Judge Richardson Makes Interesting Ruling Relative To Forge. Charge. Because the principal witness was dead, Commonwealth's Attorney Folkson today asked, in Hustings Court that a case of forgery against Sarah E. Garrison, colored, be no noll proclaimed. The woman was accused of forging the name of Virginia Giles, cashier of the Order of True Reformers (colored) to a draft for $55 given to J. H. Braxton, a colored real estate dealer. She claimed that the Giles woman directed her to sign her Virginia Giles) name to the paper. Though Virginia Giles denied this in Police Court, she was unable to testify today because of the fact that she died a week or two ago. Judge Richardson, in directing that the case be erased from the dock, ruled that in order to consovert the statement of the prisoner regarding the signature Virginia Giles would have to be present in person. The Garrison woman, after being arrested, more than a year ago, jumped her $500 bond, but was later located in Chicago and was brought back to Richmond by Detective John Wiley. She has been in jail for several months awaiting trial. On hearing the court's decision today she wept for joy. Attorney Robert H. Tallay represented her.—News-Leader Dec. 21st. 1914.

Philadelphia, Dec. 19.—President Samuel Rea, of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in a statement today, said that he regarded the railroad rate decision handed down by the Interstate Commerce Commission yesterday as the beginning of a broad constructive policy in railroad regulation. The statement says: "I regard this decision as the be- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26 1914 gunning of a broad constructive policy in railroad regulation so impressively required. It certainly indicates that the commission has been seriously impressed by actual railroad and financial conditions, and we recognize that the commission has carefully considered the entire situation and rendered what it believes to be a fair and equitable decision. FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY. "The decision however, grants an increase on only about 50 per cent of the freight business of our system and is not so far reaching as the railroads believe to be necessary." "The Federal government should in the same spirit, award the railroads the admittedly just compensation so long withheld for the carriage of mails and parcels post; and the citizens should see to it that the legislatures, Federal and State, relieve the railroads from enforced wasteful expenditures. "Under such a helpful policy public regulation rests on a solid foundation, and confidence and prosperity will be greatly encouraged." VIEWS OF OTHER OFFICIALS New York, Dec. 19.—That railroads would be substantially aided by the increased freight rates granted by the Interstate Commerce Commission was the opinion generally expressed by railroad officials in statements made public here today. President L. F. Loree, of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, said, the increase will relieve the distress of the railroads by making up a deficit in their earnings. He did not believe however, that it will give railroads any additional purchasing power. President A. H. Smith, of the Newer. York Central lines and Howard Elliott president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, expressed the opinion that the commission in granting the rate increase had re-organized the needs of the railroads and the necessity of increasing freight rates. "In its broad scope the increase show, in my opinion, said George F. Brownnell, vice president and general solicitor of the Eric Railroad, "that the Interstate Commerce Commission had realized that the relief which the commission previously had thought could be gained from measures other than increased freight traffic had been made impossible by the results of the war and existing conditions." "Several bankers, brokers, and men whose interests are allied with the railroads also saw in the decision a sentimental benefit and a factor in maintaining the care of investors and business men. W. C. Van Antwerp, a governor of the New York Stock Exchange, said: "The decision is highly encouraging, and will, no doubt, be approved by the higher court of public opinion." Bey. Wm. Beckham Dead. Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 20, 1914. After an illness covering several months Rev. Wm. Beckham, D. D. of this city, died in Independence Mo., this morning. This news was flashed over the wires by Rev. S. W. Bacote. D. D., who was well known to Dr. Beckham. Dr. Beckham was field secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, a position he had held for more than a dozen years. He was born in Zebulon. Pike County, Texas, April 26, 1864 but moved to Texas with his parents when quite a youngster. He was ordained as a Baptist minister November 23, 1891, at Albany; Texas by a prebodety of the First Baptist Church of that place, composed of Rev. C. H. Chinn, Moderator; Rev. H. Maxio Clerk, and Rev. J. Coplee and S. Dejennett. He pastored in Texas for some years, after which he was a missionary under Rev. K. H. Boud, who was at the time superintendent of missions of the General Baptist Convention of Texas. Dr. Beckham afterwards succeeded Dr. Boyd, when Dr. Boyd came to Tennessee to start the Publishing House. After working for several years in Texas, he became Field Secretary for the Publishing and Home Mission Boards in 1902, working with Dr. Boyd. When the Boards were separated last September, the Publishing Board elected Dr. Beckham as its field secretary, and it was while on his first trip of the fiscal year that he took his fatal illness. The funeral will be held at the First Baptist Church of this city where the deceased was a member, but at this early hour no definite arrangements have been made. BOWE—LAWRENCE.

Removal of Mr. Justice McCants Stewart. The Counselors of the Supreme Court regarded the removal of Mr. Justice Stewart from the bench of the Supreme Court as being arbitrary, and contrary to both the letter and the spirit of the constitution and the laws of the Republic, because a Judge holds office during life of good behavior. But he may be removed for official misconduct. That opinion is also shared in by the leading men of other calling generally. They believe that if the Supreme Court will take up the question which will be submitted to that honorable body, it must in the face of that law and the constitution, decide in favor of there being causes shown when a Judge is removed. From the oldest to the youngest member of the bar of the Supreme Court, they believed that in Chief Justice Dossen, Mr. Justice McCants Stewart, and Mr. Justice Johnson they had a bench which compared favorable in legal learning to that of foreign benches, and when they received a decision from the bench they were satisfied that it was the law. The lawyers to a man were proud of the legal learning of the bench. We hope Mr. Justice Withersoon will give the same satisfaction. I give the same satisfaction.—Buchanan, Liberty African League.

Kansas City, Missouri, Dec. 9, Editor, "The Planet," Richmond, V My dear Str: At the second anniversary of "The Truth About the Bible," by Sidney C. Tapp, held in Fraternal Hall here Sunday night, Mr. L. A. Knox, a colored lawyer was on the program to respond to the toast, "Mr Tapp's writings on the Bible, the hope of my race and of all races," and he covered himself with glory. It was one of the most cultured audiences that ever assembled in Kansas City. About 15 of Kansas City's leading professional men were on the program. It was conceded by all that Mr. Knox surpassed all in his remarkable speech and that it will become a world classic in Christian Literature. The occasion was opened by Judge E. M. Bartlett, a man of great culture and ex-member of the Supreme Court of Nebraska, and he made a great speech; in fact, all the speeches were written and delivered by men of culture and learning. When Mr. Knox's time came, he surpassed all the mental achievements of the hour. Some of the most cultured white ladies of the city went to Mr. Tapp, the author, and requested that they be permitted to open their parlor on Sunday evenings, and invite their guests and have Mr. Knox accompany Mr. Tapp to their homes to discuss the author's works. Mr. Knox is a full blood colored man, and we do not suppose anything of the kind ever happened before in this country. He is a man of culture and a leading lawyer standing high with the courts. He is an A. B. and L. L. B. from Howard University. The society ordered 20,000 copies of his speech printed and circulated free. Our purpose in writing you is to have you make mention of the occasion that those who wish his speech may secure it by writing us and enclosing a two cent stamp to pay postage for forwarding copy.

This production is being theatrically presented in the University of Missouri. ensign in uniform. She did not know what she would have done had it been Loubeque. "Ensign Howell?" she murmured, flushing pretty at the admiration and astonishment on the officer's face at being greeted by such a vision. "I am very sorry," she murmured hurriedly, as he started to enter "but Mr. Loubeque was outfitted to leave hurriedly. He left word that he would surely be at any place convenient after 8:15. "Any place convenient?" The officer's toes were more of surprise than vexation. "That is," she hesitated, "where it would be convenient for a cutter or boat of some sort to take him to the Terror. That matter is of such importance he does not care—that is— The young man straightened himself, his face wearing an expression of wounded dignity. Lucille heaved a sigh of relief. "That is quite Mr. Loubeque's privilege," he snapped. "I shall write the address on a card where the cutter will be so there can be no further mistake." Lucille accepted the card negligently, holding her eyes averted that he might not read the ecstasy that fairly flooded them. She watched his ruler straight back as it disappeared down the street, then chased the card feverishly to her breast. The first move had been made, and she had more than taken the honors. High hope beat in her heart because of the little victory. She snapped her teeth tightly shut. Yes, the papers would be taken aboard the Terror, but not by Hugo Louiseque. Neither would there be any affiliation with them from the arch spy. She was ready for anything now. Lagard time for once flew while she waited the long interval that was to elapse before the arrival of the spy. Lucille found once more the tunnel through which she had been left, found mysteries passages and explored them, studied out the position she would be in when she completed her work with the enemy who was to come. A step sounded overhead, slow, measured, methodical. She pressed close against the switchboard to the house of mystery, the emination of the mysteries. Her fingers trembled slightly. The foot moved up the stairs. She waited, fingers outstretched toward a little heavy button. The cool surface kissed the finger pad, the pad upon which depended the honor of father and sweetheart, which spelled home life, love to her. Hugs loosely moved slowly to his private office on the second floor. He shivered slightly as he went up the stairs. Ghosts were in the house, ghost memories that he was about to stay finally and forever. He seated himself at his desk to wait, wandering off in a day dream of pleasantater memories. Lutcliffe—how her very presence here and made the place bearable. He took the precious packet of stolen papers from his pocket. He slipped his fast heavily upon the table, cursing himself for a fool that such thoughts oppress him. What ailed the ensign that he did not come? It was past the time appointed. That was most unusual. He strode nervously up and down the floor. Suddenly the floor gave way violently beneath him, flashed down with lightning speed, bringing up upon the basement floor with such violence that everything in the room was overturned, white he himself lay half stunned against the table. He staggered away, finding himself so weak and dazed he was obliged to clutch the table edge, to keep from toppling over. Something cool and soft brushed against his hand, then the softness grew as iron and fingers were loosened from their clutch. He staggered back, back against the basement wall. He heard Lucille's voice uttering a little cry of delight. His hands encountered the light switch, instinctively pressing. The room was a flood of yellow light, in the center of which, slowly, retreating toward the tunnel exit from the house, revolver pointed steadily at him, with eyes sighting behind the revolver that were harder even than the glint of metal, stood Lucille Love, the precious packet of powers in her hand. Slowly, without a word, she disappeared from view, departed as abruptly, as unexpectedly as she had appeared, making use of the spy's ingenuity to turn it against him in this great loss. For a moment he could of thought or anything; then he darted toward the tunnel, staggering back as a white hot iron scraved his brow even as an orange spate of flame leaped out the darkness at him. He could not charge that way. He dashed to the stairs, rushing into the open, battles, wild, dishevelled. An automobile stood before the door. He directed it wildly toward the tunnel entrance, arriving there barely in time to see Lucille step inside another motorcar and dart forward like a living thing. Helpless, hopeless, yet fighting on with building ferocity. Lombeque continued the chase. Times he would lose her, only to pick the car up again in the most unexpected place. Then. SYNOPSIS Valuable governmental paper are stained by Thompson, follower of Lebanon. International spy, from General Kovar, when the British government sent him to Lebanon to recover the paper in order to clear the name of Amman Gilliam, when the lover. Lebanon, tempering with the wrath on the mother, is hurt. Lebanon moves him in an attempt to recover the paper. Lebanon gets the paper, but the