He raised his left leg, took his
boot in his hands and gave a
slight twist to the heel. There was
a little click, and a sort of double

dimntutive articles, such as a GIN

pills.

GERMAN ARMY FACES
SHORTAGE OF HORSES

With the French Armies. (by mail.)
III a been definitely ascertained
hat the German army is undergoing
another severe crisis as regards its
cavalry horses.
Not only is there a scarcity Of the
airy. u those already possessed are
considerably h worse for insufficient
n%ourishment, owing to scarcity Of
grains and hay in Germany.
For the moment the crisis does not
aprear to have affected so much the
conveys. The Germans appear to have
still a fairly large number of Belgian
horses for their heavy artillery, while
they are daily making an ever and ever
more extensive use Of horses procured
in Russia for drawing the light ma
Chine gun wagons and the various
wagons and vehicles attached to the
munition n commissary service.
"A certain economy, however is even
apparent In the use Of these, prisoners
having recently declared that the ar
tillery In their regiments were drawn
caissons by two each. just half the
usual number.
Although all the horses are now ra-
toned to three Mters of ats a day, the
Germans have succeeded in introduce
ing q substitute composed Of dried po-
So(OSo la Ia 6uO6I611lG06 " WHICH
the horses have now become accus-
toned.
However. the seriousness Of the cri-
sis Of cavalry horses for the German
army is indicated by the following re-
Gently captured order:

horses.

tinuing to run their horses at a fast

or not leading other horses, and trot-
ting them on paved roadways. In

at the present moment, this means a

"Well, certainly, 1 except"
said Valenglay, laughing. "What
do you say, my dear Desmalions ?
The whole thing may not be very
orthodox, but, hang it! Paris is
worth a mass and the Kingdom
of Mauritania is a tempting NOR
sci. Well risk the experiment"
Don Luis's face expressed so
sincere a joy that one might have
thought that he had just achieved
the most brilliant victory instead
of sacrificing a crown and fling
ing into the gutter the most fan
tastic dream that mortal man had
ever conceived and realized.
He asked:
"What guarantees do you re-
quire, Monsieur lie President?
"None."
81 can show you treaties, docu-
ments to prove"
Don't trouble. Well talk
about all that tomorrow. Mean
while, go ahead. You are free"
The essential word, the incred-
ible word, was spoken.
Don Luis took a few steps to-
ward the door.
Zone word more, Monsieur lie
President" he said, stopping.
Among my former companions
is one for whom l procured a post
suited to his inclinations and his
deserts. This man l did not send

that some day or other he might
be of use to me through the po-
sition which he occupied. l am

Caceres denounced, with corobor-

of Arsene Lupin, is in prison"

of professional honor, Monsieur

"Oho!"
Monsieur lie President, your
consent will be an act of justice
and l beg Of you to grant it. Ser
geant Mazeroux shall leave
France. He can be charged by
the government with a secret mis-
sion in the south of Morocco, with
the rank of colonial Inspector"
Agreed said valenglay,
laughing heartily. And he added,
"My dear Project, once we depart
from the ) strictly lawful path,
there's no saying where we come
to. But the end justifies the
means; and the end which we
have in view is to have done with
this loathsome Mornington case. -
"This evening everything will
be settled, said Don Luis.
II hope 80. Our men are on the
track"
"They are on the track, but
they have to check that track at
every town, at every village, by
inquiries made of every peasant

RED CROSS MINSTRELS
The Rich Hill Amateurs Made Big
Hit at the Butler Opera House
Thursday Night.

One OF the most enjoyable enter
tainments given at the Fisk Opera
House in many day was the Red
Cross minstrels, Thursday night.
! The show, which was for the benefit
OF the County Red Cross, was given
by the best amateur talent of Rich
| Hill, and everyone who has had the
pleasure of seeing the Rich Hill
| bunch behind the footlights, know
that it was good. The tickets were
placed on sale Monday morning and
long before the hour for the curtain
to raise, Manager Fisk hung out the
standing Room Only sign.
The show began with the customary
minstrel opening, except that it was
much superior to the usual minstrel.
The jokes by the blackface come dams
were good and the musical numbers
took the house by storm.
At the close of the first part there
were spccaltles OF singing, dancing,
chorus OF pretty girls, Two or three
little skits, followed by a twenty min
ute sketch called An Unexpected Re
turn which told the troubles OF Il
couple of married men who told their
wives that they were going to take
an ocean voyage for their health.
The ship on which they are sup
posed to be is reported as sunk and
the wives 20 into mourning. The
husbands. not knowing OF the sup
posed sinking OF the ship, return
home to find their better halves in
tears. About the time that they make
satisfactory explanations OF how
they escaped from the sinking vessel
news comes that it was all mistake.
The ship had not been sunk, and all
explanations were in vain. They had
10 admit that they had been out for
a time.
d The Angel of Mercy" an allegory
depicting the Red Cross in triumph
over Power, Ambition, Greed. Jeal
ousy, Woe and Ruin, was one of the
most beautiful spectacles ever shown
in Butler.
The company, about 60 strong, ar
rived on the 100 o'clock train and
had dinner at the Cottage hotel.
They spent the afternoon in rehears-
ing and were served supper at the
Inn.
After the performance the visitors
were treated to lunch by the But
Ter Red Cross at their rooms in the
Opera House block. Sandwiches and
coffee were served After the lunch
they were escorted to the Elks club
rooms. where an informal dance was
held and where the young folks spent
the time until the $3.50 train Friday
when they returned to Rich
Hill. a tired. but happy crowd.

STILL TANGLED OVER TAKES
State Bodies Cannot Agree on I
Proper Valuation.

Jefferson City, March At ap-
pears the state board of equalization
and the state tax commission are get
ting in bad tangle over adjusting
taxes for this year. For weeks past
appearances have indicated Governor
Gardner and the tax commission con-
stitute one force and three, if not
four of the members of the state
board OF equalization constitute an
other The governor wants the work
OF the tax commission Endorsed. He
has said so a good many times.
The law gives the final power to
the state board of fixing values up
on which the tax will be levied The
governor is but one of five members
of the state board. There is even
talk of possible mandamus proceed
ings before the supreme court if the
board docs not indorsc the work of
the commission, but such a procedure
has not taken tangible form.
Governor Gardner is the only men,
Der OF the board OF equalization who
Will talk, save in very general terms.
The commission is not ready to sub
init its work to the board, for several
counties have not made any return,
and a dozen counties that have Made
returns have been called upon to corr
rect them.
From what can be learned, the pol
icy of a majority of the members of
the board will be to keep valuations
down to a point where no more rev.
enue will be collected Under existing
levies than will be required to meet
the current expenses of the state and
tn various counties and cities. If
that policy is carried out there will
be no occasion for the governor to
convene the legislature for the pur-
pose of reducing tax levies.
