BY GRANT M. OVERTON.

by GNAN1 M. Wv Elk L ON.
IT must have been with chuckle Of
l. satisfaction that George H. Doran
and his generalissimo, Eugene F. Saxton,
signed contracts 10 pukisA The Mystery
of Hartley House and The Room With
The TdSsels, by Clifford S. Raymond and
Carolyn Wells respectively. For pub
fishers are always glad to get good mys-
terry stories and there is no doubt what
ever as 10 the excellence Of these. Mr..
Raymond's story had serial publication,
but The Room With the Tossels seems not
to have had. This must be simply hap
penstance. Unlike as the yarns are, both
TEEN with thrills. But perhaps the serial
publication of Carolyn Weiss story
would have been physically injurious to
more than one reader. Where there is so
much horror the suspense of instalments
would be almost insupportable.
Both books are exciting and both should
De read; but Mr. Raymond's had better be
read first. 1t can be absorbed in several
sittings. The Room With the Tassels is
a book for single sitting, or midnight
seanee. Better read it aloud, or at least
have some one around.
Haunted Lives.
In The Mystery Of Hartley House it is
not the house that is haunted, but the
lives Of the people in it. There is, in
deed, as the publishers note suggests,
some tyranny from the past which hangs
like an inky cloud over the three or four
people of the story. In Hartley House
lives Mr.. Homer Sidney, an old, old man
Of the most wonderful benignancy and
agreeable companionship. To exercise a
watehful care over him young DIR. Michel
son comes to live there. The other per
sons of the household are Mrs. Sidney,
Miss Sidney, the daughter, and servant
of long standing, Jed Arliss.
Near the house is haunted pool, the
scene of the murder of one brother by
another brother years before. These
DobSon brothers were the sons of the fam
lily 10 whom Hartley House had belonged
for generations. Not far from the house
is the penitentiary in which the murderer,
now a feeble and childish old man, is con-
fined.
The first part of the book is purely
episode. DR.. Nicholson tells the story and
has for a while nothing more to relate
than a disjointed series of puzzling, oc-
currenees, some alarming and suggestive
of personal danger, some limiting at the
family secret.
An Intricate Revelation.
Mr.. Raymond does indeed introduce into
his narrative a considerable false clue
which will throw the reader effectively off
the scent in four cases out Of five. He is
absolutely justified in this expedient since
The sun., 1918-10-13

ment, which can have only one outcome,
The disclosure of Homer Sidney's secret.
This disclosure is managed with great
skill and with FEASIBILITY and dra-
matte quality in the highest sense satisfac-
tory to the reader. But we should net do
Mr.. Raymond justice if we did not men
ton and praise the remarkable character
he has drawn in the servant Jed Arliss.
The man is engrossing, quite without re-
speet to the action of the story in which
he plays so important part. Dr. Michel
son is also well drawn; especially good is
the attitude of Jed toward the young
doctors moral ideas. There is a love
story, but Mr.. Raymond appreciates the
impossibility of making it compete in in
terest with the main mystery. He uses it
cleverly to end the story on a pleasant
note. The portrait Of the bla, Gmailing
Morgan and the account Of how DR.. Mich
elson's severe morality cost the Sidney
family heavily in dollars Ia tremendous
vindieation of the immoral jedi are most
capitally done.
The Room With the Tassels."
Coming TO Carolyn Weiss story from
The Mystery Of Hartley House the reader
may find the opening chapter almost in
sipid. 1t is a chatting conversation among
number of persons who believe or dis
believe, variously, in ghosts. The hulnor
isn't entirely convincing either. The up
shot of a general dispute is an agreement
TO get hold of house warranted haunted
and spend month in it. The month is
apparently to be a serious test of the ex-
istence of spooks-on the part of most
of the party-and an enjoyable vacation
to boot.
The house is found, a magnificent old

The Kitchen In Wcr Time.

