daughter at the governor of South Caro-
lina, while Ardmore espouses the cause
of Jerry Dangerfield. daughter of the
covernor of North Carolina. These two
young ladies are trying to fill the shoes
of their father* while the latter are miss-
ing. Both states are In a turmoil over
one Appleweight, an outlaw with great
political Influence. Unaware of each oth-
er's position, both Grlswold and Ardmore
•et out to make the other prosecute Ap-
pleweight. Ardmore organizes a big hunt.
Grlswold also takes the field. Frank Col-
lins, Atlanta reporter. Is arrested by Ard-
more, but released to become press agent
for the young . millionaire's expedition,
urlsivold'a men capture Bill Appleweight.
CHAPTER XIIUContinued.
"Now we'll see what's happened,"
•aid Habersham. "It looks almost too
easy."
The members of Grlswold's party
who had been thrown round to the
farther side of the church began to
appear, one at a time. There was no
nervousness among i>ny of the band
—a fact that Impreised Grlswold.
They were all riskim much in this
enterprise, but they were outwardly
unperturbed, and chewing their to-
bacco silently while they awaited the
return of the two active agents In the
conspiracy who had dealt directly
with Appleweight. Habersham count-
ed heads, and announced all present
or accounted for.
The tall leader who had ridden the
mule was the first to rise out of the
underbrush, through which he had
erawled circuitously from the rear of
the church. His companion followed
a few seconds later.
"We've got BiH, all tied and gagged
and a-sitting of his hoss," drawled the
leader, "and the hoss !s tied to the
back fence. Rest o' his boys thought
he's gone ahead, but they may miss
him and come back. He's safe
enough, and ef we keep away from
him we'll be ready to light out ef the
gang scents trouble and comes back
to look fer Bill.'
"You're sure he's tied up so he can't
break away or yell?'
"He's as good as dead, a-settin' of
hl hoss in the thicket back theh.'
"And row," said Habersham, "what
we've got to do is to make a run for
ft and land him across the border, and
■tick him into a North Carolina jail,
where he rightfully belongs. The ques-
tion is, can we do it all in one night,
or had we better lock him up some-
where on this 6ide the line and take
another night for It? The sheriff over
there in Kildare is Appleweight's
cousin, but we'll lock him up with
Bill, to make a family party of It"
"We'd better not try too much to-
night," counseled Grlswold. "It's a
big thing to have the man himself.
If It were not for the matter of put-
Ung Gov. Dangerfield in a hole, I'd
favor hurrying with Appleweight to
Columbia, Just for the moral effect of
It on the people of South Carolina.
We'd make a big killing for the ad-
ministration that way, Habersham."
"Yea, you'd make a killing all right,
but you'd have Bill Appleweight on
your hands, which Gov. Osborne has
not until lately been anxious for," re-,
plied Habersham, in a low tone that i
knew that the time had long passed
for her return to the house.
She did not know then that three
men had witnessed her flight from the
duke, or that they had taken swift
vengeance upon him for his unpardon-
able conduct in the moon-blanched
road. It was not Jerry's way to ac-
cept misfortune tamely, and after cir-
cling the wall of timber that shut her
In, In the hope of determining where
she bad entered, she chose a trail at
random and plunged Into the woods.
She assumed that probably all the
roads and paths on the estate led
more or less directly to the great
house or to some lodge or bungalow.
She had lost her riding-crop In her
mad flight, and she broke off a switch,
tossing Its leaves Into the moonlight
and laughing softly as they rained
about her.
Suddenly ahead of her through the
woods floated the sound of singing—
one of those strange, wavering p'leux
cantlques peculiar to the south. She
rode on, thinking to find help and a
guide back to Ardsley; then the music
ceased, and lights now flashed faintly
before her, but she went forward
guardedly.
"I'm much more lost than I thought
I was, for I must be away off the es
tate," she reflected. She turned and
rode back a few rods and dismounted,
and tied her horse to a sapling. She
was disappointed at not finding
camp of Ardmore'! wood-cutters, to
whom she would unhesitatingly have
confided herself; but it seemed wise
now to exercise caution in drawing to
herself the attention of strangers. She
did not know that she had crossed the
state line and was in South Carolina,
or that the singing she had heard
floated from the windows of Mount
Nebo church.
She became now the astonished wit-
ness of a series of Incidents that oc
curred so swiftly as fairly to take her
breath away. A tall, loosely articn
lated man came from the direction of
the church and walked toward her.
She knelt at the tree and watchedi
the moonlight giving her a clear view
of a rustic somewhat past middle age,
whose chief characteristics seemed to
be a grizzled beard and long arms
that swung oddly at his side. The
brim of his wool hat was turned up
sharply from his forehead, and she
had a glimpse of the small, keen, gray
eyes with which he swept tho forest
before him. He freed a horse which
she had not before noticed, and she
expected him to mount and ride away
to join others of the congregation
whom she heard making off in a road
beyond the church. Then, with
quickness and deftness that baffled
her eyes, two men rose beside him
Just as he was about to mount; there
was no outcry and no sound of scuf-
fling, so quick was the descent and so
perfect the understanding between the
captors. In a moment the man was
gathered up, bound, and flung on his
saddle. She had a better view of him,
now that he was hatless, though a gag
had been forced into his mouth and a
handkerchief tied over his eyes, so
that he presented a grotesque appear-
ance. Jerry was so absorbed that she
forgot to be afraid; never in her life
had she witnessed anything so amaz-
ing as this; and now, to her moro
Renewed Hit Efforta to Free Himself.
complete bewilderment, the captors,
after carefully inspecting their work
and finding it satisfactory, seemed to
disappear utterly from the face of the
earth.
In the woods to her left she thought
was heard by no one but his old pre- she heard a horse neigh; then she saw
ceptor.
"You'd better get over the idea
that we're afraid of this outlaw," re-
joined Griswold. "The governor of
North Carolina dare not call his soul
his own where these hill people are
concerned; but tho governor of South
Carolina is a different sort."
While they thus stood on South
Carolina soil, waiting for the safe and
