Madge Undcrgoes a Weird
Experiencc

The pain OF the gag which Fanny
Powell effectively but unskillfully
had placed in my mouth kept me
from observing her closely at first.
She went to the closet door and,
rummaging in It, drew forth the
satchel which had been chained 10
her wrist when Lillian first saw
her on the train. But away back
In my brain there sounded famil-
lar little warning note, and ! told
myself that as the only action per-
mitted me was close scrutiny of
the girls behavior, must let no
physical discomfort hamper my
watch OF her.
still chung to my belief, shared
by all OF us who had observed the
girl, that in the beginning, when
Lillian took her from the train, she
really had been suffering from am
nesia, and that her lack of memory
had persisted until the sight Of Lee
Chow brought her back to remem-
brance. Then she began a clever
imitation OF the aiIment which
really had afflicted her at first. If
this hypothesis were true. I would
be able, by her reaction to the con-
tents Of the suitcase, TO recon-
struct some fragment, even If I'M
important, OF the conditions sur
rounding that valise when it was
first fastened to her wrist.
The key to the satchel l had
laid In a conspicuous place upon
the dresser when katherine and /
had set the stage for the little
scene which was being played in
such different fashion than we had
planned. While she fumbled with
the lock found my memory
flashing back to the picture Of that
salise when Lillian and l had OPEN
ed 1t. We had found it crammed
full OF packages Of banknotes,
which we later discovered to be
counterfeit save for the twenties,
which were at the top and bottom
OF every carefully bound package.
While Lillian had not definitely
concluded that the money original
ly in the valise was that over the
loss OF which Hugh Grantland was
so tragically concerned, yet the
fact that the satchel was in the
possession Of Fanny Powell, the
army officers former stenographer,
made that conjecture most plausi-
Bile. She had disappeared at nearly
the same time as that which
marked Hugh Grantland's mys-

Almost anyone would envy me,

satisfy any of my demands, two
beautiful children, a wonderful home
that just suits me, and yet, some
thing is always turning up which
makes me feel that 7 would give any

Just little old bungalow and Jack
and 7 might be in moderate circum-
stances.
As 1t is, my husband is always
getting into some sort of trouble. as
you know, Little MarQuise. At that
I really do not think he means to do
anything wrong. He Just hates his
own company and never considers
consequences when his impulses are
concerned.
When we arrived at our home,
Jack put his arms around me and
kissed me goodbye at the door. He
is not usually so demonstrative and
I was rather surprised until he said,
Don't look now but there are a re-
porter and a camcrman across the
street, and il they must have a story
for their papers, they might as we'll
have a good one" With this he
drove away and 7 rushed up the
stairs to the children.
The nurse met me at the door of
the nursery saying that Buddy was
little peevish and calling for me

PEklNG WELCOMES TROLLEYS
 WITH CHEERFUL FESTIVITIES

PEKING, Feb. 13.-The street rail- way has become an actuality in Pe- king after overcoming various techni- cal and financial difficulties, and much opposition on the part of guilds and chambers of commerce. Notwithstand- ing several postponments during the past ten months, the enterprise has at last been launched with appropriate ceremonies, including the cutting of a gigantic cake and official trolley par ties in wonderfully bedecked cars.
 Opposition to operation of the cars has been based ostensibly on the hard ship they would impose upon ricksha coolies through loss of fares. The French promoters, however, appear to have known how to overcome it, and among other things have promised to build factory wherein a lot of cool ies can find employment.

 The American audience, the speaker said, is keenly responsive. Your countrymen are sensitive, extraordi- narily so, almost as much so as the French, and their emotion is deeper" To illustrate this he told of watching a Molnar play in New York in which occurs highly emotional scene. The audience, after three minutes of tense ness, just as the curtain was falling, began to laugh. M.

CUPID HAD HAND IN
 STEALING WIDOWS CORN

BUDAPEST, Feb. 13.-One of the most unusual cases oever heard in Hungary recently was before the court in the little provincial town of Osli, when eight farmer boys caught in the act, were charged with walking off with 20 pounds of corn stolen from a widow named Voeroes. They not only pleaded not guilty despite the fact that they admitted the theft, but pro- duced sealed document from the widow in which she declared that "she and her daughter Sarika counted it an honor that Franz Kiraly (the ring leader of the eighD had considered their house worthy of this distinction.
 The judge was nonplussed T SUD- pose the widow fears your vengeance" he asked
 NO, your honor," Franz replied, for the group. You see, in our part of the country there is a custom by which every year, after the corn has been harvested, large pot of corn meal is placed on the stove in houses where there are grown-up unmarried daughters. The lover of the oldest daughter must steal this corn. To facilitate this theft the family leaves the house for half hour after the corn meal has been placed on the stove. The greatest disgrace that can happen to the family consists in the corn being left unstolen."
 The judge dismissed the case.

 But rumor of the occurrence got out and the local authorities started to investigate. They found in the field the cover of a vase that had been overlooked. It weighed 90 grams and an assay proved it to be pure gold.
