip. "We've got a run of a mile and snore before we can reach Bohawkin bridge and help!" lie lashed tho team forward. "We've got to get to that bridge!" The girl suddenly caught at his arm. "I can see a car!" she called out. It's following us! It's gaining on us!" ( Again the driver plied hla whip. "Are they still gaining?" he asked, a moment later. "Tea," was the girl's answer. "But, see, there's the brid?e ahead of us!" ' "By the help of God, we can make it!" suddenly exulted the man at the reins, for already his tired team was pranging up the Incline of the bridge approach. They were on the bridge now, thundering acroas the draw. A power house attendant, framed In his grimy doorway, stared at them In (wonder. "Lift your draw!" frenziedly comImandod the stranger. "Stop that car! 'For God's sake stop that car!" j But the man In the Jumper saw no reason for any such action. The other, rbrushlng him aside, leaped to the control lever. The outraged bridgetender at the same moment leaped for the intruder. ' But that intruder, for all this sud.den attack, was not to be turned from his purpose. The lever was thrown ! over and one end of the massive draw, responding to the Impulse of the equality massive machinery, rose slowly , from the Hp of the dusty roadway. Legor's car was already thundering across Its span as that network of ! steel began to lift. But the Increasing incline of the draw, for all the car's momentum, sucked from that straining engine its added strength, retarded a little and yet a little more the hurrying wheels. jBut in the ascension of the draw-end there was no delay. I It was then and then only that a sudden shout rose from the car. Five men, realizing what lay before them, ' stood up in their seats as that throbbing and pulsing thing on wheels, mounting to the edge of the draw, for one moment poised there, and then dropped, like a poolball in its pocket, to the riverbed below. It was not until then that the bewhiskered man at the control lever became fully conscious of the fact that the engineer In the oll-stalned Jumper was striking and clawing at his intent body. He endured that assault until the lever had been reversed and the draw started back on its descent. Then, wheeling, the stranger sped across the draw and leaped into the waiting wagon. "Look!" cried the girl, pointing to the riverbed beneath them. There the stranger could see Legar end two or three of his men clinging to a row of broken piling like limpets About a river derelict. '1 was hoping," said the stranger as he caught up the reins, "that this would be the, last .of html"

But along that roadway was nothing to be seen. What she saw when she turned again, though, was a gray wig and a fringe of yellowish-white whiskers lying in the bottom of the wagon. And when she lifted her eyes to the stranger's face she beheld on that face, suddenly rejuvenated, the narrow band of a yellow mask, a yellow mask which covered the eyes and the upper part of the head. But below the mask, intimidating as it was in Its mystery, she could see that the mouth wa3 a smiling one. (TO BE CONTINUED.) RATHER THAN STARVE. Mosquito Say, Fatty, 1 was born n that can.

fl By Wm. J. Burns I don't want any further connection with the case; in fact, sir, I want to get out of the sleuth game altogether. It's a dirty business, at best, and it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth, and many a black spot in one's memory. I realize how petty and sordid and treacherous and generally despicable the whole game is, and I'm through!" "Through?" Henry Blaine smiled his quiet, slow, illuminating smile, and walking around the table, laid his hand on Morrow's shoulder. ".Why boy, you haven't even commenced. Detective work . is 'petty,' you said? 'Petty' because we take every case, no matter how insignificant, if it can right a wrong? You call our profession 'sordid,' because we accept pay for the work of our brains and bodies! Why should we not? Are we treacherous, because we meet malefactors, and fight them with their own weapons? And what is there that is 'generally despicable' about a calling which betters mankind, which protects the innocent, and brings the guilty to Justice?" - - Morrow . shook his head slowly, as if incapable of speech, but it was evident that he was listening, and Blaine, after a moment's pause, followed up his advantage. TheTwo Sisters "I am sorry you could think of anybody except me this morning," the voice went on reproachfully. "You and you only, have been In my mind since we parted. But, I say, girlie, I mustn't keep you from work nov. All Iwant to know is if I can't see you today?"Caryl's thoughts worked rapidly. Of course, seeing him this evening was out of the question. She must have that talk with Julia to-night. While she hesitated Hadley spoke again: "I remember you told me that I couldn't come to that sad looking joint where your sister insists on living to get local color. But I thought you might grant me an hour somewhere late this afternoon." Caryl's face was lighted by a smile of joy. "Why, yes," she agreed. "I can spare you an hour between four and five." "Good!" exclaimed the man. "I'll meet you just inside of the Fifty-ninth street gate of Central Park at4, and we'll have tea together at some quiet place. How does, that sound to you?" "All right!" assented the girl. "There's something I want to speak to you about anyway." "There are lots of things I want to talk to you about," the man declared. "Wasn't I foxy to hunt up old Delaine's number? He never guessed who it was that was asking for you just now." "He mustn't guess," Caryl rejoined hurriedly. "Good-by!" "Good-by dear!" the man murmured, and at the sound of his low tones the girl's face flushed and her eyes shone with happiness. "He loves me already!" she whispered as she went back to her machine to wait for Delaine's return. The minutes ticked themselves slowly away, and the waiting girl grew nervous. Did Delaine suppose that she was talking all this time? When ten minutes had passed she summoned courage to knock at the door leading into the next room, then, as Delaine called out "Come in!" she opened the door softly and glanced in. The man sitting there rose to his feet as he saw her. "Excuse me," she faltered, "I thot that perhaps you did not know that I had finished talking on the telephone some time ago." "I did not know," Delaine rejoined. "I am sorry," the girl said awkwardly, "that you should have been disturbed like this in your dictation. I will tell Julia not to send me a message by one of the clerks during working hours again. I suppose," with an apologetic smile, "that she could not get away from the counter herself just then, and was foolishly anxious to know if I was better."

