Now I'll go. No, no, don't detain me!
He is almost due"
With a frightened look at the clock
our strange visitor literally ran to the
door and disappeared
We'll, WE'LL" said Holmes, after an
interval of silence. Mr.. Gibson seems
to have a nice loyal household. But
the warning is a useful one, and now
we can only wait till the man himself
appears"
Sharp at the hour we heard a heavy
step upon the stairs and the famous
millionaire was shown into the room.

so many have said so, and yet here
l am" said Holmes, smiling. We'll,
good morning, Mr.. Gibson. You have
good deal yet to learn
Our visitor made noisy exit, but
Holmes smoked in imperturbable sill
ence, with dreamy eyes fixed upon the
ceiling.
ANY views, Watson?" he asked at
last.
We'll, Holmes, l must confess that
when l consider that this is a man
who would certainly brush any OBJ
stacle from his path, and when l re-
member that his wife may have been
an obstacle and an object of dislike,
as that man Bates plainly told US, it
seems to me-"
! Exactly. And to me also"
But what were his relations with
the governess and how did you dis
cover them?"
Bluff, Watson, bluff, When l con.

pretty clear that there was some deep
emotion which centred upon the &C.
cused woman rather than upon the vic
tim. We've got to understand the ex
act relations of those three people il
we are to reach the truth. You saw
the frontal attack which l made upon
him and how imperturbably he receiv
/ ed it. Then l bluffed him by giving
him the impression that l was abso
lutely certain, when in reality l was
only extremely suspicious"
Perhaps he will come back?"
| HE is sure to come back. He must
come back. He can't leave it where
it is. Ha. isn't that ring? Yes
there is his footstep. Well, Mr.. Glib
son, l was just saying to DR.. Watson
that you were somewhat overdue
The Gold King had re-entered the
room in more chastened mood thar
he had left it. His wounded pride
still showed in his resentful eyes, bu
his common sense had shown him thai
he must yield if he would attain his
end.

functory fashion as Holmes mentioned
my name, and then with a masterful
air of possession he drew chair up to
my companion and seated himself with
his bony knees almost touching him.
Let me say right here, Mr..
Holmes" he began, that money is
nothing to me in this case. You can
burn it if it's any use in lighting you
to the truth. This woman is innocent
and this woman has to be cleared, and
it's up to you to do it. Name your fig
ure!"
MY professional charges are upon
a fixed SCALE" said Holmes, coldly. Il
do not vary them, save when l remit
them altogether"
"Well, if dollars make no difference
to you, think of the reputation. If you
and America will be booming you.
You'll be the talk of two continents"
Thank you, Mr.. Gibson, l do not
think that l am in need of booming.

you wish more light upon-well l ain

what is it?"
What were the exact relations be-
tween you and Miss Dunbar"
/ The Gold King gave violent start
and half rose from his chair. Then
! his massive calm came back to him
! Il suppose you are within your rights
and maybe doing your duty-in ask
ing such question, Mr.. Holmes"
! We will agree to suppose So" said
Holmes
Then l can assure you that our re
llations were entirely and always those
of an employer towards young lady
whom he never conversed with, OF
even saw, save when she was in the
company of his children"
Holmes rose from his chair.
Il am a rather busy man, Mr.. Glib
son." he said, "and | have no time OF
taste for aimless conversations. | wish
you good morning"
Our visitor had risen also and hi:
great loose figure lowered above
Holmes. There was an angry CLEAN
from under those bristling brows anC
a tinge of color in the sallow cheeks.
What the devil do you mean b!
this, Mr.. Holmes? Do you dismiss my
case?"
Well, Mr. Gibson, at least l dismis:

What is it you want?"
The truth"
The Gold King paused FOR a moment
as one who marshals his thoughts. His
grim, deep-lined face had become even
sadden and more grave.
Il can give it to you in very few
words, Mr.. Holmes" said he at last.

