THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS. McCONNELLSBURG, PA. I A. JL Jw By FRANCIS LYNDE CHAPTER I. At Chaudiere's. It was at Chaudlere's that Griswold lad paten his first breakfast In the Orescent city, and It was at Chau dlere's again that he was sharing a farewell supper w ith Ituinhridge of tho I-oulsianian. Six weeks lay between that and this; forty-odd days of dis couragement and failure superadded pon other similar days and weeks ii tl months. Without meaning to, Itainbridge had been strewing the path with fresh thorns for the defeated one. He had , just been billeted to write up the ba nana trade for his paper, lloylshly ju bilant over the assignment, he had dniKged the New Yorker around to Chaudlere's to a small parting feast. Not that it had required much per suasion. Griswold had fasted for 21 liours, and If Hainbridge were tiot a friend in a purist's definition of the term, he was at least a friendly ac quaintance. The burden of the table talk fell pon Hainbridge, and it occurred to the host that his guest was less than sually responsive, a fault not to be lightly condoned under the joyous cir cumstances. Wherefore he protested. "Whafg the matter with you to light, Kenneth, old man? You're more than commonly grumpy, It seems to "ie: and that's needless " Griswold looked up with a smile that was almost Ill-natured, and quot ed cynically: " Tnto everyone that lath shall be given, and he fliall have abundance; but from tiim that hath not, shall be taken away even that which ho hath.' " Balnbridge's laugh was tolerant enough to take the edge from his re tort. "That's a pretty thing to fling at a man who never knifed you or pistoled you or tried to poison you! An inno cent bystander might say you envied ne." "I do," rejoined Griswold gravely "I envy any man who can earn enough money to pay for three meals a day and a place to sleep in." "Oh, cat's foot! anybody can do that," asserted Hainbridge, with the air of one to whom the struggle for existence has been a mere athlete's practice run. "I know; that Is your theory. Hut the facts disprove It. I can't, for one." Griswold was a fair man. with red dish hair and beard and the quick and sensitive skin of the type. A red flush f anger crept up under the closely cropped beard, and his eyes were right. Hainbridge scofed openly; but he was good-natured enough to make amends when he saw that Griswold was moved. "I take It all back," he said. "I sup pose the book-chicken has come home again to- most, and a returned manu script accounts for anything. But, erlously, Kenneth, you ought to get down to bed-rock facts. Nobody but a crazy phenomenon an find a pub Usher for his first book, nowadays, nless he has had some sort of an Introduction In the magazines or the newspapers. You haveu't had that; so far as I know, you haven't tried H." "Oh, yes, I have tried and failed It Isn't In me to do the salable thing, and there Isn't a magazine editor In the country who doesn't know It by this time. I tell you, Hainbridge, the conditions are all wrong when a man with a vital message to his kind can't get to deliver It to the people who want to hear It." Hainbridge ordered the small cof fees and found his cigar case. "That Is about what I suspected." lie commented Impatiently. "You couldn't keep your peculiar views muzzled even when you were writing a bit of a pot boiler on sugar plant ing. You drop your fool socialistic fad and write a book that a reputable publisher can bring out without com mitting commercial suicide, and you'll stand some show." "Call It what you please; names don't change facts. Listen" Griswold leaned upon the table; his eyes grew hard and the blue In them became me tallic "For more than a month I have tramped the streets of this cursed city begging yes, that Is the word begging for work of any kind that would suffice to keep body and aoul together, and for more than half of that time I have lived on one meal a day. That Is what we have come to; we of the submerged majority. And that Isn't all. The wage worker Imse!', when he Is fortunate enough to find a chance to earn his crust. Is but a serf; a chattel among the other possessions of some fellow man who has acquired him In the plutocratic edlstrlbutlon of the earth and the fullness thereof." Hainbridge glanced at his watch. "I must be going," he said, "The Adelantado drops down the river at eleven. How are you fixed for the present, and what are you going to do for the future?" Griswold smile was not pleasant to look nt. "I am 'fixed' to