ah Discovery was made in the office of the Board of Election Commissioners Saturday that State Senator Charles O A. Brunk, who is in Jefferson City representing in the Legislature’ the Thirty-fourth State Senatorial District, had removed to the Thirty-second Dis- trict and lived there since last August. The State constitution, Article 4, sec- tion 13, provides that any senator or representative who removes from the county or district for which he was elected vacates his office. Some inter- preters of the constitution hold thai Brunk by moving out of the Thirty- fourth District had vacated his office as senator and has no right to remain in Jefferson City as the representative oi that district. Brunk gave up his house at 3815 Laba- By Associated Press.

Sunday will be a fine day to go out andt “In qualifying for Senator I can re- tain my residence in the Thirty-fourth District. regardless of the address from which I registered and voted,” said Senator Brunk. ‘‘No one is contesting my seat in the Senate. The Legislature is the sole judge of the qualifications of ite members, and I am sure that no one will take advantage of a technical point and seek to oust me. If such ac- tion was started I feel confident the Senate would sustain me.”’ Has Property in Thirty-Fourth, Brunk is a Republican candidate for Mayor. He said he owned more than $100,000 worth of property in the Thirty- fourth District. His former home on Labadie avenue was sold to a con- tractor, and is now occupied by him. Brunk gave a big house warming in his Longfellow boulevard home last fall, soon after he moved into it. Repub- lican leaders from the city and State were entertained in the new mansion. At that time he first began to nurse: his boom for the Mayoralty nomination. Members of the Board of Election Commissioners say a man’s residence is where he eats and sleeps. Any resi- dent of the Thirty-fourth District might appear before the Senate and charge that Brunk was not its legal repre- sentative. This would bring up the ques- tion of his qualifications. If he should be ousted, a special election would be necessary to fill the vacancy. WOULD COMPEL ROADS TO USE BLOCK SIGNALS Commerce Board Investigators Also Urge Deveivupment of Automatic Train Stop. WASHINGTON, Feb. 8&—Compulsory adoption by all interstate railroads of the block signal] systef is the most im-

signal and train control board made to day in its final report to the Inter- State Commerce Commission. Consist- ing of M. E. Cooley, dean of the en- g:neering department of the Untversity of Michigan, as chairman; Aze' G. Ewald, B. B. Adams and W. P. Bor- land, as secretary, the board was creat- ed by Congress in 1997. Special attention was paid tu de- vices for the automatic stopping of trains. i “The development of the automatic train stop,” says the report, “has pro- Ceeded far enough to warrant the ex- Fectation that by Its use greater eafety Can be “secured in the operation of trains. Railroads should be given tv tderstand that the automatic train stop must be developed by them as rap- idly as possible.” ‘ The board also recommends that rail- road tracks

SCUDDER TAKES COAT He Finds a Misfit at the Plan- ter. Left in Place of is Own. When Rogers V. Scudder, vice-presi- dent of the Wesco Supply Co., 301 South Seventh street, had finished his luncheon at the Planters Hotel, Friday afternoon, he looked in vain for his overcoat, which he had hung on a rack with several oth- ers on entering the dining room. Sup- posing some careless person soon would discover his mistake and return with ike coat, Scudder waited—and waited. One by one the other diners took their overcoats and departed, until finally Only one coat, was left. And it wasn’t

pertant recommendation of the bloc* | Scudder’s. From the Planters Hotel to the Wesco offices is seven blocks. Scud- der therefore found himself in the posi- tion of having to walk the distance with- out an overcoat, telephoning home for a coat and waiting for it to arrive, or borrowing the unclaimed coat. He chose the latter course. The coat, which had been left for his own, wasn’t a very good fit, but Scudder got back to his office in it with comfort and then sent it back to the hotel.

wrote that he would kill himself because he was penniless and because the busi- ness people would not give a bookkeep- er 42 years old a chance to show what he could do. Braun is said to have lost between $7000 and $8000 in a patent medicine ven- ture since coming here from Germany a year ago and to have been disappoint- ed in the expectation of a legacy of $20,- 000. Braun had been living at the home of Dr. C. C. Vanderbeck. When he did not arise at the usual time Saturday morning Mrs. room and found him dead. He had left the note on his table and beside it were two dimes and four pennies, all t! money that he had left. His watch had stopped at 10:30. As it did not ap- pear to have run down it is supposed that Braun stopped it before killing | himself. Several weeks ago Braun told Dr. Van- derbeck that he had been swindled by a man who had induced him to invest in a patent medicine. He also told of expecting a legacy. Last week he re- celyed a letter which distressed him greatly. He told Dr. Vanderbeck that he would not receive the legacy and tore up the letter and several family photographs.

The carpet company alleged that the money was due for furnishings installed by them in Milliken’s coun- try home at Crescent, and in his St. Louis residence at 1150 Belt ave- nue. It stated that the original] bill had been for $19,305.66 and that $5000 on account had been paid. | In his answer Milliken asserts ‘paid the Trorlicht-Duncker company $5000 on July 12, 1910, and that this ,money was paid in full settlement of ithe account he had contracted with the Carpet company. | The answer sets forth a counter claim ,against the plaintiff in two counts. The first is for board and lodging furnished employes of the Trorlicht-Duncker com- pany when they were at work at Cres- cent, Mo., and totals $825. The second is for $150 that Milliken avers he paid lin freight charges on goods sefAt to Crescent, and which he claims Tror- licht-Duncker promised to refund to him. The itemized account for the boarding of the workingmen at Crescent is: Five men for three months, and an electri- Clan for six weeks. Milliken charged the men $0 a month in this bill. At the time the suit was filed against him Milliken, In an interview in the Post-Dispatch, stated that the goods for which the Trorlicht-Duncker company desired to collect had been installed in his homes without his permission or con. sent and he would refuse to pay for them A referee to hear the testimony in the case has been asked by the plain- tiffs.

the fact that they are much nettled by the fun poked at them by the French press. Further dispatches recount many amusing details of the hoax. Prince Joachim, the Kaiser’s eldest son, was out walking when the telegram arrived and had no time for luncheon. The banks experienced small runs, as it was generally believed that the Kaiser's ap- proaching visit was the signal for the approach.of war and the gayety of those anticipating a view of the Kaiser was contrasted with the scenes of sor- row as wives and sisters of soldiers were saying adieu. The history of the author of the hoax, a man named Wolter, is amusing in itself. He is a sub-paymaster recently dismissed as the result of an inquiry by Berlin experts regarding his Sanity. Wolter protested. against this pro- nouncement without avail, and recently said he would prove his Sanity by means of a coup that would astonish the whole world. Wolters’ procedure was of the simplest. He addressed to himself a telegram from Weissenburg, then erased the con- tents and inserted a message purport- ing to come from the Kaiser and pre- rented it in the uniform of a telegraph inessenger at the governor's gate. He afterward changed his attire and went to Poligon to witnéss the complete suc- cess Of his stratagem. He was intensely delighted by the arrival of a Zeppelin airship, which caused the crowd to believe His Majesty was One of the passengers in the aerial vessel. rium iin 37 53333 °

