Of course the unexpected naval-se cret-service raid on the Crooked Crag hotel created some sensation —as well as did the rescue of two beautiful young women, Miss Irene Courtier and her friend Miss Illngton. But Newport Is a place of many happen ings—sensational and otherwise —and after all the Crooked Crag had been raided many times before. In its balmy days It had been clev erly constructed and maintained as a secluded gambling place for New York millionaires, a place full of cub by holes and uncanny get-aways. For the thirteenth time in its history It ■was closed up and its proprietor jailed. But the three weird characters who had been the cause of all the vio lence still remained In hiding—Her nandez, the Portuguese adventurer; Ponto, his Mexican side partner, and their strange and unusual companion, the brute. Annette, for her part, gave full de scriptions of these three to the au thorities and accompanied secret-serv ice men on many fruitless trips. "At any rate," she said to her friend, Irene Courtier, "I know now where 1 stand. I was warned to look out for a man with a saber cut across his face." Her face grew wistful. "I thought—feared," she went on, "at first, that that man might be my fa ther; but my father would never treat a girl as this scar-face treated me." Annette touched her neck. A tiny little gold chain fell into the bosom of her waist. "He has laid bare his teeth, this scar-face," said Annette. "He knows something of my father —I'm sure of that —and I'm sure of something else. Ho is seeking my lost Isle of Clnna- BBsn mHrßs • ' iJHX Doing Unusually Queer Things With His Face. bar —he wants it for his own. Well, I, too. can bare my teeth. Let him come on.'" "You are so strong," murmured Irene Courtier, "so strong." A Japanese servant stole into the room—the living room at Miss Cour tier's summer villa at Newport. She had rented this villa for the season and had paid one month's rent—no more. She had paid the Japanese but one month's wages—no more. The Japanese presented a note upon a salver. Inez Castro glanced at It and waved her hand. Mrs. Hardin was ™ lust entering from the veranda. "It is for you, Orandam," said Inez, "and from some old sweetheart, eh?" eh?" Mrs. Hardin opened the missive— her eyes brightened. "It's trom our congressman at Sea port," she exclaimed. "My dear Mrs Ffvlln," he wrote la ! Neal of the Navy I SHOWN IN MOVING PICTURES i I PAT A"KTT A T EACH WEDNESDAY i j V/UJLrUIN liiJLr AND THURSDAY ; Season's Greatest Movie Serial MONDAY EVENING, his note, "hoping that you and your ; charges can add one more evening to your round of gayety in Newport so ciety, I beg to inclose an invitation which may give you a few hours of pleasure. Wish I couid go myself. Anything on a oattleshlp suits me." Inclosed in the missive was a heavy white card engraved in script: The officers of the U. 8. S. Alabama request the honor of your presence with friends at the dance on ahlp* board Tuesday evening, June—. The words "with friends" were in terlined in ink. Annette read the in vitation and then handed it to Inez. "Good," exclaimed Inez. "These are worth while —these shipboard dances." Five minutes later she called up a private number on the wire in her boudoir, waiting impatiently until she heard a voice she knew. Then she talked rapidly, almost in a whisper. "It's worth taking a chance, 1B It not?" she queried. "Ah," returned the voice at the oth er end of the wire, "we do nothing without chances. We shall take a chance. Farewell." It must be understood that an able seaman like Neal Hardin, while his good behavior, his natural aptitude and his general likability gave him many privileges—yet he was still the victim of caste —naval caste. As a civilian he might travel with ladies of dignity, such as his mother, and young women of style and beauty, such as Annette Illngton and her friend, Irene Courtier; but as a chief petty officer remarked to Neal—"A ball on board the Alabama is not for able seamen, not so you could notice it, my boy. Still," he added, clapping Neal upon the shoulder, "I'll try and get you a place on the back stairs where you can look on and see the swells." Figuratively speaking, he got him a place on the back stairs without much difficulty, and after Neal had spent a day in assisting his fellow able seamen in polishing up every thing aboard the Alabama that could be polished, and in swabbing every* thing aboard her that could be swabbed, and in setting to rights everything that could be set to rights, Neal, clad in an Immaculate white duck suit, found himself stationed, stiff as a ramrod, and for the first time scared to death, by the side of a large punch bowl under the canvas covering of the dancing deck. CHAPTER XXII. Incognito. In a dingy little hotel room in Prov idence, RLode Island, there sat a man at a dressing table gazing into a mir ror and doing unusually queer things with his face. Hernandez was past master at a certain art —disguise. Ten minutes