and sort of singing to himself-hor-
rible voice it was, too"
THAT sounds like Golly," frowned
Wade. What Is he doing in this
neighborhood?"
The inspectors went back to Scot
land Yard, not much wiser than they
had been when they left. Elk was
very thoughtful during the journey.
II don't like this business" he said.
Ever heard of master criminals,
johnny"
In books-yes."
i've read about 'em, too," said Elk.
st think I smell one here"
"Aikness or Golly?"
"Golly?" There was aStonishment in
Elk's voice.
"Golly." repeated Wade. mo, I'm
not joking. I'm getting wholesome
respect for that fellow. He's thorough.
I shan't forget the pansies he was for
planting over my tomb. And he's got
a sense of humor. A criminal who has
a sense of humor is the most dangerous
type of criminal"
AS they took their evening meal to-
gether, Elk was reading newspaper.
There's an idea, Johnny. The ad-
miralty are sending a destroyer up to
Greenwich to take part in some naval
cent-what's the word?"
"Centenary?" suggested Wade.
Elk folded the paper and put it
down.
why not keep a destroyer perma-
nently on duty in the mouth of the
river? Sooner or later that's the way
those fellows are going to get away.
They've lost the Seal of Troy, but
how do we know they haven't got an
other boat? They've been making mil
lions. Golly or Aikness, or whoever's
the man, has got money to burn and
can pick up ships at three a penny"
That night, by the light of an cleo
trio reading lamp, Golly Oaks read the
same item, and the same thought
struck him; but it was the thought that
followed upon the first that set this
little man aglow. So elated was he
that he forgot he was, at the moment,
waiting for news from Raggit Lane, to
whom he had given a very definite
commission.
That Lane did not carry out his or
ders to the letter was due to a brick
that had fallen from the cart of
builders lorry. It lay in the roadway
of the Strand, and the wheel of GER
tain taxicab bumped over it at criti-
cal moment.
John Wade was in the Strand at that

TWO D. c. WOMEN
GREET QUEEN MARY
Second Presentation at Court
of st. James Is Marked
by SpIendor.
BY the Associated Press.

DS tAAS AsSoSiattu IEeSS.
LONDON, May 1.-THE scene at
Buckingham Palace last night for the
second court held by Queen Mary was
almost parallel of that of Thursday
evening, although more debutantes were
presented and the rooms were very
crowded. There were nearly 1,500 guests.
a large proportion of the preSenta-
tons last night were of representatives
OF the dominionS and colonies. Eight
american women made their curtsieS to
her majesty, the same number as was
received at the first court Of the season.
Just as the public during the wait in
the Mall Thursday evening picked out
the American tennis star, Helen Wills
on whom to center their attention, so
last night Eileen Bennett, young
English player, stood out among the
debutantes.
Virginia Woman Presented.
The Americans presented last night
were: Mrs. George Barnett of Washing
ton, Miss Marie Cullun1, Pennsylvania;
Mrs. Paul Grenning, California; Mrs.
George Lawrence, ir., New York; Mar
garet McKittrick Missouri: Miss Cath
crime Norcross. Georgia; Miss Margaret
Tvner of Washington and Miss Adeline
Winston. Georgia.
last night took the place of his older
brother, the Prince of Wales, in escort
ing the Queen in the procession to the
ballroom. Queen Mary again made a
figure of regal splendor in a beautiful
gown of the palest Silver-gray mar
quisette, embroidered with diamante
and seed pearls, with gray mother-of-
pearl pailletteS and minute silver
crystals. Her sleeves of silver lace were
embroidered with similar decorations
and the train of silver cloth was en-
broidered to match the gown She wore
a diamond Russian-shaped tiara and a
soutoir of diamonds with the famous
Kohinoor diamond and Star of the
Garter.
Crowds View Procession.
The two-hour wait in the Mall before
entry of the palace was again favored
with beautiful weather and great crowds
came to see the debutantes in their
court dress as they sat in the long line
OF automobiles.
The automobile of Miss Bennett was
mobbed by excited women in the Mall
in the same way that the crowd had
pressed around that of Miss Wills on
the previous night. The police were
again obliged to surround the car to
stem the rush.

VOYAGERS TAKE TRAIN
WHILE LINER REFUELS
President Roosevelt Loads 5000
Barrels of Oil at Halifax
After Running Short.
By the Associated Press.

HALIFAX, May 11-Forced into
Halifax Harbor by a depletion of her
fuel supply, the United States liner
President Roosevelt remained here to-
day to load 5000 barrels of fuel oil,
while her passengers proceeded to New
York by special train.
Capt. Van Beck said that on May I,
the daS after the ship cleared Cobb, Irish
Free State, the low pressure turbine
broke down forcing the ship to run at
reduced speed. He said the resulting
excessive use of fuel oil depleted the
supply and that he headed for Halifax
in the interests of safety.
Passengers and some members of the
crew said the ship stopped on three oc-
casions after leaving Cobb, the last
time being Thursday night off the Nova
Scotia coast, when the engines stopped

The ship carried 90 cabin passengers
and 1873 in the third-class, all of whom
boarded the special train.
Among the passengers was Jean As

TWENTY-FIRsT INsTALLMENT.