ship is wrecked. She is sent ashore on a Pacific island and is taken by a native child to hert to nurse her sick child. The native child is received to health, and is taken by a native child to hert to nurse her sick child. Lebanon also cart ashore, then various plans to recover the paper, but in vain. Lebanon, baffled, forges a message from a neighbouring child to Lebanon, sends her friend, who falls into a pitfall, losing the documents. Lebanon's native and stakes the paper from his master, and Lebanon takes them from the native after he is killed by a uncle ground in the jungle. Louise falls into the hands of a trifle of men, who lend drags a necklace of precious rubies, which she takes like and Louise are returned from the captain commanded by Captain Wetherall. The girl and Louise are not adult in an open boat by Wetherall after she regains the captain's advance, and he takes the papers. Served by submarine, Louise and Louise are in China. As she praises a house Louise's diary is thrown to her unfortunate. She tries to board a vessel bound for America. Louise receives papers from Wetherall. Louise stews away, is caught and and Louise is held by the captain of the steamer in order to seize Louise's stateroom for the papers. He catches her at work. Louise takes the papers from Louise Landing at San Francisco who is hit by the spy and hold a prisoner in Louise's house by Thompson. Louise throws a message from her window to the captain of the boat, who passes the house, and a fight follows, which Louise is hurt, and bites the papers. Thompson tries to seal the rubies. At Loubeque's ranch in Mexico, to which Loubeque takes Locille, the girl is befriended by a mysterious Mexican, who tries to escape after she grills down Thompson. Locille flees across the border and meets Lieutenant Carmody, an army friend. He puts her on a train for San Francisco. On the train is Thompson, watching her. Thompson steals the necklace from Locille and Loubeque takes the papers from her after she enters his house to recover the necklace. Loubeque Thompson of being a traitor to him. Loubeque chokes Thompson into submission. He takes the girl again to Mexico, but she flees again with the aid of her mysterious friend, taking with her the papers and the rubble. Locille stunned in an accident to her strange friend's automobile, is recaptured by Loubeque. In San Francisco she escapes again and pledges the riddle for $25,000. To win Loubeque's admission Locille dances as a cabinet performer in a hotel, shocking Lieutenant Gibson. She intercepts a message telling Loubeque to deliver the papers to an officer of the U. B. Thompson to try to take his master by surprise. Thompson is killed by Loubeque, who tries to make the killing look like suicide. A little later Lucille enters Loubeque's house, and she finds a chest in a taxicab, pursued by Loubeque. CHAPTER XXIII. An Ensign Feels His Dignity Offended I lacked but fifteen minutes to 5 before she found herself upon the street with the Jeweler who had rushed to her assistance and, at a short conference with the officers and detectives, had arranged her release, personally agreeing to produce her when desired. "If you know Loubeque has the papa, he demanded, "why don't you call on a policeman to protect you and to rescue them?" Lucille smiled firmly at his com- mplice advice, realizing the absolute impossibility of impressing anyone with the power of her enemy. And she must hurry to the mysterious house where Ensign Howell was to call at 5:20, even as she thanked his friend, bidding him goodly at the door of her motocar Hurriedly she searched the streets for the mysterious residence of Hugo Loubeque. She had ten minutes leeway before the ensign was due to call, ample opportunity if she had not for gotten any details of the message. The house was untouched, just as she had thought it would be, for Loubeque would never trust himself for a long time to the place that had once been raided. It would infuse for this short bit of business that was all. She let herself qualify in by the door the smashed lock of the raiding party never having been replaced. Swiftly she rushed through the familiar rooms. In the desk drawer of the spy she found a medium sized automaton, the silencer still fastened on it. The front door bell clanged. The last act in the play was intended to be begin. Ensign Howell was at the door, unless the spy had detected her trick in tampering with the message of the carrier plaque. Her right hand, which had been chasing the revolver concealed beneath her coat, unclasped, and a sigh of civility, relief came from her lips as she opened the door to greet a young THE LORD'S PRAYER FOR THE WORLD for a full five minutes, along the water front, she disappeared. A hunky, frate chauffeur stepped before his driver and alarmed open the door. "Hey, youse," he brawled angrily, "whatt yub mean chasin' a loidy like datt" Loubeque did not answer. Instead he put a question, snapping it in a tone of authority that made even the man cringe. "Where did she go?" The driver passed him a grimy card. The international spy turned it over in his hand, reading the address upon it and marking that it was not a block away. On the obverse side he read Ensign Howell's unique. The chauffeur was pointing out upon the harbor. Loubeque looked, marked the aim figure of Locille standing upright in the briskly manned cutter approaching the big ship. He returned away. His shoulders seemed to have slumped in the half hour, his face to have undergone a chiseling process by the sculptor Suffering, but a smile crossed his face. Once in the cutter, Lucille for the first time heaved a huge sigh of relief as she glanced back toward the shore and saw Huge Loubeque jump from the car in which he had been pursuing her and glance hurriedly up and down the harbor front. She clambered over the sides of the waiting government vessel, being met at the deck by the captain himself. His eyebrows rose in surprise as he regarded the skidder slip of a girl facing him, her eyes wet with tears. "Ensign Howell informed me that Mr. Loubeque"—he began, when she interrupted. "The papers are here, captain. I have them. They are safe now." For a moment he studied her meditatively. She felt an急辣 running up and down her spine. Would be turn back and down her spine. Would be return the papers? At the very suggestion her face flexed in every muscle, while her eyes met his coldly and steadily, a purpose in their depths which even the officer turned away from, convinced that all was well. And now that she was safe, the neryous reaction came upon her. In her own they cabin, safe finally from the man she had last seen upon the shore, it seemed the very air was fraught with terrors, horrible fears reaching toward her, gibbering at her with threats of perils greater even than those she had come through already. A light tapping on the door brought her to her feet, heartily ashamed of the false terrors she had allowed to unnerve her. She opened the door, and Ensign Howell entered. Luciella regarded him coldly, in far different manner from the coquettish young woman who had put him off at the house of Lutheue. "Miss-Miss!" he stammered, "why did you me move from the appointment? The captain wished to speak with you, and when you tell him the truth it will appear as though I—" "You need have no fear," she answered quietly. "Will you kindly conduct me to the captain? I will explain everything." The captain of the Terror regarded her steadily as she was brought before him. Seated at his desk, in the very throne of his authority, Lucille felt him a very much more formidable being than when he met him on the deck. This man was her enemy, would THE FILM MAKER "I am Lucille Love, daughter of Benton Love." "Your name, please?" quizzed the commander shortly. Lucille fell a shrill of pride running "My dunian old" said old gentley, to Lloyd Love—member of General Sunder Love, United States army. The commander hold out his hand. "I am in 'recipet of orders from Washington,' he said quietly, "to most Hugo Loubeque, who would turn over to me certain papers and orders which he received from General Love while in command at Manila, and which he said— "It's a lie!" Lucille's voice rang against the sides of the cabin with vibrant force. "Yes, a die," she repeated, quieting the fury which was racking her. "My father did receive the papers. There was a military ball in progress at the time. He gave them to his aid. Lieutenant Gibson, my dance, to put in the safe. That night they were stolled by a servant in the employ of Hugo Loubeque; stolen. I tell you, not sold." The commander nodded coldly. "Your contention is a matter for the court of inquiry to thresh out. I am under orders to receive the packet of papers and take them to that court, together with the allydavit of Hugo Loubeque that they were sold to him. If they are in your possession, I will take them; if not, I shall be forced to turn-back and find Mr. Loubeque." The papers are in my possession, sir. They belong to me until I can turn them over to my father, to whom they were sent. What he will do with them is a matter for the court of inquiry to decide." "That is quite impossible," the man snapped sharply. "In the first place, your story is quite incredible." Lucille Love was drowned when the Empress took fire." "Lucille Love is here, sir. Lucille Love is aboard the Empress, now there with Mr. Harley, the government aviator, because she knew from a message she cut in on upon the telephone that Hugo Loubeque was aboard the Empress and that he had the papers. Ever since, through jungle, desert, land and water, I have followed him. I have seen the spy's diary. It is here with the papers—always. That will show his hatred for my father. That will explain. That will prove my story." Even as the captain nodded, rising to his feet to eagerly watch the girl's frantic search through the packet, a little, dry sub broke from her lips. She recovered herself with an effort, shaking her head as though to drive away the mists of fatness which this, the crowning misfortune, had delivered her. The diary of Hugo Loubeque was not among the papers she had recovered. The captain molded toward his ensign, who, with a glance of sympathy toward the stricken girl, scooped up the papers and laid them before his commanding officer. Ludlie turned and slowly left the room. Her eyes were fastened directly ahead but she walked as one who journeys in slumber, unseeing, be-numbed. And her lips repeated over and over again: "Too cruel! Cruel! Cruel!" Exit Hygge Loubise. ELEGANT DAILY, plain clothes man of the San Francisco po- lice department, shows scene- by a sign of interest, as he was assigned to the mysterious case at the St. Francis. Swiftly he took in the salient details of the house detective, the discovery of a man's dead body in the suit of a young woman who had registered there under the name of Lucille Love. Then he went immediately to the room and examined the corpse. Thompson had not been touched. He lay as he had been when Hugo Loubeure looked back at him from the doorway, his body twisted a bit from the struggle with the spy, his right hand tightly clinching the revolver in his mouth. Daly bent over him, uttering a little elocation of surprise which whetted the curiosity of the manager instantly: After a long interval he rose to his feet, holding a soiled linen label in his hand. "Frank Thompson," he smiled quietly. "Here is the name of the tailor who made the suit he wears. I wonder how he ever came to go to Manila." "Manila?" Frankly curious was the manager. "Yes-Manila. No wonder that crook hasn't been active in the states for the last couple of years. Wonder what ever pulled Chicago Tom that far away from State street." "Then he was a crook?" "It's my turn to ask questions," the sergeant interrupted sharply. "You say this suit was assigned to Lucille Love." "A young woman who was arrested yesterday, sergeant, when she was caught in Mr. Loubeque's suit. She came here with Mr. Loubeque and he registered her. Her first night he created a sensation by paying one of the cabaret to allow her to dance in her place. Yesterday a call came to the office from Loubeque's suit that a hotel sneak thief was in his apartment. When the detectives arrived the place was vacant, but the young woman was caught on the fire escape and arrested, paroled in the custody of Mr. Roller, the big jeweler. It is a case of suicide, sergeant?" Daly shook his head. "Susiele! I should rather guess not. Look at the man's gums. The gun was forced into his mouth and the gums badly bruised in the doing of it. Where can I find this Lucille Love or Loubeque?" Before the manager could answer the telephone bell tinkled. He turned to the detective excitedly, his hand pressed over the phone mouthpiece. "A Lieutenant Gibson calling on Miss he explained." "Tell him to wait." Richard Gibson was little inclined for cross examination when first the two men approached him. Shamed of his unreasoning jealousy of the girl he loved, he had fought the battle out with himself, coming to the conclusion that there must be a reasonable explanation for her conduct. Sergeant Daly provided him steadily a moment, then his name and person for his writings to know everything. Gibson whirled upon the manager, his face ["] with rage, then glanced. "And you had her arrested—you had her" — Daly held the arm that was about to strike, nothing him with quirking words. Gibson sung upon his heel and left the hotel, black hatred, suspicious, fear, a thousand and one emotions in his heart. At the jeweler's his tale caused the proprietor to almost have a stroke of apoplexy. "A murdered man in her suit while she was in the station house!" he gaped. "Then she won!"