Military weddings arc not lacking,
though, to give color and pictur-

lovely, though very quiet ceremony
took place last Tuesday at the resi-

to Capt Joseph Haynesworth Earle,

Rev. Charles Wood. OF the Church

roses, palms and ferns formed a
bower for the ceremony. The bride
was never so lovely as in her we'd
ding gown OF white satin and tulle
veiled with old duchcsse lace and a
pearl necklace which was an cxquis-
ite touch to her beautiful brunette
coloring. Mrs. George Applcby, in

and will spend several weeks at
Grecnville, s. c., the home OF Capt.
Earle, before returning to town to
take possession OF their quarters at
the Washington Barracks, carly in
December.
Curiously interest in the debutante
season is apathctic. perhaps because
the White House and the brides arc
much in society'S thoughts at the
present time At least, no definite
dates for presentations have been
announced and the ranks OF the buds
are shifting long after the time
when debut plans should be clearly
crystaliized. From present indica-
tions, there will be few II any pre-
scntations before Thanksgiving, leav-
ing the brief weeks until Christmas
to be filled with debutante teas and
dances. January invariably has its
quota OF pretty buds. though it
seems rather regrettable that they
should miss so much of their first
season.
Various circumstances have can
celcd a number of names from the
list of the buds, which is said to be
shorter this season than ever before
in the history of the Capital. All
hope for a White House debutante
has vanished since it has been an

 My God!" he muttered.
 The professor pushed past. He had looked around the room, and gazed at the two bodies with an expression of blank and absolute terror. Then he fell back into Craigs arms.
 The poor girl" he cried "Horrl- Die! Horrible Horrible!"
 Know anything about this?" Quest asked quickly.
 Not thing" the inspector replied. We arrived, Mrs. Rheinholdt and I, at live minutes past twelve There was no answer to our ring. I used my pass key and entered. This is what 1 found"
 Quest stood over the body of his valet for moment The man was ob- v1ously dead. The inspector took his handkerchief and covered up the head. A few feet away was a heavy paper weight
 Killed by blow from behind" French remarked grimly, with that little affair. Look here!"
 They glanced down at the girl. Quests eyebrows came together quick ly. There were two blue marks upon her throat where a mans thumbs might have been.
 The hands again" he muttered.
 The inspector nodded Gan you make anything of it?"
 Not yet" Quest confessed. q must think"
 The inspector glanced at him curi- ously.
 Where on earth have you been to?" he demanded.
 Been to-" Quest repeated
 Look in the mirror!" French sug- gested. Quest glanced at himself. His col lar had given way, his tie was torn, a | button and some of the cloth had been wrenched from his coat, his trousers were torn and he was covered with dust.
 "I'll tell you about my trouble lit tie later on," he replied. Say. can't We keep those girls out?"
 They were too late. Laura and Len ora were already upon the threshold. Quest swung round toward them
 Girls" he said, there has been some trouble here. Go and wait up stairs, Lenora, or sit in the hall

with your cursed prying into other peoples affairs. Don't you remember me, eh? Red Gallagher"
 "Of course I do," Quest replied coolly. You garroted and robbed an old man and had the spree of your life. The old man happened to be friend of mine, so I took the trouble to see that you paid for It. Well?"
 Five years of hell, that's what had" the man continued, his eyes flashing, his face twitching with an ger. Well, you're going to have a little bit more than five years. This sheds been burnt down twice, sparks from passing engines. It's going to be burnt down for the third time"
 Sounds remarkably unpleasant" Quest admitted. You'd better hurry or the boss will be back"
 Gallagher finally slammed the door. Quest heard the heavy footsteps of the two men as they turned toward the section house. He drew a little case from his pocket.
 He opened what seemed to be a little mahogany box. looked at the ball
The Green Forest tribune., 1915-04-30

