CHAPTER XII.
STRANGE meeting was held
that night at the house on
; West SEVENTEEN Street.

So extraordinary was the gath
ering that, had they known, the
reporters would have descended en-
masse on the house Of the Com
missioner, frantic at the whispered
reports Of new developments in the
Foster case. No one would tell
what was afoot, nor did they learn
that all the witnesses had been
hurriedly summoned and were now
coralled in one of the chambers on
the second floor of the Commits
sioner's house. Among them were
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster and their
adopted son, Bruce, together with
Betty Garfield, Harry Armstrong,
Mrs. Haberhorn and several others
who would not have been recog-
nized BY the reporters at all
especially q boy with buck teeth
. voluble and protesting Italian
barber, and q locksmith. The
doors Of the house were guarded
BY patrolmcn.
But an infinitely stranger gath
ering was held in the library Of the
Police Commissioner.
In front of the desk sat George
Maskell, prim and precise, his
finger tips together, his chin lost
In his huge, outstanding collar.
Across from him sat his wife,
Natalie, looking pale and august
and beautiful. Between them, grim
and thoughtful, slouched the pris-
oner, Doctor Humphrey Maskell.
Facing this embattled trio stood
District Attorney Merle Dougherty,
his pudgy hands clasped behind his
back, bis red curls rumpled, his
blue eyes glittering. Dougherty
refused to sit down but stalked
angrily back and forth as if he
found it difficult to contain his
indignation at these bizarre and
unnecessary proceedings. His
marching raised q wind that flut-
tered the leaves Of my notebook,
% I sat waiting to make a record
Of all that was said and done.

county's Red Cross has been fortu-
nate In having the able services Of
Mrs. F. L. Conklin as its chairman.
A capable and understanding wom-
an, she has given unselfishly of her
time in order that this work may be
promoted and properly handled. She
has served her fellow man because
Of her love for humanity and be-
cause it was a job which needed to
be done. She has not received a
penny for her services.
During these last few years her
experience and training have been of
incalculable value. Because Of her
work Mrs. Conklin is rated as one Of
Burleigh county's foremost citizens.
If all the facts we're known she would
also be regarded as one of the coun-
tvs greatest benefactors, for the
work which the Red Cross has done
is indissolubly linked with the work
which she has accomplished.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1933-01-16

Few men have given more gener-
ously or more graciously Of their time
to public service than ]. l.. Bell who,
after a very active business career.
retires from the staff Of the First
National Bank. He holds a high
place in the confidence Of the COM
munity and probably was called upon
many times to do more than his
share in community work. He seldom
said no and what jobs he accepted
he always did we'll.
Mr.. Bell has wide acquaintance
in the state. His knowledge of con-
ditions in this section is wide and his
work as a banker closely allied him
with development in the Missouri
Slope section.
Entering the bank as a boy, he
started as messenger and ran the
gamut Of posts before reaching a
high executive position. Many will
regret his decision to retire from an
institution for which he worked 50
arduously.
In state banking circles, he was a
leader, having held many posts Of
honor in the North Dakota Bankers
association. In the work Of the serv-
ice clubs, churches and Masonic work,
Mr.. Bell served long and we'll.
Whatever new field Mr.. Bell en-
tiers he will carry with him the best
wishes Of a host Of friends In Bur-
leigh and throughout the state.

Before any one could reply, Dough-

''that I regard this entire proceed

AS Thatcher Colt busted himself

Pen and Sword
Chicago Tribune)

In Mr.. Lloyd Lewis vivid biog-
raphy Of william Tecumseh Sher-
man there is recorded an incident
worth pondering at a period of our
history when something like q psy-
Ghosts on the subject Of war seems
to have touched our intelligentsia
and even some eminent public men.
"Once," writes Mr.. Lewis. "a Dutch
immigrant boy. Edward Box, wrote
him (Sherman) q request to send
the sentence The pen is mightier
than the sword for his autograph
collection. Sherman sent the boy q
long, stern letter: I prefer not to
make scraps Of sentimental writing.
When I write anything want it to
be real and connected in form. as,
for instance, in your quotation from
Lord Lyttons play of "Richelieu," the
pen is mightier than the sword. Lord
Lytton would never have put his
signature to so naked a statement.
Surely I will not. In the text there
was prefix or qualification:
Beneath the rule of men en-.
tirely great
The pen is mightier than the
sword"
He told young Box. says Mr.. Lewis,
that Washington, and Lincoln, who
was a master Of the pen, had both
been fated to resort to flaming
swords
mo-" wrote the old warrior, Il cam
not subscribe to your sentiment
Rather, In the province of God, there
Is a time for all things, a time when
the sword may cut the Gordian knot
and set free the principles of right
and justice, bound up In the meshes
OF hatred, revenge and tyranny that
the pens Of mighty men like Clay
Webster. Crittenden and Lincoln were
unable to disentangle."
Sherman had sent his wisdom to
the wrong market. The young Dutch
immigrant grew up to be one of the
busiest of our pacifists and remain
ed $50 to the end. Read today, the
protest of the great American will as
little impress the directors of our
policies, for has not war been out
lawed? WAR" said Sherman on an
other occasion, lis hell" He knew that
from his own experience and liked
1t no more than any pacifist. But
also he knew too much about life to
think that the pen of treaty makers
can abolish 1t or their parchment
barriers serve a Nrile nation for its
defense.
Hatred of war and its huge waste
and Generalization of all values has
always marked our national charac-
ter and policy. but no one who re-
CARDS the evidence of history will for
get that in the greatest crises of the
nations life it has taken the sword
Nor will they doubt we shall take
1t again II great issues summon US
to the ordeal.

THE QUEEN Is GONE
New York, Jan. 16.-There is. per-

Total Strangers.

All Of US drew our chairs q little
closer to then. The three Maskells
looked At Thatcher Colt with ex-
pressions of puzzled and eager in
terest, and anxious unanimity Of
emotion. Only Dougherty sulked.
"The killer Of Geraldine Fos-
ter" resumed Colt, did not know
her. Slayer and victim were un.
acquainted. They were total
strangers. They had no reason 70
love or hate each other"
The rim Of four faces. turned
toward Thatcher Colt, became @
images Of puzzled wonder. What
kind of mad theory was the Police
Commissioner about to suggest?
The motive was one free Of all
animosity. Hate did mot enter In
to the crime. Neither did love.
jealousy. or fear. None Of the
grand emotions played . part.
There was never . case that WaS
less Of q crime of passion than
this. The murder 81 Geraldine

axe?
why was the corpse denuded
Of all its clothing, except for . Dill
low case over the head?
who was the mysterious woman
who met Doctor Maskell 1t his Of

done?"
Having recited these three rid
dies, Thatcher Colt threw back his
head and permitted q plume Of Law

Of q new world in the process Of
being born.
"Those questions l had set my
