How about a cup Of tea?"
We sought the Palm Room, and
sat down at a table near the en-

Vance ordered oolong tea, but

Markham was tired and dispirited
and Vance was busy with the
problem that had absorbed him
continuously since Tuesday morn
ing. Never before had I seen him so
preoccupied.
We had been there perhaps half
an hour when Spotswoode strolled
in.
He stopped and spoke, and Mark
ham asked him to join us. He, too,
appeared depressed, and his eyes
showed signs Of worry.
I hardly dare ask you, Mr..
Markham" he said diffldently, after
he had ordered a ginger ale, but
how Go my chances stand now of
being called as a witness?'
THAT fate is certainly no nearer

What other staggering revela-

"Mannix will bear locking into"
Markham put down his knife and

I'm overcome! Such Himalayan

against him, he should be arrested
at once.

Markham was annoyed.
''Why so mysterous?"
"NeedS must. old chap. Gave my

Delighted! Still, can't charge a

You're so hasty! Why should
you charge him with murder?"
Vance rose and yawned.
Come. Van. I'd rather like to
gaze on Pernebs tomb at the Metro
politan this afternoon. Could you
hear it?" at the door he paused.
81 say, Markham, what about the
Boonton bailiff?"
Markham rang for Swacker.
I'll see to it at once. Drop in
at the club around five, if you feel
like it. I'll have the officer there
then, as Cleaver is sure to come in

When Vance and I returned tc

rotunda; and beside him sat tall
heavy-set, bronzed man of about
40, alert but i'll at ease.

eastman REMAINS
in SENATOR RACE
st. Cloud Man Informs Demo-
cratic Committee He Is in
Race to the Finish
WOULD ENFORCE LAWS
Declares Opposition Seeks to
Falsify His Party on Re-
turn of Saloon -

st. Paul, Sept. IL - George F..
eastman, St. Cloud, Democratic
candidate for United States sena-
tor, declared before the meeting of
the party state central committee
here today that he had no inten-
tion of withdrawing from the race.
eastman put an end to rumors
which have been current during
the past few weeks that he would
withdraw his name from the Dem
ocratic ballot in order to attract
followers of Senator Henrik Ship
stead to the cause of Governor
Smith.
The St. Cloud candidate de-
clared that the opposition sought
in every way to falsify the So
called wet and dry issue by saying
that the Democratic party and its
candidate favors the return of the
saloon and it's attendant evils.
Governor Smith has repeated
ly stated that he is opposed to the
return of the saloon," eastman de-
clared, "and the party platform
stands for enforcement of prohibi-
tion so long as it is he law of the
land.
"What Governor Smith stands
for is temperance, and we Demo-
Gratis agree with him that prohibi-
ton is not the right road to, tenn
perance.,. We want to have, if
possible, the opportunity of substi-
tuting an innocent glass of beer
for the bootleg rot-gut that is
undermining the health and morals
Of the nation"
Mayor Lawrence Hodgson, of St.
Paul, was roundly cheered, when
in his address of welcome to the
committee members, he said, 81
prefer a party that believes in
government ownership of public
utilities 10 one that believes in pri-
vate ownership of government"
The mayor said that never. be-
fore in the history of Minnesota
was the Democratic party in SC

fight we can carry Minnesota fol
Governor Smith," the mayor said
"Just this morning I was told by a
prominent Republican that if the
election were held today Smith
would win out in Minnesota by
100000 votes.
81 feel safe in predicting, that if
Governor Smith is elected presi-
dent; there will be more real con-
structive things done for the well
fare of the common people of Am
erica than under any administra-
tion since the civil war;" ~:
The meeting was presided over
by Hubert D'Autermont, Duluth,
who succeeded, William j.. Quinn,
now member of the national ad-
visory committee.

