I tuesday, Nights
Fire Hot One
Photo Studio and Restaurant
Scene of a Blaze Early
Tuesday Morning.

The fire which got the people of
Langdon out of their beds at three
O'Clock Tuesday morning was the
second alarm of the kind that the
people of Langdon had experienced
in the short space of less than
twelve hours and for that matter can
be shown as third event CT the kind
to occur within three days.
The Tuesday morning fire, which
for the present at least has put the
Opie photograph studio and the La
Caille restaurant both out of busi-
ness, has also left the property on
which they stood a wrecked smoke
blackened ruin.
The fire started in the kitchen of
the restraint, possibly the range hav-
ing set fire to the board partition
wall. 1t was first discovered when
the flames as they gained headway
reflected bright light on the win
dows of the bed rooms of Walter
Ramage, j. L. Bryson and others
rooming over the Void jewelry store.
The alarm was given by Walter
Ramage, who took his car from the
garage next door, and after ringing
the bell had the steam fire whistle
blown, his car also bringing the hose
cart to the scene of the fire in RECORD
time. 1t was no doubt this fin.
piece of work that enabled the fire
men to hold the fire in the building
where it started.
The loss both in the Photographic
studio and the restaurant as we'll a.
on the building, which is owned b,
Mrs. Opie, is only partially covered
by insurance, but the statement i
made that both the Opie studio an
| the restaurant, which is operated b.
/ Mr.. Belanger, are looking for ne,
I locations and will reopen for busines
as coon as possible.

.LANGDON CLERGY ARE LIVE
COMMUNITY BOOSTERS

The clergy of Langdon all showed
the proper amount of community
spirit in the making of our mid-win-
ter fair the big success it was. At
almost every session of the conven-
tion Rev. Langdon was on hand to
lead in the community singing, with
Mesdames, Balm, Price, Smith and
and Langdon alternating as accom-.
panists. This singing was a popular
feature at both the mems and wo-
mems sessions of the convention. At
the Tuesday evening joint session
every one of the packed audience
subscribed to the unanimous verdict
that Father Corry's tribute to George
Washington was one the best efforts
yet by one who has become widely
known for his patriotic fervor and
eloquence. At the banquet on Thurs
day evening many of the men here at
the fair and convention saw ano
heard Rev. Faucette for the first
time. Their impress could not other
than be favorable as the speake,
is always at his best when his talk is
on the boys of today who will be the
men Of tomorrow. When it comes to
community welfare from any angle
you want the clergy of Langdon are
there with willing response-ane
last weeks farmers convention ant

March Came In Like a Lamb

Tuesdays weather may be taken as
indicating that the coming in of the
month of March was quite lamblike,
which if the old saying makes good
would indicate that the exit of the
month would be on the reverse order
and bear strong resemblance to
roaring lion. And there are divers
occasions on which the old saying has
proven it to be correct.

At the township annual election to
be held one week from next Tuesday
March 18th, the election officers of
the precincts have been directed by
the board of county commissioners
to take an unofficial or straw
vote on election day as to whether
or not they approve of the securing
of county agent for the demonstra
tion Of work as being outlined by the
better farming movement. The
county board found when the matter
came up to be talked over at the
comfy fair that the sentiment ap-
peared to be pretty evenly divided
as to the appointment of county
agent this season. The straw vote is
is for the purpose of giving the pso-
plea chance to say for themselves
exactly what is their wish in the
matter and the. faction of the board
will be governed thereby. In the
past the value Of having county
farming agent located here has been
shown on q number of occasions in
years past. 1t should be borne in
mind that the department at Wash
ington bears half the salary expense

Holmes had taken several notes dur
ing Mr.. Harding's evidence, and
could see that he was thoroughly salts
fed by the turn which affairs we're
taking. He made no remark, however,
save that, unless we hurried, We
should be late for our appointment

We reached Baker Street the detective
was already there, and we found him

I'VE have an inspector who makes
a specially of Saffron Hill and the
Italian Quarter. Well, this dead man
had some Catholic emblem round his
neck, and that, along with his color
made me think he was from the South
! Inspector Hill knew him the moment
he caught sight of him. His name is
| Pietro Venucci, from Naples, and he
is one of the greatest cut-throats in
! London. He is connected with the
Malta, which, as you know, is a secret
! political society, enforcing its DEGREES
by murder. Now, you see how the
affair begins to clear UP. The other
fellow is probably an Italian also, and
a member of the Malta. He has broken
the rules in some fashion. Pietro is
set upon his track. Probably the
photograph we found in his pocket is
the man himself, so that he may moi
knife the wrong person. He dogs the
fellow, he sees him enter a house, he
waits outside for him. and in the
scuffle he receives his own death
wound. How is that, Mr.. Sherlock

Lestrade whispered.
But before we could move the man
had emerged again. AS he came out
into the glimmering patch of light, we
saw that he carried something white
under his arm. He looked stealthily
all round him. The silence of the
deserted street treasured him. Turn
ing his back upon us he laid down
his burden, and the next instant there
was the sound of a sharp tap, fol-
lowed by a clatter and rattle. The
/ man was so intent upon what he was
doing that he never heard our steps
as we stole across the grass plot. With
the bound of a tiger Holmes was on
his back, and an instant later Lestrade
and l had him by either wrist. and
the handouts had been fastened. AS
we turned him over l saw hideous,

features, glazing up at US, and l knew

photograph whom We had secured.

this grotesque criminal to make an
attempt upon the two remaining busts,
one of which, remembered, was at

grounds. In the light of street lamp
