SEATTLE, May 17.-Asserting
that he had received a death note
written in Greek from Vacsileios
Squouromalles, of 1877 Seventh
avenue, demanding the immediate
payment of $500, M. j. Helesses,
III Occidental avenue, yesterday,
appealed to the prosecuting attor-
ney for protection. He charged
that the note threatened that IL
he did not send the cash at once
he would be shot to death and his
body thrown into the Sound.
Helesses, who was very much
excited, said that a roommate of
Sqouromalles had delivered the
death note and he feared that II
would be carried out.

Splendid New Quarters of Pioneer
Jeweler Marks Another Epoch
in City's Mercantile Growth.

Representing "a years of un-
ceasing vigilance for the goal of
craft leadership in Tacoma, An
drews' Jewelry store will be form
ally opened Wednesday afternoon
between and 5 O'Clock in hand
some new quarters at 1880 Paci-
fic avenue.
The date marks still another inn
portant step forward in the mer-
camille life of Tacoma and will
not only be a time for compli-
ments to S. A. Andrews, but to a
city that makes such an institu-
ton possible.
Twenty-four years ago Sam
Andrews came to Tacoma-it was
a town then-with a fixed re-
solve to make good" His first
venture was tiny jewelry shop al
Pacific avenue and South 18th
street. For a while it was "hard
picking" but gradually prosper.
ity Joined hands with the business
and Andrews moved uptown as fan
las 1144 Pacific avenue. Here the
store remained some years, then
as the city grew another move was
made, this time 10 numbers near
er 18th street. Here Mr.. Andrews
built up a trade and equipped a
store that was for years one OF
Tacoma's best, but even that did
not measure to the standard An
Idrews had fixed for himself.
A year ago the opportunity to
go two doors nearer yet to 18th
street and in quarters specially de-
signed for a jewelry emporium was
Offered, and, although it meant
no small sacrifice before the
change could be effected, Mr.. An.
drews resolved and his closest
competitors now concede his wis
dom. There may be more beauti-
fully fitted jewelry stores in the
Northwest, but they have yet to
put in an appearance, according
to those who have made pre-open-
ing visits to the new Andrews To-
cation.
Splendid Interior Finish.
For months decorative artisans
have toiled preparing the space.
Gomoil & Co. of Seattle had a
big crew Of cabinet workers build
ing the stock fixtures. The An
drus-Cushing Lighting company of
Tacoma had charge of electric fix
ture installation, while Carl Regi-
ma, an expert mural decorator,
came all the way from New York
to supervise the tinting.
The stock cases are In a light,
finish, heavily marble stabbed and
designed for the perfect case dis
play of jewelry. Wide transomsI
and lavish mirroring give a per-
feet distribution of light by day.
while $4,000 electric candlepower
is available for night Illumination.
For the space it occupies the new
Jewelry store is the most
brilliantly lighted shop in Tacoma.

About one o'clock the wind fresh
ened and the trees flung out their
arms like runners rushing before it;

the care of Laurance Donovan, a writer,
summering near Port Annandale: Miss
Patricia conflded to Donovan that she

a bank failure, had constantly threatened
her. Donovan discovered and captured
an intruder, who proved to be Reginald
Gillespie, sutton for the hand of Helen.
Donovan saw Miss Holbrook and her ia

fought an italian assassin. He met the
man he supposed was Holbrook, but who
said he was Hartridge, a canoe-maker:
fighting Henry HolbroOk and not seeking
another hiding place. Donovan met Helen
in garden at night. Duplicity of Helen
was confessed by the young lady At
night, disguised as a nun, Helen stole

and they departed. Donovan met the
real RosaIind. who by night he had sup

Rosalind, were as much alike as twins.
Thus Helen's supposed duplicity was ex-

his assistance in bringing Miss Patricia

years. Donovan refused to aid. He met
Gillespie and planned a coup. By making

Leeches are enumerated by the bu-

value of the imports of this species
in 1908 having been $5,341; in 1907,
$6.922; in 1906, $4,494; in 1905, $3,S62;
in 1904, $3.50; in 1903, $3,24O, and in
1902, $2,412-the commerce In leeches
being thus of growing character.
The total number of leeches Inn

decade ending with 1908, is about $40,-

Benefit in Outdoor Schools.

Speaking before the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis recently, Dr. Henry Far
mum Stoll of Hartford, Conn, said:
Every city should have one or more
outdoor school," He recommended
such institutions for all delicate, so
called scrofulous or anaemic children,
and those with tuberculosis of the
bones, who. are now in ordinary
schools. Doctor Stoll declared that
twenty or forty per cent. of school
children in large cities are infected
with tuberculosis. BY the use of tu-
berculin, it was ascertained that 70 per
cent. of the children from tuberculous
homes were infected as against only 26
per cent of those from supposedly
healthy homes. 1t was also found that
so per cent. of the frail children from
healthy homes had the germs of the
disease, but that only 13 per cent. of
the robust children from similar homes
were thus affected.

CHAPTER XIV.
Daybreak.

Dayprcdk.
At midnight Gillespie and discussed
the days affairs on the terrace at
Glenarm. There were long pauses in
our talk. Such things as we had seen
and heard that night, in the canoe
makers shop on the little creek, were
beyond our poor range of words. And
in the silences my own reflections
were not wholly happy. If Miss Pat
and Rosalind had not followed me to
the canoe-maker's l might have spared
Helen; but looking back, would not
| change it now If l could. Helen had
returned to St. Agatha's with her aunt,
who would have it so; and We had
parted at the school door, Miss Pat
and Helen, Gillespie and /, with re-
straint heavy upon us all. Miss Pat
had, it seemed, summoned her lawyer
| from New York several days before, to
! discuss the final settlement Of her ia
theirs estate; and he was expected the
to Glenarm for breakfast; and Arthur
Holbrook and Rosalind, and Henry,
who had broken down at the end, had
agreed to come.
AS We talked on, Gillespie and 1,
there under the stars, he disclosed,
all unconsciously, new and surprising
traits, and I felt my heart warming to
J him.
| Hes a good deal of a man, that
| Arthur Holbrook," he remarked after
long pause. He's beyond me. The
man who runs the enemy's lines to
bring relief to the garrison, or the
leader of a forlorn hope, is tame after
this. / suppose the world would call
him fool"
Undoubtedly" / answered. "But
he didn't do it for the world; he did
it for himself We can't applaud a
thing like that in the usual phrases
NO." Gillespie added; "only get
down on our knees and bow our
heads in the dust before it,"
He rose and paced the long terrace
In his boat-shoes and white fiannels
he glided noiselessly back and forth
like ghost in the star dusk. He
paused at the western balustrade and
looked off at St Agatha's. Then he
passed me and paused again, gazing
lakeward through the wood as though
turning from Helen to Rosalind; ant
/ knew that 1t was with her, far over
the water, in the little cottage at Rec
Gate, that his thoughts fingered. Blu