Trust Fund. BOSTON, Feb. 8.—Litigation over the bequest of $2,000,000 made to the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, by Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy has heen ended by her natural heirs joining with the trustees of the church in proposed decrees entered in the several courts involved. Coincident with this action, the Massa- chusetts House conferred with the Sen- ate in an enabling act which permits the mother church to accept and use the money for the advancement of Christian Science, as directed by its founder. Four stipulations compose the decree which were entered simultaneously in the courts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire and the Federal Court for the District of New Hampshire. In these, George Glover of Lead, S. D., and E. J. Foster-Eddy ‘of Waterbury, Vt., son and adopted son of Mrs. Eddy, abandoned their suits for a share in the estate, upon payment of $180,000. of which $5000 is for their interest in copy- rights and $175,000 comes from the trust fund established by Mrs. Eddy in 1909. Mrs. Eddy died Dec. 4, 1910, leaving | $2,500,000, practically all to the mother Bequest Arranged on Basis of

ATTEMPT 10 END LIFE SUCCESSFUL 'Mrs, Ada Longwell Who Said | She Was Separated From Hus- band Dies by Acid. Mrs. Ada Longwell, 22 years old, end- ed her life Friday night by swallowing carbolic acid in her room at 3519 South Grand avenue. It was her second at- tempt to kill herself, the first having been made Oct. 3 in front of Schaper Bros. department store, where she and her husband, Samuel J. Longwell, were employed. She had been boarding four weeks at the home of Mrs. Edward Besmer at the Grand avenue address, where she was known as Ada Sparling. When she drank the contents of a bottle of acid Friday night she went into the kitchen and told Mrs. Besmer what she had lone. She then fell unconscious. Mrs. Besmer called Dr. U. S. Short, but the woman died before he arrived. After her first attempt to end ier life, Mrs. Longwell told physicians at the city hospital that she was despond- ent because she and her husband were separated, and that she did not want to live. Her husband went to the hos- pital to see her, but she refused to speak to him. He, at that time, denied there had been a separation. WOMAN'S SECOND TTHREE COUNCIL MEN

| MORE SMOKE DILL GOES OVER Evers, Mihi ti i, and Randall Op- pose Ordinance for En- forcement Corps. Opposition expressed by members of the City Council to enforcement of the anti-smoke ordinance resulted Friday afternoon in a postponement of action on a bill providing for a corps of city inspectors to carry out the provisions of the ordinance, Councilmen Evers, Rower and Ran- dall spoke in opposition to the bill, which was reported favorably by the Legislation Committee. Chairman Leahy explained that the bill; which had already been passed by the House of Delegates, made no change in the existing anti-smoke ordinance and that it merely provided a corps of nine in- spectors who were clothed with the power of enforcing the law. He said that the enforcement of the provisions of the ordinance was now in the hands of private persons. ; Evers declared that he was not sat- isfled that there was any device which successfully eliminated smoke, while Rower sald that he believed that the more stacks that “belched forth smoke, the better it was for the city.” Randall said he thought there were too many

mere act

restrictions on manufacturers and that he believed that the business interests of the city were being injured by agi- tation of the smoke evil. An attempt by Eivers to have the bill referred back to the committee was de- feated. Councilman Lehmberg, after it appeared that the bill would be tn dan- ger of defeat if put to a vote, offered & motion to delay action one week. This motion was adopted. The smoke ordinance has received the endorsement of nearly all the civic or- ganizations of the city, many of which

have petitioned the Municipal Assembiy to pass it. It provides that the issuance of dente smoke from a stack for more thea six | minutes in any one hour shall be a mis- demeanor and punishable by a fine. Car Surplus Increasing.

“| IGMOROSTOTAL OF TESTIMONY OF WM ROCKEFELLER Most of Reply in Money Trust Inquiry Taken Up With Denial That He Plays Golf.

HIS DOCTOR INTERFERES

Makes Oath T' at Unless Exami- nation Is Ended, Millionaire May Choke to Death.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. +, BRUNSWICK, Ga., Feb. 3.—The long- heralded examination of William Rocke- feller by the Money Trust Committee has been held on Jeky)] Island and it lasted four minutes. Dr. Walter F. Chappelle, who has attended Rockefel- hr, said under oath that a continuation of the examination might result fatally. ._ Rockefeller whispered into a stenog- rapher’s his answers to the ques- tions put him and the stenographer 1ead aloud the words. After ering briefly a few ques- tions, all preliminary, the muscles in Hockefeller’s face began to twitch and to the next question he replied in half a dozen words. He became convulsed and the muscles of his face got beyond control. Examination Soon Ended. Then Dr. Chapelle interposed with the statement that a spasm of the larynx Was coming on. It might choke the aged millionaire, the doctor swore. Rockefeller confirmed the _ statement that it might be ursafe to proceed fur- ther. The examination ended when Rockefeller had spoken 46 words. It was reported today that there was little, if any, improvement in the con- dition of Rockefeller, but that he was not in immediate danger. “Mr. Rockefelle: still feels the strain of yesterday's ordeal,”’ said Dr. Walter Chappelle, his physician. ‘His throat is in a serious condition and he has scarcely been able to speak since the committee’s departure.”’ The last question put to him yester- day was as to his health, but coupled with it an inquiry as to his golf play- ing. The reply constituted Rockefel- ler’s supreme effort of the day. . “I have never played a game of golf in. my life. I try to take open-air exer- cise every day. That is the extent of my amusement—taking outdoor exer- cise,” he said. _ “Do you recall the occasion of the or- ganization of the Amalgamated Copper Co. in 1898?’ Attorney Untermyer asked. “I do,” Rockefeller replied. “Was it in 18987" Untermyer went on. With a great effort Rockefeller re- plied: “J think it was in 1899.’’ He 414 not complete the sentence and his physician interfered. Rockefeller dropped back into his chair with a weak, tired expression as he heard the doctor say that his end might be at hand. He looked piteously from the chairman to the attorney for the verdict. ; Chairman Pujo then required that Dr. Chappelle swear that death might re- sult from a continuation of the exam- ination and had Rockefeller confirm his statement. Committee Leaves Millionaire. Attorney Untermyer pressed Rocke- feller’s hand and then hurried from the room, with members of the commiittee. Mrs. Rockefeller had been in an ad- joining room.

NITROGLYCERIN LATEST | Drops of Explosive Belief, but Dose Must Be Repeated. PARIS, Feb. 8.—Accepting the defini- tion that seasickness is due to a vas- cular vaso-motor spasm and anemia of the nervous system, a Dr. Burwinkel has tried the use of nitroglycerin as a specific against the illness. While at sea recently he administered to a number of people suffering from seasickness a tablespoonful of a. solu- tion composed of 20 drops of nitroglyc- erin in alcoho] and distilled water. The unpleasant symptoms vanished rapraiy and completely. It must be ad- mitted, however, that the beneficial ef- fects @id not last for very long, and it became necessary to take several doses during the day. —

———— “The Balkan War’”’ HE Balkan War is on again, Despite all intervention, And the allied kings and all their men Are full of grim intention. They mean to chase the Moslems ‘out Of Europe altogether, And the Turk has never yet looked out Upon such stormy weather.

