because modern dial phone seemed

He glanced in the directory. and
swiftly dialed a number. After an IN

came over the wire:
"Beldon speakin'."

Gil looked around the room once
more. while the train rumbled across
the bridge and on into the night, to
make sure there was no vestige of evi-
dence to betray him, and then hur-
ried outside to his car, parked in the
gravelled driveway
Swiftly he drove south along the
private road that followed the river,
and then turned west on the concrete.
Less than half mile away was the
intersection which led to town, four
or five miles away - the road by
which the sheriff would arrive. Gil
sped on for couple OF miles, then he
turned off onto a crossroad. switched
off his lights and parked. out of sight

Fifteen minutes he had told the
sheriff, and it would have taken
mighty fast driving to do it in that
length of time, for there was no direct

jailbird Grear boy?'
There's some pretty low charac-
ters in this world" Beldon said. He
kept on walking around the room
aimlessly -- trying to act like real
detective in search of clues. Gil thought
disdainfully.
The old boy would do his best, of
course He had liked Mark. Mark had
loved to hear the sheriff tell his yarns
about the old days, when this country
was really wild; about his days in the

Nobody up here knew about Elsie.
Mark Talbot had simply given out
the information that his wife had de-

Logan and Mark Talbot were still

This part Of the north woods was

fore. a gangster had denned up just
few miles away and it had taken the
law a month and more to smoke him

could have killed Mark Talbot. He
always carried several hundred dollars
on his person. and to some people
that was lot of money.
There was Ben Grear. for example.
Ben was the son of the Mrs. Grear

and threw it aside Then he wiped the
poker which he had crashed against
Marks head. That was the one thing
he must watch: fngerprints. Even a
hick nCrth-woods sheriff like Clare
Beldon might look for fingerprints.
With painstaklng thoroughness, he
relived the entire scene. from the
moment he had entered the room until
the present moment, making sure he
had touched nothing else which might
take a damnlng fingerprint.
His visit had been as unpremedi-
tated as it was unwise. He had been
driving in the ccol evening air when
he had suddenly decided to find out
just how much Mark knew; to have
it out with him, once and for all From
what Elsie had said Mark hadn't been
sure of anything - just suspicious.
Perhaps, Gil had thought, it might
be possible to gloss the whole thing
over, sell Mark on the idea that he
was barking up the wrong tree COM
pletely. and thus extricate himself
from an awkward situation.
But Mark had shown no signs of
friendliness. He had stood there in the
doorway, with the lights blazing be-
hind him. and said, crisply and curtly,

"a corsage for ''ma," what does
the word envision for you?
We have had much fun the past
week asking this question, the
answers would fill the page, but
every one, among other things
mentioned the egg. The Egyptians,
Persians, Greeks, Gau1s, Romans
and others believes the secret of
life to be in the egg, so to the peo-
pie of antiquity the egg became the
emblem of life-a beginning.
Easter is the chief festival of
the Christian year, commemorating
the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
1t occurs about the same time as
the ancient heather Roman cele-
bration of the coming of Spring,
the name comes from the Anglo
Saxon Eastre, the goddess of
Spring.
1t is from these old pagan fes-
rivals that many of our Easter
customs come. Easter also contains
survivals of the Jewish Passover,
observed in honor of their coming
out of Egypt. The dyeing of Easter
eggs is attributed to a custom of
early Christians who colored them
red in memory of the blood of
Christ. Another idea is that the use
of color is derived from the rays
of the aurora and the dawning
hues of the sun.
The Christians borrowed the
egg and made it a part of their
celebration, emblematic of the
Resurrection-to them the egg was
d tomb from which future life
escaped. Egg rolling contests were
held in England and other Euro
pean countries in the Middle Ages.
Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes is said
to have started the custom at the
White House in 1878.
The popularity of the rabbit
originated in an old superstition
that rabbits lay eggs on Easter

"FASHIONETTES"l

Who started the report that
women's hats were going to very
sensible, and ''hesd covering" this
year? Having occasion to look
over some fashions of just fifty
years ago we were struck with the
similarity of hat styles.
Tiny foundations, tied on with
ribbons, and trimmed with flowers,
wells and feathers, featured the
styles of April 1892, the greatest
difference was in the way the hats
were put on the head straight and
squarely then instead of perched
over the eyes as today.

Eve. The early Norsemen held
both the egg and the rabbit as en-
blems of Spring, both being most
prolific.
The date for the Easter cele-
bration was set by the council of
Christian Churches in 1926 A. D.,
who decided upon the first Sunday
following the paschal full moon
which occurs on March Fl. Thus
Easter may come between March
% and April 25, over period of
35 days.
Palm Sunday, March 20, 1912,
will certainly long be remembered.
Few of us were able to get to
church, for during the night we
were blanketed with a two foot
mantle of snow, which blew into
SIX and eight foot drifts in places.
Palm Sunday, which commence
rates the entry of Christ into Jeru-
salem, comes of course one week
before Easter and marks the be-
ginning of Holy Week. There is
evidence that the feast of palms
was observed as early as the 9Th
century. 1t is now observed with
more or less ceremony by many
ether than the Catholic and Episco-
pal Churches.
