Runaway June By George Randolph Chester and Lillian Chester. Copyright 1915* by Serial Publication Corporation. ELEVENTH EPISODE |o tbe Clutch of the River Thieves. CHAPTER I. mHERE was a wild clanging of bells on the yacht Hilarity as the sun pushed its scarlet rim up into the edge of dawn. At the foot of the lauding stairs beautiful June Warner, her big, lustrous eyes widened in terror, had cast off the swift little motor tender, and the dark, handsome face of the black Vandyked man, peering over the deck rail, was distorted with rage. He shouted again his impatient commands to the officer on the quarterdeck. Sleep}- sailors were on deck now fumbling with the davlf« on each side From one swung a little covered cntter and from the other a long, narrow racer. Blj'the sprang to assist the sailors lowering th racer. On the dock as the sun pushed its scarlet rim up into the edge of the <lawn stood the well known and Justly famous private detective Bill Wolf, his short, thick body stiff with the chill ot the long night, and by hiin stood an overcoat and cap. Bill Wolfs round face and the visor of the cap were The Escape of June. turned toward the river, where In mid' stream streaked the speedy little mo- ! torboat Flash, which had been stolen' r rom that dock while the overcoat and o;ap peacefully slumbered. In the boat j at the wheel sat a natty little figure with a chauffeur's cap and a tiny mus- 1 tache. Upon his face was a. beatific smile, and his eyes sparkled and snap ped with the exhilaration of this divine moment. Behind him sat, stiff as a ramrod, a woman with high cheek bones and an expression of grimly pa tient determination on her lips. j "Volla, Mile. Marie!" cried the little chauffeur as he cut a long, graceful curve between two slow moving barges. "Did I not say we would swish?" Marie's stiff Hps worked for a mo ment, so that she could enunciate. "Volla!" she hoarsely uttered. "Yoila, Henri!" For only a moment the well known and justly famous private detective Bill Wolf looked after the swiftly swishing Henri; then he turned and pounded up the dock, racing for the nearest tele- ( phone. First of all he called the Eagle ' Eye Detective agency and secured a re- j port from its wireless department; 1 then he roused out of slumber a sharp i faced, long nosed woman with high arched brows, wM caught up her bed side telephone with instant alertness in her beady eyes. "Well, I got him!" came the hoarse voice (>f Bill Wolf. "He's on board the yacht Hilarity, and, say, with the j girl!" Immediately Honoria moved very swiftly. The sleepy eyed steward stepped onti upon the deck of the nilarity with his ! uniformed jacket buttoned nskew. "Beg your pardon, sir," he said. "Don't lower the boats for a moment." "What!" shouted Gilbert Blye.

