 June waved her hand
 Back on the beach, Mary watched the struggling Pietro, and tried des- perately to decide what the wisest move would be. His awful cries would attract larger crowd in few minutes.
 It flashed upon her, suddenly. that there was q way of protecting June, even now With the wrap still on her arm she ran toward the screaming Italian. Indicating that she was go- ing to release him. Mary unbuckled running up.
 Pietro scrambled to his feet, Chok ing with rage, A torrent of sound poured from his thick oily lips.
 My monk gone-stole-g an-gotta round on hand! Stole, Cut-a rope! Svipe-a monk Beat it"
 Mary stepped forward and spoke to the officer
 Tt seems that someone stole his monkey He's showing you the cut rope in his hand"
 The patrolman raised his cap
 T didn't see you at first. Miss Mary he said pleasantly. Yes, I understood that someone had copped the monkey; but what's he getting at. drawing things on the back O. his hand and moving his fingers like he was cutting paper2.
 As near as l can make out Mary answered slowly. the person who stole the animal cut the rope with scissors and had a mark of some kind on the back of her hand"
 "A mark" the policeman jumped eagerly at the word. Say, was it q red mark-a Red Circle?" he asked Pietro eXcitedly
 Seeing that at last someone was beginning to understand. Pjetro went back into Italian hystoria The policeman turned again to Mary
 You've been on the beach some time haven't you2 Do you remem.er seeing anyone go past with mon kew"
 Certainly" the old woman replied promptly. I remember distinctly seeing young woman on the beach with a monkcy.'
 Do you remember which way she went?" he asked.
 Mary. apparently thought deeply foi | a moment
 Yes she said at last. very delib erately. she went down the beach 1T that direction.
 Her finger pointed directly opposit, to the way June had gone

 His dreams were pleasant. Know Ing that his quarry was safe in the house and that she seemed uasuspl- cious of being trailed. Lamar dtd not see the use for any extra trick work.

 Why certainly. madam. certainly" gasped poor Lamar, again threatened with a fall as he tried to be courtly
 Then he raised his face. One look at the dark. slightly aquiline features and he was very erect and very cool.
 "On second thoughts he said calm ly. T don't think l will. You're under arrest"

 Ten minutes later. when she re belled. outside the entrance to the police station, he seized her arm and hustled her in. bringing her up before the sergeant's desk

JAPANESE COLONIZING
CONQUESTS IN PACIFIC
They are Preparing to Hold South Sea
Islands, Says Prof.
Starr.

San Francisco, April 4.--Japan is pre-
pairing to hold the Ladrone and Marshall
islands, which she has taken from Ger
many during the war as the ally of Great
Britain, says Frederick Starr, professor
of anthropology at the University OF Chi
cago, who has arrived here after six
months of research in Japan and Corea.
Japan, he says, is engaged in explor-
ing the captured islands and sending
colonists to occdpy them. The islands
lie about half way between the Philip.
pines and Hawaii.
"Since the war began" said Professor
Starr, "more than 1000 new millionaires
have been made in Japan. Extrayagant
ideas have taken possession of the Japa-
nese nation and wave of speculation
is sweeping over the country"
He said also that Japan's trade with
India had increased enormously since
the war; and that in this development
lay the possibility of future commercial
with Great Britain.

CHILDREN HATE
PILLS, CALOMEL

If Cross, Feverish, Constipated, Give
California Syrup of
Figs

Look back at your childhood days. Re-
member the "dose" mother insisted on
castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you
hated them, how you fought against TAX
ing them.
With our children it's different. Moth
ers who cling to the old form of physic
simply don't realize what they do. The
children's revolt is well-founded. Their
tender little "insides" are injured by
them.
If you child's stomach liver and bow
els need cleansing, give only delicious
"California Syrup of Figs" Its action is
positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers
keep this harmless "fruit laxative" ham
dy; they know children love to take it,
that it never fails to clean the liver
and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and
that a teaspoonful given to-day saves
sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of california Syrup of Figs" which has
full directions for babies, children of ali
ages and for grown-ups plainly on each
bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here.
See that it is made by California Fig
Syrup Company" Refuse any other kind

Senator Works Tells Why
He Voted Against Louis
d. Brandeis
NOMINEE INTOLERANT.
OFTEN OFFENSIVE
Resorted to Deception Even
When 1t Did Not
Profit Him

Washington, April 4.--Action on the
nomination of Louis ID. Brandeis to the
supreme court was postponed yesterday
by the Senate judiciary committee, after
it had received reports from all but one
of the five senators on the sub committee
which held hearings
/ Senator Fletcher, Democrat, made a re-
port merely recommending confirmation.
Senator Walsh made a long report and
| Senator Chiffon, the third Democrat, will
submit report to-day.
Senators Cummins and Works made
reports against confirmation.
Senator Walsh declared in his report:
THE real crime of which this man is
guilty is that he has exposed the iniqui
ties of men in high places in our financial
system. He has not stood in awe of the
majesty of wealth.
ut is easy for brilliant lawyer so to
conduct himself as to escape calumny and
utilization. All he needs to do is to
drift with the tide. If he never assails
the doors of evil who stand high in the
market place he will have no enemies or
detractors or none that he need heed.
The man who never represents the public
or the impecunious citizen in any great
forensic contest but always the cause of
corporate wealth never has these trou-
bles. 1t is always the other fellow whose
professional character is a little below
par"
"An analysis of the evidence has led
me irresistiBly to conclude that the nom
ination should be rejected" says Senator
Works. Il am greatly in sympathy with
much of the work that Mr.. Brandeis has
been doing to better economic, industrial
and social conditions. Much of this | am
convinced he has done generously, I'M
selishly and for the common good.
"Some of his friends say that he is
radical and for that reason has offended /
the conservatives. That may be no re-
proach but the temperament that has
made him many enemies would detract
from his usefulness as a Judge. He is of
the material that makes good advocates,
reformers and crusaders, but not good or
safe judges To place man on the SUI
Dreme court bench who rests under
loud would be grievous mistake"
Senator Cummins, whose criticism of
he nominee for his course in the railroad
per cent increase rate case was made
,ublic Sunday, submitted general conclu-
ions.
Il am in sympathy, for the most part,
With his sociological and economic opin- ]
ons," said he, "and for the work that he I