The Young Turk clamored for the war, And forced his country in it, But the Old Turk, getting in so far, Is the fellow left to win in. The ammunition was a fake, The army was a rabble, And Lord knows what the Turk will make Of all that sorry babble. He lies behind Tchalja’s guns In grim determination, And the blood of Allah’s children runs In that sore-stricken nation. The Bulgar drops a red-hot shell Upon them every minute, And the Moslem’s present lot is hell, With fire and famine in it. Just what is happening we may Not always know for certain, For the correspondent, sad to say, Is kept behind the curtain. He guesses only at the rear What everyone is doing, And in that disadvantage drear Is furiously stewing. The generals aré all disposed To let the soldiers do it, And all the avenues are closed Through which the world might view it. The roar of guns is dully heard In distance and despondence, And the view is rigorously blurred For all the correspondents. “The Balkan War,” by Philip Gibbs and Bernard Grant. (Small, Maynard &. Co.) MR. GALWORTHY’S PLAY. N John Galworthy’s play, “The | Eldest Son,” he sets forth very clearly the utter rot of upper class conventional English family life. Sir William Cheshire and Lady Che- shire have five children, three daugh- ters and two sons. One daughter is properly married, another properly engaged, a third, Dot, has brains and so has not yet been disposed of. The younger son is the usual sort, good chap, but of no family importance. It is the eldest son, Bill, around whom the action of the play centers He has fallen in love, temporarily, with his mother’s maid, Freda, the daughter of the head keeper. Freda has been in his mother’s service since a little girl. Her environment in a sense, has been the safne as that of his sisters. She is treated much the same as a daughter might be; her health is observed and a tonic pre- scribed quite as if she were a human being. But because of Bill’s rank and “breeding and general worthlessness her worth is not considered. The matter of caste discourages any real lasting love between them. The play opens with a house party of son-in-law, prospective son-in-law and young lady invited for Bill tv marry, as everyone down to the foot- man -knows, but no one appears to be cognizant. They all wander through the play from hall to dining room, music room to billiard room, the men talking horse, the hunt, the breeding of puppies. The women engage tentatively in the rehearsing of ever- lasting private theatricals that are supposed to be a truly refined,- en- grossing occupation for properly brought up English girls. Surrep- titiously they gossip about dancing, the under keeper whom Sir William is going to compel to marry Rose Tay- lor, a village girl, whom he has made a prospective mother. Dot, of the brains, says, “No, unless they still vlove each other—if they don’t, it’s a travesty, a death blow to their self- respect.” The men also discuss the matter among themselves, agreeing that Sir William will never keep a servant who has made a scandal in the village. No one of them questions the wisdom or justice of the shotgun marriage. There is much mumbling; “Dunning ought to be made to play the game; deuced bad form to get into such a scrape and not square the thing by, marrying the girl.” About this time Bill refuses to marry the selected guest or to settle down with any other woman at present. While his father is still choleric over Bill's ob- stinacy it develops that Freda, too, has been in love—but not wisely. Then what a shifting of ideals! All their twaddle of morality as concerned with Dunning and Rose Taylor seems to have been reversed. Bill himself says while in the throes of the terrible situation: “If you think I care two straws about the morality of the thing—it’s simply that I shall feel such a d—d skunk if I leave her in the lurch and everybody knowing.” With this stubborn notion of unwill- ing reparation in his head, Bill fights it out with Sir William, with changed ideals, since the scandal is in his own Bill’s mother, too, puts in her family. “Just Say”

) argument against Bill’s sacrifice of him- “charity marriage.”’ self and his future, as she sees it. “It’s no use being sentimental,” she says, “for people brought up as we are to have different manners is worse than to have different souls.”’ Freda’s father settles the matter by discovering and pointing out to Freda that Bill no longer loves her. With a fine pride that far outclasses that of the noble family, he takes his daughter tenderly away, scorning their The last speech before the final cur- tain is from Dot. Coming in she sees the matter has been disposed of and she asks, fearfully, ‘‘Where’s Freda?’’—then hopefully—“‘has she really had _ the pluck?” The lines of the play are so typically English in brevity of slang that many of the dialogues must fail to get across the footlights to 'the average American audi- ence. (Scribner’s.) é¢ S - by its author, is “an interpre- tation of Christianity in terms of modern life.’’ Its author is Prof. Scott Nearing, Ph. D., of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsyl- vania. He writes with great earnest- ness from the text that “ignorance and graft, twin shadows of degeneracy, stalk through every highway of the land.” Although he uses the metaphors of a lofty and fluent oratorical style, he deals with the worst evils of industrial- ism as matters of fact. He comments on. underfeeding and overwork, child labor, congestion in city slums, city vice, hopeless poverty and in general with the manifestations of what the Galton school of reformers call ‘‘degen- eracy.’’ He dissents wholly, however, from the “eugenists’’ of the Galton- Sage school, who propose to. prevent the birth of children except to selected and standardized parents. He asserts that the children who are born in pov- erty and misery are not born below the standard of humanity and he denies that their parentage unfits them for the right to existence. He asserts their fit- ness to survive and to enjoy ‘life. He attributes existing evils to ‘‘maladjust- ments.’”’ His chapter on ‘“Devouring Widows’ Houses” suggests his expla- nation of all social ‘‘maladjustments’’ as the ‘‘covetousness’’ denounced in the Gospel for making professional phil- anthropy more and more obtrusive while creating increasing misery and profiting by it. As a remedy for this, however, he does not propose personal religion, per- sonal civilization, personal responsibil- ily in refusing to profit by injustice, or any religion or school of politics under which at his own risk each man among supposable millions shall gain the cour- age to stand up in his own place and “make good’’ for his own consciousness of the difference between right and wrong. As far as he makes his “So- cial Religion’”’ intelligible, he seems to appeal for the re-establishment of ‘‘di- vine right’? in lawmaking by the or- ganized or corporate intervention of Christian denominations in politics to secure and enforce through compulsion of enactment his theory of reform as founded on his interpretation of Chris- tianity. Inaugurated under Con- stantine, “divine right’? was a manifest failure in the politics of the world at the time the Constitution of the United States was adopted. It has not since shown itself successful in any part of the world. Denouncing *‘‘phariseeism,”’ which was simply religious control by “SOCIAL RELIGION.” OCIAL RELIGION” as defined “divine right’’ in politics, Prof. Nearing seems to wish to base his whole “social religion” on political control by those who feel entitled to represent the Deity in combining politically to dominate those they fear to stand up against per- sonally. (Macmillan.) “UNTIL THE DAY BREAK.” OME progress is being made to- ward fidelity in fiction, and away from the “happy ending’, which fiction readers have exacted, at what- ever violence to the logic of events, when an author not only makes tragedy acceptable at the story’s end, but leads his readers so inexorably toward a tragic ending that any concession to the demand for a “‘lived-happy-ever- after” finale would almost be resented. W. L. George has done this in the study which he has made, in the form of fic- tion, of the effects, in Europe and America, of re: -essive industrial con- ditions on restless and rebellious spirits that goad them toward anarchy. The characters that he draws are neither lovely nor lovable and make no romantic appeal, which may partly ac- count for the readiness of the reader

of grim and repellant realism to a fit- tingly violent fate. Here they are as the author causes Israel] Kalisch to de- scribe them: ii “There is Schuind, a sot, incapable of an idea, capable only of memorizing a shibboleth; Lietmeritb, a phantom of hatred, no more; Warsch, a bourgeoise who has lost his way because he is poor, a man who will find it again. and there is Ekaterina, a hysterical force of destruction; Lydotchka, an anarchist because Ekaterina is an anarchist; there is Perekop, who dreams aloud, and Jonas, a hermit crab who fears to shed his shell, and Karsavina, a crea- ture whose sensuousiless rejoices in con- test, who wou fight in any cause; and I, a dreamer whom any force may use and then cast away; all of us facets of the anarchist mind.”’ It is Israel Kalisch, derelict Jew, who comes to be the leading spirit of this choice brood of anarchists, who, at first more or less divergent in their views as to the best way of bringing about the social revolution, come at last to agree on direct action. Israel Kalisch was three men in one. “One was an exiled voluptuary who hungered for the fat land of his fa- thers, who blindly held out his hands to their tents of hides, their black-browed women, even to the noisy chaffering of their trading streets; another was a cold and dispassionate philosopher, making notes upon humanity; a third was a fanatic whose heart was burst- ing with pity for suffering humanity, with love in which there was no place for fine clothes, the light of jewels and the love of woman.”’ Karsavina loves him and seeks to woo him from the asceticism which causes him to regard her with a de- tached sexlessness, and tries to draw him away from the bomb-thrower’s su- preme “heroism,” but he _ loves his Cause more than he loves Karsavina and more than he could love any wom- an. Still, at the last,’) Karsavina’s peril stays his hand momentarily, and the bomb that was to destroy an oppressor destroys Israel Kalisch instead, and Karsavina joins in death the man she could not possess in life. It is a story which deals altogether with the smoldering volcanic forces at society’s base and is relieved by scarce- ly a ray of real light, but it is relent- lessly true to the conditions and char- acters which it depicts. (Dodd, Mead & Co.) 7 A SUFFRAGETTE STORY. T would be difficult to conceive of two more antithetic characters for a’ novel than V: Goldie has se- lected for his hero and heroine in telling the rather unusual story of “The De- clension of Henry d’Albae.” He is a highly polished French arstocrat, used to all the luxuries and the effete con- ditions and surroundings of his class. She is a Scotch girl of the middle class who has had to make her way, and fin- ally achieves a small degree of success as a painter of portraits. Widening the natural gulf between them, she is a suf- fragette, the most abhorrent of all crea- tures to a French nobleman. “Yet, through her influence, he is converted to see the uselessness of the life of ease and idleness he leads. His viewpoint of life is-changed completely, to that way of thinking which holds that the only man worth while is he*who makes his own way. He drops all his old friends and associations, and breaks away from his fiancee, a flower of the old aristoc- racy like himself. But the story doesn’t turn out like you would expect after this revolution in his character. In the end, she declines to marry him, though he loves her deeply, and she has great admiration for him because she consid- érs that her ‘“‘reform’’ of him is an achievement that reflects credit upon her. Her reason is what might be exe pected from such a practical suffragette. She is 31 in actual years, and much old- er in the hard experiences of life than he, who is only 25. She knows that dis- illusionment for him is certain with this Gisparity if they are married, and s0 she prefers that they remain as they are, merely friends. (Stokes.) PANCHO McCLISH. EARLY every person who has read N books concerning cowboys and Western horsemen has wondered if the pictures drawn were true to life. The not infrequent conclusion is that they are not. Herbert Coolidge’s story, “Pancho McClish,”’ has an air of being a faithful account of what happened to a group of horse traders as they trav- eled through the Southwest. An old Scotsman was head of the camp and his son gives the name to the book. This boy is a rare student of human nature and in the course of the story he educates the other youth, a lad trained to learn from books. There are many quaint observations in the volume and considerable adventure and some crime, but the strong feature is the naturalness of the conversation, inci- dents and movement under the circum- stances. (McClurg.) A PARTNERSHIP STORY. AKING into consideration that it + starts from an utterly absurd and impossible situation, “The Lapse of Enoch Wentworth,” a new novel by Isabel Gordon Curtis, is a fine and pleas- ing tale. The writer explains that the first chapter was written by her hus- band, who had designed it for a short story. She merely takes the situation as she finds it and tries to work it out. The opening chapter is this: Enoch men, and Andrew Merry, noted come- dian, have played poker in Wentworth’s rooms until dawn and Singleton has walked away with all the money. The other two linger and Wentworth pro- poses they play a single ‘‘show-down” hand, the loser to sign a compact that he will become virtually the other's slave. Merry accepts; the cards are cut and dealt. Wentworth gets an ace, king, ten, seven and four. Merry gets an ace, king, ten, seven and trey, and signs the bond. The great ambition of Wentworth’s life is to write a successful play. Merry falls in love with Wentworth’s sister, truly a fine young woman. Inspired by her, he writes such a play as Wentworth always had dreamed of writing, the principal roles to be cast for himself and Wentworth’s sister. He reads the 1

Wentworth and Singleton, newspaper |: honor to his bond, Wentworth compels Merry to acknowledge Wentworth: as the author. The play is staged and, of course, proves the dramatic sensation of the season. Assuming that any man of Merry’s in- telligence could have such a warped gense of honor as to believe he did right in making and keeping such a dis- honest compact, the author makes much of the complications that inevitably must arise. The moral deterioration of Wentworth himself is done with a master hand. The creation of Dorcas Wentworth, the sister, is perhaps the triumph of the book. It is to be re- gretted that the novel could not have been built upon @ more substantial foun- dation, (Browne.)

A NEW ENGLAND SPINSTER. HERE are mountain winds and Maine island breezes in ‘‘The In- ner Flame,’’ by Clara Louise Burnham, as well as much pleasant reading. Also a major and a minor love story, and an excellent character gketch of a New England spinster who is more admirable than the accepted type. The “‘flame’’ softens a hate which she feels because of the neglect shown to one now dead but whom she loves better than the whole living world. There is music and art in the book, and a stub- tailed black cat. There is also mention of a little book which made life differ- ent for one woman, and through her of those she loved. The heroine of the ma- jor love story smoked cigarettes in the early part of the book, but gives them up before it is two-thirds through. The days on the Maine island are so well described that at their close the reader feels as if she had had a vaca- tion, and spent moonlight nights and sunlit days on “the green spot set in the ocean’s blue.’”’ : The hero is a wonderful combination of clean mindédness, ambition and hon- or. Besides, he’s good looking. And he breaks nobody’s heart. (Houghton Mifflin.)

“WANTED” AND OTHER STORIES. VE thing about James Otis’ boys— O they are perfectly natural. The three stories printed in ‘“‘Wanted’”’ and other stories take three views of lives—the New York newsbéys, village youths and farm lads—and it is puz- ziing to decide after you have read them which is the best. None of these boys does anything that you would not expect any healthy boy to do under similar circumstances and yet the tell- ing of these commonplace affairs made interesting and funny tales. It is only natural that a newsboy, reading that a “pal” is being advertised for by a lawyer, should seek to conceal him and come near depriving him of a fortune. and it is equally reasonable for two vil- lage boys to buy a horse that is offered for sale at $5 and plan to train this decrepit animal for the circus ring. When you have read the book you will be unable to tell whether it is rightfully juvenile or grown-up literature. (Har- pers.) CONFIDENTIAL CHATS, T IS one thing to preach and another | to get the attention of your audi- ences, especially if you expect to reach boys and girls. Any youth from 12 to 20 resents preachment and usually pays no heed to it. Dr. William Lee Howard, in his “Confidential Chats | with Boys” and companion book for girls, seems to have solved the problem; also he appears to have found a means of discussing an intimate topic with both delicacy and plairness. To the girls he talks first of beauty, of a good complexion and perfect health and then he'tells of the care required uuring the ‘teens to insure com- fort in affairs of life afterward. He raises the trend of his talk until it in- cludes a future happy home, happy motherhood and all that a girl should aspire to be. The best feature of his advice is that it sounds so reasonable. Everything he asks the young girl to do is within the reach of all, especially the refusal to swallow patent medicines. As to high school athletics, basket ball, etc., Dr. Howard says don't, or at least walt. When it comes to boys Dr. Howard is on equally sure ground as to gaining his audience. An athletic career fol- lowed by @ successful and profitable } business role is what he holds up as being within the grasp of every lad if he trains properl7. And the training is not hard; instead, the prospect he holds out to the boy should be a delight. There is no foolish talk of diet, nor of self- restraint in a healthy boy’s activities. His cautions are to sleep well and much, to work and play reasonably, but never to attempi man’s stunts until you are aman. In fact, the years from 14 to 20 are called the training years for after life. , The best features of the two books are the lifting of all mystery from the workings f nature and the advocacy of clean lives, good air and naturalness. No parent can present these matters’ as thoroughly or as convincingly, (Clode.)

