the Democrats Of Imperial

To the Democrats of Imperial
county:
The undersigned COMMITTEES Is
calling a meeting of those Demo
Gratis who are not satisfied with our
so-called Democratic nominee for
governor, Upton Sinclair.
Sinclair has been candidate OF
every party now except the Repub-
lican, and when he fails this time.
if he thinks he could get elected to
office, he would probably run as
Republican candidate next time.
We are perfecting local branch
of the statewide organization OF
the League of Loyal Democrats. A
meeting will be held for this pur-
pose at the county court house, I'll
Centre. California, Saturday night,
October II, at 7:30.
Roosevelt will not support Sin
clair. We should not.
We earnestly request you 10 be
present and bring two or three loyal
Democrats with you.

Pattern 1892

A new neckline of high i'm
portance is the main attraction
on the modish frock sketched
today. It is created by a chic
yoke and ends cut in one, and
casually tied close to the throat.
Adorable sleeves are tuck d
where joined to the new drop
shoulders, and smart diagonal
scanning lends added interest to
the bodice. The skirt is void of
scanning for a very slim effect.
It would be lovelieSt in printed
silk or sheer-and the yoke may
be fashioned of contrast if de-
sired. For q stunning sports
model, later in the season, omit
the sleeves and use a cotton
fabric.
Pattern 1892 is available in
sizes IA, 16, 18, 20, 80, "a, SO, 38

maid, will you please tell Mr..
Cleveland that Inspector Ander-
son is talking to Mrs. Phelps
and that she will call him back
as soon as she is disengaged?
And then will you come back
here? I should like to ask you
a few questions"
Mrs. Phelps was silent and bit
her lips with annoyance but
Anderson'S face was wreathed
in a wide smile. Round l of
the battle was certainly his!
I could see that Mrs. Phelps
was now visibly frightened.
In a minute the maid re-
turned, ill at ease and glancing
from each of us in almost terror.
"Sit down, won't you?" invited
Anderson, motioning her to a
chair. There's nothing to be
afraid Of, my child. I simply
want you to verify a few things
your mistress has said. Tell us
your name, first of ALL"

answered, nervously twisting
her handkerchief. "Tilly Mills.
I do hope, sir, as you don't think
I had anything to do with this
awful murder?"
Certainly not" said Ander-
son with a smile. II know you
didn't, Tilly. I just want you to

questions. You knew Mrs.
Paige. of course?"

ION the afternoon before she

"What was this message?"

supper was finished and spend
the evening with her"

had so seated herself and
turned her back to us than
Anderson, scarely changing his
position, reached across to the
smoking-stand and deftly sub
stituted his own cigarette for
that of Mrs. Phelps! In one
brief second he had extinguish-
ed it and dropped it into his
coat pocket.
When Mrs. Phelps turned
around, the Inspector had al
ready obtained another one
from the box and was busy
again with the electric lighter.
The lady had noticed nothing.
II have just written my
name and address," she said,
holding up a sheet of note pa
per. will that be enough?"
"Oh, plenty, plenty" answered
Anderson, affably.
At this moment, the little maid
appeared again in the doorway.
Plainly She remembered Ander-
sons Injunction that her mis-
treSs should not be interrupted
and she was scared to death.
But as she hesitated, fearful
to speak, Anderson asked:
eyes. What is it?"
''It's a phone call" she began
hesitatingly. Please. sir. I do
not know what to do. 1t is so
very important"
Again to my surprise, Ander-
son said pleasantly:
Then give it to Mrs. Phelps
by all means. 1 do not wish her
to leave the room just now but
certainly you are to deliver any
message that is really impor-
tant."

makeup.

Anderson Suavely. What could
be more natural than a call

Certainly" replied Anderson.
IT consider that an excellent
suggestion. I am convinced that
a little reflection will show
both you and Mr.. Cleveland
the folly Of the course you are
taking. I want you both to
meet me in the library Of Mrs.
Paige'S house this afternoon at
five o'clock. There you will
either answer my question
truthfully or I shall be obliged
to place you under arrest as a
material witness, much as I
should dislike to take such an
action. We will now wish you

the Inspector to the chauffeur.
Back to the Paige house but
take it easy. I want to talk to
these gentlemen a minute"
Inside the machine, Anderson
said to us. Nov we shall learn

And he took from his
coat pocket the cigarette
which he had so Skilfully pur-
loined from Mrs. Phelps.

