The STORY OF
AMAROFF THE POLE
(Contlnued.)


/ was just about to announce my
self. when one Of the men knocked
over a brass candlestick which stood
on the desk. so thatcit rolled to the
further side. With a grunt of annoy
ance. he stepped leisureiy round and
dropped on his knees to recover It..
Once out of sight of his companions,
however. he whipped out square Of
wax from his pocket and with extra
ordinary rapidity took an impression
from key that he had kept con-
cealed In his hand. 1t was all over In
nve seconds, and from the shelter the
desk gave to him. no one but myself
could have been the wiser. He rose,
replaced the candlestick, and con-
tinued his work.
Whether the fellow had played his
companion trick or not, had no
desire to be caught acting the spy.
30, pulling the curtains aside, walked
into the room. They all turned quick
ly upon me. the black bearded man
staring hard as If attempting to re-
call my face. But Peace was the first
to speak
Good afternoon. Mr.. Phillips" he
said. as If were visitor he had ex-
pected You are Just In time to drive

taken his eyes off me. ARE you quite

modest droop of the eyes.
"Ach-but where can there be GER
tainty in our lives? Come now. my
children, let us be going. Alexandra,
you have the door-key of the studio;
give him to the inspector here"
So 1t was the door-key, thought l,
of which Mr.. Alexandra obtained a
memento behind the roller-top desk!
Peace gave a polite goodbye to his
companions on the step. locked up the
little green door; and then started
down the street at my side.

my nose into your affairs" l said.

Sheriff Joseph Hink( s, who received a
broken leg and was otherwise badly
bruised about eight weeks ago, in an
auto accident, is able to be ont on crut-
ches and can walk pretty well. The day
after he was injured he said that he
would be out in time to attend the Dodge
County fair at Beaver Dam. He made
his declaration good last Wednesday by
going to the big show in his auto. On
this trip he did not take his position at
the wheel, having turned that job over
to Hub HilgendOrf. Joe thought he was
doing we'll enough to be able to ride in
the rear seat. He enjoyed the fair as
much as any man on the grounds, and
even more so. because IN addition to see
ing the exhibits and attractions he was

BEAVER Dam
Gets COLD FEET
The Beaver Dam Ledqu5 Team
CIeimed Muddy Road as Red-
son for Remaining Home.

The much advertised game between
Beaver Dam and this city which was to
have taken place at our neighboring city
of Juneau failed to materalize last Sun
day. THE roads are too muddy; we are
not coming" was the short message
which was sent to the Juneau officials
last Sunday morning, who had made
elaborate plans for the entertainment of
the visitors, and were very much disap-
pointed upon receiving the above mes
sage from Beaver Dam. Most of the Wa
tertown players were on their way TO
the battle field before word vas received
here from Juneau that the game was off.
Five members of the Goslings completed
a team by annexing four players at Ju-
neau and in the afternoon played the
Juneau team, winning by score of to
3. The remaining members of the Cos
ling team stayed at home when notified
that Beaver Dam had an attack Of "coId
feet "
The Watertown players speak very
highly of the excellent treatment ac-
corded them by the people of Juneau.
