General died. The physicians said that General
Hoffman had weak heart and had died from

Governor Odeu was at once informed by tele-

at 6:30 D. m. and later said that he could not
form any plans in regard TO filing Adjutant-

The State officials are greatly gTleVed over Cen

his family.
General Hoffman was OF the best known

General he visited every organization in the state
and IL was his pride that he knew every oihcer IN
the Guard. He was thoroughly competent and

The Thing

By HOWARD FIELDING.


W RADFORD opened the door Of
~ his studio and admitted Mrs
a Preston and Mr.. Morton Hollis.
A.-<h~ He had never had the pleasure
bf meeting the lady before, but Hollis
was an acquaintance of many years
standing, a lawyer who had begun his
caronr in tho rural districts and still
preserved flavor of rusticity.
Mrs. Preston was tall, gaunt, elder
ay woman, of rugged and severe coun-
tenance. She was dressed in black, and
she seemed to possess an abnormal fac
ulty of casting u shadow in all drec
Itions.
1--WE have called on rather singular
errand," said Hollis after the ntroduc
tion had been accomplished. I'VE want
you to help us find Mrs. Preston's step
daughter, who is supposed to be in the
city"
81 should be delighted to find the
young lady" said Bradford, but Of
course | haven't the least idea where
she is
Eve THOUGHT Won MIGHT advertise for
her said Mrs. Preston in II hard and
high pitched voice.
Evidently she was not a person who
wasted time in beating about the bush.
She made this very remarkable sugges-
ton with an iron calmncss, while she
sat straight up in her chair as cold and
sharp as an AK.
Her promptness Disconnected even the
lawyer. Perceiving that fact, she turn
ed to him and remarked Jelly, "Well.
that's what you said, wasn't it?"
Eyes, madam, that's what said" the
lawyer admitted. You see Bradford,
the facts are these: The young lady
Miss Anita Preston-has run away
from home. She has come to the city to
study art"
,"Poor child"' murmured Bradford.
FHas she anything to live on?'
'She's got good home with me-"
said Mrs. Preston, but she hasn't got
u cent of her own. I've provided for
her since her father died, two years
ago, and I'd have had her married in
another six months, but this nonsense