J. c. Penney Visifed
Local Store Friday
Owner of Biggest Chain Depart
ment Stores Pleased With
Sauk Centre.

Friday of last week J. C. Pen
ney, owner of the 1,024 depart
ment stores scattered from coast to
coast, bearing his name, surprised
Manager A. J. Lies and his local
associates, by making a surprise
and happy visit to the Sauk Gen.
ire branch.
MIR. Penney had been called to
the West from New York to per-
sonally superintend his prize win
ming herd of 80 head Of pure bred
Guernseys at the Minnesota State
fair.
The gentleman was inspecting
his stores in this section, his iesti-
nation being Grand Forks, N. D.,
where he was to visit his nephew,
D. E. Whitman, who is manager of
the Penney store in that city.
Mr.. Penney was delighted with
Sauk Centre and with the condi-
tion of his business, complimenting
Manager Lies and his assistants
upon the manner in which the
store was being conducted.
The development of Mr.. Pen
ney's idea started with small
store at Kemerer, Wyoming, &c
years ago and has been one of the
marvels of the business world.
Manager Lies Monday received
the blue prints for the complete
remodeling of the interior of The
Leader store recently leased from
Thos. Sullivan for a long term of
years. Mr. Lies stated that the
improvements must be completed
in time for the company to take
possession not later than Nov. /.

Stage Musical Comedy
"Sixty Miles An Hour" Will
Abound With Snappy Music
and Pretty Girls

Sauk Centre folks will recall
with pleasure the splendid musical
comedy Sweetheart Town., pre-
sented under the auspices of the
Women's Auxiliary of Robert
Swift Post, last October.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted with the Ingram Company
to present another sparkling mu-
sical comedy entitled "Sixty Miles
an Hour"
"Sixty Miles An Hour" is a rail
road comedy which takes place at
the time of the late war. The
first and third acts take place in a
small Ohio town, called Durkin
Corners, while the second act is
laid in France.
The play is a story Of a young
ambitious railroad fireman who
enlists in the army of the world
war to avoid marrying certain
prominent spinster and in so do
ing further complicates his affair
with the girl of his choice. How
the various characters meet in
Paris on the first Armistice Day
and how the young fireman later
! stops the midnight Filler which
hasn't stopped at Durkin Corners
since the days of President Nc.
Kinley, and now this same young
fireman finally becomes president
of the railroad are details explain
ed in the succeeding action of the
story.
"Sixty Miles An Hour" has g
distinct plot, much more so thar
the average musical comedy. 1t is

Volunteer Fire Fighting
Problem For Small Cities
Stringent State Law Regulating
Traffic Following Sending
In of Alarm.

At the recent ANNUAL Northwest
Fire School held at the University
of Minnesota attended by Chief
George Fish and Alderman Charles
Gray many things were brought
out which are of interest to the
general public. y
One of the speakers took up the
matter of traffic and suggested,
that a law should be passed COM
pelling every person who purchas-
ed an auto license to. sign a pledge
agreeing to assist all fire depart
ments when an alarm of fire was
turned in, stating they can best do
that by pulling to the side of the
road and staying there until all
fire apparatus and fremen have
passed.
The state law provides that no
auto or vehicle or any other OBJ
struction can be parked within Is
feet of any hydrant. The law also
provides that the Chief of the Fire
Department has full police power
at fire. He may give orders to
the crowd to move and if the ord
ers are not obeyed. he may arrest
and order any Of his men to arrest
the disobedient. The law also pro
vides that no auto or vehicle can
approach within five hundred feet
of any fire apparatus while that
apparatus is functioning at fire.
A severe penalty of $1,000 or one
year in Jail is provided.
One of the Minnesota depart
ments sent in false alarm recent
ly for the purpose of giving the
public an object lesson in iobeying
the traffic law. Forty arrests fol
lowed.
Chief U. C. Norton, of Winona,
claimed that 90 per cent of the
fires were caused by carelessness.
Carelessness starts with lack OF
/ fire prevention. Every business
house and public building should
he inspected by fire wardens at
least twice year. Inspection
should be by a competent person.
All oil and gas tanks used for sto-
rage purpose should have loose
lids on their man holes, so that
should they get on fire the lid
would blow off avoiding the danger
of killing some one.
The character of men desired
for volunteer fremen was widely
discussed. The best results are OBJ
tanned if they are both physically
and morally fit. The pay of the
volunteer fireman is a problem for
every community. The school dis
closed that the fireman's pay var
led considerably. Some towns pay
up to $1.00 per hour for each call
others pay a flat rate of $1.00 to
$500 per call.
