indicted. but has indicated that
two Of them may be Ralph V. NJ.
Gorsline, former vestryman. and
Miss Catherine Rastall, former
choir singer in the murdered pas
tors church.
When, after four years Of denial.
the pair went before the grand
jury TO say they were nearby at
the time of the murder, a juror.
according to Mr.. Simpson, demand
cd TO know if Gorsline could not
be held for perjury. Afterward the
prosecutor declared that Gorsline
had not told all he knew.
Mr.. Simpson declares he has an
other witness whose name has not
been revealed who can support the
story, for four years unsupported,
80 rio
raiser, who claims to have been
present at the murder of DR.. Hall
and Mrs. Eleanor Mills.
Not only did witnesses fall to
support a fishing alibi Of Henry

B0GOSLOF island
AGAIN CUTTING UP
Here The World Again Is in
The Making

Washington, Sept. T. - Bogoslof
Island. in the Aleutian chain off
Alsskas mainland, has been in erup-
ton again.
A Japanese ship sighted Bogoslof
In volcanic action and radioed st.
Paul Island of the Pribilofs, where
the United States government main
tains a. guard over the fur seal herds.
ST. Paul radioed Cordova, Alaska, a

OF this curious volcanic island which
is UP one day and down the next
Begoslof is Just north and west OF
Dutch Harbor which, two years ago,
was a vital air port for the Ameri-
can army round the world flyers. 1t
is not safe to give the dimensions OF
Bogoslof Island Tomorrow they
may be different. Probably the re-
cent eruption has made all current
information out OF date.
Up From the Ocean Bottom
RogoslQf takes its name from n
Russian admiral who discovered 1t in
1890. At that time 1t was but one
island now called Castle Island. In
1885 Bogoslofs Jack in the Box
stunts began to be known. A new
companion to Castle Island appear
cd which was called Fire Island. At
f,rst the two were connected but
when American navy officers visited
the place in 1900 the land "hyphen'
had sunk. Observations at that
time showed that Bogoslot was real
lya deep sea volcano. Less than four
miles away the ocean is 5000 feet
deep.
A Communication to the National
Geographic Society in 1909 report
Cd that four years earlier a new
peak on Bogoslof appeared between
the two recorded.
This peak was surveyed by the Of,

UNUSUAL CRITICISM
Jap Critic Says Mccormack "Suf-
located Audience But Meant He
cleft Audience Breathless."

st. Paul Mimi. Sept. II P -
John Mccormack, the famous
Irish tenor, likes to read criti-
cisms Of his singing. but when a
Japanese critic said the singer
"suffocated" his audience, that was
too much.
Discussing the incident here to-
day, Mccormack said he read a
review, translated from Japanese
into English, in which it gave the
startling information that "Mr.
Mccormack suffocated his aud
ience."
1T seemed case for investisa-
ton" the singer declared. The
critic meant Mccormack learned,
that the singer left the audience
breathless."

q have just invited that nice Mir. Hathaway 10 go with us to dinner tonight, Judy"
 Then, as always. when I thought of Jerry I wondered if l were really in love with him.
 Was it love when one had feel ing of the absolute depcndability of a man? Since the first night l had known Jerry Hathaway l had not felt alone. I knew that in whatever dilemma l would find myself I could rest upon his sure aid 10 help mo out.
 "But," ] asked myself If I loved him we'll enough to lie myself to him for life why should l have this heart fluttcring and surprised at the sight of John Meredith. at the touch Of his hand. yes even at the sound of his carcssing voice Q"
 Was ever a girl who prided her self on her decision of character so undecided; was ever a girl so hard and cold that she weighed ono man against another and used her own brain for the balance?

swimming Right away Reddy saw that there were two long feelers, like the feelers of a Lobster. The lit tle fellow was shaped very much like q Lobster. There were no big pinch ing claws, but there were legs like a Lobster's legs, and the tail re- minded him of q Lobster's tail.
 "Pooh." exclaimed Reddy. That's young Lobster. Any one should know that"
 What is a young Lobster" in quired Q voice from overhead.
 Reddy and Jimmy looked up to discover Graywing the Gull right above the little pool. What is a young Lobster?" he repeated.
 Hes right down there on the sand in the middle of this little pool" said Reddy. '"I don't see any young Lobster,' said Graywing.
 That's probably because he's so much the color of the sand" replied Reddy. He is right there. Jimmy and l can see him."
 No, you can't" rctortod Cray wing.
 "We can, too, cant we, Jimmy" exclaimed Reddy angrily. ! We can see something that looks as if 1t might be a young Lobster, " declared Jimmy.
 That is different" said Cray wing. T can see that, too. Neighbor Fox simply Is mistaken in thinking | it Is a young Lobster. It is Shrimp, and it will never be any bigger ! than it is now"
 The body of this little fellow was about two inches long. Later both Reddy and Jimmy found some that were smaller. Had they lived down south on the seacoast they would have found some considerable larg, CT. Some are called Shrlmps and some are called Prawns, but all look very much alike.
 'Is it good to cat?" asked Reddy looking up.
 Indeed, it is," was Graywing'' prompt reply. Just sCoop nm o"' and try him."
 But when Reddy started to dc this the Shrimp disappeared in the sand.
 GraywinF laughed. "Ncver mind Reddy," said he, you'll probablN find lots of them washed up by th' tide. You made a mistake, but don't wonder at it, at all shrimp! certainly do look as if they nigh be young I.obsters."