“INDIAN PAGES AND PICTURES.” BOOK on India without a chap- Ae: describing the Taj Mahal is unique, but M. M. Shoemaker, in “Indian Pages and Pictures,” purpose- ly omitted a dissertation on the arch- itectural wonders of this most beau- tiful building in the world, because one can find it occupying the place of honor in every other Indian travel story, and he set out to write about only the least-known features of this mystic em- pire. The result is a book that one finds new, however many volumes one may have read on this subject. Mr. Shoemaker has sought in the out- his endeavor has been to conjure up from the dim past for the reader the spirits of romance and poetry. that hover about the ruins of those great cities that were in the heydey of their glory when “the sunlight glistened on the helmets of the coming hosts of Al- exander.”’ It is chiefly a story of how appear today the stages upon which the great deeds of Alexander, Baber and Akbar were performed and Nurma- hal wove her spell of love around Sha- jahan. The tour over which the reader is taken includes the native states which pass unnoticed by the usual travel writer, though it is in them that the romance and story of the East still abide, uncorrupted and undefiled by or- cidentalism. The panorama of Benares, Darjiling, Delhi, Lahore and on up tc Peshawur and the Khyber Pass, where the Russian Bear and the British Lion are likely to come to a death grapple some day is unfolded on colorful canr- vas.

ers or g0-between in Purcell’s recital. He brought in the names of Police non, Corcoran, Naughton and Maude and the late Capt. Thomas and gave the names and dates when collectors called on him and amounts he paid them. He also dragged into the scandal Joe Cassidy, former Democratic boss of Queens; ex-Sheriff Harvey of Queens, and the late John Murphy, brother of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. Capt. Cray is a brother-in-law of Murphy. He swore to payments of $50,- 000 in 10 years, Purcell’s testimofly was regarded as second in importance to the confession of Capt. Thomas W. Walsh and opened the way for further investigations, which are expected to lead to others higher up and possibly directly to the man about whom the ‘‘system’’ re- volves. - Bites His Finger Nails. Purcell, a small man with a retreat- ing forehead, constantly bit his finger nails while testifying. District Attorney Whitman got in touch with Purcell last summer. Until Justice Goff ruled that evidence of police graft could not be in- troduced at the Becker trial, Purcell was expected to be a star witness for the prosecution. Since then Whitman has held him in reserve, Because Purcell was so essentially a District Attorney’s witness, he was ex- amined before the committee by Assist- ant District Attorney Moss, at the sug- gestion of Counsel Buckner. “Mr. Purcell,” began the Assistant District Attorney, “how long have you been connected with gambling in New York?” “Since 1896," answered the witness. Telling of experiences at the Bohemian (ub, with a pool room upstairs and an athletic club on the first floor, he said: “I described the races. Capt. Thomas was one of the regular visitors. He stood all the afternoon In front of the blackboard with the rest of the crowd and bet from $26 to $.w on each race, Captain’s Long Jump. “On one occasion Capt. Thomas told me that Inspector Harley was getting evidence against the place, and we rigged up a buzzer, which was supposed to warn us in case there was a raid. A day or two later the buzzer sounded. Thomas said: ‘My God! There’s Har- ley.’ “Some of the men made for the win- dows. Others got on the fire escapes. Thomas saw a big pile of snow about 40 or 60 feet under the window and he said: ‘That's good enough for me,’ and he made the jump. Then he got into the next yard over the fence and worked his way out into the street. A lot of us met at the corner and then ran around to the door of the pool room. There was nothing doing. “*Theré’s some mistake about this,’ Thomas said. ‘Harley isn’t here.! He said he had $200 bet on the race. So we all went back, and the first thing Thomas said when he got his head in- side the door was: ‘Did my horse win?” Capt. Thomas Walsh and Purcell will go before the grand jury. A big batch of indictments is expected in 10 days.

St. Louis People Tell It:

Clark Avenue N. Ninth Street Labadie Avenue

S SS " Yf lp W. V. Farris, 3643 Clark av., St. Louis, Mo., says: ‘‘I suffered for a long time from an attack of kidney disease and I was often tired and dizzy. Doan’s Kidney Pills were so highly recommended to me that I got a box and began using them. They helped me so much that I continued taking them and by the time I had finished four boxes I was entirely relieved. I + recommended Doan’s Kidney Pills through the newspapers at that time and I am fi pleased to make the fact known that the 4. benefit I got has been permanent.’’ Mrs. Herman Fierke, 1239 N. Ninth st., St. Louis, Mo. says: ‘‘I had such severe attacks of backwthe that it was often hard for me to move and sometimes on getting up from a sitting position I was obliged to place my bands on my hips for support. I could not sleep soundly and in the morning I felt tired and worn out. Hearing of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I got a box from the Wolff-Wilson Drug €Co., and they brought me such prompt ‘relief that I continued taking them until. my trouble was re- moved. I publicly endorsed Doan’s Kid- ney Pills at that time and I am now pleased to say that I have had practically no kidney trouble since. I Know that Doan’s Kidney Pills can be relied upon to brine relief. Another member of my family has used them with benefit. R C. E. Dubbs, Sr., 4270A Labadie av., Bt. Louis, Mo., swys: ‘‘When I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills several years ago, T was suffering from backache and. I was certain that my kidneys were affected. I had often heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills and I procured my supply from the Wolf?- Wilson Drug Co. They gave me prompt re- lief and occasional use since hag kept my kidneys in good working order. I have previously recommended this remedy in a public statement and you may continue to use my endorsement. I am certain that Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine to be had.’’

