Good night, my sweet wife-to-

who stood in the doorway.
He had won her heart and SO he
was very happy. As he swung
1auntily out of the yard into the
road he whistled loudly a gay
tune.
He had Just five miles OF road
ahead Of him, but then, the night
was bright with moonlight and his
heart was bright with dove.
George had scarcely rounded
the curve about a mile from his
starting point when a figure dart

behind him. George was whistl-
ing SO shril1y and such riot of
thoughts were racing through his
brain that he'd not hear the
brush crack, nor did he look
aronnd to see the plated weapon
blink In the moons rays.
Ambrose Pierre was a sure shot

hated George since he found he
was winning Grace from him,
That very afternoon he had sought
her hand and had failed in his err

He had followed his rival nearly
q mile and a half storing up muir

George reached the top of this he
paused a moment to look ON the
scene Of beauty about him. His
figure stood out sharply and black
against the face OF the setting
moon. The worst kind OF shot
could have picked him off at thai
distance and with that background
Pierre raised his gun. The
moonlight scintillated along the

FORMER PREMIER MARA
 UNDER HEAVY GUARD ON ACCOUNT OF THREATS MADE

Madrid, July 20-As a result of the threats against his life made by Dep uty Iglessias upon the floor of the Spanish parliament. former Premier Mara has been placed under a heavy guard by Premier Canaljeas. A car riage full of policemen follow him when he drives out, a squad always keeps him in sight when he walks along the streets. and his house is con- Stantly under the eyes of uniformed and plainc1othes watchers. At the same time the government still shows that it is afraid to call Igfessias to ac- count. What makes the situation se- riouS is that Iglessias' opinions are evil dently those of the masses of the peo- pie. They are voiced freely on the streets and in the cafes of Madrid.

 Washington. July 20-Three young white women-two of them dying and one almost insane-were taken in charge here today by the police who charged that they are the victims Of the mysterious machinations Nof the Rev. Jonah Samuel Sturdevant, ne gro preacher, who is serving a three year jail sentence in Baltimore for bigamy
 Gertrude Monsen. one of the victims. who year ago was a blooming sturdy Norwegian girl and just arrived in this country to seek her fortune, lies in Georgetown hospital wasting away with the dread disease. peliagra, her case being the first known thus far north. The police today, after con- sulting physicians who have been ex- as they have learned it. declared that the MIonsen girl had brought the scourge upon herself through fasting and self-inflicted punishment which she underwent during the long hours of incantation and mysterious religious rites by which she hoped to bring about the miraculous opening of the negro preachers prison doors.
 Hilda Johnson, also a Norwegian inn migrant whom the preacher married and who was the most beautiful of the three a year ago. lies today wasted away and dying in a negro hospital where she recently became a mother.
 Addie Codding, the third girl was found living in a bare room empty of furniture and food. above a hove1 oc- cupied by Mother" Williams. a des- titute negro woman. The girl was al- most insane from want. hunger and neglect, as the result of the peculiar religious frenzy from which she suf- fered.
 The Williams woman told the police that she prayed and sang all day and all night.

ARGENTINA OFFICERS
 COMING HERE TO BE
 UNCLE SAWS GUESTS
Special from United Press,


 Washington. July 20-Twenty off, cers of Argentina, the southern most nation protected by the Monroe Doe Urine, will visit the United States this fall as the guests of the government. This is accounted one of the results of the visit of General Leonard Wood to Buenos Ayres as a special envoy Of the United States at the centennial celebration of the Argentine fndeperd- ence. A particularly friendly recep- tion was given the United States dele gation and it was credited in part to the fact that this government was first to recognize the independence of the southern republic.
 There is a disposition in some quar- ters to attach an unusual significance to the visit Of the Argentina officers because the German army has furnish ed the instructors for Argentina sol- diers. The visit is construed as pcs~ sibly indicating the selection Of Amer ican officers as instructors. Others who are well informed as to military conditions in the republic however, are inclined to the opinion that the train ing of Argentina officers has reached such a point that foreign instruction for the army will not be necessary.

THREE YOUNG WHITE WOMEN VICTIMS OF NEGRO PREACHER
 NOW SERVING JAIL SENTENCE

Olga Branton, who travelled from Nor way at the instance of the aged par entS of the Johnson girl, and came here in search of her. She enlisted the aid of Mrs. B. E. Graves. a mission work CT. and together they discovered the strange combination of circumstances which trace back to the peculiar power of the jailed negro preacher.
 Addie Codding today told the police that she had two married sisters in Boston. She talked calmly. openly defending the negro prophet. T have been, called by the Almighty since l was 12 years o1d," she said. When I can ! intend to go to Africa. Brother Sturdevant was given a revelation and those who know have followed him. He is in jail now. but our sacrifices will open the doors as they were thrown open to Apostle Peter
 The "black prophet" is said to have practiced his powers in New York, Baltimore. Philadelphia and Newport News as we'll as in washington. When the negro was in Baltimore, it was all legged that he presented to the white women a leather strap. and when charged with this in court was said to have admitted and declared he did it to drive devils out of them. It was learned that he had negro wife when he married the white girl and a charge of bigamy was offered. The arrest was made here and the police believed they broke up the band of women fol- lowers.
 When the reports were made to the police today it was the first heard of the women since Sturdevant was jail- ed. Government physicians have been studying the case of Gertrude Monsen. who has little chance of recovery
 She has not been told of what she is suffering and evidently believes her body is being wasted away in sacrifice for the negro preacher. At times she talks of him and the nurses say she told them that she had to fast and suffer to bring about his deliverance.
 Addie Codding will probably be sent to Boston and if through fortune and expert attention there the girl recov- CTS, she will be sent back to Norway

LOUCKS SUCCESSOR ON
 STATE POLICE WILL NOT BE APPOINTED JUST YET.

Hartford, July 20.-According to statement made by Thomas F. Ezan, superintendent of the state police, there is little probability of an cary appointment of man to succeed State Policeman Merrill s. Loucks of Ashford. There are seven regular po- licemen on the force at the present time and this number is within three of the maximum number allowed by law. There were eight men on the state police force when MT. Loucks was a member of it. Under the law the superintendent is empowered to employ consta bles and deputy sf1erfHs when he needs their services in addi- ton to the men who are on his rexu- lar force. With this power in the hands of the superintendent it is not able to carry out the purpose of the organization through want of suf1cf ent helD