run twenty-four DATE SET FOR END OF WAR November 11 or April 11 It the Predic tion Recently Made by a "Soothsayer." A soothsayer from Zagarabia, who wishes to remain unknown, has pre dicted the end of the great war to- " Ttard the end of the year, and he In sists that peace will be concluded on November U. Ills prediction Is based on logical mathematical calculations ( which be says cannot fall as proved IP I hours longer, thanks to your hospttnl- Ity. For that length of time I pre sume I shall continue to conform to what we have been taught to believe Is the Immutable order of things. After that" He paused, nnd Hainbridge put the question. "Well, after that; what then?" "Then, if the chance to earn Is still denied me, and I am sufficiently hun gry, I shall stretch forth my hand and take w hat I need " Hainbridge fished In his pocket and took out a teudollar banknote. "Do that first." he said, offering Griswold the money. The proletary smiled and shook his head The fruit steamer Adelantado, out ward bound, was shuddering to the first slow revolutions of her propeller when Hainbridge turned the key in the door of the BtufTy little stateroom to which he had been directed, and went on deck. "Why, hello, Hroffln! How are you, old man? Where the dickens did you drop from?" It was the Inevitable steamer ac quaintance who is always at hand to prove the trite narrowness of the .

Hrofhii, heavy browed and clean shaven save for a thick mustache that hid the hard-bitted mouth, replaced the chnir to suit himself and sat down. In appeararce he was a cross between a steamboat captain on a vacation and an up-river plantation overseer recov ering from his annual pleasure trip to the city. Hut his reply to Hain bridge's query proved that he was nei ther. "1 didn't drop; I walked. More than that, I kept step with you all the way from Chaudlere's to the levee. You'd be dead easy game for an amateur." "You'll get yourself disliked, the first thing you know," said Hainbridge, laughing. "Can't you ever forget that you are in the mahunting business? Where are you headed for, Hroftln?" The man who might have passed for a steamboat captain or a plantation overseer, and was neither, chuckled dryly. "You don't expect me to give It away to you, and you a newspaper man, do you? Hut I will seeing you can't get it on the wires. I'm going down to Guatemala after Mortsen." "The Crescent bank defaulter? Hy .love! you've found him at last, have you ?" The detective nodded. "I've been . two years, off and on, trying to locate Mortsen; and now that I've found him, he Is where he can't be extradited. All the same, I'll bet you five to one he goes back with me In the next steamer what?" CHAPTER II. The Right of Might Two days after the supper at Chau diere'a the unlmpetuous routine of the business quarter of New Orleans was rudely disturbed by the shock of a genuine sensation. To shatter at a Blngle blow the most venerable of the routine precedents, the sensational thing chose for its col liding roint with orderly system one of the oldest and most conservative of the city's banks the Rayou State Security. At ten o'clock, following the precise habit of half a lifetime, Mr. Andrew Galbralth, president of the Hayou State, entered his private room In the rear of the main banking apartment, opened his desk, and ad dressed himself to the business of the day. At half-past the hour the presi dent was left alone to read bis cor respondence. Being a man whose mental proo- by past experience of former wars. In fact the same rule which en abled him to find out when this war Is going to end works to perfection when applied to the last Napoleonic war and the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. The last war against Napoleon start ed In 1813 and ended In 1814. The soothsayer adds up these two years and divides the total, viz.: 3G27, Into two numbers of figures each, viz.: 36 and 27. Then adding the two fig ures of each number, vis.: 3 plus I it? v mm TV n 13 Illustrations by C. esses were all serious, and whose hobby was method, Mr. Galbralth had established a custom of giving himself a quiet half-hour of Inviolable seclu sion In which to read and consider his mall. During this sacred Interval the stenographer, standing guard In the outer office, had Instructions to deny his chief to callers of any and every degree. Wherefore, when, at 20 minutes to 11, the door of the pri vate office opened to admit a stranger, the president was Justly annoyed. "Well, sir; what now?" he demand ed, impatiently, taking