Although but slightly familiar with
Baltimore, Warren promptly located
a glittering cafe, before which stood
line of taxis.
Inside the music, dancing and re-

of irresponsibility that being away on

A Thrilling Serial of Devotion and Mystery

Brooke had only met the old lady
once. She was confirmed invalid.
the widow of a Church of England
clergyman. who had been dead some
fifteen years. Mrs. Melhuish lived on
her limited means in a private hotel
in Queens Gate. Di had probably
wired to the Junior Charlton after he
had left
Her message. which would explain
everything satisfactorily, was waiting
him there at this very moment What
a fool he was to sit there and worry
unnecessarily. He would ring up the
club at once.
He was about to do so when Collier
brought in a batch of letters and two
oE three kilograms. Who knew, the
explanation might be here!
THAT will do Collier said Brooke,
dismissing the man. I'll ring for you
in a few minutes. By the way, you
might go and telephone the Junior
Calrton and the Junior Traveller and
inquire if there is any message or any
thing for me.
Very good, sir"
Brooke sat down and quickly, but
methodically opened his correspond
ence, starting with the kilograms.
The kilograms were unimportant,
and dealt with business matters.
There was a long one from Lord
Lemonvale suggesting an interview
later in the day: there was another
from Polita, saying he was starting
for Brussels to see the king of the
Belgians. and requesting a few mo-
ments' private conversation with Mr..
Brooke before he started by the night
+ train-nothing of very great impor-
tance.
1t was the same with the letters.
Half dozen business communications
which could have as we'll have been
attended to by his secretary, several
invitations, and the usual batch of
| CONGRATULATIONS which had been flood
| ing him for the last two days.
| He flung the open correspondence
onto his table for future attention
and went in search of Collier and the
! telephone. which was in the adjoining
room. Collier was. speaking at the
! instrument.
/ There is nothing. sir" he said,
| ringing off.
Have you tried both clubs?"
Yes, sir"
"Humph, That seems strange!
Are YOU quite sure?"
Collier did not feel called upon to
answer the needless question. OF
course he was quite sure. He knew
what he had been doing.

might have seen Brooke's grim, tan

 to. WINS SILVER CUP
Sanford, Daggs, and Grand Canyon Sheep Displays At
 tract Much Attention.

The Grand Canyon Sheep Company won the silver cup for the best pen of ten Ram boullet rams, at the Arizona State Fair held at Phoenix week before last.
 The Southwestern Stockman Farmer, published at Phoenix, has the following to say in re- gard to the matter:
 "A mammoth silver cup was offered for the best pen of ten Rambouillet rams and was won by Grand Canyon Sheep Com pany of Flagstaff.
 "The Rambouillet breed of sheep are the French type of Merino, and are bred more ex- tensively than any other in the state, partly because of their fine wool, and partly because of their peculiar habit of band ing together which makes them the best sheep for the range.
 "The number of sheep in Arizona is increasing every year, and now is nearly two million head. Some of the old CT sheep states are falling be. hind in the number of sheep so that Arizona bids fair soor to be in the front rank as g sheep state.
 ''For the first time, a sheeI specialist was employed from outside the state to judge the sheep. Prof. J. M. Jones o1 College Station. Texas, was selected because of the fact that he has had awide exper. Iience in all phases of the sheer industry and in his work at the Texas College of Agriculture and experiment stations, he has had anopportunity to be. come familiar with range sheep.

At the meeing of the Town Council Tuesday night Mayor Watson and Councilmen Kirk patrick and Miller and Mehck and Town Clerk Jerrie Lee were present. The expense ac- count of the town was attended to and the Clerk was ordered to draw warrants for the var ions amounts. A communlca- ton from the Williams News was read in which a proposl- ton was submitted to raise one half of the expense of marking Williams streets, on condition that the Council appropriate one half, the expense not to a. mount to more than $40.