complete dispersion of the Mount
Nebo congregation before seizing the
captive they had gagged and tied at
the rear of the little church, the fates
were ordering a very different ter-
mination of the night's business.
Miss Jerry Dangerfield. galloping
away from the duke of Ballywinjcle,
with no thought but to widen the dis-
tance between them, turned off at the
first cross-road, which began well
enough, but degenerated rapidly into
a miserable trail, through which she
wai obliged to walk her horse. Be-
fore she was aware of it 6he was in
the midst of a clearing where laborers
had lately been cutting timber, an<}
she found, on turning to make her
way out, that she was quite lost, for
three trails, all seemingly alike,
struck off into the forest She spoke
aloud to the horse to reassure her-
self, and smiled as she viewed the
grim phalanx of stumps. She must
however, find her way back to Ards-
ley, for there were times when Jerry
Dangerfield could be serious with her-
self, though it rarely pleased her to
be serious with other people; and she
shadows moving in that direction;
and again, from the road, she heard
the brief debate of the two men as
to the whereabouts of "Bill;" and it
struck Jerry humorously that he
would not soon see his friends unless
they came and helped him out of his
predicament.
It may help to an understanding of
Miss Jerry Dangerfield's character if
it is recorded here that never in her
short life h^d she failed to respond to
the call of impulse. She was lost in
the woods, and strange men lurked
about; a man had been attacked,
seized, and left sitting in a state of
absurd helplessness on a horse pre-
sumably his own, and there was no
guessing what dire penalty his cap-
tore had in store for him.
Quiet reigned in the neighborhood
of the church; the lights had blinked
out; the bang of the closing shutters
reassured Jerry, and she crept on her
knees toward the unconscious captive,
loosed his horse's rein and led it rap^
idly toward her own horse, a little
farther back in the woods. Her blind-
folded prisoner, thinking his original
captors were carrying him off, renew-
ed his efforts to free himself.
Jerry gained her own saddle in the
least bit of a panic, and ^hen she
had mounted and made sure of the
leading-strap with which her prison-
er's horse was provided, she rode on
at a rapid walk until she reached the
clearing, where the stumps again
grimly mocked her. She stopped to
listen, and heard through the still
night first one err and then many
votces in various keys of alarm and
rage. TJ en she bent toward the pris-
oner, tore the bandage from his eyes,
and with more difficulty freed him of
the gag. He blinked and spluttered
at this unexpected deliverance, then
blinked and spluttered afresh at see-
ing that his captor was a young wom-
an, who was plainly not of his world.
Jerry watched him wonderlngly, then
addressed him in her most agreeable
tone.
"You were caught and tied by tw«
men over there by a church. I saw
them, and when they went off and left
you, I came along and brought you
with me, thinking to save your life.
I want to get home as quickly as pos-
sible, and though I do not know you,
and am quite sure we never met be-
fore, I hope you will kindly guide m«
to Ardsley, and thereby render me •
service I shall always deeply appre-
ciate."
Mr. Bill Appleweight, alias Poteet
was well hardened to the shocks of
time, but the pleasant-voiced girl,
coolly sitting her horse, and holding
his own lank steed by a strap, was the
most amazing human being that had
yet dawned on his horizon. He was
not stupid, but Jerry's manner of
speech had baffled more sophisticated
minds than Appleweight's, and the
sweet sincerity of her tone, and her
frank countenance, hallowed as It was
by the moonlight, wrought in the out-
law's mind a befuddlement not wholly
unlike that which had possessed the
wits of many young gallants south of
the Potomac who had laid siege to
Jerry Dangerfield's heart. But the
cries behind them were more pro-
nounced, and Appleweight was noth-
ing if not a man of action.
"Take these things offn me," he
commanded fiercely, "and I'll see y*
safe to Ardsley."
"Not in the least," replied Jerry,
who was ljerself not unmindful of the
voiceB behind. "You will kindly tell
me the way, and I will accommodate
my pace to that of your own some-
what ill-nourished beast And as
there's a mob looking for you back
there, all ready to hang you to one
of these noble forest trees, I advise
you to use more haste and less cau-
tion In pointing the way."
Appleweight lifted his head and
took his bearing. Then he nodded to-
ward one of the three trails which
had so baffled Jerry when first she
broke into the clearing.
"Thet's the nighest," said Apple-
weight, "and we'd better git."
She set the pace at a trot, and was
relieved in a few minutes to pass one
or two landmarks which she remem-
bered from her flight through the
woods. As they splashed through the
brook she had forded, she was quite
confident that the captive was play-
ing her no trick, but that in due
course she should Btrike the high-
road to Ardsley which she abandoned
to throw off the duke of Ballywinkle.
It was now ten o'clock, and the
moon was sinking behind the forest
trees. Jerry took advantage of an
occasional straight strip of road to go
forward at a gallop, but these
stretches did not offer frequently, and
the two riders kept pretty steadily to
a smart trot.
As they walked their horses through
a bit of sand, the prisoner spoke;
"Who air y'u, little gal?"
Jerry turned in the saddle, so that
Appleweight enjoyed a full view of
her face.
"I am perfectly willing to tell you
my name, but first it would be moro
courteous for you to tell me yours,
particularly as I am delivering you
from a band of outlaws who undoubt-
edly intended to do you harm."
He laughed—a curious, chuckling
laugh. He had ceased to struggle at
his bonds, but seemed resigned to his
strange fate. He had not answered
Jerry's question, and had no Intention
of doing so. The sudden attack at
the church had aroused all his cun-
ning. Appleweight, alias Poteet, was
an old wolf, and knew well the ways
of the trapper; but the bold attempt
to kidnap him was a new feature of
the game as heretofore played along
the border. He did not make it out;
nor was he wholly satisfied with the
girl's explanation of her presence in
that out-of-the-way place.
He had several times called out di-
rections as they crossed other paths
in the forest, and they now reached
the main trunk road of the estate.
The red bungalow, Jerry knew, was
not far away. Her prisoner spoke
again.

