The page now stood beside him with
q tray. "Open it." he told the boy,
indicating half-bottle of champagne
and then to Peter: "I'm having a
bath. Won't you jump in7"
Peter whistled, watching the wine
cream over the brandy in the long
glass. ''King's peg, chr" he said, with
lift of disappearing eyebrows. "Here,
boy, bring me some Scotch and plain
water for common people"
The boy disappeared as Whitaker
lifted his glass.
"I'm not waiting" he said bluntly.

Whatever he had meant to say, he
left unfinished because of the return
of the page with his Scotch; but he
had said enough to let Whitaker under
stand that he knew about the Carstairs
affair.

Peter insisted. ut just can't be so.

His big, red, generous fist described
a large and inconclusive gesture of
violence.
"Well," he growled finally" grant all

Whitaker: II don't know. Wish 1

Damaged Goods" Tonight

Manager Stats Rankin, of the Mis-
sion wishes to announce that in show
ing Damaged Goods" which comes
to his show shop for two perform
ances, tonight, that he considers the
theme of the picture one in which
every right thinking man and woman
should be vitality concerned. He, along
with folks who have read literature
commenting on the play, knows that
the subject is far from elegant-but
one that strikes every person with
stunning force of the desirability Of
a single standard of morals before
marriage.
Stats thinks that if all were acquaint
ed with the motive Of the picture two
shows at the Mission would not bC
sufficient to accommodate the crowd.

Stats Books WelI-KnOwn Star

What Manager Stats Of the Mission
says is the most important dramatic
event in the history of Clayton is billed
for his theatre Friday, tomorrow night
when the well-konwn comedy star,
May Stewart, will appear in what is
advertised as an elaborate production
of the w. S. Gilbert comedy, "The
Sculptor's Dream" Mr.. Gilbert wrote
the dialogue for the comic opears
"Pinafore" and "The Mikado."
Stats told the reporter that he was
able to secure Miss Stewart and COM
pany quite by accident, having learned
that they were on their way east tC
close the season and only by Offering
a very substantial guarantee was hC
able to book this attraction.
Gilbert's comedies have the com
mendable record of being differen
from the usual present day affair,
and the "Sculptor's Dream" is herald
ed as one of his best.

Villa Death Believed to be Fake

San Antonio, April 1S.-Gen. Bell
reporting from FL Paso to General
Funston gave it his opinion, after the
thorough Investigations he had made,
that the report of Villas death had
been manufactured in Juarez.
Reports were received here today
from Mexican sources that the Amer
lean expeditionary force was being
constrained in three places, among de-
tatchments near Satevo, the main col
umn near Namiquipa and a third div
ision at Colonia Dublan
These reports also stated that the
Parral fighting had had a most un-
fortunate effect on the people of north
en Mexico, and had greatly inhamed
the anti-American feeling. The Par
raj incident, it was said, had been mag
nifed by anti-American and anti-Ca
rama agitators into a great BATTLE in
which the Americans were badly beat.

The Mexican dead were accounted
for as unarmed citizens who had beer

Judge to Decide School Fate Monday

3 Judge Lieb after hearing the plea
for an injunction to enjoin the school
board from disposing of $4,000 worth
of school bonds decided that the board
should go ahead and receive bids on
the bonds and he will decide Mon
day whether the injunction shall be
dissolved or made perpetual.
H. B. Woodward represented the cit

injunction. The controversy grew out
of several parties offering to donate
sites for the school building together
with bonus after the school boarC
had contracted a site for $500.
