AmuSementS
AT THE PRINCESS.

Give the public the best and big sest vaudeville show in the city and it doesn't make any difference how hard it rains or what the weather con ditions are, the crowd is sure to be on hand when the curtain goes up. That was the rule. anyway. at the Princess last night, where five acts Of as merltorious vaudeville as one would care to witness were given.
 Miss Alair and Miss Hickey sang themselves hoarse and played the piano accompaniment until they were tired last night There never has been the talented little artiste in the Princess who could sing ragtime songs as Miss Adair. and why she is ill vaudeville when she should be at the head of a big musical comedy show is mystery to those who appreci- ated her work last night
 The Six Momos again demonstrated that they have no equals in the line of whirlwind acrobatic features and their act is a great sensation to all who witness 1t. This is a feature that is so genuinely good throughout that one cannot in a limited space describe it's real worth, but take all the aero battle features you may have witness ed and put them in g. room and they will be just about ending where this troupe starts. No act ever did the feats that this one does, for the req son that no acrobats can do what the Six Momos do
 Arlington and Helston again pleas ed with their clever work, as did also Gordon Eldrid and company in their exceptionally clever sketch, and gen ial old Cal Stewart got a great popu- lar vote of appreciation in the ap plause given The entire bill is a wonderfully strong one and every one is singing the praise of the Princess show
 Next weeks feature will include the Five Musical Girls, another great singiSg feature, together with a roar ing farce. "Dooley and the Diamond 2 by Gerard and Gardner. Gerard is the same Gerard of old formerly of Gerard and Donnelly, of Natural Gas Fame" It is going to be great show

LYRIC rhEArER.

If man were to advertise that h would jump from the observation tower, with a bird-llke attachment fastened onto him, and would charge 90 cents admission to witness the feat, a thousand persons would clmt the mountain, and willingly pay thai amount to see him. A far more won derful and daring leap is exhibited at the popular Lyric theater at every performance, when Reichet, the French inventor, is shown jumping from the top of the Eiffel Tower, and his patent apparatus failing to work, he Is killed instantly.
 Another exciting scene witnessed in the same picture is that of ski leap ing contest on the mountain side ir Switzerland
 Scores of contestants are seen leap ing from an enormous height, landing in the snow, and skiing down the mountain side at an incredible speed
 The Torleys are amazing the crowds that throng every performance, by their marvellous exhibition of grace full daring. Nothing approaching this exhibition of the possibilities of cy. cling has ever before been seen here
 The crowning feat consists of the male member of the team riding with his machine upside down and sup porting his sister upon his shoulder and as he rapidly circles the stage he proceeds to take the bicycle apart until only the frame and one wheel remains.
 Bert Wiggins has varied reper toire of wit and humor, at each per formance he springs something new As a juggler, Bill is in the blue rib bon class
 The manner in which he manipu lates six balls, in each hand, and rapidly bouncing them to and from the floor. keeping four of them in the air all the time, is g revelation Of lightning fast motion.

sound Of Tom Fanshaw's voice.

peremptory gesture. his father D.

But even he exclaimed at the girls
next action. for she stopped, picked up
the blood stained dart which lay at
Philip Cayley's feet, and handed II to
him. Throw 1t away, please"-she
said, Overheard, and as far as you

Even before the other men cried
out at his doing the thing she had
asked him to, he hesitated and looked
at her in some surprise.

how CHRONIC COUGHS
Are Being Cured by Vinol


New Haven, Conn., was troubled
with q most persistent chronic cough
for long time and had tried so many
remedies and prescriptions without
benefit that was discouraged. ! was
persuaded by my friends to try vi
mol. After taking the second bottle,
my cough left me, and must say /
never felt better in my life. can al
SO recommend Vinol to any one in a
rundown condition as the best posi-
BILE remedy"
It is the combined action of the
medicinal elements of the Gods liv-
ers, aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron which makes Vinol so efficient in
curing chronic coughs, colds and
bronchitis-at the same time building
up the weakened, rundown system.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned IL It does not help you.

me, TOO. I can't ngufe II out. You
had something In mind, I'm sure"
Il haven't been telling Tom," she
said. "He doesn't seem In a very
reasonable mood this morning But I
did have something in mind. I was
proving that Mr.. cayley couldn't pos
sibly be the man who had committed
the murder"
II suspected 1t was that" he said.
Its the stick that proves II really"
she said. You remember how pus-
Eled you were because the end Of Il
which you held 1t by wouldn't ut your
hand7 discovered why that was
when you sent me in to get 1t q short
while ago. It's lefthanded stick. It
ats the palm Of your left hand per-
fectly. You'll find that that 10 90
whom you try 1t. And Mr.. Cayley 10
right-handed."
The old man nodded rather dubi-
ously. "Cayley may be ambidextrous,
for anything you know" he objected.
She had her rejoinder ready: But
this stick, Uncle Jerry. dear. was
made for a man who couldn't throw
with his right hand, and Mr.. Cayley
can. He did 1t perfectly easily, and
without suspecting at all why / want
ed him to. Don't you see? Isn't 1t
clear?"
"It's quite clear that the brains of
this expedition are in that pretty
head of yours he said. Eyes, I
think you're right" Then, after a
pause, he added, with an enigmatical
look at her: Don't be too hard on
Tom, my dear, because you see the
circumstances are hard enough on
him already"
She made a little gesture of i'm
patience They're not half as hard
on him as they are on Mr.. Cayley."
"Oh, l don't know" the old gentle
man answered. Take it by and
large, should say that Cayley was
playing In luck"

Demonstration Work in Missis.
sippi.

