did not realize my meaning when I said that this man may be taken as being quite on the same intellectual plane as myself. You do not imagine that if I were the pursuer I should allow myself to be baffled by so slight an obstacle Why, then, should you think so meanly of him?'' What will he do?' 'fWhat I should do.' What would you do then ?+ Engage a speciaI'' 'But it must be late" By no means.

 well, then we must make a cross country journey to Newhaven, and so over to Dieppe- Moriarty will again do what I should do. He will get on to Paris, mark down our luggage, .and wait for two days at the depot In the meantime we shall treat our selves to couple of carpet-bags, en- courage the manufactures of the countries through which we travel and make our way at our leisure in to Switzerland, via Luxembourg and Bas1e.''
 At Canterbury, therefore, we alight- ed ,only to find that we should have to wait an hour before we could get a train to Newhav-n. I was still looking rather ruefully after the rapidly disappearing lug gage-van which contained my ward robe, when Holmes pulled my sleeve and pointed up the line.
 Already, you see,'' said he.
 Far away from among the kentish woods there rose a thin spray of smoke. A minute later a carriage and engine could be seen flying along the open curve which leads to the. station. We had hardly time to take our place behind a pile of luggage when it passed with a. rattle and roar, beating a blast of hot air into our faces.
 .eThere he goes,'' said. Holmes, as we watched the carriage swing and rock over the points. There are limits, you see, to our friends intel-as igence. It would have been coup de-maitre had he deduced what would deduce and acted accordingly-,1
 And what would he have done had he overtaken us?"

Too much of anything, particularly color, is just as bad as, if not worse, than not enough And if there is one instance in which this ought to~be borne in mind it is when madame sets out to select cretonnes to replace the heavier hangings that have done duty through the winter months And with the arrival of weaJ-her-fair and warm the desire to effect this very change.
 To be sure, spring is still further in the offing than we wish it was, but it is not at all too early for the woman whose cEeed is prepared ness to start upon the fashionings of those things that are to make her home appear cool and attractive when the verdant days arrive

But when l searched the crowd I couldn't find him-so I put it down as a fgment of my overwrought imagination But when I said good-by to Tony l and came back to my apartment, my | absurd fears came in with me.

LYRIC.

Beginning with the matinee this afternoon and to be repeated twice every day throughout the week the rollicking laughing success, My Lady Friends will be Ehe attraction at the Lyric theatre. The story of the play is remarkably funny and touches on a subject that will prove of interest to nearly every person. There is just the semblance of a plot which involves the head of a firm of Bible publishers, whose wife refuses to spend the money he has accumulated from the sale of Bibles, which causes him to turn to other girls in a spirit of benevolence for the circulation of his cash.
 Next week the Players will again launch into musical comedy, present ing La La Lucille."

For an instant the wrinkeIs were smoothed away, the nose drew away from the chin, the lower lip ceased to protrude and the mouth to humble, the dull eyes regained their fire, the dropping figure expanded.

It was too late, however, for we were rapidly gathering momentum, and an instant later had shot clear of the station.

Society Plans Free Course In
 Music Study

New York, March 2S-New York has entered the field to develop American orchestral and choral work and conducting, for which America has hitherto been dependent on foreigners.
 Plans to develop American talent became known with the announce Inent that the American Orchestral Society, sponsored by Mrs. E. H. Hartman, has been formed and is provides for the founding of a cen class musicians to work in conjunc- amateurs which also are to be form ed.
 Promising members of these groups will be given an opportunity to play in the central orchestra and to study conducting under its leader. Counsel and instruction will be given free to members of the local musical bodies.
 Founders of the society have an nounced that it is not designed to enter the concert field or to compete with existing symphony orchestras or astitutes of music. They declare their hope that the society will maintain a supply of American trained musicians by pro- viding them with a high type of en- senble training They point out that America now is dependent on for eigners, for most of the important conducting and for the direction of many of her greater musical actiyi- ties.

WEST END.

Charlie Chaplin has hit the high spot in delightful entertainment in his first attempt at a feature length pie ture, The kid,' which is the title he has given the story, which has has written himself, is to us. the most en- joyable Chaplin film we have ever seen. In the first place it simply bubbles over with laughter and the situations are so human that you do not feel foolish because you are laughing. Again, it is long enough So that it provides a whole evenings entertainment in itself.
 ''The Kid" will be shown at the West End theatre today, matinee and night

 There is nothing good that is not initiated and it is well for madame to make sure that the cretonne she buys is firmly women and does not merely have the appearance of being firm and Strcng because it has been given a, skillful finish.
 France, if reports be true, has the honor of being the birthplace of ere tonne, and Creton, a village in Nor mandy, is said to have given this its manufactured product-its name.
 Cretonne is of course a cotton, but that does not mean that it may be had for a song- In price it is almost a peer of the priceless silk, but it does wear well and wash well-two points that are well worth taking into consideration when one chooses it instead of the latter. If there is the slightest possibility of the ere tonne ever making the acquaintance of the wash tub, it is well to see when buying it that it is printed upon both

Wednesday to Play in District
No. One Tournament

Last Friday evening the local high
school girls team and the Wilmot
high school girls played the most
exciting game of basket ball ever
played in Sisseton.. Many fans say
that it was by far the fastest and
most exciting girls game they have
ever seen.
Wilmot had with them largo
delegation of rooters, the train be-
ing held until after the game. The
local high school rooters showed
splendid organization and enthusi-
assn. The Harmony Hounds assisted
with a band that put pep into the
teams. The game was fast and spir-
led throughout. The Wilmot girls
scored first and got lead which
kept growing. At the end Of the
first half the score was 70 in their
favor. For the second half the Sisse-
tons girls came back strong and be-
gan scoring at rapid rate, till at
the end of the half the score stood
14-14 and the enthusiasm Of tho
crowd was at its highest pitch. A
five minute overtime period was
played in which the locals scored
two field goals and a free throw
while the victors scored only field
goal, leaving the score 1916 In fav-
or OF the locals. Thus during the
second half Sisseton scored II
points while Wilmot scored only Q.
Miss Madsen has the distinction
Of scoring all the points for tho
visitors getting seven field goals
and two free throws. Miss Ander-
son scored seven goals and Miss
Thomas two field goals and free
throw for the locals. The game was
featured by some very fast and clev-
er passing. Misses Stavig and Lein
did some exceptionally efficient and
at times spectacular work in the
center section. The guards had much
more work than usual 20 do az the
ball was in the Wilmot forward sec.
