There was a variety pro gram which was followed by dancing to the music of Jack Boynton and his orchestra, with Arthur Nunn and Edwin Lofig acting as master of cere monies for the modern and old time numbers. A play, “A Dispatch Goes Home,” was well presented. The scene was an upstairs room in a hotel in Cairo, where Sir Percival Whittersby, (C. W. Slater) and Lady Lydia Whitters- by, (Arthur Nunn), had taken up ■ temporary residence and were being guarded by Ahmed (Charles Dyke man), a dusky Arab. Then enters Mr. Duff, a traveller and detective, (John Spittai), and arrests Ahmed, explain ing to Sir Percival and Lady Lydia that their faithful servant was none other than the villain.

Thirty years ago, last Saturday, December 10th, Samuel G. Zurbrigg came to Ingersoll and,took over the bakery that he at present, operates at 120 Thames street. In those days Mr. Zurbrigg recalls that very few cakes were sold and the type of bread was of a more coarse texture and differed greatly from the fine quality bread that it is possible to turn out to-day with modern mach inery. The loaves in those days were a pound and a quarter tn weight, compared to the 24 oz. loaf of to-day and sold for 5c.

Scores of trees will be used here and so it is multiplied across Canada and in the United States. While no statistics are yet at hand concerning the number of Christmas trees which will be cut in Canada, a report from the States estimated that one million trees will be shipped aouth from the State of Maine alone and some four hundred carloads will be sold in New York, while two hundred and fifty carloads will go into the homes of Chicago. It is not improbable that the Christmas tree trade will represent the transaction of more than $10,000,000 worth of business in the country ty the south of us, not including Canada. In addition, of course, there will be numerous small hemlocks, untold numbers of trees which will be cut privately from woodlots, a few filched from public forest preserves and gathered from other sources. The trees, of course, are only a part of the whole beautiful and spectacular scheme. Literally millions of lights, countless colored balls, enough tinsel to stretch around the earth and innumerable other objects, all bright and cheerful, will help to run up a heavy invest ment in happiness and bring delight to thousands of hearts. Every Christmas some one has to remind us that the present rate of cutting these small trees for decoration purposes, will reduce the supply so senouly that trees will not be within reach, of those of modest means. However, the prospect is not a problem of the immedi ate future. At present there is deep satisfaction in the right of a prettily decorated tree at Chn.tmas time. Ingersoll homes should be decorated for Christmas, many prettily lighted trees, displayed on verandahs and through the windows, add much to the enjoyment of the festive season and arc a good advertisement for the town to the many visitors who come here for the festive season. O -----0-------- Memories of Christmas If a ballot were to be taken as to which is the most popular holiday, which one would get the votes? One guess only is necessary on this election. It would of course be good old Christmas. That is the one that lingers the most in pur memories, to which the most imagination clings, which brings back most clearly the faces of the past, which presents the most vivid picture of scenes that were brightest The tumults of other holidays are soon forgotten. But those tender scenes of Christmas how they linger in the minUi! Those old pictures bring back the faces of dear old friends who have marched on before, par ents, grandparents, many others who deprived them selves of things they needed, that they might load up old Santa with the things we had dreamed of but could not provide for ourselves. What scenes of family jollity come back in those galleries of memory! Loved persons now silent were then bubbling over with gaiety and fun, waking the homes by their laughter, playing tricks and joining with the children in kid games, finding youth again after the lapse of long years of toil and anxiety. What is it in Christmas that thus turns labour and anxiety into merriment and forgetfulness of unhappy thought? Clearly it is but one thing, that for a day we acquire the giving spirit. Instead of striving for our selves, we begin to think of other folks and what would make them happy. Heavy Reading Any time now the 1939 edition of one of our best sellers, fresh from the press, will be streaming into offices, shops, and homes. Its statistical dryness will be illuminated by art work astonishing if not always impressive. The illustrations will be varied as to color and subjects but it is safe to predict the old favorites will be among those present. The hunter will call the moose in four colours; the cows will be in the meadow of surprising pink ness; the old homestead will be seen st^ndir^ firm under two tons of snow and the same amount of mortgages; the inevitable pointers will still point at unseen quail just north of January or June as the seasons progress. That’s right, it’s the calendar. Indispensable as the morning milk, the calendar registers