Dear Miss Grey: My little girl OF
Ave has begun to freckle badly. Please
give me advice. MOTHER.
A.--Often children freckle and after
a few years the trouble entirely dis
appears. The lighter complexion of
childhood favors the freckles. The
best preventive is to let the child be
out in the sun. wind and rain until
the whole face Is a uniform brown
and red--a healthy complexion. I'm
less the brown spots are not freckles.

there Is no need Of worry or treat

wrong TO flirt. What Is flirting and

girl Of seventeen TO be engaged to a
man who has no visible means of

toward a comparatively strange man

to marry him, and at other times I
don't. What do you advise?

Dear Miss Grey: How can clean

with questions concerning his business in Edelweiss. Threats followed close upon his unsatisfactory answers. though they were absolutely truthful.
 "We'll fiEd a way to make you talk tomorrow, my friend! Starving is not pleasant"
 "You would not starve me" he cried.
 'No. You will have the pleasure of starving yourself" said a thin eyed fellow whom he afterward knew as Peter Brutus.
 He was thrown back into the little room. To his surprise and gratifica- tion the bonds on his wrists were re- moved.
 He found match in his box and struck it. There was no article of furniture. The floor was bare, the walls green with age. A chimney hole in the ceiling was perhaps the only means by which fresh air could reach this dreary place. Sleep was claiming his. senses. He made a pillow Of his coat and stretched his weary bones upon the relentless floor. "No one will ever know" he mur- mured, his last waking thought being of dear one at home.

"Count Marlanx VIII be ready on the 26th. He has said so. A new strike will be declared ou the railroad on the 25th, and the strikers will be in the city with their grievances. Saturdays cele- bration will bring men from the noun tains and the mines to town. A single blow. and we have won." So spoke Brutus.
 "We must not-we cannot fail," grat- ed William Spantz. and the cry was re- iterated by half a dozen voices.
 The next morning. after sleepless night, Truxton King made his first de termined attempt to escape.
 He knew that two armed men Stood guard in tue outer room day and night. The door to the stairway leading into the armorer's shop was of iron and heavily barred: the door opening into the sewer waS even more securely bolted. Besides, there was great stone door at the foot of the passage. The keys to these two doors were never out of the possession of William Spantz. One of his guards held the key to. the stairway door. His only chance lay in his ability to suddenly overpower two men and make off by way of the armorer's shop.
 When his little door was opened on the morning of the 23d Truxton Kings long, powerful. figure shot through as | if sped by a catapult. The man with the candle and the knife went down like beef. foored by a. blow on the 1 jaw. -..-4- cTo be continued.)

THIRD HOLY ROLLER
DIES FROM FASTING
Mrs. Nellie Boyle Latest Victim
of Fanatical Abstinence

Los ANGELES. Aug. 31.-Mrs Nell
lie Boyle, one of the four Holy Rollers
who entered upon a fast, which lasted
3S days before being interrupted by
the police, died at the county hospital
today from starvation. Two others,
John Irving O'Neil and Alice Griffin, a
:16 year old girl, died scome days ago.
James Butler, only survivor of the
long fast, clings tenaciously to life and
the physicians say that he will prob
ably recover.
Mrs. Boyle was 4S years old and a
native of wisconsin. but all efforts to
locate relatives have been futile. She
will be buried here.
The cult had membership of 500
persons about five months ago. but
O'Neil's following deserted until only
the. four remained. The little group
locked and barred themselves in the
house about seven weeks ago. and be-
gan their season of abstinence
On Friday, August 19, neighbors
noticed the emaciated appearance of
Alice Griffin, who was seen opening a
window of the house and the investi-
cation quickly followed.

SHACK SPOILED BY
EAST Street FIRE
Unsightly Buildings Opposite
Ferry Remain as an Eye
sore After Blaze

The ramshackle collection of frame
buildings at the corner of East, Market
and Sacramento streets. opposite the
ferry depot, narrowly escaped destruc-
ton yesterday afternoon by a fire
which started in the second story,
above the United Cigar Stores branch
in East street. TWO alarms were turned
in and the firemen had the blaze under
control before il had a chance TO
spread very far.
The room where the fire started was
used as a candy factory. The fire
blazed up quickly and looked quite
serious when the fire fighters arrived.
The buildings in the center Of which
hit fire ragged have long been an eye
sore and but for the losses sustained
by the tenants their destruction would
be regarded as in the nature of All
Improvement. II is believed, however,
that the damage can be repaired and
that the unsightly buildings that mark
the entrance to the city's principal
street will remain until next May,
when they must be torn down. The
buildings were put up inRmedia teiy
after the big fire. They were make
shifts then and have not improved
with aye,
The most serious damage done by
the fire was to the branch OF the
United cigar stores. The stock, valued
at Sc O00, is regarded as a total loss.
Jack Welch's saloon and the Gunst
cigar store in front escaped damage by
either fire or water The property is
owned by the Cowen lime and cement
company.

PROMINENT PASTOR
STRICKEN SUDDENLY
Rev. George c. Adams Found
Unconscious in Cottage and
Condition Is Precarious

Rev. George c. Adams, pastor of the
First Congregational church of this
city, who suffered a severe stroke of
apoplexy in his cottage in Mill Valley
last Thursday, continues in a precarious
condition. While DR.. G. III. Palmer, the
family physician, holds out strong
hopes for the recovery of his patient,
it is not believed that DR.. Adams ever
will be q BILE to resume his active service
in the ministry.
1t was with the idea of taking a
days rest in his Mill Valley place that
DR. Adams left his home at 2710 Devtsa-
dero street last Thursday and proceeded
across the bay. Shortly after entering
the place he fell PROSTATE across the
bed, suffering from weakness of the
heart and an apoplectic stroke.
When he failed to return home at his
usual time in the afternoon Mrs. Adams
tried to reach him by telephone, but
was unsuccessful. She then telephoned
to the home of DR.. Rens, which is OPP
gate The house was found to be
locked, with no signs of life inside.
Mrs Adams had Louis Hoffman and a
son of DIR. Rens go to the house little
later This time it was found that the
key was on the inside of the lock. The
door was broken open and DR.. Adams
was found in an unconscious condition.
DR.. Rens administered emergency treat
ment.
Had another hour elapsed before DIR.
Adams was found there would have
been no. chance for his recovery.

Murray Well Known Here

David s. Murray was known in this
city as man of much wit and ability.
In August. 1908. he became general
superintendent of plant for the Pacific
telephone and telegraph company here,
with offices in the Shreve building.
After four months in this position, dur
ing which he introduced many innova-
tons, he was forced to resign because
of the strain on his health.
He then interested himself in pro-
noting the Northern building company.
with offices in the Humboldt bank
building. He suffered quite a loss when
that company failed After some I'M
successful ventures in Los Angeles he
went to Salt Lake.
Murray formerly lived with his wife
and daughter at the st. Francis hotel,
but the family later moved 70 the
Carlton hotel. Berkeley. They left
April Is TO visit friends in Los Angeles
and were reported to have proceeded to
Salt Lake last week
j. Z. Murray, brother, committed
suicide in Portland in 1908 David Muir
ray frequently told his friends that
there was a suicidal tendency in his
family. Financial reverses are be-
lieved TO have prompted him to hurI
himself to death.