In Tuesday, thus confirming reports
that the troop train which left here
Saturday was shot to pieces in the
mountain trap known as Malpalso, a
lew miles east of Pedernales and
about 120 miles west of here. The
official report states that the federals
lost twenty-one killed, ten missing and
forty-two wounded. The latter includes
Colonel Guzeman, who was in com-
mand of the expedition. The insur-
rectos' loss Is not known here.
The train left here Saturday, trav-
eling in two sections and carrying
three field pieces on a coal car and
500 soldiers. Pancho Villa, the bandit
who, while operating independently,
still regards the government as his
enemy, fired on the second section as
it was passing through the Andanya
canyon, but did no damage.
The mountains of Malpaiso, how-
ever, swarmed with revolutionists.
They halted the first and also the sec-
ond sections as they came up. Col-
onel Guzeman disembarked his troops
and for five hours defended himself
with desperate courage. He was in a
trap, however. His enemy was on the
heights, sheltered by boulders and
other protection north to the moun-
tains, aud poured in a deadly fire. He
was unable to use his big guns effec-
tively owing to the nature of the
ground. Notwithstanding his precar-
ious condition and the number of the
insurrectos, he held his ground for five
hours. He was shot through the leg,
while the third officer in command
was raked across the stomach. Al-
though General Navarro was at Ped-
ernales, or near there, he was unable
to lend assistance.

