Dr.. Starnes Took
Beating To Save
Playing Fingers

He did not fight back nor dare use
his fists on George e. LeMarche be-
cause he feared that he might injure
his hands and thereby destroy much
of his ability as an organist.
DR.. Percy H. starnes, city organ
list, whose encounter with LaMarche
in the Auditorium last Saturday night
provided lively gossip throughout the
city, gave this novel explanation Mon
day afternoon before a crowded court
rom where LaMarche was being heard
on the charge Of assault and battery.
LaMarche was placed under $500
bond to appear for trial in the State
court. DIR. Starnes and LaMarche
we're the only witnesses in the un-
usual case. Each made dignified
and courteous statement before Re
corder Broylss, LaMarche said that
It was not because DR.. Starnes had
reported him for alleged neglect Of
duty that he attacked the dis
tinguished musician. It was because,
he said Sta-nes had spoken roughly
over the telephone to Mrs. LaMarche.
Il accused DR.. Starnes of this last
Saturday when / was at the Audi
torium," said LaMarche. He called
me liar Then he went in to conduct
the rehearsal. / thought che matter
over for an hour. did not want to
do anything ungentlemanly, but after
thinking 1t over concluded that the
only thing for me to do was to thrash
him."
During the melee, DIR. Starnes kept
his precious hands well protected.
Each finger is worth thousands OF
dollars to him, he says.

Doctor Williams was talking SO
eagerly to his companion that he did
not nod to any of them.
AS the road began to climb toward
a bleak moorland he became less vol
uble, more desirous to get Anson to
speak. Philip thought that the doctor
listened to him with curious eager
ness. Probably Sir Philip and Lady
Morland impressed him as an odd
couple; he would be anxious to learn
what sort of relative this was who
had travelled from London to see them
Philip was in small humor for con-
versation. He looked forward to an
exceedingly unpleasant interview,
when his lips would utter consoling
words to which he must strive to i'm
part a genuine and heartfelt ring;
that would need an effort, to say the
least.
The road wound it's way through
pines and heather, but ever upward.
until the trees yielded to an unbroken
range of open mountain, and the
farms that nestled in hooks of the
hillside disappeared wholly.
Glimpses of the sea were caught
where precipitous valley tore cleft
in the land. On lofty brow in front
Philip saw q solitary and half dis
mantled building.

quired.

They passed q policeman patrolling
his country beat. The doctor gave
him an affable smile. The man sa-
luted promptly. but looked after them
with a puzzled air. He continued to
watch them at intervals until they
reached the Grange house.
Anson noticed that the track. 1t
was a gate guarded bride path now,
mounted steadily to the very thresh-
old.
sThe place stands on the edge of a
cliff" he said.

Philip obeyed in silence. He passed
through the curtains. 1t was so dark
that he imagined he must be in a
passage with a door at the other end.
Can I have a light?" he asked,
partly turning toward the room he
had just quilted.
In the neglected garden at the land
ward front of the Grange house the
horse stood patiently on three legs,
ruminating. no doubt, on the steep
ness of hills and the excellence OF
pastures.
Nearly an hour passed thus. in SOL

manfully up the hill and through the
