From somewhere in Colorado she

When. Halsey learned the truth, he
insisted on going the next morning,
weak as he was, to Louise, and by
night she was at Sunnyside. under
Gertrude's particular care, while her
mother had gone to Barbara Fitz-

He and Louise had no conversation

CHAPTER xxxIII.-continued.

As Alex and I reached the second
floor. Mr.. Jameson met us. He was
grave and quiet, and he nodded COM
prehendingly when he saw the safe.
"Will you come with me for mo-
ment, Miss Innes?" he asked soberly.
and on my asserting, he led the way
to the east wing. There were lights
moving around below. and some OF
the maids were standing gaping down.
They screamed when they saw me,
and drew back to let me pass. There
was a sort of hush over the scene;
Alex, behind me, muttered something
] could not hear. and brushed past me
without ceremony. Then ] realized
that man was lying doubled up at
the foot of the staircase. and that
Alex was STOPPING over him.
As came slowly down. Winters
stepped back, and Alex Strengthened
himself, looking at me across the
body with impenetrable eyes. In his
hand be held shaggy gray wig. and
before me on the floor lay the man
whose headstone stood in Casanova
churchyard-Paul Armstrong.
Winters told the story in a dozen
words. In his headlong flight down
the circular staircase, with Winters
Just behind, Paul Armstrong had
pitched forward violently. struck his
head against the door to the east YER
anda. and probably broken his neck.
He had died as Winters reached him.

my arms around my boy. and for a

I was unable to speak. Twice i

quite unconscious of us: her head was
on his shoulder. his face against her
hair. As 1t happened. 1t was Mr..
Jameson who broke up the tableau.

touched him on the arm.

NOBLEMAN OF PRUSSIA
FORMS ANANIAS CLUB
Prince Henry Places English
Writer at the Head

Prince Henry of Prussia has started
an Ananias club of his own and has
placed on the roll magazine writer
whose article said that the navy Ger
many was building could only be des-
tined to attack England, and that the
German naval officers favorite toast
was ''Am tag''-on the day-meaning
thereby "A daylight attack upon Eng
land" says the Chicago Tribune.
The fact that such a ridiculous de-
duction of the alleged toast of the
German jingoes should be taken seri-
ously in England proves that the war
scare has by no means passed away
in that country. 1t may be laughable,
but it nevertheless is significant of the
deep unrest in Great Britain
England joined with the rest of the
world in laughing at the fright which
led the Russians TO ire on the DOgger
bank fishermen, but it was only short
time until all England became hysteTi-
cal at mysterious hostile airships how
ering over the land, at stories of thou
sands of German spies acting as
walters and in other menial capacities
for the purpose of furnishing their
government with information, and at
other will o. the wisps and bogy men.
London worked itself into a state of
frantic patriotism over play produced
last year with the object of stirring
national feeling. and English statesmen
do not dare to say anything which may
be construed into pessimistic outlook
on the prowess of the army and navy.

OLD TIME ALMANAC is

DOG WHICH OWNS SIS, 900
GETS TAXES SWORN OFF
City Bonds Held in Trust for
Life of the Anima!

There is a tax payer on the city rolls
who has a tail and barks like a dog.
Yesterday his taxes were sworn off for
him, because his holdings consist of
$4,000 in city bonds, which are exempt
from taxation, relates the New York
World.
There is very good reason for the
tail and also for the bark. The owner
of the $1,000 worth of city bonds is a
dog. He did not appear in person to
bark his taxes off. instead very per-
turbed man appeared at the tax depart
ment and went through the formalities.
What assets have you?" asked Pres
ident Lawson Purdy-
Five thousand dollars worth of city
bonds, held in trust for a dog during
his lifetime" said the man.
Then the dog is the real owner;
that's a good newspaper story" said
Purdy.
Thereupon the man became greatly
excited and begged Purdy not to re-
veal his name. Purdy consented.

legatee?" asked some one.