—He fairly wept in the depths of his emotions. "Then the necklace I sold must have been stolen," he finally cried, his eyes flashing viciously. "Sold—this necklace sold—who bought it?" "A Hugo Loubeque—never heard of a millionaire by such a name, but he had the two hundred thousand to buy it, and I let it go." "Hugo Loubequer!" Gibson grasped the amazed man by the shoulders and fairly shook answers from him. Dick Gibson rushed from the establishment finally, an idea in his head which he cursed himself for not having thought of before—the house where he had last seen Lloydie. Might not, was not, this mysterious Loubeque the one, whose hand he had seen dragging her from the window? Breatheslessly he darted up to the door and, finding the lock still unrepaired, dashed inside and up the stairs. Suddenly he stopped, halted abruptly. He could hear no sound, yet was positive some one was close to him, that he was being watched. "You wished to see me, sir?" Silent and sway, his great, brooding eyes holding a light of melancholy and sorrow such as the young officer had never witnessed before, appearing as if by magic and now facing him, was Hugo Loubeque. "Loubeque"—he stammered. The international bowed gravely, his eyes still fastened upon the young man before him. And as his eyes sought the carpet, away from the magnetic power of the man, all the rage returned to the young officer. This man was the one who had taken his sweetheart. His eyes roved the room, lighting upon a pair of broadswords crossed upon the wall. He caught the smile on the spy's face when he looked again at him and knew his thoughts had been read. "What have you done with Lucille Love?" he cried. "Miss Love," murmured Loubeque, his voice taking on a sighing note that fairly tortured the listener's ear—"Miss Love is on a warship bound for Washington, I believe." "You know a man was murdered in her suit—that she was arrested as a hotel anekk thief?" "Miss Love has been through many more trying situations than that," answered Loubeque slowly, "since she pitted herself against me." "Pitted herself against you! Then it was you who stole the paper"— "Quite so." Hugo Loubeque turned upon his heel, but the iron grip of the officer was upon his shoulder, whirling him about so that their faces met. Like a panther Gibson leaped across the floor, seizing the brondwords. Enough, by wrist alone, Loubeque played with the man. His eye held no expression save that of one looking very far away, and, mournful, distant. That look of indifference only served to madden Gibson doubly: Fortunately he lunged, when suddenly the blade of his adversary whirled, sending out scores of schultizing lights as it danced in the air above his head. He fell back as from a blow, his wrist numbed and deeded by the wrench that had carried the handle of the heavy sword from his grasp. Hugo Loubeque had dropped his own blade to the door and was studying him quietly, no glimmer in his eyes. Gibson glared over his head. The sword was still swaying from side to side from the fury with which it had been driven into the low hanging wooden beam overhead. Instinctively his hand reached to recover his weapon when Loubeque laid a hand of iron upon his shoulder. "That will do," he cried sternly. "Be a man, air." Again that mellow light drove the light of anger from his eyes. His lips opened and the voice of him was little more than a sigh: "such a man as Miss Lancelie Love deserves." Gibson looked at him, startled, aghast. Once more Loubeque would have spoken when, from below stairs, came the shrill screech of a policeman's whistle, followed almost instantly by a rush of feet upon the stairs. The spy's right hand moved along the desk, picking up a small ivory box, exquisitely carved, which he handed to Gibson. "You will kindly give this to-Lucille-with my compliments and felicitations," he murmured. Gibson stared at him, wondering at the lack of emotion on his face in this moment of peril. Slowly, steadily Loubeque stepped backward. Then suddenly a yawning panel stood beside him. He stood in the cavity a second, smiling as the door burst open, and Sergent Daly, followed by a squad of officers, lurched into the room. "That's him!" Daily's shoot turned into a wild yelp of terror, as the room shot from under the feet of the occupants and they found themselves precipitated into the very bowels of the house. It was half an hour before they managed to find their way out; half an hour which swallowed up the international spy completely as though it had been the grave. Desperately, Lucille finished her dressing and turned to look out the hotel window over Pennsylvania avenue. She was alone in Washington. When the captain of the Terror had spoken of the court of legality before which General Bampter Love was being tried for selling the paper he had received from Washington, she had conquered up visions of him behind bars. But when she realized on reaching the city that he was at a hotel, flying quite this scene in one blinded was allowed to live, her joy had subsumed almost every other fighting. It had been four days new, however, and still she had not called up sufficient courage to ask him. All night she had been awake trying to scheme up some method of killing him. The papers she had received, and it seemed that instead of helping she had placed in the hands of the government exactly what they wanted to convict. She determined to appeal to the secretary of war. Surely there might be some chance in an appeal to him. And so this stolling, after a long, timorous glance up and down the long avenue, she had started for the army and navy building. "Miss Lucille Love—Lucille Love—" "The secretary turned the card ever and over in his hands while regarding her narrowly the while. "I have heard of you. Miss Love, and of the papers. You may rest assured your story will receive every attention in the conduct of the trial of your father. Certainly you know the nation can ill afford to lose such a man just at this time." "But you can investigate—my story is strange, unbelievable," she pleaded THE He Placed the Ivory Box In Her Hands He Placed the Ivory Box In Her Hands impulsively. "I know that. But if you would only investigate you would find that I tell the truth." "All details of your story have been proved, Miss Love," gravely, sadly, an- swered the cabinet minister, "but there is no evidence in your father's favor. What would be the motive for Hugo Loubeque?" "Revenge," she answered quickly. "Can't you see?" "If it could be proved"— He was interrupted by the entrance of a clerk with a card. The secretary frowned, then listened to the whispered explanation of the man, a slight smile upon his face. "Mr. Gibson—formerly Lieutenant Gibson". Little sprang to her feet, all confusion. The last time she had seen her sweetheart he had repudiated her. Gibson entered quickly, halted abruptly at sight of the woman he loved standing there, with the gentle love light in her eyes and the reproach of a maid offended in her form. Slowly, very slowly, he placed the little ivory box in her hands, the box which Hugo Loubeque had given to him. She looked at him inquiringly and his lips parted: "From Hugo Loubeque with hopes for forgiveness and felicitation." With trembling fingers she pried open the delicate lid, then gave a sharp cry of disappointment that was echoed by one of male admiration and amazement from the others as, turning the box upside down, the wonderful ruby necklace fell upon the floor, every blood red facet darting a thousand threats at them. But Lucille's eyes paid the necklace no heed. Instead they fastened upon a little slip of paper in the bottom of the box: "Page from diary of Hugo Loubeque. "In account with General Sumpter Love for dismissal from West Point and robbing me of Lucille— "Theft committed"— She read no farther, but, sobbing with the abandonment of a child, placed the page from the diary in the hands of the secretary of war. "I see," he murmured quietly. "You say, Mr. Gibson, Hugo Loubeque gave this to you to hand to Miss Love?" "Yes sir." "If you do not object, Miss Love," he said to the girl, with a little knowing smile in, the direction of her sweet heart. "I shall take this immediately before the board of inquiry." I think, with your story and the verifications I have gathered of its details, it will not only clear your father, but also return to the army a young lieutenant who had been named captain at the time this unfortunate incident occurred." Evidently, important cabinet officer though he was, the secretary expected no answer, for he did not even glance back at the temple, who were so forgetful of epiphany as to ignore him But Lucille felt her arms clench, close about the neck of Richard Gilson, and that young man was only mindful of his burden at the moment. At his desk General Sumpter Love until as the murmur of two caddies came to him. His eyes crossed wearily and his head sank forward upon his chest, a victim of dreams' dreams of the long ago. It had been hard, giving up to another this daughter whom he had only just recalled. And yet— and yet—there was another Lucille— "Lucille." You called father. Lacille's arms were about his neck. just as they had been about his neck that other time in Mangla when she and he escaped by the door, the storm. And Glaphe, with the sound of a capella, with standing men in the doorway. He had ransom to get the two pelt cheek of her. Then his fugue answered the northwest about her threat. As though he had struck a snake, his hand touched. "Loebqueque's necklace!" he murmured. The arms about his neck tightened. The cheek was pressed against his own. "Poor, poor Hugo," she murmured. "Poor, poor man who did not know there was no room for him in a world that might be filled with love. Poor, poor man." The three were silent. There was no room for words. Ghosts were all about—whispering, nothing ghosts that murmured over and over again— "Loucille—Loucille!" Ghosts that had an echo from the lips of a world weary man directly under the earth from them—Hugo Loebeque, alone with his ghosts that murmured always— DREAMS COME TRUE Warsa Battles In the Air and Under the Surface of the Sea. From the beginning of time men have dreamed of flying. Winged horses and magic carpets figure in the literature of all ages. It was not an impossible dream, and the sight of the birds around them inspired inventors of the earliest time to attempt to overcome the laws of gravitation which bound them to the surface of the earth. However, it was not until the latter part of the eighteenth century that a man was able to suspend himself above the surface, and more than another century, passed before any important improvement was made on the earliest balloon manufactured in France. Within the last ten years the dream of flying has come true, and the machines have been perfected to such a degree that man can now outpace the birds of the air just as the locomotive and the automobile have enabled him to distance the fastest footed animals. Other wonders of invention which have seen the light during the last century and a half, beginning with the steam engine, were hardly thought of before they became realities. If in some past age a prophet had predicted that a man would be able to talk to another man 1,000 miles away or that the voice of a living man could be so recorded that it could be heard after his death, the prophet would have been scoffed at, yet these wonders came to pass before the aeroplane was invented, though men looked forward to flying since the beginning of time. So fast do modern inventions change the conditions under which we live that it is quite within the limits of possibility that the wars of the future will be fought mainly in the air and under the surface of the sea—New York Globe Meaning of Half Hast Ever since flags were used in War, says the Yorkshire Post, it has been the custom to have the emblem of the superior or conquering nation above that of the inferior or vanquished. When an army found itself hopelessly beaten it hauled its flag down far enough for the flag of the victors to be placed above it on the same pole. That was a token not only of submission, but of respect. In those days when a famous soldier died flags were lowered out of respect to his memory. The custom long ago passed into common use. The flag flying at half mast is a sign that one is dead who was worthy of universal respect. The space left above the flag is for the flag of the great conqueror of all—the angel of death. Consolation. A husband, if few weeks after the honeymoon, came home and said in desolate accents: "My love, I'm heartbroken. My salary has been cut down 15 per cent." "Oh, that's nothing," cried the young bride cheerfully. "Cheep & Co are advertising perfectly lovely things cut down 25 percent." Exchange. A SHREWD TRADER. He Used a Clever Ruse to Get the Information He Needed. A wealthy merchant in Parts who had an extensive business with Japan was informed that a prominent firm in Yokohama had failed, but he could not learn the name of the firm. He could have learned the truth by cabling, but to save expense he went to a well known banker who had received the news and requested him to reveal the name of the firm. "That's a very delicate thing to do," replied the banker, "for the news is not official, and if I give you the name I might incur some responsibility." "The merchant argued, but in vain, and finally he made this proposition." "I will give you," he said, "a list of ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask you to look through it, and then tell me, without mentioning any name, whether or not the name of the firm which has failed appears in it. Surely you will do that for me?" "Yes," said the banker, "for if I do not mention any name I cannot be held responsible in any way." The list was made out, the banker handed through it and, as he handed it back to the merchant, said: "The name of the merchant who has failed is there." "Then I have not heavily," replied the merchant, for that is the firm with which I did business," showing him a name on the list. "But how do you know that is the firm which has failed?" asked the banker in surprise. "Very easily," replied the merchant. "Of the ten names on the list only one is genuine—that of the firm with which I did business. All the others are fictitious." "DANGER," a new serial by A.

