Seated in the quiet of his Paris
study. NJ. Jonquelle, greatest of
e'rench detectives, reads from his
fathers diary the tale of crime
that took place years ago in far
off Virginia.
Tie diary tells how the son of
Peyton Marshall stole his fathers
will because he believed his father
at his death had been strangely in
fluenced by the Engishman, Mr..
Gosford, and that under this influ-
ence had left Gosford all his $780,
600 estate instead Of keeping his
promise and leaving his son 100000.
The writer of the diary recounts
bow his father and the lawyer, Mr..
Lewis, were suspicious of Gosford.
The son admites he took the wiz
and surrenders it to the executors
who are gathered in the plantation
library with Gosford and the old doc
tor, Gaeki.
Go on With the Story.
CHAPTER III
1t was my father who broke The
silence.
''Gosf2rl," he said, what scheme
were you and Marshall about?"

the Englishman, continuing to write
his notes; Il shall not tell you"
But l will tell you, said the boy.

COUGAR MADE GOOD SHOWING
Man and Three Dogs Engaged In Long
and Fierce Battle With Preda-
tory Animal.

According to a Husum (Wash.)
special to the New York World, a
man, three dogs and a big cougar
engaged in a frightful battle near
there in the foothills of Mount
Adams, according to Gus Olsen, who
is under a doctors care for several
dozen deep cuts on his body.
Olsen, seeking cougar guilty of
robbing him of several calves, start
ed three experienced hunting dogs on
the trail and they intercepted the
furious animal in a hollow. The
cougar backed upward into low
hanging cedar and coolly faced the
dogs which went after it from all
sides.
The first dog within range Of the
sharp claws of the big cat had it's
head nearly severed and the second
dog to launch an offensive was
ripped open from end to end. The
third plucky dog was sailing into
the flying claws Of the cougar when
Olsen arrived and fired.
Thinking the animal dead. Olsen
reached for its tail to pull it from
the tree. The cougar suddenly be-
came a dynamo of destruction and
in a few minutes had torn Olsen's
clothing to shreds and left him
bleeding from several dozen deep
scratches.
Olsen was entirely exhausted when
the cougar fell dead from the slow
effects of the bullet in its lungs.

IMPROVED CAM ERA

Formerly specially built camera
was required for taking "slow-mo-
ton" moving pictures, produced by
running the film through the camera
at high speed and projecting it at
normal speed. Now an attachment,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine, is
available by the use of which any
motion picture camera will produce
films at the rate Of 1873 to 200 ex-
posures a second, instead of Is a
second, the normal rate. The device
can be attached or removed in about
one minute, and, when removed, the
camera may be used in the regular
way without further change.

they differ from most stadia in this

SCOUTS EXPLAIN
WHY GOOD MEN
ARE NOW SCARCE

PITNSBU RICH, Oct. 10.-The ire
mendous development of industrial
league and professional baseball
is blamed by the scouts of the Pitts
burgh Nationals for the unusually
small number of promising young
sters in the minor league this season.
Pirate sleuths who have been ram

worthy OF Class A attention have
preferred to play on the side" while
holding down industrial positions.

which were as well played as class

Pirate scouts have pointed out also
that the scarcity of real prospects in
the organized baseball field has
caused club owners to ask sky-high
prices for any player attracting ma
jor league attention.
"The moment scout looks over a
prospect his cash value increases

CUBAN FENCERS
TRAINING FOR
1923 TOURNAMENT

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 10.-Highly
elated by their victory last May
over picked swordsmen from the
New York Athletic Club, Cuban fenc,
ers have begun training and are ar
ranging elimination bouts to pick a
team for the international tourna'
ment to be held in Havana next
February.
Pho Alfonso, one of Cuba's most
noted masters at arms, IS in charge
of the preliminary work. Reports
from the United States say that the
Amateur Fencing League of America,
which has accepted the Cuban chal-
lenge to engage in the February
tournament, has discovered that in
terest in fencing in the United States
is increasing and that new fencing
masters have been imported from Eu
rope to develop latent American tai
ent.
The Cuban team that met the
New Workers last spring, while com
posed of experts, was not representa-
tive of the republic. for lack of time
prevented the holding of adequate
elimination bouts. Under present
conditions, elimination bouts will be
held every Saturday, winners names
will be posted, and they will be
forced to accept challenges from 9TH
er winners. The members of the
1922 team will have the right to
compete with the final winners of
the elimination contests for the
honor of representing Cuba in 1923.

The value of this option alone to
veterans, state and nation. is suffi.
cient to win approval for the entire
bill. In the first place, it goes about
reclaiming hitherto unproductive farm
lands. benefiting individual states and
the nation. Then It provides work in
the reclamation for jobless men. Again,
il attracts TO the farm young men
who have the pioneer instinct and en-
ables them TO become productive citi-
zens, on easy terms. IT. is the most
comprehensive reclamation project yet
advanced in the congress and has won
the support OF numerous factions that
are interested in reclamation projects.
The reclamation would be under strict
supervision and in no sense real estate
speculation.