The private kitchen has got to 90.
1t is scarcely Possible to doubt that
now. With gas and fuel at their pres.
ent prices, and likely to mount stead
fly higher, the great majority, as winter
advances, will certainly be driven to
living In one room. The economy ef
fected by that simple measure will be
enormous, and it entails no very Sc
rious hardship, given satisfactory ar
rangement Of the cooking problem.
That problem could be practically
solved tomorrow by the voluntary sur
render, even in very limited degree.
Of the domestic isolation in which the
British family lives. If every two
households agree to dine together only,
1t would be more than half solved. 1t
is a matter in which the merits Of
voluntary system over any compulsory
arrangement are more obvious even
than usual. But If the public contin-
ues to set it's face obstinately against
1t, the compulsion will certainly come.

TWO LARGE AUDIENCES ENJOY
RENDITION OF VALLEY FARM
LAST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

Two large audiences enjoyed the
production of "Valley Farm" by Sauk
Centre home talent directed by Mrs
Leora Showalter at the Caughrer
theatre Thursday and Friday even
ing of last week under the auspices
of and for the benefit of the Sank
Centre Home Guards.
This splendid story of rural Yankee
life was simply and beautifully por-
trayed by cast largely made up of
novices in the theatrical game, but
under the masterful coaching of Mrs.
Showalter made the most of their OPP
portunities.
The specialities by eight of the
towns charming young girls between
acts were as enjoyable as they were
dainty and graceful. RAIDERS or
chestra furnished high class music
both evenings.
The people of Sank Centre have
ever shown a willingness to respond
to the material assistance of the
Home Guards always certain that
they would be well entertained for
their trouble and the production of
valley Farm" was no exception to
the rule. The Guards will net about
$3.50 on the venture. >.'

of this week puts Sank Centre on an
other highway that should be Of ma
terial value to the city in the future.
This highway runs from Itasca

The new highway is all state road

Chairman-Asa M. Wallace.
Vice Chairman-Mrs. W. o. P.

Treasurer-L. L. Kells.
Relief for the fire sufferers Of
Northern Minnesota was discussed,
unanimous opinion being that the
Sank Centre branch of the Red Cross,
should take immediate steps for con-
tributing relief to the needy ones
through the proper channels.
Just how far the committee ought
to go in using funds raised by the
people of this community primarily
for war purposes was serious prob
lem. In view of the fact that there
is about $4,000 in the hands of the
local treasurer at the present time it
was decided after a full discussion
to transfer $500 from this war fund
to the civilian relief fund and ap-
propriate the $500 from the relief fund
for the relief of the fire sufferers Of
the northern part of the state.

in touch with the Northern Division

Northern Minnesota
Devastated by Fire

rendered an opinion Wednesday that
county commissioners could approp-
rate funds for the relief of their
stricken neighbors.
Hundreds of Home Guards are on
the ground patroling the burned dis
trict under the personal direction of
Adjt. Gen. Rhinow.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but there is a persistent rumor that
it was of incendiary origin. Authori-
ties are carefully running down what
appear to be clews and should this
prove to be the case the guilty ones
will receive summary treatment by
an outraged public.
Members of searching parties re-
port great difficulty in penetrating
the fire-swept district. The winds
blew many trees across the roadways
blocking travel.
The survivors are dazed and have
suffered untold hardships from ex-
posture and hunger. The total death
list will undoubtedly pass the 1000
mark; as the devasted district covers
a large and increasing area. The
largest number of deaths in any one
community was probably Moose Lake
where 1913 bodies had been accounted
for up to Tuesday. The CHASTITY toll in
the .morgues up to Tuesday was as
follows: Duluth, 200; Moose Lake,
1913; Aitkin, AZ; Harvey, SO; Carlton,

A COUPLE OF TOUGH NUTS.

A couple Of young "coons" were
picked up in Sank &c l:ce several days
ago on information received from
Cass Lake charging ther: with having
bLrglarized a grocery store. Chief
of police Miller searched The dalkies
who were only about Ii years Of age
and found a quantity of candy. gum
and about SIS in money. He prompt
ly lodged them in Jail. Later they
escaped but were picked UP near Mel
rose and brought back. The sheriff
of Cass county came down after them
and they will no doubt have plenty of
time to mediate upon the rough and
uncertain road a desperate must
travel.
