Newspaper Page Text8 "THENET” Copyrighted, 1912, by Rex Beach. (Continuation of Chapter XU.) October had come; the lazy heat ot summer had passed and New Orleans was awakening under its magic winter climate. The piny, breeze-swept Quit resorts hnd emptied their summer colo nies citywards; the social season had begun. The preparations for the great Feb ruary carnival were nearing completion and Blake had the satisfaction of know -ng that Myra Nell Warren was to realise her heart's desire. He had forced a loan upon Bernie sufllctent to met the requirements of any queen, and had spent several delightful even ings with the girl herself, amused by her plat s of royal conquest. It was like a tonic to be with her. Norvin invariably parted from her with a feeling of optimism and a gayety quite reasonless; he had no fears, no apprehensions; the universe was peo pled with sprites and fairies, the mor row was a glad adventure full of mer riment and promise. He was in precisely such a mood one drizzly Wednesday night after having cade an inexcusably long call upon her Nothing whatever had occurred to put him in this agreeable humor, yet he went homeward humming as blithely as a barefoot boy in springtime. As he neared the neighborhood in which Donnelly lived he decided to drop in on him for a few moments and smoke i cigar. Business had lately kept im away from the chief, and he felt a bit guilty. But Donnelly had either retiree early or else he had not returned from head quarters. for his windows were dark, and Norvin retraced his steps, a trifle disap pointed. Iff front of a cobbler's shop, across the street, several men were talk ing. nad as he glanced in their direction the door behind him opened, allowing a stream of light to pour forth. He recog nised Larubino. the old Italian shoemaker himself, and he was on the point of in quiring if Donnelly had come home but thought better of it. Lerubino and his companions w<re idling beneath the wooden awning or shed which extended over the sidewalk, and in the open doorway, briefly silhoutted against the yellow light, Blake noted a man clad in a shining rubber coat. Although the picture was fleeting, it caught his atten tion. The thought occurred to him that these men were Italians, and therefore possi ble Mafiosi, but his mood was too opti mistic to permit of sily surpicions. To night the Mafia seemed decidedly unreal and indefinite. He found himself smiling again at the memory of an argument in which he had been worsted by Myra Nell. He had taken her a most elaborate box of choco lates and she had gleefully promised to consume at least half of them that very night after retiring. He had remon strated at such an unhygienic procedure, whereupon she had confessed to a secret, ungovernable habit of eating candy in bed. He had argued that the pernicious $3.50 Recipe Free For Weak Men Send Name and Address Today—You Can Have It Free and Be Strong and Vig orous.

A Story of Love, Adventure and Mystery By BEACH ipraetic? was sure to wreck her digestion and ruin her teeth, but she had confound ed him utterly by displaying twin rows as sound as pearls, as white and regular as rice kernels. Her digestion, he had tv confess, was that of a Shetland pony, and breathed ecstatic blessings upon his name. Near the corner e stumbled over a boy hiding in the shadows. Then, as he turned north on Rampart street, he ran plump into oDnnelly and O’Connell. “I just came from your house,” he told Dan. “I thought I d drop in and smoke one of your bad cigars. Is there anything new?” "Not much. I've had a hard dav and there was a police board meeting tonigni. I'm fagged out.” . "No more letters; eh?” “No. But Ive heard that Sabella is safe in Sicily. That means his finish. I'll have something else to tell you in a day or so; something about your other friend. Card!” “No! Really!” “It what I suspect Is true, it’ll be a sensation.l can't credit the thing myself, that's why I don't want to say anything just yet. I'm ail up in the air over it" A moment later the three men had sep arated, Donnelly and O'Connell turning toward their respective homes. Blake continuing is way toward the heart of the city. But the chief's words had upset Nor