Some splendid reports have been
received by the Won Hamm- Young
Company in reference to the fine
showing made by the great number Of
Cadillac cars sold here during the last
six months.
Most of these cars have been driven
thousands of miles, and yet hardly
one of them has been seen near the
repair shop so far. All owners of Ca
dillacs are very enthusiastic at the
economy of up-keep of same and. the
absolute absence of any sort of trou.
BILE or repair.
Another shipment of Cadillacs has
just left the factory, including a fine
torpedo type body for Lieut. Nor.
rison. This carload ought to reach
Honolulu not later than the begin
ming Of March.

The Hupomobile coupe brought
down from the Coast by Mrs. Griggs
Holt has created a great deal of at
tention on the streets. It is one Of
the nattiest little cars to be seen. 1t
is easy to handle, and is just the type
of car for a lady to use during stormy
and rainy weather

Mr.. J. A. Magoon has added to his
garage this week a very pretty lit
tie Hupomobile runabout, which he
purchased from the Won Hamm Young
Company, and Mr.. Magon states tina;
for getting around quickly the little
Hup is just the car. 1t is easily
cranked, turns in a short space, and
is invaluable as a time saver for a
busy man.

that you tell me the mans NAME"
BritZ said.
His name?" she returned wonder
ingly.
1T is Curtis Griswold, isn't to" said
the Headquarters man incisively.
Mrs. Delaroche, with a little cry
which showed more emotion than any
one would expect from so self-centered
a woman, sprang to her feet and adj
vanced toward Britz with hands out
stretched in protest.
You don't mean to say that you be.
lieve Mr.. Griswold to be a thief" she
exclaimed.
I'VE shall see, madam" rejoined
Britt, "how successful he has been in
at least one robbery"
Inside this little casket," he said,
ARE jewels worth more than half a
million dollars. Please let me have the
key to this jewel box"
Reluctantly, she unfastened sleG-
der gold chain that hung about her
neck, from which depended a tiny sill
yer key. Britz fitted 1t into the lock
and turned the bolt. Triumphantly he
seized the lid, and as everyone else In
the room focused eager eyes upon the
silver box, Britt opened it; then drop
ped it on the table with a furious eH
clamation.
The box was empty!

erly. "Oh. dear, I am so glad he did
not escape with it. What would"
She checked herself hastily.
you must come to me in the morn
ing, Mr.-Mr.- for reward" she add
ed in tones SO sweetly suggestive of a
golden guerdon that the detective
eyes glistened.
Thank you, madam, that is not nee
! essary," he replied perfunctorily.
Lets see what else this fellow has
got"
He and the porter explored the cap
tives pockets further, but found moth
| ing more in the way of loot. Mrs.
Delaroche looked hastily through her
desk and dressing table and told the
man apparently nothing else was miss
ing.
Then" said the house detective, 81
guess there is nothing else for us to
do but to turn this burglar over to the
police. May we usef your telephone,
madam"
Mrs. Delaroche gladly nodded assent,
and the sleuth continued:
"Jim, call up Headquarters, and
have a couple of men sent here to take
this fellow away"
The effect of that command upon
the prisoner startled everyone. Not
only did it cause him to break his sui
len silence, but it drew from him
words that made the house detective
involuntarily loose his hold on the man
and step back, staring. Jim's jaw fell,
and Mrs. Delaroche gazed at the fell
low, wide-eyed.
Il can save you that trouble" said
the burglar. you need not telephone
for the Central Office men. I am Lieu
tenant Detective Britt of Headquar-
tiers! And these" and he nodded to-.
ward the silver casket, 'are the miss
ing Missioner diamonds that were
stolen from the richest woman in
America"
Turning to Mrs. Delaroche abruptly,
he said:

