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.

MONDAY EVENING.
I "The gasoline sir. 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

BIG CAROLINA SNOWSTORM MAfCES ALLIGATOR LATE FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL
A snowstorm in North Carolina in April is the limit in any event, but when that pesky snowstorm makes
a perfectly amicable and religiously-minded alligator late for Sunday school on Easter Day—well, it's about time
somebody hands the weather man a pink slip, that's all!
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.

Hungarians Now Sing
"Tipperary" on March
Special to The Telegraph
London, April G.—A correspondent
of the Daily Chronicle says:
"Two curiosities so far as the Hun
garian soldier is concerned which the
war has produced are songs. 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,"