the Intruder's measure In a swift glance shot from beneath his bushy white eyebrows. Tho unannounced visitor was a young man of rather prepossessing ap pearance, a trifle tall for his breadth of shoulder, fair, with blue eyes and a curling, reddish beard and mustache, the former trimmed to a point. So much the president was able to note In the appralslve glance and to re member afterward. The caller made no reply to the curt question. He had turned and was closing the door. There was a quiet Insistence In the act that was like the flick of a whip to Mr. Galbralth's irri tation. "If you have business with me, you'll have to excuse me for a few minutes," he protested, still more Im patiently, "Be good enough to take a seat In the anteroom until I ring. MacFarland should have told you." The young man drew up a chair and sat down, ignoring the request as If he had failed to hear It. Ordinarily Mr. Andrew Galbralth's temper was equable enough; the age-cooled tem per of a methodical gentleman whose long upper lip was In Itself an adver tisement of self-control. But such a deliberate Infraction of his rules coupled with the stony Impudence of the visitor, made him spring up an grily to ring for the watchman. The Intruder was too quick for him. When his hand sought tho bell push he found himself looking Jnto the muzzle of a revolver, and so was fain to fall back Into his chair, gasping. "Ah-h-h!" he stammered. And when the words could be managed: "So that's It, is It? you're a robber!" "No," said the Invader of the presi dential privacy calmly, speaking for the first time since his Incoming. "I am not a robber, save In your own very limited definition of the word. I am merely a poor man, Mr. Gal bralth one of the uncounted thou sandsand I want money. If you call for help, I shall shoot you. It Is merely a question of money, and If you are amenable to reason " "If I'm but I'm not amenable to your reasons!" blustered the presi dent, recovering a little from the first shock of terrified astoundment. "I re fuse to listen to them. I'll not have anything to do with you. Go away!" The young man's smile showed his teeth, but It also proved that he was not wholly devoid of the sense of humor. "Keep your temper, Mr. Galbralth," he advised coolly. "The moment Is mine, and I say you shall listen first and obey afterward. Otherwise you die. Which is It to be? Choose quickly time Is precious." The president yielded the first point, that of the receptive ear; but grudgingly and as one under strict compulsion. "Well, well, then; out with It. What have you to say for yourself?" "This: You are rich; you represent the existing order of things. I am poor, and I stand for my necessity, which is higher than any man-made law or custom. You have more money than you can possHdy use In any le gitimate personal channels; I have not the price of the next meal, already twenty-four hours overdue. I came here this morning with my life In my hand to Invite you to share with me a portion of that which la yours chiefly by the right of possession. If you do it, well and good; It not, there will be a new president of the Bayou State Security. Do I make myself sufficient ly explicit?" Andrew Galbralth glanced furtively at the paper-weight clock on bis desk. It was nearly eleven, and MacFarland would surely come in on the stroke of the hour. If he could only fend off the catastrophe for a few minutes, until help should come. He searched In his pockets and drew forth a hand ful of coins. The Invader of privacies glanced at the clock In his turn and shook his head. "You are merely trying to gain time, and you know It, Mr. Galbralth. My stake In this game Is much more than a handful of charity silver; and I don't do you the Injustice to believe that you hold jour life so cheaply; you who have so much money and, at best, so few years to live." The president put the little heap of coins on the dek, but he did not abandon the struggle for delay. "What's your price, then?" he de manded, as one who may possibly consider a compromise. "One hundred thousand dollars In cash," equals 9, and 2 plus 7 equals 9, he gets the ninth day of the ninth month, viz.: September 9, the date when peace was Blgued. The same result Is obtained In the case of the Franci-PrusBlan war, be gun In 1870 and ended In 1871. In fact, 1870 plus 1871 equals 3741, or 37 and 41, and 3 plus 7 equals 10, while 4 plus 1 equals 5, so that the date of peace was May 10. Assuming that the present war ends this year then 1914 plus 1915 equals 