would drag a word from the captive.
though it might be said he broke 1t in
a way, for the furious looks he cast
at the pajama squad were almost audi
BILE. Those looks caused several OF
the squads doughty heroes suddenly
to realize the unconventionality OF
their attire, and to send them precip-
itOusly in search of dressing gowns.
One or two of them remained, how
ever, and the house detective, who, in
hotels as frostily patrician as the
Renaissance, did not often have an
opportunity to hold the center or the
stage, was fairly we'll content with
his audience.
Nov, then, you!" he said, brusque-
ly addressing the prisoner, speak up.
What were you doing here?"
"He got my jewels!" cried Mrs. Del
aroche.
The prisoner turned one of his sui
len looks upon her, but, conscious that
she was robed as daintily as the most
fastidiOus society actress in the Du
Barryest of bedroom scenes could be,
her equanimity was not so vulnerable
as that Of the deserters from the pa
jana squad.
':He took the whole case of jewels
from under my pillow" she continued,
addressing the house detective. ''They
must be in his possession still, unless
he dropped them while he was running
away"
1--WE will soon find out" said the
leading man. ''Jim, go through him!"
jim only shrugged those fullback
shoulders when the burglar attempted
to petrify him with a look, and his
search through the prisoners pockets
was thorough. Mrs. Delaroche gasped
her delight when from the captive's
coat the porter drew forth a heavy sill
yer casket, and held it toward her.
rs that your property, MADAME"
asked the house detective.

What is believed to be the first at
tempt by an agricultural college to
teach immigrants coming to this coun-
try. is said to give every promise of
success. Ninety-five Polish farmers
from the Connecticut Valley, southern
New Hampshire and northern Con-
necticut, gathered at the Massachu-
sets Agricultural college to be In
structed in agriculture and good citi-
zenship. The lectures were inter-
preted by X. ]. Wolski Of Holyoke.
George Chapman of the department
of botany told these men of the neces-
sity of getting good onion seed, this
being one CT the most important crops
of the valley. He also showed the
water and wind blaei method of Sc
lecting the poor from the good seeds.

CHAPTER XXI.
Hot on the Scent.
The box was empty!

BritZ bounded into the inner room
and made a quick examination OF
every window. He found marks on
one Of the easements that told his
practiced eye entry to the apartment
had been made through the window
by some one skilled in daring burg
larry. 1t gave on the fire escape. Britz
flung up the sash and looked out. AS
he expected, there was long string
of ladders and balconies that ended
one story above the street. The fire
escape was at the least frequented
end of the big hotel, and an awning
threw a shadow from an arc lamp on
the globe big enough to afford oppor-
tunity for an agile man to mount on
the shoulders of comrades, grasp the
second-story window and swing HIM
self up unseen He let his eyes fall
on the balcony one story below the
window. On it lay something yellow,
crumpled as if dropped inadvertently.
Britt ran down the ladder and re-
turned to the room with the object.
1t was an Oriental handkerchief such
as he had seen in the Swamis pos
session.
1t was perfectly plain to Britt that
the Hindoos had been beforehand
with him in recovering the Missioner
jewels. BY this time he knew enough
to be certain that their object in get
ting possession of the gems was even
stronger than the professional pride
that had actuated him to recover them
for their owner. He was aware they
had a reason yet to be explained why
they were in such a desperate hurry
to take the stones of the necklace, or
at least one of them-the Maharanee
to India Even now they might be
aboard vessel that would put to sea
in a few hours, leaving no trace of
their departure. Or, it might be they
were beyond the city limits on their
way to another port Of exit. He
must stop them at all hazards. He
leaped to the telephone, called Police
Headquarters, got Manning on the
wire, and asked the Chief to give per-
sonal attention to the request he was
about to make.
Notify all precincts" said Britt,
ito stop every man of Oriental APP
pearance attempting to leave the city
by boat or train. Have all the ferries
watched, and send a double detail to
the Grand Central Station. Telephone
the Associated Press for list of the
vessels about to sail today; have the
water front watched for tramp steam
ers, and don't forget the small craft,
both sail and steam"
Have you found the jewels?" asked
Manning, at the other end of the
wire
MOI" roared Britt, "but I will have
them in a few hours, if you'll make
the bunch hustle to help me. VIII
you attend to all this yourself. Chief?'
Britt found Doctor Fitch waiting
for him on the sidewalk, as he had ar
ranged before entering the apartment
of Mrs Delaroche in the guise OF
burglar, and in single word told the
physician how he had been baked in
the chief object OF his nocturnal visit.
"Quick's the word now. doc!" said
Britz.
Where are you going?" asked
Fitch.