Copyright, 1914, by American Press Association JUST as the clocks struck midnight and ushered in the dawn of a new year Lindly Folsom lifted his right hand and solemnly made vow. "Never again—never again," he promised savagely—"never again will I ask Irma-Wade to marry me." Lindly had pursued the beautiful Miss Wade for upward of a year, and three times, had he proposed to her and had been refused. "I am afraid it is merely a habit you have contracted," she told him the last time. "Then it's a habit I lit break" he fashed grimly, and now he w The year was still you sat beside Irma at a d "Do you believe in N lutions?" she asked. Likely reddened and "I never made but mitted. "You will tell me if you are ful in keeping that one?" "Yes," he smiled frantically "on New Year's eve." Months passed and Linnly Folsom saw very little of Miss Wade. To his surprise Irina did not avoid him as in the past, but appeared almost eager to renew their friendship upon old terms. Linnly tried to interest himself in other girls just as charming as Irina Webb, but his attempt was a failure. "Hang it all!" he growled one day "I can't help staying in love with her, but I can and will keep that resolution not to propose to her again." Summer waned and autumn flung a gorgeous cloak of cinnamon and gold over the countryside. One day in late October he was riding in the park. Down a leafy tunnel of golden mules came the sound of runaway hoofs. Around a bend in the bridle path flashed a black mare, and clinging to the foam flocked neck was Irma Webb, a matchless horsewoman. Lindly snatched at the flying bridle rein, caught it, dragged the animal to a standstill and received in his strong arms Irma's half fainting form. The smile on her lovely lips tempted him almost beyond his strength. "I promised myself," he reminded, and his hold slackened as he allowed the girl to slip to her feet. She leaned against his arm, and her face suddenly went very white. "I will call a taxi and accompany you home," said Lindly. "Please call the taxi and then send my, mare home. I am perfectly able to go home alone. I am sorry that you have been troubled. Mr. Folsom," she said gravely. "I shall call this evening to inquire after you," said Lindly when he put her into the taxicab. "I shall be glad to see you," she said softly. Lindly took her smile and looked and took home with him. All day he saw them—at his office, at dinner and later when he chose to walk up the avenue toward the Wade mansion. Born, charmingly sweet and girlish in a pale rose colored gown, thanked him politely for his hercule reappeal of his morning, and Mrs. Wade, with his fingers and always been a fa NOVEMBER JOE Ackee November Joe Traps the Highwayman A.K.B.C.L.

But he set his lips grimly, and the words were quittered. He took leave hurriedly and did not see her again until the very last day of December. The Wades were giving a fancy dress ball, and the guests were to dance the old year out and the new one in. Lindly Forson, dressed as a cavallier looked unusually handsome in his cos tune of peach colored satin with powdered hair and face ruffles. Irma was a Quaker mould. "You have not forgotten?" she asked him once when they were dancing to gether. "That I was to tell you the result of my New Year's resolution?" "Yes. When the clocks chime in the new year you must make confession." "I will. That will be about supper time. May I have that dance?" Irma gave him her card, and he scribbled his name there. Then he gave her into the hands of another partner and went away to moon by himself in the conservatory. He was dissatisfied with himself. The year was ended, and he was as deeply in love with Irma as ever. Yet he dared not believe that she cared for him. So long did he sit there that he quite forgot the flying moments until Irma herself came into the conservatory alone. "Oh, you are here!" she cried. "I have searched everywhere for you, Sir Cavailer. I began to suspect that you were trying to avoid confession." "I have been thinking," he said gloomily as he placed a chair for her in a secluded nook by the golddish pool. "One is prone to meditate at the close of the year, wondering if the best has been made of it—if one has done all the possible good in one's power, has grouped all the happiness offered."

"It is a risky thing to make a solemn resolution binding the entire year; still we might begin this new year with a resolution.

A man who bought a new suit of clothes the other day at one of the establishments that sells a large quantity of ready made clothing discovered that the trousers of the suit contained an extra pocket which accessed his curiously. It was small, about the size of a watch pocket and opened on the inside of the right hand trousers pocket making it invisible as far as outward appearance went. At the top of the little pocket there was stiff material, which it closed, so that on putting one hand in the large pocket the little one would not be found unless its presence was known. "Something new but it?" the customer asked the man. "Yes, that's a new into style since the war started, a shortage of loose clothes" was the reply. "A person making a hurried search through the pocket for plumbing has no luck at all when the owner of the suit uses this pocket unless she hears something funny. Best plans to wrap your change up in a dollar bill." The customer paid for the suit and left orders for the clothes to be delivered to him at a bachelor apartment house town New York Times.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1914 People who spend money extravagantly are usually after people who save theirs. The national prohibition amendment to the Constitution of the United States or rather the proposition to submit it to a vote of the people was defeated in the House of Representatives last Tuesday. When a woman suddenly changes her attitude for the better, it is either near Christmas time or, she is about to ask a favor of you. The strange part about it is that many men are the same way. --- The war in Europe is now at a point where it is difficult to tell, just which side has the advantage although it appears that if the decision was given on points alone scored, Germany and her allies would win "with hands down." This is privately admitted by all who are conversant. --- White and colored people here are dealing in cocaine, commonly known as "coke". The reason for it is that the price has gone up and there is a "world of profit" in the business due to the fact that the punishment for selling it is confinement in the penitentiary. The victims pay the price and get the dope. --- Editor William Monroe Trotte has fallen out with President Woodrow Wilson and recently there appeared in the columns of his journal a "cut" of that plausible that would do discredit to a New York Rowley tough. The color resembles that of Jack Johnson and there is only one other picture approaching it in boldness and that is the one of Dr. Booker T. Washington in the Guardian office. --- Messrs J. B. Dudley, C. C. Amery A. M. Rivera and J. E. Dellinier seem to be having "grouch shielding" of R. in North Carolina. It seems that they attacked the administration of the financial affairs of the Grand Lodge of Masons in that State in general and the report of Grand Secretary C. S. Brown in particular. The latter took them to poste court of the city of Haleigh, where the four gentlemen in question were adjudged guilty of libel. They are not satisfied with that decision and they are fighting the case out to a finish. All of the parties to the controversy are of high standing and it is to be hoped that the matter may be satisfactorily adjusted without a further appeal to the Court. המשתמש יכול להשתמש במשתמשים כאלה. OUR POLITICAL RIGHTS AND THE PIG QUESTION. --- Dr. Booker T. Washington, the foremost citizen of color in all of this land was in New York recently and the New York Sun quotes him as follows The present war will have a serious effect on more than ten million white and negro farmers who grow cotton in the South, according to a statement made yesterday by Dr. Booker T. Washington, the noted negro educator, when seen at the Hotel Bilimore on his arrival from Tukagree, Ala. Dr. Washington said the depressed price of cotton would hamper the farmers in paying their debts, purchasing foods and other necessities and the raising of the next crop. He was much pleased, he said, with the remarks of President Wilson in outlining his attitude toward the negro when he told the University Commission on Southern Race Questions on Tuesday that "our object is to know the needs of the negro, and sympathetically help him in every way that is possible for his good and our good." Dr. Washington has a right to be pleased with what President Wilson said. But what did the distinguish- ed occupant of the White House mean by his statement. It seems to us that the last remark has a significant if not a sinister meaning. He would help the Negro sympathetically in every way. possible for the Negro's good and his own good. He reminds us of a remark frequently made of the dog. He is designated as man's best friend. In reading President Wilson's remarks, we thought of the fact that the Negro is the southern whiteman's best friend, and to this particular class of Negroes, the southern white man is his best friend. But what about the other kind of colored people, designated by the President and by Dr. Washington as Negroes. We refer to the educated kind, those who are graduates from Harvard, Yale, Cornell, the University of Pennsylvania, Ann Arbor, Oberlin and Howard? They do not belong to the class that need and demand the sympathetic support of the President and his corps of southern sympathizers. They ask for their rights under the law and they take their place as an individual unit of this Republic asking no external favors and demanding none. This is the only problem in the American Republic at the present time. These people ask for rights as American citizens. They are not interested particularly in raising one colour pigs, but in building for themselves alongside of their white neighbors. We do not wish to discountance the efforts of the Commission on Southern Race Questions. These Gentlemen mean well, but they make the mistake of not realizing that there are two classes of Negroes here now. The self-respecting, self-supporting, thrifty colored men are asking that they be accorded their civil and political rights and that they be considered as a part of the American body politic and be not treated as allens, as Indians, Chinmen or outcasts. We insist that President Woodrow Wilson shall recognize us in an official capacity as citizens and not as wards of the nation. We cannot understand how President Wilson can use the term our good in any other sense than that of speaking for the American people, of which American people, the colored people are a part. The southern white man is a diplomat, a scholar and an economist. He is educating the thousands of colored pupils called Negroes along the lines of his ideas and they become servile, devoid of manhood, with only here and there scantillations of that independent spirit which exercises itself when he goes to universities to study the history of the world and to learn how nations have become truly great Dr. Washington is proceeding along material lines and he is devoting himself to the task of elevating the masses. May God speed him in his efforts. Still thousand of whitenes are beginning to believe that the other class of colored American citizens are willingly sacrificing their rights of citizenship for the sake of this kind of material progress, while a poster of fact with the surreverder of civil and political rights will soon come the confession of the very material wealth of which Dr. Washington so publicly speaks. Property rights are based upon manhood rights, the right of citizenship. When you yield up the right of citizenship, you endure the pig and the property that you have accumulated and you make the Negro the foot ball of every avaricious white man who destroys to rob him of his property. We see this now in the segregation net passed in many southern cities where colored citizens who own property are denied the right to enjoy the possession of the property that they own. But what should Dr. Washington say? The New York Sun continues. "Every thoughtful man North and South," he went on, will agree with the President. I think his statement represents a growing liberal sentiment on the part of an increasingly large group of Southern white people. The President has always manifested a deep interest in the education and development of our race even before he went to the White House. I have had occasion to know. In regard to his suggestion made recently that each negro family raise one or more additional pigs this year, to help bring about more property in the South Dr. Washington said. "I have been surprised to note how well this suggestion has been received and how many are following it. One church pastor in Uniontown Ala. went so far as to organize a pik club among the members of his congregation. "Now I want to make one other suggestion that in my opinion is of still greater and more practical importance. For months the great cry all through the South has been to stop the growing of cotton or to reduce the acreage. Chambers of Commerce, business leagues, State Legislatures and other bodies have adopted resolutions without end, urging that we in the South stop growing so much cotton. To stop growing cotton is very easy; in fact it is always easy to stop work. But merely to stop growing cotton in a more negative property will fail. And so the South much better off than at present. If we destroy or cripple a great industry we should be very sure to have one or a number equally good to put in its place." Dr. Washington spoke last night before the Wednesday Eveing Club THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Father Time Loops the Loop Again Dr. Washington is sound in his discussion of the economics questions. He is all right on many other questions and we hope that the course folks, who can do so will go into the pig-raising business, despite the fact that swine are the driest animals in all creation in the raising and their merit is shunned by the Jaws. Cotton planters among the colored people must take their places with the cotton planters among the white people. When one loses, the other must lose. Colored farmers owe white men and when they cannot pay, the white men-frown and the colored farmers take their troubles to God, telling every body about it in the weekly prayer meetings. We pause to remark that when the various commissions will make a recommendation, that the plain provisions of the American Constitution be observed and obeyed by President Wilson and all men in authority, the puzzling conditions with reference to the other class of Negroes will disappear like the frost before the sun. An organized gang of bank robbers yesterday descended upon Richmond stole more than $2,000 from the Central National Bank, attempted to steal a large amount of money from under the door, John M. Miller, III, a fellow member of National Bank, threw three or more forged checks on Richmond merchant and disappeared without leaving a trail of their visit to the city except the vacant office in the tills of the Central National Bank and the forged checks, which the police now hold. The local business world was started during the early forenoon when it was learned that an attempt had been made to rob the First