Aire YOUR Kidneys Weak? HOW TO TELL—First read the testimony and learn what Doan’s Kidney Pills have done for others. Then if your back aches, if sharp pains strike you when stoop- ing or lifting; if you are lame in the morning, tire too easily ; if you. have dizzy spells and are nervous, despondent and in- clined to-worry over trifles, it is likely that your kidneys need

Mrs. G. May, 1111A 8. Compton av., St. Louis, Mo., says: ‘‘I still think highly of Doan’s Kidney Pills and confirm all I said in their favor when I lived in Louisiana, Mo. I had been afflicted for a long time with kidney complaint. I. could, not sleep at night as the result of nervousness and backache. I also had pains across my kid- neys that unfitted me for housework. My husband got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they brought relief so quickly that another of the family took them, In that case great benefit was also had. After coming to St. Louis, I had another attack of kidney complaint and I got Doan's Kidney Pills at the Wolff-Wilson Drug Co. They re- lieved me and during the past year I have not had the least cause for com- plaint.”

ie G. F. Schoenfeld, 1429A Grattan st.,; St. Louis, Mo., says: ‘* For years I was annoyed by pains across the small of my back and in the morning, I.was so lame and sore that I could hardly.get about.. After I had taken remedies of various. kinds, and failed to get permanent benefit, I heard of Doan’s Kidney Pills and procured a supply at the Wolff-Wilson Drug Co. There was soon marked improvement. Doan’t Kidney Pills strengthened my kid- neys and removed all the other symptoms of my complaint. I can confirm all I have ever said about Doan’s Kidney Pills, and give my consent for the continued publi- cation of my statement.’’ -

Mrs. Amelia Heiderman, -1923 Sullivan’ ay., St. Louis, Mo., says. ‘‘Doan’s Kidney Pills are entitled. to my’ most: hearty en- dorsement and I am just as’willing to give’ it to them today as I was some years ago. Kidney complaint came.on me by spells and often I was hardly able to move. I suffered terribly from pains in my back, Doan’s Kidney Pills, obtained from the. Wolff-Wilson Drug. Co., proved to be just the remedy I needed and they completely and permanently rid my system of kidney complaint. Wheneyer | hear anyone com- § age of kidney trouble, I advise the. use of Doan’s Kidney Pills,”’

I was still stand- ing near the mouth of the cave, turn- ing over in my mind exPlained away, when suddenly from the depth of wd tunnel beside me, there issued @ most extraordinary sound. How shall I de- to these very loud. Lastly, it was not a boom, rock; but it was a high whine, trem- ulous and vibrating, almost like the whinnying of a horse. It was certainly @ most remarkable experience, and one which for a moment, I must admit, gave a new significance to Armitage's words. I waited by the Blue John Gap for half an hour or more, but there was no re- turn of the sound, so at last I wan- dered back to the farmhouse, rather mys- tified by what had occurred. Decidedly, I shall explore that cavern when my strength is restored. Of course, Armi- tage’s explanation is too absurd for dis- cussion, and yet that sound was cer- tainly very strange. It still rings in my ears as I write. | April 2—In the last three days I have made several expeditions to the Blue John Gap, and have even penetrated some short distance, but my bicycle lantern is so small and weak that I dare not trust myself very far. I shall do the thing more systematically. I have heard no sound at all, and could almost believe that I had been the victim of some hallucination, suggested, perhaps, by Armitage’s conversation. Of course, the whole idea is absurd, and yet I must confess that those bushes at the en- trance of the cave do present an appear- ance as-if some heavy creature had forced its fay through them. I begin to be keenly interested. I have said noth- ing to the Misses Allerton, for they are quite superstitious enough already, but I have bought some candles, and mean to investigate for myself. April 22—Let me try and set down as accurately as I can my sextraordinary experience of yesterday. I started in the afternoon and made my way to the Blue John Gap. It went down at an acute angle for some 50 feet, the floor being covered with broken stone. Thence there ex-

By good luck I had slipped several bis- cuits into my pocket before [I left the farmhouse. These I now devoured, and washed them down with a draft from that wretched stream which had been the cause of all my misfortunes. Then I felt about for a comfortable seat among the rocks, and, having discov- ered a place where I could get a support for my back, I stretched out my legs and settled myself down to wait. I was wretchedly damp and cold, but I tried to cheer myself with the reflection that modern science prescribed open windows

It may have been for one hour, it may have been for several.

They would most certainly have shouted, and vague as this’sound was ‘which had wakened me, it wasvery dis- tinct from the human voices. I sat pal- pitating and hardly daring :to breathe. There it was again! And again! Now it had become continuous. It was a tread— yes, surely it was the tread of some liv- ing creature. But what a tread it was! It gave one the impression of enormous weight carried upon sponge-like feet, which gave forth a muffled but ear- filling sound. The darkness was as com- plete as ever, but the tread was regular and decisive. And it was coming beyond all question in my direction. My skin grew cold, and my hair stood on end as I listened to that steady and ponderous footfall. There was somo creature there, and surely, by the speed of its advance, it was one who could see in the dark. I crouched low on my rock and tried’ to blend myself into it.

Rufus Stone’s eyes blazed—the red upon his face was patchy—he looked like a man fairly cornered, ready to spring at anyone, or like a just man un- justly accused and s0 angry as to be deprived of speech. | “She was at your house the last few days she was here,” continued Mr. Didy- mus, ‘and I believe you know something about. her.” “Believe and be d-——d to you!” said Rufus, regaining bis voice.

The excitement In Lynchpin became almost hysterie¢, when Mrs. Butler, who aid Uncle Didymus’ washing, came run- ning down the village street one Mon- day morning proclaiming that “old Mr. Dia€ymus was murdered,” The trinity of Lynchpin mysteries was now complete.

_ to you about, strewn over the floors, the wardrobe drawers had been taken out completely and left standing empty upon chairs. The covers of the bed were flung back, as if the old man had prepared to retire. There was blood upon it, and one of the pillowcases had been torn in Lwo, and there were bloody finger prints upon the fragment which remained. The cake of: yellow soap beside the tin basin in the kitchen had the same ominous red smears upon it, and a little water left in the basin was reddened. Where was the body? The search was carried on vigorously. The women remarked that there was no bed linen in the house gave such as was upon the bed. What horrible bundle had been -enwrapped in Uncle Didymus’ linen sheets, about which he was so particular? Presently the male population was mov- ing off up the unused road over the hill. When the men came to the gate which gave access to the stone quarry they found a fresh wagon track leading into it; and followed it till they Came near the brink of the quarry. The officer: paused, asked the men to be silent, an¢ advanced to the brink. They looked down. A man with his coat off was digging a hole—a hole of the length of a grave. He was working silently an: with energy. The officers, standing upon an overhanging ledge, could not see what was directly beneath them, but the rounded end of another mound wa: /. visible. The officers. beckoned to the men, wh drew near quietly. So presently Rufur Stone looked up, to see a fringe of pale. angry faces bending upon him—td find himself caught like a creature in @ trap. They looked about and saw. that the bottom of the quarry was filled witb mounds—broad, low mounds—from twce or three of which jutted clusjera of mushrooms.

“We have come®to arrest you upon ] suspicion of having murdered Henry Didymus,”’ said the officer. “Very good,”’ said Rufus Stone. ‘Walt till I get my coat.’’ He found it and put it on. “What do you think of my mush- rooms?’’ he said to the officer. “You are under arrest,”’ said the lat ter. “‘Anything you say will be use¢ against you.”’ “About mushrooms?” Stone.

The search was exhaustive but nothing suspicious was found. The officers, however, took their prisoner away, and Lynchpin exhausted itself in surmises. The day of the prisoner’s examination came, when Rufus Stone was called t answer to the charge of. murder, and the preliminaries were all gone through, though Lynchpin, looking about the courtroom, saw Uncle Didymus, Ros¢ and Rebecca Stone all sitting together Lynchpin never forgot the remarks of the Judge when this fact was made known to him. Before the court was dismissed Rufus ‘asked damages for the’ destruction of hia mushroom beds, basing the sum of his claim upoii accounts rendered from queried Rufur ® Boston friiterer, to whom he had|’ shipped the mushrooms, simply going }Over the crest of the hill with them. to ‘the Cubeb railway station.

