short laugh. "But it's a sure bet they're giving us pretty short rope. We'll stick to the wide open spaces in the middle of the walk to dis courage eavesdroppers, anyhow"
 Bill" Christine hurried on, I've got to know-why were you beating up Jas-that man down on the beach tonight?"
 Bill was silent for a long mo- ment before he replied, T am go- ing to tell you because-well, you have got to know-for your own safety, Christine, he was following you"
 "He waS-what?"
 "He was skulking in a shadow" |" Bill said, when you came out of that clairvoyant's joint; and he slunk along the Boardwalk behind you, evidently waiting for a chance to stop you when there was no one else near"
 Christine's spine crawled at the picture his word conjured.
 of course" Bill went on, "the reason I know is that I was trail ing you, too. While was down on the beach, I saw you standing under light on the Boardwalk, reading something. I was trying to catch up with you when you went into that Temple of Truth place, and-well, waited in parked car just of the Boardwalk. And now I've got something to ask you, Christine. Just now you started to call Puss-in- by name, didn't you?"
 Bill" Christine said, hardly be- lieving it yet herself, Ines Jaspar Cousin Emma's butler. At least he was her butler the last I knew. It's-incredible, but suppose he did kill her?"
 T am supposing it," Bill said shortly But what's a lot more vital to me is that he wasn't fol- lowing you for any good"
 But, Bill, even if he stabbed Cousin Emma-why should he want to harm me?"
 God knows-unless he's ma- niac. And only God knows where he's skulking now. |. Chris tine, you recognized him at once, didn't you? I was sure that you had"
 Christine's blood chilled.
 If even Bill had been so sure, Inspector parsons had not, as she hoped, been just guessing. He knew.

CHAPTER XI

Since Christine had first caught sight of that pitiful body on the concrete bench, she had known horror and remorse. Now she knew terror.

 But" she faltered, Cousin Emma knew that I am not extrava- gant-she never suggested that she thought SO. And she has never mentioned her will to me. .. can't imagine that she wrote this letter But-who did?"
 Miss Thorenson," the inspector asked softly, could you identify your cousins writing?" z
 TT don't know This certainly looks like hers"
 Isn't there anything you can tell me-" the inspector went on al- most gently, that might throw some light on this business?"
 Christine thought, I ought to tell him everything-about Jaspar, for instance-about that telephone girl and about the swami's wearing that dagger.
 But all that-with his inevitable questions-would take time. And if the clairvoyant had had any part in this, why should he have tried to warn her? Now she wanted only to get to her room and satisfy ser self that there was, among her be- longings, nothing sinister-like this letter-to complicate the incredible position in winch she found herself.
 Nothing" she said, that can think of"
 The inspectors face hardened; and he swung upon the disreputable figure in wading boots who, with Bill, had just returned from the next room and had resumed his

} STAMP NEWS

' TITLE possibility of the re-
 lease of any of the 35 U. S., stamps of the Famous Ameri- cans" series before 1940 was in- dicated following Postmaster Gen. eral James A. Farley's announce ment of the final selection of authors, poets, artists, educators, inventors, composers and scien- lists to be so honored.
 Stamp commitments for the balance of the present calendar year apparently will prevent issu- ance of even the first group of five before January. Postal authori- ties, however, promised that every effort will be made to rush the stamps into production.
 Tentative plans call for the issu- ance of the series in seven groups of five each, in 1-cent, 1k-cent, 2-cent, Scent and 5-cent denomi- nations. Details as to designs, col- ors, and date and place of first day sales will be announced later.
 The selection, long awaited by philatelists, is the result of polls conducted among collectors, and of suggestions of various educational, business and patriotic groups from all parts of the country. Actively backing the proposed issue was President Roosevelt, generally credited with originating the idea.
 The Famous Americans" who will be honored by stamps are: Authors: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), Washington Irving, Louisa May Alcott, and James Fenimore
 Poets: Henry w. Longfellow, James Whitcomb Riley, Walt Whitman, John Greenleaf Whittier and James Russell Lowell.
 Artists: James A. McNeill Whistler, Daniel Chester French, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Gilbert Charles Stuart, and Frederic Rem ington.
 Educator Horace Mann, Charles w. Eliot, Booker T. Wash ington, Frances E. Willard, and Mark Hopkins.
 Inventors: Alexander Graham Bell, Eli Whitney, Samuel F. B. Morse, Elias Howe, and Cyrus H. Mccormick.
 Composers: John Philip Sousa, Edward A. Mcdowell, Stephen Collins Foster, Victor Herbert, and Ethelbert Nevin.
 Scientists: Luther Burbank, Dr. Crawford w. Long, Dr. Walter Reed, John James Audubon and Jane Addams.