National Bank: it was alarmed during the early afternoon when news looked out that forced certified checks had been successfully passed, with the Planters' National Bank as a victim, and business men were nearly paralyzed by the discovery late yesterday afternoon that more than $2,000 had been stolen from the Central National Bank while the receiving teller, Lynwood F. Vincent, of 8 North Rowland Street, was talking with an alleged prospective depositor over the telephone. BOLDEST ROBBERY KNOWN TO LOCAL POLICE The theft of the money from the Central National Bank, 307 East Broad Street, is the boldest which has ever been consummated in Richmond according to the police. There is every evidence that the robbery had been planned to the most minute detail and that events occurred exactly as the robbers had anticipated, no excitement and no alarm the loss of the money not discovered until some time after Vincent had returned from the tel- It required until 5:25 o'clock in the signature of Cashier Smith had been afternoon for the bank officials to forked within the rubber stamper mark phone and we are in the bank could remember seeing a single near him window during the time he was absent; yet the money was gone. Detective-Sergeant Louis Kellam was sent to the Central National Bank at 5:35 o'clock in response to a request from Charles Hutier president of the institution. On arriving at the bank the details of the loss were explained. According to the officials made the detective by officials the incident was decoyed from his booth in the next booth at exactly 1:15 o'clock. In the same booth with the telephone was the switchboard operator Miss Ransome. Neither heard any one in the bank outside the wickets and neither suspected the robbery RECEIVING TELLER WAS CALLED TO TELEPHONE Vincent informed Detective Kellam that a man whose name was mumbled to him over the wire, and which he was unable to understand had told him that the bank had been recommended to him by clerks at the Richmond Hotel, and that he wished to send a woman friend of his there to open an account. The man told Vincent that the woman was a business method, and that he hoped to be courteously and informed as to the routines to be observed in opening an account and in checking on it. The man prolonged his talk for some time, and in a rather rambling way, Vincent told Detective Kellam and this fact became so evident that the teller was forced to tell him several times that it would be all right—to send the woman to the bank, and that everything would be explained to her. He said the man asked the discussion to continue the discussion, and that became so, foolish that Vincent finally told him again to send the woman to the institution and hung up the receiver. He remarked on the conversation to the switchboard operator, and returned to his booth. This occurred between 1:15 o'clock and 1:23 o'clock, while Vincent was engaged in gathering together the ends of the day's business preparatory to closing. He had left several piles of bills on the shelf within his window, one of them containing $500 in $10 bills, which had been deposited two minutes before. On the shelf were all the bills of bills, all neatly banded together, and mostly in denominations of $10, and packed in piles of $250 each. Vincent continued his work for a few minutes before he noticed the absence of the packet containing the $500. He searched carefully, and then feverishly, only to learn that not only was this packet missing, but that several others were likewise gone from the shelf. Cashier P. E. Goodwyn was notified, and he at once informed President Charles Hutler of what had occurred. A thorough investigation was begun, and a careful balancing of the day's accounts showed that at least $2,000 had been stolen. The bank officials said last night that this was the sum as nearly as could be determined at that time. BANK WAITED TO VERIFY LOSS BEFORE NOTIFYING POLICE. completes their investigation of the loss sustained, and during that time the news of the robbery was carefully guarded from the outside world. The police were informed later, and Detective Kellam began work on the case at once. However, the great loss of time resulting from the failure to notify the police immediately after the discovery that there had been a robbery has enabled the robbers to escape from the city, the police believe. Detective Kellam is of the opinion that the decoy telephone message was pre-arranged after a careful study of conditions in the bank had been made. The decoy business being done, but the clerk will spend several minutes in a talk with a prospective customer without neglecting his work. The switchboard operator Miss Ransom, at her desk in the next booth was unable to see above the ledge within the steel railing of the windows, and Vincent's back was turned to the interior of the bank when he was talking over the telephone. MUST HAVE-USED WIRE OR OR LIGHT WALKING CANE All of this was true of the actual occurrence of the robbery. Detective Kellam said that a man could have entered unobserved, and later escaped without attracting attention. The detective is of the opinion that the space between the window shelf and the lower bar of the steel wicket is too small to allow a man's hand or some tool of bollosse that wire or some tool of bollosse could be drawn in drawing the money through the window. It was then a simple matter for the thief to make his exit from the bank and to disappear. The disappearance was complete. There is no way of telling whether the thieves had secured an automobile in case it was necessary to make a hurried departure, or whether the man simply walked away with the $2,000 tucked into an overcook pock. The thieves had no description by which the police in case of the thief, for no thief was seen, and there is no evidence left behind in the bank which can furnish a start for the detective investigation. THREE CHECKS ON PLANTERS' ARE FORGED During the early afternoon officials of the Planters' National Bank discovered that three certified checks returned to them from Lee Ferguson, Biggs Antique Furniture Company and the Hall Optical Company, through the American National Bank were forgoies, and so notified the police and the business houses concerned. These checks were presented to the merchants named in payment for purchases, and as they were certified and bore the signature of Richard H. Smith, cashier of the Planters' National Bank, they were cashed without question. Two of the checks for $7.50 and the other was for $57.50, and the men who presented them are credited with offering $36.50 on the $7.50 check offered Biggs, the same amount on the check for $77.50 given the Hall Optical Company, and $35 on the check given Lee Ferguson. In each case these checks were made payable to W. D. Bennett, and were signed R. M. Simpson. All of the checks were dated December 15 and each here the certification stamp of the Planters' National Bank. The signature of Cashier Smith had been written with a ing, according to officials of that in situation. FORGED SIGNATURE OF CASHIER IN CERTIFICATION Detective-Sergeants Wiltshire and Bailey were sent to the Planters Bank to investigate the checks as soon as the matter was reported to police headquarters. The detectives found that persons in each of the three stores where the checks were passed furnished different descriptions of the man who offered them. In no case were the merchants able to give a complete description of the man or man, and the difference in their descriptions of them led the police to believe it possible that different members of an organised gang offered checks in the various stores. As in the case of the robbery of the Central National Bank, the police are at a loss for a point at which to begin their investigations. Representatives of the various firms were taken to police headquarters yesterday afternoon and were shown through a video to identify any of the photographs as pictures of the man who had offered them the worthless checks. There is no clue open to the police except the signatures on the checks. USED DIFFERENT RUBBER STAMP FROM THAT OF BANK Detective Wiltshire noticed as soon as the checks were shown him that the rubber certification stamp on the forged checks was not a duplicate of that used by the Plantera National Bank, and inquired why this fact was not noticed by the merchanta The stamp on the forged checks is a large circular impression, a series of sawtooth indentations running around the outer border. The stamp is probably two inches in diameter. the That used by the Planters' Bank the is scarcely larger than a silver dol- lock-lar. It is said, and its border is plain. The wording in the two stamps is the said to be the same, but different and size type was used in the forgery in from that of the real stamp. The start checks were passed on the merchants Saturday afternoon. It was learned last night. Because of this fact, Sergeant Wiltshire is of the opinion that the man or man who passed them immediately left the city. The als dis- agreed that the man who offered the re- chocks was gray-haired, and that on, this accounted for the varying esti- mates as to his age. IMITATED HANDWRITING OF CASHIER SMITH Detective Wilshire said last night that the writing of the name Simpson was to all appearances that of a woman. That of Bennett appears as though it might have been written by an old man or one under the influence of liquor. That of Cashman Smith is said to be a fairly good counterfeit of his own, and would readily pass an genuine. The checking-up of the checks in the bank after the business of the day had been completed was the means by which the forgeries were detected. The National Bank is said to be the sole result of the forgeries, on account of the forged certification and the forged name of its cashier. This bank is also under the protection of the American Banks' Protective Association, and burns detectives will be called upon to investigate this operation. BOLD ATTEMPT IS MADE AT FIRST NATIONAL The effect of these two inroads made yesterday on local banks was accentuated by the fact that an attempt to steal $10,000 from the shipping clerk's window of the First National Bank, was made during the morning. The alerts of Teller John M. Miller, III, saved the money for the bank, it is said. The teller saw the four men as they gathered about the window and endeavored to force open the wicket, and thus enable them to teach through and secure the piles of bills of large denominations which were lying on the shelf within. The attempted robbery was made during the absence of Shipping Teller B. J. Woodward about 11:30 o'clock. Miller saw the men as they attempted to force back the latch which held the wicket window and speed across the bank from his own booth so that of Woodward. One of the men entered the bank room, he was facing the bank room, saw Miller as he started, and, making a signal to his companions, hurried out. He was followed at once by the three other men, and all escaped before they could be apprehended. MILLER FURNISHES POLICE THEIR ONLY DESCRIPTION Miller furnished the police fairly good descriptions of three of the men, and said that he thought he would be able to identify at least one of them. Bank officials communicated with Police Headquarters at once and Detective Sergeant Wiltshire, at the time, sent a patrolman to the bank in response to their request that a policeman be sent. Woodward, upon returning to the bank, at once counted the money on his shelf and found it intact. The latch of the window was bent near nearly an inch, and the police are of the opinion that had the robbers been given a few minutes' time they would have succeeded in securing the $10,000. It is said that one of the mon carried a light walking cane, an instrument, used by sneak bank robbers to draw piles of money through the windows.—Times-Dispatch, Dec. 23rd, 1914. DESPONDENCY ASSIGNED AS REASON FOR SUICIDE Came Here From Durham N. C. and Was Varsely Employed as Stenographer. (Times-Dispatch Doc. 24, 1914.) Miss Billington, South Warwick two years old of 15 South Fifth Street, leaped from a window on the tenth floor of the Mutual Building at 8:30 --- The suicide was one of the most sensational that has occurred in Richmond within recent years. News of the rash act was quickly circulated in the downtown section of the city, and within a few minutes the streets were almost blocked with curiosity seekers, who made every effort to locate the victims, the glimpses of the mangleed figure which lay on the walkway. The windows of the Mutual Building were crowded with persons from the various offices, and for nearly an hour after the undertaker had removed the body persons continued to crowd into the court and to gaze for minute after-minute at the spot where the young woman's body had fallen. Superintendent William Parker, of the Mutual Bulldog, was in his office, directly opposite the spot where the body fell, when he was startled by the sound of its impact against the stone walkway. He hurriedly entered the court, and was the first person to reach the woman. She was already dead. Ambulance Surgeon Walker, who arrived shortly afterwards, said that death had probably been instantaneous. Superintendent Parker said that Judied from the body of the woman walked the walkway that some piece of heavy machinery had fallen from a window. E. G. Freeman, who occupies office 1018 in the Mutual Bulldog, is said to have been passing along the corridor at the time Smith climbed into the window. The lower sash had already been raised and the young woman was standing almost erect at the time she saw her. Freeman at once realized her intentions, and called to her. At that instant she leaped. Freeman turned and sped to the elevator, by which he descended to the aisleway, where the insurance agent, with offices on the ninth floor also noticed the window, and remarked upon the fact that it was raled, but did not know of the suicide until after he had been in his office several minutes. STRIKES RAILING IN DOWNWARD FLIGHT. The young woman is supposed to have gone to the women's waiting-room, from the window of which she leaped, about 3:25 o'clock. She sprang from the window about 3:30 o'clock. In the descent her body struck an iron railing, leading to a stairway down to the former offices of the Virginia State Fair Association. The body rebounded and crashed to the concrete walk below, where it lav a lifeless, mangled mass. A vanity case carried by the young woman was crushed. So, too, was a bracered and several rings, portions of which were picked up near the spot where her body was found. Only the nosepiece of her glasses was found, and her clothing was torn and destroyed. A trap-cap on a water drain was placed on the door of the body which the body struck was shattered to bits a few inches in diameter. In spite of the fact that it was an inch square, Physiologists stated that practically every bone in the woman's body was broken. It was with some difficulty that the body was identified by the police. The young woman carried absolutely nothing to indicate her name or address. However, on a card issued by an employment bureau was found a single telephone number, and it was by this means that persons in her boarding-house were not notified of her death. The number was that of the telephone P. D. Hager, 15 South Fifth Street. He was given a description of the clothing worn by the girl, and at once came to the Mutual Building. He identified the body as that of Miss Smith. Leesburg (Va.) Notes.

