barely noted the first movement Of his
lips when Blake and Mark Robertson
appeared from the dining She
turned her attention to them.
Blake glanced unobtrusively toward
the row of telephone booths and his
half-shut eyes lighted ever so little as
he made out Standishs figure behind
the glass Bur hs made 10 other

springing of the trap he had SO pains

He stopped as Standish came out of
the booth and lar down a bill for
Wanda to change. Robertson, the
happy light of anticipation dying out
! of his face ct sight Of his foe, turned
his back ostentatiously upon him. Nor
did he speak again till Standish had

to find his father-inIaw in eager con

Preparing TO enforce the lazy hus-
bands law and to provide work for
county prisoners, Sheriff Cudihee and
the board Of commissioners are ar
ranging for the construction of a
stockade on Gj acres OF county land
north of Seattle.
a delegation of club women and
others urged the board to provide out
door work for the moral and physical
welfare of the prisoners The new
system will mean the employment of
four or five guards and a cook and
the construction of a stoekade and
fence. A stump puller and donkey
engine will be put into commission.
The lazy husbands law is expected
to increase the number of county
prisoners, as the prosecuting attorney
was hombarded with inquiries from
anxious wives as to when the law will

Despite his confidence Blake was
vaguely worried He knew men, as a
pianist knows his keyboard And now
q subtle intuition, quite at variance
with all MS Keen logic, warned him
that Standish was not in the least
frightened by the threat of political
death. Knowing the insurgents high
ambitions as he did, Blake could not
account for this absence of terror. So,
feeling his way, he shifted to the 9TH

preme Charge.

CHICAGO. September 20.-Robert C.
Zuppke. now foot ball coach, is the
man Of the hour in University Of ILL.,
nois athletics. Coach Zuppke supplants
the alumni coaching system which OBJ
tanned since 1903. when George w.
Woodruff of Yale and Pennsylvania
coached an unsuccessful team. The
graduate system was installed, finally
resulting in the selection of former
Capt Arthur Hall as head coach. The
alumni produced exceptional teams in
1904 and 1910. but reverses in 1911 and
1912 resulted in an agitation for an
"all-year-round coach"
An underlined sentence in the con-
tract gives Zuppke complete control
of foot ball. He is not to be inter-
fered with. He will say who his as
sistants shall be. The trainer will bow
to his commands. "Old grads" viii
