PART SIX.

PART SIX.
The butler had hardly closed the
door behind him when Lady Hilda
was down on her knees at Holmes
feet, her hands outstretched, her beau
tiful face upturned and wet with her
tears.
"Oh, spare me. Mr.. Holmes! Spare
mel" she pleaded, in a frenzy of sup
plication. For heavens sake, don't
tell him! love him so! ] would

this 7 know would break his noble

Holmes raised the lady. Il am
thankful, madam. that YOU have come

ment! There is not an instant to lose
Where is the letter."
She darteG across to a writingdesk,
unlocked it, and drew out long blue
envelope.
Here it is Mr.. Holmes. Would
to heaven I had never seen it,"
"How can we return it," Holmes
muttered. Quick. quick, we must
think of some way! Where is the dis
patch box"
Still in his bedroom
What stroke of luck! Quick
madam, bring it here!'
A moment later she had appeared
with a red fat box in her hand.
"How did you open it before? You
have a duplicate key? Yes, of course
you have. Open it,
From out of her bosom Lady Hilda
had drawn a small key. The box few
open. 1t was stuffed with papers.
Holmes thrust the blue envelope deep
down into the heart of them, between
the leaves of some other document
The box was shut, locked, and re-
turned to the bedroom

Holmes. I'VE have still ten minutes
I am going far to screen you, Lady
Hilda. In return you will spend the
time in telling me frankly the real
meaning of this extraordinary affair
Mr. Holmes, will tell You every
thing" cried the lady. "Oh, Mr.
Holmes, l would cut off my right hand

Prof. A. r. Hatton to Speak

Prof. A. R. Hatton of Western Reserve uni
versty is an acknowledged authority on NUM-
cipal government in the United States. He has
studied the operations Of various systems and is
qualified to make comparison and to draw con-
illusions.
His address next Monday evening should be
heard by every one who is interested in the pro-
posed change in the government of Richmond,
for Prof. Hatton will present an impartial expo
sition of the topic.
Doubts about the merits of the city manager
plan will vanish before lucid presentation of its
merits and it's accomplishments elsewhere. Vot-
ers will be supplied with facts to guide their
judgment in accepting the proposal of substitute
ing the city manager system for the federal plan,
under which our city is operating.
Prof. Hatton is worth hearing at any time,
but especially so now when our municipal govern
ment is receiving close attention.

eyes

L, it without confessing my guilt to my

The European secretary burst ex-
citedly into the room.

he cried.
II have some hopes

came radiant. The Prime Minister is
I lunching with me. May he share your

, you in a few minutes in the dining
room"
The Prime Minister'S manner was
subdued but could see by the gleani
of his eyes and the twitching of his
bony hands that he shared the excite
ment of his young colleague.
Il understand that you have some
thing to report. Mr. Holiness"

The Plight of the Disabled Service Men

The Plight Of the Disabled Service Men
The action which Richmond lodge Of Elks
No. 649 took few nights ago to obtain an expe-
ditious enactment of legislation which will give
quick relief to disabled service men, again calls
attention to the highly dilatory methods still in
vogue.
DR.. George Hunt, in statement before men,
bers of the order, said that he had that day re-
ceved telegram from Representative Elliott
asking for certain affidavts in the case of dis
abled soldier of Richmond who had applied for
his compensation last June. These papers had
been forwarded to Washington last June by DR..
Hunt, but seemingly had been lost by some bu-
reau. In the meantime the young man, who was
severely gassed in France, is trying to make his
living by working at odd jobs.
Why this delay? Why should our former
soldiers, who bear the marks of warfare in
broken health and crippled limbs, be forced to
beg piteously for help, when by every dictate OF
right and justice they entitled to every COM
FORT bodily and mental, that this government
can buy?
Why should young veteran of this county,
with shrapnel wound in his knee, that ultimately
caused amputation of his Leg be forced to accept
a miserable compensation of So monthly, because
some bureau clerk in Washington decided that
his disability would be covered by that amount
Why should not local boards decide the amount
of disability and compensation?
The treatment of disabled service men
is one of the dsgraces of the World war, COM
parable to the canned beef scandal of the
Spanish-American war. No member of the
American legion can be condemned for denounc-
ing it in the most vehement language and for
insisting that remedial legislation be enated at
once

His parents were what is popularity
known as "high-brow,' but they also
were good sports. So when he sug
gested taking them to a restaurant
in the market district of Boston, they
agreed. The mothers exquisite clothes
stamped her as a society woman. but
democracy reigns supreme at Durgin
& Parks's. They sat down at the
table. The waiter handed the mother
menu and then leaned confidently
forward over the back of the chair
and said

news?"

The Salvation Army and Service Men

The Salvation Army won an abiding place in
the hearts of our soldiers during the World war
"a feeling of love and admiration which they
brought home with them from France. Former
service men will fight for the Salvation Army to
reciprocate the many acts of kindness which they
received overseas.
The admiration of the former soldiers for the
Salvation Army has been increased by the I'M
stinted devotion which it's officers have shown
for disabled veterans and their families since the
rehabilitation of the American Expedtionary
forces.
Many a crippled soldier, with broken health
and empty purse, who has waited vanly for his
compensation from our government, has been
maintained by the benevolence of the Salvation
Army, some in our own community, too.
Many a disabled soldiers family in need of
food, clothing, shelter, and medicine, has &C
copied with grateful heart the gifts Of love
extended by the Salvation Army. In fairness to
the local branch of the Red Cross, it must be
said, on authority of legion officers that it also
has performed valuable service.
If others have forgotten the service man,
the Salvation Army never has lost sight of him.
If the government has been almost criminally
negligent in the delay characterizing it's relief
work, the Salvation Army, unfettered by red
tape and bureaucratic officialdom, has extended
aid first and asked questions later.
Is there any wonder that the former service
men are back of the movement to raise funds in
Wayne county to finance the work of the Saliva
ton Army?
Haven't they seen with their own eyes the
Christ working through the Salvation Army in
relieving distress and extending cheer to the
weary and heavy laden?
The financial campaign of the Salvation
Army has not only the endorsement, but also
the cooperation, of the service men of this city.
The money needed to replenish the treasury so
that the Salvation Army can keep on with its
work of caring for needy, disabled soldiers, for
hungry children, for sick women, for the fallen
and disgraced, will be forthcoming next Thurs
day.
All Richmond will contribute for the cause

HUNTING WITH BIRDLIME.
Used for Trapping Wild Animals and
Birds i'm the Far East.

A favorite native METH of hunting
is with birdlime, which is a mucilage
made from the gum of a tree. In catch
ing tigers. or ~leopards, the hunter
spreads out the birdlime where they
viii pass and carefully covers it with
leaves. Immediately after a cat animal
has put his foot in the stuff he becomes
so enraged and helpless that he is cas-
lily captured. 1t is very much like put
ting butter on a house cats paws to
keep him busy until he becomes accus-
toned to a new home.
The tiger or leopard that steps in bird
lime doesn't step gracefully out of it
and run awas,; he tries to bite the stuff
from his feet and then he gets it on
his face, When he tries to u it oil
when he is thoroughly covered with it,
he is so helpless that without much
danger he can be put into a cage; and
there he spends weeks in working pa
tiently to remove the gum from his fur.
Birds and monkeys are captured in bird
lime smeared on the limbs of trees; they
stay in it until some one goes Up and
pulls them out. Asia Magazine.