3829. or 38 and 29; hence 3 plus I ICE D. RHODES "But man! ye're clean daft! Do ye think I have" In the midst of his vehement pro tests the stranger sprang out of his chair, stepped back a pace and raised his weapon. "Mr. Galbralth, you are juggling with your life! Write a check while there Is yet time!" The hammer of the leveled pistol clicked. Andrew Galbralth shut his eyes and made a blind grasp for pen and checkbook. His hands were shak ing as with a palsy, but the fear of death steadied them suddenly when be came to write. "Indorse it!" was the next com mand. The voices had ceased beyond the partition, and the dead silence was relieved only by the labored strokes of the president's pen and the tap-tap of the typewriter In the adjacent anteroom. The check was written and Indorsed, and under the menace of the revolver Andrew Galbralth was trying to give It to the robber. Hut the robber would not take It. "No, I don't want your paper; come with me to your paying teller and get me the money. Make what explana tlon you see fit; but remember if he hesitates, you die." Tbcy left the private office together, the younger man a short half-step In the rear, with his pistol-bearing hand thrust under his coat. The presjdent did not despair. In the public lobby there would be eyes to see, and per haps some that would understand. Mr. Galbralth took a firmer hold upon his self-possession and trusted that some happy chance might yet Intervene to save him. But chance did not Intervene. There was a goodly number of customers in the public space, but not one of the half-dozen or more who nodded to the president or passed the time of day with him saw the' eye-appeal which was the only one he -dared to make. On the short walk around to the pay ing teller's window, the robber kept even step with his victim, and try as he would, Andrew Galbralth could not summon the courage to forget the pistol muzzle menacing him In Its cont-covered ambush. At the paying wicket there was only one customer. Instead of the group the president had hoped to find; a sweet-faced young woman in a mod est traveling bat and a gray coat. She was getting a draft cashed, and when she saw them she would have stood aside. It was the robber who antici pated her Intention and forbade It with a courteous gesture; whereat she turned agulu to the wiudow to con clude her small transaction with the teller. The few moments which followed were terribly trying ones for the gray haired president of the Bayou State Security. None the less, his brain was busy with the chanceful possi bilities. Falling all else, he was deter mined to give the teller a warning signal, come what might. It was a duty owed to society no less than to the bank and to himself. But on-the The Hammer of the Leveled Pistol Clicked. ' pinnacle of resolution, at the- Instant when, with the robber at his elbow, he stepped to the window and pre sented the check, Andrew Galbralth felt the gentle pressure of the pistol muzzle against bis side; nay, more he fancied he could feel the cold chill of the metal strike through and through him. So It came about that the fine reso lution had quite evaporated when be said, with what composure there was In him: "You'll please give me cur-1 rency for that. Johnson." The teller glanced at the check and then at his superior; not too inquisi tively, since it was not his business to question the president's com mands. equals 11 and 2 plus 9 equals 11, and thj result is November 11.

Disadvantage of Being Fire-Eater. It developed that Haba-Haba, tht fire-eater and "wild man" with a cir cus touring in southern Kansas, is " n "J. low will you have It?" he asked; and It was the stranger at Mr. Gal bralth's elbow who answered. "One thousand In fives, tens and twenties, loose, if you please; the re mainder In the largest denominations, put up in a package." 1 The teller counted out the one thou sand in small notes quickly; but he had to leave the cage and go to the vault for the huge remainder. This was the crucial moment of peril for the robber, and the president, stealing a glance at the face of his persecutor, saw the blue eyes blazing with ex citement. "It Is your time to pray, Mr. Gal bralth," said the spoiler in low tones. "If you have given your man the sig nal" But the signal had not been given. The teller was re-entering the cage with a bulky packet of money paper. "You needn't open it," said the young man at the president's elbow "The bank's count is good enough for me." And when the window wicket had been unlatched and