The detective saw that Carlingford was almost secured, and that unless he could act at once he would soon be equally powerless. He had almost deâ€" cided to risk the consequences of a sudden rush, when from outside in the street came three quick blasts from a motor horn, the signal he had arranged with Morrell, who had been left in charge, to warn him something unusual was going on. Galesbourne had turned from Carâ€" lingford and stood with his back to the window, stooping for the rope to tie his second enemy, when there came a terrific crash of glass as the wide terrible, mal elfâ€"locks upo mad 2ves. The actors in this drama stood petriâ€" fied with astonishment, and then, quick as thought, there was a flash of steel from outside the window, as, with a wild, halfâ€"human cry, the creature swunz back his arm and flung a knife at the man he hated. saw it, and hurled himself on the floor in the nick of time as the heavy weaâ€" pon whizzed over him and buried itâ€" self quivering in the wall, while, at thr» same instant, the woman recovâ€" ered her nerve and fired at the intrudâ€" er, who instantly disappeared with anâ€" other terrible cry,.

Galesbourne had gripped the detecâ€" tive‘s collar in an iron grasp and was slowly choking him into â€" submission, when a wild scream from the woman told him the door was burst open and he was dragged backwards by Morrell and half a dozen other officers who crowded into the room. Even against such heavy odds the desperat» man continued to struggle so violently that it was not until the handcuffs had clicked upon his wrists that he ceased his »fforts and stood, beaten, a picture of baffled rage, with bloodshot ceyes and foamâ€"flecked lips. ‘"Well, you‘ve got me this time, curse you, Hopton!" he snarled as the deâ€" tective rose, panting, from the floor. "Got that chap, Morrell?" inquired the Inspector, pointing to the window. "No, sir, he climbed up one of the scaffold poles on to the roof. They‘re after him, though, and I expect they‘ve got him by now." "Come on, then!" cried Hopton. "Get the ropes off Mr. Carlingford and have the prisoners put under lock and key as soon as possible; I must get after that chap on the roof. He mustn‘t cseape whatever happens," and leaving his men to carry out his orders, he ran downstairs and out into the street. The whol> thoroughfare was crowded with police, and a surging mass of onâ€" lookers, who stood gazing lupwards and pointing excitedly. Hopton. grabbed the nsarest constable by the arm and inquired if Red Dave had been taken. "No, I don‘t think so, sir," replied the man. "We saw ‘im dodge round behind the chimneyâ€"stack there, just now, with two men after ‘im, but that was the last we‘ve seen." panted for mastery. From below came| the smashing of woodwork as the front door crashed inwards before the invadâ€" ing police, and the thud of their footâ€" falls could be heard on the stairs. The detective waited anxiously to see if there was any sign of the chase; but though he could hear an occasâ€" ional shout from the climbers, nothing definite occurred, and he was at last joined by Carlingford, who had been nmsleased from his bonds and was thirstâ€" ing for vengeance. "Got him?" he questioned anxiously. "No, not yet," answered the Scotland Yard man tersely, his eyes glued to the lin> of roofs. "Giving ‘em a good run for their money by the look of things. Hello, look here!" The last exclamation was caused by a figure which had moved from the dark shadow of a line of chimneys and darted across to a new shelter as its place was taken by that of a uniformed pursiuer. to matchwood as each strained and“)y‘ wtt.p. a hose in case we‘ve got to "He‘s still up there, Carlingford," cried Hopton, forgetting all animosity in the thrill of the chase. ‘"They‘re bound to get him now . . . nothing can stop ‘em arresting him!" A quiet, sarcastic voice broke in upon the conversation, and both officers swung sharply round to find Sir Halâ€" lard Costigan standing behind them, monocle in eye. "Bit optimistic, aren‘t you, Inspecâ€" tor?" The Chief Joins in "Personally, I think you‘ll have the devil‘s own job to get him down from there," he commented abstractedly. "I think it‘s so dangerous, in fact, that I‘ve rung up the fire brigade to stand As he finished speaking there came a spurt of flame from the roof, followed by a dull report, and one of the purâ€" suers was seen to fall forward on the slatzs. "Very good, sir," agreed the detecâ€" tive, doubling away to give the necesâ€" sary instructions. bring him down that way ‘"You see?" the Commissioner exâ€" plained. "HMe‘s armed, and we‘re going to have endless trouble in dislodging him. You‘d better call off the men, and try to bring him down with the hose or a gas bomb. We daren‘t risk valuable lives like this, Hopton." But by the time he reached the roof he found that the deformed gunman had somehow taken advantage of the confusion caused by his unexpected atâ€" tack, to scramble along the line®* of roofs and conceal himself so effectually that not a sign of him could be found. The wounded constable was being careâ€" fully lowered through a skyâ€"light, while his brother officers were busily scourâ€" ing the buildings in search of their agile and desperate foe. Half an hour passed in abortive search, and at last it became almost certain that â€"Red Dave had given them the slip and got off. Hopton had rejoined Sir Hallard and Carlingford when a mobile officer elâ€" bowed his way through the crowd and saluted. "Excuse me, sir," he reported, "a call for all cars has just gone out from headquarters. Grey sports car‘s been stolen from the park in Linfield street, only a few yards from here, by a small, hunchâ€"backed man, who held up the attendant with a pistol. Last seen proâ€" ceeding in the direction of Wimbledon. Number of stolen car GA 1249." ‘"Very good, officer," replied the Comâ€" missioner. "Get busy," and as the man saluted again and hurried away, he went on excitedly: "It‘s our man right enough, Hopton; I want to see the end of thisâ€"my car‘s handy; you‘d better come too, Carlingford, and leave Morrell in charge; there‘s no time to waste." By a stroke of good fortune they picked up a police car at the Plough, Clapham, and, by almost superhuman feats of steering on the part of the man at the wheel, managed to keep behind it. They followed it through Wimbleâ€" don, Surbiton and Esher, and had alâ€" most reached Byfleet, when they were held up by a crowd of people grouped round an overturned car at the roadâ€" side. Both cars pulled up smartly and the Commissioner and his subordinâ€" ates jumped out and joined the throng round th>e capsized machine. In an incredibly short space of time the Commissioner‘s highâ€"powered car containing Sir Hallard, his driver, and the two officers, was hurtling through a series of intricate streets towards Wimâ€" bledon, its crew eager to be in time for the desperate chase which miust itably follow. of an Italian gentleman upon whose head a price was offered by the govâ€" ernméent, and who was hiding in an old aqueduct that he had come to know as a boy.

