GO in" he managed to bring out,
and strengthened the order with an
imperative gesture.
Plainly Miss Adams was not the
type of nurse who accepted orders
from every one who chose to give
them. She hesitated, and raped a
third time. Still receiving no reply
she turned the knob and entered the
bedroom, leaving the door ajar be-
hind her. Hamilton remained close
to the open door, but he did not look
into the room beyond it. Instead he
wheeled and stared hard at the oppo-
site wall, telling himself there were
half dozen reasons why the girl in the
inner room might not have heard those
three decided taps.
Miss Adams reappeared, and now
she was obviously disturbed.
"We mustn't assume too much" she
said kindly, with an understanding
glance at his agitated face. "You said
she was frightened, and in such con-
ditions patients do strange things. I've
looked out of the window" she added
calmly; and again he felt his scalp
prick. There's nothing wrong in
the street Or course she may be
somewhere else in the hotel"
He found his voice.
you're perfectly sure she isn't in
these rooms?" he asked.
Quite sure" Miss Adams smiled
austerely. 1--we looked in the closet
and even under the bed"
"May l look?"
"Of course, if you like"
Her manner nicely combined with
its professional courtesy an intima-
ton that he would be wasting his
time, but be pushed past her even
before she could move to one side.
The room had the look of having
been unoccupied for days.
The words of the nurse made him
swing around toward her.
Here's the way she left" she said.
He had noticed another door with a
bolt on the inside. 1t led from the
bedroom and he had taken for granted
that it was part of the adjoining suite
and was locked. Now he saw that
the bolt had not been shot. The nurse
held the door ajar, revealing glimpse
of side corridor past its threshold.
Easiest thing in the world" he
conceded. "She packed, stole out
through that door and along that back
corridor to rear staircase, and prob
ably got away without being seen by
any one. But how about her hotel
bill? Do you think she'd forget
that?"
Miss Adams looked thoughtful.
"She might. They do all sorts of
queer things when they're not nor
NAL"
He had been staring down unsee-
ingly at a little writing stand, but
now he caught a faint suggestion of
penciling on the top envelope of the
pile of hotel paper.
Here's something" he cried, and
picked up the envelope. Then his ex-
preston changed. 1t was addressed
to Doctor Carrick.
"Where did you find that?" the nurse
demanded. She had been standing on
the threshold, looking down the hall,
but turned back into the room at the
sound of his voice.
"On the table, on top of this little
heap of stationery. 1t looked like all
the other envelopes, for the name is
written on it very family, with a
hard pencil. I didn't notice it till
now."
He felt the envelope.
"Lordl I wish I dared to open
it," he muttered.
Hamilton hurried from the room
At the hotel office desk he asked for
a match and lit his cigarette with

SHERLOCK

The death of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle at II removes from the earth
ly scene the creator of one of the en-
during characters in fiction and the
father of new school of story writ
ing.
Educated as a physician, Conan
Doyle early turned to literature, and
while he wrote several historical
novels of great merit, his immense
success was with his stories of the
super-detective, Sherlock Holmes.
Literally millions of copies of his
books about Sherlock Holmes have
been sold, and the name is familiar
wherever English is spoken. Il
No real detective ever did things
the way Sherlock Holmes did, but
that makes no difference. What
readers of detective stories want is
not fact but illusion.

TEMPERATURE

An Italian inventor has developed
heat-cooling furnace for domestic
use. The same apparatus which keeps
the house warm in Winter will draw
the heat from the air in Summer
and keep it cool.
Scientists have known for eighty
years that this could be done, but the
cost has made it impractible. Now
Professor E. Guarini, of Milan, claims
to have found a practical method of
making such a refrigerator-heater.
The use of such means of artifi-
cial cooling requires all windows tc
be tightly closed. Outside of the
United States, however, few people
ever open their windows and it
should not be difficult to provide for
artificial ventilation to take the place
of direct fresh air from outside.

