Lady Brackenstall was no ordinary
person. Seldom have seen so grace
full a figure, so womanly a presence
and SO beautiful a face. She was
blond. golden haired, blue eyed, and
would no doubt have had the perfect
complexion which goes with such col

ferings were physical as well as men,
tai, for over one eye rose a hideous,
plum colored swelling, which her maid,
a TALL austere woman, was bathing as
siduousiy with vinegar and water. The
lady lay back exhausted upon q couch,
but her quick observant gaze as we
entered the room and the alert ex-

to his reputation and that we shall have

committed before IL last night"
"How can you possibly tell?.
"By an inspection Of the trains and
by reckoning the time. The local police
had to be called in: they had to COM

had to go out, and he in turn had to
send for me. All that makes fair
nights work Well, here we are at
Chiselhurst station, and we shall soon
set our doubts at rest"
A drive OF couple of miles through
narrow country lanes brought us to a
park gate, which was opened for us by
an old lodge keeper, whose haggard
face bore the reflection Of some great
disaster. The avenue ran through
noble park between lines of ancient
elms and ended in low, widespread
house pillared in front after the fash
ion Of Palladio. The central part was
evidently Of a great age and shrouded
in ivy, but the large windows showed
that modern changes had been carried
out, and one wing of the house appear
ed to be entirely new. The youthful
figure and alert, eager face Of Inspect
or Stanley Hopkins confronted us in
the open doorway.
I'm very glad you have come, Mr..
Holmes, and you, too, DR.. Watson.
But, indeed, if I had my time over
again I should not have troubled you,
for since the lady has come to herself

for us to do. You remember that Lew

FRANcO-GERMAN NEGOTIATIONS
ON SUBJECT OF MOROCCO
END PEACEFULLY,
ALL POINTS IN DISPUTE SETTLED
OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUED
SHOWING PROVISIONS OF
THE DOCUMENT. =

Paris, Sept. 29.-Premier Rouvier
and Prince Won Radolin. the German
ambassador, at noon signed the
Franco-German accord concerning the
Moroccan conference, thus definitely
terminating the difficult negotiations.
Preceding the signature DR.. Rosen,
representing Germany, and M. Revolt,
in behalf of France, met at the foreign
office and went over the final details
of the protocol.
The official text of the Franco-Ger-
man accord ON the subject of Morocco
as given out says:
"1'he negotiations between Franco
and Germany concerning the pro-
gramme for the conference on Moroc-
can affairs has successfully ter
minated. Accord is reached upon a
programme comprising the organiza-
ton of the police; the regulation and
repression of contraband arms; fnan-
cial reforms, consisting principally of
the organization of a state bank and
also the best means of collecting du-
ties and the creation of new means of
revenue and also the determination OF
principles destined to safeguard the
economic liberty OF Morocco"
The agreement then makes a spe-
cial reservation of the frontier region
between Algiers and Morocco where
the maintenance of police will be reg
ulated directly between France and
the sultan without submission to the
conference. The regulation Of contra
band in the same region also remains
for France to determine with the sui
tan.
The two governments unite In ask
ing that Spain accept Algeciras as the
place for the conference.
Upon the question of the recent
German loan to Morocco it is agreed
that French bankers shall participate
with the Germans and there is to be a
similar participation of French firms
in building the harbor works at Tan
gier if French company offers terms
equal to those of the German con-,
tractors.
Finally the accord provides for the
submission of the programme without
delay to the sultan and the signatories
of the convention of Madrid. Upon
it's submission to the sultan both the
French and German missions now at
FeZ will return to Tangter." e

1t has been stated in press reports from
Kalamazoo that eight recent cases Of
diphtheria in that city were due to the ex-
stence of the disease in the family of one
citizen who failed to report it as requir co
by law This unfortunate incident affords
striking Illustration Of the value of the
appeal recently made through the state
press in behalf of the better enforcement
Of Michigan's quarantine requirements
and state health laws. In view Of the lax
methods prevailing in some counties and
many communities, as stated by the sec
retary of the state board of health and as
illustrated in the case above referred to,
the subject is one Of immediate and in
creasng Importance.

THE LOSS OF FAITH.

1t has been truly said that the greatest
loss caused by the grating and stealing
Of the life insurance managers, and by
such trusted leaders Of public movements
as Daugherty of Peoria, former president
of the National Educational Association
is not that which can be computed in gold
or silver, but in the loss of faith in their
fellowmen it may bring to all the people
of orr own country. Loss of confidence
is as disastrous to nation as loss of hope
to an individual. There is one line of &C
ton that will do much to restore faith in
the righteous intentions of the controlling
elementin affairs, if not in the persons
who have betrayed their trust, and that
is an unyelding, unflinching procedure IT
the direction of revealing every grating
scheme and every hidden steal, and pro-
viding for the punishment Of the CRATER:
and thieves, no matter how high they may
stand in wealth or social position nor how
much it may cost to prosecute and con-
vict them.

The fear which has found expression
that the voters of Michigan will not be
made familiar with the details of the pr-
mary election law in time to permit then
to make use of its provisions, has little
reason for existence. The first action
under the law, party registration, does
not take place until next April, and long
before the selected date all the details
connected with that procedure will be
old and retold in every newspaper in the
state If the voters will be as mindful OF
their duties in this respect as the news
papers are sure to be, Mchigan's new
primary election law will be given full
and fair trial.
