SYNOPSIS: A dangerous sit uation faced Tom Grenofen- Professor Laxton was talking interminably inside the Creno- fen home as Veronica's mysteri ous fugitive drove up in a taxi. Tom meets the man who is to be known as Cousin John Merriweather during his visit, a strange figure in disheveied clothes, hair clipped close to his head, many days growth of beard on his face. Cousin John is alarmed at sight of Laxton through the uncurtained win dow and hides in the shubbery until the professor leaves. Only then does he enter the house and almost immediately asks Tom to place a dilapidated bag, which he is carrying, into a safe, explaining to his astound- cd host that it's contents are ire -mendously valuable.

cropped head. Even the hunted expression of his eyes had declined a little. He apologized for his ap petite. At the end of his meal, having eaten platefull of rasp- berries, he said;
 T wonder if I might? It's so long since I tasted"
 He broke off short as my mother refilled his plate. He treated her with a kind of queer, grave cour- tesy, half humble, half equal. As for me, he seemed to be weighing me up, speculating whether I could be trusted, whereas he had im- plicit faith in my mother from the first moment. A settled conver- sation was difficult. He was clear ly afraid of it. He would begin a revealing sentence and drop it un- completed.
 The one thing he talked out was Laxton. He had an overpowering desire to know about the professor. When he learned that I made the channel through which Laxton had come, he gnawed on the fact as a terrier does a bone, and licked 1t, and paved it about.
 I said nothing of my visit with Laxton to the Newplace cloisters. But he returned again and again to Laxtons arrival at Woodcot, the time, the circumstances.
 The last episode of that agitated day was almost as bizarre as any.
 Cousin John had accepted a cigarette from me and risen from the table. He turned to look round the dining room, and I saw him stiffen as his glance fell on the window he had sat at table with his back to it. The summer eve ming was warm; we always kept our windows wide open.
 Cousin Johns fingers were clenched and he drowned heavily

DOUG WHIPS THUGS r
 BY THE SHIPL0AD

A long awaited attraction at the Liberty is Douglas Fairbanks in "The Black Pirate" tonight.
 Manager Ott feels that he has been exceptionally fortunate in ob- taining this screen classic and urg- es all his patrons not to overlook this opportunity of seeing it. The Black Pirate" is a rousing tale of the sea with Fairbanks rompins with high enthusiasm on adven- lures amid buried treasure, plank walking, and pirate battles. Two ships are sunk in the picture. Doug does many athletic stunts and some distinctively appealing love-making
 Billie Dove is the leading lady and the star whips whole shipload of pirates to win her. er

DOUGLAS NEVIS 
GRAY SUCCEEDS TO CITY
 CLERKSHIP; BLISS IS
 NEW MARSHAL, DOUGLAS

Following the resignation of L. D. Hammock as city clerk of Doug las, Felix Gray was chosen to fill out the unexpired term at the regular meeting of the council last night. Interference of the clerk ship duties with his other work and plans. caused MT. Hammock to re- sign and the selection of MT. Gray, who has served six previous success sive councils in the position, was unanimous with the present coun- Gil, and is a tribute to his faithful and liberal service.
 Arne Shudshift was elected a member of the aldermanic board upon the resignation of Harold Me Connell, who expects to be absent from town most of the winter. Another change in the person. mel of city employees was effected in the election of O. H. Bliss, suc- ceeding w. J. Grant as city mar shal. The latter has served in the office for a number of years and has other plans. The new marshal, who has resided in the community for a little over year has good qualifications for the DO sition.
 Some property transfers were or dered at the meeting, in the sale tt E. B. Dudden of Lot 25 in Block 23, on Front street, and to Mrs Rose Davis Lots and in Blocl 43, on St. Ann's Avenue, where sht intends to build home next year Property repairs to be undertaken at once are the tearing down of th' Lockhart house and improving tn sidewalk there, and repair of tn Liberty theatre.

"Oh, donti" cried my mother. "Go along with Tom"
 Bring the bag this way said I, and he followed me into the studio.

 "At last" he said. But the words were addressed to himself.
 I took him to the bathroom There he caught sight of himself in the big glass. thought he would fall as he staggered back against me. Then he burst into uncon- trollable oaths. stole away saying:

 Have we been sitting with the window like that all the time?" he asked.
 I nodded
 What madness!" he muttered, and drew the curtains across.

 He relaxed and said a word of apology to my mother. He slept in the room Laxton had occupied the night before. When went to see him in the morning he said he thought the best thing he could do was to report sick and stay in his room till he had news Then nobody who might hear of Cousin John would be surprised il he was never visible.

some intention. AS soon as open ed the paper I saw it. She wanted me to reflect before exclaiming.
 The paper contained a short and extremely sketchy account of the affair at Newplace A b b y-the shooting of Pell through the key hole by some unknown marauder who had half murdered Professor Iaxton before wholly murdering Pell
 I gathered that this would be the trend of the evidence at the in quest. that the assistance of Scot land Yard had been called in, and the most efficient "sleuths" who inhabited the Yard would devote themselves to the chase of the mys- terious murderer.
 All of which seemed pretty tame beside the actuality.
 And it was not the report of the Newplace affair that had startled my mother and now made me sweat until I went cold.

THE BLACK BAG

After his first hesitation, Cousin John made the startling request in a matter of fact style, as if he were asking us to take care of his umbrella.
 It is not easy to describe the ef- feet of the announcement, by a man with a head cropped as his was, that he had a secret of ap- parently momentous value in an old black bag.
 Even my mother was taken back for a moment. But she recovered her aplomb.
 "Oh?" said she. Tom will see to that, and he'll look you out some things, Cousin John"

And this enterprising magnate startled
his customers not so long ago by in
stalling washing machine. Strange
ly. it doesn't wash anything.
After the potatoes have been wash
ed, peeled and sliced, much water re-
mains in them. which isn't sQ,good,
because the wetness makes them
harder to cook.
So this ingenious dealer dries the
slices in washer. No, he doesn't
put them through wringer. There
is no wringer. He spins the water
out Of the slices by centrifugal force
in the washers water-extractor. It
whirls at tremendous speed and the
water flies out, just as it does when
the housewife uses an Identical ma
chine for clothes drying. Then the
delicate slices are taken out unhurt,
since the extractor has no perfora-
tic" to cut or break them. Spinner
washers have been put to many I'M

maker Of Abe washing machines.
