II believe that it was undoubtedly

A flower-bed extended up to the

The flowers were trampled down, and
the soft soil was imprinted all over
with footmarks. Large, masculine

Answers toQuestions

BOY RFADFR.-Do the members Of
the ENGLISH government receive a sal
ary? For example, does the prime
minister get a salary; if so. how much
is he paid? What are the members of
the house Of commons paid? The
prime minister, as such, is not paid,
but he always takes a portfolio which
draws . salary. In the case of Lloyd
George. he is prime minister and first
lord of the treasury. His predecessor
Herbert Asuuith, was also first lord of
the treasury. but the prime minister
may. if he wishes, take any other port
folio. The salary attached to the vari
GUS portfolios is $4,000. or about $780,
600 of our money. The members of
the house of commons, until within
few years, were paid nothing for their
services. but now they have a salary
of G400 a year. about $4,000.
a STUDENT.-Please give me some
information about the modern Greek
language. Is it anything like the an
Gent Greek? - The modern Greek is
a dialect of the ancient Greeks, and the
literary language of today is a contin.
uation of the main literary dialect of
ancient Greece, the Attic, as modified
by passing through Byzantine The
modern vernacular is sometimes call
ed Romaic. At the present time there
is tendency among the Greek au-
thors to return more closely to the
ancient form of the language

all, / wish to know whether there Is
any inn in this neighborhood known
as 'Elriges'?"

miles off in the direction of East Rus
ton.
is it lonely farm"
Very lonely. sir
Perhaps they have not heard yet
of all that happened here during the
night"
Maybe not, sir"
Holmes thought for a little, and
then a curious smile played over his
face.
Saddle a horse, MY lad" said he.
Il shall wish you to take a note to
Eirige's farm"
He took from his pocket the various
slips of the dancing men. With these
in front of him he worked for some
time at the study table. Finally he
handed note to the boy. with direc-
lions to put it into the hands of the
person to whom it was addressed, and
especially to answer no questions OF
any sort, which might be put up to
him. / saw the outside of the note
addressed in Struggling irregular
characters, very unlike Holmes usual
precise hand. 1t was consigned to Mr.
Abe Stanley, Elrige's Farm, East Rus

One day colored woman was
brought into court on the charge of
beating her nine-year-old boy. The

promptly found the woman guilty, and
asked her if she had anything to say
before sentence was pronounced upon

"All right" replied the judge

Our Automobile Factories

The resumption of automobile construction
on large scale in the Detroit factories is re-
Elected in Richmond where the local automobile
concerns report the employment of more men
and marked demand for their output. The
automobile industry is one of the largest manu-
featuring interests in the United States, and the
gradual increase in it's productive output will be
noted in other spheres.
The general outlook for business conditions is
improving. The initiation has been removed
from most products that their price has al
most reached a normal status. Business men
believe that the decline has reached it's end and
that some improvement will be noted from
now
Statisticians believe that business houses and
industrial concerns which have succeeded in over
coming handicaps in the last six months need not
fear for the future, as the worst is behind. Ag-
gressive campaigns to get new business are being
put on by many concerns whose owners want to
be in position to take advantage of the trade
resumption when it comes
Conditions in our country are far from sug-
costing pessimism when compared with those
that prevail in many parts of the world. Not
only has the entire population resigned itself to
the fact that we are in period of needed della
ton, but it also believes that congress will enact
legislation to remove some of the hampering and
irksome conditions created by the war.
AS soon as our taxation system is revamped
to enable investors to divert their incomes into
industry instead of into tax exempt securities
we may expect quick picking up in all lines OF
industry and business.

The Adventure of the Dancing Man
PART ~
BY SIR ARTHUR CONAN
with The Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.

PART ~
The two women told their story
clearly enough. They had been
aroused from their sleep by the sound
of an explosion. which had been fol-
lowed minute later by a second one
They slept IN adjoining rooms, and
Mrs. King had rushed in to Saunders.
Together they had descended the
stairs. The door of the study was
open, and candle was burning upon
the table. Their master lay upon his
face in the center of the room. He
was quite dead. Near the window his
wife was crouching, hear head leaning
against the wall. She was horribly
wounded and the side of her face was
red with blood. She breathed heavily,
but was incapable of saying anything.
The passage, as we'll as the room, was
full of smoke and the smell of powder.
The window was certainly shut and
fastened upon the inside. Both wo-
men were positive upon this point.
They had at once sent for the doctor
and for the constable. Then, with the
aid of the groom and the stable boy.
they had conveyed their injured mis-
tress to her room. Both she and her
husband had occupied the bed. She
was clad in her dress-he in his dress
ing gown, over his night clothes.
Nothing had been moved in the study.
So far as they knew there had never
been any quarrel between husband
and wife. They had always looked
upon them as a very united couple.
These were the main points of the
servants evidence. In answer to In
spector Martin, they were clear that
every door was fastened upon the in

Building New Houses

Richmond, along with every city in the
United States, is suffering from housing short
age. New houses are needed to take care of the
citizens residing within our confines This situa-
ton is not of recent origin, but has been
with US for number of years.
Representatives of the building crafts last
night discussed the necessity of a revival of
conference for next Wednesday night to take
further action.
The sentiment generally expressed by per-
aons attending last nights conference was that
some concessions in price would be made to en-
courage home builders in investing their money
in residences rather than in securities.
One deterrent in every home building cam
paign has been the high price. If this factor can
be overcome so that the prospective home owner
will be encouraged to invest his money in a
house, decided stimulus in building will follow.
The leaders in the movement to give i'm
petus to construction work in Richmond are
proceeding on fundamentally sound basis. Be-
fore they launch campaign, they intend to con-
fer with representatives of the various bodies
directly interested in construction work, so that
they can come before the public with definite
announcement of what really can be DONE
No doubt there are hundreds of persons in
Richmond who would like to own their own
homes, but so far have been prevented from TAX
ing the first steps in that direction.
If the housing campaign present propo-
sition which will induce these persons to use
their savings for investment in homes, not only
will the building crafts benefit but the stimulus
to business will be felt everywhere in the city.
Money that lies idle serves neither its owner
nor the community. The dollar that moves in
the legitimate channels of trade and industry
benefits the whole community. A housing cam
paign that will put to work thousands of dollars
means employment to many, purchasing power,
increased prosperity and happiness.

Curling Carnivals

If members of the city council believe that
the whole city is not opposed to the presence of
carnivals, all they need do is to start little in
vestigation.
Sentiment against this form of amusement
has been strong for number of years. and has
reached the point where it asks the city council
to adopt regulative measures. Some carnival
companies are not as bad as others; but, in the
main, none of them present much justifica-
ton for it's appearance here.
Council has within itself power to enact an
ordinance which will give the city sufficient
power to curb the nuisance effectively. Public
opinion is set against this form of recreation
and amusement.