Collier & Son This remarkable story was Doyle last May just before he as a last anxious warning to upon another war. And they had feared. This remarkable story was finished by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle last May just before his visit to America. He wrote it as a last anxious warning to England before she embarked upon another war. And the war came sooner than even he had feared. "A grateful king will know how to reward you." It is an amazing thing that the English, who have the reputation of being a practical nation, never saw the danger to which they were exposed. For many years they had been spending nearly in hundred millions a year upon their army and their fleet. Squadrons of Dreadnoughts costing two millions each had been launched. They had spent enormous sums upon cruisers, and both their torpedo and their submarine squadrons were exceptionally strong. They were also by no means weak in their aerial power, especially in the matter of hydroplanes. Besides all this, their army was very efficient in spite of its limited numbers, and it was the most expensive in Europe. Yet when the day of trial came all this impassing force was of no use. Verb might as well have not Their rain could not have are complete or more rapid if not possessed an frontend or I. And all this was as com- mute, Captain John Sirius, be- to the navy of one of the best powers in Europe and having under my command a fortitude of eight vessels, the collective cost of which was £1,000,000. No one has a better right to tell the story than I I will not trouble you about the dispute concerning the colonial frontier embittered, as it was, by the subsequent death of the two missionaries. A naval officer has nothing to do with politics. I came upon the same only after the alienation had been initially received. Named Mary, I was summoned to the presides, and be asked that I should be allowed to accompany him, because he happened to know that I had some clear ideas to the weak points of England and also some schemes as to how to take advantage of them. There were only four of us present at this meeting, the king, the foreign secretary, Admiral V THE MEMBERSHIP The King Never Took His Eyes From My Face. ral Hortkirk myself. The time allowed by the ultimatum expired in forty-eight hours. I am not breaking, any confidence when I say that both the king and the minister were in favor of a surrender. They saw no possibility of standing up against the colossal power of Great Britain. The minister had drawn up an acceptance of the British terms and the king sat with it before him on the table. I saw the tears of anger and humiliation run down his cheeks as he looked at it. "I fear that there is no possible alter-native, sire," said the minister, "especially since the rush act of Malcolm in desecrating the flag. We must give way." The king looked sadly at Admiral Hortl. "What is your effective first, admirable?" be asked. through the world to that people have begun there was something form and capabilities.

Their bred and their breed two They had a radius of miles and a submerged time hours. These were "Two battalions, four cruisers, twenty torpedo boats and eight submarines," said the admiral. "It would be madness to resist," said the king. "And yet, sir," said the admiral, "before you come to a decision I wish you to hear Captain Sirius, who has a very definite plan of campaign against the English." "Absurd!" said the king impatiently. "What is the use? Do you imagine that you could defeat their vast armada?" "Bare," I answered. "I will take mine if you will follow adobe." CHAPTER I. You who, within a month or six weeks of the utmost, being proud England to her knees. There was an assurance in my vote which arrested the attention of the king. "I would advise, sure, that the whole fleet he gathered under the forts of Blankenberg and be protected from attack by boats and pilots. There they can stay till the war is over. The eight submarines, however, you will leave in my charge to use as I think it." "At" You would attack the English battleship with submarines? "Size, I would never go near an English battleship." "And why not: "My life belongs to the country, since It is nothing. But these eight ships everything depends upon them. I could not task them. Nothing would induce me to fight." "What will you do?" "I will tell you else." And I did so. For half an hour I spoke. I was clear and strong and definite, for many on hour on a lonely watch. I had spent in thinking out every detail. I loved them enthused. The king to terror his eyes from my face. They in fact was if turned to stone. The king came from the palace. Needless to mention the filmmaking, and so. A couple of both houses that we found in the face of menace. Almost both you will in all respects carry out that which Captain Stras may demand in furtherance of his plan. Captain Stras, the field he chose, the fortress and the city you have said. A great king will know how to reward you. Through the world to such an extent that people have begun to think that there was something peculiar in their form and capabilities. This is not so Four of them, the Delta, Epsilon, Iota and Kappa, were. It is true, of the very latest model, but had their equals (though not their superiors in the navies of all the great powers. As to Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Theta, they were by no means modern vessels and found their prototypes in the old F class of titanic boats, having a submerged displacement of 100 tons, with heavy oil engines of 1,020 horsepower, giving them a speed of eighteen knots on the surface and of twelve knots submerged. Their length was 160 feet and their breadth twenty four feet. They had a radius of action of 4,000 miles and a submerged endurance of nine hours. These were considered the latest word in 1915, but the four new boats excused them in all respects. Without troubling you with precise figures I may say that they represented roughly a 25 per cent advance upon the older boats and were fitted with several auxiliary engines which were wanting in the others. At my suggestion, instead of carrying eight of the very large Haldorkort torpedoes, which are nineteen feet long, weigh half a ton and are charged with 200 pounds of wet gunpowder, we had tubes designed for eighteen of less than half the size. It was my design to make myself independent of my base. And yet it was clear that I need a base, so I made arrangements with that object. Blankenship was the last place I would have chosen. Why should I have a port of any kind? Ports would be watched or occupied. Any place would do for me. I finally chose a small villa standing more than five miles from any village and thirty miles from any port. To this I ordered them to convey secretly by night oil, spare parts, extra torpedoes, storage batteries, reserve periscopes and everything that I could need for resitting. The little whitewashed villa of a retired confectioner—that was the base from which I operated against England. The boats lay at Blankenberg, and thither I went. They were working frantically at the defenses, and they had only to look seaward to be spurred to fresh exertions. The British fleet was assembling. The ultimatum had not yet expired, but it was evident that a blow would be struck the instant that it did. Four of their aircrafts, circling at an immense height, were surveying our defenses. From the top of the lighthouse I counted thirty battleships and cruisers in the oaring, with a number of the trawlers with which in the British service they break through the mine fields. The approaches were actually sown with 200 mines, half contact and half observation, but the result showed that they were insufficient to hold off the enemy, since three days later both town and fleet were specially destroyed. However, I am not here to tell you the incidents of the war, but to explain my own part in it, which had such a decisive effect upon the result. My first action was to send my four second class boats away instantly to the point which I had chosen for my base. There they were to wait, submerged, lying with negative buoyancy upon the sand in twenty feet of winter and rising only at night. My first orders were that they were to attempt nothing upon the enemy, how ever tempting the opportunity. All they had to do was to remain intact and unseen until they received further orders. Having made this clear to Commander Fanza, who had charge of this reserve patrol, I shook him by the hand and both him farewell. My whole attention was now given to my own fidelity, which I divided into two divisions, keeping Jota and Kapru under my own command, while Japatita Martian had Delta and Epionon. He was to operate separately in the British channel while my station was the strain of Dover. I grade the whole plot of campaign ahead to him. Then I saw that each ship was provided with all it could carry. Each had for two tons of heavy oil for surface preparation and charging the dynamic which supplied the electric engines in the water. Each had also eight torpedoes, six execlins, and 200 rounders for the complete quick fire twelve pumper which we carried on deck and which of course disappeared into a water tight lock when we were submerged. We armed spore peresopes and a wire rope which could be attached above the司令 tower when intercepted, which were provisions for stationary men who manned each. Such was the equipment of the司令船, which were destined to bring to touch all the naval and military of Britain. At sunrise that day it was April 10 we left with both boats having voyage. Mikhail had got away in the afternoon because he could be much farther to go to the beach than Stephen of the kapitain was with me. But of course we respected that we must work independently and that from that moment when we shut the hiding hatches of our container towers on the still water of Bismarck harbour it was unlikely that we would ever see each other other despite its conceals in the same waters. I awed to Stephen from the side of my coming tower and he to me. Then I looked through the tube to my engineer four water tanks were at ready filled and all kiln-stones and vents closed to put her full steel ahead. Just as we came abreast of the end of the pier and saw the white-wrapped waves rolling in upon us I put the horizontal rubber hard down, and she old under water. Through my glass portholes I saw its light green change to a dark blue while the manometer in front of me indented twenty feet. I bet her go to forty because I should then be mute the warriors of the English, though I took the chance of founting the mappings of our own floating contact mines. Then I brought her on an even keel and it was music to my ear to hear the gentle, even liking of my electric engines and to know that I was speeding at twelve miles an hour on my great task. At that moment, as I stood controlling my levers in my lower, I could have seen had my cupola of been of glass the vast shadow of the British blockers hotting above me. I held my course due westward for ninety minutes, and then by shuttling off the electric engine without blowing out the water tanks I brought her to the surface. There was a rolling sun, and the wind was freshening. So I did not think it safe to keep my hatch open, for so small is the margin of buoyancy that one must run no rucks. But from the crests of the rollers I had a look backward at Blankenberg and saw the black funnels and upper works of the enemy's fleet with the lighthorse and the castle behind them, all flushed with the pink glow of the setting sun. Even as I looked there was the beam of a great gun and then another I glanced at my watch. It was 6 o'clock. The time of the ultimatum had expired. We were at war. There was no craft near us, and our surface speed is nearly twice that of our submarine, so I blew out the tanks and our whirlback came over the surface. All night we were steering southwest, making an average of eighteen knots. At about 5 in the morning, as I stood alone upon my tiny bridge, I saw low down in the west the scattered lights of the Norfolk coast. "Ah, Johnny, Johnny Bull," I said as I looked at them, "you are going to have your lesson, and I am to be your master. It is I who have been chosen to teach you that one cannot live under artificial conditions and yet act as if they were natural ones. More forewalt, Johnny and less party politeness—that is my leg." THE SHIP IN THE STORM son to you." And then I had a wave of pity, too, when I thought of those vast drove of helpless people. Yorkshire miners, Lancashire splinners, Birmingham metal workers, the dockers and workers of London, over whose little homes I would bring the shadow of starvation. I seemed to see all those wasted, eager hands held out for food and I, John Slims, dishing it aside. Ah, well, war is war, and if one is foolish one must pay the price. Just before daybreak I saw the lights of a condo. A person said to us the other day: "I don't use the classified ads. because they're so small nobody enable town, which must have been Yarmouth, bearing about ten miles west southwest on our boardwalk how I took her further out, for it is a sandy dangerous coast, with many shoals. M 5.50 we were at the Lowes rooftight ship. A coast guard was sending up flash signals which faded into a pole twinkle as the white dawn crept over the water. There was a good deal of shipping about, mostly fishing boats and small coasting craft, with one large steamer built down to the west and a torpedo destroyer between us and the land. It could not harm us, and yet I thought it as well that there should be no word of our presence, so I filled in tanks again and went down ten feet. I was pleased to find that we got under in 150 seconds. The life of a boat may be depended upon this when a swift craft comes suddenly over you. We were now given a few hours of our embarking ground so I determined to stash a rest, leaveth it stored in charge. When he awoke me at 10 o'clock we were running for the surface and had reached the knees coast off the Maple sand. With that storming tranquility which is one of the great perversions our friendship of England had informed us by their pride that they had put a condition of topsoil beds at sea, the strait of Power to prevent the passage of submarines, which is as important as to save a wood in plank across a stream to keep the oils from passing. I knew that Stephen, whose station lay at the eastern end of the Scientif would have no difficulty in reaching it. My own training ground was to be the sea of the Themes, and here I wait at the Very spot with my tiny toy eight-inch camera, my quick-firing gun and those all a bit that knew what should be done and how to do it. When I assumed my place in the coming tower I saw on the periphery we had dwell, that a lightship was written, a few trimmed yards of upon the port low. Two men were sitting on her deckwarks, but neither of them cast an eye upon the little roof that dwells the water close to them. It was an ideal day for submarine action, with enough ripple upon the surface to make us difficult to detect and just smooth enough to give me a clear clew. Each of my three periscope had an angle of 90 degrees, so that between them I commanded a complete semicircle of the horizon. Two British cruisers were steaming north from the Thames within half a mile of me. I could easily have cut them off and attacked them had I allowed my self to be diverted from my great plan. Farther south a destroyer was passing westward to Shoormouth. A dozen small steamers were moving about. None of these was worthy of my notice. Great countries are not proliblosed by small steamers. They tell a story of a man in a great city who forgot his own name. He put an ad in the paper. Within a few hours he was quizzed by so many curious people that he put an ad. in a later edition stating that he wanted to stay lost. A person said to us the other day: "I don't use the classified ads. because they're so small nobody would see my ad." Big city dailies print several pages of want ads. The people read them. Then how much better the people of our town read the ads. in this paper, where they are not confused by a mass of type. PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. Systematic Exercise I live in who does her own homestead, and that is the fortnight of the time the city is normally worn out the second of the day, since it is in lessees. She is not to include the note that every woman would not intended for her. She can that make a greater advantage. A woman needs a hour's rest near the mother of the day, it is true, but the good advice is systematic and efficient exercise. The rest who work in her Catgirl at the end of the day is that they do not have time. Half an hour of this exercise is suited to the positive needs of each india. Volume taken regularly, followed by a cold dish of water, will serve to keep the whole nutrition and nutrients system in tone and work, wonders in keeping the every bright and the color good, something that all women desire. The housewife who takes both a brief rest and systematic exercise daily will not find herself so much a prey to that tired out feeling at the day's end and will be able to do all of her work the better. Too Reminiscent. "Miss Jennie did not seem to like my song at all." "No wonder, when she has a telephone fob." "Very much when you selected 'I Hear You Calling Me.'