COMMISSIONER PAGE HEARD
Mayor Taylor of Little Rock Welcom- ed Delegates After Rev. Fletcher, Pastor of First Methodist Church
 Pronounced Invocation.

Little Rock
 The question of fixing grades and standards on which the price of cot ton seed should be based occupied the greater part of the opening day session of the Arkansas Cottonseed Crushers Association. which eonYen- ed j0 he assembly hall of the old state capitol building at Little Rock. G. Worth Il Agee, president of the Barrow-Agee Laboratories. speaking on the subject, .Is It Practical 10 Grade Seed by Oil Content" declared that it was not only practical, but that 1t is the only fair way of passing the price on cotton seed and that a proper system of grading would pre- vent great loss to both the growers and mills About 100 delegates at tended.
 Mayor Taylor welcomed the dele gates after the Rev. P. Fletcher, pas tor of the First Methodist Church, pronounced the invocation. F. o. Collman of Hope, manager of the United Oil Mills, responded.
 John H. Page, state commissioner of mines, manufacture and agricui ture, advocated the establishment of clearly defined grades and standards to be fixed by the Bureau of Stand ards at Washington.

we can't deliver to you on account of the storm. Are you expecting any thing?"
 "Yes." assented; 'I am always get ting telegrams. Read 1t to me over the telephone"
 "I cant do that. I don't know you. You'll have to get Mir. Green or one of his family to take the message for you"
 "Very well. Hold the wire" I re- quested, putting my hand over the mouthpiece. "Lucile, will you take this telegram2 It's for me. but they say they'll have to read it to some member of the family because they don't know me-
 Lucille took the receiver, picked up pencil hanging by a string to the tcle- phone and wrote down the telegram on scratch pad on the wall as the operator read it over the wire. When It was done, without comment she handed 1t to me.
 It read as follows:
 N. Blaney-Coming to you at last. Ar rive today. Have marriage license ready.
 VIVA DUNMORE. Wait" exclaimed; this cant be for me. Call up that operator again" Don't try to explain" said Lucille coldly, 'I suppose you don't even know who Vida Dunmore isI'
 l debated a moment as to whether should lie or not, but what was the use? l did know a Vida Dunmore an actress. In fact, l had seen and criticised her work only the week be- fore
 Yes" l said slowly, "I know her, or l know a girl by that name, but we are not friends. This telegram is a mistake"
 I saw that she did not believe me, but l had no chance to explain, be- cause in an instant we had all jumped to our feet and were strainins our oyerwrought nerves to catch sound which punctuated the roar of the storm.
 Somewhere near a revolver shot had been fired.
 We all hastened out of doors.
 Do you suppose some one is shoot ing at mother?" Lucille worried.
 l tried to reassure her, but my ef- forts were politely repulsed. Appar- ently the matter of the telegram had erected a wall of ice between us.
 Ut sounded as if it came from the beach," Kent pointed in the direction of the dock.
 No: l am sure it was inland" ar gued Bopp.
 At heart was inclined to agree with my rival, but rather than appear to do so I started for the water front.
 Around a bank of bushes came in full sight of the lake. There was a comparatively quiet cove where the dock was, but just beyond a headland

Are You a Superior Person7

A professor of psychology announced to his class somewhat humorously one day that he should propound prob lem by means of which each member could prove to his own satisfaction whether or not he was a superior per son. The average person, he explained, never works 1t out; only the person of superior practical ability succeeds. Here is the problem, as propounded by the Youths Companion:
 A man has two pails. one of which holds exactly five quarts and the other exactly three quarts. He Is sent to the river to bring back exactly seven quarts of water, no more, no less. With only the flve-quart pail and the three quart pail how can he measure exactly seven quarts? Can you solve It?

CHAPTER V-Continued.

