The closing of the school season

usual mum Der of festivities on the part
of the teachers. Besides two affairs

were Mrs. A. G. Davis and Mesdames
j. f. Banks and w. w. Robertson.
there will be a program and reception
at the high school Friday at which
the grade school teachers will he the
guests of the high school faculty.
Greatest interest, however. is attached
to the informal showers and 'sur-
prise parties given by their fellow
teachers to those of their number who
are to be married. The list of sum-
mer brides. so far as officially known
includes Miss Human and Miss Haw-

Whereas, the Yakima Republic in

into O'Shea's angry little red
eyes, chuckled, and walked

"O'Shea forgot all about

about two months later, he
picked up a paper and stared
fascinated at a three-column
scarehead. Courtenay's lit
tie four-year-old son Bruce
had been kidnapped, and
there was the mischief to pay
about it.
"Of course you're too
young to remember the
affair; but it was the talk of
the country. The story ran
on the front pages of the
newspapers for three weeks,
and inside for at least two
months more. Every sheriff
and policeman in the coun-
try was trying to get the
reward. Old man Courtenay
nearly beggared himself pay
ing for detectives and the
thousand expenses of the
search.

the child. So, having inside
information and a few hun

rainy day, O'Shea decided to
have a try for the reward.
So far, so good; but what
had become of Lemon?
O'Shea started to find out.
First he located Mrs. Pye
in a lodging house on Ire
mont-st., Boston, and took
a room there. Then he be-
gan to watch her mail. Three
days after he moved in, he
noticed a letter addressed
to her, on the hall stand.
He sneaked it up into his
