WOMAN UNIDENTIFIED

Camden. N. j., Feb. 1S.-First re-
ports that the woman whose frozen
body was found near Forest Hill park
yesterday was Mrs. Rose klink, of
this city, proved to be erroneous when
Mrs. Kiinll was located in North
Camden by detectives Though post
morton examination revealed that the
woman had not been murdered, the
case today still presented mysterious
angles apart from that of identifica-
tion. Scratches and bruises on the
face and neck, police said probably
were caused when she fell or was
dragged on the frozen snow. The
marks at first led police to believe the
woman had been murdered.

CHAPTER viii.
ConuS,

ComUS.
From the time they left the Leda-
nois house with Lucie, Gramont had
no opportunity Of seeing his chauffeur
in private until, later in the afternoon,
he left the Maison Blanche building.
He had enjoyed a thoroughly satisfac-
tory interview with joachim Fell. The
car was waiting for him in Royal
street, not far from the MonteleOne,
and GramOnt approached it to find
Hammond in deep worry over the out
come of the interview with Fell.
"Well, cap'n!" he exclaimed. anx-
iously, as Gramont drew up. You're
smilin', so guess it amt pinch"
"Don't worry. The stuff is returned,
and the matter is now closed. We can
forget all about the Midnight MasQuer.
Now, there's another and more impor-
tant thing that I want to speak With
you about, Il matter of business"
Hold on, cap'n!" interrupted Ham,
mond, quietly, his eye on a spot be-
hind GramOnt. zone of your friends
is headed over this way, and it I
know anything about it, he's got blood
in his eye"
Gramont turned, to see Bob Mail
lard approaching. The latter adj
dressed him without any response to
his greeting.
Have you moment to spare, Gra-
monte"
'All afternoon" answered Gramont,
cheerfully. He affected not to observe
Maillard's air of heavy business, nor
the frowning suspicion that lurked
half-veiled in the others glowering
features.
The two were standing bit apart.
and Hammond was fussing with one of
the headlights, but Gramont suspected
that the chauffeur was listening avid
ly. 1--WE just come from a talk with
dad. How did it happen that you sold
him that stock Of yours in the COM
pany?"
Gramont smiled a little. II hap
pened to need the money. Why?"
':But why the devil didn't you hang
on to that stock? Or if you needed
money, why didn't you come to met"
exploded the other, angrily.
"Heavens!' drawled Gramont, who
was quite willing to exasperate young
Maillard to the limit. You seem
frightfully concerned about it! What's
the big idea, anyway? offered the
stock to your father at discount He
realized that it was a good buy, and
took it. What's wrong with that?"
Nothing wrong. If you put it that
way" snapped Maillard, angrily. "But
it's a COMPOUNDED sly way Of doing
things"
''Now, just wait right there!" Ora
mont's easy smile vanished. Il don't
take that kind Of talk, Maillard. I'm
off in the morning to start work on

One thing more: Henry Gramont IS
going to see you after luncheon, I
think-on business. And I want you
to be nice to him, Uncle Jachin."
Most assuredly," said the other,
dryly. II should like to be associated
in business with that young man. The
firm would prosper"
Smiling, she hung up the receiver.
Ten minutes later, when GramOnt
and Miss Ledanois entered the wait
ing car, Hammond saw the boxes that
they carried. He stood beside the
open door, paralyzed, his eyes fas-
tened on the boxes, his mouth asape.
ITO the post office, sergeant" said
Gramont, then affected Ito observe his
stupefaction. "Why, what's the mat
;ter?'
Hammond met his twinkling eyes,
saw the laughter OF Lucie, and swal-
lowed hard, .~,.,
"-er-nothing at all, cap'n," he an
sweyed, hoarsely. "A-little' chokin'
spell, that's, all. Post office? Yes,
sir" Il go -

'Now what was the big surprise that
you just mention ed you were going to
give poor Mr.. Fen this afternoon?"
GramOnt's eyes twinkled. You re-
member that L thought he su spected
me of being the Arasquer? Well, I
was going to him to propose that we
enter business together"
oh! AS bandits?>
''No, as oil promoters. I'm, out of
Maillard's company, or shall be out of
II soon. The minute I'm OUT, I'll be
free to 60 into business for myself. It
occurred to me- that if joachim Fell had
brains enough to run down the Mid
night Masquer, he would be. n mighty
sood business partner; because I'm
poor on business detail. Also, Z think
Fell Is to be trYsted. He's, very strong
politically, have &ound-al though
few people blow it,"
But he's not Interested in .oil, is
he?"
i don't know: tai e for granted
that he's Interested in making money.
Most men are. The OF lily way to make

Messrs. Carter & Ellis
Moved To New Quarters

Carter & Ellis, BARRIERS, moved this
week into their new quarters in the
Peninsula Produce Exchange building
on Front street. Just after the fire
these young men located temporarily
in the room in the store of Smullin
& Bros, and have since been doing
business there. This room was, of
course, too small for them and they
had to look for new quarters. They
finally succeeded in locating in the
Exchange building as above stated.
The room has been completely rebuilt
and renovated and is today one of the
neatest rooms of its size in Pocomoke
City, thoroughly equipped with water
and electricity. These progressive
young men have put in all new fix
lures and they are really as well fixed
as they were before the fire. They
are good boys, all of them, and they
have the best wishes of all our people
for continued success.

