GIRL LOSES SUIT
TO ENTER SCHOOL
Was Charged That She Had
Negro Blood In Her
Veins.
Asheville. N. C„ Aug. 6.—The cose of
18-year-old Mary Evans against the
school board of Swayne county. North
Carolina, which has caused widespread
Ipterest because of the prominence, of
the family Involved, has been decided
against Miss Evans. The jury rendered
Its decision within three minutes after
the conclusion of the hearing of the
ease. The claim Was made against the
plaintiff that she should be debarred
from attending the white schools, It
being alleged that she had negro blood
In her veins.
It was shown at the trial that Miss
Evans was a direct descendant of the
families of Graham and Grimes, and
that her ancestors were among the
pioneer settlers of the state. It was
claimed by the Grahams that this suit
was the rosutt of "spite" and grew out
of an old grudge held against them
by some of their neighbors, who based
their claim of "negro blood" on the
fact that some of the Grahams were
of Portuguese origin. There are hun
dreds of descendants of this family
throughout the state, nnd In order to
forbver establish their white suprema
cy, Judge Cook ordered that all de
scendants be made parties to the suit.
Scores of children, pretty young wom
en and aged veterans tilled the court
room and were ordered by Judge Cook
to march In line before the jury.

CHAPTER XVIII—Concluded.
Seizing fils cousin by the shoulder,
he dragged him to S spot a few yards
distant, where a triangular pillar and
wall of concrete broadened the narrow
cut Into a wider passage.
Saved From Death,
As they pressed close against the
wall of the second spur an oval-shaped
car that almost tilled .the passage they
had ju« left shot by at lightning speed.
No space for the shrinking of a hu
man body between Its sides and the
wall was left, and Instant and horrible
death wonld have been their fate, but
for the alertness of the elder cousin
and his knowledge of the tunnel’s uses
nnd Intricacies.
"That Is one of the government mall
cars," explained Frank, "carrying mall
from the main office to one of the
branch stations for distribution. They
stop for nothing down here.”
Different from any tunnel, artificial
or natural, that he had seen, It seemed
to extend Interminably In every direc
tion from the cross bore In which they
stood. Standing erect he could easily
touch the celling with his finger tips,
while In the spurs the bore was little
higher than his head.
Through each tunnel trolley wires
shaped passageways and single tracl
of rails In the spurs broadened to dou
ble lines In the main tunnel.
Electric lights clustered at the cross
tunnels,- brilliantly Illuminated the pass- — _ „
ngeways for a abort distance where the plenty of your own to
chief he handed to Reginald. He twist
ed his knife Inside the other; then the
two men shrank back Into the shadow
of the projecting partition of the tun
nel.
Detective -Sheehan came alotlg look
ing puxzled at not seeing the men. As
he came abreast of the cousins, Frank
sprang out and attempted to force the
gag Into hts mouth, but Sheehan was
up In a moment, and Frank saw he had
no mean antagonist wltn which to cope.
"This Is no time for squeamishness.”
he muttered, and In a moment he had
used with Sheehan the old deadly
wrestling trick.
Sheehan was helpless In Frank's
grip. Frank had not used the full force
of the trick, for he had not wished to
hurt Sheehan, only to keep him from
following them.
He motioned to Reginald,. who had
still kept In the shadow, to throw him
the neckcloth and handkerchief. Then
he' quickly stuffed the gag In Shee
han's mouth, tied the handkerchief
about his eyes, bound his hands and
dragged him a few feet away from the
socret door.
He made a dash for the door, pressed
the spring, threw Reginald Inside and
shut It, Just as Sheehan, bound and
gagged as he was, had flung himself
forward with a running leap against
the wall of the tunnel.
"That was a close shave,” said Frank.
"Luckily for us he did not strike the
door until we had closed It. He may
suspect that there Is a secret entrance,
but he will not be able to And IL”
"Is. he hurt?" asked Reginald fear
fully. "Won’t It be dangerous to leave
him there alone.
■’Oh, no," said Frank, “he Is not hurt,
and the watchman will soon walk along
down the spur and find him. Don’t

on the walla from which no sound re'