-Baltimore America." The Message of the Bells The Christmas bells are ringing. In every nealing note they say to the poor: "Jeans was one with you. He chose to share your lot because it was that of the majority. In all that you have to bear you are a brother to Jesus Christ." Christ never took on his blessed lips the philosopher's cent. He never said that misery, poverty, disease and death were natural results of a divine law. That were adorned natural as painful, but for them all he became a counsel.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1914 NO ROPE ON BOWSER He Just Buns Loose For Whole Week. "Well, has anything happened?" asked Mr. Bowser as he came home and saw by Mrs. Bowser's eyes that she had been weeping. "A letter from mother," was the reply. "Is she coming here?" "She is very poorly and wants me to come there and stay a week." "Is that all?" "But how can I get away for a week?" "Why, take the train." "But you can't go too." "No." "Cook offers to stay and keep house for you." "That is kind of her." "But you'll be lonely." "Get out!" It was talked over and settled that Mrs. Bowser could go, and she departed next morning. What happened during the week is told in a diary kept by Mr. Bowser: "Tuesday—Mrs. Bowser left this morning for Blanktown to see her mother. It will be a change from the dreary monotony. If I want to go to the club or a poker party I shall have no one to look at me accordingly. I may go to the theater. I may stay out rather late o' nights in the interest of CARRY the next presidential election. I feel a strange elation. If Mrs. Bowser stays a month I shan't kick. "Wednesday.—Was out late last night to the Rabbit club. When it came I o'clock I did not have to grab for my hat and overcoat and rush for home and wonder what Mrs. Bowser was going to say. "At midnight, several members expressed surprise that I had not departed. I gave them to understand that no wife could run me. "At I o'clock other fellows came around and said they hoped my staying wouldn't lead to a divorce. I told 'em I didn't care how durned quick Mrs. Bowser applied for one. "Home at 2 in the morning. No one leaning over the banister as I opened the front door. No one to remark the hour and say that such carryings on at my age were shameful. Didn't have to creep upatains like a thief. Didn't have to take anything off but my coat to get into bed. "Thursday. - No sarcastic looks or words at the breakfast table this morning over my being out late last night, and I never enjoyed a breakfast better. No one to ask me for money. No one to caution me not to buy a balloon or a diamond mine during the day. Took in vaudeville show. Never knew before that there was so much fun in them. Roars of laughter from start to finish. Sauntered around the town by moonlight after the performance. Met a cop that I knew, and he chuckled and poked me in the ribs and said I was a gay old boy. Home some time in the morning. Didn't even have to take my contort to go to bed. It makes me mad to think of the years I have wanted in unfreezing. "Cook said she was awake at 4 o'clock in the morning and heard some coming upatrain. I easily convinced her that she was mistaken. This is life. This is. By thunder, why does any man ever marry?" "Friday - Out again last night. I cannot tell the order what a relief it is for me to par on my hat and coat after dinner and walk out without being questioned and cautioned to hurry right back. "Want to a bowling alley. Want to a club. Dropped in to see the movies picture. Didn't one shake the cushion of the home. No child was creeping up my back as I thought of Mrs. Rowe smoothed me in the half and saying that she who glad we had no way to follow DANGER HIS prophetic story was finished by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle last May just before his visit to America. He wrote it as a last anxious warning to England before she embarked upon another war. And the war came sooner than even he had feared. The story tells how a European power by a very simple plan brought England face to face with starvation. What was this plan? in his father's footsteps. Through the night might have some remembrance to make at breakfast, but on the contrary she pave me an encouraging smile. When I woke up I found, that I was fully dreamed, even to my shoes, but I never sleep better in my life. America is noted for rapid transit, and yet millions and millions of people will spend an hour out of twenty-four dressing and undressing. "Wasn't cautioned when I left the house not to invest in chickens, pigs, cows, autos or winter tonics. Went right out with my bead up and able to look the world in the face. How I have stood Mrs. Bower's sarcasm as long as I have is a mystery to me. "Saturday—Changed my clothes after I got home and had dinner and went to a poker party. It is what is called a 'ting' party—that is, you drink as many highballs and gin bites as seem proper and lose all the money you want to. "Very pleasant lot of fellows and all surprised to see me. Heard some of them hinting that Mrs. Bower must be dead. "Talked politics and played poker. "Talked war and played more poker. "Talked Punjama capital and had a flush. "Held threes and stunts and big pairs and never once thought of Mrs. Bower. Free as air and feeling like a four-year-old. "What asks men make of themselves they marry! Just let me. Bow ser give me one easy word when she gets back, and— "I have an indistinct recollection of dropping something at poker, but whether it was a cent or $10 I shall never know—in fact, I don't care. When I set out to have a good time there's nothing stingy about me. "I remember speaking about going home at 2 o'clock in the morning, but some one asked what's the use, and I said no more. Don't remember getting home. Don't remember a policeman kindly unlocking the front door for me and calling me a regular Jim Dandy. Can't remember the cook finding me sitting in the front hall when she came down. The first I knew I was up and dressed and plying the man who then himself to a wife. "Politeman met me at the gate as I started for the office and wanted to know if I was going to pay for that window. I didn't even ask him what window he meant, but when he said the damage was $4 I pulled out the money and paid it like a man. Cook brushed feathers off my clothes and picked straw out of my hair before I sat down to breakfast, but she was dissected—very discreet. She said she used to pick feathers and straws when she went to conerts. "Sunday—Woke up with a recollection—several recollections; also a more throat and a headache. Breakfast in bed. More recollections and a head ache than breakfast. "Cook very kind and thoughtful. Covered that I had lost my watch and sympathized with me. "Discovered that I had lost my wallet and said it didn't matter as long as I had had a good time." "I don't think I came home in an ambulance. Neither of my legs is broken, and why should I have done so? I don't think I slept on the front steps. When a man has a house he sleeps inside instead of outside of it. I sort of wish Mrs. Bowyer was home Cook says I have quite a fever. She attributes it to political excitement. Mrs. Bowyer is one of the best hands in case of fever I ever heard of. FLAN.

Says there no particular harm in moving pictures, vaudeville shows, music concerts, poker games and sleeping in the front hall it taken in moderate doses, but that I seem to have gone and overdone the thing. "Cook is kindness itself, but she isn't Mrs. Bowser. "I now begin to understand why men marry and why a man is an angel who doesn't. These is something sacred about home. "Cook continues her kindness. She has just hinted that she has nothing to tell Mrs. Bowser, who will arrive early tomorrow morning. I am counting the hours. I shall explain to her that it is a hard cold, but she will suspect the truth and forgive me. "Dear Mrs. Rowser! Durn shows Durn freedom!"

I remember the winter of eighteen hundred and so forth when it was so cold that if you flung a can of billin' water out of doors it cracked like a gun. Yes, sir, and a live coal would freeze cold in five minutes. Worse than that, your conversation actually froze before it could be heard. I knew a stuttering man who talked chopped ice, and a feller who drewled so that his remarks froze in his throat and had to be extracted with a cork screw. You had to heat your watch every now and then or it would tick itself full of particles of ice and stop runnin'. Us boys used to have a great joke. When visitors came we would slip up and put a lot of frozen shrieks and bowls in the fireplace, and when they thawed out they'd yell like demons and we'd have a good laugh at the visitors' surprise. Aw, yes, it was sorter cold that winter." - Exchange. One Was Enough. The British academy once had printed a few copies of an important work for presentation to some foreigners who, from their prominence in the scientific world, were best entitled to be honored with the gift. Professor Alry, the astronomer royal, was requested to make a selection of the names. A few days after he had sent in his list he was informed by the secretary of the admiralty that "my lords" were struck by the number of unknown names included and that they wished to make an inquiry on the subject Alry asked the secretary for some specifications as to the names referred to. "Well, as an example," said the secretary, "there is the name of Professor C. F. Gauss of Gottingen. Who is he?" "Gauss is one of the greatest mathematics of the age and stands among the two or three most eminent masters in physical astronomy now living. Who else do you wish to know about?" "No one else. That will do," replied the secretary. A young genius named McCarthy went to Commodore Vanderbilt and gave him a suggestion which led the Saturday, March 11th, 1991. New York and Chicago intersect between New York and Chicago into one. Before Mr. Carlyle want to Vanderbilt he went to a friend, for advice. Here is what his friend told him about the commodore: "Don't let him scare ya. He's as full of power as a turbine. Has a good deal o'焊 in him. Like resistance; so does every great force. He's fought a thousand difficulties. He'll take you for another an 'pitch into ye, like as not. Don't let him scare ye. If he jumps on ye, jump on him. He'll enjoy it an 'begin to respect ye. It' like puttin' a bolt on the turbine. You'll take off a bit of his power and case him down." THE NEW YEAR'S HOSTESS. Simple Refreshments Are Suitable For Afternoon at Hems-Russian Tea. On New Year's day, when all the world keeps open house, the hostess especially delights in unique decorations, original entertainment and novel menus for the declaration of her guests. Simple refreshments for the "at home" consist of hot tea, coffee or chocolate, with sweet or salted wafers; fruit punch, with sweet wafers, or boulbon in cups, with salted wafers. Two or three of these beverages, with assorted wafers, may be served from the dining room table, giving an opportunity to cater to the individual taste of one's guests. Peach conserves spread on unsweetened wafer crackers is a delicious dality. Jam jumbles, graham bread, thinly sliced and spread with butter and orange marinade; nut bread, cut thinly and spread with creamed butter—all of these are most savory for sandwich combinations. For pastry sweets walnut meringue squares, varieties of sweet crackers, macarons and marigrettes are all delicious. Salted almonds; dates stuffed with chopped nuts or peanut butter, hickory nutgast and Turkish delight are favorite confections for the afternoon tea. Russian tea is a change from the plain "5 declock." It is made the same, allowing three teaspoonfuls of tea to two teaspoonfuls of boiling water. Let stand a few minutes and strain into the cups, allowing one-half tea spoonful of lemon juice and a thin slice of lemon, from which the seeds have been removed, to each cup, or some prefer the addition of three whole cloves or a cried cherry to vary the convivial cup. "Watch Night." Watching the old year die and the new year come in to take its place is an old and worldwide custom. In pagan lands there used to be solemn fasts and anguers of blood, by which they sought to read the future. The Catholic church holds high mass just at the hour of midnight, and the Greek church has similar observances. In pioneer days, when our own country was young at heart and full of faith, there was the sacred and never to be forgotten watch night, the last night of the old year. Then it was that the people met for prayer and praise, and at the solemn hour of midnight, just when the old year vanished and the New Year came before them, then did they shake hands in loving friendship beg forgiveness for unkind feelings or deaths of the past and promise amends for the future, consecrating all by mutual resolutions, by good thoughts and hope and faith. This old time watch festival was most solemn, beautiful and impressive and is still observed in many places. The Eternal Years Truth crushed to earth shall rise again. The eternal years of God are born. -William Culton Bryan. [Copyright, 1814, by American Press Association.] THE years are building blocks for Time. The architect, who round by round Makes Truth's most ancient temple climb Toward heaven from the lowlier ground. Men prate and preach of evil days; The world is mad with money lust; The cities walk in sinful ways. And Truth is trampled to the dust. But he who sees the seasons sweep, He knows the littleness of lies. He hears the deep respond to deep And knows that Truth shall always rise. For lust and sophistry and cant Are but the larvae of a day Their span is brief; their space is scant. The years shall sweep them all away Eternal years of God! To Truth, Who ages not nor yields to fate, But holds her fresh immortal youth. We know the years are consecrate. We know that God's eternal years Are Truth's, and round by round they rise As Time, the architect, uprears The temple always toward the skies HISTORIC NEW YEAR BELL Announcer of American Independence Used to Hail Coming of Day. Every New Year's one citizen of Philadelphia gather round the statue of Liberty, Independence hall, to hear the New Year ring in. Formerly this solemn was performed by the bell now known as the Liberty bell. Before that memorable day in 1776 when the nation's fathers gave forth to the world their Declaration of Independence, whose signing was healed by the ringing of the bell, New Year's rejoicing was started by the first peak of what is known as the Liberty bell. After the events of July 4, 1776 made the bell one of the most prized relics of the nation custodians of Independence hall restricted its use fearing some mishap, and after 1850 the bell was no longer used for the New Year's salute. In 1822 on the celebration of George Washington's birthday it was rung and not again for three years when on July 8, 1853, while the funeral procession of Chief Justice Marshall was passing, the bell was toiled. Suddenly the notes grew discordant. An investigation was made. It was found that a crack had been started. The bell had completed its task. No more would it greet the New Year or pay tribute to the nation's great. But from the tower of Liberty's cradle another bell always welcomes the coming of a New Year. With New Year's day of 1910 Chile adopted a system of eastern standard time. Under the new reckoning the time in Chile corresponds with that of the eastern time division of the United States. --- Various New Year Customs Everywhere and in all ages we find the custom of visiting on New Year's day, and the student of folklore sees in this a beautiful meaning. For, as the coming year knocks at our doors, laden with gifts, so we should visit each other and exchange kind words and wishes. In Scotland this is called "first footing," and there is a fancy that good or evil comes into the house with the "first footer." In many parts of the world the first day of January is a favorite one for weddings, and many are celebrated then, but in Slain and other Asiatic countries it is the day of funerals. Those who die in the course of the previous year are, of course, buried in due season, but the funeral pump is postponed for New Year's day and then celebrated with proper emphasis.