A day frock typical of the pres ent elaborate mode shows an in teresling usc of matching velvet trimming. This fabric appears on the skirt in the form of petal-like pieces pointed at the top and cut in an oval line on the lower edge. Velvet is also used to make the major portion Of the sleeves, and again a pointed cut is apparent. The rest of this engaging dress is faille crepe in mascara red. The trimming consists of q deep oval yoke of gold embroidered net over q foundation of flesh colored chif- ion.
 | In silhouette, this dress Is a | happy combination of straight lines { and softly fluttering effects The ! contour is slim and close-fitting the entire length, giving an appear ance of both slenderness and i height The severity of this line is i offset by the loose pieces on the ! front of the skirt which. while con- stantly in motion, in no way impair the effect of tailored trimness.
 Another smart note is the wide | girdle worn swathed about the hips This is of faille fastened with ( jewcled buckle.
 The pointed pieces on the skirt
 end the major portion of tht sleeves, of this mascara rcd faillt dress arc of matching velvet. Tho yoke is gold net.

This was his greeting as l looked up from a chaise tongue where l vas luxuriously established, reading q volume of medieval lore in which l hoped to find something I needed in my work, something which had eluded me for days.
 Yes, I am," I answered, carefully matching his tone. "Is it warmer out?"
 He cast an enigmatic glance at me.
 "You are Still My Man"
 "Promises 10 be considerably warmer" he said, and l fancied l caught the malicious edge of a double meaning in his tones. Where is everybody"
 Katherine is out with Junior, Mary hasn't come home yet from her French lessons, and Katie has gone to the market
 He nodded, I thought with satis- faction, and went into his own room, from which he presently emerged in the dinner coat which it is his invariable custom to put on when We are living in the city. On the farm he appears to strain 6 point in wearing the most disreput- able apparel he can find. 1 glanced at him obliquely and was thrilled, as I always am at his undeniably good looks and air of distinction. No one knew better than l that we stood, as did Jean Ingelow's lovers, upon the opposite banks of a tiny stream of distrust and resentment, which If we did not look out, might become a might river too broad and deep for our crossing. I realized also that the knowledge did not affect me as it would have done even q year ago. But there stirred in me, nevertheless, the possessive little pride which always has been mine when I look at my husband, and l murmured to myself, "T'here may be trouble ahead, but as yet you are stil my man, MINE"

Didky's CaImness Before an Emo
 tional storm.
 Dicky came home exceptionally early in the afternoon following my luncheon with Philip Neritzen at the restaurant where he and Edith Fairfax also had been lunching. All the afternoon I had been nervously dreading his coming, for l feared l was in for bod quarter Of an hour. His apparent nonchalance when he had come over to speak 10 us and his cordial greeting of MT. Neritzen had not deceived me, for l saw smoldering in his eyes the quick jealous anger which Is his at any manifestation of interest in me on the part of some personable man. I expected an explosion when he finally should have the opportunity to speak to me alone.
 I was conscious of one formidable weapon, ready to my hand, in the battle which I foresaw. That was the undeniable fact that Diclty had been lunching with Edith Fairfax. I had known for some time that they frequently lunched together, ostensibly because they needed to talk over in the luncheon hour the work of the magazine whose owner ship they had taken over, and the management of which Dicky had been compelled to turn over mostly 70 Edith because of his press of illustration orders. And, l reflected, I also had the excuse of talking over work with my employer and when Dicky's key turned in the lock, l gripped that weapon hard.
 Dicky Controls His Anger.
 But when he came In l saw at once that he meant to be exceeding Iy nenchalant and airy. and ] watched him warily, for 1t Is one Of his most difficult moods 10 under stand. I can read his tempers and his sulks with the ease of long prac- tice, but his lighter moods l can not always fathom.
