every member of the family,
no matter whether old or young,
the funny fellow who is ever
ready with an odd story or a

amongst the invitations to re

even as the sun drives forth

Side Partner" which comes to
the New Theater, Mo. Valley,
Saturday, Nov. 3. Every line
of this comedy has been writ
ten to create Laughter, and
every actor in the cast, without
exception has been engaged to
make you smile. Bright,
merry little Maize Trumbull,
who is known from ocean to
ocean as "the girl with the
smile that wont come off" is at
the head of this comedy organ
ization. She is one of the best
of American soubrettes, mag
netic and always bubbling over
with mirth. The play was
written expressly for her.
When sceA..rg the vehicle
for her talents, Mr.. Joe Spears,
her manager, went to dozen
of the best of our comedy
writer's stating what he wanted
and was willing to pay we'll for
the funniest play that had ever
been written. Six of them un-
dertook the task, all claiming
that they could do better than
their rivals. Not knowing
with which to place the order,
Mr.. Spears agreed to pay the
full price asked for by the six
the play to be written
for competition ard the full
amount to be paid to the one
whose play should be chosen. 1t
is needless to say that the
manager got what he wanted.
The contest was won by Mr..
Chas. w. Chase, for many
years a we'll known writer of
comedy plays. To see "Dad's
Side Partner" is to laugh, to
tell of it to your friends means
that they will laugh, to think of
it means to laugh again. 1t is

THE ROSWELL TIARA
Continued from page 10

CURLY interrupted The Thinking Machine.
Even with the practical certain knowledge
that Miss Roswell did open the vault, The
Thinking Machine resumed pacidly, "and
that she opened it in precisely the manner you
saw tonight, took one more step to prove it.
This was after the second stone had disap-
peared. l instructed Mrs. Roswell to place
little strawberry jam on her stepdaughters
hands while she was sleeping. If this jam APP
peared on the book the next time the vault
was found open, taken in connection with
everything else, it proved finally and con-
c1usively that Miss Roswell opened it. This
jam did appear on the book. And now you
know the rest.
There was long pause. Grantham at last
broke the silence "Where are the two stones
that are missing?"
ooh, yes" remarked The Thinking Machine
easily, much as if that trivial point had escaped
him. MRS. Roswell will you please have the
cockatoo brought in?' he asked, and then ex-
planned to the others: 81 had the bird re-
moved from the room tonight for fear it
would interrupt"
Mrs Roswell gave some instructions to a
servant who was waiting outside.
He went away, and returned later with
startled expression on his face. The bird is
dead, madam" he reported.
"Dead?" repeated Mrs. Roswell.
"Good!' exclaimed The Thinking Machine,
rubbing his hands briskly together. Bring
it in, anyhow"
"Why, what could have killed it," asked
Mrs. Roswell bewildered.
indigestion" replied the scientist. Here
is the thief" he said he picked up the dead
bird. He had the opportunity; he had the
pointed instrument necessary to pry out
stone-note the sharp hooked bill-and he had
the strength to do it. Besides all that, he con-
fessed fondness for bright things when he
tried to snatch my eye glasses. He saw Miss
Roswell drop the tiara on the floor. Its
brightness fascinated him. He pred out
stone and swallowed it. 1t was painful and
he screamed Jeanette This same thing
happened on two occasions. Your encyclo-
pedia will tell you that the cockatoo has more
strength in that sharp beak than you could
possibly exercise with two fingers unless you
had steel instrument"
Later that day The Thinking Machine sent
to Mrs. Roswell the two missing diamonds, the
glass head of a hat pin, and a crystal shoe
button, which he had recovered from the dead
bird His diagnosis of the case was acute
indigestion.

and nervous; Jeanette was sleeping quietly
upstairs, with her maid on watch.
THE problem in itself was not difficult
one," The Thinking Machine began as he
lounged in a big chair with eyes upturned.
The unusual, not to say strange features,
which seemed to make it more difficult served
to simplify it, as a matter of fact.
"In the first place, burglars were instantly
removed as a possibility. They would have
taken everything, not one small stone. Then
what? Mr.. Grantham, here? His mother
assured me that he was quiet and studious OF
habit, and had an allowance of ten thousand
a year. There was need for him to steal.
Then, remember always that he, no more than
anyone else, could have entered the rooms.
Then we had only you, Mrs. Roswell, and
your stepdaughter. There would have been
no motive for you to remove the jewel, unless
your object was to throw suspicion on the
girl. l did not believe YOU capable of this. So
there was left somnambuism w1lful act OF
Your stepdaughter's. There was no motive
for the last-your daughter has ten thousand
year. Then sleep walking alone remained.
nambulist?" The Thinking Machine resumed
after hesitating. at does not seem to be
you, Mrs Roswell. You are not of a nervous
temperament. But your stepdaughter? She
suffered from nervous disorder SO pronounced
that YOU had fears for her mental condition.
With everyone else removed, she was the SOM
nambulist. Even the cockatoo said that.
Now let us see how it would have been
possible to open the vault. We admit that
no one except yourself knew the combination.
But a record of that combination did appear,
therefore it was possible for some one else
to learn it. Your stepdaughter does not know
that combination when she is in normal con-
dition. l won't say that she knows it when in
the somnambulistic state; but will say that
when in that condition she knows where there
is record of it.
She was firmly convinced that something of
deep concern to her was in that vault. She
was not after jewels--her every act, even to-
night, showed that. What else? Letters. /
knew it was a letter. or letters, before she said
so herself. What was in these letters is of no
consequence here. You, Mrs. Roswell, consid-
cred it your duty to hide them-possibly
destroy them"
Both husband and son turned on Mrs. Ros-
we'll inquirngy. She stared from one to the
other helplessly, pleadingly. THE letters con-
tanned" she started to explain.
Never mind that, it's none of Our business"
