Actress Falsely Accused
of Murder-in Novel

"Herrick was awakened by a demonlac
crash Of chords. His eyes sprang open;
and there, on the blind opposite, was the
shadow of woman. She stood there
with her back to the window, 1.-THE and
tense; and suddenly she flung one arm
UP and out in such a strange and splen-
did gesture, of such free and desperate
passion, as he had never seen before.
For fun minute she stood so, and then
that gesture broke. as though she might
have covered her face. The music,
scurrying onward from its crash, had
never ceased; 1t had risen again, ring
ing triumphantly into the march from
Faust, mans voice rising furiously with
It, and 1t flashed over Herrick they might
be rehearsing some scene in a play Then
the sound of a pistol shot split the night.
Immediately behind the blind the lights
went out"
From this auspicious beginning, Vir-
ginia Tracy develops In Persons I'M
known" (The Century Company. New
York; tangled web of mystery, in which
the chief characters are a remarkable
young actress, District Attorney, n brill
liant wealthy criminal lawyer, baleful
but remarkably efficient secret organiza-
ton and Herrick a novelist in embryo
Every element of modern civilization Is
brought into play, including the near con-
viction Of the heroine through a moving
picture film. The criminal lawyer loves
the actress, as does Herrick, and delib-
erately seeks to involve her. Finally,
through the apparently quiNotic persist
ence of Herrick, the plot Is unraveled and
he is rewarded with the actress hand.
Miss Tracy has written really thrill
Ing detective tale, which. despite It's
length holds the interest to the very
end. The style is vigorous, racy. The
characters themselves are not remark
able for their semblance to reality. but
real folks don't do such things, as Hedda
Gabbler is supposed to have said. Any
way, the interest In this kind of a story
is more In what happens than in the
people the accidents befall.

ending q trip of about four
months stay most of which was
spent in countries of Europe. The

that they we're caught in the war

at the reception given them and
expressed their appreciation of
the kindness aud interest the
people felt for them in their

are at war. Mr.. Summers stated

Run Down By Auto

Saturday afternoon, while little
John Irwin was crossing the
street between the Southwestern
Hardware and the Enterprise
Grocery Store he was run down
by an auto. One leg was con-
siderably bruised. He was taken
to a doctor and was treated.
The injury proved to be slight
but the accident might have re-
suited more seriously. Saturday
afternoon the car drivers, mot all
but some) became quite carless in
driving, This of course, made
the drivers of other cars hurry
to keep cut of collisions. Next
year the number of cars should
be limited and those carrying
passengers should be regulated il
such a way as to reduce to a min
imun the chance of injuring an!
one.

Friends to Build Church

The Friends of Liberal have
decided upon the erection of 3
new church building This de
cision is to become a reality 1t
in the very near future providing
tbe nessary funds can be procured.
IL is hoped and believed that the
Friends may be able TO place in
some beautiful location a struc-
ture which will not only be BEN
lift and credit to themselves as a
church but also to the city of Lib
eral.
And now that decisive move
has been made by the membership
of friends let us all help the good
cause. 1t should and we believe
will have the hearty cooperation
and support of all the people of
our little city, especially all those
interested in the moral and COM
mercial welfare of Liberal.
A Friends Church will be of
commercial value TO US, from the
fact that Friends from the begin
ing have and still do build home.
