GIRLS" TO BREAK
 HOLY WEEK 100000

If you were not in the audience last night at the Columbia Nou missed one of the best comedies Phoenix has had served by either stock or travelling organization. When Clyde Fitch wrote Girls he en- richcd dramatic literature with one of the most wholesome and de- lightful stage stories of any age.
 Girls is just what the play sig nifies, however ambiguous it may seem. Three girls, all young and all pretty and housed in a dinky flat and two of them are under the domination of the pretticst of the trinity who thinks she is a man hater. With that idea and supplied with the thought material the tree combat man and incidentally supply the reason for the comedy.

TOnt0 Basin Promises
 To Become Another
Coalinga Oil Field

The Miami oil and Development company, having complied with all the requirements of the law, will immediately commence operations ;u the Tonto Basin Oil Fields.
 The company is composed princi- pally of the business men of phoe nix, and other cities of Arizona who have prcccived from the first that discovery of oil in the Roose- welt district means a much needed impetus to every line of business in the state; in fact millions of capital will at once be invested here and Arizona will pulsatc with prosperity
 The Tono Basin oil Fields have been compared very favorably to the Coalinga fields of California; and but short time will lapse now, in their opinion, when the history of California's great oil field will be repeated.
 On the goth of January. the Tonto Basin Oil company now operating; near Roosevelt. reported discov- cry of both oil and gas; this fact proves that the vicinity of their well there is d deposit of oil. The Miami Oil and Development company has acquired what is look ed upon as the cream of the oil bearing land at Roosevelt, and ow ing to the discovery of the company now operating there, this proposition carries with it much merit. Oil in the Tonto Basin means new cities, new railroads, new industries and prosperity, especially for Phoe- nix.
 The operations of the Miami oil and Development company will be
 watched with much interest by al.
 those interested in the welfare Jf the state.
 i The company is practically financ-
 ed and but a small portion of the
 capital stock will be offered to t,e public at 12l2c per share.
 A small investment in this com
 pany may make you independent. i All communications should be ad-
 dressed to the Miami Oil and De
 velopment Company, 13S North First Avenue, Phoenix, Arizon gb a.

 This meet will be the only one that will be held in Phoenix this season as the teams go to Tucson on the following Wednesday where they will compete at the University week meet for the championship of the state. And this will be a big opportunity to see the fastest teams in the state in action, as it is known positively that the Salt River valley turns out the best teams in the southwest. It may be the climate but the high schools from this little valley sure make things hum whenever they enter a thing.

AMUSEMENTS
DICK VISITS TRAINING
 CAMP AT THE COLISEUM

Phoenix, Ariz.. March 30. 1915. Dear Jim:
 I cased in and snagged me the big peep at a pretty speedy forty five minute bunch of goes last nigh. It was pulled off at that Coliseum camp. I'll wise you.
 Frank Vack took a terrible f3ll out of the dinge gag in the first session when he slammed over a parady on Mandalay that was funnier than newly wed trying to entertain his rlother-in in law.
 Then the main squeeze took a rise and spieled it that Eddie Young would be the next gink to slip into the squared circle and that he would start with chinatown" The guy smashed the bell and the battle was on Tough mutt this Chinatown, but if he ever had chance I'll put in wi.h you Eddie got his goat with a flash of work with the pipes that sent him to the canvas for the slow measured harder than q guy stalling at taking a skinny doll in swimming. Babe Lewis then stood for the once
 
 fans were for her from the jump and the way she went through was clas- 1 sier than chorus girls appetite after the show. She sent it to the mat twice before that suckers dome booked the sleep stuff but it got it. believe me.
 Ther the main event brought all 1 the mob to the slaughter. Rena Nivienne took on some high brow 1 "Springtime'' and showed more class tl;aI a wise guy at jasbo shindig. On !he square, pal, that dames pipes win in a walk. That go last night put her right for all time, and the 1 folks were raving louder than cheap perftrie on summer night. 1 Earl Hall mixed it with Moonlight Glide" pulling the big smoke and the dope slips it to him. Give that baby a lok in, and he'll grab off the wide spit-that's the surest thing you know.
 Was great fiesta, Bud. All the trainers and seconds were on the | lineup anywhere.

Lenora Macdougal, has disappeared!
She and I and Professor Ashleigh left

up in the boat train. 1t was stopped
at Hamblin road for the professor and
myself, and Miss Macdougal came on
to London. She vas staying at Cliff
ford's hotel in Payne street for the
night, and then going on to the aunt.
Well, I've found that aunt. She was

was still awaiting her"