later a stranger stood erect within that room—a full-bearded stranger, clad in an evening coat of foreign cut, with well padded paunch and shoulders, eyeing himself still critically in the looking glass. He raised his high hat and bowed pomp ously to Ponto. "In reality, friend Poton," he re marked, "I am M. Romanoff—a Rus sian nobleman." "My friends and I are invited to the dance on board the Alabama," he said. "My friends and I shall go. Call in that beast. Now for the final test." Ponto disappeared and a moment later the brute crept Into the room. He glanced fearfully toward the chair where Hernandez had been sitting; then he glanced about the room. A puzzled expression overspread his countenance and then with a deep gut* tural cry he sprang for the appari tion's throat. Hernandez twitched himself to one side Just In time and then tapped the brute smartly on the arm. "I am satisfied," he said, in tones that the brute immediately recog nized. "Even he did not know me— he, with all the instincts of a savage but faithful dog. Let us be off." An hour later he was standing ex pectantly in front of the huge punch bowl on the dancing deck of the Ala bama. Clustered around this punch bowl were a group of officers and pretty women—and among them Inez Castro and her friend Annette Iling ton. Romanoff stared boldly at them both, then ho turned to Neal Hardin. "A glass of punch, if you please," he said in foreign accents. Neal Hardin did not answer. He was otherwise engaged. Annette Illngton was standing at the table with a young ensign at her side. They were both drinking from the punch bowl. The ensign drank with his right hand; so did Annette, but Annette's left hand was firmly clutched in the hand of Neal Hardin of the punch bowl. It was the only chance the evening could afford them. "A glass of punch," reiterated the unknown Russian nobleman. Neal Jumped as though shot. Has tily he ladled out a glass and pre sented it to the Russian. The Rus sian took one sip of it and sat down ids glass. >TVVTVTTTVTTTTTTTTfTTT fT y w VVVfy"¥ ▼▼▼ T VT ►' < I | ti/xmanX 1 C£.

The venerable warhorse of the local 1 Democracy, Benj. F. Meyers, was then in full control of the editorial policy of the Star-Independent, and In one of his characteristically vigorous edi torials he "deprecated the selection of one whose political record is that of a changeling." Printed under a double column head on the tlrst page of that news paper on the same date appeared a news article with this caption in big black type: FRITCHEY NOT ELIGIBLE TO COUNTY CHAIRMANSHIP Prominent Democrats So Declare Be cause of His Connection With Re publican Party Within Two Years- He Was a Member of the Ilarrlsburg Republican Club Until Less Than a Year Ago. and the Democratic Rules Dcl>ar Him From Candidacy For I the Party Office. ) 'I AM A REPUBLICAN." HE SAID There followed a bitter attack on Fritchey, alleging that he had de serted the Republican party only when he found it to his own personal ad | vantage to do so and that during his | membership in the Republican Cluo "he attended meetings, was a visitor CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears Signature of HARRISBURG t£s£i&& TELEGRAPH to the clubhouse and was regarded by all as a full-fledged Republican." This "turn-coat" policy of the Democratic candidate for County Re corder does not go down well with Democrats who have been faithful to their party principles for years and who believe that there are Democrats enough to fill all nominations without going outside the party to drum up candidates. Bosses Lukewarm Strange enough, while Fritchey's candidacy was not seriously opposed by the bosses of the Democratic ma chine at the primaries, he is not get ting much support from them at present. They are very lukewarm In his behalf and It Is hinted from head quarters that the chief boss of the Dauphin county machine would really breathe a sigh of relief if Frltchey is soundly beaten. For many years this man has striven to overcome the po litical Influence of Dr. John A. Frltchey. brother of the candidate. In this city and county. He has wrested the control of the party away from the elder Frltchey at great expense of money and effort and It is not very likely that he will go to much pains to elevate young Fritchey to one of the most inf'uentlal offices In the county, thereby giving the Frltcheys a fresh foothold In Dauphin county politics. If It had not been for the Demo cratic boss In question. Albert Frltchey would now be postmaster. The chief boss turned Fritchey down and named Sites for the reason that while It was generally understood he would sup port young Frltchey for the place, he was afraid of putting the elder Frltchey back Into a position whereby his recognized political cunning would enable him to again come into control of the Democratic party machinery In this county. For the same reason the chief boss is said to be willing to let Frltchey go by the board this time.
