CHAPTER XIII.

That both Mcdonald and his daueh-
tar we're involved II this strange puz-
gle was already clear. The disappear
ance of the one was as mysterious as
that OF the other. Whether the orig
tnal conspiracy had centered about the
Major. and Miss Molly had merely
been drawn into the net through acct
dent, or whether both were destined
as victims from the first, could not be
determined by theory. Indeed the
Sergeant could evolve no theory, could
discover no purpose In the outrage.
Convinced that Dupont and his wife
we're the moving spirits, he yet pos
sessed 10 satisfactory reason for
charging them with the crime, for
which there was no apparent object.
Nothing remained to be done but
search the town. a blind search in the
hope Of uncovering some trail. That
crime had been COMMUNICATIONS
murder Or abduction-was evident;
the two had not dropped thus sudden
ly out of sight without cause. Nor did

whisked away without leaving some
race behind. The town was accus-
IOmed to murder and sudden death;
the echo of revolver shots would create
no panic. awaken no alarm. and vet
the place was small, and there was
little likelihood that any deed of vio-

Sunday afternoon of last week Mr..

of tee family, and friends to Bennings.
He was driving two young horses and
as they were going down Boone's hill
the horses started to run. The driver
turned them into the bank, over turn
ed the wagon and threw the crowd in
to the mud; giving them a great scare.
They got back to the nearest house
and phoned for DR.. Savage, of Ben
nings. who responded, and rendered pro-
fessional services. One gentleman had
a rib broken, the rest were not SER
iouslv injured but badly shaken up.
Fortunately they were in an open
wagon; had they been in covered con-
veyance, some Of them might have
been killed. When Mrs. Clifford Tar
mon found they were going over she
threw her baby out into the soft mud.
When picked up it was covered with
mud, and at first thought to be dead,
but it was asleep and did not wake.

Bonds Will Not be Issued

Judge Fillmore Beall, in the Circuit
Court, here Tuesday, denied the ap-
plication for writ of mandamus filed
by the school trustees at Brentwood.
which. sought to compel the School
Board to issue $40 in bonds for the
purpose of erecting schoolhouse in
Riverdale and an addition to the school
in Brentwood. Under an act of the
legislature, session of 1912, a bill au-
thOrized the issuance of these bonds,
but the school commissioners declined to
comply with the law, on the ground
that the school fund would not permit
the floating of the debt. The trustees
at Brentwood contended that the act
was mandatory.
Judge Beall Tuesday took the commits
sioners view of the act and dismissed
the writ.

Novelties In Footwear.

In many respects the changes in foot
wear are radical. Gold shoes we are
accustomed to, but the gold boots
which have been brought out have not
had much of a success. High shoes
are buttoned. Bronze is coming back
to us from the long ago. Boots with
colored leather are good, polished gray
kid having a great vogue. with pearl
buttons. Patent leather is used for
all Sorts of boots and shoes, and cut
steel and enamel buttons and fancy toe
tips appear on only a few of the
shoes. Gun metal calf is new for
walking boots. but satin takes first
place for evening shoes. Buckles have
superseded all rosettes and bows, and
single rhinestones are the few excep-
lions. Jeweled heels have appear
ed on evening shoes. and some Of the
stockings exhibit a rhinestone in the
center of each pattern or the instep.
Insets of lace figure on many Of the
more costly stockings, but III cannot
do wrong in wearing plain silk hose.
