sageway. Claire just then had come 1 into my room looking for me. She was puzzled by my absence, and the only solution that came to her WAS that must be in your rooms. Alarmed 1 at what she considered my fmpru- dence, she had slipped out into the hall, and seeing your door open, had Investigated. Of course she did rot find me, for had returned by way of the window ledge. She told me about it the night before she was married. I don't wonder, though. that you sus- pected her."
 T didn't suspect her," I cried. 'T | just wondered what she had been do ing there."
 That's right" said German. "He wouldn't believe for minute that she had had anything to do with it"
 But what puzzles me most" went on, lis how you ever persuaded tha l telephone girl to give Granders awav l It must have been done after she. hao given her first testimony. How did it happen that she changed so suddenly over to our sde?"
 As looked from one to the other for an explanation, German burst out laughing.
 You'll have to ask Miss Bradford
 I turned again to look at Barbara, expecting her to speak, but she merely I blushed and was silent
 ''Go oli, tell me- I urged her.

Modern Tanninn Inferior.

Commenting on an article by Robert c. Skerrett on the tanning of leather. the Scientific American says: The modern art of tanning falls short of the standards set in days gone by. It used to take two years 10 convert green hide into marketable leather: the modern tanner thinks that he Is doing well If he deyotes five months to the process. No chemical process has been developed of speeding up the process without detractlng from the Cnality of the product"

WORSE THAN LIGHTED CIGAR
Denverite, After Carefully lighting it. AbsentmindedIy Put the Fire
 cracker In His Mouth.

AS result of absent-mindedness t4 his Fourth of July celebrating, Osip Salonski, 32, of West Denver lost sew eral teeth and is carrying his face in a sling.
 Osip stood on the corner, smoking a cigaret and watching with interest the youngsters shoot off their explosives. Suddenly desire to be young, real young. once more assailed him, and, stalking up to nearby booth, be pur- chased a whole tistful of firecrackers. Stepping to the edge of the curb, he cautiously applied the end of his lighted cigaret to the fuse of one of the crackers. sputter and volley of little sparks announced that the noise was on the way. Then Osips mentali- ty failed to function properly. With a quick movement he slammed his cig- aret into the street and jfMmed the end of the firecraeker into his mouth A terrific crash, which disengaged three front teeth and bespeckled hi1 face with powder burns, brought OsiK to the conclusion that all was not just as 1t should be. He made q run for the nearest drug store, and he emerged few moments later rocking with the fumes of iodine and his face and neck swathed in bandages and he looked much like an accident that had gone somewhere to happen ands apparently, had been q success. - nauvnr Times

The game was fast and characterized

team scored y to their opponents 13.
Modes accurate shooting and headv

was especially effective on defence. He
guarded his man very closely and sue
o8eded in recovering under his own basket
and drIbbling down the floor for shots at
the opponents basket.
Harvey Smith played the best game
that he has played this season and netted
5 field goals. He was especially effective
under his own basket, from which po-
sition he scored repeatedly from high
passes and from recovery Of long shots
Chambers played his first game with the
regulars and proved himself very capable
and reliable Bradford, who replaced him
in the second half, played his usual good
game at guard Captain Smith played
consistently throughout the game. His
work was especially good in the second
half when he intercepted passes from the
opposing guards and scored from near the
middle of the floor.
The st. Luke's team had two men Of
exceptional ability, Gonzalez and Mar
tinez. These veterans are clever shots
and are very good floor men. Gonzalez

SALES|ANUM FIVE
BEATS DELAWARE
Interesting Basketball Game Won
by Local Boys by Score of ~ to
10; Scrubs Also Win.

In hotly contested game the fast
going Saleslanum basketball quintet met
and defeated the strong Delaware College
Freshman team here last evening by
the score Of ~ TO 16. Both teams played
exceptionally well and although quite a
number of fouls were called, the contest
was clean and exciting throughout.
The young college men put up a stellar
game as a whole and must be given credit
for the splendid showing they exhibited
on a strange floor. Jackson starred for
them, not only iu that he scored half
their points alone, but also because of
his all around floor work.
A notable feature of the game was that
Quinn, the local forward who generally
scores the majority of his team mates
points, was held down somewhat last
night by the great defensive work of
McGovcrn, manager OF the Freshles.
Walsh and Ryczek were the lumlnaries
for the Gold and White FIVE, the former
dropping IN nine from the Is foot mark,
besides two field goals, while the latter
shot two from the middle of the floor and
another from beneath the net
Lowell and Seery played their positions
well, especially in the second half, when
they allowed their opponents but one
field goal. The first half ended II 20 10
in favor of the West Eighth street boys
