He was cooler and calmer than any of those about him, and he appar- ently had no Intention of allow- ing Clark and his financee to ¢s- cape. Behind them echoed the scream € the girl, fleeing down the corrt or, alarming the house. Renard was the first to break the ominous silence that followed Clark's demand that he step aside. He addressed the Hindu and the trembling guard, “So is the way my orders are Qe. he snarled. “I arrive here © find you allo’ is thig man and the girl to leave.” He turned to Clark, “Clark,” be said, “it is no use. You are my prisoner, You can’t get out of here. Put down that sun.” Clark ground his teeth. Anger flamed within him and gaye him new courage. He stood at the door to Nberty. He would not have it snatched away. Behind meant death, probably torture, . loss of Marian. He replied evenly, cooly, his words crisp and sharp. “Renard, I am going to kill you!’ . said. “I give you one chance for our life. Step aside. Step axide or I fire.” The Hindu shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Clark glanced at him. “Another move Ifke that and I will kill you,” he said, Renard stubborniy held his port Bt the door. He knew that the gir! had given the alarm; even now noise of a commotion down the hall and Over the house could be heard. Clark waited a second for Ren- ard to obey, then pulled the trig- ger. Thete was a blinding flash and s deafening report. Renard had leaped at him, but he re coiled at the shot and tumbled heavily to the floor. The Hindu ané the guard leaped upon Clark. Clark whirled Marian to his sido, and, clear of their attack, pumped the gun at his attackers. Thru the smoke he saw. both erouch to the floor to escape the bullets, The door was open.

And then, when dawn came, they heard 4 motor far down the read, coming nearer and nearer. They walked out upon the high way and stood there, watching the |headlights of the approaching car | grow larger and larger. They were miles from the road: jhouse. They were cold and hungry Clark feared that Marian was suf fering trom the chill of the night fatigue and the excitement. He wa afraid she might collapse, Here was a chance of hailing @ machine bound for the elty. ‘They would take it. Surely the pursuit must have been aban- doned by now, Clark stood in the center of tha read and raised his arm, The car wus stopped within a few feet o them. Ciark,stepping back to Mar-| tan's side, his band on the gun tn his pocket, scrutinized the car’s oc cupants carefully, Tt was.a-large closed car and there were three persons in tt—the driver and a man and a woman. “Wil you give us a ‘lift into Se. attle or to the end of the nearest car line?” asked Clark. “We have met with an accident.” ‘The man in the rear seat threw open the door, saying: “We will be glad to take you into the city.” Clark helped Marian into the car and followed her. ‘The woman in the rear seat exclaimed with concern at sight of Marian. “Poor child’ she sald. “You are im.” “What was it?’ asked the man. “An auto ‘nceident.” “Yes,” replied Clark. He did not wish to go Into details or to recount his experiences here. The car moved forward. It leaped into high speed. The rocky hills flashed by. Clark felt safe, The couple were middle-aged, or past, evidently persons of refine ment, probably a business man and his wife living down the peninsula and returning from a week-end at their country place. Clark relaxed. Marian leaned heay- ily on his shoulder. “Poor little girl!” he sald. At that moment ho felt a band of steel snapped about his wrist and his gun arm was twisted tight to his side, (Continued tomorrow) OF THE NO. 4—OPEN YOUR ADVENTURES Olive Roberts Barton TWINS a MOUTH AND SHUT YOUR EYES “Please gimme 3 cents worth of honey—no, gimme 10 cents worth,’* said Johnny Bear as he waddled Into the fanny little store in the woods. “Certainly,” said Mister Bags, obliging! You get it for him, Nancy. I’m busy,” Nancy got a big spoon and went to the big jar where the honey was kept and took off the lid. The kind of honey that Mister Bags sold didn't vome in neat wooden boxes, He had to dig it out of trees and so he kept it the best way he could. “Did you bring anything to carry home in?'’ asked Nancy, “Tee, hee, hee!" giggled Johnny Bear. “Of course I did, Here it is, Just put it in.” And he opened his month ns wide as he could, showing all his teeth and his Mttle bright red tongue. “Oh, all right,” laughed Nancy hopping up on a #todl. -“Come real close now. Open your mouth and shut your eyes and Vit give you something to make you wise.’ So Johnny came as close as he could get, and shut his eyes hard and opened his mouth even wider than ever, and Nancy took a big spoon and dropped 10 cents worth ¢ delicious honey right down his roat, M-mo-m!

I just came fn and said to Mister Bags, ‘Please give me 10 cents worth of honey,’ and he said, ‘Certainly.’, And after while I said to Nancy, ‘Please gimmo another 10 cents worth,’ and she sald, ‘Certain. ly!’ They gave it to me, you see, Don’t you think they were kind!’ Mister Bage sputtered until he could hardly get his breath. “After this I'll do like the Piéman did with Simple Simon. I'll say, ‘Show me first your penny!” “Jounny didn’t need any honey to make him wise,’ laughed Nancy, Ho was wiser than we were to be gin with.” “I don't know what you're all talking about,” sald Johnny crosely. “Will you please give me another 10 cents worth of honey, Mister Bago?’ “No, slrt’ shouted the falryman, “1 will not?’ (fo Be Continued) (Copyright, 1924, Seattle Stan “y I I sold you 20 cents “We'lt) gpt out of this, And} * geld Clark, | CAPPY RICKS «x.

What Our Foreign-Language Newspapers Think of TION RESTRICTION Indignation, Bitterness, Resentment, Approval, Mark the Utterances of These Spokesmen for the Foreign - Born on the New Immigation Policy of America No legislation before Congress has aroused more criticism, pro and con, than the John- son Immigration Bill, the outstanding feature of which cuts the number of immigrants to be admitted to American shores to less than half of the present quota. To obtain the views of those most directly concerned; i.e., the nationalities affected, THE LITERARY DIGEST canvassed the editors of foreign-language newspapers in the United States for their views. As an illustration of the scope of the inquiry, THE DIGEST, this week presents trans- lated opinions from the following twenty-one languages: Albanian Bohemian French Hungarian Lithuanian Russian Ukrainian Armenian Dutch German Italian Norwegian Spanish Welsh Belgian Finnish Greek Jugo-Slav Polish Swedish Yiddish ~ This is the first time that such an opportunity has been offered to the foreign-language press of the United States to put their opinions on immigration legislation, and immigra- tion conditions, to the whole audience of the American nation. This survey makes intensely interesting reading, and will prove highly instructive to American readers.
