do"
Accordingly the two men set forth
on their errand.
They rode in uncomfortable silence
until the white spire of the Sawyer
Falls church appeared and, rounding
the bend in the road, the car rolled
into the town.
Around it's shabby railroad station
clustered a group of motor cars,
truck or two, and the usual knot of
lettering men and boys.
The small shed where the forge
stood was close by the tracks and as
he pulled up before it, Elisha spied
through it's doorway not only Peter
McGrath, the blacksmith, but also the
rotund figure of Artie Nickerson, the
Sawyer Falls station agent.
CARTS inside! Amt that luck?" he
remarked, clambering out of the car.
They went in and after the usual
greetings, Elisha stated his errand.
McGrath took the handouts and
badge to the light and examined them.
"Hunph Looks as If you'd been
in some sort of a scrimmage," he con-
mented. "But I'll start on 'em straight
away I amt busy on nothin' that
can't be put aside"
Elisha and Eleazer strolled over to
a box and sat down to wait.
"How are you, Art?" Elisha in
quired. Didn't you have nephew
or cousin ISOLATED with police
force somewhere?"
Bonnie, you mean? Oh, yes. He's
a policeman out in Chicago. Just now
he's laid up in the hospital, but he

Elishas smile faded.
"These fellers that's at large now

went on the station agent affably.
They're desperate crew. They'd as
soon kill you as not. Bonnie landed
his man, though. He's done great
work on the force. Been shot three or
four times while on duty. 'Tain't

THE STORY

The future of the still youthful and
comely "Widder" Marcia Howe, recently
released by death from her idling, self
ish husband, is conversational tit-bit
among the housewives Of the little
hamlet of Wilton. Eligible bachelors
and widowers also evince more or
less unselfish interest in the "Widder."
Marcia despite her unfortunate ma
trimonial experience, finds pleasure in
her daily life, but is lonely at times,
and has invited her late husbands
niece, Sylvia Hayden, whom she has
never seen, to visit her. The girl ar
rives and Marcia takes to her at once,
while Sylvia, expecting to see some
what elderly aunt, finds Marcia more
like sister.
Into the uneventful, happy lives of
the two women comes adventure. A
stranger, on the verge of exhaustion,
finds his way to Marcia's home. Cared
for, he explains that his power boat
ran aground in the fog. His wrist is
injured. Secretly, he asks Marcia to
hide "a package containing jewelry,
which she does. The doctor comes, with
Elisha WinsloW, town sheriff, bringing
the news of jewel robbery on neigh
boring Long Island estate. The stran-
ger, Hospitality put to bed, gives his
name as Stanley Heath.
Marcia says nothing to Sylvia about
the jewels Heath had asked her tc
hide. Though uneasy, she is unwilling
for some reason, to believe him to be
a thief. Sylvia discovers the jewels. A
handkerchief with the initials SCH
convinces her that Heath is author OF
the robbery Sheriff Winslow had re-
ported and she realizes that Marcia
herself must have hidden them Decid-
ing to say nothing, she puts the jewels
back in their hiding place.
Unable to write because of his in
jured wrist, Heath has Marcia "Mrs

a man named Currier to come at once
Sylvia, in her room, bedecks herself

! she hides them there. Heath asks Mar
cha to bring him the jewels. They are
gone! Terror stricken, she informs
Heath. Later, Sylvia restores them te
their original hiding place.
Eleazer Croker brings a telegram
for Heath. Sylvia being away, he deems
it an opportune time to pop the ques-
ton to Marcia, but her thoughts are

Winslow, arriving with the news of g
fire in the village, sends Eleazer hastily
home. Elisha, by accident, discover.

the stolen gems, and that Heath j.

but replacing the jewels, he returns tt
the village to make plans, with Eleazer
for arresting Heath.

"Yep. Same ole rut. I've had,
though, a bit more telegraphin' to do

EMMITSBURG, Md, Dec. II.
Laboring to fill two posts left
vacant from last season Coach Joe
Lawler of Mt. St. Mary's College,
is undecided as to which of several
newcomers he will use against Unls
versity of Baltimore in the OPEN
ing game here Saturday night.
The guard positions filled cap
ably by Charley Reilly and Bob
Leahy and one of the forward
positions which will be occupied
by Joe Segadelli are causing the
new mentor no trouble whatSo-
ever. The remaining forward posi-
ton as we'll as the center berth
remain untitled.
Don Petrini has been filling the
pivot position on the first five in
practice sessions. Frank Apichella
is tentatively slated for the vacant
forward position. Both Apichella
and Petrini are performing in
their first season at the Mount
and need considerable experience
before being classed as finished
collegiate performers.
Announcement was made yeSter-
day by DR.. j. Earl Bender, gradu-
ate manager of athletics. of the
addition of another game to the
Mounts schedule. The contest will
be with John Marshall College at

Although Elmer Layden can't
hope to replace this brilliant quar-
tet of seniors for many years. the
outlook is not so bad as at first
seems. Three junior backs
showed up we'll in the averages,
Bob Wilke, Steve Miller and Vic
