for the Toys by the concert, which is
pretty good when you take into con-

at giving public recital. The band
should be encouraged and assisted in
every possible way by the people of

Dedication of Friends Church
CROWDED OUT LAST WEEK.


We as Friends wish to thank the
entire public for helping to make the
Dedication Of the First Friends
Church of Liberal a success, and es-
pecially appreciate the spirit of unity
shown by the churches of our city, al
so those who labored so faithfully to
help make our music an enjoyable
feature of the day. The day was an
ideal one; all services were carried out
as arranged for and every one spent a
happy Eastertide.
The Dedication sermon, delivered
by Rev. F. Olin Hunt, was appreci-
ated by all. Numbers of competent
people say it was the best of the kind
they had ever heard.
Governor Capper's address of the
afternoon was one of the best the
Liberal people ever had the oppor-
tunity to hear. The crowd was so
great that all doors and windows
were opened and the house was cir
cled by carriages and autos. AL
though it was the first time he ever
addressed an audience from the pull
pit, we feel he did himself great hon.
or. His subject, kansas, the Lead
er of High Ideals" was discussed in
an original and forceful manner,
which held the interest of the people
from the first to the last.
While all realized they we're In the
presence of our Chief Magistrate, yet
all felt drawn to him by his kindly
personality and his gentle Quaker
mannerism. The Friends feel great
ly honored to have had as their guest
Governor Capper, to realize he ac-
cepted their invitation to the Dedi-
catory services when his life is so
crowded by official duties.
The evening service was an unusual
one in that so much of vital interest
was crowded into so short space of
time; Governor Capper gave splen-
cid address to an eXpectant people.
His theme was: Temperance as Ap.
piled to the Business World" Gov
emor Capper was followed by Rev. +.
Olin Hunt, whose talk though short
was packed with concise thought of
practical living
Mr.. Wallace Kemp Of Wichita, who
handled the financial part of our
work, could not have done better.
He came Friday night and took an
inventory of the situation. He
entered each service with tact and
energy, and his calls were crowned
with success. After a careful count
it was found that the amount raised
was about $500 and when we con-
slider the call was for $500 we feel
that Indeed Mr.. Kemp did exceeding
well, and that by his earnest solicit
tude he won many friends In Liberal.
We hope to have Mr.. Kemp with us
again when work shall be eliminated.
The real object of our services was

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for October "a, 1915

Whatever she had been doing,-and
already they suspected, eyes still
gittered, her words We're still dsjointed,
and she had to begin again
Il knew that Maddalina wouldn't
know me. The only day | was ever at
the Fisher apartment-when she was at
the door--she hardly looked at me-

broke off in amazement.

Vikings, 4that-that you've been down
to that place in Chrystie Street,"
Il have-and nothing happened to me
whatever. And Maddalinas therein
some rooms on the fourth floor, at the back
and I'm sure you can get her any time!'
FOR minute Willings stood staring at
her in open-eyed admiration. Then,
as she turned and caught his glance, he
bounded to the Doctors side.
Come on, Doctor" he cried Lets
hurry"
The older man smiled and put out
restraining hand.
"Not so fast, my friend-not so FAST
he counseled. ats tomorrow night, not
tonight, that we're going to nab Madda-
lima. There's some very important prepa-
rations to be made first"
The two young people exchanged looks
of obvious disappointment, but yielded
to his better judgment. He had not failed
them, thus far; there seemed to be moth
ing to do but leave themselves in his
hands. So, promising dutifully that they
would not sit up to discuss the murder,

nor the mysterious knockings, nor any
other thing, but would go promptly to
sleep, they left him and sought their
rooms.
The Doctors preparations began very
early the next morning. They consisted,
apparently, in making several small and
wholly enigmatic purchases gas tube
and ring, little copper kettle that might
well have been replica of the one
in Maddalina' S bathroom and a big blue
bank envelop of familiar size and shape.
Small things" he said, with smile,
as he unwrapped them before the curious
eyes of Vikings and D. Hope. "Small
things, and we won't need them until
later. The big thing is first of all to
kidnap Maddalina. I've arranged with
the Riverside Hospital people for a
private car, and got an interpreter from
the Ospitale Garibaldi. Every is
ready-and the goose hangs high
But you won't let D. Hope go"
Vikings objected.
"Of course I'm going!' flashed the girl.
Haven't | been there once already?
And, besides, there isn't any danger, is
there, Doctor Laneham?"
mot the slightest" said the Doctor.
"Why, all we're going to do is what the
Italian quarter sees done every day in the
year-we're going to back our ambulance
up before tenement walk in, grab
certain young lady, and walk right out
again. Nothing could be simpler-and
even Maddalina won't cut up much
unless | miss my guess. She may know
were making mistake, and try to tell
us that she isn't sick and doesn't want to
go to the hospital. But, after all, why
should she worry? We aren't the police
and at worst it means only day or
two in nice clean bed at the hospital
No, l think ID. Hope can come. We
leave at eight o'clock sharp"

