Deane reached the bank to find
crowd gathered there, but that was not
the present center of interest The
emissaries of the law were securing
the district ia every direction. Dam
vers and his extras, provided with au.
tomobiies, were following down clues.
Deane got the primary facts of the
case and rather disheartenedly paced
down the alley. Turning toward the
main street, as he passed an old un-
| used barn he paused. A groan, quick,
spasmodic, caught his hearing. He en-
tered the lower dismantled story. He
flashed his electric torch about. Some
thing glistened where broken lad

"Bloodl" muttered Deane, and as

light. There, lying face up and stifr

Deane became the .astute reporter in
the presence of a tremendous scoop.

covered up the body with the hay, he

telling of four columns of clever "theo-

as he went homeward, proud, COM

A DOUBLE SCOOP
BY GENEvlEVE ULMAR.
Observation-Disclosures

Deane Marshall had made a good
impression upon Elva Waters, or fan
cied he had He was doubly anxious
to win the good graces Of her father,
the Hon. Rupert Waters, judge, ex-
mayor and present owner of the Daily
Gazette. Rushton was a lively, up-to-
date little city and boosted two daily
newspapers, hot rivals, fighting each
other every inch Of the way and keep
Ing things locally at fever heat.
Blinn Danvers was the star reporter
on the Field and once In while called
upon Elva, which Deane deemed an
invasion Of home territory. Danyers
was dyed-in-the-wool Journalist,
while Deane was mere novice. The
latter was striving hard to hold his
position on the Gazette and win bet
ter one, for that meant the good will
Of the judge and permanent position
near TO Elya. The policy of Danvers
was obstructive. He did all he could
TO keep Deane from scoring a scoop
or getting even his honest share of the
news. This was exemplified one day
when both young reporters stood on
the platform of junction. A politi-
clan of national fame was to reach
there at a. m, wait eight minutes
for a connection and go on his way.
Both reporters were to get brief In
teryiew within that precious four hum
bred and eighty seconds time. The
Field cared little for the item, as the
politician was of a party antagonistic
to its principles. For the Gazette 1t
would be quite feature.
In his usual fresh way, and knowing
the ropes and full of assurance. Dan
vers got the ear of the politician first.
persistently he held his pl%ye by the
side of the annoyed functionary, simply
wasting the time to keep Deane from
getting in a word edgewise. So net
tied was Deane that as the next train
pulled in he jumped aboard, deter
mined If it took all day he would Sc
cure that coveted interview. AT first
the politician resented further infringe

he was making the play of his life.

"You interest me-" acknowledged
the politician, and Deane told his
whole story. The politician smiled,

eight hours TO make connections,

that was worthy of big headlines and
told something.

CRITICIZED PRES. WILSON.
For Wording of His Declaration About
Right Of Self determination.

Berne, Nov ~ "wednesday (by the
Associated Press -" Austria Hungary
will, itself, be future league OF nations,
and would not be surprised to see the
organization Of this league planned by
President Wilson, declared Councillor
Julius Meinl to-day.
DR.. Meinl critized President Wilson
although he is utterly in sympathy with
him for what probably was an uninten-
tional wording of his declaration that
peoples must have the right of self-de-
termination.
This phrase, he said tended to stir up
the people Of Austria Hungary and make
them FESTIVE under authority He con
tinued;
"What President Wilson might have
said, and what he doubtless meant, was
that Austro- Hungarian peoples should
have the right of regenerating and re
building the empire on basis of politi-
cal independence Of sovereignty between
the various states, but with federal
economic unity somewhat on the lines
followed in the establishment Of the
United States"
