THE VlRTUOSO By Edmund Vance Cooke

My wand waves over the five fraiI strings
 And the tempest bursts my wearied eara And again and again my fiddle sings
 And again the multitude densely cheers And it seems to me have done these things
 To the same dull crowd for thousand years stand on the peak and the world applauds.
 l long have passed the Parnassan slope. l am one of the robed and mitred gods:
 am framed in the rim the telescope: And envy the younker who fights long odds
 And whose every morning is fresh with hone o, give me the day when the path was hard
 And the hills were lost in the distant blue When hands were willing and hearts unscarred
 And friends seemed many because so few Ana the long task brought us the ripe reward

 MT. Bakers letter dealt with the military records and war service of General Tasl1er H. Bliss and Major Generals Hugh L. Scott and John Bid dle, predecessors of General Peyton C. March in the office of the chief Of staff The secretary denied emphatic ally Gailivan's statement that these of ficers had been removed for ineffi- ciency and said he made the letter pub lie as the only means the officers as sailed had of such charges.
 The figures quoted showed the fol lowing distribution of D. s. Ms: Gen erals. 3; lieutenant generals, ?; major generals, 69; brigadier generals, F; colonels. 265; lieutenant colonels, 7S: majors.

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
Another Suggestion

To the Editor of The Republican.
 Sir: It can't be done; s30,00O mile will not go into S4,OO0000 2S5 miles times One hundred and fifty miles of good cement roads might be built for s4,000.000; so. on this road matter, let's be safe, sane and reasonable The whole scheme of paved county high ways, as voted on by the people, must be revised. because it cannot all be built with the money voted. There is way, provided that Governor Camp bell, in the call he is about to issue for an extra session, would allow the county highway bill to be amended The amendment would propose would be: Provided that where any money has been voted by any county or here after may be voted by any county, and at any time before the money has been expended for the purpose for which i: is voted. the said supervisors of the said county may call an election to vote on a new plan of county highway sys- tenn approved by the county highway commissioners"
 If an amendment of this kind were passed. it would be up to the people to readjust the highway plans in Mari : copa county and say what roads should be built. instead of the state highway commission. !. c. GOODWIN. ,

I Am ParaIyzed by the Sight of Mur-
 dered Woman
 "A ghost? What are you talking about, Jane?" Bob held me tight and looked sharply into my face.
 There, The murdered woman! Stretched in the moonlight! See! Her throat. HorribleI HorribleI" l moaned.
 Jane Lorimer. Whats the matter with you?" Bob's arms hurt me. There isn't any ghost! There isn't any smoke I tell you, Only a smear oI moonlight on the dusty floor."
 By that time I was too frightened to speak The thing which I saw with my two wide eyas had taken shape from a waving cloud of smoke It was the elegant figure of regal woman. Her trained and clinging gown made a graceful curve in the light of the moon. My eyes were held to that shape. 1 saw it emerge from that smoke and round itself from the flatness of the floor. The features of the face grew clear-and clearer. They were exactly those of the only woman I have ever detested. I seemed to be gazing on the fine profile of that dreadful rival of mine-the girl with the tawny tresses. l. About the slender white throat of the figure was a dark and jagged line; apon the breast, a dark stain.
 I was shaking with terror. I was cold to the bone.
 "Janei Speak to mel" demanded my husband.
 I couldn't move my lips. I couldn't turn my head, although I longed to hide my face on his breast and so shut the horror out. I was stiff as one of the dead. Hand nor foot, could not move. I was conscious that I was paralyzed-and quite unable to over come my condition.
 Bob shook me-and shook me again Then he kissed me, but I scarcely heard his voice or felt his lips.
 Suddenly he stopped and picked up the electric flash by the light of which he had made the fuse. Without a word Of warning, he turned the glare of it squarely into my eyes. It hurt them. l closed them, shuddered in my bus bands arms, caught my breath in short hard gasps as a child does after terrible fit of sobbing, and then my knees gave way beneath me.
 When I came out of my swoom, Bob was holding me in his arms and trying

 You certainly were. my love" Bon replied. wen get back to our own room before we talk any more. Can you sit up while I dispose of the litter I've made? And can you remember, if you ever need to, just where I'vc hidden the end of the fuse which will blow all this ammunition to the stars2'
 Bob gave me further instructions about taking care of myself in case ever had to light the fuse, as W" walked back to the attic. As we might have expected, we met that mysterious and magnificent lady. the houselIoeper in the hall near our room.
 
 This is the brief form of the question she whispered with elaborate Mexican politeness.
 T saw nothing at all. Donna Camil la" Bob replied. A queer smile which was almost sheer spoiled the dame's aristocratic features
 The signora is white, Some wine Q asked Donna Camilla.
 No. thank you. Mrs. Lorimer is only very tired. It is late. She will be all right as soon as she has had some sleep. Thank you. Donna Camilla Bob made his best bow. I thought he was overriding his politeness a little. wondered why. As soon we were alone. he explained i2 his own way: Jane, were you ever hypnotized2 Ever in your life? For a joke? Or perhaps to cure a headache? Or may be when a tooth was extracted? Think before you answer, darling" Gro Be Continued.)