and Isabel Ostrander "You say that you love Miss Brunell, Guy, and blcause of that, you will have nothing further to do with an investigation which points primarily to her father as an accomplice in the crime. Do you realize that if you throw over the case now, I shall be compelled to put another operative on the trail, with all the information at his disposal which you have detailed to me? You may be sure the man I have In mind will have no sentimental scruples against pushing the matter to the end, without regard for the cost to either Jimmy Brunell or his! daughter. ' Naturally, being in love with the girl, her interests are paramount with you. I, too, desire heartily to do nothing to cause her anxiety or grief. Remember that I hav daughters of my own.

"Why, Patty, dear, what is the mat' ter? You look as if you did not like the pictures or stories in your book," said Grandmother Rabbit. "Y-e-s," said Patty Rabbit, "I like it sometimes, but I get tired reading all the time about Peter Rabbit and Jackie Rabbit and Bennie Rabbit and looking at their pictures. I should like so much to read a story about a little girl Rabbit." "Don't little girl rabbits ever do anything that would make a good story. Grandmother?" "Of course they do, my dear. Didn't I ever tell you about Susie Rabbit that ate her doll?" asked Grandmother Rabbit. "Oh, Grandmother, do tell it to me!" said Pattie Rabbit.

"Don't forget the big interests, political and municipal, at work in this conspiracy. They would not hesitate to try to make the old offended a scape-goat, and you know what sort of treatment he would receive in the hands of the police. Play the game, Guy; stick to the job. I'm not asking this of you for my own investigation. I have a dozen, a score of operatives who could each handle the branch you are working up just as well as you I ask it for the sake of your career, for the girl herself, and her father. I tell you that instead of incriminating old Jimmy, you may be the means of ultimately saving him. Go back to Emily Brunell now, get that letter from her by hook or crook, and bring it to me." The detective paused at length and waited for his answer. It was long In coming. Guy Morrow stood leaning against his desk, his brows drawn down in a troubled frown. Blaine watched the outward signs of his mental struggle warily, but made no further plea. (More Tomorrow) Newspaper Syndicate, New York, girl Rabbit named Susie. Her father and mother were poor, and they did not live as you do, where they could get plenty of food, and she didn't have a book with pictures in it, either. "Susie Rabbit never had anything to play with. She was lucky if she had enough to eat. "But one day Susie Rabbit saw a little girl with a doll going through the woods where she lived and ran home to her mother and cried for a doll. Her mother couldn't get her a doll because they did not live near a store, and if they had she did not have any money to buy one; so Susie cried and cried, and when her father came home she was still crying, n moga nd noptdhak ohtnay storo "'What is the matter with Susie?' he asked, and Susie's mother told him she wanted a doll. "After Susie was in bed that night her mother said to her father: T have thought of something; we can make Susie a doll.' - "'How can we make a doll?' asked Susie's father, looking surprised that his wife should suggest such a thing. '"I'll tell you said Susie's mother, 'you go over to the garden at the farmhouse over the hill and get me a big carrot and a head of nice crisp lettuce and I will show you how I can make a doll.' . "So away ran Susie's father and got the carrot and the "ettuce and brought them home. "Then Susie's mother cut the top of tu3 carrot for a head and made the eyes and the mouth and nose with ink; the doll didn't have any hands; and then she made a pretty dress of the lettuce with a ruffled skirt, which A Stylish Summer Gown. 1781 Taffeta, in a pompadour pattern In green and brown, with GeorgI ette crepe and lace for trimming, js here shown, A neat and Inexpensive development would be of dimity, vo!!o ! or organdie; tub silk, lawn or batiste are nice, too.

was long, so it did not matter if the doll did not have any feet. "She made a cape of one lettuce leaf and a little bonnet from a small leaf; the clothes were fastened on with little sticks which Susie's father whittled from twigs. "'There! I think that looks nice,' said Susie's mother, holding it up for her husband to see. ' '"It looks nice enough to eat,' said Susie's father, smacking his mouth. Susie's mother sprinkled the doll with water, so it would keep fresh, and put it by Susie's bed. "In the morning when she awoke she saw it the first thing. 'Oh, I have got a doll! I've got a doll!' she cried laughing and running to her mother with the doll clasped in her arms. "Susie played with the doll for a while, but as I told you, Suele did not have nice things to eat as you do, and a whole carrot and a head of lettuce all for herself was something new to poor little Susie Rabbit, so after a while she just nibbled a bit of the cape and then 6he nibbled one ruffle. "'I guess she will look Just as well if she only ha6 one ruffle on her skirt,' said Susie, so she ate one leaf of lettuce. "After a while she ate the bonnet, and by and by she ate the other ruffle and the cape. '"A doll without a dress isn't any use,' said Susie; so she ate the carrot, and that was the end of Susie Rabbit's doll." "Oh, grandmother, that was a lovely story," said Patty. "I think that is good enough to print in a book. Won't you have it printed ? Please do. I know lots of little folks would like to read about a girl Rabbit as well as about Peter and Jackie and other boy Rabbits." So Grandmother Rabbit did as Pat ty Rabbit asked, and that is the way you happened to read the story.
