Miss Marian Investigates.

Feminine curiosity was perhaps the
least Objectionable OF Hiss Marian
Grey's. distinguishing characteristics
but feminine curiosity she certainly
possessed to q remarkable degree.
She had been in Il fever of excite
ment since the night when the strange
visitor came to her fathers study. ana
her natural curiosity, stimulated by 4
morbid woman's pique against the man
who defied her charms, deprived her or
peace and rest.

BOY KIDNAPPED.
Son of Millionaire Cudahy, of Oma ha
Abducted hut Is Later
Released.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 2O.-Edward Cud-
ahy, Jr., the 15-year-old son of Edward
A. Cudahy, the millionaire pork pack
er, who was abducted on Tuesday
evening, was brought home at 1880
this (Thursday) morning. For Sc
hours every policeman and hundreds
of citizens of Omaha had been search
ing for the boy. just exactly how the
youth was found is not known to any
one except Mr.. Cudahy and the mem
bers of his family. They refuse to
say, but it is generally believed that
Mr.. Cudahy paid large sum of money
for the boys ransom.
The boy disappeared at eight o clock
Tuesday evening. Early Wednesday
morning horseman rode rapidly past
the Cudahy residence and threw a
note on the lawn, in which state
ment was made that for $4,000 the
boy would be returned to his parents
Later in the day another note was
received, declaring that if the money
was not paid immediately the boys
eyes would be burned out with vitriol.
Mr. Cudahy, it is believed, fearing
that his son might suffer the fate of
Charley Ross, decided to make terms
with the abductors.. The police knew
nothing of what he did. They were
unsuccessful in their search, and the
first intimation they received .of the
success of Mr.. Cudahy was at 1880 this
morning, when the chief of police was
notified by telephone that the boy was
home and had not been injured.

Senate Makes Important ChanEes in

Washington. Dec. 20.-The subcom-

military affairs has completed it's
work upon the army reorganization
bill.
The subcommittee reports COM
Plete substitute for the house bill,
and while much of the language is
the same as that of the house meas.
ure there are numerous changes. (
Probably the most important
change is in the provision regarding
the artillery arm of the service. The
subcommittee recommends the re-
tention of the present regimental or
ganization of the artillery and does
not give its assent to the corps or
ganization proposed by Secretary
Root and accepted by the house. In.
the matter of the appointment of.
staff officers the bill follows largely
the lines of the recommendations made
by Secretary Root.
The house canteen provision was
amended so as to permit the sale of
beer at the canteens. This exception
was made by omitting the word
'beer'' from the prohibited articles.
