BEGIN HERE TO-DAY.

Because life was so slow in the little town of Red Thrush, Iowa, GINGER ELLA TOLLIVER con- ccived the idea of a Junior Country club to save the younger set from utter boredom. It was to be ex- clusive-no parents allowed, no ba bics. Accordingly, she arranged for the purchase of the NIill Rush farm, 1t, and proceeded, with the assist ancc of her friends, to overhaul and furnish 1t. ,se.
 Ginger was the daughter of a minister and the stepdauehter of a very wealthy woman, the former PHIL VAN DOOKN. who was . tolerant person and crazy about Ginger.
 One day, while the rellabilita- ton of the club house was going on, an artist called at the kitchen of the Tollivcr home and offered to do n portrait in exchange for a meal. After he had shaved off his beard .Ginger found to, her sur- prise that he was good looking. He had studied in Paris and hls name was BARD HOLLOWAY.
 Ginger, who was never at a loss for ideas, thought 1t would be a good ono if Bard remained for a while in Red Thrush, instead of wandering about the country like a hobo. He could pick up some money painting portraits for fam- flies who would be flattercd-es- pecially If the Tolliccrs sponsored him. And he could do the mural decorations in the new club house, for Ginger was bound 1t would be a success.
 So Ginger gets her stepmother Phil. to invite him to stay with the Tollivcrs, but the artist demurs. He is a stranger. he says; 1t would be taking advantage. But Phil makes him accept. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XII.
 "Oh, mo-" said Phil warmly. You mustn't leave them here. You must take them in. We'll have a big tea some afternoon and show them since Ginger feels that Red Thrush should have it's portrait done. Put them in the library and see that they do not get scratched in any way"
 At Ginger's smirk of triumph she smiled kindly. @
 1T hope all your hoboes turn out as we'll, you naughty thing" she whispered. .,...
 I'm terribly happy" interrupted Bard with a pleased laugh. T don't know why-but seem to have-sort of got some place. if you know what I mean. As if I had found some one who belonged to me.
 Ginger nodded her bright head. T know just what you mean" she said. II feel as if some one had just come home after long and dangerous journey"
 Phil cleared her throat depre- catingly. "You might just run the car over there in the corner out of the way" she said dryly. Ginger has her own roadster, and can probably be persuaded to chauffeur you about while you are here."
 "I hope so," he said. I'm nearly out of gas."
 When they followed Hamill to the house, with the last load, Phil, with Ginger at her heels, conducted him to the room designed for his use.
 "I suggested this room," she ex- plained. II know the furniture in the best room is simply priceless and all that, but this view is better and a good artist should prefer view to value"
 '..This is just great" said Bard. You are awfully good to me. You know, Mrs Tolliver, I think I must have been very lonely. didn't realize 1t, but I am sure I was be- cause now I don't feel that way at all. I'll try not to stay too long and I'll be on my very best behavior

They are highlights of Radio Pictures all-talking drama of the rails, Danger Lights" which will begin showing tomorrow night at the Capitol theatre.

was found Sunday in thicket near
Bowling Green.
Frazer was arrested in Raleigh when
he called at the post Office general
delivery window for mail addressed to
n. G. Devlin. He admitted he was
Frazer. but denied all knowledge of
the killing.
David said he hoped to persuade
Frazer TO return voluntarily to Rah-
way, adding that if the suspect re-
fused, extradition might prove difficult,
as the authorities have no definite in
formation on the place, method or mo-
tive of the killing. A superficial ex-
animation of the body has failed to
disclose a bullet wound or anything
else that might have caused death.
Idle Since Inheritance.
He said it was presumed that Mrs.
Stader was killed somewhere between
Walden, N Y, and Railway between
February Is and February 10.
Frazer. who is 81 years old, inherited
about $4,000 from his father two
years ago and has not worked since.
He is the father OF two children.
Mrs. Stader was 80. She was for
merly a hairdresser and recently left
her home in Railway to go to live with
sister in Walden.
Frazers mother and wife met in the
Office of Prosecutor David today and
were openly hostile.
IF she had taken proper care of him
this thing never would have happened"
charged the mother.
Accuse Each Other.
They accused each other of aiding
Frazer to escape. The mother admitted
giving Ira Jensan $3.50 to take her son
South, but said she did so only when
her daughter-in-law sent Jensan to say
she had no money.
This drew an admission from the
younger woman.
II gave him IS, all I had" she
shouted.
The wife said: MY husband could
not get rid of Mrs. Stader. She kept
calling him up at the house and leaV-
ing assumed names. I tried to break
up the affair. / even contemplated
divorce several times, but backed out
after my husband pleaded with me not
to leave him, that l was the only one
he loved"
1t was the mother who introduced
Frazer to Mrs. Stader, when the latter
was a neighbor. She said her son had
never been quite the same since his war
service in France.