Washington. d. c.. January a.
Secretary Wilson has received the fol-
lowing report on Department Demon
stration Work in Mississippi:
The Farmers Cooperative Demon
stration Work is now being carried on
with fair degree of success in about
sixty counties in Mississii pi, which is
an increase of ten counties since last
year. In 1911 we he'd LAS demon
STATIONS in cotton and corn, varying in
size from one to one hundred acres. the
average being about seven acres. Be-
sides this we have cooperated with
about $500 farmers through the mails
and public meetings.
The main issue with US at present is
to demonstrate to the farmers the
methods necessary to grow cotton IN
der boil weevil conditions, more than
two thirds of the state now being in
tested. However, in order to preserve
confidence and prevent decentralization
and depreciation of value we are forced
to interest the people in diversified
crops in order that they may be sus-
tanned while trying to adjust them
selves to the new condition.
A number of counties are assisting
US financially in order to extend the
work and make it more thorough. We
have the hearty cooperation Of the
State Department of Agriculture and
Of the Mississippi A. & N. College.
Also we have the sympathy and CO.
operation of the business interests of
the state. We feel that we have made
satisfactory progress inasmuch as the
panic feature of the boil weevil prob
lem is rapidly disappearing and the
spirit of the people is much more de-
termined.
A remarkable Improvement has been
made with regard to live stock and the
use of improved farm implements. ac-
cording to statistics given by hardware
men, having increased 800 per cent IN
the last five years. Although great
deal more corn and other feed crops
are being raised and great deal of
land has been devoted to pasture for
.live stock, vet there has been only a
slight falling off in the total crop of
Ire tate. hieh shows clearly that oul
people are learning to produce their
cotton on smaller acreage by better
cultural methods.

CHAPTER v.
The Dart.

The Dart.
High, high up in the clear opalins
air was q broad. golden CLEAN. Near
er 1t came, and broader it grew, and
as II grew, and as it caught moro full.
ly the slanting beams Of the low-hang-
ling arctic sun, II shone with prismatic,
!iridescent color among the gold, like
an archangel's wings. The shining
thing lowered at last right above the
masthead, but high, high up in the
sky.
Then the four watchers uttered, in
one breath, a horror-frozen cry, for,
as a falcon does, it dropped, hurting.
But not to the destruction they fore
saw: once more it darted forward, cir
icled half round the yacht, so close to
her rail that they heard the whining
scream of the air as those mighty
wings cleft through it. And then, as
on the night before, his plans up
standing straight, Cayley leaped back
ward, clear of them, and alighted on
The foe beside the yacht.
Old Mr.. Fanshaw walked quickly
around the deckhouse and hailed the
new arrival. Wont you come aboard,
sir?" Jeanne heard him call. "Tll send
the dinghy for you"
Thank you," they heard him an
swer. There wasn't much room for
:alighting on the dock or l could have
spared you the trouble"
Jeanne stole a glance into Tom Fan
sshaw's stern, set face, wondering II
the tone and the infection of that
voice would impress him as it had her.
Don't you find it hard to believe that
ne could have done such a thing?"
she asked n man with voice like

added: And we know he did the other

: Her face paled little at that, stiff
fened, somehow, and she did not an
swer. They sat silent, listening to
the receding oars of the dinghy as 1t
made for the ice-floe. Suddenly the
girl saw an expression of perplexity
come into Tom Fanshaw's face.
when you talked with him, Jeanne,
last night, did you tell him our name!
Mine and fathers, l mean? Did you
give him any hint who we were, or
that we were people who might know

She had hoped that in some way

was disappointed at seeing that the
reverse was true.
She had to repress sudden impulse
of flight when they heard the return

away from human habitation. Cayley
seemed to be wondering whether It

"Do it, please she commanded; Il
ask it seriously"
Tom Fanshaw started out Of his
chair; then. as an intolerable twinge
from his ankle stopped him. he
dropped back again. His father moved
quickly forward, too. but checked him
self, the surprise in his face giving
way to curiosity. At general thing,
Jeanne Fielding knew what she was
about
Philip Cayley took the dart and
threw it far out into the water.
There was one more surprise in
store for the two Fanshaws. When
Cayley, without glance toward eth
er of them, walked out on the upper
landing of the accommodation ladder,
the girl accompanied him, and, side
by side with him. descended the little
stairway. at whose foot the dinghy
waited.
You are still determined on that
resolution OF yours. are you. to aban-
don US all for the second time-all
humankind. l mean? This later accu-
sation against you was 50 easily dis

"Disproved" he questioned. THAT
beautiful faith Of yours can't be called

Il meant Just what said-dis-
proved. They shall admit it when go
back on deck Won't you-won't you
give us a chance to disbelieve the old
story, too?"
Il can never explain that now" he
said; can never lay that phantom,
never in the world"
Il am sorry" she said holding out
her hand to him. Il wish you'd give
us a chance. Goodby."
This time he took the hand, bowed
over 1t and pressed 1T lightly to his
lips. Then, without any other fare
well than that, he dropped down into
dinghy and was rowed back to the
foe-back to his wings.
When she returned to the deck she
found that Mr.. Eanshaw had gone
around to the other side of it to see
the sky-man take to the air.
But Tom sat, rigid, where he was.
For the first time that she could re-