with inexorable impartiality the good days and those not so good. It will support unfalteringly the axiom that the surest way to a short Winter is a ninety-day note, also it will slow the flight of time if your main concern is that happy day which marks the start of riext Sum mer’s vacation. Should Mint Coin A suggestion, which should meet with wide approval, has been made that the Canadian Government should authorize the minting of a special silver dollar to commemorate the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to Canada next spring ... It will be recalled that an insatiable demand met the minting of a special dollar to mark the silver jubilee of the late King George V, likewise that commemorating the coronation of King George VI. In all likelihood there would be an even greater demand for the special coins on this occasion not only from resident Canadians but on the part of visitors in our midst, of whom there will be many thousands for this memorable event . . . The Government will be well-advised to make this issue a specially large one. Exercise Exercise should be regular and, at middle age, never strenuous. The purpose of exercise is to get the body healthily tired, not overtired. A strenuous game of badminton for a man or woman over thirty- five years of age, especially after a hard day’s work, is slow poison. Any tbo-vigorous exercise exhausts you nervously and physically. There is not much fun in connection with doing “setting-up” exercises every morning but they do help to ’keep you fit without any undue strain on your system. This exercise, in conjunction with walk ing. golf, skating or other seasonal recreational activ ity, should certainly suffice for the average person. Do not over-exercise. In this connection we are reminded of Chauncey Depew who, when asked what kind of exercise he took, answered: “I get my exercise acting as pallbearer to my friends who exercise.” Help U« Improve We want you to feel that this is YOUR newspaper. If you have suggestions to make let’s hear them. We are anxious to improve the paper, and your ideas may be >ery useful to us. If you have any criticisms to offer, we would also appreciate them. A questionnaire to college boys and girls results in in the opinion that there is no such persons as an ideal man or woman. So much depends on the ideals of the person answering the questionnaire. Still ideals do exist, but if one boy or girl possessed them all, they would likely be impossible to live with. DICKENS AT CHRISTMAS TIME The Festive season draws on apace to be celebrated in various ways by people in different parts of the world. For many it is entirely a religious festival, with gaiety being kept for the New Year’s celebration; for others it is a combination of both; while for still others it is a season of merriment pure and simple. But for all it is a season of good-will, for that spirit underlies even the most religious festival. At such a time it is pleasant to refresh our minds with anything that will create that spirit—to feed them as well as our bodies, with season able food. Only we should do the former beforehand so that we may be ready for the Great Day. And in a secular way, leaving the relig ious aspect to be dealt with by those qualified to do so, we suggest more reading of Dickens at this season. Dickens, who has so enriched our literature, who largely restored the joy of Christmas, after it had been very thoroughly stifled by Crom well. We are inclined to give him credit for coining the greeting “Merry Christmas,” for we do not find it before it apeared in “A Christmas Carol.” And- in using it he meant it, as the word is con nected with “sportive,” and no sport is genuine without the spirit of good-will. We feel certain that no writer in our language is more quoted at Christmas time than Dick ens, his writings expressing the true spirit of the season, for it was he who wrote of it as “a kind, forgiving," charitable, pleasant time,” which seems to sum it all up. So a few minutes snatched from the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations and spent in following old Ebenezer Scrooge through the weird experiences necessary to soften his hard old heart, and the delight when that was accomplish ed, in entering into the pleasure of J he party at Dingley Dell with the "Pickwick Club^would be profitable for each of us. As fhis is a time for renewing friendships, it is well to meet again that fine character, Bob. Cratehit, who has a lesson for everyone, to say nothing of Mrs, Cratchit, a model of cheerfulness and the art of making the best of what she had; to hear some of Sam Weller’s wise-cracks that would cam him a fortune on the radio now; to meet those and many more whom to know is a real pleasure. All this and more is provided for us by one writer. He does deserve a thought of gratitude from us at this time. HOUSE and HOME - by Mary E. Dague — Author of Sister Mary’s Kitchen Who Owns The North Pole? That infWtntial journal published in London, Eng land, entitled “Canada’s Weekly,” and which takes a keen interest in Canadian affairs, asks the question, “Who owns the North Pole? If land and resources of value are found there do they belong to Canada, to ■Russia, which has established a flying post there, or to the United States because of Perry's discovery of the North Pole some years ago? In answer to this question it is pointed out that the boundaries laid down in the international partition of the Arctic, while they are as invisible as the boun dary between Canada and United States, are equally capable of exact delimination. All that portion of the Arctic region .coming within the pro jections of the lines of longitude of each country be longs to that country. If that is the case, then ther/ can be no ground for dispute as to territorial owner ship. Canada has the control of that region, second in vastness only to that held by Soviet Russia, lying between Canada’s mainland, stretching from the east ern boundary of Alaska to Baffin Sea and Davis Strait, and reaching to the North Pole. The fact of the matter is that the Soviet flights were carried out with the consent of other countries and by arrangement with them regarding the territory belonging to them over which the aviators had to fly. The ownership of these lands may or may not be important Aerial navigation and exploration have, however, proved that enormous mineral wealth is found in these northern regions. If resources fail elsewhere, these may ultimately be developed. Until that time the question is not likely to be important. ■^ The Trend of The City • For yeai*s, socially-minded people have been be moaning the trend of the human race toward the big cities and away from the country and the small towns. Now, however, Government statisticians have figured that there is a decided movement of population away fromthe cities and back to the country. The automobile is principally responsible for this. It islpp&sible for people to live in rural regions and work in the big towns, and thereT* a growing desire to get away from the noise of the cities,and to live in smaller and quieter country places. Most people have an idea that country life' is the normal life of humanity, ahd that there is something modem and unnatural in city life. The exact opposite is true, we are told by the anthropoligists who spend their lives digging into the history of the human race. Primitive man lived in cities, as big cities as he could build. Life anywhere elqe was too dangerous. Man is not only a gregarious animal, fond of the so ciety of his kind, but very early in. his development ha learned that the open spaces we/e full of dangers. There is nothing to be concerned about in the growth of towns.. Probably the largest cities will not get much larger. Indeed, New York, the largest on the North American Continent, is losing population. There are as many people as ever, if not more, who go to New York daily for work, but who sleep in some of the outlying boroughs of the city, or in adjacent •ounties or even in other states. The steam engine is responsible for the big modern TH E D OC T O R Telia The Story by W. E. AUGHINBAUGH, M.D. INSANITY The brain is the citadel of the senses, said Pliny The Elder centuries ago, and that observation is as true today as when it was first given to the world. In my years at medicine I have seen men and women confined in institutions who seemed to me to be more rational than those outside its walls—many of them true philosophers—and I have repeatedly en countered patients in their homes, who, in* my judgment, should be confined. My strangest experience with an insane patient, and one which I can never forget, happened some years ago. The man, an exceptional all around ath lete, had more than three hundred trophies. His hands were the most powerful I have cyei-seen His business career was remarkable. . Starting with practically no capital he built up an enormous trade, acquired property and employed many people. To me he always seemed calm, sane and practical, and I attended him and all his family for many years. One day he proceeded to his bank, withdrew \ $35,000 and went on a spending spree, giving pres ents of all sorts to friends and also to people with whom he nad only the slightest acquaintance. That afternoon he purchased all'the staterooms on a steamer that left at night for a large city, and thusbecame its sole passenger. He wined and dined the officers and the deck hands, and attracted so much attention that the cap tain of the vessel had the police ari-est him when they arrived next morning at their destination. His family were notified and I, with his son, went after him. He accompanied us home without - making any trouble and ultimately was adjudged insane and ordered confined. After he had been in, the sanatorium for a month or so, he sent me a most friendly note asking me to visit and take dinner with him. J went to the place Sunday and was told by the superintendent, a well- known doctor, that he had shown great improvement. We talked for sometime, ate a hearty meal together and when we were alone he arose, came over to me and said: “Your testimony put me here. I am not crazy but am going to kill you for what you did." Then he laughed like a fiend from the nether re gion! and reached for my throat, grasinpg it in his powerful hands. As I resisted him, he remarkedtauntingly; “Im insane you know—decided