Confederate Veterans Elect Officers
Mr.. B. N. Duke's Gift

Saturday morning, April LIST, at the
courthouse, Commander j. T. B. Hoover
called the Henry l.. Wyatt Camp to
order promptly at eleven o'clock.
After the usual opening exercises sew
eral letters were read, among them one
asking that this Camp vote for the Gen
eral Convention to meet in Atlanta in
1912. Then Messrs. NJ. NJ. Wilson, Co. B,
18th N. c. Regiment, and j. e. Grissom,
Co. B. LIST N. c. Regiment. were cordial
ly greeted as members of the Camp.
This being the last meeting of the
Camp year, Commander Hoover gave a
short synopsis of the past years events.
1.-TWO members have answered the last
roll call, j. T. Jones and J. p. Hayden.
The Camp. has attended services four
times at different churches. Thirty war
records of as many members are in the
hands of the Commander to be printed
in the Camp record book. The meetings
OF the Camp have been regular. 1t at
tended the laying of the monument cor
ner stone May 10th, 1910, and the un-
yelling on November 10th, the same
year, and also attended the reunion of
the North Carolina Veterans at Norfolk.
Last summer the Camp gave a grand
picnic and barbecue which was well at
tended by Veterans, Daughters OF the
Confederacy and friends
He then thanked the Camp for twice
electing him Commander and asked Mr.. r.
A. Bullock to take the chair, that the
new officers might be elected. By ris-
ing vote Mr. J. II. B. Hoover, Command
er; Mr.. [. c. Bobbitt, Treasurer; and Mr.
r A. Bullock, Quartermaster, were
elected to succeed themselves.
1t was hoped that Mr.. A. c. ZollcOffer
would have something definite to re-
port as to what had been done about
the pension bill at the last Legislature.
but Mr. Zollicoffer had not received the
necessary information. so this was nee
essarily deferred until the May meeting.
Resolutions to be printed in the Gold
Leaf were read, and following this the
splendid news was reported by the
treasurer of the uniform fund that Mr.. Il.
N. Duke, of Durham, had sent a check
for 800 to be used for this purpose.
This gift, and the letter containing it.
brought forth much applause. Mr..
Duke comes from line OF men who
loved and served the South. and this
| splendid generosity is a token OF his real
interest in the welfare of the Confederate
| Veterans. Members Of the Camp have
| contributed $104, and this. with Mr.
Dukes gift and what has been given and
promised in Henderson, will buy more
| than half of the uniforms necessary. Ii
is hoped that they may be had by
Memorial Day.
The Commander gave notice that the
Camp would attend services at the Meth
odist church the third Sunday in April
and asked all to meet at the courthouse
at 1890 on that day. He also asked al
to make an offering, saying that it
would be put to a good use before sun
down, and SO 80 was laid on the table

Board of Education, and who moved
to Henderson three weeks ago, tell
dered his resignation to the board
ut its regular meeting last Monday,
and Mr.. LOnnie Helms, of Monroe,
was elected to succeed him. Mr..
Way has been one of the most zeal
Gus members the board has ever had,
and has done great deal toward
advancing the cause OF education in
this county, notwithstanding the
fact that he served only two years

appointed. Mr.. Ways work on this
board has given general satisfaction
andit is deeply regretted that he could
not serve the remainder of the term.
His successor, Mr.. Helms, is one OF

needless to say that he will discharge
the duties of this office in Il very nc
ceptable manner.

When it became known on Monday
that Turner Jones had passed into

genuine sorrow, as testified by every
token OF love and esteem it seemed
possible for the town to show.
Until Sunday night he appeared to
be in perfect health. Taken then
with a severe headache, his condition
was not serious until 10 o'clock Mon
day, when meningitis set in and fin
ished it's deadly course at twelve

skill could do.
