Parents of Marcus Peterson,
the 17-year-old scnoolboy ar
rested on burglary charges fol-
lowing a comparison of his fin
ger-prints with prints left on a
pane of glass in a burglarizsd
butcher shop, have an absolute
alibi for their son and will make
a vigorous fight against the boys
arrest.
They declare the boy was
home on the night of the our
glary, and that he could not pos
sibly have been implicated.
Bertillon Officer Harry Smith
swears the finger-prints left on
the pane of glass are those oil
young Peterson. He has com.
pared the prints of all four fin.
gers of each hand, he says, and
has Photographic copies that are
absolute duplicates, he says.
The police are uncertain what
action to take with their boy
prisoner. Because he is only II
he is a ward of the juvenile
court, and cannot be tried by 9
jury. 1t is probable that the
finger-prints will be laid before
Judge Card of the juvenile court
and he will be asked to decide
from them whether or not the
boy is guilty and should II sent
back to the Chehalis reform
school.
Parents of the boy are threat,

said Vendome; at least she didn't
mention them"
Which means that the skele-

the Jewels" Natalie argued;
they have not been disturbed.
For all we know, the skeletons
may be the result of violence. The
Frenchman may have died in their

How about the one who got

the stone after the others were

COMING, MARCH End,
THE PRINCE OF GRAUSTARK.

After a lapse of years, comes
a story about a Prince of Graus-
tark, who is none other than the
son of Princess Yetive, the hero
Inc of "Graustark," so well re-
membered by our readers who en-
JOY good fiction.
This Prince is a full grown
man, very much full grown, and
very much of a man. Moreover,
there is a beautiful girl in the
offing, whose relation to Bev-
erly is that of a daughter to
mother. Also, there is a very
shrewd, forceful, powerful A
meriean millionaire, with a bril-
liant and lovely daughter.
Now given these ingredients, 80
to speak, and the reader may
trust George Barr McCutcheon to
mix them up TO give them Just
the right flavor-the flavor so
well remembered in the famous
stories "Graustark" and "Bever-
ly of Graustark." This intensely
interesting story of romance in
the quaint, far-off principality OF
Graustark, will appear in the
columns of the Courier, beginning
Thursday, March 2. You should
