She said she then took the pistol
from the policeman's automobile
and shot Leonard.

flee Of a nearby physician and
the wounded man was later re-
moved to Emergency Hospital in
an unconscious condition, where
he was treated by DR.. A. l.. Del
grago.
Policeman Kimbal has not

Hoffman's Story Differs
Hoffman, when questioned this
afternoon at Emergency Hospital,
discredited the story told by Miss
Wilson.
Although considerably weak and
suffering much pain, the wounded
man seemed bearing up well.
He told detectives that he met
Miss Wilson by appointment at
0:2O o'clock last night and that
they spent the best part Of the
evening driving about the city.
He said that about 2 a. m.
they were stopped by two police
men, one of them Policeman
KimbeIl, for speeding. The sec
Ond policeman left, he said,
whereupOn Kimbell joined them,
driving to Fourteenth Street and
Rhode Island Avenue Northeast.
Hoffman said that at the time
no mention was made of liquor
and the policeman did not get
any as Miss Wilson told detec-
tives.
Dared Her to Shoot
He said the shooting occurred
after Miss Wilson had grabbed
the pistol from the policeman's
holster. The girl and Hoffman,
according to the. mans story,
were standing together near the
automobile when Miss Wilson
pointed the pistol at him. Hoff-
man then is alleged to have
said:
"YOu haven't nerve enough
to shoot"
Hoffman told the detectives
Miss Milson then pulled the trig-
ger, the bullet striking him in
the left chest.
Hoffman told detectives the po-
liceman was not at fault in any
respect, and added:
Everything that happened is
my fault. am to blame for
everything. It's nobody else'S
fault"

Though my companion, Charles k1p1er,
and I are weary after sleepleSs day and
night and our fantastic journey over the
mountain peaks. our health is undamaged.
We made many important scientific OBJ
servations which 1 consider of high value
to science.
One of our most thoroughly checked OBJ
servations, repeated several times over,
showed that there are varying amounts
of radiation from the heavenly bodies,
which by our calculations proved that the
stars are radioactive. This Is extremely
important.
But our most amazing discovery is that
the temperature in the stratosphere that
stormless region far up in the skies, Is
more than 100 degrees below centigrade
zero (more than l48 degrees below zero.
FahrenheiD.
This cold however, did not trouble us,
since our sealed gondola fulfilled expecta-
tions, and the temperature within was ideal
while our instruments functioned perfectly.

EXPLAIN SIMILARITY
 OF ROASTING PROCESS ~> AND HOUR GLASS
Hills Bros Patented Process Produces a Fine, Even Roast Because Coffee Berries Pass Through the Roasters "a
 Little at Time"

A stream of sand sitting from a globe on top through a narrow neck into a corresponding globe on the bottom that's an hour-glass. And just as it's accuracy depends upon an even, continuous flow j. |. a little at a time .. so the match less, uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting = Hills Bros patented process that roasts evenly, contin- uously =. 0 little at time.
 Temperature and flow of coffee through the .roasters are automati- cally controlled with this process. As a result, every berry is roasted to the degree that assures perfect flavor in every pound. Bulk-roast- ing methods seldom achieve such thing.
 It is Controlled Roasting that gives Hills Bros. Coffee a flavor no other coffee has. Insist on Hills Bros. Coffee. It is packed in vacuum cans. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Even ordinary, "air- tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee is ever-fresh. Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

Chpaer 13. A TARNISHED TITLE

The Marquesa Carlota de Luiz y Cabrera took the seat that Divitt motioned her to and accepted a cigar.
 Well, Spike, I get your note"
 Divitt closed the door, turned to the marquesa. Must I tell you again not to call me that?' he asked. DO I call you 'Craps'?"
 The marquesa shook her head, a head that would have been iron gray had it not been dyed to more than its pristine blackness. Her rouged face with its heavy nose and fine black eyes lit with a smile, not without charm, not without irony.
 Excuse. I will remember. When we say Spike so long, the tongue make the word hisself. Your note say to come. I hope you are gon pay me the money I lose on your roulette wheel"
 Tt was not my fault that you came here to play" said Divitt. q hadn't even known you were in New Orleans"
 T didn't come to play roulette. I come to talk to you When you see me you act like you don know me. Oh, I understand" with a slight dismissing gesture. But when you will not talk, I play rou- lette and lose the money I have save to take me back to Spain"
 I'll talk to you now" said Di- witt. But cut out that Spike busi- ness. What did you do after they raided us in Philadelphia? Soon

the Argentine. Came into my hands by accident. She has the job pass ing cigarettes. She got in trouble back home and she's hiding ] know nothing about her except that she's too straight to do what we want--if she knows it.
 We got hold of a necklace one of the swell danes dropped more or less accidentally I sent Juanita to return it and refuse the reward. Had her give the name of Ysabel Flores, which I made up myself. Told her to say she was from Seville"
 And she's from the Argentine?" haughtily asked the marquesa.
 No matter. She looks the part, and she's through with the Argen- tine. That necklace was the entering wedge. They'll ask her to visit them in return for this cour tesy--if they're assured she's real They'll introduce her into other wealthy homes. It's a gold mine.
 NO doubt you're the real thing too, Marquesa, but you could never have done that. Juanita has paved the way, and you can follow-as her duenna. She thinks I mean not to let her get away and squeal. She has no intention of getting away, though it won't hurt to let her know you've got an eye on her. The chief risk is that men will want to marry her. She may fall in love nerself?"
 And want to marry?"
 Divitt shook his head. There's no darger of that. From what Mol ly has gathered, in her talks with Juanita. something has made the thought of marriage impossible to her.
 But her secret may not prevent her falling in love You yourself are to forestall that"
 "Me?" cried the marquesa. Don't be fool, Mister Diyitt.''
 T am not such a fool as to think you can prevent her being impressed. But you can see when she is impressed, can't you2 You can prevent the condolences that follow when the emotion is mu- tual. You know that she either will not, or can not marry. That should be your cue. Drop a word in the young mans ear-or that of his mamma. Check it before it goes too far. Nothing that would injure her.
 The marquesa nodded. T under standp
 But your main job" continued Divitt, "is to report all you see and hear as you go about with Juanita. Who got the rocks and where they keep 'em. But tonight I'll have you meet Juanita. Her name is Ysabel, remember-though if you called her Juanita it wouldn't matter much. But of course no intimation that she's ever seen the inside of this place. You're both from &c., vile. stopping at the Tijon-trav- cling. Ysabels first glimpse of the world"