State Highway Department
Plans 100000 Program

Advance preparations have been
completed by Montana state high
way department engineers for the
letting of more than 100000
worth of road and bridge con-
struction projects this fall, in an
endeavor to get a two-year pro-
gram under contract in less than
six months. When that task is
completed, according to Highway
Engineer D. A. McKinnon, the
state department will have crowded
into the space of a single year a con-
Struction program designed to cover
both 1888 and 1889.
I'VE made a promise to Montana
voters, when they had the state de-
benture issue under consideration last
year, that if the proposal succeeded,
we would not lose a single cent of
proffered federal funds for highway
construction" McKinnon said.
ITO fulfill that promise meant put
ting about $4,000, 900 in state and fed
eral funds under contract between the
time we sold the first debentures in
February until the end of the year.
Last season, due to the fact that
the debentures were then being initi-
ated and were not voted on until the
November election. very little new con-
struction was attempted, principally
because there was not sufficient money
to match the federal aid highway
funds offered this state" Engineer
McKinnon explained in telling Of the
double duty" construction program
now under way.

After the voters of the state had
approved the issuance of the $4,000, 600
in debentureS. it was necessary to have
the issue validated both by acts of the
1889 legislative assembly and a test
case in the state supreme court. Sub
sequently, the legislation was enacted
and the test case decided favorably
900 of the issue was sold.
The very low interest rate of 1.89
in department history-but not as low
as the rate of lib percent received
when second half Of the bonds was
sold last June II.
Between the time of selling the first
share of the debentures and June 80,
1t was necessary to get the entire 1893
construction program under contract
because, If we had not, the federal aid
money would be Withdrawn at the end
of the fiscal year.
That task was completed, the Sec
ond half of the bonds was sold, the
new program was made up, it was
submitted to the bureau of public roads
for approval, that approval was given
on Aug. II and we received notice of
it on Aug. %.
Then engineering on the 1899 prof.
ect was undertaken, surveys were
made, plans completed and now we

Harry Golfer, D, was safe at
home in Dillon at the end of Sep
TENDER after the most exciting
month in his life, experiencing the
outbreak of war while in Germany
and returning to the United States
aboard the American freighter,
Black Heron, which we'd
through the high seas for II days,
escaping the torpedoes of warning
submarines.
Caught in the midst of the frenzied
exodus from Europe, when thousands
sought accommodations on ships sail
ing for America, Golfer found job
on the Black Heron through efforts
of the German consul at Rotterdam,
which was. besieged with pleading
Americans, he said.
The freighter sailed for America on
Sept. 3, the day France and England
declared war on Germany, as the nazi
push into Poland was started.
1t was well on its way westward
when submarine torpedoes sank the
Athena.
The English channel was well pa
trolfed by British destroyers, and EVIL
dences of war were visible everywhere
on the high seas" Golfer said. Al
though the crew, mostly Americans,
knew the voyage was dangerous, with
German submarines sinking ships,
there was little nervousness aboard the
Black Heron. Some of the crew were
nervous and excited, but most of US
believed We were safe, as we were fly
ing our flag"
Golfer left for Europe two months
ago, working his way across the Attain
tic aboard a German boat after at
tending summer school in Philadel-
phia. He spent considerable time in
Germany, and in Wurzburg, Bavaria.
He visited relatives of the Rev. F. x.
Lechner, Dillon priest, in southern
Germany, and stopped with friends in
Dusseldorf for few days.
The Black Heron, after II days at
sea, locked at New York on Sept. IA.

Chiffan Talks to His Phoebe.

Chiffan was the least administra-
tive of all the group out of which
the first world administration grew.
He remained what used to be called
a minister without portfolio. He
joined in the irregular councils that
Rud assembled and on increasingly
infrequent occasions he talked to
Rud and Rud annexed his ideas. But
the great world ministries were de-
veloping their own methods of deal
ing with one another, and the new
conjoint sessions of the law, educa-
ton and biological thealth) boards
were acting as an organ for arbitra-
tion and taking more and more re-
sponsibility of the shoulders of the
council, Rud maintained his closest
relations with the world police under
Thirp and the rather ill-defined
ministry for the protection of the
world state, and Chiffan, with his
generous salary as consultant-gen-
eral, was as near an approach to the
old-fashioned independent gentle
man" IS the new world could show
He spent his days in appreciative
listening and leisurely writing. With
the rapid increase OF the worlds
wealth, new leisure class of re-
leased and superannuated workers
was appearing. There were more
gentlefolk than ever, and more and