vin’s complacency’. His line of thought was changed and he found himself once more dwelling upon the tragedy which had left such a mark upon his life. Mar tel had been the finest, the cleanest fel low he had ever known; his life, so full of promise, had just begun, and yet he had been ruthlessly stricken down. Nor vin shuddered at the memory. He saw the road to Martinello stretching out ahead of him like a ghost-gray canyon, walled with gloom; he the creaking of saddles, and muffled thud of hoofs in the dust of the causeway, the song of a lover, then— Blake halted suddenly, listening. From somewhere not far away came the sound again; it was a gunshot, deadened by the blanket of mist and drixxle that shrouded the streets. He turned. It was repeated for a third time, and as he realized from whence it came he cried out z affrightedly; “Donnelly! Donnelly! Oh, God!” Then be began to run swiftly, as he had run that night five years before, with the lights of Terranova in the distance, and in his heart was that same sickening, horrible terror. But this time he ran, not away from the sound, but toward it. As he raced the slippery streets the night air was ripped again and again with those same loud reverberations. He saw by the flickering arc lamp above the crossing where he had just left Donnel ly another figure flying toward him, and recognized O'Connell. Together they turned into Girod street. They were in time to see a flash from the shed that stood in front of Laru bio's shop, then an answering spurt of flame from the side of the street upon which they were. The place was full of noise and smoke. At the farther cross ing a man in a shining rubber coat knelt and fired, then rose and scurried into the darkness beyond. Figures broke cut from the shadows of the wooden awning In front of Larubio’s shop and followed, some turning toward the left at Basin street, the others continuing on through the crea lighted by the sput tering street light and into the night. One of them paused and looked back as if loath to leave the spot until certain of his work. Side by side Blake and O'Connell rac ed toward the chief, whom they saw lurching uncertainly along the ban quette ahead of them. The detective was cursing; Blake sobbed through his tight clenched teeth. Donnelly was down when they reached him and his empty revolver lay by his side Norvin raised him with shaking arms, his whole body sick with horror. “Are you badly hit. old man?” he gasped. “I’m done for!” said the chief weakly. “And the dagos did it.” Irorn an open window above them a woman began to scream loudly: “Murder! . Murder!" The cry was taken up in other quar ters and went echoing down the street. Doors were flung wide, gates slammed, men came hurrying through the wet night hurling startled questions at each other, but the powder smoke which hung sluggishly in the dark night air was sufficient answer. It floated in thin blue layers beneath the electric lights, grad ually fading and melting as the life eb bed from the mangled body of Dan Don nelly. It was nearing dawn when Norvin Blake emerged from the hospital whith er Donnelly had been taken. The air was dead heavy, a dripping winding sheet of fox wrapped the city in its folds, no sound .broke the silence of the hour. He was sadly shaken, for he had watched a brave soul pass out of the light, and in his ears the words of his friend were ringing: "Don’t let them get away with this. Norvin. You’re the only man I trust.” CHAPTER XIII. Th* Blood of His Ancestors At the Central station Norvin found a great confusion. City officials and newspaper men were coming and going, telephones were ringing, patrolmen and detectives, summoned from their beds, were reporting and receiving orders; yet all this bustling activity affected him with a kind of angry impatience. It seemed somehow perfunctory and in adequate; in the intensity of his feel ing. he doubted that anyone else realized, as he did, the full significance of what had occurred. As quickly as possible he made his way to O’Neil, the assistant superln- ■aged in YOU IN WOOD g |OLD KENTUCKY RYES L, WHISKEY J fl This Is not strong, firey, new whfs- Ikey but contains the best six year old Kentucky Rye.

GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912. tendent of police, who was deep in con sultation with Mayor Wright. For a moment, he stood listening to their talk, and then at th c first pause, inter posed without ceremony. “Tell me—what is being done?” O'Neil, who had not seemed to note his approach, answered without a hint of surprise at the interruption; “We ar e dragging the city.” “Os course. Have you arrested La rubio, thc cobbler?” “No!” Both men turned to Blake now with concentrated attention. "Then don’t lose a moment's time. Arrest all his friends and associates, book for a man in a rubber coat. I saw him fire. There's a boy, too,” he added, after a moment’s pause, "about fourteen years old. He was hiding at the corner. I think he must have been their picket, at any rate he knjws something.” The assistant superintendent no’ed these directions and listened impassive ly while Norvin poured forth his st>.ry of the murder. Before it was fairly concluded he was summoned elsewhere, and turning away abruptly, he left toe room, like a man who knows he must think of but one thing' at a time. The young man, wiping his face with un certain hand, turned to the mayor. "Dan was the second friend I've seen murdered by these devils,” he said, "I d like to do something.” “We’ll need your help, If it was real ly the dagoes.” “What? There's no doubt on that score. Donnelly was warned.” “Well, we ought to have them under arrest in short order.” “And then what? They've probably arranged their alibis long ago. The fellows who did the shooting are not the only ones, either. We must get th e leaders.” "Exactly. O'Neil understands." “But he'll fail, as Donnelly failed." “What would you have us do?” Blake spoke excitedly, his emotions finding a vent. "Do? I’d rouse the people. Awaken the city. Create an uprising of the law-ab ding. Strip the courts of their red tape and administer justic e with a rope. Hang the guilty ones at once, before delay robs their execution of its effect, and before there is time to breed doubts and distrust In th e minds of the people.’ “You mean in plain words —lynch them?” . „ "Well, what of that? It’s the only—„ “But, my dear young man, the law— ’ “Oh, I know what you're going to say, well enough, yet there are times when mob-law is justified. If these men are not destroyed quickly they will live to laugh at our laws and our scheme of justice. We must strike ter ror into the heart of every foreign born criminal; we must clean the city with fire, unless we wish to see our Institutions become a mockery and our community overridden by a band of cutthroats. The killing of Dan Donnel ly is more than a mere murder; it !s an attack on our civilization.” "You are carried away by your per sonal feelings.” "I think not. If this thing tuns through the regular channels, what will happen? You know how hard it is to convict those people. We must fight fire with fire." “Personally, I agree with a good deal you say; officially, of course, I can’t go so far. You say you want to help. Will you assume a large responsibility? Will you take the lead in the popular government to help the enforcement of the law—organize a committee?” “If you think I am the right man?” “Good. Understand,” the mayor spoke with rather more force than conviction, “we must have no lynchings; but I be lieve the police will need help in the search and I think you are the man to stir up the public conscience and se cure that aid. If you can help in ap prehending the criminals, we shall seq that the courts do their part. I can trust you in so delicate a matter where I couldn't trust—some others.” O'Neil appeared at that moment with two strong objects in his hands. "See what we’ve just found on the Basin street banquette?” He displayed a pair of sawed-off shot guns, the stocks of which were hinged In such a manner that the weapons could be doubled into a length of perhaps eighteen inches and thus be concealed upon the person. Blake examined them with mingled feelings. Having seen the body of the chief ripped and torn in twenty places by buckshot, slugs and scraps of iron, he had tried to imagine what sort of firearms had been used. Now he knew and he began to wonder whether death would come to him in the same ugly form. “Have you sent for Larubio?” he asked. "The men are just leaving.” “I’ll go with them.” O’Neil intercepted the officer at the door, and a moment later Norvin was hurrying with them towards Girod street. Mechanically his mind began to review the events leading up to the murder, dwelling on each detail with painful and fruitless persistence. He re pictured the scene that his eye had so swiftly and so carelessly recorded; he saw again the dark shed, the dumb group of figures idling beneath it, the open door and the flood of yellow light behind. But when lie strove to re call a single face or form, or even the precise number of persons, he was at a loss. Nothing stood out distinctly but the bearded face of Larubio, the sil houette of a man in a gleaming rubber coat, and, a moment later, a slim strip ■ ling boy, crouched in the shadows near the corner. As the party turned into Girod street, he saw by the first streaks of dawn that the curious