Knack of Giving One

You don't have to be a Sherlock
Holmes to be n hotel clerk, but the
chances are if you pick that profess
sion you will develop into pretty
good detect-tuvc.
That's why so many people are in
clined TO be the least bit timid or
backward on approaching the desk tc
register, and when the clerk says "a
room with a bath?" they can't say
no, and maybe they don't need bath.
It's not that they are guilty that
makes them have this feeling of fear
but it is just the fact that they know
the hotel clerk can get the low down

Mrs. Andover Throws Acid
in Luella's Face as
She Quizzes Bailiff.
CHAPTER AZ.

The bailiff, in his bedroom
in the servants quarters,
was still wrapped in drunken
slumber. 1t was impossible
to rouse him, and still more
Impossible to get any ade-
quate information from him.
Mrs. James Andover then
did a curious thing. She
packed a trunk with all the
heavy silver ornaments and plate AMI
candelabra that she could lay her
hands on. From the moment she had
arrived at the hacienda she had had
her covetous eyes upon this plate,
which was quite valuable, inlaid and
ornamented in the Spanish style.
When no one was about she ordered
a couple of negro servants to carry
the heavy trunk and place it in the
tonneau Of her car. 49,.
Shortly before the evening meal, she
had an unexpected glimpse Of Jake
Timkins staggering down to the barn
that was their rendezvous.
"I1l give him a fright" She fol-
lowed the lurching bailiff, at a dis
Greet distance, fearing she might be
watched. But when she came upon
the scene, the man was not alone.
Miss Luella Loder was there, and
plying him with questions.
$50 you and your wife altered the
date on Jerry's birth certificate" Lu-
ella was repeating. Don't you know
you might both be Jailed"
She got no further, for with a
sound that was almost like scream,
Jerry's mother rushed in on her.
"You low cat, spying on drunken
man, Get out of here, | tell you,
and never show your face again, or

And as for you, you"--she turned to
the dazed and covering bailiff with
volley Of imprecations-"you1l pay
for this! You'll"
Lucia interrupted, her voice high
with excitement and exultation.
"You will both pay for what you've
done. shan't spare either Of you.
Neither will the law. I'm going
straight to tell Philip Andover Of how
you tried TO cheat him out of his
inheritance, pretending that Jerry
Jerry Timkips tones rang with
seorn-"was Jerry Andover, the
heir"
"IH see you dead first" shrieked
Jerry's mother, suddenly swOoping
and lifting a great can of sulphuric
acid that stood in corner Of the
barn. This is the short way with
rats like you! III mar your beauty .

Laeila's awful scream of agony re-
sounded as the woman flung the scar
ing acid in her face.

WATER SHORTAGE IN. KUSKOKMMREC|0V
 HOLDS BACK MINING
LETTER TO FAIRBANKS MAR SEALS OFFICE TELLS OF MIN ING AND FUR FARMING IN THE McGRATH DISTRICT

MIHeTS III lHe MCHldlH SCSIAoA have been held back considerably this spring for lack of water, and on the Ophir side are not only short of wat CT but are unable to get their supplies up owing to the low stage of water in the Takotna river, according to letter received at Fairbanks from Peter McMullen, deputy at McGrath Larson, the freighter who handles all the freight between Takotna and Me Grath tried to get up with some perishables after the first boat arrived but got within 20 miles of Takotna and had to transfer to polling boats and is now tied up at McGrath wait ing for it to rain. The dredge on Candle creek has laid off the night shift. Owing to the lack of water one shift can keep up with the ground sluicing.
 A mining deal of some importance to the camp was concluded recently at McGrath when Charles Pearson and John Strand gave an option on their quartz property up the Nixon to Charles and Dolph Mespelt, Leo Rodri- que and Waino Puntila. This is the property the Treadwell people took an option on the spring of 1920 for half million dollars. They put ten stamp mill on the ground, and after Operat- ing for several seasons gave it up. Since that time, however, Pearson and Strand have opened up some very rich ore. Just how extensive it is remains to be seen. Mespelt and his assocl- ates have secured from the Treadwell people a lease and option on the mill.
 A number of fur farms have been started in the McGrath district, MT. reports. Greg Stewart and SOB are going into the business on a large scale. They are busy now put ting up building pens. Arthur Berry has at present twelve pair of marten, and though he has also captured a number of beaver, he has not had good luck with them. Dan McRae is starting the business with six marten. Tn the Lake Minchumina district Jes- SC Yoder and Louis Blackburn are starting fur farms.
 Frank Joaquin and his associates have started up the old |. D. Co. dredge on Gaines creek and are re- ported to be doing very we'll. This is the dredge that was hauled all over Alaska and finally landed on Gaines creek. The Plume Dredge company shipped in on the first boat two large diesel engines for their dredges on Yankee and Little.
 The first boat from Bethel arrived on the 23rd of June, five days earlier than the former record. The camp is we'll supplied with meat since Dave Mutchler arrived from Bethel with his cold storage barge we'll loaded.