In due time Rose and Rufus, Rebecca and Uncle Didymus mar- ried, and the two households live very comfortably in Cubeb, where Rufus’ experiment in growing mushrooms in the old quarry has been extended intc one of the finest market gardens of the country. Lynchpin was gréatly aggrieved over these things, but worse than all, it never found out who the stranger wae. who entered Rufus Stone’s that Tuesday and departed unseen, nor what wai the burden Rufus carried in the demo- crat wagon that night—yet it was very simple. Rufus took the newspapers, and in one had seen the advertisement of a travagant price for old maple—the older the better. Brave Rebecca knew how hard were the straits through whict Rufus passed for lack of money. They consulted together; the advertisement was answered. The old violin maker came, saw the top of their old kitchen table, was delighted with it, paid for it, and departed through the pasture to the ‘Cubeb station. .Rufus wrapped up the table top and took it away by night for he was sensitive over his poverty! Next day Rebecca bought a new oil- cloth to cover the top Rufus put on the 1 again there was silence, broken by a| more before me, making for the en- tratice of the cave. Again came that paralysig of volition, which held my crooked forefinger impotent upon the trigger. But with a desperate effort I shook it off. Even as the brushwood rustled, and the monstrous beast blend- ed-with the shadow of the Gap, I fired at«the retreating form. In the blaze of the gun I caught a glimpse of a great shaggy mass, something with rough and bristling hair of a withered gray color, fading away .to white in its lower parts, the huge body supported upon short, tthick, curving legs. I had just that glance, and then I heard the rattle of the Stones as the creature tore down into its burrow. In an instant, with a trtumphant revulsion of feeling, I had cast my fears to the wind, and uncov- ering my powerful lantern, with my rifie in my hand, I sprang down from nry rock and rushed after the monster down. the old Roman shaft. My splendid lamp cast a brilliant flood of: vivid light in front of me, very 4dif- ferent from the yellow glimmer which had aided' me down this same passage only’ 12° days before. As I ran I saw the- great. beast lurching along before me, its huge bulk filling up the whole space from ‘wall to wall. Its hair looked like coarse faded oakum, and hung down in long, dense masses which swayed as it moved. It was like an enormous un- clipped sheep in its fleece, but in size it was far larger than the largest ele- phant, and its breadth seemed to be nearly as great as its height. It fills me with amazement now to think that I should ‘have dared to follow such a horror into the bowels of the earth, but when one’s blood !s up, and when one’s succession of long sniffs and snorts, of tremendous volume and energy. Had it caught the scent of me? My own nostrils were filled by a low fetid odor. mephitis and abominable. Then I heard the steps again. They were on my side of the stream now. The stones rat- tled within a few yards of where I lay. Hardly daring to breathe, I crouched upon my rock. Then the steps drew away. I heard the splash as it re- turned across the river, and the sound died away into the distance in the di- rection from which i{t had come. I‘now took my matches and felt them. They seemed perfectly hard and ry. Stooping down into a crevice of the rocks, I tried one of them. To: my de- light it took fire at once. I let the can- dle, and, with a terrified backward giance into the obscure dépths of the cavern, I hurried in the direction of the Roman passage. As I did so I passed the patch of mud on which I had seen the huge imprint. Now I stood as- tonished before it, for there were three similar imprints upon its surface, enormous in size, irregular in outline, of a depth which indicated the ponder- ous weight which: had left them. Then @ great terror surged over me. Stooping and shading my candle with my hand, I ran in a frenzy of fear to }the rocky archway, hastened down it, and never stopped until, with weary feet and panting lungs, I rushed up the final slope of stones, broke through the tangle of briers and flung myself ex- hausted upon the soft grass under the peaceful light of the stars.

The country people had the in stopping up the entrance of t®s There is a sharp slope where the shaft begins, and great boulders, rolled along by many willing hands, were thrust down it until the Gap was absolutely sealed. So ends the episode which has caused such ex- citement throughout the country. Le- cal opinion is flercely divided upon On the one hand are those who point to Dr. Hardcastle’s impaired health, and to the posst- bility of cerebral lesions of tuber- cular origin giving rise to strange Some idee fixe, ac- cording to those gentlemen, caused the doctor to wander dowh the tun- nel, and a fall among the rocks was sufficient to account for his inju- On the other hand,’ a legend of a strange creature in the Gap has existed for some months back, and the farmers look upon Dr. Hardcas- tle’s narrative and his personal in- juries as a final corroboration. So the matter stands, and so the matter will continue to stand, for no defi- nite solution seems to us to be now possible. It transcends human wit to give any scientific explanation which could cover,.the alleged facts.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. that the passage down which I was rac- ing opened -into a great central cave. into: this I rushed, fearful lest I should lose, all trace of the beast. But he had turned upon his own tracks, and in a moment we were face to face. That picture, seen in the brilliant white light of the lantern, is etched forever upon. my brain. He had reared up on his hind legs as a bear would do, and stood above me, enormous, menacing—such a creature as no nightmare had ever brought to my imagination. I have said that he reared like a bear, and there was something bear-like—if one could conceive a bear which was tenfold the bulk of any bear seen upon earth—in his whole pose and attitude, in his great crooked forelegs with their ivory-white claws,:in his rugged skin, and in his red, gaping, mouth, fringed with monstrous fangs. .Qnly.in one point did he differ rom the bear, or from any other creatufe which walks the earth, and even at that supreme moment a shud- der of horror passed over me as I ob- served that the eyes which glistened in the glow of my lantern were huge, pro- jecting bulbs, white and sightless. For a moment his great paws swung over my head. The next he fell forward upon me, I and my broken lantern crashed to the earth, and I remember no more. - « a When I came to myself I was back in the farmhouse of the Allertons. Two days had passed since my terrible ad- venture in the Blue John Gap. It seems that I had lain all night in the cave in- sensible from concussion of the brain, with my left arm and two ribs badly fractured. In the morning my note had been found, a search party of a dozen farmers assembled, and I had been tracked’ down and carried back to my bedroom, where I had lain in high de- lirilum ever since. There was, it seems, no: sign of the creature, and no blood- stain which would show that my "1 “ had found him as he aie ee tn | ia 14,1 A.

