kins and by Timmins, that he had
bought q house tenanted only by serv-
ants. But persons who read books
In the library. dropped lace handker-
chiefs and occupied rooms in the main
portion of the house could not be
servants.
The Cherub wondered and speculat-
ed and made wild guesses as to the
identity of the persons in those upper
rooms. Having no starting point, no
clew to follow, he arrived nowhere.
"Give it up" he said. Guess I'll
go to bed"
Why he should rise at the unearthly
hour OF 6, however, he explained In
quite a different way. He accused
few twittering sparrows OF waking
him. Perhaps, too, it was the spar
rows which drove him out to make
circuit Of the grounds. Quite Incl
dentally he glanced mp at the win
dows he had watched the night before.
The closed shutters revealed nothing.
Finding a bench under tree, he sat
down and began to wonder how long
it would be before he might call for
his breakfast without seeming unsea-
sonable. He was aroused by a crunch
crunch OF footsteps on the gravel.
Some one was walking down one OF
the interesting paths.
During the brief instant that he
stared he had a glimpse Of a slender,
big eyed young woman whose hair
hung In a thick, dark braid over one
shoulder. Across the hollow Of her
left arm was sheaf of freshly cut
flowers. In her right hand pair OF
shears. And then she saw him.
''Ohp'
Down fell the roses. The shears
clattered on the stones.
By the time he could scramble to his
feet she had gathered up her flowers
and the shears She stood quite still,
eying him with apprehensive expecta-
ton.

Parole for Stegeman.-Arthur Siege
man, imprisoned in the Scott county
Jail or a charge Of uttering forged
instrument and serving part Of SEN
tence OF six months and fine Of 800,
has been given a parole by Governor
B. F. Carroll, the parole having been
granted in answer to the effort made
by many of his Davenport friends.
Stegeman was sent up after having
been given a trial in the district court
on the charge upon which he is now
held, and, with two others, was con-
victed and ordered committed to jail.
He with his two associates had taken
some blank checks from a check book
owned by his employer and had filled
these checks out, cashing them few
days later Five checks in all were fill
ed out by the trio and about $50 was
secured as a result of the forgeries.
T. w. Griegs for LeaisIature.-The
inquiry for a democratic candidate for
the legislature, to succeed August w.
Balluff, who will himself be a candi-
date for the state senate, proved a
fruitful one. 1t resulted in Thomas
w. Griggs being induced to become a
candidate for the democratic nomina-
tion, which is equivalent to his cleo
ton, especially as no better qualified
candidate has been offered for the en-
dorsement of the people in any pre-
vious year in Scott county. Mr.. Griggs
is one of Davenport's active young
business men. He is secretary and
treasurer of the Security Investment
as well in the Iowa Publishing COM
pany, an institution whose work has
been state wide. Nomination papers
were started in circulation Saturday
that will result in sending him to the
legislature.

hurled to the ground. suffering cuts
about the head and face and probable
internal injuries. AS soon as those
who witnessed the accident could
reach his side, Mr. MCGEE was picked
up and the city ambulance called, in
which he was taken to his home, where
his injuries were attended to. The
motorcycle which struck him was
coming from the Illinois side and
struck Mr.. MCGEE Just as ne was en-
tering the bridge at the Davenport
end.

Another Mail Robbery.

DAWSON, Oct l5, - When the White Pass steamer Selkirk, which left here on Monday, arrived al Sel- kirk, it was discovered that gold to the amount of three thousand dol lars had been extracted from one of the mail sacks. The robbery was discovered before the passengers had left Whitehorse and the Mount ed Police at once got to work on the case. Five of the passengers of the Selkiik are now under arrest charged with the offense and all of the stolen gold has been recovered. A careful investigation is being made as it is believed that these men may have had something to do with ghe previous robberies which have occurred this summer.
The Alaska citizen., 1910-10-17
ABE CLAIMED HE
 WAS LIBELED
APPEARED BEFORE GRAND JURY ON SATURDAY TO DEMAND
 RIGHTS.
CITIZEN WAS INVESTIGATED
Tribunal is Asked to Descend in Its Wrath on This Paper, Which, Abe Says, Painted His Character Black CT Than It Really Is.

Some few short weeks ago the Citizen took occasion to state that the opponents of home rule for Alaska had very materially weaken ad their caIse by enlisting the ser vices of Abe Spring II was neces- sary, at the time for the purpose of illumining the minds of those who had the good fortune not to be acquainted with this living imper- sOnatiOn of Judas IsCariot to use a few adjectives which. had they been applied to man, might have been considered uncomplimentary in the extreme. In Abe's case, however, they were pitifully weak and the Citizen had good reason 10 apolo- gize for the limitations of it's vo- cabulary.
 On Saturday, so street r'umor has it, the Citizen was subjected to a probe at the hands of Ihc grand jury on a charge made by Abe to the effect that he had been libeled by the article aforesaid. Think of it, Abe Spring libeled, Surely the Citizen has earned an undisputed right to claim for itself an original ity and imagination unsurpassed.
 While the action taken by the grand jury has not been made pub lie. the workers in this busy little beehive go to bed tonight in fear and trembling that their sweet sleep in the early morning will be disturbed by deputy marshal, who and show cause why such poor job of character painting was turned out of the office.
 To Abe the Citizen can only say that what it said goes as it looks, and will be backed to the last white check. Had the contents of that ar ticle not been conscientiously be- lieved in this office they would never have been committed to type. When the publishers of this paper were ad- vised some weeks ago that it would be better to smooth over the incl dent, the answer was given that the Citizen never backed down, and as far as can be seen ahead there is ing changed.
