CHAPTER I.
TITS A Grill"

Bank building, the gaunt young man
with the stern features and the kindly
gray eyes that always seemed perpet-
ual rebuke to the face in which they
were set ruminated over the letter he
held In his hand. His back was to the
d0or-a half glass door which was also
the main and only entrance to the
room and which bore upon its trans
lucent surface in ragged letters, worn
by the polishing the glass had under
gone, the words, Daniel VOORHEES,
Pike, Attorney at Law"
Pike himself had queer twist of
feature, sort Of whimsicality that
pervaded the very atmosphere about
him, and the smile with which he re.
garded the letter he held had a world
Of Renaissance and sadness in it.
As he gazed at 1t the letter seemed
to fade into nothingness, and in its
place there rose the picture of a day
years before, day that caused the
dingy walls of the Office to become
tenuous and gauzy, and through the
gauze he seemed to see another Office
a ramshackle sort Of place, with tin
sign showing through the window
which informed the passerby that real
estate was the commodity dispensed
within. To Pike the picture grew yet
more distinct, and in the broken bot
tom cane chair he saw the figure Of
heavy faced man in his shirt sleeves
engaged in smoking corncob pipe.
In another corner of the room he
could see red headed boy porting over
a pine table, laboriously copying in a
round hand some title deeds. Then,
through the reaches Of the past. he
seemed to hear the heavy faced man
remove the pipe from his mouth and
heard him speak.
"Dan." he said, 'its girl!'
And he heard the gasp the boy gave
forth as he turned about on his stool

A Novelization
of the Play Of
the Same Name
Copyright. 1909. by American
Press Association

This romance deals with a
curious admixture of American
plainness and European high
life; with young Indiana girl
d0zzled by title and in the
clutches of a quartet of sharp
ers headed by an impecunious
British peer; with the girls An
glomaniac brother, Russian
noble in disguise, an escaped
Russia convict and a toithless
wife, and, most important of all,
with the girls shrewd, witty,
courageous, resourceful guard
ian, Daniel Voorhees, Pike of
Kokomo. Daniel loves the In
diana girl and is determined to
save her from the sharpers even
against her own will. Read and
you will learn how Daniel, with
but a single friend to aid him,
faced a most difficult dilemma
and why he figured SO proni-
nently in an International ro-
nance in which heraldry was
more important than hearts and
cupidity far more conspicuous
than Cupid.

not like political or religious argu-

ways make me think of three Maine

While three Maine divines were
supping together, two of them be-

religious merit of the royal houses
of Stuart and Orange. The argument
became heated. The divines grew ex-

]. HERMAN
BEARE IS
DEAD
HIGH SCHOOL PRINCE.
PAL DIES SUD-
DENLY.

Terminating q lingering Illness
that caused him to resign from his
position as principal of the North
Central High school only week
ago, ]. Herman Beare died this
morning at the home OF his sister,
Mrs. P. Allin, 1920 College avenue.
Death came suddenly, though not
altogether unexpected.
A general physical breakdown
and nervous collapse is said to
have been suffered by the deceased
during the last few months. He
had been connected with the Spo-
kane high school work for about
four and half or five years, and
was generally we'll liked. He
showed himself to be an able man
in the exercise of his duties in the
South Central High school, and
when the new North Central High
school was completed he was
placed in charge of that.
Mr.. Beare, whose age was about
35 years, is survived by both par
ents, three brothers and a sister.
One brother, G. 8. Beare, principal
of the high school in Brandon, Al
berta, was present at the deathbed
of the deceased. His parents live
in London, Ontario, and his other
two brothers, William and Fred,
both physicians, are residents of
Calgary and Brandon.
The body has been removed to
the undertaking parlors of Smith &
Co., but no funeral arrangements
have yet been made. Mr.. Beare
was a native of Canada and 1t is
believed his body will be taken
there for burial.