BUILDING WORK
GOES STEADILY ON
Much Work Being Done And The
Bigger And Better Pocomoke Is
Fairly Under Way.

The rebuilding of Pocomoke Citv
has now certainly started in earnest
and in very few months the place
will have so changed in appearance
that it will scarcely be recognized.
The storehouse of Mr.. f. w. Veasey
which is to be occupied by H. w.
Callahan & Sons, is going up very
swiftly. 1t was the first started and
will surely be the first finished. The
walls are now little beyond the sec
end story mark and it will not be long,
weather permitting, before the brick
layers will have finished their part of
the contract.
The work on the storehouse of N.
Davis & Sons at the corner of Sec
ond and Willow streets is also under
way. The contractor, Mr.. E. S. Cros-
well, began the walls on Thursday
afternoon last Mr.. T. Pratt Meal
len has charge of the brick work. The
same space will be covered by Mr..
Davis as was covered by his old store.
He will have three separate and dis
tinct stores, however, and they will
all front on Willow street instead of
Second street, as the old store did.
They will all be two stories in height
and their style of architecture will be
attractive.
Excavations have been going on
this week for the new stores of R. ]
Lambden and Lloyd & Blaine, on
Market street. These two stores join
each other and it is the intention of
the contractors to carry both build
ings on together They will both have
large cellars and as it takes some
time TO build cellars it is sure that it
will be near the close of the coming
week before they begin the laying of
bricks. Mr.. Henry B. Pilchard has
the contract for these two stores and
the brick work will be under the di-
rection of our townsman, T. Pratt
McAllen.
In addition to the above work of re-
pairing the front of the storehouse of
Mr.. S. j. Maddox on Market street
was commenced this week and the
others along the line will de likewise
repaired just as soon as the contrac-
tors can get to them. Surely we have
made much headway during the past
week.

SOMERSET HEIGHTS
BECINSl TO IMPROVE
MIR. John L. Paradee The First To
Build On State Road Just Over
The River Bridge.

AS soon as the new location for the
river bridge was announced more than
a year and a-half ago, and it was
learned that the new state highway
as to come through the farm of Mr..
William j. Young in Somerset county
and that the new bridge to span the
Pocomoke river at this place would
land at the foot of Market street,
there were not wanting prophets who
foretold of the great improvement
that we would soon see on the other
side of the river on the farm of Mr..
Young. 1t was said that this section
would soon begin to develop and that
in few years little city of itself
would be located on the other side of
the beautiful Pocomoke River Bridge.
1t begins to look now as though,
these who were making the prophecy
knew what they were talking about
for operations have already begun in
that new section. Our good friend
Mr.. John l.. Paradee, is the first to
make the start. He has purchased a
lot from Mr.. Young and is now busily
engaged in constructing a fine resi-
dence upon it. His location is on the
southwest side of the state highway
and is the first lot after clearing the
swamp land leaving the bridge. 1t is
nice location and when Mr.. Paradee
gets through we are sure his improve
ments will be of such a character as
that others, and many of them, will
soon be induced to also take up their
lot with the Somerset people.
The section in question is indeed a
very desirable one. The land is high
and one is away from the hustle and
hustle of city life..There is room and TO
spare so that one will not feel cramp-
ed. The excessive high prices of town
building lots to say nothing of the
saving of municipal taxes, is also an
other factor in it's favor. But with
all this we hate to see our good resi-
dents like Mr.. John Paradee leav-
ing us.

THE FOUR HORSEMEN"
COMING NEXT MONDAY
Will Have Second Showing At En-
pire Theatre Two Days Next
Week.

Rex Ingram's $1,OOO,00O production
Of "The Four Horsemen of the Apoc-
alypse," made for Metro, is announc-
e1 by the Empire Theatre for next
Monday and Tuesday nights. This will
ne the second showing here of the
screen version of Vincente Blasco
Ibanez's novel that has been acclaim
ell in New York, Chicago, Boston,
Pittsburgh, Detroit and Los Angeles
as marking new epoch in the devel-
opment of motion pictures. At its
New York opening people paid $40 a
seat. Critics said the picture had
definitely established the screen not
only as capable of rivaling the stage
at it's best, but of surprising it in its
grip upon the emotions.
"The Four Horsemen" is the su-
rreme expression of the Great War.
Certainly no novel has stirred the
universal appeal created by the Ibanez
The book, now in it's one
hundred and sixty-sixth edition, has
been read throughout the world. The
monumental task of transfrring it to
the screen was accomplished by June
Matthias, who made scenario that
from all accounts has preserved the
force of the original and in many in
cidents heightened it. But it is the
director, Rex Ingram, who has
achieved the most sensational sue
cess. He has set new mark in ar
tistry of perturbation.
For sheer realism, "The Four
Horsemen" has never been excelled,
and is a picture you cannot afford to
miss,
