him to bind the compact to Stella.

CHAPTER IiI.
The Kidnapping of Judge Graham.
-Vogel turned the trick for which
"The Gray Wolf" had enhplayned him
on Saturday night, as scheduled, but
it was not until Monday that the
newspapers discovered and blazoned
abroad the fact that Judge Alonzo
Graham, of the Circuit Court, had die -
appeared. It was the juiciest morsel
of news in months. For Judge Graham
Was more then a local character. He
was nationally known and talked i
about, and even in foreign lands his
name was one to conjure with.
No man ever graced a Federal
Court with mare prominence. Abso-
lutely honest and fearless, he was the
terror of evil -doers who ran afoul of
the government. All defendants be-
fore hen received abe:o;kttely the same
kind of treatment. He fined law-
breaking trusts trillions of dollars
with the sante equanimity with which
he gave out thirty day sentences to
petty offenders. He had a bitting sar-
casm at his command which he exer-
cised with equal impartiality on all
those to whom he was intent upon
bringing home their derelictions.
Malefactors of great wealth and poor
wretches who had made missteps
through ignorance shivered alike when
Fate decreed Judge Graham. should
try them. For they knew how useless
it was to lee to him, to try to excel -
pate themselves for .smashing the
statutes of the country. Has keen eye
and keener intuition enabled him to
single out the true from the false
with marvelous perspicacity, and woe e
betide the unfortunate who enmeshed h
himself in falsehoods.
Disloyalty in any form was ana-
thema to Judge Graham. Slackers
and traitors, Bolshevists, anarchists f
or I, W. W. could expect no mercy at T
his hands. One daring group of agd-
tia+tors had cast a bomb into his court- v
room with intent to 'intimidate hien,
and he had searcely halted the case p
he then was trying, except to inquire
if any one had been hurt.
His disappearance, of course, took
precedence over all other news of the w
day, not only in the city where he• r
reigned supreme, but all over the

took further precautions, too, against
his ever being able to identify them

His abduction had been extremely
easy. A big, high-powered automo-
bile, containing three men, had pur-

took his evening constitutional, until
he had passed along a dark spot

had drawn swiftly up to the curb, two
men had sprung upon the ,Tudige, muf-

into the car and it had sped away, but
well within the legal speed limit, to

spoken a word to hint.. When his gag

It was getting dark Sunday evening

FAMOUS SPEECHES.
These Truths Apply to Canada
as to (thew Portions of the
British Empire.
Once of the most outstanding of the
many addresses delivered by the Rt.
Hoe. David Lloyd George durinil the
latter part of the war, was that known.
as :hie "Health Speech" at Manchester,
in August, 1913, Irani which the fol-
lowing extracts have been taken:
"As soon as the unseen hand casts
the rainbow of peace on the sides, we
must be ready. And to be ready is
snrn narized 10 one counsel. Wo must
profit by the lessons of the war. -
"Tlle first lesson it has taught the is
the immense importance of maintain-
ing the saliclarity of the nation. The
British Empire has rendered a ser-
vice to humanity, theemagnitud.e of
which, will be greater and greater as
this generation recedes into the past.
"The next great lesson of the war is
that if the State, if Britain ie to be
thoroughly equipped to face any .
emergency o1 either peace or war, the
State must take a more constant and
more intelligent interest in the health
and fitness of the people. If the em-
pire is to be equal, to this task, the
men and women who matte up the Em-
pire must be eigual to theirs. How
does Britain stand in the light of that
test? We have done great things., to
his war. We could have accomplish-
ed greater if this country had been in
a sound condition. War, like sickness,
