A COHEN COMEDY.

"Forty-fve Minutes From Broad

showed to good audiences at the FL
Paso theater Saturday and Sunday
nights.
While the show was not UP to the
Broadway standard 1t passed muster
and afforded many laugh to the two
audiences who witnessed ii here.
Miss Elizabeth Drew, as Mary Jane.
won the hearts of her audience with
her clever acting-and she is also
very pretty-but her singing was a
disappointment.
Charley Brown, who was seen hera
last year as Johnny Jones. takes the
role of Kid Burns, the prize fighter,
and is the co-star with Miss Drew. The
audience did not warm up to the young
man In the first act, but after that, he

The male chorus was in very good

On the whole the show gave the
people plenty of fun and enjoyment.

RATE OF PAY FOR
CENSUS TAKERS
Schedule Is Higher in Com
munities Where Living

A bulletin has been issued from the
census bureau in Washington. which
gives the rate of pay and the classlfl-
cation of rates for the census enumera-
tors.
The varying wage scales in the dlf-
ferent parts of the United States and
the extent of the local difficulties con-
fronting the enumerators have guided
The census director in Washington in
fixing enumerator's compensation
The different classes Of rates VIII be
so applied thatin general the average
enumerator viii earn the same amount,
even though the population in one dis
trict may be such sparser than in an
other and other conditions also differ
ent.
Where the per capita rates VIII not
give sufficient pay the per diem rates
are prescribed. The rates in general
will be so adjusted as TO give a slightly
higher average amount to the enumera-
tors than they received in 100. Per diem
rates will be paid TO the enumerators
in the sparsely settled rural districts
of Texas, Arizona, California, Colorado,
Idaho. Montana, Utah, Washington and

RINEHART

"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 1 realized
that man was lying doubled up at
the foot of the staircase, and that
Alex was STOPPING over him.
AS 1 came slowly down, Winters
stepped back, and Alex Strengthened
himself, looking at me across the
body with impenetrable eyes. In his
hand he held a 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 fight 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.

BIC CROWD GOES
Up To BUY Las
CRUCES LOTS
Over Hundred and Fifty Ell
Pasoans on the EXcur-
sion Sunday.

Exactly 153 FL Pasoans went to Las
Cruces Sunday morning TO attend the
land sales in Grandview addition and
in the Shropshire tract. One hundred
and seventy-three lots were sold in the
former addition and several large
tracts in the latter plot were sold to
members of the excursion party. Those
who bought received a refund OF the
money that they had expended for rail-
road fare from the Las Cruces Realty
company.
At Grandview there was a large
shed constructed where all in the party
and a number of Las Cruces residents
partook of barbecued meat and the
finest coffee that they ever drank.
The table was presided over by
young women and all were pleased
with the fare provided.
The train left the union depot at $3.50
Sunday morning and two hours later
the excursionists arrived in Las Cru
ces, where they were taken to Grand
view addition in automobiles and hacks
though there were q few who preferred
to walk in order to get little exer-
else after the ride on the train.
Many improvements Made.
There was lively sale of lots and
even those who did not purchase prop
Cruces would in a few years be the
LARGEST city close to Ell Paso. They
were impressed by the improvements
being made. the long lines of sidewalks
and the paved street direct from the
depot to the main street. which has
increase Of the appearance and the COM
mercial value Of property all along the
line.
Grandview is on a little knoll three
blocks from the Loretto academy and
five blocks from the main business
street, and is an ideal location for a
home, just far enough away from the
business district to make il the most
desirable location that could be found.
After looking over the Grandview
addition. the visitors drove in automo-
biles and carriages TO the Shropshire
tract, about three miles north of town
in a fertile section where land is on
sale at a most reasonable figure.
Considerable work at a great ex-
pense was undergone in clearing off
Shropshire tract, cutting out mesquite
and other roots and preparing Ii for
farming. Water will be plentiful here
when the Engle dam is finished and the
property will be worth considerably

home, but said an inward something
told him to wait
All last week Hallowell walked FL
Paso streets very thoroughly, and
seeking everywhere fol the again miss
ing young woman. He more than init
mated that she was under a hypnotic
trance, imposed, of course, by the 9TH
er man." The young man seemed very
much in earnest-that was sure.
There was a scene enacted at the union
station Thursday night Halloween
talked very loudly with another man, as
a frightened, fran young woman sat
in g seat nearby. Bur evidently there
was a hitch somewhere. Hallowel said
next day that the man had left town,
but that the girl was yet in the city.
He still walked the streets. visiting every
departing train. His shoes were begin
ming to wear out, and he limped pain
fully at every step.
The Return Eome.
Saturday night Hallowell and the
young woman took an eastbound train.
There are many wild stories afloat about
a well dressed woman walking the
streets in sleep and calling, Save me-

aid from the police and from private
detective. But anything that was done.
he did himself, and so nobody really
knows anything about it all.
A very polite young man is William
Hallowell- He is we'll dressed, of re-
fined caste of features. He speaks
good English and wears diamonds.
Otherwise he is not unusual
After his arrival in i Paso he spoke
freely to almost anybody about his af-
fairs. The departure of the three &C
tors in the drama leaves the case as
much a puzzle as ever. He departed
Saturday night after finding the girl
again and taking her with him.
After the departure of 1.-The other

to the Hermes rooming house, on over
land street, and left her, but she PAID
her bill next morning and left before
Thursday morning. Saturday ne again
found her and left for New Orleans TO
take her back to her parents, he SAID.
The Restoration.
The story of the restoration OF the
girl to the lover is as strange as tue
rest of the story. It goes this way;
About o'clock Friday afternoon.
Mrs Hollis, residing at 17O1 wyoming
street. met a well dressed ana dttrde
tive young woman walking on bouIe-
ward. The young woman was talhlns
aloud and weenine. Mrs. Hollis spoke
to the girl and it was soon ascer 'aiheu
she was semiconscious or laborins I'M
der some strong influence.
Mrs Hollis took the girl to her nome.
The girl called constantly Tor SINE
to save her. Friday night MIS- hoiiis

when the hue and cry subsidized, he
would be able to enjoy his money al
most anywhere he wished.
The first necessity was an accom-
plice. The connivance of DR.. Walker
was suggested by his love for Louise.
The man was INSCRIPTIONS, and with
the girl as a bait. Paul Armstrong
soon had him fast. The plan was ap-
parently the acme Of simplicity: A
small town in the west, an attack Of
heart disease, a body from a medical
college dissecting room shipped in a
trunk to Dr. Walker by colleague in
San Francisco, and palmed of for the
supposed dead banker. What was
simpler?

some of It he deserved, but If Jack
Bailey, as Alex, had not traced Halsey
and insisted on the disinterring of
Paul Armstrong; casket, if he had
not suspected the truth from the
start, where would the detective have
been?
When Halsey learned the truth, he
insisted on going the next morning,
weak as he was, to Louise, and by

Gertrude's particular care, while her

old cashier, who had died, much
strange juggling had been done with
the records. The railroad in New

bankers private fortune, and he de-

This was nothing less than the loot

them into money, and making his es-
cape.
