LATE DEVELOP
MENTS IN BATTLING
H|LLMAN MYSTERY

Startling developments in the mys-
terry surrounding the whereabouts Of
the missing Deputy Sheriff Hillman
Of Island Falls are reported by the
Bangor News, which says that Mrs.
Gamma, aged nearly 20, Of Patten. de-
clares she knew that Dec. "a was the
day set for the return of the seized
liquor. or the threats made against
Hillmans life were to be put into ef-
feet. She says she watched the
Pomeroy house to see if liquor ar
rived, making three trips to the house
itself from her home, which is the
next house to the Pomeroy place.
She could not sleep, but watched
through the night Finally a team
arrived and stopped near her house
between II and - P. NJ. and she
took a broom and went to the door
and began sweeping the snow. While
there she heard one Of the men say:
"Cover the body over" The team
then went on and she followed and
saw it 60 into the Pomeroy stable
Mrs. Nellie Pomeroy denied know
ing anything about the Hillman mys-
terry. Didn't know Nadeau, never
saw him until the week before the
disappearance OF Hillman. She
scored the methods used by Madam
Mona to solve the case and declared
that she (Mrs. Pomeroy) has told
nothing but the truth about the con-
nection-or lack Of connection-ol
her house and family with the Hill
man mystery.
Trial Justice Sanborn said he knew
Hillman was much worried over the
threats AGAINST his life and had ex-
pressed his dread to drive alone on
the long country roads.
Madam Mona, the clairvoyant who
is still working on the case. is almost
daily receiving letters threatening her
with bodily harm unless she gives up
the search for the remains.
Nadeau continues to assert his in
nocence.

 q sneaked into the big office under the impression that everybody was watching me. But when I told the clerk at the window what I wanted he took the information with cool ness that was almost disgusting. When gave him my name-which seemed to me to reverberate like thunder--not solitary clerk raised his head. And nobody laughed when the inquisitor asked me how to spell it. When I gave the lady's name and fancied everybody would litter, the only sound I could hear was the turn ing of record leaves and the muddled clicking of a distant typewriter. "Wh*. they couldn't have treated me with .lore indifference if had been btAa4 marriage licenses twice day for 10 years!

PEPPER. ]"


 By Holworthy Hall. The Century com pany. publishers, New York
 Perhaps no modern writer has made rlore delightful impression upon the read ing public than Halworthy Hall (Harold E. Porter). in his charming story, Henry of Navarro. Ohio' and the fact that he now presents another story, Pepper gives added zest to literary circles where the author is so well and popularly known.
 It is a Harvard graduate story, and 1t is not filled with tears.
 On the other hand, it is far removed from either juvenile or a burlesque. The book is attractively written and the delineation of characters well done, and tn emajority of readers use to make their own discoveries.
 The author, MT. Porter, is very un- usual and unique personality.
 He is the general manager of A. D. Porter & Co.,, publishers of The House. wife" He is a graduate of Harvard, 1909, where he was president of The Lampoon'' and editor of 'The Advo- cate" He wrote his first novel at the age of eight, he says, and it was gory civil war piece in which the hero was promoted every time he killed Conred- crate. At the end he was commander in chief of all the forces
 In 1911 MT. Porter married Marian lief iron, daughter of John L. Heffron, dean of the Medical school of Syracuse uni versity. He has two children. He is a frequent contributor to the Saturday Evening Post, McClures and other pulp lications. All his writing is done at night and during communication on trains. He is strictly an amateur author he de- clares, although Pepper entirely contra diets his modest statement
 Pepper bids fair to be one of the sue cessful books of the season.

HARPER's EVERYDAY ELECTRICITY
 Publishers. New York.
 Boys are always interested in things electrical. They have an inherent desire to know how things are accomplished, to learn how everything Is made. Combined with this Is the desire to do things to build, to construct. to keep hands and mind busy at the same time. and so it Is the purpose of this book to describe and make plain all electrical apparatus in common use. Through these pages the youthful reader will also find detailed descriptions and plans for making a great many interesting and useful experimental devices.
 Incorporated herein is a simple expana- tion of the fundamentals of everyday electricity. The story of electricity Is told in few and simple words, from the power-house. where it is manufactured, to the wires which carry 1t underground and through the air to our homes and offices. factories and mills, mines and railroads. where it readily changed into light heat and mechanical power Each chapter contains various examples and experiments, amply illustrated with line drawings and half-tone cuts to demon- strate all important points. A large num- Der of electrical toys. interesting expert ments and practical devices. such as any boy can build. are also fully described and Illustrated in detail

AFRICAN ADVENTURE"

by Theodore Roosevelt. Charles Scrib
 ner & Sons. publishers. New York
 Mir J. Alden Loring. says in regard to his book. African Adventure Stories"
 Because of it's dangerous animals. and in some localities its dangerous natives Africa is probably the most lucrative country from. which to gather material for book of this character.
 From the lime that we boarded the s. & Admiral, bound for Mombasa we met English officers and settlers returning to their respective posts or homes, who re- hearsed exciting experiences that at once convinced us that 1t would be impossible to live long in Africa without having at least one thrilling adventure.
 'The majority of these stories are lit orally true. They are the experiences Of the various members of our party and of those of gentlemen we met, whose W ord cannot be doubted. The same can be said of the articles relating to the habits of the animals. The last seven chapters should not be accepted as actual fact They are so far based on fact, however that the yare not improbable"
 MT. Roosevelt in 'Foreward' has the following comment to make:
 "The author of this little volume 'Afri- can Adventure Stories.' Mir. J. Alden Lor- ing is one of the three field naturalists who accompanied me during the Il months that I spent in Africa at the head of a scientific expedition sent out by the Smithsonian institution. In the following pages MT. Loring has chronicled nany of the experiences that befell the expedition and it's members. While some of the chapters are devoted to the ex- periences of trustworthy travellers and big-game hunters whom we met What he describes as fact may unhesitatingy be accepted as such, and in the preface he clearly differentiates between the ex- periences In which he records fact, and those in which he tells stories merely founded on fact"

ested in any way in the prevention of crime. And this Is problem which should be of vital interest to every citizen in every community. The Way ward Child' is written from the stand point of one whose public work has been laid on the foundation of many years experience in the rearing of q large family.
 The Wayward Child" holds a mes sage for teachers also, because way ward children are also school childi en; and Mrs. Schoff by the citation of ac- tua1 cases shows that the teachers in fluence and treatment have a direct bearing on saving wayward children. The author goes further than this and contrasts methods of treatment that have proved of real worth with others whose results have been either neg ative or positively injurious.
