pastors during the day.
1t is known that the majority of the
Hill churches favor the project, but
the Slough party, very naturally,
would prefer to undertake a campaign
backed by all the churches on the
Hill.
To-night's meeting is open to all
church workers and to all members
of Hill churches particularly and the
invitation Is extended to women as
we'll as men. The Rev Mr.. Cartwright
says he is particularly anxious that
those who have doubts as to the sue
cess of such campaign as Is planned
should come to the meeting with their
objections in question form so that he
may be able to answer from his great
experience of similar campaign else
where.

series Of revival meetings for the Cam

CHAPTER I-(Contlnued.)
THE MYSTERY OF THE SPOTTED


COLLAR.
There was little love lost between
Storm and Bienreith. They had
clashed a dozen times during the
past year; and once or twice they had
almost come to blows. On the last
day they came together in the court
room, just before the noon recess.
Bienreith threw discretion to the
winds and hurled low epithet at his
rival, who swiftly retaliated by strile-
ing the German across the face with
the brief he held in his hand.
A tremendous confusion ensued
and from her seat in the gallery
Zudora viewed the scene with alarm.
This man Bienreith was an athletic
bully. He had been in America but a
few years and he still held to the
German view regarding blow in the
face. He hastily scribbled a note
which he showed toward Storm. The
latter read it, shrugged and nodded af-
frmatively. All might have gone we'll
but for the fact that an enterprising
reporter found the discarded note and
made great scoop for his paper.
Bienreith had challenged Storm to a
duel and the latter had hotly agreed,
despite the fact that he knew nothing
of swords and was a very indifferent
pistol shot.
And Hassam Ali found way to dis
pose of John Storm.
And Zudora thought she had found
way to save him. She found him
In the cellar, bravely trying to hit
bullseye target 1t would have been
1aughable under any other circum-
stance. He was not to be swerved,
however. And when she threatened
him with the police, he laughed. He
knew, the police of old; they would re-
fuse to take the affair seriously.
Storm laid down his revolver and took
a drink of water. Then he picked
up the revolver and began pegging
away. Unobserved, she drugged the
drinking water There would be no
duel that night. Again she pleaded,
but Storm was firm. She pretended
to give up, and departed, weeping.
The next morning Bienreith was
found dead in his library, strangled;
and John Storm, in a dazed condition,
dishsveied, was arrested on the street,
charged with murder
Hassam Ali, in his capacity of
criminal Investigator accompanied
by Zudora, entered with the police
fhs scene of the crime.
"Well. my child" said he, "here is

your first case. Let us see il you can
handle it."
Zudora, having a double incentive,
ran over to the dead man. On the
floor she found scarf pin, some small
change, and she noticed that his collar
hung by the rear button She hur-
riedly wrapped these three articles in
her handkerchief. The peculiar green
spots on his collar had aroused her
curiosity.
She was very unhappy. The drug
she had given her lover had not put
him to sleep; it had merely sent him
wandering about the streets through
out the night, in a blank state of
mind. He would not be able to ,ac-
count for his time, and she might
plead in vain that she had given him
sleeping potion to keep him in his
house until all chance to fight Bien-
reith was gone.
Several days passed. Storm moped
in his cell. Truth to tell, he wasn't
sure that he hadn't killed his enemy.
From the moment Zudora left him un-
til he found himself in jail he could
remember nothing. When she told
him what she had done, he smiled and
forgave her.
"But you've got me into pretty
pickle, little girl, and you'll have to
get me out of il"

Often she flung the collar vehemently

moment she attached no significance

How had they come there? Before

serious problem. No sound ever
reached there. A green parrot swung

Today Zudora tried it on the green
parrot, but the whirling lights simply
tumbled the bird off his perch. She
picked him up and revived him and
soon forgot all about him in the re-
newed interest in the spotted collar.
Idly she initiated the marks with the
stub of pencil. = And then,
as if the whole world had suddenly
lighted up, Zudora at last understood
how Bienreith had come to his death.

DEVICE To MEAS.
URt UNDERGROUND FLOW

In a letter to the Fallon Eagle, re-
garding ground water levels in that
section, a correspondent suggests a
very simple and cheap appliance to
act as a water guage to keep the ir
rigator posted as to underground
conditions. Tie says:
"'There is no doubt that many or
all water users would be interested
to know inst what the ground water
is doing below their places as they
irrigate this summer; many never
know that it may be within three feet
or even two feet Of the surface of
their fields. The following simple ar
~rangements will tell them any day
and any time of the day just what
the ground water is doing.
"With a post hole anger dig "a sew
en- inch hole to ground water level;
case this preferably with tight, light
ventilating pipe. If something cheap
et is wanted, use old stove pipe or
boxing of Xxi ard Ike. With a can
or other arrangement spoon out 3 or
4 inches of SAND so as to give a free
water surface. Attach a rod to a float
ana marx v opposite the Top Oh ihe
casing as the rod floats free and then
mark the feet downward. An empty
corn can with a rod made of strips
sawed from a lath will make a light
float that will probably last a season.
81 have such at present floating by
my yard hydrant in the Verplank adj
dition. The action will be that if
the water rises the float will rise
the rod out of the casing and sue
~seccive readings of the rod will give
the exact changes that take place in
the water level. These might be
noted on a board by the well. If
float was near house well, changes
could be noted every day.
"The probable rise of two feet or
mere alongside fields at time of ir-
rigation would drive home the lesson
to us about five 70 six times a season
that it pays to irrigate with the very
least water possible. Air, not water,
is what is NEEDED under the ground.
Border checks would probably in
crease very rapidly in popularity.
"Irrigation is just starting; now
would be the time to install and
know what happens throuaht the
whole season.