~You seem to know a good deal about detective methods" said, with mock admiration.
 "Yeh," he responded seriously; 'T ought to. I've been chased by some of the best detectives in New York. !" Then he added proudly, "I had Burns after me once"
 Under her window Is the first place to look" said Kent, alive with inter est now in the scheme "Where did she sleepT'
 picked out the window of Mrs. Greens room, and we carefully search ed the wet ground underneath by light ing matches,
 .Isn't it more probable that she would come out by the door" l sug- gested. "She could never climb from that second story window"
 "Sure she could" he asserted. "See that rain pipe here7 It goes alongside her window. lady like her could shin up and down that like mouse" Someway the picture of my future mother-in-law q hoped) frisking up and down a narrow water pipe was beyond my imagination.
 Look herer' exclaimed my compan- son, pointing to the ground in front of him. els that or is it not the print of c lady's shoe?"
 looked. There was certainly footprint there, and it was small and narrow.
 AIt's fresh too. You can tell by the mud that it's been made since the heavy rain. Old footprints would have been washed out anyhow"
 This was sure enough reasoning.
 Kent started to walk in the direction that the footprints led, and l followed. All at once Kent stopped and lit sev- .eral matches all In one place.
 .T think I've solved the mystery" he said, bending over the mud. But dt looks bad for the doll. There's guy following her. Look at these marks"
 With a shudder I verified his state ment Larger footprints were in the mud with the small ones. The owner
  lowed the lady, because in many cases the small footprints were partially ob- liberated by the larger ones.
 Kent echoed my own thought. Gee, I wish we had brought the gun with us."
 ~Let's hurry on before it's too late,' I urged.
 We pressed forward at a killing pace, only stopping once in awhile to assure ourselves that we were on the right track. At one place the ground was ,trampled over considerable area.
 "He caught up with her here." Kent Interpreted. 'They struggled. Look, she dropped this."
 He picked up handkerchief. By the light of q match l discovered that 1t was marked e." There could be no doubt; we were on the right track,
 ''She got away from him, though, exulted Kent. "See here, just beyond her footsteps are ahead again.

"A QOIOh SDuib OI ndlhC dhCoN N halted us in our search for
 Mrs. Green. We heard an in-
 distinct murmur of voices, the sound of twigs being broken. then ab- solute silence.
 "Shr Kent whispered. "As We are not armed, we must creep up as close as we can, then when the son of a gun pipes us off we can spring on him be- fore he can wing us. Do you get mel" I admitted that his plan was good.
 @'Then on your knees and be care xul," he commanded. We crept through mud puddles without noticing them.
 Then I heard the sound of safety against a box. When it finally lighted what would be revealed?
 A jagged circle of yellow light flick cred a moment while l crouched ready to spring, then burned dimmer and went out. The silence was unbrOken until the light disappeared, then Bopps laugh rang out loud and clear, followed a moment later by a hys- terical giggle which l recognized as Lucile's.
 While l scuttled away as hastily as possible in order to be out of range be- fore he could light another match, heard him say in childish falsetto. SOne-two-three for Monty!'
 did not hear what else he had to offer because l got out of earshot as soon as possible. A few hundred yards on the trail back to the house Kent joined me. We proceeded Indian fashion silently for q while.
 Finally he ruminated: IFS sure queer how I forgot about her and him being on the island. If 1t hadn't been for them we was doing fine. l sup pose we'll have to go back to the house and begin all over again"
 ''No more footprints" insisted hastily. "We'll just hunt as plain anna 2sur hunters and cut out the detective stun"
 Kent was visibly crestfallen-
 Suddenly the muffied report of gun reached our ears.
 They've found her." said Kent without enthusiasm. Let's go back. |" hesitated. hated to face Lucille after the ridiculous scene of short time before. Finally assented

When we reached the house no one was in sight.
 Probably upstairs putting the old dame to bed" Kent said.
 I went up, rapped on Mrs. Greens door and entered. There was no sign of her. Puzzled, went downstairs.
 Nobody there," I announced to Kent.
 Just at that moment there was sound outside, and I looked out to see Lucille and Bopp arriving.
 Well" sighed Lucille, where's motherT
 "where did you put herr" coun- tered.
 'TY" exclaimed Lucille. "I haven't seen her."
 Haven't seen herr" Kent interject- ed. Then who fired the revolyerT
 Didn't your" interposed Bopp.
 "No."
 "Who did, then?" with sudden ap- prehension.
 Kent picked up the gun from the table and broke 1t. Six loaded car tridges dropped out.
 This cannon atn't been fred" he said, sniffing the barrel.
 We looked at one another with frightened eyes. What unseen force was playing pranks on us? First the disappearance of Mrs. Green, then the revolver shot coming out of the air 1t seemed too much to account for by natural means.
 When the telephone bell rang, our nerves. all on paper edge, gave one united leap. I answered the summons.
 "Hellor said.
 This is the telegraph operator at Fair View" said a masculine voice. Have you got a party at your place named N. Blainey or something like that?"
 "Yes: am MT. Blainey."
 Probably it's for you, then. We got a rush message for N. Blainey which
