TO IMPROVE THE SUITCASE.
Addition of Pockets Will Greatly In- crease the Capacity of the
 Receptacle.

The suitcase can be greatly im- proved, so far as convenience is con- cerned. by the addition of pockets These pockets may be made with or without flaps. If the flaps have snaps upon them the contents will not come out easily when the suitcase is tossed about
 This lining is best made of denim or linen, and can be made detachable, so that it may occasionally go to the laundry. Narrower strips of linen are placed upon that covering the bottom, the inside of the lid and about the sides of the lining, making a double lining, into which rows of machine stitching are placed, joining the two layers of lining together, to form as many pockets as you desire. Three pockets or more can be very we'll ac- commodated in the lid, an equal numi Der can be accommodated in the bot tom, uno several smaller pockets about the sides for jewelry, powder. etc, In this way everything can cas- fly be kept in it's place. The iargea articles, of course, such as frocks. blouses, skirts, etc, are packed iD the remaining open space of the suits case. If you wish to make an elabs crate lining, it can be made of heavy satin.

CHAPTER W.
In Which the Mystery Increases.

Neither of us spoke. Hornby start ed quickly as soon as his eyes fell upon me- and his face became blanched to the lips, while Muriel Leithcourt, quick to notice the sudden change in him, rose and introduced us in as calm a voice as she could command.
 q don't think you are acquainted" she said to me with smile. This is MT. Martin Woodroffe-Mr. Gordon Gregg"
 We bowed, exchanging greetings as strangers, while, carefully watching I saw how greatly the minds of both were relieved They shot meaning glances at each other, and then, as he chatted with the daughter of the house, he cast a quick, covert glance at me, and then darted a meaning look at her-a look of renewed confidence, as though he felt that he had successfully averted any suspicious l might have held.
 We talked of the prospects of the grouse and the salmon, and from his remarks he seemed to be as keen at sport as he had once made out him. self to be at yachting. While l was carefully watching the rapid working of his mind, Leithcourt himself en- tered and Joined us.
 Host and guest were evidently on the most intimate terms. Leithcourt addressed him as Martin" and while they were talking Muriel suggested that we should stroll down to the ten his courts again, an invitation which. much as I regretted leaving the two man.

Boer "Seer" Bepan Revolt,

The British official report on thh South African rebellion is now issued It traced the trouble back to one Van Rensburg, a notorious seer" who an- nounced that he saw a vision of seven bu,is fighting, and a gray bull victors. ous. The gray bull Van Rensburg rec. ognized at once as Germany.
 Van Rensburg is a farmer, who gained a reputation as prophet in the last war. He made his luckiest hit by prophesying that General Delarey would defeat Lord Methuen, and as the prophecy "came off," he has ever since been regarded as a man with miraculous powers. His adhesion to the revolt of Kemp and Beyers had a great influence over the more ignorant Boers.

than when moving from place to place in search of variety and distraction. We had entered the huge paneled hall of the castle, and had passed up the quaint old stone staircase to the long banqueting hall with it's paneled oak ceiling. It was pleasant lounging there in the cool old room after the hot sunshine outside, and as I gazed around the place I noted how much more luxurious and tasteful it now was to what it had been in the days when had visited it's owner several years before
 We are awfully glad to be up here" my pretty companion was saying. We had such busy season in London. !" And then she went on to describe the court ball, and two or three of the most notable functions about which had read in my English paper beside the Mediterranean.
 She attracted me on account of her bright vivacity, quick wit and keen sense of humor, her gossip interested me, and as the golden sunset flooded the handsome old room I sat listening to her, inwardly admiring her innate grace and handsome countenance
 I had no idea who or what her father was-whether a wealthy manufacturer, like so many who take expensive shoots and give big entertainments in order to edge their way into society by its back door, or whether he was a gentleman of means and of good fam fly. l rather guessed the latter, from his gentlemanly bearing and polished manner. His appearance, tall and erect, was that of retired officer, and his clean-cut face was one of marked distinction.
 l was telling my pretty companion something of my own life, how. be- cause loved Italy so well, lived in Tuscany in preference to living in Eng land, and how each year I came home for month or two to visit my rela- tions and to keep in touch with things.
 Suddenly she said: q was once in Leghorn for few hours We were yachting in the Mediterranean. I love

 No fear of that" was my answer. And at three o'clock Sir George, his wife, and myself set out for that fine old historic castle that stands high on the Bognie. When we drove into the grounds we found gay party in sum- mer toilettes assembled on the ancient bowling green, now transformed into a modern tennis lawn.
 Mrs Leithcourt and her husband a tall thin, gray-headed man, both came forward to greet us. They were a merry crowd. The Leithcourts were entertaining large house party, and their hospitality was on a scale quite in keeping with the fine old place they rented.
 Tea was served on the lawn by the footmen, and tired of the game, found myself with Muriel Leithcourt. a bright, dark-eyed girl with tightly. bound hair. and wearing a cotton blouse and flannel tennis skirt.

 And then we began to discuss pic. lures and sculptures and the sights of Italy generally. I discerned from her remarks that she had travelled wide. ly; indeed, she told me that both her father and mother were never happier

WILSON TO END
 MEXICAN STRIFE
.ooN RETURN TO WASHINGTON DEFINITE STEPS WILL BE
 TAKEN FOR PEACE.