and I told her about the rolls

bell and I let him in and then
in just a minute or two he and
Mrs. Phelps left the house tell
ing me that they were going
over to Miss Sunny'S."
Our eyes were focused on
Mrs. Phelps. She sat there in
stony silence, her head held
high, her white face avc"ted.
That's ALL" said Anderson,
and the maid departed.
"Well?" asked Anderson.
The lady faced him furiously.
IT suppose you think you are
funny" she began furiously, but
the Inspector cut her short.
"Ma5am," he said, II think
this matter is anything but
funny. It is clear to me, for
some reason which do not at
present understand, that both
you and Mr.. Robert Cleveland
are trying to suppress valuable
information. You assured me
that vol spent the evening alone
with Mrs. Paige. Now I learn
that Mr.. Cleveland was with
you. Mr.. Cleveland informed
me only this morning that he
scarcely knew you and had met
you only once; yet also learn
that you spent an hour with
him this very morning. Again
I must ask you-will you talk
here OF at the police station?"
Mrs. Phelps was now really
alarmed.

CHAPTER XX

: Mrs. Phelps nonchalantly
lounged over to the library table
and removed cigarette from a
jeweled box.
''Won't you and these gentle
men have one?" she invited in
her best society manner. "Please
let me urge you! If you smoke,
perhaps you will not be quite
so disagreeable."
To my utter amazement, An
derson said "thank you" quite
civilly and accepted one. Mrs.
Phelps then offered the box
to Carroll and to me and ex-
tended an electric lighter at
tached to a floor plug
In one second, the entire
scene had changed from open
warfare to a fair imitation of
q social call.
Anderson puffed at the cigar
cite for a moment in silence.
He seemed to be making great
efforts to overcome his anger
and to get himself under con-
troll again. He obviously sue
ceeded, for a moment later he
said quite gently:
"If you really did not open
the desk, Mrs. Philips, then
certainly owe you an apology
both for my tone and for our
intrusion here I wonder if
you will be kind enough to
let me have a few lines of
your handwriting? Anything
will do. 1t is customary in
cases of this kind, and 1 am
merely requesting it as a for
mality."
The woman looked at him in
amaZement. Obviously she was
wondering if Anderson had gone
quite cuckoo, and something of
the same kind was passing
through my own mind. What
on earth had the Inspector up
his sleeve now?
Mrs. Phelps, however. rose
promptly, laid her cigarette on
a Smoking-stand and swept over
to a desk. Here she was clearly
on safe ground and was anX-
ious to comply with so innocent
an order.
Carroll rose and placed

Afraid Of Fear

Of many things he was afraid,
Of poverty and pain,
From toll and care he shrank in
dread,
From prouder mems disdain.
He was afraid of lonely ways,
The deeps of solitude,
And all his nights and all his
days
Found him in fearful mood.
Uneasy, restless, discomfort,
Through life he wandered on;
Fear dogged his footsteps as he
went,
Dread shadowed every dawn.
How blessed his lot, how
brimmed with cheer
Through every wind or tide,
Who learns to be afraid Of fear
And of naught else beside.

INDUSTRIES HOPES
Demand May Push 1894
Total Above Estimate of
1890, 900 Units.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, August 31.-The possible
aggregate output of the automobile
industry for 1884 again is interesting
producers and sales executives as the
assembly lines enter into the final
phases of the production Of current
models.
Although consumer demand, after a
brief recession that followed a hori-
zontal price increase early in the Sum-
mer, has held up beyond the expecta-
tions of thu producers, there has been
no disposition recently to revise up
ward the last authoritative estimate
that 1884 aggregate would reach at
the most 2,800, 900 passenger cars and
trucks. The estimate was downward
revision of earlier predictions.
Even with final output of just a
little short of 3,0o0,00 cars and trucks,
however, the industry's chiefs have
reason for qualification this year. 1t
will be the second consecutive year
that production has increased since
the bottom was reached in 1882. At
that time total output was less than
100000 cars and trucks. ..
The authorities, who advanced O.
500 900 as the probable aggregate for
1884 were figuring largely upon a ia
pering off of demand at about the end
of July and a switch over to 1895
model output not later than early Sep
tember. This calculation undoubtedly
might have been accurate in year
that followed precedent in motor car
merchandising. This year, however,
goodly volume of delayed buying came
into the market late and indications
are that the industry will produce
many thousands of 1884 models not
included in the original estimates.
Thus if the swing over to new model
output becomes general throughout
the industry toward the end OF Sep
tember or mid-October, and dealer
stocks can be supplied from the assem-
bly, lines before the end of the year,
it is conceivable that the aggregate
output within the current IL months
NAV exceed 2,8OO, 600 vehicles.
If plans of the producers decided
upon less than fortnight ago mate
rialize, the assembly lines of virtually
every major producer will come to a
standstin for week commencing La
bor day. While this might be deemed
a hard blow at hopes for increasing
the years production, it will permit a
levehng off in accumulated finished
cars and leave the producers in good
shane tn meet any changes in con-
sumner interest.