That may be so, but you will admit
Mr.. Holmes, that most men would shy
off a bit when they are asked point
blank what their relations with a
woman may be-if there is really some
serious feeling in the case. l guess
most men have little private reserve
of their own in some corner of their
souls where they don't welcome in

HOW1

A cast of unusual excellence sup:
 ports Bessie Barriscale a new star in "Life's Twist" the Robertson-COle Spe,
 cial which will be seen at the Elm. press theater tonight. The picture is reported to show Miss Barriscale at the pinnacle of her art as dramatic ac- tress.
 Foremost among her supporting cast is Walter McGrail, the handsome and sympathetic young leading man, who scored so heavily in Blind Youth and other well known productions. His success is the fruit of many years
 of solid and substantial work on the screen. McGrail, as the well-bred bus band of a pampered society girl, played by Miss Barriscale, gives finished and highly polishel portrayal of a young man who marries for money and then falls in love with his own
 wife,
 King Baggot, that redoubtable char acter delineator of the screen as the
 disappointed suitor, plays a role which
 is the nearest approach to those lov' able villains who excite the sympathy and good wishes of the audience. Bag gott, the first actor to appear on the screen as "Dr. Jekyll and MT Hyde, has starred in a number of well known
 stories as well as in the war serial, "The Eagles Eye
 Others in the cast whose established
 regulations won for them important roles in 'Life's Twist" includes Mar
 cia Manon, she whose exotic personal
 ity made her one of the outstanding
 characters in Mary Pickford's stella
 Maris," Truly Shattock, musical com edv star and character woman of the
 screen, William V. Mong, equally
 famous character delineator. and

PARIS CONTAINS 316,198
 MORE WOMEN THAN MEN

PARIS, March 30.-According to official statistics published recently, there are in Paris 316,19S more wom- en than men. The total number of men registered is 1,295,137 Out of a total population of 2,9O6,472, 52,474 persons refused to give their ages. Contrary to all expectations more men refused than women. Of the lat ter only 24,900 refused to give their correct ages. The officials dare not guess at a figure as to the number of women who gave incorrect ages.
 Other figures show that more couples get married in Paris than in any other part of France or the colonies. Corsica holds the record for the smallest number of mar riages.
 Only fourteen people in every thousand die yearly in Paris, while the number of births increases yearly.

REMAINED GREAT POWER"

"Even after the demobilization of the Army we remained for time a great military power. For a few years our armies were still powerful, in being prepared if necessary for a speedy recall to the colors. This was so fully recognized by the world that in 1867 a mere hint sufficed to cause a withdrawal of the French armies from Mexico. A little later, however, the great war organization had melted away. Its officers and professional soldiers went back to the problem of the company and the battalion, with no arrangement for transmitting their lore and experience to their younger brothers and sons. Commanders and staff officers who had practiced great war at Gettysburg and Chickamauga returned to civil life, or went back to the petty routine of the frontier post, without any means Of bequeathong their priceless heritage. From being leaders of the people in a great na- tional crisis our American professional soldiers passed again into an isolated caste, without vital contact with the body of the nation"
 It is some such state of affairs as that pictured by Colonel Palmer that serious-minded officers of the Army have in mind today when they note the tendency of Congress to cut down appropriations for the War Depart ment No doubt the element of sell fshness enters into the consideration in a few places, but in majority of cases the thinking men of the Regular Army believe that the policy which now apparently has a dominating position is penny wise and pound foolish"

"NO NATIONAL SYSTEM"

"At the outbreak of the Civil war and such military knowledge as we had was concentrated in a limited number of trained soldiers, most of them in the Regular Army, with a few others in civil life who had served in the Mexican war. It suddenly be- came the mission of these men, with out preconceived plans, to impart that knowledge to vast citizen armies. Their visual experience had been linn ited generally to company and bat talion units. l. think it is fair to say that only one leader showed any con- ception of the practical business of troop leading in 1861. This was Stone wall Jackson, and it is interesting to remember that he had left the bidding routine of the old Army shortly after the Mexican war with the deliberate object of seeking an opportunity to study military art.
 By the end of the war we were the greatest military power on earth. We had developed powerful military organization. We had leaderss and staff officers indoctrinated with the latest conceptions of strategy and tac- tics Our supply officers had over come the difficulties of Sherman's ad- vance to Atlanta. We had general staff in fact, though not in name.