had already begun to assemble. A dozen or more men were morbidly examining the scene, re-enact ing the assassination and tracing the course of bullets by the holes in wall and fence—no difficult matter since the ground where Donnelly had given battle had been swept by a fusillade. Larubio’s shop was dark. The officers tried the door quietly, then at a signal from Norvin they rushed It. The next instant the three men found themselves in an evil-smell tng room furnished with a bench, some broken chairs, a Hitter of tools and shoes and leather findings. It was untenanted, but seeing another door ahead of him, Blake stumbled towards it over the debris. Like thc outer door it was barred, but yielded to his shoul der. It was well that the policemen were close upon his heels, for they found him locked in desperate conflict with a huge, half-naked Sicilian who fought with the silent wickedness of a wolf at bay. The chamber was squalid and odor ous; a tumbled couch from which the occupant, had leaped showed that he had been calmly sleeping upon the scenes of his crime. Through the dimltt tilth of the place, the eobbler whirled them, struggling like a man insane. A table fell with a crash of dlslies, a stove was wrecked, a chair smashed; then he was pinned writhing to the beU from which he had just arisen. "Close the front door—quick!” Nor vin panted. “Keep out the crowd.” One of the policemen dashed to the front of the hovel, barely in time to bar the way. "Larubio, as he crouched there in the half light, manacled but defiant, made a striking figure. He was a patriarchal man. His hairy, naked chest rose and fell as he fought for ST. JOSEPH'S com DESTROVED BI FUMES One Hundred Girls Escape in Safety Through Heroism of Brave Nuns (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) WASHINGTON. Ga.. Nov. 20. —St. Joseph’s academy, the largest Catholic institution in the stale, was destroyed by lire here early this morning. One hundred young girls escaped through blinding smoke. The flames were first discovered by one of the sisters, who quickly gave the alarm and rushed to the rescue of the girls. The property loss has not been esti mated. The fact-that there was no loss of life was due to the heroic work of the sisters of the convent, who quickly gave the alarm and succeeded in getting the 100 or more girls out of the build ing. y ■*- The Are is said to have originated in the furnace room of the dormitory. Girls from every part of the south are among the students enrolled. The following girls are from Atlanta: Miss Elizabeth Miller, of Central avenue; Miss Helen Sharp, Miss Dorothy Bailey, Miss Leta Bricken, Miss Mildred Sault and Miss Thompson. his breath, a thick beard grew high upon his cheeks lending dignity to his fierce aquiline features, a tangled mass of iron gray hair hung low above his eyes. He looked more like an Arab sheik than a beggarly Sicilian shoe maker. "Why are you here?" he questioned in a deep voice. ) Blake answered him in his own lan guage: "You killed the Chief of Police." “No. I had no part—” “Don’t lie!” "As God is my judge, I am Innocent. 1 heard the shooting* I looked out into the night and saw men running about. I was frightened, so I went to bed. That is all." Nonyin undertook ,to stare him down. \ "You will hang for this, Larubio,” he said. The fierce gray eyes met his unflnichingly. "You had a hand in the killing, for I saw you. But you acted against your will. Am I right?” Still the patriarch flung back his glance defiantly. "You were ordered to kill and you dared not disobey. Where is Belisario Cardui?” -tie old man started. Into his eyes for the briefest Instant there leaped a look of terror, then it was gone. “I do not know what you are talking about,” he answered. "Come! The man with the rubber coat has confessed.” Larubio’s gaze roved uncertainly about his squalid quarters, but he shook his head, mumbling. "Go 1 , will protect the innocent. I know nothing, your Excellency.” They dragged him, still protesting, from his den as dogs drag an animal from its burrow. But Norvin had learned something. That momentary wavering glance, that flitting light of doubt and fear had told him, that to the cobbler the name of Cardui meant some thing real and terrible. Back at headquarters, O’Neil had fur ther information for. him. "We’ve got Larubio’s brother-in-law, Gaspardo Cressi. It was his son, no doubt, whom you saw waiting at the corner.” “Have you found the boy?” “No, he’s gone.” "Then make haste before they have time to spirit him away. These men won’t talk, but we might squeeze some thing out of the boy. He’s the weakest link in the chain, so you must find him.” The morning papers were on the street when Norvin went home. New Orleans had awakened to the outrage against her good name. Men were grouped upon corners, women were gossiping from house to house, the air was sur charged with a great excitement. It was as if a public enemy had been dis covered at the gates, as if an alien foe had struck while the city slept. That un formed foreign prejudice which had been slowly growing had crystallized in a single night. (Continued in next issue.) AGENTS: $5 Someihind New—A World Beatei £ A want one men or women it „ .