N the afternoon John Wade received
a report that Golly had been seen
in the Noting Hill district. He
/ might have pursued a perfunctory
inquiry but for the fact that three
times in one week a report had been
received that man answering to the
description of Golly Oaks had been seen
ever, was supplemented by note to the
effect that several suspicious-looking
persons had also been seen.
Now it so happened that in Noting
Hill lived a man who, though reputedly
honest himself, knew many of the char
acters of the underworld. Dan Ricord
derived a fair income by renting out
piano-organs and ice cream barrowS. To
say that the breath of suspicion had
never furnished the brightness of his
reputation would be untrue; but it was
true that the police had never asso-
ciated him with even minor crime, un-
less it be crime to charge eXorbitantly
for the apparatus he owned.
He had a wide acquaintance, not only
among the police but also among law
breakers When John Wade and Elk
drove down to interview him, he re-
ceived them openly in his rather ornate
parlor
"Golly Oaks I knew nothing about"
he began. But I can tell you that a
lot of queer-looking fellows have been
around here lately, usually after dark

Ricord shook his head.
mo, sir. That's the funny thing. If
they we're living here, it wouldn't be
curious that they should be running
round the neighborhood."
While Wade and Elk were interview
ing Ricord, several detectives were
the neighborhood to find the
two men who said that they had seen
Oaks on the previous night. The Of
ficers were waiting for Wade when he
left Records house, to tel him that
they had found their men. Wade went
at once to question the informers, both
of whom had police records.
There's no doubt that it was Mr..
Oaks. SIR" said one of the men. II saw
him just outside the Arbroath Build

thoroughly, explained that it was a

SET PACE IN CITY
ELECTION JAN. ]
Both Men Well Known and Well
Liked Enter Contest in
Friendly Spirit
TWO FILE FOR JUDGE
Everett and Reed in Fight for
Judge; Werder and Thorp
in Council Race

When the filing day for city cleo
ton closed last Monday night, the
names of A. j. White and R. w. Serk-
land appeared among the clerks re-
cords for the office of Mayor of Red
wood Falls, Mr.. White having filed
Monday for reelection, while Mr..
Serkland, at the urge of his friends,
filed last Wednesday. The other Of
fees which will have opposition are
first ward alderman and municipal
Judge for which there are two filings
in each case.
For the office of Municipal Judge,
c. V. Everett has filed for reelection
with Thomas F. Reed as his oppon-
ent. The first ward contest will be
between H. G. Werder and H. D..
Thorp. In the second ward w. A.
Hauck, who filed for reelection as
alderman of the ward, will have no
opposition. Neither F. B. Forbes,
seeking reelection as city recorder,
nor A. F. Hassenstab as city treasur-
er are opposed.
One of the important phases of the
election is whether or not the resolu-
ton authorizing the council to adopt
plan for the development and i'm
provement of the city. This plan is
known as the Zoning Enabling Act
and will appear on the ballot as
resolution. This resolution would
give power to the selected commits
sion, to prohibit the erection of an
unsightly building for other than re-
sidence purposes on the front of a
residence lot which would materially
damage surrounding desirable resi-
dence property.

SPRINGFIELD Laid
TO REST THURSDAY
Brown County Team Throws
Scare Into Locals, Although
Lose by Is to IL Score

Pressed hard throughout to win,
Stockton's squad nosed out the
Springfield high school basketball
team by count of 16 to IL in the
second home game of the season last
Thursday night. The game was
played at the Lincoln School gym,
which was preceded by preliminary
game between Browns Junior High
squad and the Springfield Juniors in
which the locals triumphed by an
easy count of rs to 8, with Inglis get
ting away for six field goals.
In the regular contest, either
Springfield is a vastly improved
squad or the locals were not hitting
their regular stride. The question is
inclined to favor Springfield because
of its victory in the previous week
over New Ulm, team that is always
considered strong in the district.
The scoring was equally divided
with Stockton's men getting five field
goals to five for their opponents. The
difference came when the locals scor-
ed six single counters to two for the
Springfield aggregation.
Bravinder still leads the local scor-
ing with two goals of each variety
in Thursdays game. Johnson, play
ing a forward position gathered two
field goals and free shot. Tom Finn
was awarded three free throws out
of six attempts, while Laidlaw made
field goal. Schwartzrock of Spring
field led the opponent scoring with
two field goals and the same number
of free throws.
The local squad will get two weeks
rest due to holiday vacation, opening
on January 10 at Lamberton against
the strong south side quint.
The summary of the Redwood
Falls-Springfeld game is as follows:
