Darkness had fallen upon Rotterdam and
tho lights from the houses made yellow
streaks In the water of the canal as the car,
piloted by Robin, drove the party to Mary
Trevert's hotel. They found the GIRL pale
and anxious, in the lounge.
1Weu, now" cried the doctor breezily.
and how are you feeling? Did you take my
advice and have some tea?"
what has happened?" asked the girl, /
have been 80 anxious about you"
Her words were addressed to the doctor
but she looked at Robin.
MARY said Robin, we are very near
the truth now. But there is one thing you
can tell us. 1t Is very important. When you
heard the shot In the library at Harkings. did
you notice any other sound-before or
after7"
The girl paused to think.
There was sort of sharp cry and thud."
:" I know. But was there anything else?
Do try and remember. It's so important"
Tho girl was silent for = moment. Then
she said. slowly:
Eyes, there was now come to think Of
It Just as tried the dooa~-it was locked,
you hnow--there was sort Of hiss harsh
and rather loud. from the room. :"
"A sort Of hisa, ehf Something like a
neezs7~
Yes. Only louder and hnrsher."
"Now. answer mo carefully. Was this
before or after tho shot7"
"oh. before! Just as was ratt1ng the
door handle. The shot broke in upon It,"
II. Robin turned 10 Herr Schuh who stood
with grave face BY his side.
-The silenoer, you sec, sirl " be saM. Then.
10 Mary, he added:
MARY, we are going of now. But wo WIN
be back within the hour end"
"oh. Robinr' the girl broke In. don't
leave me alone. 1 don't feel safe in this
place after this morning. I'd much rather
come with you"
MARY, IT'S quite impossible Robin began.
But the girl had turned to table and
taken from 1t her hat and fur.
"I don't care" she exclaimed, wilfully.
I'm coming anyhow. I refuse to be left
behind"
She smiled at Herr Schulz as she spoke
and that gentlemans rather grim face re-
laxed as he hooked at her
I'm not sure wouldn't say the same."
he remarked.
The upshot OF It was that. despite Robins
objections, Mary Trevert accompanied the
party. She sat on the back seat, rather
flushed and excited, between Herr Schulz and
the doctor while Robin took the wheel again. A
few minutes drive took them to the big hotel
where Robin had booked a room. They all
waited in the car whilst he went to the office.
He was back In minute. an open telegram
IN his hand.
Il believe I've got It IN my pocket he
cried +" the actual weapon with which Hartley
Parrish was killed."
And he read from the telegram.

Parrish's cheque."
The message was signed "Manderton-

HOSPITALITY OF NEIGHBORS
 APPRECIATED

The over two hundred Cordovans who journ- eyed to the interior on the baseball excursion certainly appreciate the hospitality extended them by the residents of both kennccott and Mccarthy. There was nothing left undonr that would in any way add to the pleasure of the trip and our people returned home with only the kindIidst feeling towards our neighbors and friends whose one thought seemed to be to do all in their power for the comfort and enter tainmcnt of their visitors And in this they succeeded most admirably.
 An exchange of visits between the residents of the different Alaskan towns promotes a bet ter feeling all around and in this particular in stance gave Cordovms an opportunity to get in closer touch with the interior residents. They proved themselves royal entertainers and We hope to have au opportunity of cNtrnd- ing to them the same fine treatment when they come here on Labor Day.

NEW PRISON PENSION LAW

bill drafted and rathcrcd by Judge Henry Neil of HinsdaIe H., father of the mothers pension system, has just been passed by the lower house of the Illinois legislature and is on final passage without opposition in the upper house.
 It will no doubt be enacted and be in opera tion soon.
 It provides pensions for mothers of depend cnt children when the father is imprisoned for a year or more.
 This law authorized the juvenile courts to pay such mothers $35 month for the first child and $15 a month for each additional child under fourteen years of age.
 A special tax of four tenths of one mill is to be levied on all property to provide a mothers pension fund, out of which the prison pension and the regular mothers pensions are to be paid.
 This fund in Cook county (incuding Chicago) will amount to $750000 year.
 The sins of the father should not be visited on the innocent children, or they, too, are pretty likely to be led into sin. Illinois is doing the right thng-helping little children and making it less likely that they will become criminals later on.

horseshoe nails were given to an agent
of King George y as rent in kind
for small plot Of land in the Strand
where forge originally stood and an
other piece of land in Shropshire. The
Kings Remembrance received the
rent on behalf of the Crown.
In the year 1885, a tournament was
being held in a field where the Law

A smith repaired it so we'll that the
King gave him the right to erect d

annual rent should be six hOrseshOes

The rent has been so paid every
year down to the present one.

King" based on the great stage sue
cess and novel by Justin Huntly Nc
Carthy, unconsciously uses his hat to
show his feelings during the making
of picture.
This was particularly true while he
was directing the big and enacting
scenes of IF | Were King" which is
being shown at the Richmond theater.
Those who watched Mr.. Edwards
knew that if he pulled his soft hat to
a rakish angle toward the left side,
he was pleased with the scene. but ii
that hat came down toward the right
side there was trouble in the air;
while if he pulled the hat straight
down over his eyes it was time to get
an excuse ready or hide behind the
scenes.
When the Fox director is off the
stage the hat is always pulled down
toward the left, for when he is not
working he is always a most genial
persona man ever ready to help his
fellow man along the winding roads
of life. He is a good companion and
a born story teller.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE

there have been some good bills in re-

Hank Brown and company. and
Howard and Ross, each fill a place on
the bill, with so much merit that one
cannot arbitrarily designate the head
liner
Suffering Hank Brown has the ease

withal, he lends a certain dignity to
his performance. Miss Norma Browne.

and otherwise aids the offering. Wit
fairly yibrates throughout the piece.
Howard and Ross appear in "a Mus

trick banjo playing is capitalized. Fol
lowing a brilliant exhibition of banjo
playing and juggling in one, the special
setting is utilized to good effect dur
ing the playing and singing of CLASH
