During the summer and fall q
number of the citizens and business
men Of DEBORAH have at some OK
pense and considerable trouble been
working to stock the Upper Iowa
river with game fish, so that fish
might be plentiful and so that our
people who like to eat fish or enjoy
fishing can be assured Of something
for their time in future years when
they go fishing, like it used to be
here. After much work a fine car
lead of over 10000 bass, pickerel,
crapries, catfish, etc, were secured
and deposited in the river, some of
them alCng the dugway.
Sunday morning as one of our
citizens was walking up near the
old Addicken place he heard some
suspicious noises where the creek
flows into the river, and saw a cou-

SYNOPSIS.

Archibald Terhune, a popular and In
dolent young bachelor of London, re-
ceives news that he has been made heir
TO the estate of his Aunt Georgiana, with
an income of $4,000 a year. on condition
that he becomes engaged to be married
within ten days. Failing to do so the
legacy will go to a third cousin in Amer
lea. The story opens at Castle Wyckoff,
where Lord Vincent and his wife, friends
Of Terhune, are discussing plans to find
him wife within the prescribed time. 1t
seems that Lady Vincent is one of seven
persons named Agatha, all close girlhood
chums. She decides to invite two of them
TO the castle and have Archie there as
one OF the guests. Agatha Sixth strikes
Archie as a handpainted beauty Agatha
First is breezy American girl. Lady
Vincent tells her husband that Agatha
sixth already cares for Archie. He gains
from Agatha Sixth the admission that
she cares for him, but viii require a
months time fully to make up her mind.
Agatha First, neglected by Terhune, re-
ceiVes attentions from Leslie Freer. Four
days of the precious time have passed
when Terhune is called to London on
business. Agatha First, on the plea of
sickness, excuses herself from a motor
trip planned by the Vincents. Later they
see Agatha First picking flowers with a
strange man. The Vincents discuss
Agatha's seeming duplicity The follow
ing day the party visits the ruins of an
old convent. Terhune continues his at
tenttons to Agatha Sixth. Then suddenly
he transfers his attentions to Agatha
First. Vincent scores him for his appar-
ent fckleness. The last evening of the
time allotted in which to become engaged
arrives.

(TO BE CoNTINUED1
"Grey" and "Gray."

What is the difference, If any, be-
tween grey" and gray" aside from
the matter Of spelling?
The editor of the Oxford Dictionary
some years ago made extended inquiry
AS to usage. and found that opinions
in London varied. Replies to his ques-
tons showed that In Great Britain
the form grey is the more frequent
in use, despite the authority of DR.
Johnson and later photographers, who
give the preference to gray. Many
correspondents said that they used
the two forms with a difference Of
meaning, or application, the distinc-
ton most generally recognized being
that grey donates more delicate or
lighter tint than gray. Others con-
sidered the difference to be that gray
is a warmer color. or that IT has a
mixture of red or brown. Another
group held that grey has more OF
sentiment. gray more of color, which
may mean that grey is a suggestion
rather than a positive outline

For all the world as if the day II her
aided was not a critical one for one of
It's members. and an axious one for his

own ! felt alarmed for the success of
our plans when thought of the events
OF that evening and the shocking dis
closure of Terhune's INCONSISTENCY. to
the very one of all others from whom
it should have been hidden.
Poor old Arch!" I said to myself as
l sat down at the breakfast table and
began to read the paper until the
others should join me- I'm afraid he's
gone and done it now, He's made a
bally mess of it this time, as sure as

pearances, secretly ! hoped, if Agatha

place little chatter about unimportant
things, just as if nothing had happened
at all. Nor did the appearance of
Agatha First and Terhune one after
the other at all disturb their beautiful
serenity.
Strange to say, Terhune gave no
evidence of any inward disquiet or
cause for alarm. He showed not the
falntest symptoms of a guilty con-
science, but laughed and chatted with
his customary sociability. If it had
not been for his persistent avoidance
OF conversation with Agatha First
should have been convinced in spite
OF the evidence of my own eyes that
he was not the traitor and double
dealer we had every reason to think
him, but an upright and innocent gen
tleman deeply in love with Agatha
Sixth and Agatha Sixth only, his
straying toward Agatha First having
been but temporary swerving from
the path of loyalty. born only of his
conceit and thirst for fattery. I'm
bound to concede, however, that he

Lawrence, who met his advances with
unfailing courtesy. it is true. but a

CHAPTER Ix.-Continued.)

The conclusion was obvious and we
fell away from our point of vantage
at the door and looked at each other
with scared and troubled faces. Our
attempts to make a match for Agatha
Sixth and win Terhune fortune were
certainly going wrong with a ven
geance.
But the worse was not yet Before
we had time to more than breathe a
new complication presented itself in
the shape Of the sudden appearance of
Agatha Sixth upon the scene.
We met her at the foot of the stairs
just as we were going up, wrapper
clad and with long black braids hang
ing over her shoulders. | felt myself
grown quite cat-like In regard to see
ing in the dark, and had perceived
who she was and the vital necessity
of keeping our discovery a secret from
her, before my wife had time to more
than gasp a greeting.

she inquired.
Yes. What is it?" whispered back
Agatha Sixth, peering at US from the
stairs, and by Jove, felt so sorry for
the poor girl if she should see what
we had just seen that l rather lost
my head.

handed Miss Lawrence suspiciously,
as she came and stood beside us. And
I cursed myself for a blunderer as
she said 1t. Then Dearest had a go
at the situation, and felt that if this
attempt failed we could do nothing
more to save the girl from the certain
misery she seemed so eager to bring
upon herself.
Il lit the lamp, darling" she said,
standing directly in front of the doors
so that Agatha Sixth's view was cut

ATTITUDE IS WARL|KE
PERU AND ECUADOR CONTINUE
IN PREPARATION.
This Government Under Impression
Mediation Offer Had Been
Accepted.

Official dispatches received at the
State Department from both Lima.
Peru, and Quito, Ecuador. indicate that
warlike preparations between Peru and
Ecuador are being rapidly pushed
forward and that a conflict seems in
evitable.
In view Of the fact that both Peru and
Ecuador had accepted without reserve
Secretary Knoxs proposition for the
United States, Brazil and Argentine to
mediate between those two countries in
the matter of their boundary dispute, the
State Department officials are at a loss to
understand their present attitude.
Gals that in accepting the mediation
proposition they had of necessity ac-
cepted the conditions proposed by the
offer, the principal one being the tmme-
date withdrawal of their respective
armies from the common frontier.
Official kilograms and the assurance
here Of the ministers representing. both
Peru and Ecuador left no doubt in the
minds of the officials that an amicable
the two countries was a reasonable eN-
pectation.
Last Thursday Secretary Knox adj
dressed a communication to the two gov
ernments making inquiry to when
the movement for withdrawal Of the
troops might be expected to begin, but
up to this time no answers have been
received. There is reason to believe that
Secretary Knox, acting in conjunction
tine, will make some further effort in
the direction Of peace. but the nature of
these efforts have not yet been dis
closed.