WEBSTER REVOLT AGAINST THE TARIFF Underwood Hill Repudiated Wherever He Influence Is Felt. (By Charles D. Hilles.) Chairman Republican National Committee. New York, Dec. 19.—An analysis of the results of the last election shows conclusively that the Republican party will return to power in 1916. Not only will a Republican President be elected, unless there is a revolution of feeling in the meantime, but the party will gain control of both Senate and House. It requires no gift of prophecy to assert this, it is a logical deduction from the recent election. REACTION AGAINST DEMOCRACY The Issue In 1914 was the tariff and every State where the effect of the Underwood bill had time to be felt went Republican. Every great manufacturer State and every great labor center regulated the Democratic party and voiced condemnation of its record since it came into full control of the government. The disastrus effects of the new tariff had not been fully felt in the great agricultural States of the West, but even there the reaction against Democrats was unmistakable. TARIFE ISSUE IN 1916 The issue in 1918 will be opened on the tariff and on the legislation of the Democratic party. During the next two years the country will have a greater opportunity to study the effect of the present tariff to note results on to compare them with the Republican policy of protection of American industries and American labor. The revolt against Democracy is not confined to business men. Labor indicated very clearly in the last election that it understood that own prosperity is inextricably wound up with the prosperity of business and that unemployment and reduced wages inevitably follow Democrat tariff tickering. It was James G. Blaine who said "The tariff question is essentially one of wages." The truth of this statement has been demonstrated clearly many times and labor realizes that the question of protection to American industry, for which the Republican party stands, is essentially one of high wages. ANTIBUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Both labor and business will until in a common cause in 1916, the protection of their own interests, and will join hands in returning the Republican party to power. The Wilson administration has been essentially an antibusiness administration, modifying its policy only where legislation might include the South in its adverse influence. Its attitude has not been merely one of distrust of business, but of active hostility and antagonism. An effort was made to modify labor by granting so-called concessions, which were not worth the paper they were written on, and which did not restore to labor any part of the wages lost by the depression in business forced by Democratic measures. There is no doubt of the election of a Republican President and Republican House in 1916. Nor is there any doubt in my mind that we shall elect a Republican Senate. Because the Democrat increased their majority in the Senate in the last election they are inclined to believe that they can save the upper house in 1916 from the wreck which they foresee. Their belief is founded on hope, and not on fact. ANALYSIS OF CONGRESS The Senate elected in 1914 will consist of 55 Democrats, 40 Republicans, and 1 Progressive. A gain of nine seats in the Senate and a Vice President in 1916 will give the Republican party a working majority. Is it possible to secure these seats? It is not only possible, but practically certain. Let us see. Is there any doubt that New York will send a Republican to succeed Mr. O'Groman? The result of the last election shows clearly that a Republican senator will succeed the present representative of the Empire State in the upper house. Maine is backed in the Republican column and a Republican senator is sure to succeed Johnson. Johnson voted for free trade provisions of the Underwood tariff bill and he will be held accountable by his State for the mischief it has made. POMERENE TO BE RETIRED New Jorsey returned to the Republican column in emphatic fashion in November and no one will seriously contend, that Mr. Martine will succeed himself or be supervised by a Democrat. The election of Mr. Harding in Ohio this year by over 50,000 is a clear sign that Senator Pomerene will be retired two years hence and his place be taken by a Republican. There will be then no-Progressive vote to complicate the situation and a Republican victory will be easy. did not admit of Montana voted to place wool on the hose, despite vigorous protest from every quarter of his State. Is there any possible chance that he will be re-elected after two years more of free wool? Sonetor Pittman of Nevada will be succeeded by a Republican. Pittman has not the prestige nor the money nor the long service of Senator Newlands, and yet Newlands was returned to the Senate this year, after the hardest campaign he has ever made, by only 38 votes. The Congressman-at-large the governor, and every State officer elected this year are Republicans. Nevada already felt the effect of a Democratic administration and Pittman's election in the first instance was an accident. WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN West Virginia is sure to go Republican in 1916. Senator Polindexter of Washington is the only Progressive in the Senate, and he is sure to be succeeded by a Republican. Washington in 1914 elected a Republican senator and Republicans from every congressional district. Thus far we can see a certain gain of eight seats, which, with a Republican Vice President, would give control of the Senate. But in Maryland and Nebraska, where there are Democratic factional fights, the Republican chances are excellent. There is good fighting ground in Arizona, Missouri, and Tennessee, and it is a modest claim to say that one Republican will be elected from these five States. That would make a gain of nine seats for the Republican party, giving not only control, but a working majority in the Senate. Furthermore it is pertinent to ask, In the event of tariff revision, where will the Louisiana Senators stand? Their greatest industry has been practically destroyed by a Democratic tariff which they resisted, valiantly. Will they not support a Republican tariff bill, that will restore the duty to sugar? PUBLIC SICK OF NOSTRUMS The Republican party has only to be safe and same in the next two years to insure a sweeping victory in 1916. It need only demonstrate its purpose to restore the business of the country to a healthy condition and emphasize the fact that it will try at all hazards to preserve the forms of representative government. The public has staked the post-trums and panacons exploited in the last few years and want sanity, honesty, and efficiency in public office. These the Republican party can supply and that party only. The fundamental factors in the sit- tation make certain a Republican victory in 1916. It was only a short time before election that the great reapprehension between President Wilson and Col George Harvey occurred, and it was heartfelt broadcast. Col Harvey has been severe in his criticism of the Wilson admin-istration heptofore, but the happy reunion might be assumed to have softened his attitude. COL. HARVEY'S VIEWS Apparently, however, the colonel is not disposed to dilute facts with friendship, and in a recent issue of the North American Review, of which he is editor, he assigned the following causes for the Democratic defeat last November. "Hundreds of thousands of workmen are out of employment and have been for months, manufacturing is curtailed by lack of demand for products; business is worse than dull real estate is a drug; enterprise is stopped completely by the closing of the exchanges; reductions in dividends that have not yet been made are anticipated; incomes are shrinking; hateful economies are being enforced in shop, store, and household; nobody perceives a prospect of opportunity to make money; everybody feels poor and nearly everybody is." What a picture is here presented of the results of two years of Democratic rule. In these words a reconstructed Wilson Democrat adamantly sums up the reasons for Democratic defeat in 1916. --- Farmville. (Va.) Notes. Farmville Va. Dec. 21st 1914 Mr. Editor. I see in your last week's issue Grand Master Rosa returned and was on hand to be tried; and the case was deferred until Jan. 21st. 1915. We are not going to express our opinion just now, relative to this particular case; because we are ignorant of the whole affair, therefore, unworthy to set in judgment on the case. We are willing as said last week, to wait the finding of the Court. We learn that Grand Master Ross is the man elected by the people but in hopelessly sick, charged with taking an over dose of embezzlement therefore, unable, to serve Rev. S. S. Morris has been installed by the Board, of course without salary. This of itself is saying his hands are full and he has not the time to devote to the building of the institution; but out of the fullness of his generosity, interest in his people, and love for the institution with which he has been connected so long he simply allows his name to be used as Grand Master, without salary, to help them in this struggle until the members can meet and say who shall be Grand Master. This, of course, fore-shadow the terminus of, the administration of Grand Master Ross, regardless of the findings of the Court. Should Mr. Ross be found not guilty, I don't think he would want to place himself in such a Critical position to be guarded with an eye of suspicion by those of his accusers. The eyes of all the people most especially those who are connected with the various organizations of both races are looking to see what kind of a man will be next placed at the head of this great institution. There are thousands who are connected with these institutions getting tired of patting up ugly heads, and on account of their inability and greed, have come to as failures one after another and brought shame and O Funeral Director and Embalmer. For First Class Service that Cost you Leis. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Office and Parlor, 905 N. 2nd St., Phone Ran, 1158. disgrace to the detriment of the race. Unless, a speedy change a large number of our institutions will fall and thousands will be driven to the organization and corporations of the other race. The white man is watching with a keen eye every failure of the organizations among us and is trying to build upon the rules thereof. A noted white man of this community when he heard of the failure of the rand Fountain called to see one or two of the leading preachers of this community to organize an institution among our people, the same as the True Reformers and let the white man hold the offices because he said, "Since there are no many failures among us, the colored people were losing confidence in their leaders, but would follow the white man better." What we need, are true and tried leaders. Allow us to quote what was said in your last issue. "The time has come in the history of our people, to be a successful leader in these great organizations, must be a man of integrity acquired ability a large experience in the exhibition of his executive ability: a man who has acquired something for himself and has a standing in the financial world. Our people must learn this fact, that men who have reached the age of thirty-five and forty and have not accumulated and controlled anything for themselves, are not the men to put at the head of this great Institution. Because a man has been on the Ex-Board along time or on the field as deputy and done good work is no proof that he is qualified to lead a great Institution." I mention these things now so that we may look well to the future in selecting leaders to lead the people. Look what kind of men there are at the heads of Insurance companies and organizations among our people in this country who are bringing success, American Beneficial Insurance Company; Richmond Beneficial Insurance Co. Southern Aid Society, and the K. of P. Courts of Calanthe. The officers of those companies are men tried and true. The people have confidence in them. And as for J.hn Mitchell Jr. he has a National reputation as an organizer, financier, and he鼻 to the bone; thus he is styled in Virginia in the fraternal benevolent institutions as the Moses to lead this people to higher places. --- A.
