FLEMING STONES THEORY.

Alone in the library. Fleming Stone
and Detective Hardy were in counsel
I'm going to show you this thing
as I Q it, Mr.. Hardy" said Stone,
II frankly admit it's all theory, ]
haven't a particle Of human testimony
to back II, but 1t seems to me the only
solution that will fit all points Of the
mystery. And I shall ask you to con
slider, It confidential Tor the present,
until I can corroborate 1t by unmis,
taxable proofs" y
Hardy nodded assent, his eyes fixed
on the speaker in a sort of fascination,
This young detective had not been
at all idle of late, but his work had
amounted to nothing definite, and
though he was himself convinced that
Pauline Stuart was responsible for her
aunt's death, he seldom exploited that
view before Stone, having learned that
1t was an unwelcome subject. u.
Here's the theory in a very small
nutshell" said Stone, "but remember,
you're not to mention 1t to anyone I'm.
til l give you permission. Miss Lucy
Darlington took that powder, thinking
it a drug that would make her beauti'
full"
"A charm7 a philter?" Hardy's eyes
seemed to bulge In his excitement.
I'm not sure whether 1t was a fake
magic affair, say, from a clairvoyant or
fortune teller, or whether it was a
plain swindle from a beauty doctor OF
something Of that sort. You know
such people play on the credulity OF
rich patrons and get enormous sums
and a promise OF secrecy for a Sc
called beauty producer"
But why would the beauty doctor
or the clairvoyant person give a pa
tient p~oison?"
"They didn't. They gave a harmless
powder, and some evil minded person
added the aconite, secretly, knowing
Of the beauty scheme"
who did it,"
That's yet to be discovered, but II
will be easier il we can trace the one
who sold her the nostrum. Now, lis
ten while / reconstruct the scene
Miss Darlington, having dismissed heI
maid, goes to her bathroom and takes
the powder, dissolved in water. These
powder papers, which I found in hel
bathroom waste basket, carry out tina,
idea"
Hardy stared at the papers, but die
not interrupt the speaker.
Then, joyfully waiting the effect o.
the charm, she sits In front of thu
mirror to watch her features become
beautiful. This is why she said to hel
own reflection, Tomorrow l shall b.
freed forever from this homely face!
She gazed at the picture Of Cleopatra
above her dressing table, and said
Yours Is the most beautiful face
have ever seen. I wish mine were a.
beautiful The remarks ~concernini
Count Charlier were addressed to thu

Messrs. Geo. E. Streve of Taylor.

Messrs. Geo. E. Streve Of Taylor
vile, Illinois, and ]. B. Walker OF
Pana, Illinois, were visitors to Ten
sas parish this week and while here
purchased Argyle" plantation. OF
1870 acres, located five miles west
of Waterproof. Argyle" is one OF
the many neglected plantations in
this parish, and while there are 900
acres Of this tract cleared, only
shout POO acres are now under the
plow. -.
Mr.. Strevey is the head of one OF
the strongest land companies in Ill
inois, and the fact that he has pur-
chased this plantation assures the
people of this parish that they can
expect a large immigration OF Hi
nois people this fall and we under
stand this company has options on
about 50, 900 acres here.
''There is no doubt but that every
acre of this land will be double IN
value in less than three years, said
Mr.. Strevey, as there is no land
in the United States to-day offered
to the public at prices double those
asked in this parish, taking into
consideration the quality OF the soil,
etc.
Il have been buying and selling
land for Is years; have handled
land in every State in the Union.
and think that for quick profit
in values and large rentals, Tensas
parish is now the best place in the
country to buy land. Similar lands
in the Delta of Mississippi to-day
are selling for $50 per acre, and l
see no reason why Tensas lands
should should not sell for that price
in less than 5 years."
Messrs. Strevey and Walker ex-
pect to put a tractor to work in less
than 80 days and break up all OF
Argyle" which will be put into
peas and corn.

I was attending Northern col.
lege when Abraham Lincoln was
elected President of the United
States in November, 1850. While
up to that time the Southern boys
at the institution were held in high
est esteem by the people. it soor
became apparent there was a revul'
sion of feeling against them, and
not only them, but the same ami
mus seemed also to be directed

of public sentiment bad become ap

they had become aware Of its ex

manned at FIT. Casey about eight
months. July 31st they left for
Camp Mills and Philadelphia, taking
eight days for the trip across the
states. They were then sent to New
New York harbor, where they arrived
August 18th, 1918 and they remain
ed aboard ship one night and made
their departure for England, landing
at Bristol harbor, England for just

NEW SERVICE FLAG APPEARS

A new service flag has made it's ap-
pearance in the east AS the old
service flags are coming down anoth-
err is going up.
The new one is a mark of honor
for the business firms that formerly
had the first service flags out. The
one now in the windows of num-
Der of firms consists of the usual SER
vice flag background, but, instead OF
star representing a man gone to
war from the establishment, there is
a nacorn.
The acorn is of khaki and it rep
resents man back from the war and
also back on his job at the old place.
The first service flag was no special
honor for the eastblishment-it rep
resented merely the fact that men
had been taken from the places for
army service and it was a matter ov-
er which business firms themselves
had no control.
The new flag and acorn indicates
something for the firm-that il has
been square with the man who served
his country and has returned him to
the job he left. This promises to be
a real badge of honor and will prove
popular throughout the country by
the business firms who are on the
square with the men who left to fight
the battle for world betterment.
