Martin looked puzzled, but COM

less than three minutes, shaking his

carriage drive Of the hotel to the viii
lage street. Myland Shone had disap-
peared in the twilight but from afar
off came the sound of running foot
steps.
Keep on the grass at the side of the
road and sprint for all you're WORTH I
whispered.
So it was that after a quarter of a
mile at top speed we were near enough
to see the flying figure ahead of us
turn aside into the garden gate of an
old matched cottage a { the roadside. It
was certainly not the postoffice. 1 had
noticed that on our way to the hotel,
and it was considerably farther along
the road.
Still commanding silence by pressing
Martins arm, 1 crept up to the gate
and found that Myland Shone had dis

light in tn lattice window to the right
OF the door. and to this 1 trod softly.
The blind was drawn, but the window
was open and from within came the
sound of voices-not the subdued muir
muir of an established conversation, but
the opening sentences of one recently
and excitedly commenced.

mil!ar voice complained. But I

At this point 1 felt a hot breath on
my neck, and saw that Mr.. Samuel

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
PUZZLES h'KEHzIE
Seems to Be Improving in City Jail,
Where She Is Attended by Little
Scotch Woman.

Much interest has been aroused among
the women of Salt Lake in the case of
the strange woman who has sought the
shelter of the city Jail to escape from the
voice" which she says is tormenting
her.
To conceal her real identity, the wO-
man is known at the Jail as Mrs. Roe
She has now been in the city Jail for
three days. Her companion Is Jennie
Steele, who was sentenced for insobrlety.
Jennie is devoted to the mysterious
lady," as she calls the voluntary priS-
oner, and her greatest delight is in serv-
ing the woman who, stepping out of an
other social world, has come to share the
dreary prison with her.
Chief Mckenzie has had number or
callers who are anxious to do something
for the strange woman, but has not YET
decided what to do with her. The woman
seems to be contented with life in Jail
She is less harassed with the voices,
and seems to think that the prison walls
are protecting her.
Jennie Steele has proved sympathetic
companion. The little Scotch woman,
removed from the temptation of drink,
is displaying all the unselfishness and
devotion il her Celtic nature in minis
tering to the wants of 1.-The lady" and it
is to her that credit is due for the wo-
mans improved condition

WAGON MEN ENJOY BANQUET
Employees of Studebaker Bros Com
pany of Utah Eat Commercial
Club Repast.

One of the prettiest banquets ever
given in Salt Lake was participated in
last night at the Commercial club by
agents of the Studebaker Brothers
Company of Utah. The agents came
from their various stations in Utah and
Idaho and the banquet closed sessions
that have been going on in Salt Lake
for several days. During these meet
ings. which constitute an annual event
in the history of the company, matters
of interest to the corporation and its
employees have been discussed and
plans made for future campaigns.
At the dinner last night Charles A.
Quigley, vice president and general
manager, acted as POSTMASTER and
host. The tables were tastefully deco
rated with ferns and asters and the
menu was one of the finest ever plo-
vided by the Commercial club. At the
conclusion of the banquet informal
talks were made, in response to sug-
gestions from Mr.. Quigley by many of
the guests.
Included in the list of guests were
three of the most prominent officials
of the Studebaker Brothers Company
of South Bend. They were w. F. Wig
gins, head of the office forces; U. G.
Speed, in charge of the harness depart
ment, and c. L. Immel. superintendent
of the factory, all with headquarters
at South Bend.

TRIED TO STEAL
WATCH At FAIR
Wood Davis, at One Time Well
Known Gambler, Arrested
as a PickpOCket.
CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS
WAS TUGGING AWAY AT CHAIN
OF TIMEPIECE.

Wood Davis, broken-down gam
bier, who was once we'll known in Salt
Lake after-dark circles, was arrested
at the fair grounds yesterday after
noon on charge of picking pockets.
Davis came here from Denver a few
days ago and has been earning a liv-
ing as a waiter, according 20 his story.
John Jimpson, of Elliott, Jimpson &
Bunker, AZ East Second South street,
was watching the races about 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon, when lie felt
someone tugging at his watch. The
chain held it and prevented the thief
from removing it. Mr.. JimpsCn alleges
that Davis was the nan who sried to
steal the watch.
You seem to want my timepiece,"
he said, turning to Davis.
Policeman Robert Golding, who was
in the crowd close by, heard the re-
mark and at once took Davis in Gus
tody.
DepredatiOns of a similar nature TO
that of yesterday were reported on the
fairgrounds every day of the fair. The
police have been active in the work of
preventing the operations of the pick
pockets. Several arrests for similar CT
lenses were made during the week.