FLORIDA STHHI OF FARLEY» PUT TO SEVERE TEST State Endeavors to Prove That Her Version of Shooting Is Tangled (By Associated Press.) COLUMBUS, O„ Nov. 20. —Cecelia Farley, the former state house steno grapher, on trial, charged with the mur der of Alvin E. Zollinger, was to re sume her dramatic narrative of the shooting today. It was on open ques tion whether siie would corroborate thc testimony of a woman detective to the effect that Miss Farley, while in jail, said she confessed that she shot Zoll inger to protect her fiance, Jerome Quigley. Shortly after Miss Farley and Quig ley were arrested Miss Farley told Chief Carter that she shot Zollinger. Early in the trial the defense attemtped to prove that she made this confession under pressure when she was led to believe that Quigley, whom she was engaged to marry, was likely to be held for the shooting. A woman detective from Cleveland testified that Miss Farley told her, while in jail, that she made the confession to protect Quigley. Yesterday Miss Farley testified that the shooting w r as accidental. The test of Miss Farley’s story Is expected to come today, w’hen she is submitted to a gruelling cross-examina tion by Prosecutor Turner. The state will endeavor to entangle her, the only witness to the shooting, concerning de tails. Hundreds of women were anxious to hear the remainder of the young wom an’s testimony and crowded into the court room when the doors were thrown open today.

The association will erect a me morial on the parkway marking the scene of Mr. Sherman’s last public ap- EDUCATIONAL TALK No. 3 WHEN I assumed management of the busi ness founded by my father, I gave my word that his high-minded, honorable methods would be continued —that I would expose Jraud in every quarter —fight deception and dishonesty with all my might—keep my business above reproach. This advertisement is in fulfillment of that promise. By reason of the continual emphasis of “proof" in the advertisements of mail order* whiskey concerns, the public has almost come to accept “proof” as an indication of quality. To correct this error, and protect the public from impo sition, I want to tell you, in the strongest language at my com mand, that proof does not indicate quality— and show you why. Most people know that “proof” means alcoholic strength —that whiskey containing 50 per cent, alcohol is “100 proof„ what they don't know is that whiskey may be “100 proof' and still be so raw, impure, fiery and dangerous as to be absolutely unfit for use. The reason is this: An unreliable distiller can (and does) use spoiled or “sweated” grain in making his whiskey, because he can buy it at a fraction of what No. 1 grain would cost. Hethen proceeds to “graft” his mash by means of chemicals —a process that abstracts the last lingering drop of alcohol from the grain—and allows him to advertise his pro duct as “100 proof* BUT WHAT ABOUT THE QUALITY? You know as well as I do that good whiskey can’t be made from that kind of grain—it is bound to be musty, moul dy and impure, because the materials were bad. Quality in whiskey is secured only by the use of selected ripe grain—grain that grades No. 1 and brings top price— carefully and scientifically distilled without “squeezing” or “grafting” the mash, and thorough aging in charred oak casks in Government Bonded Warehouses. Whiskey made in this manner is medicinally and chem ically Pure —rich, mellow, palatable and beneficial. Don’t permit yourself to be fooled by this cry of “proof* —better send your order to a house with a reputation to sustain—a house that is known to sell only goods of high qual ity —a house that never attempts to sidestep an obligation, and that conducts its business in an honorable, straightfor ward manner. 1 ' HONEST WHISKIES Following is the lowest price per gallon, express prepaid, at which pure honest whiskies can be sold: CORN RYE Good Whiskey—Mountain Dew $2.50 per gallon Winkles $2.50 per gallon Better Whiskey—Old Georgia 3.00 “ “ Cabinet 3.00 “ • ,** Best Whiskey—Forefather - - 4.00 “ “ Purity 4.00 “, “ Express prepaid to Adams and Southern Express points.
