The only answer was that the fact

When did he change? The only pos

the moment of Roberts arrival And
when did Cayley collect the clothes

was Before Roberts arrival So an

And the answer was that a muir

made it more curious. Amos told
me that Robert had gone out Of his
way to speak to him.
Parsons told me that his wife was
out in their little garden at the first
lodge all the afternoon, and was
certain that Robert had never come
past it. He also told me that Cayley
had put him on to a job on the front
lawn that afternoon. So I had an
other guess. Robert had used the
secret passage-the passage which
comes out into the park. between the
first and second lodges. Robert, then,
had been in the house; it was put-up
job between Robert and Cayley. But
how could Robert be there without
Mark knowing? Obviously, Mark
knew, too. What did 1t all mean?"
when was this?" interrupted Bill.
Just after the inquest-after you'd
seen Amos and Parsons, of course?"
Yes. I got up and left them and
came back to look for you. I'd got
back to the clothes then. Why did
Mark change his clothes so secretly?
Disguise? But then what about his
face? That was much more impor-
tant than clothes. His face, his beard
he'd have to shave off his beard
and then-oh, idiot! I saw you look

made-up. Mark disguised. Oh, price

Yes" said Bill thoughtfully. Yes
But wait a moment. What

Antony looked comically at him.
You'll never forgive me, Bill" he
said.
What do you mean?"
Antony sighed.
1T was a fake, Watson. I wanted
you out OF the way. I wanted to be
alone. So" he smiled and added;

British Quitting

pie Indifferent.

Dublin, Jan. 30.-(By A. P.)-
British evacuation of Ireland is pro-
ceeding more speedily than was an
ticipated.
Each day sees a large batch OF
troops leave Dublin and other ports.
Departure of the Dublin garrison is
due to begin this week.
Throughout Ireland similar build
ings are falling under control of the
new Irish government and some may
be needed for the new Irish army.
1t is taken for granted that it will
be established promptly and green
uniforms are being manufactured on
large scale.
1t is noteworthy that the evacua-
ton of the British has occurred
everywhere without manifestation
whatever from the people; there has
been no sign either of popular re-
joicing or regret.
The transition from one govern
ment to another has been rapid, but
criminals have done their best to
take advantage of any confusion aris-
ing from the change. There have
been daring bank robheries and
holdups throughout the country and
even in Dublin city, but the new
government is dealing vigorously
with the criminal element.

Fremont Banker
Denied New Trial

Frank B. Knapp, Former
Head of Fidelity Trust,
Given Three to Five.
Year Sentence.

Fremont, Ncb.. Jan. 30-tSpecial
Telegram .)-Frank B. knapp, for
mer president of the Fidelity Trust
company, convicted of embezzlement
last week, was today sentenced to
the state penitentiary for from three
to five years.
Attorneys for the defense inme-
diately gave notice of appeal, when
their motion for new trial was over
ruled. Bonds placed at 10000, pendA
ing the fight in supreme court, were
furnished by friends.
Attorney Murdoch, Omaha, asked
for a new trial on the ground that
there was no deliberate intent to en-
bezzle when the alleged crime was
committed. The court, however,
stated that the jury was justified in
bringing verdict of guilty with the
evidence that was submitted. The
fact that funds left in Knapp's care
amounting to $3,5S5, by Stephen Car
penter, 81, were converted TO the use
of the company, constituted embez-

Knapp was supposed to purchase
liberty bonds for Carpenter, but

its doors and the Fidelity Trust
company followed. no bonds ior Car

Mercury Tumbles as
Cold Wave Hits West

Denver, Colo, Jan. 30.-The west
was in the grip Of another cold wave
today when the mercury went down
to % below in Wyoming. A light
snowfall was general over the region.
Forecasts for the next twenty-four
hours were for the coldest weather
of the winter in Utah northern Ari-
zona, western Colorado and western
New Mexico.
Sheridan, Wyo., was the coldest
point in the storm area today with
a temperature of % below zero, while
at Billings and Havre, Mont, it was
26 below.
Precipitation tonight will be gem

tain region, according to the forecast
OF the weather bureau. Rain or snow
prevailed today over the stretch
from southern California to south

Snow also fell over the Missouri
valley, North Platte, Neb., reporting

Women Of U. S. Think
Themselves Superior to
Men, Frenchnlan Finds

Chicago, Jan. 30.-The American
woman marches down the street as
if she owned the town, Jules Bois,
president Of the French Society OF
Physical Research, said in an ad-
dress here yesterday.
"She really feels superior to
men," he added. II was astound-
ed when I came to America a few
weeks ago. In Europe Freud de-
clared women are handicapped by
an inferiority complex, that is, they
feel deficiency when competing in
the world of men. That may be
true in Europe but it certainly is
not true here. They have what I
would describe as the superiority
complex. Women here will 60 far." !"
Noises made by the elevated
trains, coupled with the general
love for jazz music and entertain

girl, were reasons given by M.
Bois for the dearth of Joan Of Arcs

Believed Near al Hand

Washington. Jan. 50,-(By A. p.)
Further indications that a settle

conversations.
Every issue OF the Shantung prob

eent details OF the Tsiug Tao SIM
snfu railroad settlement aud resump,
ton Of the negotiations was taken te
mean that the two groups were ready
TO again take mp discussion OF the
railroad questions.
At this same time a call was issued
Tor a meeting late in the day OF the
naval committee OF IS, presumably
to discuss the japanese reply on for
tifieatons which is the only feature
OF the tiye-power naval treaty re-
naming uneompleted.
Members OF the Chinese delega-
tion indicated that the prospect OF a
settlement OF the veSing railroad
problem was based TO some extent
on adyiees lately received by them
from Peking. IL was thought in Chi
nese circles that the Japanese prob
ably would meet the Chinese half
way in reaching an agreement on the
basis af some modification the Japa-
nese proposal urged upon the Chi