to know work, for the week was over,
and all the prodding and jabbing Adgie
could do failed TO provoke much agili-
ty in the animals. Not so with Adgie,
however. She danced as merrily, as
fearlessly and as strenuously amongst
her pets as on Monday night. The fire.
works were touched off when her act
was through, and at 10 o'clock the
great gates swung open and the crowd
poured out for the homeward- bound
street cars.
All evening the owners of the live
stock were busy taking away their
animals.
The grounds were emptied at 10: 80
o'clock. and gradually the lights here
and there fiickered away, and save for
the secretary's Office the grounds were
in darkness. In the office four men sat
counting money. adding long columns of
figures and wrapping coins into neat
little packages. Their work was still
unfinished at midnight
The work of dismantling the exhibits
will start today.

SLUMP IN CEMENT PRICES
Attributed to Falling Off in Building
Operations in the Middle
Western States.

Salt Lake builders are at present get
ting the benefit of a slump in the GEM
ent market, the price of that material
having dropped in the past month from
$3.50 TO $3.50 barrel ON the local mar
ket.
A barrel of cement weighs $50 pounds
Whether the condition will last or not,
dealers will not say, though the opinion
is expressed that within sixty days the
price will be back to $3.50.
The officials of the Portland Cement
company of Utah explained yesterday
that the drop in prices here is due to the
fact that the middle western states, Min
neSota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, and 9TH
ers, have suffered from a let-up in
building operations the past few months
and that the intermOuntain markets, in
Guiding Salt Lake, have been loaded up
with the stocks intended for the central
states.
Dealers assert the situation in the mid
die west is looking better, however, and
that stocks here will soon be at normal
when prices will go to the old standard

CHRISTENSEN WILL
REMAIN HERE.
Popular Musician and Dancing Mas
ter Turns Down FIattering offer.

Those who enjoy dancing under
proper conditions and without offens-
i've dictation that follows edicts of the
majority who have studied ballroom
ethics, will be pleased to learn that
Professor L. P. Christensen, who has
done so much for dancing in this city
and state, will again concuct MS reg
ular classes this season.
Salt Lake City's Juvenile band made
such a pronounced hit" everywhere
they played outside of the state that
the public became interested in its in
structor and director, Mr.. Christensen,
and many inducements were ofered
him to remain in the east and instruct
the youths of other states in the art
and precision of military music. But
Mr. christensen refused these fiattering
offers because he is so proud OF the
home kids" as he calls them, and
because he has become so attached to
them that the thought of leaving is un-
pleasant When the youngsters and
their parents, as well as Va number of
the public-spirited citizens who real
lied what splendid advertising Utah
received through the band both by
their playing and their behavior. while
in the east, asked Mr.. Christensen to
remain in Salt Lake, and agreed to
provide him some remuneration for his
services to the band, it was without re-
Iuctance that he refused these many
-fattering offers he had received else
where.
AS has been his custom heretofore,
Mr.. Christensen will, in addition to in
structing the Juvenile and High School
bands. conduct classes in dancing IN
all its branches. Professor Christensen
attended the dancing masters conven-
ton at Atlantic City last spring and Is
nreDared to teach some new and dainty
dances and exercises in delsarte and
dancing calisthenics. At the convention
Mr. Christensen was considered as one
of the authorities in dancing, especial
Iy from the musical STANDPOINT, and
was called upon for several discussions
on the subject.
He also introduced for the first time
to the dancing masters OF America MS
Rage Quadrille,' a dance which has
been, and is still, very popular In Utah.
The dance was voted the hit of the
for in 1t is exempllfied the
beauty of a simple and consistent
dance with distinctive characteristic
figure, step and music being in perfect
harmony. With the reputation Mr..
has made as an instructor
of Juvenile bands, and with the new
ideas acquired from the interchanging
of theories with the other dancing mas
ters in the east, he should, and doubt
less will, prove more interesting and
be of greater service to the public in
his vocation than ever.

was charged with beating his wife.
Adsie. whose exploits in tanning the
king of beasts have thrilled multitudes,
apparently was but indifferently success

Jones alleges that she endeavored to
reduce him to submission during a quarrel
at the fair grounds by throwing one of her
spangled shoes at him. ~He retaliated, ae-

chastising her. Adgie seemed embarrassed

was included in this trunk episode. But