The maidservant stood on one side
TO let him pass. Almost at the same
moment the door Of the front room
opened and a pleasant-looking elder
ly lady appeared.
/ am Mrs. Willet," she announced.
Il am Mr.. Quest" the criminologist
told her quickly. You may have
heard your niece, Lenora, speak of
me"
Then perhaps you can tell me what
has become of herr" Mrs. Willet OBJ
served.
Isn't she here?"
Mrs. Willet shook her head.
! had a telegram from her from
plymouth to say that she vas coming,
but I've seen nothing of her as yet"
You've changed your address, you
Know Quest reminded her, after a
moments reflection.
J wrote and told her" Mrs. Willet
began. After all, though" she went
on th~oughtfully, II am not sure wheth-
er she could have had the letter. But
II She went up to Hampstead, anyone
would tell her where l had moved to.
There's no secret about me-"
Lenora did go up to 157 Elsmere
road yesterday" Quest told her. They
gave her your address here, as they
have just given it to me-"
Then what's become of the child?"
Mrs. Willet demanded.
Quest, whose brain was working
quickly, scrubbed upon one of his
cards the address of the hotel where
he had taken rooms and passed it
over.
Why Lenora didn't come on to you
here I can't imagine" he said. How
ever, III go back to the hotel where
she was to spend the night after she
arrived. She may have gone back
there. That's my address, Mrs. Willet.
If YOU hear anything l wish you'd let
me know. Lenora's quite a particular
friend of mine and / an a little anx-
ious."
Quest had already opened the front
door for himself and passed out. He
sprang into the taxi, which he had
kept waiting.
"Clifford's hotel in Payne street"
he told the man.
He lit a cigar and smoked f~uriously
all the way, throwing It on to the pave
ment as he hurried into the quiet pri-
vate hotel which a fellow passenger
on the steamer had recommended as
being suitable for Lenora's one night
alone in town.
Can you tell me II Miss Lenora
Macdougal is staying here?" he asked
at the office.
The woman shook her head.
Miss Macdougal stayed here the
night before last" she said, and her
luggage is waiting for orders. She left
here yesterday afternoon to go to her
%aunt's, and promised to send for her
things later on during the day. There
they stand, all ready for her"
What time did she go?"
Directly after an early lunch. It
must have been about two o'clock"
Quest hurried away. So after all
there was some foundation for this
queer sense Of depression which had
been lowering about him for the last
few days!

driver.
He thrust another cigar between his
teeth, but forgot to light it. He was

I'VE must not eat or drink or Sleep"
Quest declared, flercely, until We have
brought this matter to an end. Craig
must be found. This is the supreme
horror of ALL"
The butler made an apologize ap-
pearance. He spoke in a hushed whis-
per.
You are wanted downstairs, gentle
men. Middleton, the head keeper, is
there"
AS though inspired with a common
idea, both Quest and the professor hur-
ried out Of the room and down the
broad stairs. Their inspiration was
a true one The gamekeeper well
coined them with a smile or triumph.
By his side, the picture of abject mis-
| cry, his clothes torn and muddy, was
Craig!
I've imagined this little job, sir"
Middleton announced, with a smile Of
slow triumph.
How did you get him." Quest de-
handed.
Little idea Of my own" the game
keeper continued. Il guessed pretty
we'll what he'd be up to. He'd tumbled
to 1t that the usual way off the moor
was pretty we'll guarded, and he'd
doubled back through the thin line

n Of my poachers' pits, sir, and cov-
cred 1t over with a lot of loose stuff.
That got him all right. When l went
to look this morning l saw where he'd
fallen through, and there he was, walk
ing round and round at the bottom like
q Gagged animal. Your servants have
telephoned for the police, Mr.. Ash
leigh"
Quest suddenly whispered to the pro-
fessor. Then he turned to the keeper.
Bring him upstairs. Middleton, for
a moment" he directed. Follow us,
please"
They passed into the bedchamber.
Quest signed to the keeper to bring
Craig to the side Of the four-poster.
Then he drew down the sheet.
is that your work." he asked,
sternly.
Craig, up till then, had spoken no
word. He had shambled to the bed
side, a broken, yet, in a sense, a stolid
figure. The sight of the dead man,
however, seemed to g%alvanize him into
sudden and awful vitality. He threw
up his arms. His eyes were horrible
as they glared at those small black
marks. His lips moved backwards and
forwards, helplessly at first. Then at
last he spoke.
"~Strangled!" he cried. "One more"
That is your work." the criminolo-
gist said, firmly.
Craig collapsed. He would have
fallen bodily to the ground if Middle
tons grip had not kept him up. Quest
bent over him. 1t was clear that he
had tainted. They led him from the
room.
Wed better lock him up until the
police arrive" Quest suggested. Il
suppose there is a safe place some
where?"
The professor awoke from his
stupor.
Let me show you," he begged. Il
know the way. We've a. s~ubterranean
hiding place which no criminal on this
earth could escape from"
They led him down to the back part
Of the house into a dry cellar which
had the appearance Of a prison cell.
This place has been used before
now, in the old days, for malefactors,"
the professor remarked. He'll be
safe there. Craig" he added, his
voice trembling, "Craig-I-I can't
speak to you. How could you!"
There was no answer. Craig's face
was buried in his hands. They left
him there and turned the key.

This was 157 and the house was

summons at once.

Quest raised his hat. It was a relief,
at any rate, to have news of Lenora.
II am very much obliged to you,

You're welcomed" was the terse re-
ply.
Quest gave a address to the
taxi driver and was scarcely able to
restrain his impotence during the long
drive. They pulled up at last before

rang the bell, which was answered by