HEAVY BALLOT is
EXPECTED IN
PRIMARY

Judging from the way registra-
tioIlS OF voters are pouring into the
office Of the county recorder, Mrs.
Ada jones, the primary election on
September will see one of the
largest ballots ever polled in Santa
Cruz county.
And, Of those who have registered,
|, the democrats are overwhelmingly
in the majority. Up to Saturday the
recorder had counted registrations
OF 1909 democratic voters and an
even 500 republicans. There were al
so some fifty or more socialists and
pronibitionists, bringing the total re-
gistration up to 1850.
More came in yesterday but were
not counted yet Considerably more
than 1900 are now on file but they
have all not been counted and class
flied as to party affiliations.
Next Saturday, August 8, is the
final day on which a citizen can re-
gister to vote and local political
leaders are busy apprising their con-
stituents Of this fact SO as to bring
out as strong a vote as possible.
For the enlightenment of young
men and women who have just
reached their maturity and also Of
women who have not as yet exer-
ciSed the right of franchise, it is
pointed cut that in registering, the
citizen is required to give his Or her
name and age and place Of resi-
dence and must state with which
party he Or she is affiliated. If there
are no party affiliations the citizen
seeking the right to vote must say
!so. After registering, voter cannot
change party affiliations. In other
words, one who registers as a dem
ocrat will be required to vote the
demOcraC1c TICKET IN the primary.

MOUNTAINS

The highest peak east of the Miss
issippi isn't as high as had been
thought. The United States Geologi-
cal Survey has made new survey of
Mount Mitchell, in North Carolina,
and finds that it is 6,684 feet above
sea level, or a feet lower than
former figures.
Only few mountains in the East
approximate a mile in height. Cling
mans Dome, Tennessee, is 6,644 feet,
only 40 feet lower than Mount Nit
chell Mount Washington, in New
Hampshire, is 6,288; Mount Rogers,
Virginia, 5,7l9 feet; Mount Katahdin,
Maine, 5,2o8 feet, or IL feet less than
a mile. The highest American noun
tain is Mount Mckinley, Alaska,
2O,3OO feet high, with Mount Whit
ney, California, next, at l4,50l feet.
All the highest mountains are sink

WASHINGTON

In 1882 the United States of Amer
ica will celebrate. the 200th birthday
of George Washington He was born
on February II, 1882, and the 18th
was the day which was celebrated as
his birthday for many years. But the
change in the calendar in 1854, by
which II days were dropped out of
the month of September in that year,
made this anniversary, by an exact
calculation, fall on the 22nd.
ire national celebration Of 1882,
for which Congress has appropriated
A,500,000, will last from February z
to Thanksgiving. The President is
chairman of the Washington Bicen-
tennial Commission, and each State
is to appoint I similar commission.
Local committees will be formed to
see to it that every child and every
citizen has an opportunity to take
part in some form of local celebra-
ton.
I hope that the picture OF Wash
ington as something between saint
and derni-god, SO long perpetuatctt
in the name Of patriotism, will be re-
placed in the public mind by the i'm
preston of him as a very human
sort of person, but l am afraid not.

SMITHSONIAN

Smithson's bequest and the purpose
to which it has been put have been
worth uncountable millions TO Amer

 The Reds acquired the flasry young shortstop yesterday for e,n unnamed player and an unannounc- cd sum Of money. It is expected that the Yankee will use the Gin cinnati player to pay an obligation the club owes in the Pacific Coast league.
 But the question arises as to how t happened that the other Amcti- can League clubs happened to waive or DuroChcr and just what usc Gin Cinnati expects 10 make of him. Leo is a poor hitter. batting only .246 last season, but he is q brilliant fielder and an expert talkcr. per haps his greatest source of fame. To use him. Cincinnati probably will have to break up an alrealy fine fielding combination of Ford and CritZ who made a record 0' l95 double plays while playing shortStop and second base for tho Reds in 1928.
