He ate heartily, then lighted cigar

Clifford s cruelty hurt me fearfully.

almost more than L could bear. l had
been so pleased that had hit upon a So

WILL THE MYSTERY BE SOLVED

The finding of the body of Irwin Springer, who while
working as night clerk at the Marion Hotel last winter
suddenly disappeared the night of January dscloses
another mystery At the time of his disappearance there
was talk about liquors being sold at the Marion hotel and
it was ntmated in quarters that ne had fled to
avoid trouble There nothing to show that ne was
connected in anyway with such sales, but as his dsap
pearance had to be accounted for in that
to have been the most handy His case illustrates the
faacv of jumping at conclusions for while this talk was
going on the poor young fellow was lying perhaps at
the bottom of the river needless alike of praise or blame
Now the puzzng question arises: "How did ne come
to his death?" The condition of the skeleton suggests
that the body had been anchored in the river Ihls
theory would necessarily mean that ne was the victim OF
foul play This brings up the question of motive. he
had no enemies so far is known, and plausible mo-
tive suggested for to suggest would point to some
person as his murderer The matter may always remain
mystery and yet time often explains apparently
motveess murder as his if it really that Already
there are suggestions to the possible murderer but
these like the story of Sprnges disappearance have mol
foundation other than in suspicion and consequently hey
cannot even be voiced

BURROS

The burros lazily infest the mountain
regions of the west. You see them on the
dizzy trails, with dropping ears and switch
ing tails; and as they climb the rocky steep,
they all seem walking in their sleep. The
world has many mournful things, that walk
on legs or fly on wings; the moping owl
seems so depressed it gives you fantods in
your breast; the cross-eyed jackal sits and
howls more dismally than all the owls. The
circus clown has won renown as being ut
terly cast down. But if you'd see the soul