It did not arrive nivtil an hour ago." "And there's no gasoline in these tanks?" roared big T. P. Edwards, | pushing forward, j "No. sir." "You infernal idiot!" yelled Orin Cun ningham. "Lower those boats!" shouted Gilbert Bl.ve. "Wllktns, get downstairs. You can fill those boats In the water." And he looked out across tb<j waves. The escaping beauty was rounding the point. In the pretty apartments which Ned and June Warner had fitted up to be their nest Ned rose from the couch where he had fallen asleep with the miniature of June In his hand and rec ognized the rasping voice of Honoria. "Well, we've located your darling!" And there was n shrill cackle. "She's on board the Hilarity with my hus band. And the yacht is anchored out side the bay. Good morning." Ned wasted no time. Bobbie Bleth ering had a stanch little boat, and Bob bie was routed out of bed immediately, yawning and wondering why the world could never be at peace. But he was voady, though It took his agitated wife. Iris, seven minutes to make him com prehend that the Hilarity was a boat. She had to suppress all her ebullient emotions to do it, but she relieved her self somewhat by telephoning June's mother and father at their beautiful home in Br.mport. As the sun pushed Its scarlet rim up Into the edge of the dawn and stared Jn pleased surprise at the beautiful girl who was speeding toward tho marshy shore a low, gray skiff with a portable motor attached to its stern Bklpped In and out of the dlmneus among th» Waek hulls at the river*! edge. In the stiff .were three rongli looking men and a roughly dressed woman, who sat ln the bow. All four were silent, but their furtive eyes roved constantly over every ves sel around which they crept. In the bottom of the boat were a huge bundle of celery and a loosely piled tarpaulin. Sut|denly the woman leaned forward and touched the nearest man on the knee. He was a big, rawboned man with a bronzed face and a deep scar on his chin. The woman pointed, and the man turned his evil eyes in that direction. Surrounded by black coal barges was a shining houseboat with | brass rails, mahogany cabin and all | the fittings and appointments which j extravagance could devise. ! The man at the stern, a lean, wiry fellow with a hooked nose and a lean jaw which ended in a big knob on each cheek, slowed down the engine until it was noiseless. They completely circled tho two adjoining docks before they came back to the slip where coal barges lay; then the skiff glided in beneath the overhang of the barges, and the big man with the scar on hia chin knocked on the hull. No noise from within. The man picked up a club and pounded. No stirring. There was not a living creature in sight except these four early morning birds of prey. "All right Babe," growled the man with the scar on his chin. The woman looked up at the house boat as If she were estimating for herself Its plan, arrangement and all the mysteries which It might contain. She slowly rose and cast aside her shawl. She had been beautiful once. She still bore traces of It, would have shown more traces had she not been unkempt and in frowsy clothing. "It's a wonder Jake -wouldn't take a chance on the break-in once In awhile," she complained. "He's as light on his feet as I am." "Rut I ain't so quick in the head," hastily complimented Jake. "That'll do!" growled the leader ol the party. "Up with you. Babe." The woman shrugged her shoulders and put her roughly shod foot into the big man's outstretched palm. He raised slowly and lifted the woman straight up so that she could draw herself on board. She disappeared. The three men sat silent. "All right, Ben." The woman's fac< peered over the rail. "Say, it's a nes selrode!" The lean Jake stepped forward promptly and climbed up over the bis man's back, perfectly contented now that he knew the silken hung house boat to be empty. The third man with little patches of half formed beard or his face took the rudder: then the hu.gt Ben Jumped up, caught the deck rail and drew Mmself upward. For the hundredth time Ned put his head out of the window. At last thej ■were coming! He seised his coat and hat. hurried down to the street anil Jumped Into the mechanic's seat ol Bobble Bletherlng's roadster before it had come to d full stop; then thej turned and whirled away toward th« docks. Honorla Blye In her electrk coupe was headed for that destination, too, and on the yacht Gilbert Blye wm superintending with impatient energj the loading of the gasoline tanks in the two small boats.

The snowstorm of Saturday along the Atlantic seaboard did that very thins to an alligator destined to be come the mascot of the big men's class of Derry Street United Brethren Church, Fifteenth and Derry streets. O. P. Beckley, one of the class teachers, took the train from Florida, where he was on a business trip, for Harrls burg in plenty of time to get himself and the alligator to the Easter session of the class. And then—bing. right out of a clear sky came the blg-gest snowstorm of the year, tieing things up for more than twelve hours. As a result Mr. Beckley and the alligator did not reach Harrisburg until yesterday at 3.20. But the big class waited their coming and the alligator was taught his first Sunday school lesson anyway. The alligator will be the class mascot, it has been officially decided. Two hundred and eighty-eight men attended the session of the class yesterday.

One is that old refrain which they chanted in 1849 when they were warring off through the evening's darkness and the words of their Bong, hcanted to suit the time, come back to me: 'Francis Joseph needs his soldiers, we are coming, we are coming.' "The other Is 'Tipperary,' Reflected what must be the feelings of every good Touton with his "Clott Strafe England' when he listens to the Hun garian flies marching along to a tune to which countless thousands of Brl lshers have marched away to war. Every Hungarian soldier who has learned the words Is eager to shout them, carefully setting the rhythm for the boots of his comrades rising and Sailing In tho dust," APRIL 5, 1915.
