CHAPTER N,

"IRED nature asserted herself
and took the full twelve hours,
but 1 felt like another man
when I left the house next
morning, and I was eager to grapple
anew with the mystery. 1 found two
reports awaiting me at the office. Mr.
Royce had passed a good night and
was better; the clerks who had spent
the afternoon before in visiting the
stables had as yet discovered nothing,
and were continuing their search.
1 looked up time card of the Long
Island railroad and found that Miss
Holladay's coachman could not reach
the city until $50; so put on my hat
again, sought secluded table at Wal
lacks, and over a cigar and stein of
book drew up resume Of the case
to clear the atmosphere, as it were. It
ran something like this:
March Is. Thursday. = Holiday found
murdered: daughter drives to Wash

'I'm going to find her." I assured

Strange story-But True.


F. L. Vandegrift has a new story.
1t is illustrative of the marvellous fe-
cundity of the English sparrow.
81 was pending Sunday with the
Dumont Smiths, at Kinsley," said
Van, in recounting his experience.
1--WE had been up late the night be-
fore and l was a trifle drowsy. I sat
out on the front porch listening to the
church bells and gazing off into the
illimitable space that lies between
a shortgrass town and the horizon
beyond.
Presently I dropped my hat into
a bed of virginia creeper and dozed
off to sleep. I could not have slept
more than an hour, for the children
were passing the house on the way
from Sunday school when l awoke.
l rubbed my eyes and glanced over
at my hat. In it sat an English spar
row brooding a setting of eggs. While
l slept the sparows had built a nest
in my hat, the mother bird had laid
full complement of eggs and had be-

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To the Editor:

TO the Editor:
noticed somewhere recently-I
would not say positively that it was in
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
I7Ss. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
resdy-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.
noticed this especially because I
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because I had Just read book
let published by firm of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but ''the
best and purest of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people, those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even if it is only a date
or statement about wood, or brick,
or paint, or other building material.
Yours for truth,

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine SO Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take 'tonics and stimu
lants" under such circumstances is
like setting the house on fire to see
if you can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way of
eating. to Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years / had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medi-
cine. the doctor would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and so on,
but in few days that craving, gnaw-
ing feeling would start up, and l
would vomit everything l ate and
drank.
when 1 started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating

nerve builder, for can sleep as sound

One of the big Chicago packing
houses has dozen or more wagons
in this and adjacent counties engaged
in going from farm to farm gather

have to sell and ship them to st. Paul

secure sufficient eggs to meet their

eggs cannot be procured at any price.

MINOTERS LIKE BEER.
Whole Carload of Booze Stolen There
In q Single Night.

IN u Single Nlguts
Special to The Evening Times.
Minot, July 20-Burglars are steal
ing beer and whiskey in Minot by the
carloads.
A gang of bandits broke into a
Minot cold storage Tuesday night and
carted away eight barrels and ten
cases of beer.
The men drove to the cold storage
with a team, backed up against the
door, pounded the entrance in with a
sledge hammer, loaded their wagon
and hurried away.
How the burglars could drive up to
the storage and load wagon with
out someone seeing them is mystery
and one that is puzzling the police.
A city official recently said:
81 doubt very much If there Is any
object in trying to find the burglars,
for as far as can learn it was not
a crime to steal the beer. The sale,
distribution and storage of beer in
North Dakota, understand, is illegal,
and II that is the case the property
can be confiscated at any time.
"It might be good idea, however,
to find out who is carting away the
beer. Whoever would steal It in sucn
large quantities probably has blind

st. Petersburg. July 2O-Extreme
nervousness and excitement prevades
all classes owing to the fear that the
action of the lower house of parlia-

parliament 1t is rumored that the
step has been decided upon and the

The feeling of general alarm is In
creased by the fact that all night long
the guard regiments have been march

camp at Krasnoye-Selo. Moreover it
is known that the colonels of the
Seminovsky regiment of the guard and

ST. Petersburg. July 2O.-At the
Tauride palace today a pessimistic
feeling was prevalent, but the leaders
generally did not believe that the
government would dare to attempt the
dissolution of parliament.
At the opening of the session of the
lower house, the question of the pub

which President Mouromtseff last
night decided had not been carried
owing to lack of quorum, was al
lowed to go over until Monday, when
NJ. Mouromtseff will again occupy the
chair.
Without debate the house then
adopted resolution on the subject of
the Bialystok massacre. demanding
the prosecution of the military and
police officials involved, irrespective
of rank. The resolution constitutes u
strongly worded indictment Of the
general government which is held re-
sponsible for the secret propaganda

PUBLIC OPINION IS THE MOST POTENT
FACTOR IN THE LIFE OF THE NATION
Associated Pres. {. n. evening Times.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Warm Springs, Ca, July 20.-Dis-
trict Attorney Jerome delivered an ad-
dress on Public Opinion, Its Power,
Some, Of Its Evils and Injustices, and
Our Duty as Lawyers Do It," before
the Georgia Bar association today.
In the course of his address Mr.. Jer-
ONE referred to President Roosevelt's
criticism of United States court
Judge, saying: :.
There is one injustice which pub
lie opinion not infrequently does, and
it is one which lawyers can do much
to correct. and that is the criticism
Of judges for decisions which they
could not avoid making if they obeyed
the law. The recent spectacle of the
nations chief executive. himself not a
lawyer, criticizing in public docu-
ment federal Judge for his decision
on point of law has not, I believe,
commended itself to our profession.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-07-20

The laws are our laws. Public opin-
ion made them and can change them.
Every citizen has right to criticise
them and seek their amendment Or
repeal, but while they are our laws
we want our judges to obey them and
not substitute for them something
they deem in accord with a thing SO
mutable and SO difficult to ascertain
as the public opinion. The soundness
of judges legal judgment and the
wisdom of particular law may well
be called in question, but an honest
decision should not expose the Judge
himself to criticism"
In the beginning Mr.. Jerome said
that there are men, guided by high
sense of duty, who will do and con-
tinue to do their duty as they see it,
regardless of the majority opinion
which we call public opinion but with
effort and depression.
"The man who declares he is in
different to public opinion" said Mr.
Jerome, ''if he be not fanatic, is too
often something of fool and a knave
