where the girl was living. and arrange
ments werc made for her to go to Back
kiVer today. where she thought she
would meet her father. At Back River
she met Creamer. who introduced himself
as her father. Throwing her arms around
the detectives neck she sobbed with Joy.
Creamcr had difficulty in getting up
enough nerve to take the girl to the police
station. He finally took her there in an
automobile, however. and she now thinks
that she is being held there only until
her father" can get her release from tho
school. She will be- taken back to the

Company I claims to have not only the
best wall-scaling team in the District Ma

COrding to time taken by two officers

Sunday Barber made a mile in less
than a inmate. which is considerable
faster than the track record held by
Barney OIdheld. The best that Barney
could cover mile in was l :0S.
The increased speed OF the track is
due largely to this fact. In seasons
past Benning has been big training
ground for horses. Since the fire last
spring. when the stables burned. there
have been but very few of the ponies

that the track has not been dragged

Value of Old Vlollns.

Genuine old violins when in a good
state of preservation always command
good prices. But the country is flood
ed with cheap factory-made viollns
labeled "Stradivarius," ETC., which
are of no particular value. In 999
cases out of a thousand violin which
is labeled as an ''old MASTER" Is one
of these modern productions, made in
Germany or France, and worth only q
few dollars. The only way to tell
whether q violin has any special value
or not Is to submit it to some good
violinist-and even then the value is
largely a matter Of opinion. Such
things have no standard market value,
and everything depends on finding q
purchaser who wants the article and
will pay for 1t. Albert Spalding, the
American viclinist, has a Guarnerius
violin for which he paid over $4,000,
but there are other violins Of the
same make which would probably not
bring quarter of that, and there are
thousands of fiddles with fake Guar
nerius" labels in them which are
worth very little.-Pathfinder.
