him, without looking az il. b,z ewes
upon the chauffeur and oa a face
a very odd expression. None of us
seemed fully able to grasp that a man
had been murdered almost before our
eyes.
Doctor King had been working over
Miss Potter, and she now opened her
eyes and glanced around wildly. She
saw the body at her feet, and with
a little cry asked. whats happenedY'
No one answered for a moment;
and then BARLEY replied sinply,
Someone has murdered the chauf-
feur."
At the word murder she e@sped and
covered her eyes with her hand. After
a moment she removed it, and STAN
mered, "H-how-whoY
No one attempted to answer. The
truth was that no one could All we
knew was that he had been killed by
the knife that was now In Bartleys
hand But how, why. and by whom
1t was done, none Of US knew. It
seemed incredible that anyone could
have crept up TO the murdered man
in the dark without being heard by
those seated on either side of him.
His cry had lasted but the bareSt
fraction of a second it seemed scarce
~ time enough between the moment
when the lights went OUT and the time
when the cry came for anyone to have
come up to him, murdered him, and
gotten away again The murder must
have been committed by someone near
him. on one side Of him had been
Miss Potter; and, on the other, Roche
Roche was above suspicion; a police
chief does not kill his prisoner unless
he attempts to escape. Then re-
membered the strange look that had
passed between Miss Potter and the
chauffeur when the latter had entered
the room.
Though there had evidently been i'll
feeling between the two, it seemed
absurd to suppose that she had killed
him. To have done it, she would have
had to have known that he would be
seated beside her. knew that no one

but the coroner had known before
hand how the witnesses would be
placed. Nor could she have known
that the lights would go out just
when they did, and thus give a chance
10 strike the blow. 1t dawned on me
at this point, that she could not
have known that the chauffeur would
be called as a witness, and might not
have even known that he had been
arrested. Yet the blow had be n
struck by some one near her, and
very near to him.
At this moment Roche hurried into
the room. his fat red face flushed to
an even redder hue, his eyes wide
and curious.

The attorney gave BARLEY an ap-

AS both King and the district attor-

room. but returned q moment later
Again we stood besitating, no one
seeming to know just what to do next,
waiting for BARLEY to take the lead.
Seeing that we were depending on

DamariscOtta Fair
Stipend for 1922
Will Be Withheld

Commissioner of Agriculture
Frank p. WaShburn announced
Thursday that he had decided to
withhold the stipend OF the Lincoln
County Fair associa ton at Damaris
Gotta for the year 1922. This action
was taken because it is alleged that
the law against games of chance,
particularly III rela ton to the wheels
of fortune. at the fair last year. was
not observed. The amount OF the sti
pend is $145.G2.
Two hearings on the matter have
been held by Commissioner Wash
burn at Damariscotta and the Incl
dent is now closed as far as the de-
partment of agriculture is concerned.
The fair officials may present a
claim to the next Legislature because
its State stipend was withheld. The
Legislature. however. refused to
grant the Topsham fair its stipend.
Commission Washburn stated
Thursday that he was much pleased
at the conditions at the Lincoln
county fair this year and that its sti-
pend for 1923 will be allowed.

Mantell to Be
Seen in Shakespeare
In Portland

Monday night. October 22nd, will
usher in what to many will be the
theatrical event of the season, when,
at the Jefferson Theatre, Portland,
Mr.. Robert B. Mantell, Americas
best loved actor and foremost expo
nent of the classic drama, ably as
sisted by the young and talented
leading woman, Miss Genevieve
Hamper. and large and capable
company, will hold the stage for the
entire week starting Monday, Octo-
Der Ind. The list of plays as ar
ranged for this engagement follows:
Monday, "Richelieu"; Tuesday,
Hamlet; Wednesday matinee, las
You Like IT,; Wednesday night,
Julius Caesar; Thursday. king
Lear; Friday, Macbeth; Saturday
matinee, Merchant of Venice;
Saturday night. "Othello."
Mr.. MantelPs mimic reincarnation
of the great characters of the classic
drama is q matter of stage history,
and no tragedian of the present day
can approach him in this line of
work. AS younger man, he de-
lighted another generation of thea
TRIGGERS in romantic plays, but we
OF today can enjoy the privilege of
seeing this great actor in truly great
plays that call for artistic authority
and poetic fervor. Mr.. Mantell tours
the country with eleven plays
eleven massive productions. He is
prepared. at a moments notice, to
assume the principal male role in
any play in his repertory,-a feat of
memory and versatility without a
parallel. Miss Hamper has gained
just renown in representations of
the heroines of Shakespeare. and as
Julie de Mortemar in "Richelieu":
she is to Mantell what Ellen Terry
was to Irving. Mr.. George Stilwell
