CHAPTER II.
"OPEN!"

II HAVE mentioned poison as my
first thought. 1t was a natural
one. the result undoubtedly OF
having noticed two small cordial
glasses standing on little table over
against the fireplace. When was
conscious again of my own fears |
crossed to the table and peered into
these glasses. They were not club
glasses. and they both were empty.
However, they had not been so long.
In each found traces of anisette
cordial, and. though no bottle stood
near, I was very confident that 1t
could readily be found somewhere IN
the room. What had preceded ana
followed the drinking of this cordial!
Alas, there was but little more to
gee! A pair of curling irons lay on
the hearth, but I had no sooner lifted
them than dropped them with
shudder Of unspeakable loathing, only
to start at the noise they made IN
striking the tiles, for it was the
selfsame noise I had heard when
listening from below. These tongs.

forcible shutting Of the large front
door, and no man other than myself
was in the house or had been in the
house-only the two women. A stick
or two still smoldered on the hearth

tered fragments Of paper which
crumbled at my touch. On the floor
in front espied only stray hairpin.
Everything else was in place through
out the room except the cushions and

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The combined oratorical and decla-
nation contests will be held here Fri
day. As stated before there will be
many fine speakers and the contest
will be an interesting one to attend.
There will be four contestants in
the oratorical and five in the declama-
tion.
The cities will be represented as
follows:
Oratorical:
Grand Rapids-Donald Johnson,
''The Supposed Speech of ohm Adams"
Marshfeld-G George Wahl, ''Emmet's
Vindication.'
TomahaWk-
Wausau-Cony Piper, "Grafton's
Vinyective Against Carey"
Defamation:
Grand Rapids Steele.
Marshfield- Helen Ebert, ''As the
Moon Rose"
Merrill--'aThe Lie.''
Rib Falls
Wausau-Jeanette Reid, ''The Char
lot Race from Ben Hur."
Stanley Rureck, '05, who IS also
graduate of the University of South,
ern California, and who will be long
remembered in our high school for
his athletic triumphs, spoke to the
high school Thursday on "Mining En-
gineering"
Fred Mayo was visitor at the
high school Friday afternoon.
A filing case for the bills and records
of the school has been ordered.
The shrubbery received last week
has been set out upon the grounds of
the high, Franklin, Lincoln, Wash
ington and the new buildings.
The examinations at the high school
begin two weeks from Thursday.
Next Saturday afternoon the North
eastern Wisconsin interscholastic
meet will be held in Appleton. The
team which Wausau is entering is
good one, and although being, with
two exceptions, new team it per-
hapS will not take the frSU places.
We expect it, however, to uphold the
track reputation of the Wausau high
school.

a REAL BARGAIN
SELLING AT SIGHT

So thoroughly are people convinced
when they see this property, that a
real bargain is being offered them,
that seeing is all that is necessary to
induce them to buy. Nearly one-half
of the lots in the entire addition were
sold during the past ten days.
Here is an opportunity to buy good
property cheap. Don't miss this
this chance.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-05-16
EASY TERMS OF PAYMENTS

Remember that you do not need to
pay cash for these lots. Five dollars
down ION building LOTS to bind the
bargain is all that is required and
easy payments thereafter. Acre lots
on similar easy terms.
THESE LOTS ARE OFFERED
AND SOLD BY THE OWNER.
You have therefore no commission
and no extras to pay to middle man.
Call at the Office and talk it over
with the owner.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-05-16
ACRE LOTS

Immediately west of this proposed
addition, and facing Eleventh Ave-,
So, are being offered some fine acre
lots; at prices ranging from $4,000
upwards. These acre lots cover in
area more than five and one-fourth
ordinary building lots. The ground
is level and on account of the rich
virgin soil it is especially well adapted
for gardening.
Think of it! Acre lots within the
city limits, on good street and with
in easy walking distance from the
heart OF the city and to principal
places of work; can you afford to
miss this chance?

A GOOD WAY TO
MAKE MONEY
And Make the Money
Saved Earn More
Money for You
While You
Sleep.

Take your present savings and make
a small payment down on one or more
building lots in J. II. KOEHLER'S
proposed addition in Southwest Wau-
Sau. After you have done this you
will feel that you have reason for
saving your nickels and dimes instead
of spending them carelessly as many
of us ofttimes do, and as you save
them make further weekly, monthly
or yearly payments on the property
you have bought. Try this method
and note the happy result. You will
be most agreeably surprised when
after comparatively short length of
time you find yourself the sole owner
of piece of real estate.
Young men, only ten cents day
saved and paid off regularly, will pay
up in full for enc of these lots in from
three and one-half to five years time,
and all the time while you are saving
and paying up for it the value of it
increases that the money saved
and invested is earning more for you.
1t never stops. 1t makes money for
you while you sleep.
Don't wait. Begin now. Buy
while you can buy cheap. You have
perhaps, missed other good chances by
waiting Don't miss this one. These
lots are being offered at such low prices
that the fact is they are worth con-
siderably more today than what they
can be bought for at the present time,
and the prices are apt to be raised at
any time. All surrounding property
is selling for higher prices.
Present prices of lots unSold run
from 500 to 5000; when you see
these lots you will conclude at once
that there are no other such bar
gains offered anywhere in the city.
Go and look this property over if
you have not already done so, and
note the fine location and observe the
opportunity for rapid rise in values of
this property. You viii be pleased
with it. The lots are all nice and
level; within easy walking distance
from the heart of the city and to
principal places of work,
These lots are located on Eighth,
Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh avenues,
South, and between RoSecranS and
Thomas streets, Immediately south
of the Badger Ginseng Co.'S garden.
The lots are now all staked out,
every lot is marked with a tag on the
corner stake, stating the price, size of
the lot, and whether sold, so that you
can easily make your selection when
on the ground.
