Well, as last alternative, rather
than reship all these fine pianos
back east, the factory people made
a tremendous sacrifice and selected
our house to close out the entire
shipment at the ridiculously low
prices we are selling at. l tell you,
continued Mr.. Jones', the family
that does not clinch this chance to
save big money on a piano will lose
an opportunity that question very
much will ever present itself In
this community again. Why. we
are actually selling the highest
class pianos at less than is ordinar-
lily asked for medium grades, and at
saving of $154, $16S, SITS and in
some cases, 5000 and 1894. have
been in the piano business longer
than any other piano man or COM
pany in Spokane, and this Is the
first time l have ever known such
big and actual reductions-and on
the best pianos. at that. There's
no excuse for any one now to go
hunting around for a cheap new
piano or some old, second hand in
strument while the factory people
are selling the very cream of Amer
ica's brand new, high grade pianos
at only $192, 5000, $2.7, 1924 and
1887. Not only that, but look at the
terms-as low as 81, Sc, So or $40 a
month. In fact, whatever terms
suits the customer best. The Mark
+. Jones Piano Co. has never had
any so-called special sales in the
past, for the simple reason that
genuine price cutting opportunities
like this do not come but very, very
seldom-if ever. And we most ear
nestly and sincerely believe in true
representation of facts, and moth
ing more. In this case, though, we
are not only helping the manufac-
turers out Of serious difficulty,
hut we are actually saving to each
piano purchaser handsome sum of
money and making more friends
every day-which all gives us real
pleasure.

It was nearly 9 o'clock In the
evening. The night was dark and
blustery, the wind whistled about
the street corners and played merry
pranks with feminine petticoats
and masculine .headgear. A tiny
newsboy stood in the entrance OF a
shadowy olleyway near the corner
of Riverside avenue and Howard
street and wept bitterly.
The boys clothing was worn and
old, and he shivered as the chill
breeze swept through the numerous
holes in his none too numerous
clothing. His cap was pulled down
over his brow and he wiped the
tears from his face with grimy
paw. The boy was hardly visible,
but his sobs were plainly audible.
A kindly passerby stopped to en-

Their Great Manufacturers Price
Cutting Piano Sale. Eighteen
Pianos Sold the First

If anyone has any doubt about
the unusually prosperous conditions
now prevailing in Spokane, it is
only necessary to call at Mark

rooms, opposite the Northern Pa
cific railroad passenger station, and
witness the busy scenes there.
Mark Jones. the senior member
was compelled on Saturday to EN-
ploy additional help in order to wait
on piano purchasers. Eighteen
pianos found homes in this city on
Saturday. This, we believe, is the
highest one days selling record in
Spokane's piano trade. This brisk
piano buying at this old established
company's store is not to be won
dered at, however. when we take
into consideration the fact that
Mark F. Jones & Sons are cutting
prices in most severe manner on
some of the very finest makes OF
pianos manufactured. To use Mr.
Jones own words, this is a most
wonderful piano occasion. 1t is all
the manufacturers doings. They
intended opening branch store OF
their own in Spokane, but at the
last minute disagreement arose
about certain alterations which
were absolutely necessary to be
made in the building they intended
to occupy. Neither side would give
way and the result is that the fac.
tory people, whom we have known
for great many years, came to us
and at first offered to buy out our
entire business so as to get even a
temporary location to display their
fine pianos. This, of course, l could
not entertain, as l am very justly
proud of the business myself
and sons have built up in
the Inland Empire, extending over
a period of "a years-besides, Spo.
kane is my home; my sons have
their homes here-we are Spokane
people, and expect to remain so all
the days of our lives. Then, again,
the thousands Of good people who
have bought their pianos from us
for the past "a years are all our
true friends, for we have always
sold pianos on the principle that a
satisfied customer is something
more than what is usually termed
the best customer. We say such
become friends in every sense OF
the word.

TEN MINUTES I'm
LAND OF STORIES

Gear will be seated alone y his
summer house"
The revolutionaries had won over
the youig captain after months of
propaganda. At first allured by
the novelty of their doctrine, he
had become insensibly affected by
it; and they had led him on until
he came to regard the assassination
of the rules as the sole deed that
would set Russia free. But he
was one of the Cars trusted body
guard and would not bring his cour-
age to the point of himself commit
ting the deed.
This was the plan: The czar was
then summering in his Finnish pal
ace, surrounded by extensive

grounds. They had discovered that
in the night man might scale the
wall at certai npoint and creep
among the bushes within fifty yards
of where the car took his evening
stroll, between two lines of SEN
tries. At the end OF the path was
a summer house in which he rested
and smoked his cigar. At 10
clock, when night had just fallen,
the sentries were changed, and for
three minutes the monarch was left
unguarded. During this period the
assassin might creep up with a
dagger in his hand, stab, and es-
cape in the darkness.
The officer would give the boot
of the owl at the precise moment,
stepping off among the trees. On
this the deed depended.
For half an hour the assassin had
crouched among the shruby within
the palace grounds. And at last
his patience was rewarded. He
heard clank of arms, and through
the gathering darkness saw two
posts on either side of thin path.
Down this, presently, came the
faintest, crimson light. The assas-
sin trembled with eagerness. 1t
was the monarch's cigar.
The light moved slowly tword a
dark, oval object at the end of the
path, and disappeared. The czar
had gone inside. Then the last ves-
tiges of daylight died away, and
nothing was visible; only the mo-
notonous pacing of the sentries was
audible, and the clank of the side
arms. Yet, through his Invisible
space, the assassin knew that he
could creep. straigh as an arrow to
the mark, the dagger in his hand.
He would crawl stealthily to the
summer house; one leap within,
three or four desperate stabs, and,
before the cars dying cries had
caused to pulsate through the aid,
he would be away, scurrying silent
ly through the trees to the encom-
passing wall, outside of which a
swift horse awaited to bear him to
the waiting boat upon the Finland
shore.
All this flashed through his mind
as he crouched there. Presently a
new sound broke upon his ears. 1t
was the marching of armed men,
moving from another direction; it
was the guard. And suddenly he
heard, very clearly and life-like, the
boot of the owl, from a tree behind
the summer house.
He leaped to his feet, sinking
without sound through the tall
underground, until the summer
house was visible, not 20 yards
away, and, within it, the red glow
of the cigar Now was the time to
strike. His hands trembled so that
he could scarcely hold the weapon;
but, casting aside all precautions
since the time was desperately
short he leaped upon the path,
found the entrance to which the
monarch sat, and sprang within, his
arm appraised.
And instantly a lantern flashed, a
shot rang out, and the man sank
dying upon the floor.
In his death agonies he saw the
cars startled leap backward; he
looked up into the faces of his
guard. He had been betrayed by
his confederate!
Then, loudly, from a tree over
head, the owl hooted again, and yet
once more. This was no mimic
voice; the owl itself had betrayed
him. 1t was an intervention on
which he had not counted. But. as
his senses failed him, he heard the
false boot of the confederate among
the trees.
He had been three minutes too
early!