The value of the gold produced by Ontario‘s gold mines during June as reported to the Ontario Department of Mines totalled $8,203,982 as against $8,252,574 in the previous month. While the figures are somewhat lower, due to the shorter period in June, the daily rate of production showed improvement. The grand total for the first six months exclusive of the byâ€"product gold from the nickelâ€"copper industry was $47,â€" 067,043 as compared with $43,024,229 or an improvement of more than 9‘% per cent., while the tonnage milled rose from 4,078,951 to 4,533,.016 tons. In the Kirklandâ€"Larder area the Golden Gate resumed production after being idle for many years. Another newcomer was the Sachigo River Exâ€" ploration Company in Patricia, which uurned over its 35â€"ton mill on May 17th. The statistics from this property howâ€" ever were not available at the time of writing and are not included below. The average daily rate of milling in Jum» was 26.013 tons as against 26,138 tons in May and 25,093 in April. Proâ€" ducing gold mines (including the Saâ€" chigo) numbered 49 in June, and this total will be increased during the preâ€" sent molnth by the Cline Mine, south of Tochalsh which expected to comâ€" mence milling about July 25th.

M. (Eddie) Murphy, station agent at the Swastika T. N. O. station, last week by the Order of Railway Telegraphers when he roceived a gold medal for passing the quarterâ€"century mark of service. Fddie Murphy has done all of his railroading in Northern Ontario and on the Temiskaming and Northern Onâ€" tario Railway. Starting as a helper in the New Liskeard freight sheds away back in 1910 Mr. Murphy kept proâ€" gressing until he was named station agent at Swastika about ten years ago, a position which he holds toâ€"day. A lot of changes and advancements of the rcad have been watched by the Swastika official in his time with the company. He has seen the road grow from Cobalt up to the Porcupine disâ€" trict, before there was a Kirkland Lake and only a whistle stop at Swastika. He has seen the Nipissing Central Branch stretch its twin lines of steel rail into the Kirkland Lake district and beyond and into Quebec. Medal for T. N. 0.

Shortly after starting in the teleâ€" graph division he was sent to the boomâ€" ing town of South Porecupine to reâ€" lisve for a short time and then he came back to the farming town. In the intervening time between 1913 and 1915 Mr. Murphy‘s job was mostly one of relieving as he did sending and reâ€" ceiving work in Timmins, Schumacher and New Liskeard in the two years. Eddie first worked in Swastika when he was temporarily at the key in 1915 on a relief job. Four years later, in 1918, he became a permanent resident of Swastika to curtail his roaming of the T. N.
