Enormous Bear HaIts
 Auto Full Of Men

EVERETT, Oct While T. M, Morgan, road contractor, was. riding in an auto with a paT-y of men along a road to Marysville, near Everett, to inspect some paving yesterday, he saw big black bear. He said it look ed as big as a house, and probably weighed about 800 pounds. Others of the party estimated it's weight as anything under a ton. Bruin was in the middle of the road and was so absorbed in his inspection of the work that he paid no attention to the ap- preaching automobile. To. avoid col lision, Morgan stopped his machine The bear after a leisurely survey Of the machine and it's occupants sur rendered the right-of-way and disap- peared in the brush None of the men were armed.

MRS. BURGUN NOW
 READY FOR PUPILS
WILL TEACH PIANO AND VOICE TO A LIMITED NUMBER
 SCHOLARS.

Mrs. James Burgun, who returned last June from six months of study with Miss Dahl. principal of the Cor nish School of Music of Seattle, where she took up the Leschetizky method for the piano, and studied under Fran cis Smith, the old Bel Canto school of production for voice, now wishes to announce that she is ready to take a limited number of pupils for these studies. Francis Smith, who was for four years connected with the Metro politan Opera House in New York City is one of the best vocal teachers in Seattle, as also is Miss Dahl. Mrs. Burgun, who studied for six months under these two excellent teachers has added great deal to her abilities no doubt and with her years of prac- tical experience is surely well quail fled to teach most successfully both voice and piano.

The envelope was sealed with Bur-
dicks private seal. and on the outside
it was addressed to the firm of Jewell
ers in New York Of which John Day
was now a member.
He slipped the sealed envelope into
his inner pocket, and then. his search
ended. he went to the library to dis
cover that the fighting servants had
vanished. He never saw either or
them again.
John Days trip around the world
ended there and then. He took the
next steamer for San Francisco, and
six weeks later he stepped into the
private Office of his firm with Henry
Burdick's confession and the missing
diamond. l,
Why the guilty man had deferred his
confession until the day Of his death
and why he had never had the cour-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1T is understood that l purchase the
house as it stands now, with all of its
contents" warned John Day, as he sat
in the Office Of the Japanese agent.
The Japanese bowed deferentially.
Eyes, Mr.. Day, it shall be as you
desire. My clerk has made an inven-
tory of the contents of the Tatsayo
house, and you will find that not even
shoji is out of place or a kakemono
missing from the walls.''
John Day nodded approval, and be-
fore the day closed he found himself
the owner of the Tokyo residence Of
the late Henry Burdick, a self exiled
American, whom he had known many
years ago in the United States.
The house sat back from the street
perhaps hundred feet and was sur
rounded by high stone wall without
q door or any other sign of entrance to
break it's rough surface.
At the end of the wall was red
lacQuered gate that led into narrow
lane bordered on either side by bam-
boos, whose feathery tops interlaced
and formed pale green roof overhead.
Halfway down this lane of bamboos
was a door set in the wall leading
straight into the garden of the house
purchased by John Day. This was the
main entrance and led up flower bor-
dered path to the veranda Of the house.
Farther down the lane there was an
other door in the wall that gave ell
trance to the kitchen gardens and the
servants quarters.
The Tatsayo house, as the place was
called In reference to the original
builder and owner of the pretty resi-
dence, was now the home of John Day.
On that first evening spent in his
new home Day wandered from one
room to another with the inventory in
his hands, checking off the contents
OF each apartment, until he felt as
sured that since the day Of Henry
Burdick's death not one article had
been disturbed.
Henry Burdick's will had been a
brief one. 1t directed that the house
he sold and the proceeds. together
with certain securities, be given to his
relatives in New England. TO John
Days surprise, he found himself
named as an executor of the will.
1t was surprise because he and
Henry Burdick were bitter enemies
and had been ever since Day had dis.
covered that Henry Burdick had deep.
~ wronged him in business matter
and fed to Japan. Days appearance
in Tokyo a few days before Burdick's
death was purely accidental. and he
did not know that Burdick was aware
Of his presence. But the hastily drawn
will and naming of Day as an executor
gave color to his suspicion that Bur
dick had known of his presence in the
Japanese capital and for some reason
had desired to. bring him in close touch
with his affairs.
In their youth these two men hai
both been employed by the same firm
Of jewelers.. A magnificent diamond
was missed from the safe. and suspi
ciOn was divided between John Da!
and Henry Burdick. Burdick managed

the elated redskins was accepted al
critical approval of their efforts and
the skaters applied themselves to a

"And you found nothing in the room
the thing that he might have tried
to conceal?' questioned Day.
Nothing, excellency," returned Hat.
Su.
Day dismissed him, and later in the
evening when all the servants had re-
tired to their quarters John Day made
an exhaustive search of the house. He
left the library till the last, and it
was long after midnight when he turn
ed into that dimly lighted room.
He looked around.
Where would he conceal large dia-
mond as big as hazel nut If he had
been minded to conceal such a gem?
Under the rugs? Within the vases?
In a niche of the carving? Within that
grinning idol?
There were a score of places to
choose from.
He began with the rugs, cropping
carefully over every inch of their sur
face for the missing stone.
The rugs refused to divulge the Sc
cret.
Then the innumerable curios. The
grinning idol when shaken gave back
dust of sandalwOod and a smell OF
joss sticks. The ivory elephant re-
fused to offer any hiding place.
The KOkuro vase on the mantel-
piece
John Day looked at it's graceful out
lines. There was gray surface traced
with delicate cherry boughs and fly
ing birds. The neck was very small.
He took It down and examined it. The
missing diamond would never have en-
tered that tiny ori6ce, yet it must be
somewhere.
Suddenly in the silent house there
came a sound.
John Day extinguished the light, re-
placed the vase and stepped behind a
carved screen.
Into the darkened room came q bent
form holding lighted lantern. The
glow Of the light showed the tense
features of-Hatsu, the house boy.
He looked furtively around, and
then his feet led him swiftly to the
mantelpiece, where he took down the
Kokuro vase. He glanced over his
shoulder into the dusky corners, turn
ed the vase upside down and shook it
vigorously. Just as he replaced it
there came the sound of another step
In the room, and there was the evil
countenance of the gardener peering in.
Hatsu turned, saw him, and instant
~ the two men leaped for each others
throat.
They wrestled silently. each one
struggling for IA death hold. John
Day, standing there behind the screen.
narveled at the deadly struggle.
What was it that each one desired
the Kokuro vase?
He stepped forward, removed the
vase from its place and slipped it in
his pocket. Then as the forms remain
ed silent on the floor he glanced once
at them. and, convinced that they
would fight it out between them. he
went upstairs to his own bedroom and
locked every door and window. j
He wrapped the vase in a cloth and
then shattered 1t against the edge Of
his trunk. When he unwrapped the
broken pieces there fell into His hands
an envelope rolled into a tube. II one
end was somethin4 round and hard.

An extremely strange bird Is the

dove. In color these pigeons are usual
" red, mottled or checkered, though
they are sometimes found Of blush
color. Their voice battles all descrip-

gurgling notes, like the noise Of water
poured from a bottle. The utterance
Is varied, and, though there is a resem-
blance at times to the drumming Of
true trumpeter, it is not so sonorous.
It is frequently interrupted by one or
more Of the respiratory "ahs," which
no doubt gives them the name OF
laughers. Their cooling is soft and me-
lodious, and both sexes take part In
