CHAPTER XLVI.
A Hotd-Up.
The captain of the cruiser Albany
had his men scour the country round
about, but —as had ever been the case
•with Hernandez and his nimble-footed
crew—without result.
"At any rate," he said, "the rascal*
have run away—they've probably
shown us their heels for all time. You
go to Chantillo, Miss Ilington. You
lake that one-horse train here —we'll
escort you to the train. Over at
Chantillo lies the Missouri, a first
class battleship. I'll give you a note
to her commander. He'll see you safe
on board the South California boat."
Neal and a small guard of marines
constituted Annette's escort.
Annette laughed when she saw the
station —laughed more when she saw
the train. It consisted of the sorriest
engine she had ever seen—also the
most diminutive and battered coach.
"Look here," said Neal to Annette,
"come inside the station. I want to
show you something."
Annette knew . . . inside she
broke down and cried like a child.
"It's good-by now, Neal." she said,
;"I don't know what I'm going to do
'without you. ... I feel like
•, . . almost going back . .
"By George," said Neal, "I wish
f. . . but no. You'll stick it out. I
•know you will. I'm sure. But, if it's
"Look—Seel" Exclaimed the Brute,
tough on you—think of me. I feel like
chucking up my job . .
A tin horn blew outside. "W-what's
that?" cried Annette.
Mrs. Hardin and Joe Welcher rushed
into the station. "The train —the
train," they cried.
They were quite right. The engi
neer -was already pulling his rusty lev
er. The train actually was starting
up, station-try though it had seemed.
"Go ahead little one," said Neal,
"good luck."
Half a mile farther down the track,
out of the jungle crept two figures—
each with gun in hand, each with a
black mask upon his face. Across the
track they piled a tree or two —these
trees had been plucked up by the roota
by one of these masked men.
After completing this self-appointed
task, they crept back into the jungle
and waited patiently, (s,
Finally one of the men prodded the
other. "Now," he commanded, "here
she comes."
A faint tin horn whistle was heard
around the curve. The fast mail of
the Chantillo line approached. She
approached, but seeing the obstruc
tion on the track, she hesitated, halted,
came to a full stop. The two masked
men leaped upon the engine and held
up the crew with their ever-ready
guns.
Hernandez stepped into the car be
hind. He fired three shots. He aimed
at no one. The shots had their ef
fect—on two persons at least. Joe
Welcher ducked at once. Mrs. Har
din followed suit. v No one was hit.
Annette alone retained her nerve.
"So," she said fearlessly, "it's you
again. And where is your charming
friend, Miss Irene Courtier?"
"Brute," cried Hernandez, throwing
oft his mask, "bring those two men
here."
The Brute brought them. "Take the
bell cord," said Hernandez to the
train crew, "and tie this young girl
up."
Hernander, still with his gun on
guard, bent over the girl. He piunged
his hand into her breast, and with a
Jerk tore the chamois bag from her
neck.

CUNNINGHAM ON
STATE'S HIGHWAYS
Makes Interesting Address to
People at Johnstown on
Occasion of His Visit
Special to The Telegraph
Johnston, Pa., Nov. 11.—State High
way Commissioner R. J. Cunningham
was the guest of Johnstown and
Cambria county to-day the occasion
being "Cunningham Day," set aside
to honor him. The commissioner was
entertained at Johnstown by the
Johnstown Chamber of Commerce at
which he delivered an address.
In opening his remarks Commis
sioner Cunningham paid a high tribute
to Governor Brumbaugh, who, he de
clared, was a "good roads enthusiast"
of the most pronounced type. The
commissioner then discussed the re
organization of the State Highway De
partment, made necessary by the fail
ure of the Legislature to provide suffi
cient funds for the construction of
new highways. He called attention
to the fact that the Sproul Highway
System, as at present constituted,
comprised 10,200 miles of highways.
