when he saw the girl, just after pur-
chasing a VALUABLE bracelet as a gift
for a Miss Carstairs. The passenger

days. Brill meets Marsh IN deck.
Hearing q noise In a supposedly unoc-
cupied stateroom, they investigate with
the captain. but find nothing. The al
tered course Of the vessel frightens the
passengers, who protest. Brill and
Marsh look TO Jay to assist in a secret
search of the mysterious stateroom.
A wireless reports that Russia has de
clared war against Great Britain.
Marsh suspects Benedict of having
manufactured the message. Professor
Pe%nnythorne armed with a marine
glass watches a strange craft approach
astern. At the Christmas feast Brill
becomes Jealous of Benedict's atten-
tons to Miss Jennison. Marsh, still
suspicious. continues his Investigations

pect that the dispatches were tempered

Miner County Man Escapes Peniten-
tiary BY Going Dry.

Howard, April 2.-Walter West.
a resident of Miner county, has gone
dry" by court order. He has been
forbidden to take a drink. At a
term of circuit court he was con
victed of an infraction of the law,
which was said to be due to his ex-
cessive drinking. He was sentenced
to a term of eleven months in the
Sioux Falls ~penitentiary. but the SEN
tence was suspended conditionally.
In addition to the penitentiary term
he was given a term of thirty days in
the county Jail, and this he now is
serving.
Under the conditions by which the
penitentiary portion of the sentence
was suspended he will be required
when he completes his Jail term to
remain in Miner county during the
eleven months covered by his sus-
pended sentence and cannot step
over the boundary line of the coun-
ty without permission of the court.
In addition, if he during the eleven
months, takes a single drink of in
~toxicating liquor, his parole will be
violated and he will be taken to the
~penitentiary at once to serve his
sentence.