butene hy the courts—and they cannot punish me for murdering you and that is what I am going to do.” Of course I fought with him but was rapidly being overcome when attendants reached the / place and saved my life. I see this man now and thefi, and to one unfamiliar with his past, there are no indications ofhis diseased mind. He is keen witted/ He speaks intelligently. But he has tried to HU several of his family and attendants and must remain confined for the rest of his days. \ In this age of push buttons, cars, telephones and tired nerves we are apt to neglect our four hundred muscles. Even if you do take “set ting up” exercises night and morn ing you should keep moving during the day. Step out briskly with a purpose, breathe deeply of the fresh Decem ber air and keep the youthful arch in your diaphragm. ' The breathing exercises of a singer are an amazing aid for a faulty posture. Take a deep breath, filling your lungs with air and expanding your chest. Then blow out without losing the chest expansion. Now your shoulders are up and straight, your head 'is well poised and your;muscles in the re gion of your stomach are taut. Walk, as far as you can without changing the position of your shoulders’and chest ''Watch your weight The too thin woman as well as the too heavy woman needs to eat intelligently. If you are eating to gain weight don’t neglect the mid-morning and mid afternoon lunches. Both the reduc ing and gaining diets should be bal anced with plenty of fruit and vegetables. A ‘time budget is a helpful little thing that makes for greater effic iency and more leisure hours for homemakers. Of course some women work faster with their hands, are "quick turned" as our grandmothrs phrased it, but if you give yourself so much time to do certain tasks, such as dishwashing qf)d bed-making you will ;oon learn to work fast enough to get them done Recording to your schedule. Hospitals train their student nurses to make a bed in three minutes. If these girls can do this, draw sheet, mitered corners and all, it seems to me we ought to make our -own ■ beds with equal speed.

Then Thanksgiving was the greftt holiday of the whole year in those part*. Puritan NeW Englanders held it in greater religious significance than Christmas. Everybody went to church in the morning, and then came home and stuffed themselves with a bountiful dinner. And to my childish taste the best thing about the dinner was the pie. My grandmother was a great pie maker, and when she had her whole family of married sons and daugh ters and their families home for the holiday, the daughters and daugh ters-in-law would pitch in and help bake pies. I remember one day at Grand mother's when there were 28 of the family at the table and seven differ ent kinds of pie. Cross-barred cran berry pie vied with open-faced lemon pie and covered mince pie for popu larity. There were two kinds of apple pie, one made from fresh fruit, the other from dried apples. And of course there was pumpkin pie, and usually squash pie made from the hard Hubbard squash. My father preferred dried-apple pie, but my mother used to recite a bit of doggerel with which I agree: “I hate, abhor, detest, despise, Abominate dried-apple pies. Tread on my toes and tell me lies But don’t feed me dried-apple pies.”• • • OYSTERS ..... . recipes Next to pie and baked beans, I think oysters were the most popular in my childhood. I never saw or even heard of anyone eating a raw oyster until I was ten and we moved down to Washington. New England housewives, however,, had a dozen ways of cooking oysters, all of which made good eating. The oyster stew was the favorite. My great-grandfather had brought back from one of his trading voy ages to China a set of Canton china ware in a blue-and-white pattern, and the huge soup tureen when filled with oyster stew held all the food a large family could eat at a mejil. My sister still has that old tureen. I saw it not long ago and estimate that it must hold almost two gallons. Two or three quarts of shelled oy sters cooked up with milk and butter and served with the old-fashioned oyster crackers, which were just small soda-crackers, made a meal fit tc serve a king, especially when there was mince-pie to top it off. Scalloped oysters were another favorite way of serving them. In Boston I remember we used to get a “pan roast” in which each oyster was cooked on a slice of thin toast. Fried ousters in*the old New Eng land style were not like the ones city folks get in restaurants. Each oyster was rolled in cornmeal and they were fried in an open, shallow pan. Oyster fritters, with the oy sters chopepd up, mixed with batter and fried in deep fat is another fondly-remembered childhood delic acy.