Washington on-Definite steps toward
 he restoration of peace in Mexico will
 ,o taken immediately after President
 Wilson returns from New Hampshire.
 The specific action the president may
 have decided on has not been dis
 elosed but it was stated authoritative
 F that the executive departments of
 the government were preparing to car " out promptly the program deter l mined on Only an unexpected move fin Mexico itself to end the strife, it is said, would delay further affirmative action by the United States to restore constitutional government.
 Armed intervention is not regarded as contemplated. Many officials be- Heye no forceful measures will be re- oured Persistent reports have reacn- ed here that leaders are inclined to yield to the demands of this govern ment for peace conference.
 Reports are generally credited that message will be sent to the leaders, giving them a final chance to cease hostilities within limited time and assemble a conference. Possibilities of another failure to bring this about in view of Gen Carranza's last refusal 10 join in conference with his ad- yersaries is being considered by the president, it is declared. Whether in that event general embargo on arms eyportations will be imposed on Amer ican troops employed to assure trans portation of food to the starving peo- pie, cannot be predicted. It is known, however, that the army and navy are ready for any eventuality.
 Secretary Lansing said that repre- sent to Gen. CarranZa, Gen. Villa and Gen. zapata urging that outes to Mexico City be opened to fovlslon trains were forceful

One of the most interesting of twist ed names is the girls name, Veronica, which, by the way, is not so common as it's beauty entities it to be You probably know the legend of how St. Veronica wiped the brow of Christ on his way to Calvary, and how on the handkerchief miraculous print of the Savior's face remained. This was the "verum ikon" (the true image) celebrated in Christian legend, and the name Veronica bestowed upon the saint was simply an anagram of those two words

 Italy has shown a decided improve ment in her mercantile marine with in the last few years and the En2lish shipoWners are not surprised a hear ing that Italian shipping companies are endeavoring to acquire more bottoms while the prices of ships are low and freight rates high.
 In many ways Italy has become a rival of England on the sea Italian shipping laws are liberal and Italian lines can operate at less expense than English companies Wages are lower in Italy than in England and regula- tions less exaeting.
 For many years Italian compa nies have been buying old steamers in England and operating them in the Mediterranean trade with great sue cess.

Belgium Relief Commission Anxious to Avoid Possible International
 Incident

London, February 1.-G:35 D. m.) The commission for relief in Belgium has received no reply to it's offer to purchase the foodstuffs cargo Of the American steamship Wilhelmina, divert ing her from Hamburg and avoiding an international incident which is believed here to be inevitable if the vessel tries to reach Germany.
 Announcement from Washington that Count Von Bernstorff, German ambassa- dor to the United States, would guaran- tee that the cargo would be used only for civilians in Germany has not in- fuenced the British government.

 If not purchased by the relief com. mittee the Wilhelmina doubtless will be conducted to an English port where her cargo. officials say, will be taken over and paid for by the government

Anti-Liquor Advertising Bill Probably Will Be
 Vetoed By Go0ernor
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery, February 1.-tSprcial.) On the desk of the governor are the prohibition bills providing that only certain amount of liquor can be shipped to individuals in Alabama within n certain time limit and pro vidipg that newspapers, effective on the passage of the bill, may not pulp fish liquor advertisements.
 There is no question but that the two bills will become law. However. there seems to be good reason for the belief that Governor Henderson will either veto or amend them, preferably the former. It is learned that the gov ernor has an idea that in enacting pro- hibition legislation the prohibitionists have not been consistent. In the first place they introduce and put into ef- feet bill making the state as dry as bone. In the second place they prepare a bill permitting each ;ndi- yidual of the state to acquire oy ex- lress shipment certain quantities of lquor enough as a matter of fact, to keep every citizen of Alabama very drunk all the time.

FEDERAL REVENUES
 LOWER THAN USUAL
Excess of Disbursements During Jan uary Is $S, 16,427-Officials Hope-
 full for An Increase Soon

Washington, February 1.-Revenue collected by the government in January failed by $S,116.427 to meet the months disbursements. Receipts usually are low at this time of the year, but in January. 1914, the excess of disbursements was only $4,512.262
 Neither customs nor internal revenue brought in the expected returns. Gus toms receipts were $16,55S,193 compared with $23,52S,0S0 in January, 1914, and $14,S90,9s2 in December Internal rev enue received, including returns from the war tax, were s27,O96,155. less by S5,0OO,O00 than in December, and only about S2,500,000 more than in Janu- ary, 1914. The estimate of government revenues for the fiscal year ending June "o, next, contemplated internal revenue receipts of S32, 100000 per month. Or- fcials are hopeful of an increase in the next few months
 The hrst seven months of the fiscal year show an excess of disbursements over receipts of $70.S55,270, compared with corresponding excess for the same period last year of s17,S67, ,6O9.

 While Governor Henderson has not made plain his purpose, and while he may, after all sign the bills because or the apparent certainty that they will chance that he will act in such way that the prohibition majority of the legisla- ture will be entirely responsible for a situation which it seems certain will be developed in this state When the gov ernor signed the enabling bill to the prohibition bill. he took the position that if statutory prohibition is to prevail, it should, indeed. prevail. Prohibition can not well prevail despite statutes, it is pointed out if the so-called antishipping bill permits Alabama to secure all the liquor it desires. And if Alabamians are to be permitted to buy liquor in great abundance. it is the generally prevailing sentiment that they should be permitted to buy goods which are legitmately ad- vertised rather than those which are represented by circular to be the great est of them all.''
 The action of the governor Is awaited with genuine interest throughout the state
