chap Who sat in the back arbor with
Katie, at about one o'clock that night.
In fact, the young fellow has declared
himself certain that it was Heath who
sneaked away from the house. Well.
the whole thing occurred after that,
do you see? Very likely Mrs. Heath
saw her husband out, and locked the
door after him. He was in the habit.
I'm told Of going off to New York sud-
denly and Unexpectedly, and nobody
thought anything Of it. Then, say
| Mrs. Heath came back to the studio.
Somebody came to her there, and that
somebody killed her. It must have
been somebody in the house. As TO the
question of Miss Moore, there are too
many positive bits Of evidence against
that girl to let suspicion stray in any
other direction. She was in love with
the husband, therefore, of course,
jealous Of the wife,"
"Look here, Mott" Larry burst

we have reason to believe she has
knowledge of Mr.. Heath's movements.
He doubtless knows of her crime, and
is lying low against the time when
she can get away and join him. Then
they will both disappear and never
be heard Of again"
"You know this?" asked Cunning
ham. gravcly.
"Not BY actual proof, but, by the
strongest implications. And here
comes my messenger now, with word
of Heath's present whereabouts"
Mott unfolded q note brought him

The Bankers private Array"
minneapolis Journal)

Governor Blaine Of Wisconsin, who is seeking Sem
ator Lenroots seat in the senate finds it expedient
to condemn the plans of the Wisconsin bankers for
vigilante organization to prevent bank robberies.
The state federation Of labor has similar msgivngs
about any such dastardly scheme to create "a pri-
vate army"
But both the candidate and the federation have
just as lively msgivings about creating state con-
stabulary to fight the bank robbers and the high
waymen. That would not do at all, because if such
force were organized it might be used in some in
dustral controversy against the socalled interests
Of labor
In Minnesota, as in several other states the re-
fusal Of the legislature to provide state police
force with which to meet the new crime conditions
brought about by good roads and stolen cars, has
forced the bankers to take for the protec-
ton Of their depositors' money They have taken
over duty and responsibility that belong to the
state, not because they wanted to, but because II
seemed necessary in view Of state neglect.
But it remained for the demagogic Blaine. with
the aid Of the Wisconsin federation to seek political
capatal n this resort t. private defense AGAINST
criminal aggression.

Unfair Criticism

The United States is at the present time the butt
of much i'll reconsideration and unmerited adverse
criticism because of the money loaned various
nations. We being represented in the role Of
Il Shylock, demanding our pound of flesh though VIC
do not need it and though it means the financial
death of the debtor.
But how wholly unfair! What a poor reward for
the millions upon millions of dollars that citizens
Of this country have donated absolutely without
thought hope Of repayment, whenever disaster
threatcned the other nations. Not only privately,
but publicly, have done this, even the government
having cancelled various debts at different times
WHEN it seemed cxpcdicnt to do SO.
But here we have billions of dollars at stake bill
lions that we cannot afford to toss lightly away.
They borrowed. The borrowers begged for
those billions but that the time has come when
they must say when and how they will discharge
their honest debts, they. like many another debtor,
whine about the payment and the terms under which
they must act.

concerning this feeling against U.S. He says that it

Color Trend in
| Automobile Bodies

Colorful gowns, colorful hats. col
orful hosiery, colorful, slippers, and
now the American girl, the world s
most colorful maiden, is turning
her discerning and despotic eyes
upon the color of her motor car.
w. r. Miner. Oakland body engi-
neer, and a leading authority, claims
that there is marked trend toward
color in motor car bodies and that the
feminine influence has been the great
est single factor in bringing this
about.
THE American girl has street colors,
sport colors; she has afternoon shades
and evening tints; she has spring
colors and fall colors and numerous
other reasons for color all of which
make her the most colorful young
lady in the world" he says.
THE modern girl tells us there Is
as much freshness in the color of a
new gown as there is in the change of
it's style line. Both are essential, she
claims. A new shade of blue has been
known to travel in popularity from
coast to coast in a few weeks; a sim
gle new tint has been known to be-
come popular the country over, al

the street. provided the child 1,

normal.
Where a child nine years of age
sought to recover for injuries In
fiicted by an automobile, but was not
permitted to testify at the trial be-
cause he had not sufficient intellt-
gence to comprehend the nature of
an oath, he cannot be held to the
same degree of care that Is exacted
of a mature person.
In a case where an automobilist
struck boy at street crossing
while driving with only one hand on
the wheel and looking to one side, 1t
was held that the circumstances
were proper for the jury to con-
slider. In other words. 1t was mat
ter of fact for the jury.
In an action by a child between
three and four years of age to re-
cover for injuries inflicted by the
defendants automobile, there was
evidence that the driver could have
seen the child fifty feet away and in
time to have brought his machine
under control, but the driver at
tempted to pass behind the child
who became frightened and ran
back. and in that case it was held
to be case for the jury because
they might find that the defendant
automobilist was negligent in not
coming to stop when he must have
known that children of that tender
age might do the unexpected thing.
A motorist who sees a child in
the street does not discharge his full
obligation by merely blowing the
horn and thus give a signal of his
approach. He must keep his car
under control and be able. at all
times, to stop it though he might
not be held negligent If the child
turned quickly and ran into his auto
mobile, for the automobilist had, at
all times, his car under control and
mindful of the dangerous conditions
under which he was operating.
1t was held in one case to be an
act of gross negligence to drive an
automobile through large crowd of
playful noisy children at the rate of
I five or six miles an hour and that
when driving through a crowd of
| children the operator must exercise
| care commensurate with the ex-
| igencies of the situation.
Where a child ran out from in
front of an ice wagon, standing on
it's right hand side of the street,
and directly in the path of an auto
mobile which was being operated

covery.
