Saturday night, another dangerous Ohio foe will clash with the Tigers when Dennison invades the Bowman gym. This will he the initial meeting of the season for the two quintets. DePauw will play a return battle with Dennison on Feb. 20.

[Washington Herald ] It seems that Washington’s Hatchets were just about Frankfort’s last chance for a charity tilt. Frankfort invited Vincennes, hut it was impossible; then they asked Greencastle hut j i Greencastle expects to whip those 7 | devilish Brazilians the very night 101 Frankfort wants them to come there, i so Greencastle said thumbs down.

Old Scrambled went up to see DePauw and Miami, of Ohio, mix Saturday night. DePauw avenged a previous defeat in the hand of Miami hv winning, 26 to 15 Miami’s zone defense kept DePauw players away from the goal for a workable lead until late in the game.

- mind nf rxplorion, drowning it. He glanced cautiously round; then struck a match, lit the trailing length of fuse. It would burn long enough for him lo he far away before the explosion cattle. Sparks began to sputter from the end of the fuse. Now for flight! I'rome turned to holt—to realue with a start and a suddenly whitening face that all his guilty moverr cuts had been watched. Two figures stealing up swiftly anil noiselessly behind him, already close

on him!

“Not this time, Frome—you with your damned murderous tricks!” It was INItatn. With " .spring he was on Frome. “Quick, Webber I” lie shouted. “.Stamp out that fuse!” Frome fought like a madman. He was more powerfully built than IIsliam, and sheer desperation made hin\ a still more dangerous antagonist. Ilsliatn alone could not have held him; but Webber, after coolly extinguishing the fuse that in another thirty seconds would have exploded the charge, was there to take a swift hand in the game. Frome, still struggling, was being held in a grip he fought against in vain as Inspector Haste came running up with Jim and Grayson. In the distance two plain clothes men were following in response to Haste’s signal. “Hello, Wynter,” said Ilsham a little breathlessly. “Just caught this murderous gentleman red-handed. 'Fite scheme was to blow up this wall—and in another minute thcre’d have been four dead men on the other sidel" A pair of handcuffs clicked upon the would he murderer’s wrists.

• • •

Very rautiously two men were making a wide detour through the dark wooded grounds from the house towards the estuary—Sant and Martell, who with the failure of Frome’s desperate throw had seen at last the shadow of the end Ilsham’s cry that had reached them as they waited in the shadow near the house for the sound of the crashing wall, followted by Fronte’s swift arrest, had been warning enough. Even Martell’* nerve had failed him at last* Nothing for it now but instant flight. Flight by vvtfter, if only they gDttld reach the motorboat. That looked like their last and only chance, since almost certainly Ha«te woflhl have men posted in the road and in the side lane. a As they stoic towards the estuary, for three parts of the distance their movements wrre 0 screencd by the deep shadow of the trees. But at the bottom of the grounds the last fifty yards to the boathouse would have to be taken in the open—and as Martell and Sant emerged cau-

forward to bar the way. With that revolver menacing him, the second man reluctantly drew back; in fare of that all he could do was to yell out to Haste. Covering their flight with the revolver, the two criminals made a dash for the boathouse, Haste and the others raced toward the scene, but the intervening distance was against them. Before they roitld reach the boathouse the motor boat with the two fugitnes in it had pushed out into the stream, with the tide helping them even before the engine began to splutter. Haste’s face was a pirture of furious frowning chagrin. That in spite of all his precautions they should have slipped through his fingersl Jim Wynter caught his arm excitedly. , . "Thry're (HVrA MS the slip nowhut I know wbere they’ll make for, where we can still ratch tliemV THE ONLY CHANCE# Last night Martell and Sant lta,d secured Severn’s letter with its chie to the hidden treasure—the enigmatical clue of that fish that probably would be no enigma to them. This would he their only chance left for a last desperate bid for the Czarina Rubies. “Monksilver—tint’s where they’ll go! That’s where we can trap them.” The wounded man was carried to the house, where Haste sent an urgent telephone message for a doctor, whilst one of his men took what measures he could to stop the loss of blood. Martetl’s bullet had plowed through the shoulder. Haste dispatched a second hurried ntessagd to the police station near Monksilver. He, Jim and Bill GraytOII were following the nu sage in person shortly and with the advantage of a swift car would probably reach Monksilver before the two wanted men. But first Haste wanted to explore the crypt, the way to which had by this time been almost

cleared.

Their prisoner Frome meanwhile was driven off to the police station at Trayne. • At Beggars’ Court they had found Mrs. Martin lying insensible, as if she had been stnftk down by a blow. No doubt, in her pas>iijnate resentment at the sight of the two men she believed responsible for ber husband’s death, the half-demented woman had forgotten prudence and Haste’s injunctions alike, at*l had accused them of the crime. Mrs. Martin was just beginning tg show signs of returning consciousness. Leaving her and the injure^ man in the care of one of the Trayne police, Haste and the others hurried back to the ruins.

“But how on earth do you come to be here:’’ demanded the inspector of Ilsham. “We supposed yon to have been kidnapped hy Martell'"

crowd 1”

Ilsham laughed. “No. Afraid I must confess to a polite d< ception, inspector. I wasn’t kidnaped, hut it was very necessary for Scotland Yard to act at once on my letter- I knew these men would attempt to have those vaults cleared before the police could make a move —and I guessed my supposed kidnaping would lend my letter an added urgency,” he admitted with a smile. "Knowing what slippery rascals wc had to deal with, I've been watching in the grounds more or less ever since where Webber, who was in the secret, of course, joined me tonight. And I think on Ihe whole it was just as well 1 did!” “Yes. By heaven, you’re right I” cried Haste, thinking of that tragedy Ilsham had just averted. Already the sunken steps had been sufficiently cleared for the door of the vault to be reached. A heavy baulk of timber was brought into operation, and under its repeated impact the door shivered and yielded, Open at last! The light from the smoky flares threw a dull red wavering glow into that dark underground place of low vaulted arches, revealing dimly the forepart Of a wide low-raffed crypt stretching away fo F>e lost In dqep mWerious shadow. “They’ve got electric light here anyway,” muttered Inspector Haste, staring into the gloomy forbidding

interior.

THE DISCOVERY A cluster of electric bulbs showed overhead; evidently current had hern run to the vaults from the dynamo at Beggars' Court, supplying not only light but heat, for not far from the entrance stood a great electric stove. Haste found 'the switch and a flood of radiance leapt out. Their first glance around revealed what llshatn had told them they would find—a store of cocaine ready for distribution. But not cocaine only. It was Jim VVyntrr who lighted on the grim discovery. In one of the further recesses of this network of vaults, beyond the immediate ratlitis of the electric light, he had come upon something over which a rough tarpaulin was drawn. With a swift premonition of what he would find beneath he drew the covering back. He flashed down the light of an electric torch on the upturned dead face revealed there, his own face in that moment of swift upleaping horror scarcely less vQiite. ’’Creykel” Jim looked down aj the form of a man who had met his death at Monksilver and turned away with a shudder as Haste strode up quickly. JAiese criminals must have brought their victim back from Monksilver intending to dispose effectually of the evidence of their crime. Possibly the dead man was to have been taken out to sea in the motor boat. But before their plans had been carried out, Jim's discovery of that underground door, his insistence that it should be opened, had scared Sant into sealing it by blowing up the inner wall.
