AS he spoke Buckhurst appeared at
the door, and then sauntered in, qui-
erly greeting the surgeon, who looked
q around at the sound of his footsteps
on the stone floor. There was no
longer vestige Of doubt in my mind
that Buckhurst was German agent,
a,or at least that the Germans believed
him to be in their pay. And doubtless
he was in their pay, but to whom he
was faithful nobody could know with
any certainty.

straight out of the room and down
the stairs without taking any notice
of Buckhurst. The latter looked after

Northern Lights Make Noise.

German scientists are greatly inter

phenomena revealed by the aurora boz
reals, according to recent Norwegian
and German observers. People living
In the northern part of Norway main
tanned that they often hear sounds ac-
companying the northern lights. These
sounds are described by some as SINH

phenomena, and one of them Olav
Aabakken, has spent long time at
the Hallde observatory in Finmarken.
Aabakken thinks that it is very un-
likely that any sound is to be heard
from the northern lights. He main
tains that the human senses are not to
be relied on, especially regarding the
phenomena Of sight. He says that the
idea of sound connected with the
northern lights may result from the
fact that these lights look like flames,
and as people are accustomed to asso-
ciate the cracking sound with flames
the rather uncritical observer Of the
blazing movements Of the aurora bore
alis is apt to think that he really hears
the sound of those flames.

 Some of the women wept copiousiy on leaving the jail as they believe they will not be able to see their friends and relatives where they are going. Some of them stated that they would be too far removed from their attor- news to consult them about their cases. Thtre was no resistance to the order, however and the women were quickly taken to the station to embark for their new and somewhat faraway quar- ters.

 The men claimed Ocala. Fla, and near by points as their homes, where King states that his father is prominently con- nected in a business way and that they were en route to Detroit on a pleasure trip upon the invitation of Moorehsad.
 While denying that the car had been stole, one admitted taking the tire and gasoline from pr. Abernathy's garage. They say they went broke in Montgom- cry Wednesday night. A full mileage book unsigned and part of another with the signature erased and an electric coll. hacksaw and grip full of clothing were found in their possession.

No Necessity For Bond
 Issue To Build Nezv Jail
Members of Board of Revenue Say They Can Handle Matter Much Better By County Warrants Definite Action Ex
 pected at the Approaching Conference With Oates

Members of the board of revenue state that there is no necessity for a bond is- sue to build an eight or lo-story build ing on the present site of the county jail, as they can handle the proposition much better by county warrants. While no definite steps have been taken, 1t Is prac- tically certain that at the approaching conference between Dr. w. H. Oates, state prison inspector. and the board of revenue that the board will decide on the erection of modern building on the site of the county jail with the jail on top.
 The sentiment for this kind of building
 is almost unanimous, and many who in sisted on moving the jail to some other section of the city express themselves as being satisfied with the skyscraper plan, as that will remove the present ob- jeotionable feature of the jail. In fact, the movement to remove the jail from it's present site has fallen flat, and every day the members of the board of revenue are being commended for their decision 10 | retain the property and to erect modern and suitable building on it.
 A number of citizens expressed them selves on this question, all favoring the
 retention of the present site and the 1 building of 10 or more story building l with a jail on top.
