EPISODE xv.
Confession.

With his hands clasped, behind his back and his brows bent in frown that made him look oddly old end tired, Langdon paced slowly up and down. Over and over in his mind he went back through the tesum ony of the long trial of Mary Page. He was confident now as he had not been confident in the beginning, that she had not shot David Pollock in frenzy of delirious fear.
 But who HAD killed him?
 That was the problem!
 Never in all his experience had he remembered so baffIing a case.
 At least half dozen times he had felt that his fingers were at last upon the right thread that would lead out of the maze, but each time his edi- flee of hope had crum bled.
 The doorman at the Hotel Repub- lie had repeated only what the chauf- feur had already to1d-that Shale had left Pollock as soon as he got out of the machine; but even so Langdon had sent Brennan and his confreres to SCOUT the town for him.
 He ought not to be hard to find; but, once found, could he tell any, thing?
 That was the question.
 And so, wearily and endless1y Langdon placed the stone-paved room, doubly ugly in the clear light of the early morning.
 Suddenly he was halted in his self imposed sentry duty by the sound of g. knock on the door, and in response to his "come in" Daniels entered.
 1T looked for you over at the oh1ce v T here''
 Did you want me for anything speclal?' asked Langdon coldly, and the theatrical man flushed Yes, he said, "I did I had a long talk With my wife last night, and she and l decided that the hoodoo on The Covington Is too black for. US. anyway. No good can come out of that place for me, and she-she said, she wanted me to come down here and ask you to put me on the stand

That settles it, said Billy Boys father. He says he doesn't want to go to church and he sha'nt I won't have him dragged to church until he hates the sight of it as I used to-"
 Billy Boys mother looked shocked. T want to form the church-going habit in him." she said.
 That's all right" said Billy Boys father. "When he gets old enough to understand what the minister saws, and to know what it all means, I'll back you in seeing that he goes to church. But not now, when it doesn't mean anything to him except having to keep still while the minister says things that he can't understand any more than you could if he spoke in Hebrew No, siree, and if you have any respect for the House of God 1 shouldn't think you'd want your son to think of it as a kind of prison. Billy Boys Mother Was Shocked.
 Billy Boys mother looked still more shocked. You do say such queer things John," she said.
 To some people any point of view different from the one they have held is always queer"
 I must say I am glad for Billy Boy that he isn't going to be forced to go 1 to church just yet. His mother will see that he goes to Sunday school. And that is we'll. At Sunday school there will be something he can un- derstand. And by and by when he is 1 old enough to understand what the minister says, he will go to church. And that too is well.
 Church is Nothing But An Endurance Test to Him.
 But now when Billy is five and church is nothing but an endurance test, I'm right glad he isn't going to

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW
CONTINUES IN FORCE,

Washington. March IA mislead-
ing statement has recently become
current in newspapers OF the Missis-
slppi Valley and elsewhere. to the ef'
feet that the department OF agricul-
ture has suspended the enforcement
c. the federal regulations under the
migratory bird Law and by this means
has enabled sportsmen, under state
laws. TO shoot wild fowl the coming
spring.
Under the federal regulations as
they now stand. the season on all
migratory wild fowl Is closed until
next autumn throughout the United
States. Federal inspectors and war.
dens are required. and others inter
ested in the protection Of wild fowl
are requested TO report to the depart
ment OF agriculture all cases OF viola
tons OF the regulations. in order that
proper action may be taken.
The department OF agriculture has
no power TO suspend the law or to
pardon violations OF the regulations
Doubtless the n impression.
on which the newspaper statements
are based has grown out OF the pen
dency OF litigation involving the con
stitutionality OF the act OF congress
approved March 4. 1913. under which
the regulations were promulgated
The lower federal courts diagreed as
TO the validity OF the statute and the
issue was carried to the supreme
court Of the United States. The case
was argued In the supreme court In
October. 1915, but has not been de
cided. Following the lower court de
clsions, congress appropriated none!
for the purpose OF continuing the on
forcement OF the law. The depart
ment OF agriculture is bound to re
port to the department OF justice vio
lations OF the regulations II the su
preme court should declare the Law
constitutional. All persons should
therefore. be warned OF the DANCE
they incur from failure to abide b,
the regulations.
