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.

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.

"Concrete; eighteen Inchee thick.' plained Frank briefly, Os he tappet on the walla from which no sound re' turned. 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 tnry Museum," Frank told Reginald 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 Harlem river that Reginald grasped Frank's arm and whispered; "Does that man know you, Frank, or Is he watch ing mef* Frank turned to lpok Into the eyes of Detective Sergeant Sheehan, one of the shrewdest plain clothes men In the city. 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.” Traps Detective. He whipped off his own cravat and Reginald's and a large handkerchief. On* of the cravat* and the bandker- 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.