the money passed out, he stuffed the loose Mils carelessly into his pocket, put the package containing the ninety-nine thousand dollars under his arm, nod ded to the president, backed swiftly to the street door and vanished. Then It was that Mr. Andrew Gal bralth suddenly found speech, opening his thin lips and pouring forth a tor rent of incoherence which presently got Itself translated into a vengeful hue and cry; and New Orleans the un lmpetuous had its sensation ready made. CHAPTER III. lo Trlumphel Once safely In the street, Kenneth Griswold, with a thousand dollars in his pocket and the packet of bank notes under his arm, was seized by an impulse to do some extravagant thing to celebrate his success. It had proved to be such a simple matter, after all one bold stroke; a tussle, happily bloodless, with the plutocratic dragon whose bold upon his treasure was so easily broken; and presto! the hungry proletary had become himself a power In the world, strong to do good or evil, as the gods might direct. This was the prompting to exulta tion as it might have been set in words; but in Grlswold's thought it was but a swift suggestion, followed Instantly by another which was much more to the immediate purpose. He was hungry; there was a restaurant next door to the bank. Without think ing overmuch of the risk he ran, and perhaps not at all of the audacious subtlety of such an expedient at such a critical moment, he went in, sat down at one of the small marble topped tables, and calmly ordered breakfast. Since hunger is a lusty special pleader, making Itself heard above any pulpit drum of the higher facul ties, it Is quite probable that Gris wold dwelt less upon what he had done than upon what he was about to eat, until the hue and cry in the street reminded him that the chase was begun. But at this, not to appear suspiciously incurious, he put on the mask of indifferent interest and asked the waiter concerning the uproar. The serving man did not know what had happened, but he would go and find out If M'sleu' so desired. "M'sleu' " said breakfast first, by all means, and Information afterward. Both came In due season, and the hungry one ate while he listened. Transmuted Into the broken English of the Gascon serving man, the story of the robbery lost nothing In Irs sen sational features. It was very evident tnat the pluto cratic dragon did not intend to accept defeat 'Without a struggle, and Gris wold set his wits at work upon the problem of escape. "It's a little queer that I hadn't thought of that part of it before," be mused, sipping his coffee as one who need not hasten until the race is actu ally begun. "I suppose the other fel low, the real robber, would have fig ured himself safely out of It or would have thought he had before he made the break. Since I did not, I've got to do it now, and there Isn't much time to throw away. Let me Bee " he shut his eyes and went into the inventive trance of the literary craftsman "the keynote must be originality; I must do that which the other fellow would never think of doing." On the Btrength of that decision ho ventured to order a third cup of cof fee, and before It had cooled he had outlined a plan, basing it upon a cross questioning of the Gascon waiter. There had been but one man con cerned in the robbery, and the side walk gossip was beginning to describe him with discomforting accuracy. Griswold paid his score and went out boldly and with studied noncha lance. He reasoned that, notwith standing the growing accuracy of the street report, he was still in no Imme diate danger so long as he remained In such close proximity to the bank. It was safe to assume that this was one of the things the professional strong-arm man" would not do. But It was also evident that he must speedily lose his Identity It he hoped to escape; and the lost identity must leave no clue to Itself. Griswold smiled when he remem bered how, In fiction of the felon-catch ing sort, and In real life, for that mat ter, the law-breaker always did leave a clue for the pursuers. Thereupon arose a determination to demonstrate practically that It was quite as pos sible to create an inerrant fugitive as to conceive an infallible detective. Joining the passers-by on the side walk, he made his way leisurely to Canal street, and thence diagonally named Harry Blitz, and he lived In Parsons thirty years ago. He was Identified by several old acquaint ances In Parsons. "The nerves In my tongue are dead,'' Blitz explained, "and it never bothers me to do my act except