On the whole, I think that my best course is to wait, and to prepare for some expedition which shall. be more deliberate and better thought out than the last. As a first step I have been to Castleton and obtained a few essen- tials—a large acetylene lantern for one thing, and a good double-barreled sport- ing rifle for another. The latter I have hired, but I have bought a dozen heavy game cartridges, which would bring down a rhinoceros. Now I am ready fo: my troglodyte friend. June 10.—I am writing this, propped up in bed, six weeks after my last entry in this journal. I have gone through a terrible shock both in mind and body, arising from such an experience as has seldom befallen a human being. before. But I have attained my end. The dan-| get from the Terror which: dwells in the}. Bhie John Gap has passed, never’ to re turn. This much at least I, a broken invalid, have done for the common good. Let me now recount what occurred, as clearly as I may. The night of Friday, May 3, was dark and cloudy—the very night for the mon- ster to walk. * Abott 11 o'clock I went from the farm house with my lantern and my rifle, having first left a note upon the table of my bedroom in which I said that if I were missing search should be made for me in the direction of the Gap. I made my way to the mouth of the Roman shaft, and, having perched myself among the rocks close to the opening, I shut off my lantern and waited patiently with my loaded rifle ready to my hand. Twelve o’clock struck in the distant church, then one, then two. It was the darkest hour of the night. The clouds were drifting low, and there was not a star in the sky. An owl was hooting somewhere among the rocks, but no other sound, save the gentle sough of the wind, came to my ears. And then suddenly I heard it! From far away down the tunnel came those muffled steps, so soft and yet so ponderous. I heard also the rattle of stones as they gave way under that giant tread. They drew nearer. They were close upon me. I heard the crashing of the bushes around the entrance, and then dimly through the darkness I was conscious of the loom of some enormous shape, some monstrous inchoate creature, pass- ing swiftly and very silently out from the tunnel. I was paralyzed with fear and amazement. Long as I had waited, now that it had actually come I was unprepared for the shock. I lay motion- less and breathless, whilst the great dark mass whisked by me and was swallowed up in the night. There was no warning of approach irstead come

lers Gives Tip of Blaze and Weavers File Out of ‘Building. NEW YORK, Feb. 8—Blind men set an example of remarkable calmness when 60 of them, all sightless, felt their way quietly down from the upper floors of an institution on Thirty-fifth street, while the building was on fire. The men were weaving baskets and making. brooms, when some of them felt drops of water pattering down upon them. “There must be a fire,’’ cried one. “The automatic sprinklers are work- ing.”’ 7 ‘I smell smoke. There is a fire,” €X- claimed others. And with little aid, they felt their way to the stairs and marched calmly down to the street. Firemen arrived a few minutes later and extinguished a small blaze, which had started the automatic sprinklers,

Couple on Auto Trip Lay Help- less 45 Hours in Desert After Accident. MAGDALENA, N. M., Feb. &—As a result of an explosion which destroyed their motor car in the desert near Quen- anada, N. M., 70 miles west of here, Ww. H. Hanson, a Denver restaurant man, was seriously and his wife fatally burned. News of the accident reached here by courier on horseback to sum- mon medical aid. The Hansons, who were traveling over the ocean-to-ocean highway to Cali- fornia, from Denver, had camped under some pine trees. They puilt a fire and prepared breakfast. Sparks dropped in- to an open tank of gasoline on the caf. In the explosion Mrs. Hanson, who was in the machine, and her husband were burned. Both lay helpless for almost fifteen hours in the cold before being discovered by a cowboy. The Hansons were taken to Datil. This is the first serious accident to oc-

but which was caught so quickly that it did ee damage. cur on the transcontinental highway.

= BTS IF in BUILD 18 SHIPS 10 10 SUITS GERMANY Von Terpitz Declares Admiralty Is Now Prepared to Accept Churchill’s Proposal. _ TY LT BERLIN, Feb. 8.—Grand Admiral von Tirpitz has informed the secret com- mittee of the Reichstag that Germany is prepared to reach a naval agreement with England on the basis of a propor- tion of 18 English first-class warships to 10 German, as suggested by Winston Spencer Churchill in March, 1912. Simultaneously the new Foreign. Sec- retary, Von Jagow, said the German relations with England are especially good. The news, which spread through the city, has awakened the keenest enthu- slasm, as it is considered as likely to remove one of the gravest dangers. A prominent Berlin banker, in touch with political circles, - to the Post-Dis- patch correspondent today: “I have reason to believe Admiral von Tirpitz’s statement is of the ut- most political importance. I don’t think any agreement has yet been signed, but unless the English Admiralty has changed its mind there is no doubt that one will be. “I believe, too, that some agreement is in the wind which will remove Anglo-German friction in Asia Minor and compensate Germany by conces- sions in Africa, though I cannot say whether such an agreement has been mooted. For some time we have heard rumors of an Anglo-German agreement on many points that would be made when the King paid his expected visit in the summer.” The well-informed Vossiche Gazette says that Won Tirpitz’s statement is equivalent to the announcement of a partial naval agreement and the re- moval of one of the most serious stumb- ling blocks, and should prove a good augury for further friendly develop- ments between England and Germany: It is noteworthy that Vienna tele- grams say the Austrian press comments on the Von Tirpitz statement from the same standpoint as the Vossiche. ABE MORRIS HEARD IN VIOLIN RECITAL Abe Morris, the talented young St. Louis violinist who has just returned from four years of study under Cesar Thompson and Alfred Marchot in Brus- sels, gave a recital at the Odeon Fri- day. night that offered proof of his progress in the art to which he has devoted “himself. He was heard in Handel’s A Major sonate, Lalo’s Spanish symphony, the Wagner-Wilhelmj ‘‘Albumblatt,’’ Mar- chot’s “Concert Etude” and Pagani- ni’s “I Palpiti,"”” the numbers constitut- ing a quite trying test of virtuosity. His performance was pleasing as a whole, and, at the conclusion of his program he received several curtain calls and held an informal reception: During the intermission the list was read of the members of the 8t. Louls Club whose contributions enabled young Morris to prosecute his studies abroad. Alfred G. Robyn, now in New York, who first interested these St. Louis clubmen in the boy violinist, is plan- ning for young Morris’ appearance in the metropolis at an early day. Charles Galloway, director of the Apollo and Morning Choral clubs, was the piano accompanist at Friday night’s recital.

Civil War Scenes Duplicated Today Fifty years ago people were crowded about newspaper and postoffices to get the latest news from the front. Today such scenes are duplicated in the towns across the river from St. Louis, from which hundreds of men have gone to take part in the war in the Balkans. Fifty have been killed and thrice that many wounded. “Getting the War News in the Tri-Cities” is a story of thril- ling interest. Three Girls on the New Money Do you know that all paper money is to be smaller than the present bills? The new money will have on the hack of each bill pictures of three American beauties. The artist who drew the design refuses to reveal the identity of the central figure. She will be the girl of mystery unless you happen to know her personally. Helping the Blind to Help Themselves A new movement is under way in St.. Louis. Those in charge want to find all blind persons in the city. They have new methods of making life bright- er for those who cannot see. This story tells what they are doing for the blind and how the blind are helped to do things for themselves. ow tes These and Many Other Features in s) i Tomorrow's unday Post-Dis The Tragedy of a Trunk A woman who hid in a trank | to play a joke on her husband caused a tragedy which recalls the old song entitled “The Mistletoe Bough.” You may have sung or read it. Fact is stranger than fiction. a Wonderful New Night Scene in St. Louis It is not necessary to hark back to Arabian Nights times or medieval day in order to find scenes of poetic interest. There is an every-week-night scene in St. Louis full of poetic sug- gestion, and yet intensely mod- ern. It is the subject of a beautiful color page. tL St. Louis Girls in Oriental Garb The Picture Section has a page of photographs showing ma- trons and maids in the gor- geous Oriental and fan fat costumes worn at the Lieder- kranz masque ball. You may know some of them. $ The Gould:Shepard Wedding There is another page of i tures taken at the wodiiion of Finley J. Shepard of St. Louis to Miss Helen Gould. Mr. Shepard looks happy, and his bride, as you know, said it was “the happiest day of her life.” Most of the Goulds are showa. | in the photographs.
