minutes. Then he tossed the ring
back onto the show case.

"Why-it cost several thousand,

Fifty dollars" he repeated. Take

examination of the bracelet.
Tears OF rage were trembling In
Jeanne's eyes She reached forth a
peremptory hand.
Give me that" she demanded.
Staring at her curiously, he laid
the bracelet back on the counter.
With a single motion Of her white
gloved hand, she swept the ring and
the bracelet back into her bag, and
walked out. shutting the door behind
her with a vicious slam.
The taxi driver waiting beside the
open door of his car. also looked at
her curiously. He seemed about to
ask a question, but Jeanne stepped
haughtily into the car.
Take me to-" Shef gave the
name Of a fashionable Fifth Avenue
jeweler.
While the cab turned around and
made its way toward Fifth. avenue,
she sat regarding her gloves distaste-
fully. They were not visibly soiled.
but she felt as IL the breath Of Man
hattan's underworld had begrimed
her somehow. She could scarcely
wait to reach Fifth avenue, and
breathe its rarified atmosphere.
The car stopped before a jewelry
shop. where priceless gems were dis
played enticingly against sapphire
velvet boxes behind acres of plate
glass. that the avenue passer-by
might see and stop and envy.
Jeanne dismissed her taxi, and en-
tered the shop.

SMASHING OF LAMPS
CHIEF CAIRO SPORT

When professional demonstrators
are bored in Cairo. the Egyptian Mail
says, they so forth into the city and
smash a few lamps. So that now
since the recent spring uprising, the
British, residing in the shadow of
the Pyramids, are faced with the
problem Of finding substitutes for
5000 missing lamps. The conditions
are exactly reversed from those ex-
listing during the last years Of the
war with Germany, when in dark
ness lay safety. The British in Cairo
need light. light in every street, alley
and courtyard.
1t will take three months for the
new lamps to come from Europe. In
the meantime the commandant of
police has requested the 'people to
place lanterns at their doors, but as
this Is a mourning custom among
the Egyptians, the idea has met with
little approval. Other proposals have
been that the contractors who ar
range fetes and. carnivals should be
called upon to turn the principal
streets into a blaze of false festivity
or that householders be compelled to
string electric wires like vines, with
lighted bulbs for nocturnal blossoms,
over their balconies and keep them
burning all night at their own ex-
pense. r. - -.-

TWO FTvES DISPUTE
KANAWHA'S CLAIM

The claim of. the Kanawha Props
to the ownership of the District tu-
nior basketball championship Is
questioned by the st. Teresa and
Manhattan A. c. quints.
W. E. Mcdonald. skipper Of the
st. Teresa quint, says he requested
the Kanawhas for another game or
a series, but was told there was moth
ing doing. His team won fifteen out
Of eighteen games, losing to the X.
Of c. Big Five. and twice to the
Ksnawhas. One game with the Kan
awhas was played on the 1atter's S
floor, and decided by one basket In
a return game at the Coliseum the
Kanawhas repeated by a one-point
margin.
Manager Mcdonald claims the
Kanawhas refused to meet the Saints
>on the latter's court. He Is willing
t2 play one game or a series to set
tie the dispute.
Chris Hutchinson, boss of the
Manhattans. bases his right to shot
at the title. on the fact that his club
won twenty three out of twenty
seven games. The only defeats suf-
fered were when, <the Manhattans
stepped outyof their class to oppose
the Yankees. ESAfoysius and Grace A.
c.. recognized as the "big three
Of the. District. F
4. Hut says he repeatedly chal-
lenged the Kanawhas. but the lat
ter refused to play Saturday night
dates at the Palace. He went so
far as to guarantee to play the Kan
awhas on a Sunday. providing the
title claimants would agree to Sat-
urday night game. The Manhattan
pilot says that the Kanawhas would
not listen to the proposition.

Constitution Is Finished.

DUBLIN, March 6.-Drafting of
an Irish constitution was completed
tonight by a committee under the
chairmanship of Warrell Figgis.
The document will be submitted to
the provisional government tomor.
row for possible changes. 1t will
be placed before the people in June
when Ireland will vote Jointly on
the constitution and the free state.
There is no intention. to submit
the constitution to the British
Parliament before the Irish peopie
vote on IT. The opinion here is that
the only question which the house
OF commons will have to decide In
whether the constitution CONFLICTS
with the treaty and some of the best
minds In Ireland believe that Il
does not. 1t is not believed that the
British will attempt to amend the
constitution adopted by the Irish
provided it does not conflict with
the treaty.
The constitution as written by
the committee provides for the in
clusion of Ulster. Under 1t the six
counties of the North would receive
almost the same measure of inde-
pendence as they now possess.
ulster would have its own legisla-
ture functioning much as do those
OF the provinces of Canada or States
in the United States. OF course
there would be certain restrictions.
Any act passed by the Ulster legis-
lature. IL contested, would come be-
fore the supreme court of all Ire
land on the question of its consti-
tutfonality. 1t Is understood that
the constitution gives women under
30 and over 21 the right to vote
equally with the men and in addi-
ton extends the male franchise.

By the time the train had rolled

that il would be best to offer only
the ring and the bracelet at a pawn
shop. and go to a reputable jeweler
to sell the pearls. 1t would also be
easier to arrange for a duplicate

sincerely that jewellers did not ask

credentials when they made a pur-
chase.

Among the days queries that

come across this one: What is the
fastest running animal on earth.
and how fast can it run 100 yards;
and also a mile?" We have been
told that this is an Asiatic ante
lope. whose scientific name we have
forgotten. The speed of this ante
lope has been estimate at a mile
a minute. some thirty-five seconds
SO over the same distance.
The sight of some four-legged
sprinter leading Man o. War or
Norwich by over a quarter in a
mile dash would be something to
look at. The ostrich is easily the
fastest of the two-legged sprinters,
with no one eles close. II an os-
trich has ever been timed for the
100. 220 and 400 we have never

SWEETS BEST
FOR CHRISTMAS

NJ s. Sweet. who is extensively en-
gagged In the honey business and
who last year built large warehouse
at Minden, exclusively for the care
OF bee products, has made up several
hundred Christmas boxes OF honey
and placed them on sale in the stores
of Minden and Gardnerville as we'll
as Reno. Each box contains twelve
sections of high grade honey, espec-
tally packed for holiday trade, and
sells for $500.
Very recently Mr. Sweet booked a
number Of orders for high grade
Nevada honey to be shipped to ad-
Joining states as Christmas remem-
berances to friends. Believing that
there would be created a general de-
mand for such a practical Christmas
gift, Mr.. Sweet selected all of his
high grade product and boxed 1t for
an exclusive Christmas trade and is
being advertised as such here and at
Reno. The Christmas boxes OF
choice Nevada honey may be seen at
the Farmers Cooperative Mercantile
store at Minden and at Howard
Bros. and the Arendt Jensen company
stores in Gardnerville.