• • ■ SEAFOOD ... . chowder Living near the coast, we used to depend largely on the s(fa for our food. I still think the finest fish is a steak cut from a New England swordfish. We didn’t care much for the hard clams or “quahaugs” down East when I was a child. They’/e about the only clams one can get nowadays anywhere south of Bos ton. But the long, soft clams which could be dug up on almost any beach, made one of the most delicious foods obtainable, clam chowder. Modern folks have been spoiled by the New York idea of putting tomatoes in clam chowder, and mak ing it out of round clams. Real Yankee clam chowder contains salt pork, cut-up potatoes and onions and not much else besides clams. The most popular summer picnic was a clambake on the beach. We built an oven of large beach stones like a huge saucer, and piled drift wood "on it to make a great'bonfire. While the stones were heating we dug clams, caught any small fish we could get, and often picked a mess of scallops from the seaweed. Then we swept off the ashes and put a layer of clams on the red-hot stones, then a layer of green com, if we had it, then layers of fish,-or scallops and anything else handy. We piled1 seaweed over it all, put a big taipaulin on top and let it steam for two or three hours. That made a real feast. • • • EATING . . . companionship I’ve been talking about eating as if it were the most important thing in the world. It’s more than that: it’s one of the most interesting things 'we do. I’m always sorry for the man or woman who has to eat alone. Nobody gets much pleasure out of eating without companionship. I don’t know of anything that makes for friendship and human kindliness more than sitting around a table with people who have a common interest And I don’t know of anything that is of much more social value than the custom of kav- and good wishes of the Presi dent, General Manager and 3taff of Imperial Bank of C anada at Head Office, Toronto, the manager and staff of this branch add their personal greetings to all friends of the bank in this locality, and extend to them personally the good old wish; "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." m IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA . T. R. JONES, L. K. LLUYD,Manager Woodstock Branch, ing community suppers, whether under the auspices of a church, a volunteer fire department, or the community as a whole. I would rather go to such a gath ering for a meal than to cat in the most exper^ive restaurant surround ed by strangers. One does not re main a stranger long when he sits down to a supper which the ladies of a church or the Women’s Institute, have prepared with their own hands. It isn’t the quality of the feed that counts, thought that is often about the best there is. The thing is the neighborliness, the fee’ing that by eating at the same table we have made a new tie with each other. It is hard to have any but friendly feelings for one with whom one has broken bread. The foundation upon which the Christian Church is built is just that, the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. If all the warlike heads of govern ments got together for a feast every Saturday night, it would do more to stave off war than all the diplomacy in the world. Monday After Christmas and New Year’s Day Legal Holidays Toys To Cost Dad Millions Santa’s middle men at Chicago, predict a $183,750,000 toy bill would be placed in dad’s sock in the United States and Canada this Christmas . This would be about five per cent more than was spent last wear to spread holiday cheer among the youngsters. The array around Christmas trees this year, including toys, will cost each family an average of $62.50, according to a survey by the Na tional Consumers Tax Commission of the United States. The commis sion said retail sources predict a total Christmas business approaching $2,000,000,000. Merchants were expected to add between 250,000 and 3000,000 per sons to payrolls during the holiday rush, the commission estimated, and the turnover should raise total 1938 Sales for the year to at least past year’s volume of nearly $40,- 000,000,000. The keynote of 1938 toy business is “modernization,” said toy exhibi tors. w The rag doll and wooden cart of 20 years ago have been trans formed into babies that do every thing except think and streamlined vehicles with bumpers designed to spare the living-room furniture. - The two Mondays immediately following Christmas and New Year’s Day, December 26 and January 2, will be legal holidays in all the pro vinces of Canada according to statute. Under the Bills of Exchange act, governing some commercial opera tons, it is >provided that the following shall be legal or “non-puridical days”—“the day next following New Year’s day, Christmas day, Victoria day, Dominion day, and the birth day of the reigning sovereign when such days respectively fall on Sun day.” The extent to which such days are observed by business people and others is largely a matter of their own judgment, but any business of a nature governed by the act would not be legal. Other non-juridical days fixed by the statute and applicable to all Canada included: Sundays, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Dominion day, Labor day, Armistice day and any day fixed by proclamation for a- public holiday “or a general thanks giving throughout Canada.”, Canadian Cattle Exports Cattle exports to the United King dom for 1938 up to November 18 totalled 27,098 head as against 9,762 head in the corresponding period in, 1937. Canadian cattle exported to the United States up to November 24 included 69,728 beef cattle, 10,- 779 dairy cattle—total 80,507 head. In addition calves numbered 44,441 head.

