Instantly Madame Sutro called a male attendant from the gambling house across the alley, and the two carried Mary's limp form Into the se cret passage—away, Mona concealing herself behind a curtain in the corner of the room. As the two reappeared, the girl pressed the concealed spring, and stole Into the shadowy aperture, holding her breath as she made her way cautiously forward. She reaohed the exit, and passed through Into the other house without discovery. She found herself in the room, where Slat em had conducted her before. Making her way through the doorway, she en tered a wide hall way, running the full length of the building. She saw a stairway at her left, leading below, and remembering the shriek she had heard on her previous visit had emanated from the direction of the basement, she picked her way down the stairs until she reached a lower hall. At this moment she heard a low crv from a locked door midway before her Darting forward, she fumbled at the lock, as she heard Mary's voice from within. "I have found her!" called Mary •*- cltedly. "But, of dear, she Is in a They Carried Her lnt» Secret Pauag*. rtupor. and I can't route herl The acoundrels! What have they done to the poor thing?" Mona glanced around her desperately seeking for some method to open the door. As her eye* fell on the stairway, she fell back with a gasp of dismay. Madame Sutro and the attendant were halfway down the stair*—and escape was Impossible! The same instant the proprietress of the Beauty Parlors eaught eight of the girl, and rateed her voice In a shrill command. "There Is the girl. Sam! Grab her, while I call DanP' She darted back up the stairs, while the man, springing toward Mona, caught her arm in a vise like grip. As Mona staggered back, the door, behind whloh she had heard Mary's voice, swung open, with the aid of the skeleton key from Carson, and Mary sprang Into the hall, pulling after her the fainting form of a young wo man of about 20, who stared about her helplessly. The attendant, Sam. swore at the sight, and raising his voice in a call for reinforcements, thrust Mary back, with her companion, and caught Mona before she could reach the stairs. Two more attendants from the upper rooms, ap pearing at that moment, Mona was hurrlea down the hall to a room at the extreme end, and heard the door bolted behind her as she was shoved within. It wan a moment when every second counted. With a wild thought of her police whistle, she darted across to the window. Before she could reach It, the door behind her opened again, ana Dan Slatern sprang Into the room. "You traitress!" he snarled. "So you thought you could put one over on me! I'll teach you not to try a trick like that again!" Mona struggled In vain to frae her •elf from his embrace. The two stag, gered back and forth across the room, the girl fighting like a wild cat as eh« saw the desperate odds against her. A table fell over with a crash, and Slatern tripped against It with an oath. At the opportunity. Mona sprang toward the window, seized a heavy water pitcher from a shelf, and sent it crashing through the panes. There was a shat tering of glass, and then ar, she thrust the police whistle to her lips. Slatern's arms caught her again, and the strug gle commenced anew. But It was of only short duration. From above there came the sound of a battering ram against the outsld* door, and a hoarse command to open In the name of the law. Slatern threw Mona from him, and made for the door. But he was too late. "Hands up!" called a sharp voice, and Casper Carson, with two deputies at his shoulders, faced the Boss with a drawn revolver. "Where Is Mary?" called Mona, weakly. "Here I am!" And Mary Burnett with her hair loosened, and her eyes glistening, slipped through the door j way, and Into the other's arms. Before Mona could ask for her story, however. Mary dragged her back Into the hall, and Into the room, where she had found the unknown glrl-prls , oner of the establishment. The young woman was lying on a rude bed, with the same vague stare in her eyes. "I have heard enough from her to send Slatern to the penitentiary for life!" said Mary excitedly. "Her name Is Helen Mlntern—a stenographer In Slatern's office. Slatern discovered that •he had found out too much about his methods, and that she was apt to be dangerous —so he kidnapped ner bod- Mona whirled. "Where la Slatern?" she demanded. Casper Carson answered the question grimly, as he stepped Into the room. "He Is on his way to the district at torney's office, with Madame Sutro. and other occupants of this den! I con gratulate you young women! You havs I done what I tried to do for months, and couldn't! And now, If you are able, we will take the poor girl you have iound to your apartment until we can discuss the situation more thor oughly. I don't Imagine vou will be sorry to see the last of this place!" In answer, Mona stooped, and raised Helen Mlntern tenderly, while Casper Carson sprang to her side to aid her 'You are a wonder!" he said In a low tone. "Do you think so?" she returne4 £•• tnurely. : ~ E2£BW HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FIVE GAMES IN DAUPHIN-PERRY Double-Headers at Newport and Millersburg; Duncannon Awarded Protested Game Marysvllle, Pa.. July 13. Unless Jupiter Pluvius interferes to-morrow, five good games can be expected in the Dauphin-Perry league. All of the teams except Duncannon and Marvs ville are booked for double-headers. Halifax plays two games at Newport, Dauphin two at Millersburg and Marysvllle and Duncannon are booked for a single bill at Duncannon. At a league meeting this week, a protested Millersburg victory was thrown out and the game awarded to Duncannon. As a result of this ruling, the positions of these two teams are reversed, Millersburg dropping to the cellar and Duncannon going Into fifth place. The games of real interest to-mor row are those at Newport. Both teams are going at a good clip and Halifax is making a strong bid for this year's pennant. Newport will probably use Emerick in tUe box in one game and Frankhouse in the other. Reeder will catch. Manager Koppenhaver will have "Old Man" Harry Blever try to do the "Iron man" stunt and hurl both games. Dusty Rhoads will catch. At Millersburg, Dauphin and Mil lersburg has struck a fast clip lately and should pull out of the cellar. Heffelflnger and Kline will probably pitch and Bufflngton will catch. Man ager Lyter will probably send in Fln nen and Gilday to hurl for his Dau phin Hustlers and Kline will catch. Then is a probability that Lutz will be used behind the bat. At Duncannon, the Marysvllle Champs will clash with the team of that place. Manager Harry Stees of Marysvlllp will use "Old Reliable" Wertz in the box and Kurzenknabe will catch. Gibson, the Wenonah Military Academy hurler, will pitch for Duncannon and Dearolf will catch. HERE'S THE LATEST Cincinnati, Ohio, July 14.
