Bread Line Besuest Declined.

The vestry of Trinity church, New
York, has decided to decline the be-
quest of Henry M. Geschiedt, who
died January u, leaving among other
bequests about $150,0O0 to Trinity to
establish and maintain a bread-line.
He stipulated that his name must be
stamped on every loaf of bread given
away. Rev. Dr. William T. Manning,
the rector, and the vestry explained
that they had declined the gift be-
cause they thought the money would
do more good if it reverted to the in
stitutions provided for by Geschiedt's
will, in case Trinity did not establish
the bread-line.

"Muny" Store Not Patronized.

Chicago's municipal store, where
the needy were to purchase at cost,
has done daily average business of
$9.11 since it opened, February 10,
according to a statement by the city
comptroller. Advocates of the enter
prise admit it has not filled any long
felt want. The store makes no deliv-
cries and a rigid investigation is made
of each prospective customer. These
are the reasons advanced by Joseph
Meyer, county agent, for the lack of
patronage.

PASSION PLAY DEFERRED.

At meeting of the village author

to hereafter give performances of the
Passion Play at intervals of five years.
The next production will be in 1920
and thereafter in fve-year periods.
Since 1910 the hamlet has almost been
deserted, the tourists having made
surfeit of the play which was once so
popular. The natives will devote them
selves to building up their woodcarv-
ing business.

TO WEAR FRUIT ON HATS.

1t seems rather odd to decorate the
hats with apples, but it is no doubt in
as. good taste as decorating them with
mink tails or blackbird wings. The
apples are of the red and yellow vari-
ETY. and are arranged on a band
around the hat, or a single apple may
perch on high stem above the hat.

CHAPTER III.
The Monogram Appears.

The stir that followed Harcourt's
amazing announcement was tremen-
Gus. He was intensely popular among
the men who had heard his statement,
and, while they laughed at his affec-
tions and foppish mannerisms, all of
them admired the sterling qualities
that behind the artificial surface of the
man.
Harcourt's popularity was not that
of wealth or position. He was regard
ed with genuine affection by everyone
who had opportunity to know him well,
and in spite of the strong evidence that
seemed to point to his guilt, not one Of
them for a moment suspected that he
could possibly have killed Townsend.
Excitedly they gathered about him,
each seeking for some explanation of
the strange declaration that had fallen
among them like thunderbo.t. 1t was,
of course, known that he had ben the
last man seen in the room with the
murdered man, and the fact that he
was not then himself was generally
known that he had been the last man

man, and the fact that he was not then
