Let me tell you the facts. doctor"
said the elder brother. "A private
detective agency received a call over
the phone yesterday from my father,
so they claim there He wished a man
sent TO him at once on business,
though he didn't say what business,
and neither we nor they have the
slightest notion of what II could be.
One of their men, Draper, went right
up. This was at ten o'clock yester-
day morning. When he got there he
found my father and Everett sitting
in chairs facing each other, both of
them with bullet-holes In their heads,
as II somebody standing near the
door had fred the two shots Father
was dead, but Everett was only
stunned. He soon came to himself,
but most unaccountably refused TO
say who did the shooting. He not
only would not tell the ofilcials-he
would not even tell us when We called
on him and begged him to do so. His
only answer 10 our questions was, L
cannot speak-please, II you love me,
don't ask me, II you were in my
place you would do as ! am doing.
On that subject that is all he would
say, but from certain insights he has
given us into fathers business, the
cautions he has advised regarding Ger
tain securities, and other matters OF
that nature. We fancied we had struck
a lead which II properly worked out
might result in something definite"

"Why don't you tell him an9" said
Henry, red in the face.

The drawing topic this week Is along
new lines, and all the boys and girls are
at liberty to select any design they
think appropriate for Easter. and
weave that design into heading for
the roll of honor for that Sunday.
There are many ideas which may be
used in an Easter design. Flowers,
especially lilies. crosses, eggs. chickens,
rabbits, are all appropriate, and the
clever and thoughtful ones among the
Junior artists will easily think of many
ways of utilizing these objects or
others which suggest something appro-
pirate to the Easter season.

JUNIORS DRAW MANY
HOES AND SPRINKLERS

TUNIOR boys and girls certainly en-
joyed drawing pictures for the
- Little Gardener" subject. Such a
great number of drawings came to the
Junior office that the walls might have
been covered with sketches of boys and
girls sprinkling rows of cabbages, hoe
ing cabbages or raking garden plots.
Some of the boys presented a back
view, and those almost invariably had
patched garments.
To be sure some of the boys and girls
were watering flowers In pots instead of
plants in the garden but only few
pictures showed any particular indi-
Viduality.
One of the best drawings which came
in for the contest, in fact possible
prize winner, was contributed by Helen
Abbott, 1894 Orange street, but she had
used such rough dull yellowish paper
that it would not be possible to repro
duce the drawing. The excellence of
the shading and the effect of distance
obtained is exceptional.

POOR SOLDIER BILL

All day long in the attic
Sits poor old Soldier Bill,
Not one soul there to cheer him,
And all about SO STILL
The past he well remembers.
When he. a bright new toy,
Was brought there to that mansion
To cheer a little boy.
But years ago that soldier
Was to the attic SENT
For Little Boy had grown so big
That of to school he went
And when back home he sometimes came
To see his parents dear.
Not once paid he visit
To the poor old Soldier drear.
And there, up In that attic
Sits poor old Soldier Bill.
Without one soul to cheer him:
Alone, where all. is still.