"Che puole? What do you WANT"
For answer Peppino merely drove his
official toe against the door and shook the
knob.
"Open, nom di Dio, open!"
Slowly, cautiously, the door swung back.
They were looking into middle room,
half bed half dirty living-room. The old
woman, with two thick-set, villainous-
looking men, were all backing furiously TO
the further wall. A moment later. though,
seeing the white ducks and uniforms, they
gave forth a general snarl of relief
"Nessuno" they cried. "Nessuno-no
one is seek here. You have meesteck!"
But the doctor had already pushed on
into the room beyond bedroom.
Like little animals, three very dirty chill
dren had jumped to the high bed in
big-eyed, frightened cump.
Laneham went straight over to them,
and, taking hold of them one by one, he
pulled down their chns between thumb
and finger and examined their throats
Gail WE'LL all well, the old woman kept
nervously parroting. "Bene, motto bene!"
ayes, yes" assented the Doctor, and,
going on, he reached the door that led to
the kitchen.
The girl must have had her eye at the
key-hole. In an instant, as the door
swung back, she must also have recog-
nized d. Hope. For, barely had d. Hope
recognized her, Maddalina when, splitting
her rage and fury, she seized a huge Italian
table-knife and was fairly throwing her
self at them.
"Look Quit" cried the Doctor. 4Stand
back"
They gave way quickly, clustering
about the door in a nervous group.
Which, obviously, was exactly what she
had reckoned on. For, with another leap,
she flung herself to the window, jerked it
open, and was dropping down the rear
court fire-escape.
Next moment, Peppino, the interpreter,
hot with battle, was following her. And
after him Doctor Laneham, too, leaped to
the fire-escape. But it was slippery with
ice and sleet and Vikings pulled him
back again.
ave can make it from below he cried,
through the lower hall. Come on, d.
Hope He caught her hand. Again
there was that quick responsive pressure
that seemed to transform this whole ugly
business into mere play-time. He
sought her eyes, but they were turned to
the door Together they leaped down the
stairway, following the Doctor through the
long, narrow hallway and into the yard
MADDALINA and her pursuer had
disappeared, but there was no need
of asking where. Almost at the foot of
the tire-escape, there opened narrow
cellar-way. Already other householders
were pouring into it as into hopper.
Instantly the Doctor plunged after them,
and d. Hope and Vikings were almost
on his heels.
Through long, narrow wood-house
they fought their way, lighted by an oc-
casional lantern. Endless bundles of
kindlings were piled ON either side, and
the air was heavy with the smell of kero-
sene, and coal, and the odors of human
kind. At last they broke through into
the broader area of the cellar beyond, and
there, surrounded by bins of potatoes and
crates of beets and cabbages, Maddalna
stood at bay.
1t was their first chance for q real look
at her-and she was handsome enough,

anything. Why couldn't two young
gentlemen in white ducks and uniform
caps go in, tell the proper story, and
carry the lady off as bad case of

"Gad!" said Vikings, 81 believe your
right"
They let ID. Hope go back to the settle
ment. There were lot of things she
must attend to, she said, and she promised
to be back with them for a late dinner.
Vikings went with her as far as Twenty
third Street, where the old bookstores
abound. There he left her, raising his
hat, and holding her hand for moment
longer than was really necessary.
Then he turned to the bookstores.
, "M-u-n-d," he muttered to himself.
1t was a curious thing to be looking for.
What possible connection could there be
between the murder of Mrs. Fisher and
foreign magazine with "M-u-n-d printed
on it's cover? He trusted the Doctor inn
plicitly, but this seemed a wild quest in
deed-to poke through all the old book
stores in the city just because the Doctor
had happened to pick up handful of
ashes in one of the CRATES of the murdered
wOman's apartment.
Through shelf after shelf he plodded,
and, finding nothing, turned his steps at
last back to 800. D. Hope had not yet
returned.
THE Doctor was with Jimmy, getting
everything he could from him about
Maddalina. The little Cockney seemed
to know very little. Il never wanted to
know nothink about her," he said with
vehemence. al could see she was bad

Fisher hadn't got her through any regular

her a chance con some private recon-

neither Madalina's friends, had
ever visited her,-nor her correspondents,
nor where she went on her days off
"All l can tell you," he said, "is that
she's a she-devil for temper, and is as
strong as any man"
Dinner was announced but D. Hope
had not yet come back. Willings stepped
to the telephone and called up the settle
ment.
She had left there an hour before,
with a message for DR.. Laneham that
he mustn't be anxious if she didn't get
back that night!
"Well!" said the Doctor,-and neither
of them knew what to think ,-"isn't that
bit out of character"

REPORTS OF BIG YIELDS.

Mandan, N. D., Aug. 30.-Every
day reports of great crops are
coming in, but as yet exact figures
are hard to get. Fred Bantleon of
the Flasher Office of the w. H.
Brown company, who was. in the
city today, reports that Henry
Brown threshed out a piece OF bar
ley at his farm near Flasher that
went 75 bushels to the acre.
Capt. /. p. Baker of Bismarck
who has a farm near the Missouri
river, threshed a piece of Marquis
wheat that went a little better than
80 bushels to the acre, and DR..
Scott G. Larrabee has received
word from his farm near Brad
dock, saying that the wheat
threshed 27 bushels to the acre.
T. H. Luce, proprietor OF the
Mandan hotel has reports of big
yields at his farm east of Edgeley,
and left today to supervise the
threshing of some 500 acres.
Last night about o'clock hail
fell and caused small loss at the

Denver Colo. Aug. S0.--A military
court Of inquiry appointed by Gov.
George A. Carlson to investigate
charges against Adjutant General John
Chase and other officers of the nation
al guard of Colorado, resumed the TAX
ing of testimony behind closed doors.
1t is said that an incomplete report
might be submitted to the governor
before the close of the day, although
there is little prospect that the court
will complete it's work by that time.
The appointment of court inquiry is the
elimination of public and secret
charges against the ad1utant general
and another officer of the militia,
growing largely out of the military
administration during the recent
strike Of the coal miners.
Published statements recently de-
clare that certain departments of the
federal government are investigating
the charges. A detective agency is
also said to be working on the case.
Saturday night few hours after it's
appointment by the governor, the court
of inquiry seized large number Of
letters from the file of the detective
agency's office.
