OREN WILSON OUT
OF BAR ASSOCIATION
Justice of the Peace, Facing
Trial, Tenders His
Resignation.

Orren Wilson yesterday afternoon
rendered his resignation as a member
Of the Cape Girardeau Bar Associa-
lion to Russell Dearmont, Secretary
OF the Association.
This action on the part of Mr.. VIII
son is believed to be the result of
complaints that have been filed
against him in an effort to revoke his
membership.
March Is was the date set for final
hearing of the charge, and on that
late his resignation will be considered
and probably accepted, after which
the Association will have no further
interest in the matter.
The charges made against Mr..
Wilson caused a sensation when they
were printed in The Tribune two

weeks ago. While the Justice of the
Peace refused to answer them in the
newspapers, he informed his friends
that he would appear before the Bar
Association and refute them.
Wilson has been in public life for 10
years. He has served as Justice of the
Peace for several terms, and was
elected the last time only last fall.
His resignation from the Bar As
50ciation will prevent him from prac-
ticing his profession, but he will be
able to continue as justice of the
Peace.
Mr.. Wilson was educated at the
Normal School, and is native of this
county.

CHAPTER XVI.
WiIkerscn AGAIN on the Trail

WllkeESCn AGAIN on II16 ITdis
GV1T had not been difficult for
t%I Harry Wilkerson and Mrs.
- Darnell to trace Faversham
CssaSJ and his party from the time
they landed to their arrival in Bhala.
But the idol itself, the object of their
quest. still concealed its whereabouts
in spite of the most minute inquiries.
Wen simply have to watch DOrr,"
Wilkerson said at last I'VE know he
is on the trail, and We'll just follow
him. Sooner Or later We'll catch him."
Jean Darnell sulenly agreed. but
privately cOnfided to Drake that she
thought Wilkerson had lost his nerve.
The climate did not suit her, nor the
and her temper grew worse and worse.
Drake promised to do some investigat-
ing on his own hook. He was once
more completely under the woman'S
domination. and he dreamed Of finding
the precious papers himself and 50 put
ing Wilkerson out OF the running.
Strangely enough, the man, weakly
vicious as he was, was possessed by
an honest and whole sOuled love fol-
Jean.
She knew this, and at times her
tawny eyes rested on him with unmis,
taxable affection, but she knew per
fectly we'll that she would choose
WiIkcrsOn provided he made good by
gaining the master key and uncover
ing the wealth of the great mother
lode.
1t was Drake who brought the news
of the riot i'll the temple and the out
come of DORIS attempt to steal the
idol
He was disguised and thought he
could get away with it, he went on.
But the priests were too quick fol-

ed also to have gone hiElward.
Mrs. Darnel! most unwillnSIy con
scented to stay behind. but yielded
when Drake set before her the diff
culties and perils of the road they
must take.
Both men promised to be gone only
so long as would be needful to recover
the idol, and to both separately she
made it plain that she had gone as far
as she would in helping them.
The two men found couple of half
bloods to their liking and by judiciOuS
expenditure of money managed to get
together n small band to accompany
them into the hills.
1t was impressed upon them that the
trip was dangerous and that the hill
men frequently dropped what small
pretense they offered of peaceablencsS
and warred on friend and foe alike.
1t was through these also that they
learned more specifically the route
taken by the priests in charge of the
idol.
Equipped at last, they started forth
and for two days kept pretty closely
TO the river, which wound about
through the hills, mounting slowly to
its source in the mountains.
Several times they heard of Faver-
sham and DOrr, but WilkerSon refuS-
ed to turn aside or delay once on the
trail of the idol. And at last they
came within view of the little caval-
cade which was escorting the god to
a place of safety.

Wilkerson dared not trust them too

have hit the movie trail good and

hundreds of theaters here attract the
crowds and the house that shows pic

a large, good-natured crowd inside.
If you cannot quite see your way
clear to take an extended vacation

The action which put out the Kan

authority OF this importance. The