The cousins Walked on through the
innel, being compelled to spring to the
Ider passages whenever the mall cars
or the trolley* with sightseeing pas
sengers whizzed by.
"We nre now under the Natural His

once, and later he vouchsafed the In
formation that they were standing be
neath the Mount Slnat Hospital.
It was while they were standing at
an Intersection away up beyond the

chaptIr XIX.
Detectives on Watch.
Reginald felt Frank's grip tighten
on his arm. "Don't act frightened,"
Frank hissed Into hie ear. "Walk along
with me as If you hnd noticed nothing.”
Long afterward Frank said that all
through that walk through the tunnel
he felt as If he were walking to the
gallows. He knew that Detective Shee-
hnn was watching every movement. He
knew that Reginald’s disguise hnd not
doceived the eagle-eyed detective. He
expected every moment to see Sheehan's
hand laid upon Reginald’s shoulder and
to hear the voice of the officer saying.
You nre under arrest.” But he knew
well that the warrant for Reginald was
In the hands of Blttlnger, who was still
watching the house they had left.
He counted on Sheehan’s reluctance
to arrest a man In the company of a
well-known lawyer unless he had a
warrant In hie pocket. But he felt
sure that Sheehan would never let them
leave town without arrest.
All he could count upon was the de
tective's helplessness, doing his duty
In so public a way.
The two cousins walked on nnd on.
Frank's fertile brain was busy with
schemes for eluding the watchfulness
of Detective Sheehan.
Finally they reached a corner near
the goal Frank waa scheming for, an
other new epur of the tunnel not yet
opened to traffic.
Frank exhibited hie paaa to the
watchman who guarded IL and the two
cousin* walked heastlly down the spur,
which wae only partly lighted. Detec
tive Sheehan was not far behind him,
but his parley with the watchman de
layed him long enough to enable Frank
and Reginald to get out of sight In the
dim light.
"Hurry, Reginald!" whispered.Frank
hoarsely. ’’We must reach the other
door." He stopped his cousin short by
the side of the wall. To Reginald’s
eyes It looked exactly like the other
side of the wall of the tunnel. Rut he
had experienced Frank’s resourceful
ness, and he expected to see the wall
open at hi* touch, but he was destined
to disappointment.
As Frank turned to open the spring
of the secret door he saw Detective
Sheehan walking rapidly toward them.
“Reginald," he said sternly, “your life
and liberty depend upon your watch
fulness In the next few moments.
"Stand Just where you are. nnd be
ready to sprt:ig Inside when I tell you
to. In the meantime hand me these
things when I reach for them.”

He whipped off his own cravat and
Reginald's and a large handkerchief.

The two cousins were standing In a
closet-llke space, almost exactly simf
lar to th* one from which they had
entered the tunnel. •
A flight <of stair* led up from It. By
the aid of Frank's pocket electric light
they climbed the steps, finding them'
selves In another closet at the top.
Frank touched a spring again, the
panel slipped open nnd they stepped
Into a, quaint old-fashioned bed room.
"This Is my own little house," said
Frank.
s In Hit Own House,
The other one was my father's, but
this la my own. I had It built myself
In order to test my own ability to con
struct the secret passages that the
Rracebrldge* ought to know. There
are three of these passages In the Unit
ed States today—one here, one from
which you have Just come, and one In
your father's house on the Sound."
"One there7” said Reginald; "I never
knew that.”
It was not Intended that you should
know until you are older,” said Frank.
They rused down through the empty
rooms, out of the rear door and acr
the lawn Into a summer house that
stood there.
Frank lifted up a rug which disclosed
a trap door beneath. "This whole place
Is honeycombed with secret passages,”
he said.
Reginald followed him down the steps
and through a narrow tunnel until they
cams to a big door, which Frank un
bolted.
"There are no springs to this am
trance," said Frank. "People see the
door here, but do not know what It Is
for. They never dream that It Is con'
nected with my grounds.”
He locked the door after him and
preceded Reginald to a boat house on
the bench.
Here Is the beauty that will carry ns
to our journey of safety," he said,
throwing open a lid and showing i
beautiful motor boat of a most lm
proved pattern.
"I am glad that the lake Is smooth
tonight,” said Frank,
The cousins dragged the boat to the
beach and launched It. Reginald seat'
ed himself In the bow. Frank took the
motor and started Its mechanism.
"Now for safety,” he exclaimed.
The words were frozen on his lips.
"Hands up, or I shoot," called a voles
from the shore.
