that morning After all. a great

had met, and Mr. Ballard had never
known him very we'll anyway. And

in the paper and I went just out
of curiosity I wanted to see the
man I'd heard my brother talk so
much about"
You're sure that was your only
motive?"
Why, of course it was. What
are you trying to do, twist my words
so that you'll make me admit some-
thing that 1 never intended?"
Her words were defiant enough,
but Storm saw that she had begun
to tremble again. Her face became
blotched with dull red spots. and
her breathing agitated. as if what
ever she had witnessed had COM
pletely unnerved her He said in
as reassuring a tone as he could
muster:
The truth is all we're looking
for, Miss Watkins. Just try to tell
me in your own words exactly what
happened when you went to John
Coventry's cabin this afternoon"
Il never got that far" Myra
answered. her eyes clouding with
tears. Il was just within sight of
the cabin when I noticed that the
bushes beside the road we're all
trampled as If someone had been
fighting there. I went to the side
and looked over, and then II saw
him lying there dead. I'm not sure
what happened after that. NV only
thought was to get away I turned
around and started to run. but I
stumbled over a rock on the road.

Storm saw that he would be able
to get no farther information from
her that afternoon. Therefore he
took his leave OF her as painlessly
as possible. But he took the pre-
caution Of stopping at the nearest
telephone and asking Sheriff Hum
phries to detail one of his men to
watch Myra Watkins.
Then he set out in the direction
OF Hidden House. The cigarette he
had found that morning was, figur-
atively at least, burning a hole in
his pocket. He was anxious to know
how the nonchalant young English
man would react when he learned
that one of his cigarettes had been

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1940-03-09

As an appropriate introduction
to her opera talk. Mrs. Mason gave
short sketch of Savonarola's
early life - things of Importance
which took place before the open
ing of the opera, which was writ
ten for the annual May festival in
Florence. Italy.
As a child, Girolamo Savonarola
spent a happy life with his parents
and his sisters. AS he grew older,
however. he found that he was I'M
able to adjust himself TO the evil
and corruption of the world and
at % he ran away TO enter the
monastery of Bologna.
His first years in the monastery
were difficult and discouraging.
Nevertheless. success came TO him
later on when he became the prior
of San Marco. II is with these
later years that the opera is con-
cerned.
With her faculty of being able
to hold her audiences attention
through her simplicity and beauty
of expression, Mrs. Mason told of
the success and great influence of
Savonarola and of his ultimate
downfall and untimely death by
execution. The presentation of
excerpts from the musical score
added to the unique charm of the
program.
The Great hall of the seminary
with its high, beaming ceiling and
its imposing portrait of Bishop
Frederick Keator above the fire.
place formed an appropriate set
