countable interest she was beginning
to take In this mysterious and very
agreeable musician. During the repast
he talked much and most appreciative-
ly of rural life and Its restfulness and
capacity to supply the true musical In
spiration. Although he avoided the dis
cussion Of personal matters with what
seemed to Isabel an exaggerated deli
cacy, she had almost persuaded herself
before they returned to the lodge room
that he was q composer who had come
to Crosskill In search of the proper at
mosphere for mastery effort
Az they were rising from the table

said, handing the slip to Isabel. 'It
seems to be cabalistic design of some
sort. 1t probably has some connec-
ton with the order. Do you know
what It Is, Miss voseT"
Yes. I do" she answered hastily.
TT belongs to my father. He must
have pulled It from his pocket with
his handkerchief. He will be annoyed
when I confront him with the evidence
Of his carelessness."
"Then l should advise you to defer
the matter. He seems to be enjoying
himself. and 1t would be cruel to dis
turb him." the young man said, with
a soft laugh.
Isabel laughed little too. II guess
I will take your advice" she said, put
ting the slip in the belt Of her gown
and at once forgetting all about it.

that she was afraid Of him. Her hus-

that the man was genius who had

they arrived at home she went direct

still engaged In fixing the probable
social status Of the stranger.
About daybreak she awoke from a
distressing nightmare in which the pro-

in q threatening attitude demanding
the combination which would open the

tucked In her belt for safe keeping
She sat up In bed affrightedly, and the

RAILROAD SHOPS BUILT
OF CONCRETE BLOCKS
Barney Smith Car Co., OF Dayton, Ohio
Constructed Three Large Shops
of That Material.

Railroad men, and car builders in par
ucular are intensely practical people.
Any material which passes inspection
and is accepted by the car Iilder may
be safely accepted by others. This re-
fers not only to material used In the
construction of various forms and
styles Of street and railway cars. but
OF construction material in general.
In this connection. it is interesting to
note that three immense new car hops
in course Of construction at Dayton.
Chic, for the Barney-Smith Car Com
pany, are constructed entirely Of con-
crete blocks.
The main consideration in the erection
OF these buildings was solid and en-
during construction, fireproof and damp
proof walls, as well as prompt and ex-
peditious work in preparing the build
ings for occupancy.

Wilson was a fictitious character,
that his mother had no existence,
Eand that an the proofs OF deatl, were
either from persons who do not

WICKED BATTLEs
At THE LOOP

There was big doings and minia-
ture battle in the East End IN the
neighborhood Of the tin-mill Satur-
day night. A crowd Of niae for
eigners and five Americans clashed.
The trouble was started in the Loop
saloon.
The entire bunch then went to the
street and finished. One foreigner
got out a knife and struck at one
American but he missed that one
and gashed another in the forehead.
Before he could be stopped he had
cut two Others but not seriously.
By that time the Americans had
commenced and in very short time
had cleaned up the foreigners.
While no one was seriously injured
some bad bruises are in evidence out
that way today. The names Of the
combatants are unobtainable. No
arrests were made.
