CHAPTER III.
Netty CaStletcn,

At half past six she went to the tele-
phone and called for the morning
newspapers. At the same time she
asked that couple of district messen-
ger boys be sent to her room with the
least possible delay. The hushed,
scared voice of the telephone girl
downstairs convinced her that news
of the tragedy was abroad; she could
imagine the girl looking at the head
lines with awed eyes even as she re-
sponded to the call from room 416.
and her shudder as she realized that
it was the wife Of the dead man speak
ing.
One of the night clerks, pale and
agitated, came up with the papers
Without as much as glance at the
headlines, she tossed the papers on
the table. 81 have sent for two mes
senger boys. 1t is too early to ac-
complish much by telephone, / fear.
Will you be so kind as to telephone at
seven o'clock or a little after to my
apartment?-You will find the number
under Mr.. Wrandall's name. Please
inform the butler or his wife that they
may expect me by ten o'clock, and
that shall bring friend with me-a
young lady. Kindly have my motor
sent to Haffner's garage, and looked
after. When the reporters come, as
they win, please say to them that
will see them at my own home at
eleven o'clock"
The clerk, considerably relieved,
took his departure in some haste, and
she was left with the morning papers,
each of which she scanned rapidly.
The details, of course, were meager.
There was a double-leaded account of
her visit to the inn and her extraor-
binary return to the city. Her chief
interest, however, did not rest in
these particulars, but in the specula-
lions of the authorities as to the iden-
tity of the mysterious woman-and
her whereabouts. There was the like
lihood that she was not the only one
who had encountered the girl on the
highway or in the neighborhood of the
inn. So far as she could CLEAN from
the reports, however, no one had seen
the girl, nor was there the slightest
hint offered as to her identity. The
papers of the previous afternoon had
published lurid accounts of the muir
der, with all of the known details, the
name Of the victim at that time still
being q mystaxy. She remembered

ACT ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Old Adaee That "He Who Hesitates
Is Lost" Is a Whole Bundle
of Truth.

In a letter to a friend at great
moral crisis in his life Darwin ex-
pressed an observation which is con-
firmed by general experience. The
action which had suggested itself to
him when he first faced the crisis he
had condemned as dishonorable. On
further consideration, when he was
sorely tempted to proceed. he told his
friend of the struggle he was having.
but added, First impressions are gen.
orally right" and he proposed to stand
by his first impression that the course
in view would be dishonorable.
When a moral question involving
difficulties is put up to person his
first impression is on the merits OF
the question, without reference to the
difficulties of the course. Later the
difficulties begin to loom up, and eau
ton is apt to get the better of the
doubter.
Reflection on a matter of disagree
able duty often paralyzes action. The
adage, He who hesitates is lost" en-
bodies a store of wisdom.

The discovery that Scottish bank
notes have actually been forged with

prison recalls an amusing incident
Unlike the notes of the Bank OF
England (Which are destroyed as soon
as they find their way back to the
bank), notes on Scottish banks are put
in circulation again and again. The
result is that some of these notes get
very dirty, the one-pound notes get

to determine the proper method of
treatment. He said the showing in
the mine was very satisfactory. but
that the ore was combination of

the problem of handling 1t protitably
had to be solved. Late information
from the mine is to the effect that
about 80 tons of this ore has been
taken out for shipment to Butte,

has never been time when there has
been such a dearth of candidates for

backwardness among those who are
understood to be candidates to make

the reason that they see the hand

nomination for sheriff. It is presumed
that John p. Sheehy, auditor and re-
corder, Miss O'Rourke. the treasurer.
and Miss Zumhof superintendent of
public instruction, will all be candi-
dates to succeed themselves.

seems to know in what commissioner

brief notes regarding some of tho

The Spokane Mining company, on

countered about six inches of shipping
ore. The company has a group Of