when I accidentally swallow some of the gasoline. Then I usually have a bad stomach ache, but that Is all. Pie, meat and beer all taste alike. I don't get any satisfaction from cold beer until It gets down. Tfiat'i one of the real regrets of tny life. You know it's tough not to be able to through the old French quarter toward the French market. In a narrow alley giving upon the levee he finally found what he was looking for; a dingy sail ors' barber's shop. The barber was a negro, fat, unctuous and sleepy look ing, and he was alone. "Yes, Bah; shave, boss?" asked the negro, bowing and scraping a foot when Griswold entered. "No; a hair cut." The customer produced a silver half-dollar. "Go somewhere and get me a cigar to smoke while you are doing it Get a good one, if you have j o go to Canal street," he added, climbing Into the rickety chair. The fat negro shuffled out, scenting tips. The moment he was out of sight Griswold took up the scissors and began to back awkwardly at his beard and mustache; awkwardly, but swiftly and with well-considered pur pose. The result was a fairly com plete metamorphosis easily wrought. In place of the trim beard and curling mustache there was a rough stubble, stiff and uneven, like thut on the face of a man who had neglected to shave for a week or two. "There, I think that will answer," he told himself, standing back before the cracked looking-glass to get the general effect. "And It is decently original. The professional cracksman would probably have shaved, where upon the first amateur detective be Griswold Went Out Smiling Between His Teeth. met would reconstruct the beard on the sunburned lines. Now fur a paw n broker; and the more avaricious he happens to be, the better he will serve the purpose." He went to the door and looked up and down the alley. The negro was not yet in sight, and Griswold walked rapidly away in the direction opposite to that taken by the obliging barber. A pawnbroker's Bhop of the kind re quired was not far to seek In that lo cality, and when It was found, Gris wold drove a hard bargain with the Portuguese Jew behind the counter. The pledge he offered was the suit he was wearing, and the bargaining con cluded in an exchange of the still serv iceable business suit for a pair of but ternut trousers, a second-hand coat too short In the sleeves, a flannel shirt, a cap, and a red handkerchief; these and a sum of ready money, the small ness of which he deplored plteously before he would consent to accept It The effect of the haggling was ex actly what Griswold had prefigured. The Portuguese, most suspicious ot his tribe, suspecting everything but the truth, flatly accused his customer of having stolen the pledge. And when Gflswold departed without deny ing the charge, suspicion became con viction, nnd the pledged clothlnj, which might otherwise have given the police the needed clue, was carefully hidden away against a time when the Jew's apprehensions should be quieted. Having thus disguised himself, Gris wold made the transformation artisti cally complete by walking a few squares in the dust of a loaded cotton float on the levee. Then he niade a tramp's bundle of the manuscript of the moribund hook, the pistol, and the money In the red handkerchief; and having surveyed himself with some satisfaction in the bar mirror of a riverside pot-bouse, a daring Im pulse to test his disguise by going back to the restaurant where he had breakfasted seized and bore him up town. The experiment was an unqualified success. The proprietor of the bank neighboring cafe not only failed to rec ognize him; he was driven tprth with reWlinga In Idiomatic French and brok en English. "Bete! Go back on da levee w'ere you belong to go. I'll been kipping dls cafe for zhentlemen! Scelerat! Go!" Griswold went out, smiling between his teeth. That settles the question of iden tification and present safety," he as sured himself exultantly. Then: "I believe 1 could walk Into the Bayou State Security and not be recognized." As before, the daring Impulse was Irresistible, and he gave place to it on the spur of the moment. Fouling a five-dollar bill In the mud of the gut ter, he went boldly Into the bank and asked the paying teller to give him silver for It. The teller sniffed at the money, scowled at the man, and turned back to his cash book without a word. Grlswold's smile grew to an inward laugh when he reached the street (TO BE CONTINUE!!) enjoy a cold glass or two on a hot night after doing your stunts." Haba Haba Is fifty-four years old.