HaselWoods, lovely and brilliant youngactress, has been helped to success byEthridge. -She lives In a small cottage owned by Ethridge. . . . JacobRiggs, eccentric old-time actor, now adoorman at the theater where HaselWoods plays, has appointed himselfher guardian and lives in a room over MOSSLEY BANNER The next day Mary Holmes hired aneighbor to take charge of her poultry farm, then she dressed in her best, packed a few belongings in a valiseand went to a hotel in town, whereshe found a room already engaged for her and a woman awaiting herarrival. The stranger proved to be a matron from the girls’ reformatory.Together the two women visited several-shops and department stores and made numerous purchases. A hairdresser and a manicurist were at the hotel when they returned; with theiraid and under the matron’s directionsMary Holmes went through quite a transformation. Later in the afternoonshe put herself in the hands of a facial masseuse.Mrs. Holmes experienced a greatpride and a great satisfaction in her changed appearance, also a growingelation at the full realization of her -new situation. She would have beenthoroughly contented with the state of affairs except for one thing—shediscovered that the matron had gone through her valise and removed herbottle of gin, her storm anchor. Sin. hinted that she was quite tired andlet down after the day’s excitemcnano felt the need of a little stimulant out the matron told her firmly tliashe must -du without. It. was Mr Vogel's orders. Mrs. Holmes argue,that she had a bad heart and wa ■ subject to "low’' spells; her doctor haprescribed a small nip of liquor, several times a day—not enough to lx intoxicating, of course, just sufticicnto keep he%poor heart going. But the matron did not drink an.’,she declared very firmly that she dm not propose to let her charge drink.That, in fact, was the principal reasonfor her presence here, and Mrs. Holmes might as well make up hermind right now to indulge in nothingmore heart stimulating than tea andcoffe until Mr. Vogel was throughwith her. This domineering attitude resulted in a stormy scene during which Mrs.Holmes indignantly demanded to knowif she was free, white, and twenty-one,or if she was Mr. Vogel’s prisoner,his slave. The matron informed her coldly that she could consider herselfanything that pleased her, but if sheinsisted upon disobeying the prosecut ing attorney he could find ready meansof committing her to some place where she would be forcibly restrained frommaking a beast of herself. In spite of her pleasant surroundings, Mrs. Holmes slept badly thatnight and when she awoke she wa- irritable, her nuyes were unstrung.In his inv’S^ation of the Ethridge murder Mr. Vogel’s diligence was notprompted solely by an impersonal de sire to solve a mystery and to bringthe perpetrator of a dastardly crime tojustice. Few officials arc animated bymotives so simple and so public spirited. He had not asked to handle this case; the assignment had beenforced upon him by reason of thewidespread interest which the press awakened in it. Quite naturally, therefore, he had determined to get as much publicity as possible out of it for himself. To that end he had kept in closetouch with the newspaper men and periodically had fed them enoughnews, both real and imaginary, to keep the case, and his name, on thefront page. But reporters are wise and worldly; daily they were becoming more difficult to handle; some ofthem had begun to refer rather bitingly in their daily stories fo hislack of progress and several had told him tliat they would be called in before long unless there was sonicthingdoing. Had Vogel been entirely sel fish he would have welcomed an opportunity to work unhindered and un embarrassed. but as it was he urgedthem to wait and promised important developments in a short time. Theywaited. Westland waited. The coun- try waited.Vogel kept his promise. He wot foithe reporters. He kept them waitinj for an hour before admitting them t<his private office, then he asked thento be seated while he read them ai affidavitIt was an amazing document tha they listened to—it was the stenographic report of a carefully preparestatement