In'a great metropolis where an army of police guards are maintained day and night, roving bands ’ of reckless and for the most part unhindered -crim- inals, rob and loot and slay. It is a daily occur- rence—or rather daily and nightly, both. The disappearance of the young school teacher at Jeast furnishes a “story” with a ‘mystery. She goes shopping, retuims to ber hotel, goes for lunch and then completely disappears as if the earth ‘had opened and swallowed her, - Pnhce and detectives are ‘baffled. Yet behind the girl's dmppunnca, the public has a good idea of what happened. It doesn’t take & Sherlock . Holmes to form plausible deductions. The young woman ventures forth alone and unpro- tédcted on a thug-lined street. ' When one reads’of the perils ind pMulh that beset people these days, it is only the greater won- der that so many actually do “escape. -Students of history say.that this period of wild "dineglrd for law and order is the nltnnl conse- quernice of every great war. ‘Whatever its-cause, it ‘is here and the qulcker it is put in cold storage, the better. ‘From the peaceful confines of this big-sticked neck 'o’: the woods, we would say that when the residents of metropolitan centers: finally decide that.the.:blood.. and thunder stuff has gone far enough there will be:sudden and certain reformation on the part of young men who guzzle moonshine and commit mur- der as if it were the commonest of pastimes. - “TEN NIGHTS IN A BAR.-ROOM' AT REX THEATER TONIGHT Movie fans and those who are fond of the classics of the American stage are in for a treat when the famous old melodrama, “Ten Nights in a Bar- room,” is shown at the Rex theater tonight. This famous old play has been made into a 'super special. The story of “‘Ten Nights in a Bar-room” is familiar to almost everyone, as it “pjoyed a great success both as a ovel and play. It has been on the boards for over sixty years and is said to have played in every city and town' in the country. “THE GUTTERSNIPE"” AT THE Following an in a lighter vein. . ness district in good order. . 1t isn’t any credit to.the country or any particu- - m;l'min.u DAILY PIONEER - lar city that these crimes can go on unchecked. % ‘There was a time when stealing horses was a cus- ° tom in the West.

CHAPTER XVI “He.Killed Your Father.” Alan ran aft along -the starboard side, catching at'the rall as the deck tlited ; the sounds within the hull and the tremors following each sound came to him more distinctly as he ad- vanced. Taking the shortest way to the car deck, he turned into the cabins to reach the passengers’ companion- way. The noises from the(car deck, no longer muffled’ by ‘the cabins, clanged and resounded in terrible tumult; with the clang and rumble of metal rose shouts and roars of men. To liberate and throw overboard heavily loaded cars from an endan- gered ship was 8o, desperate an under- taking and so certain to' cost life that men attempted it only in final extremi- ties, when the ship must be lightened '| at any cost. " Alad had never segn the effect of such an. attempt, but he bad heard of it as the fear ‘which sat al- ways. on the hearts of the men who navigate the ferries—the cars loose on a rolling, lurching ship! He was going to that now. The car deck was a pitch- ing, swaylng slope; the .cars nearest him were still upon their tracks, but they tilted and 8wayed uglily from side to ‘side; the jacks ‘were gone from un- der them; the next cars already were hurled: from the rails, ‘their wheels screaming on the;steel deck, clanging and thudding ‘together in their couplings. Alan ran aft between them. 'All the crew who could be called from deck and ,engine room and. firehold were strug- gling at the fantall, under the direction of the captain, to throw: off. the cars. The mate was working as one'of the men, and with him was Benjamin' Cor- vet.” The crew already must have loos- ened and thrown over the stern’ three cars from the twe'tracks on the port side; for there was a‘ space vacant; and as a.car:chdrged into that space and the men- threw ' themselves upon } it,- Alan ‘leaped‘‘with them, 1t was a-flat car laden with steel beams.

A cheer rose as the car peared. already was back among the cars again, shouting orders; the mate and the men who had followed him before them to throw ‘ropes and chains to ‘bind the loads which were letting go; the heavier' loads—steel beams, cast- ings, machinery—snapped their lash- ings, tipped from their flat cars and; thundered down' the deck, The cars Corvet Already Was Back Among the, Cars Aunln!

It was not pity’ which stirred him now for Benjamin Corvet ; nor was it bitterness; but it certainly was not contempt. . Of all the ways in which he had fancied finding Benjamin Corvet, he- had never mougm of seeing hlm like this! It was, probably, only for a flash; but the great quality.of leadership which he had once possessed, which Sherrill had. described ‘to'. Alan. and ‘which had been destroyed by the threat over him, had returned to'him in this desperate emergerncy. which he had ¢re- ated. How much or how little of ‘his own condition Corvet understood, Alan could ‘not tell; it.was plain only that he comprehended that he had been the cause of the’ catastrophe, and in his fierce will to: repair it he not only dis- regarded all risk to himself; he also had summoned up from withln him and was spending the last strength’ of-his spirit. .But he was spending it In . losing fight.
