pers-startled whispers to herself.
And then her sudden move took
the men by surprise. The men sud-
denly discovered that she had dis
appeared like flash. As she darted
toward the door, Meekins went tumb-
ling backwards in his chair to the
floor. Holcomb sprang up and around
the huge table in pursuit, as did
Wade; but she was gone!-across the
reception room and out into the black
night, like a fleeing deer!
AFTER her!"
BY the time the men ascertained
in which direction she had fled, she
was many yards ahead. They plunged
in that direction. She led them,
lodging through trees and shrubbery,
across vast lawns, over hedge that
separated two estates-and then van
ished around the corner of a resi-
dence. A shaft of brilliant light cut
through the darkness and then dis
appeared again as a door slammed.
Mrs. Hathaway disappeared through
this door.
A moment later the detectives, too,
had passed through that same door.
The white coated house-man, greatly
impressed by Meekins's badge and au-
tomato, let out soft gasp and ODE
diently remained silent while Hol-
comb and Wade stole up staircase
toward rising voices"
"You killed Mr.. Mitchell, Rey-
noldsI" feminine voice was scream
ing.
Then through the hinge crack OF
a half-opened door, the officers were
looking into dinly lighted bed
room. They could see Mrs. Hathaway
standing there in the middle of the
floor glazing down at a man, who lay
stretched out on the bed-obyiously
a tall man, of mysterious age, with
the mark of fear stamped on his
startled brown face.

"where are you stopping in town."
"Nowhere?"
A Real Friend
Nowhere? You mean you haven't
any place to stay; that you are alone
and unknown in this strange city?"
Rev. Godfrey seemed quite concerned.
He came nearer and placed his hand
on the girls shoulder, looking at her
compassionately.
"Why did you come here" he asked,
'if you knew no one and had no
place to stay?" :.

Precisely at that moment Wade en-

crossed toward him.

Holcomb and Wade were discussing

preceded by woman. About thirty,

"Sort Of" Verna admitted, MOTTO

right then that Rev. Hugh Godfrey
was falling head over heels in love
with her at first sight. Why did they
all do that, she asked herself, with
out any effort on her partP 1t was
flattering, of course, and might be
useful but right now it annoyed her
a little. Why were men so helpless
and pliable in the hands Of an at
tractive woman?
Come" said Rev. Godfrey, pulling
open the outer door, 'you must have

ter all, she was in something of a
fix. This fellow seemed honest and
anxious to help her. Despite her
very antagonistic attitude toward men
in general, after her experience with
Dick Colvin and Donald Baxter,
she decided to let Rev. Godfrey help
her.

sweetly. "Tt's awfully nice of you to

Once upon a time we were asked to sit on an ln- sanity jury to try the fate of poor unfortunate who unnistakeaby had lost his mind. He was manifestly violent He tried to kill his guards with his manacles He talked bberish and laughed Altho foreigner, he talked English and went into long religious discussions He hooted like an owl and parked like a fox; he be- came profane. There could be mistake about it. he nut violent and potentially harmful.
 But positively declined to that jury We were afraid to sit in judgment on that human when could picture many others of Us sitting ln his place. We know many people who exhibit mum Der of the symptoms affcting that poor unfortunate who seemed to have them all compassed in his sturdy body Any one who had them al reflected, must De nut But if only had one or two, or even three would he be crazy?
 In brief newspaper career we have seen men try to kill their guards when in manacles but they were desperate criminals maybe outraged citizens gone berserk thru some ofciousness of government officials They were not crazy. We have frequently heard men laugh loudly at their bberish or bum joke and after the third drink tell the first story ever again. and grow maudln at the fourth shot and try to make love to the cook. We have heard ligous arguments that generally ended in blows we have heard that Aimee Semple MacPherson sWays thousands with her religious tantrums till they came up and laid their money at her feet And God knows she an't crazy.
 We have heard men hoot loudly at anything and grow grossly profane at prohibition swearing like

It is said that the new stamp has

Of which the ancient art of stamp

A stock of the new stamps has
been issued to the postoffice in

successful the stamps will go in
to general circulation.
A change in the manufacturing