by Mary Holmes. Mrs. Holmes "being duly sworn,'etc., recited that about ten o'clock orthe night upon which Amos Ethridg: had met his death an automobile badpassed her house going east and badstopped near the entrance to the Ethridge lane. There it had turned offthe road into a small grove of pine trees which were visible from herfront window. That which had causedher in particular to notice this car was the fact that it was running withone headlight. When it stopped in the grove, this one light had beenturned off. She had wondered whatanyone could be doing in that place at such an hour and had suspectedthat it might be somebody from theItalian settlement contemplating araid on her chicken bouse. Marauders had robbed her roosts so often that she had been forced to buy awatchdog. She would have satisfied herselfpromptly, only for the fact that herson Gerald arrived a few minutes later and his coming drove it out ofher mind. Gerald had remained withher until after midnight. When hehad gone, apprehension, or perhapscuriosity to see if the car was still there, had prompted her to investigate. She had walked up the road, moving slowly and cautiously. Shewas still some distance from the pintgrove when another car had ap proached from behind her, and in orderto avoid detection in the glare * ’ts lights she had stepped aside into -clump of bushes. This second car had turned at the lane and had stopped,with its lights brilliantly illuminatingthe gate and the shrubbery on each side of it. Mrs. Holmes had recognized the driver, when he got out to open the gate, as Amos Ethridge. Ho was fixing the crow of twig*. Vogel paused and glanced at the reporters. They were trozen in various attitudes of attention, so he resumediiis reading: “i was much relieved to see him.here and I was just about to call toaim and ask him to wait a minute.vhen I saw something very strangeand startling. Suddenly, withoutwarning, the bushes jiarted and a"nan stepped out. He was dressed in i long white cloak or mantle. 1nought it must be a ghost! “Question. Describe this man,please, as closely as you can. “Answer. I’m afraid I can't describe him very- accurately. I wa:icrvous nd frightened, anyhow, and this—this apparition made it worse.He was tall and I think he wore a mask, but I'm not sure.*. Maybe hejust wore a hat and it shaded his•a Ji That’s all I seem to remember tall man in a long robe, but 1heard him speak to Mr. Ethridge. • ’'Question. Wliat did you hear him>ay ?t"Answer. He called him by name,then he said something about a woman. It sounded as if he skid, ‘1won’t let you take her away from me.’ Something like that."Question. You are positive thalhe said something about a woman? “Answer. Yes. I remember thatdistinctly. Then he shot Mr. Eth ridge. He shot him twice, before hecould fall. He kept shooting at him as he lay on the ground. It was horrible. I thought I must be dreamingor that it was a scene on a dark stage played in a spotlight and I wa?away out at the front of the house— it seemed so unreal. What happenednext is pretty confused. I was deathlyafraid and I didn’t dare cry out or move for £a*)Phie assassin might haveconfederates near by and they’d kill me, too. I just stood there staringand shaking. I saw the man kneelover Mr. Ethridge’s body, but his back was to me. I presume he was fixingthat cross of twigs. Then he got up, passed out of the glare of the headlights, and turned them off. Aftertliat, of course, I couldn’t see what he did."Question. What did you do? "Answer. I stood still. I didn’tdare move. By and by I saw another light, across tlig road in the pinegrove, so I dropped to my knees andcrouched in the weeds and bushes. I stayed there until the other car passedme—the car with one headlight. Then I got up and ran home. I suppose Iran home: anyhow, 1 found myselfthere with all my doors locked.”Vogel laid aside the document fromwhich he had been reading and said: "That, gentlemen, is the gist ofMrs. Holmes’s sworn statement, which she made voluntarily. Rather extraordinary, eh?” “Do you believe it?” somebody inquired.