New Orleans, La.—The ship Hor-

Mexico or Honduras, was cleared Mon-
day as a merchant vessel by G. W.
Reuff, Jr., agent for the owner, whose
name is given as Joseph Beer, head
of a line of schooners now in Central

false the report that the steamer was

Captain Johnson, the master, has

ment in Nicaragua for several months
and until recently was commander of
the Nicaraguan gunboat Yula. David

The revenue cutter Davy was lashed

which she is lined.
The members of the crew are un-

To Postpone Appointment
Washington, D. C—There was an
important conference at the white
house Tuesday in vetoing Oklahoma
patronage matters In general. As ex-
pected, the marshapship for western
Oklahoma received attention. Those
who participated in the conference
were Chairman James Harris of Wag-
oner, Representative Bird S. McGuire
and C. E. Creager, Alva McDonald of
El Reno and John Appleby. McDon-
ald was an aspirant for the El Reno
postoflice, but since the endorsement
of G. Lewis for the place. McDonald
has become a receptive candidate for
marshal. Appleby haB designs on the
Hobart postoflice. Nothing official
was given out at the white house as
to the marshapship.

Washington.— In the presence of a
distinguished gathering in the little
court room. Edward Douglas White
waB Monday elevated from associate
Justice in the supreme court of the
United States to the chief justiceship.
The climax of the ceremonies oc-
curred when Associate Justice Harlan,
as Benior member of the court, admin-
istered the judicial oath. It was sub-
scribed to on the bench Itself, instead
of at the clerk's desk, as is ordinarily
the case.
Chief Justice White, while taking
the oath, held In his hand the Bible
which had been used by nearly every
chief Justice and associate justice on
Bimilar occasions in tho past century,
but unlike most of them, ho kissed the
book at the conclusion of the oath.
Because of the overwhelming mod-
esty of Chier Justice White, officials
of the court were uncertain aB to the
exact details of the ceremony of the
day until they had actually occurred,
in a general way, the broad customs at-
tending the induction into office of the
head of the court were followed.
Unlike the Inauguration of a presi-
dent as the head of the co-ordinate
branch of tho government, the induc-
tion Into office of a chief justice of the
United States has always been a com-
paratively unostentatious occasion.
Instead of an escort from the capitol
to tho white house composed of gaily
attired civic organizations and sea-
soned military commands, a new chief
justice has only his black robed breth-
ren on the bench in procession from
the robing room to the court room; in-
stead of his approach being heralded
by the loud huzzas of cheering thous-
ands, the advance to power of a new
chief justice is announced by nothing
more than the solitary toneB of the
court crier; instead of an inaugural
address outlining his policies the only
utterance of a new chief justice is the
solemn words of his oath of office.

TELEGRAPH OPERATOR REPORTS
BOOMING OF CANNON
Stories Current that RebeKs Have
Upper Hand in Last Two Days
Skirmishes
Chihuahua, Mexico—The wildest ru-
mors are current here Monday, no
doubt exaggerated In the absence of
communication with the front. Tho
rumors aB usual relate to lnsurrecto
successes, but there is no confirma-
tion, nor way of securing it.
The last authentic news came in
over railroad lines from San Antonio
Sunday afternoon. The operator said
he could hear the booming of cannon,
but could not see fighting, owing to
the lay of the land. The firing was
distant.
The passenger train which was due
here Thursday night and which was
detained near Pedernales has not yet
arrived. The passengers, owing to the
lack of food in the disaffected district
1 and the cold nights, have undoubtedly
been extremely uncomfortable, even
if left unmolested by soldiers or In-
surrectos. The telegraph wire over
the Mexico and Northwestern railroad
is Btlll down west of San Antonio, for
which reason it is impossible to ascer-
tain the true condition of affairs. An
official report yesterday stated that
fighting at San Andres last Thursday
was of minor Importance, being mere-
ly a skirmish. ,
General Hernandez, commander of
this military zone, took virtual con-
trol of the Northwestern railroad
Saturday, when, for the first time in
a month, soIdierB were put aboard a
train bound for the front. The great-
est difficulty waB experienced in se-
curing crews. The Americans who or-
dinarily run the trains declined flatly
to take the risk despite the offer of
bonuses running as high as a thous-
and dollars gold. Mexicans who de-
clined the work yesterday are report-
ed to have been placed in Jail, which
measure resulted in obtaining native
crews Sunday. Four hundred soldiers
wero loaded Into seven passenger
coaches. There was also a coarload of
women and several stock cars loaded
with horses and mules. The soldiers,
it was stated, will be UBed to guard

may be moved swiftly into the dis-
turbed district.

Director General of Posts Proposed
Washington.—The reading was be-

the revision and codification of the
postal laws. This provides for a practi-
cal reclassification of the postal ser-
vice and for the appointment of a di-
rector general of posts. The latter
would be a permanent government of-
ficial, being subject to dismissal for
cause only, and would be the practi-
cal manager of the entire postoflice de-
partment. ThiB would not dispense
with the cabinet position of the post-
master general, and the latter would
be the real head of the department,
giving his attention, however, almost
entirely to the broader questions af
feeling the department.
