there. II stood now between the two
seats on the floor, and picking II up
and looking at It, he found II unfas-
tened and with marks about the lock
which told plainly that IL had been
forced.
He set 1t on the floor between his
knees and checked over it's contents.
Nothing had been taken. so far as
he could tell; for the. bag had con
tanned only clothing. the Chinese die
tionary and the box of cigars. and
these all apparently we're stIll there.
He had laid out the things on the
seat across from him while checking
them up, and now he began TO put
them back In the bag. Suddenly he
noticed that one OF his socks was
missing; what had been eleven pairs
was now only ten pairs and n odd
sock.
This disappearance of a single sock
was so strange. so bizarre, so per
picking that-unless 1t was acciden-
tnl-he could not account for II at all.

Ever since his receipt of the tele-
gram, Eaton-as he passed through
the train In going 10 and from the
diner or for other reasons-had been
trying covertly TO determine which,
II anyone, among the passengers. was
the .oner who. the telegram had
warned him, was Following" him.
For at first he had interpreted II to
mean that one OF them" whom he
had to fear must be on the train.
Later he had felt certain that this
could not be the case, for otherwise
any one of "them" who knew him
would have spoken by this time. Now

be aboard the train returned.

time. II said nothing definite even
TO the trainmen.'' he replied and

His eyes shifted from the face of
one to another. until he had assured
himself that all agreed. AS Avery
left the car. Eaton found a seat In
one of the end sections near the draw
Ing room. He did not know whether
to ask 10 leave the car, or whether he
ought TO remain and he would have
gone except for recollection of Har-
rlet Santoine. Then the curtain at
the end Of the ear was pushed further
aside. and she came in.
She was very pale, but quite con-
trolled, as Eaton knew she would be.
She looked at Eaton, but did not
speak as she passed: she went d.
rectiy TO the door of the drawing
by Avery. The door closed. and for
a moment Eaton could hear voices In
side the room-Harriet S~antoine's,
SincIair's. Connery's. The conductor
then came to the door of the drawing
room and sent the porter for water
and clean linen Eaton heard the rip
of linen being torn. and the car be-
came filled with the smell of anti
septics.
Donald Avery came out of the draw
ing room and dropped into the seat
across from Eaton. He seemed deep

LODGE TAX PROTEST
Sutton County StOcImen and Merchants
Form Organization.

Sonora, Feb. 10.--That Sutton coun-
ty stockmen and merchants are unalter-
ably opposed to paying more taxes, was
clearly shown when a mass meeting in
Sonora was held "Wednesday afternoon,
resolutions being passed and the meet
ing going on record as opposed to House
bill No. "a. and Dinkle bill No. 303.
Sam L. Mcknight, prominent Hereford
breeder, was elected chairman and Roy
Il. Aldwell was chosen as ecretary. The
organization will be permanent
The reolutions brought out that be-
cause of the rapid increase in taxes they
have now reached burdensome proper
tons and if further increased will
amount to further confiScation. 1t was
also stated that instead of increasing
our taxes and looking for more avenues
or revenue, our Legislature should Use
every means to reduce the expense of the
government and consolidate overlapping
departments, and for this reason re-
solved that they be unalterably opposed
to the bills. Senator Dudley and Rep
resentative Stewart of this district were
wired, asking that they oppose the
measures.

the way the Russian director, Komisar-

The Square Peg" Poor Play.
Since the Theater Guild has become
the extraordinarily successful institu-
ton that it iS-our one "art theater"
it is a common enough habit for us
critics to moan over the fact tat it does
nothing but import continental classics
and never does much of anything for
the great American drama. If the great
American drama has got to be picture
of spineless weaklings, as inevitably
damned as the people of Lewis Beach's
The Square Peg" ! am not so sure
but what the Guild ought to go on dig
ging in the mine of the European thea
ter. Beach has written splendid oen-
act drama, The Clod," which is much
acted at Little Theaters about the
United States; but his new play in spite
of much good observation is just an
other of those "cat and mouse" TRACE
dies in which fate or a domineering
mother spends three acts tOrturing poor
creatures that can't escape her.
The play is pretty well acted by most
of the cast and uncOmmonly well by
William b. Mack.
John Barrymore Quits.
By and large, the New York stage
ambles along most promisingly these
days. The Moscow Art Theater is still
acting gloomy Russian tragedies" and
acting them to ecstatic audiences that
pay Moriss GeSr $4,000 each week for
the privilege of seeing such great play
ing. John Barrymore beats the record
of Booth for consecutive. performances
in Hamlet by appearing one hundred
and one times to capacity audiences
and then stops his run in mid-career
just to 90 visit his family in Europe.
There is ever joy TO be recorded in

Shuberts have remodeled the Winter
Garden and have produced therein quite
their most tasteful revue, The Dancing

cessfully acclimated in "Caroline" the
best German musical score in many
moons