“Absolutely I Chief Lopez and I questioned her carefully and we failedto shake her on any point. What's more, we examined the roadside whenshe claimed she hid, and we found an old glove which had lain there farsome time. It was her glove. Sheshowed tu the mate to it at her house.” “Well, I don’t believe a word ofitl" one of the local newspaper men declared. “I talked to her the nextmorning — I asked her a thousandquestions—and she didn’t tell me any such story. It sounds altogether tootheatrical. People don't happen along country roads after midnight just intime to see murders committed in the glare of automobile headlights. Whydidn’t she spill this sooner?” “She says the talk about the secretorder frightened her.” "She’s a common drunk; she’s eccentric and utterly unreliable. I knowall about her.” "Indeed?" Vogel grinned sarcastically. "Then you probably know who she really is. You know her>tage name." His listeners pricked up their ears, but he forestalled theirquestions by saying: "I’m making you boys a present of a big story thatyou weren’t smart enough to get foryourselves. How many of you remember a grand-opera singer by thename of Maria di Nardi? Not many. She was before your time. But Iremember her and you can look her up. She lost her voice right at theheight of her career and dropped outof sight; was forgotten. One of the tragedies of the profession. She’s liv ing in Westland and her name is— Mary Holmes! Oh, you don't have to take my word for itl You cantalk to her as much as you please. Break down her story if you can. It’smore than I’ve been able to do.” ' "But wait!” another man queried, eagerly. "What about the one-eyedautomobile and the fellow in the robe? Have you got him?” "1Vogel smiled again, this time com placently. "Don't ask me to tell youeverything I know. I’m giving youthis story because the Ethridge case is being tried in the newspapers andoecause you boys have worked hardon it. I’m treating you squarely and Iexpect square treatment in return. Understand? All right! Make the most ofwhat you’ve got and—maybe I’ll haveanother story for you tomorrow. Possibly this evening.” With these wordsthe speaker opened the door to an inner office and called Mrs. Holmes.When she appeared the newspaper men eyed her in astonishment, for shewas amazingly changed. She was no . longer the unlovely creature some ofthem had seen and all of them had written about; she was a quite imposing middle-aged woman. Her hair nolonger hung in greasy snarls, it was soft and clean and smoothly combed;her body had shape, and a good looking street dress lent pleasing linesto it; there were silk hose and high- hccled shoes upon her feet. More astonishing, than this, however, was the alteration in the woman herself. Sheentered the room with her head up and with a poise, a carriage that only the>tige can teach; in her bearing wasa dignity tffat brought the reporters to their feet and kept them standinguntil Vogel iiad introduced her and tad given her a chair.This was Mary Holmes’s hour and die made the most of it. She took atremendous satisfaction out of the evi dent embarrassment of these youngmen. They had Maligned her and she hated them for it, but she concealed *her feelings behind an air of modestyand simplicity which was anything but genuine. She would have enjoyednothing more than to turn the vials of her wrath upon them, to blisterthem with her scorn, but, realizingthat through them she was talking toa vast audience, she rose to the occasion as she had risen to other roles. Vogel had cleverly stagc-manag<xfher appearance and she had rehearsedherself well. The result was all and more than either of them had anticipated—she scored a triumph. She was acting, of course, but what a part toplay and what an audience to play to I An audience consisting of America,the world! The world tliat had for- golten her! Well, it would rememberher now and it would throb andsympathize with her story. That story, to her mind, was infinitely moredramatic, infinitely more important, tlian the story of the Ethridge murder* Continued Next Issue eee aaa*.-ol Ar;... :»edoHlThe funeral of Mrs. Frank Moakeswho died in St. Joseph’s Hospital,London, on Monday of last weak,waa held on Wednesday afternoonfrom her late residence.