Laura, you had better telephone to the police station and for a doctor. That's right, isn't it, inspector?"
 "Yes!" the latter assented thought fully.
 Lenora, white to the lips, staggered a few feet back into the hall. Laura set her teeth and fingered.
 ''Is that Ross?" she asked.
 It's his body" Quest replied. Hes been murdered here, he and the Salva tion Army girl who was to come this morning for her check"
 Laura turned away half dazed.
 I'd have trusted Ross with my life," Quest continued, but he must have been alone in the house when the girl came. Do you suppose 1t was the usual sort of trouble?"
 Inspector French stopped down and picked up the paper-weight. Across it was stamped the name of Sanford Quest.
 This yours, Quest?"
 Of course it is," Quest answered. Everything in the room is mine"
 'The girl would fight to defend her self" the inspector remarked slowly, but she could never strike a man such a blow as your valet died from"
 French stopped and picked up small clock. It had stopped at eleven fifteen. He looked at it thoughtfully.
 Quest" he went on. "Pll have to ask you a question"
 "Why not?" Quest replied looking quickly up.
 Where were you at eleven-fifteen?"
 "On tower No. 10 of the New York Central. scrapping for my life," Quest answered grimly. I've reason to re- member it."
 Something in the inspectors steady gaze seemed to inspire the criminolo- gist with a new idea. He came a step forward, little frown upon his fore head.
 Say, French" he exclaimed, you don't-you don't suspect me of this?" French was unmoved. He looked Quest in the eyes.
 'I don't know" he said. cTO BE CONTINUED)

 Drive to the office," he ordered
 The man slipped in his clutch. They were in the act of gliding off when there was a tremendous report They stopped short. The man jumped down and looked at the back tire.
 Blowout" he remarked laconically.
 Quest drowned.
 How long will it take?"
 Four minutes," the man replied. Eve got another wheel ready. That's the queerest blowout I ever saw, though"
 The two men leaned over the tire. Suddenly Quests expression changed. His hand stole into his hip pocket.
 Tom" he explained, that wasn't blowout at all. Look here!'
 He pointed to the small level hole. Almost at once he stood back and the sunshine flashed upon the revolver clutched in his right hand.
 That was bullet" he continued. Someone fired at that tire. Tom, there's trouble about"
 The man looked nervously around.
 That's rife bullet, sure," he nut tered.
 Get on the wheel as quick as you can," Quest directed. Here, I'll give you hand"
 He stopped down to unfasten the straps which fastened the spare wheel. It was one of his rare lapses, realized a moment too late Almost in his ears came the hoarse cry:
 Hands up, guvnor! Hands up this second or I'll blow you to he'll"
 Quest glanced over his shoulder and looked into the face of Red Gallagher, raised little above the level of the road. A very ugly little revolver was pointed directly at Quests heart.
 My mates got you covered on the other side of the road, too. Hands up, both of you, or we'll make quick job of it.'
 Quest shrugged his shoulders, threw his revolver into the road and obeyed AS he did so, the other man stole out from behind a bush and sprang for the chauffeur, who under cover of the car was stealing off There was brief struggle, then the dull thud of the railway mans rife falling on the chauffeur's head. He rolled over and lay in the road.
 Pitch him off amongst the bushes," Red Gallagher ordered. You don't want anyone who comes by to see. Now lend me hand with this chap"
 What do you propose to do with mel" Quest asked.
 You'll know soon enough" Red Gal lagher answered. "A matter of five minutes talk, to start with You see that handcar house?"

 Quest sprang lightly down from the road, crossed the few intervening yards and stepped into the handcar house.
 Gallagher and his mate followed close behind. Quest paused on the threshold
 It's filthy dirty hole" he re- marked. Cant we have our little chat out here? Is 1t money you want?"
 Gallagher glanced around. Then with an ugly push of the shoulder he sent Quest reeling into the shed. His great form blocked up the doorway.

 How nice of you to be so punctual, MT. French, she exclaimed, making room for him by her side. twill you tell the man to drive to MT. Quests house in Georgia square?"
 The inspector obeyed and took his place in the luxurious limousine.
 How beautifully punctual we are!" she continued, glaneing at the clock.