Inasmuch as funds for construction
purposes are not available, It had be
come necessary, he said, so to con
duct the department as to provide for
tho adequate maintenance of this vast
mileage.
The commissioner then compared
the Pennsylvania highway situation
with that of other States where
adequate funds have been provided
for the proper construction of mod
ern highways. He cited the appro
priation made by the 1915 Legislature
to the State Highway Department and
told how it was divided and what
funds were actually available for
maintenance work. In this connec
tion the commissioner declared that
It was the policy of the department to
maintain the improved roads as well
as the earth roads.
The commissioner surprised his
hearers with the statement that since
he assumed office the State Highway
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Department Improved more than 8,-
262 miles of the 10,200 miles of the
State Highway System. Of this
mileage 1,880 are stone or other hard
surfaced roads; 575 are flint, gravel
and shale and 5,824 are earth roads.
He called attention to the fact that
397 miles of this maintenance was re
surfacing work on roads already con
structed.
Urging the cos-operation of county
commissioners in contributing the
county's share towards road improve
ment, the Highway Commissioner
dwelt on the fact that it would not be
possible for his department to do
much in counties where this co-opera
tion was withheld. He declared that
the funds collected for the registra
tion and licensing of automobiles
should go to the department. For
merly, he said, this was the case, but
the last Legislature neglected to pass
a bill specifically appropriating these
moneys to the State Highway Depart
ment. The commissioner then dwelt
on the efforts he Is making to enforce
the automobile law, with particular
reference to those who drive reck
lessly.
In conclusion Commissioner Cun
ningham reviewed local conditions in
Cambria county and told his hearers
what had better bo done to improve
the highways in and around Johns
town.
MANY STUDENTS SPEAK
SPANISH AND POTUGESE
State College, Pa., Nov. 11. Be
lieving that the Spanish and Portugese
languages are destined to have Im
portant places in American commer
cial life, many students at the Penn
sylvania State College are giving much
attention to the study of these tongues.
There are 165 freshmen enrolled in the
Spanish classes while twelve of the
first-year men have chosen Portugess.
The course in Portugese was added to
the curriculum at Penn State only this
year, and there are but few colleges
in the country offering a similar
course. The number of students elect
ing Spanish is far in advance of the
previous years, thero being 85 more
than in 1914, and an increase of 125
over the class of 1913. Joseph \V.
Croweil, a recent graduate of Haver
ford College, is in charge of the two
popular courses. A Spanish club-is
being organized among the students,
and that language will be the only
medium of communication at the club
meetings. I

TO FUT ON FLESH
AND INCREASE WEIGHT
Good Advice For Thin People
"I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to gain a few pounds and stay
that way," declare many thin men and
women. Such a result is usually not
impossible despite past failures. Most
thin people are victims of malnu
trition, a condition which prevents the
latty elements of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are
when the powers of nutrition are nor
mal. Instead of getting into the blood
much of the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro
duce a healthy, normal amount of fat
the flesh-making food elements must
be so prepared in the digestive proc-,
esses that the blood will accept and
distribute them throughout the body.
There is a preparation called Sargol,
which works on this basis and which
is sold by nearly every druggist on a
positive guarantee of weight increase
or money back. Hundreds have testi
fied to weight increase from its use.
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but Is simply a combination of ingre
dients of acknowledged merit that,
taken with meals, seems to better
enable the digestive organs to separate
the fattening elements of the food and
to prepare them in a form which tho
blood can readily absorb. Sargol
comes In tablet form. Is pleasant and
easy to take and Its action Is perfectly
natural and harmless. Sargol Is sold
by Geo. A. Gorgas and druggists every
where, who are authorized to refund
the full purchase price If weight in
crease Is not obtained.
NOTE—Sargol is recommended only
as a flesh builder, and while it has
produced excellent results In cases of
nervous Indigestion and general stom
ach disorders, care should be taken by
those using It who do not want to In
crease weight.—Advertisement.
