While the plan of Collins and Griffith offered peace, a government for Ireland on the same basis as cther comini pire and po: self-rule as of oth B shown in the history ish fered only continued strife without hope of success. Perhaps the death of Michael Collins will sober thou- of followers of DeValera and} may bring order out of chaos, If it does it cannot be doubted that such a patriot as Collins would have willed his own death. sah A BIG TASK The commission appointed by; Governor Nestos to survey the regulatory laws now in force in the, state and to make recommendations | for a reclassification by the legisla— ture can do a good work if it will simplify regulation, bring it under the head of responsible, elective of-| ficials and decrease the expense of| regulation which is accomplished in each case ag a result of a tax, direct or indirect, on the people. The majority of the commission is composed of Fargo people, but it is hoped that sense of local pride} will not deter them from recom- mendations that the legislature put; all regulatory work where it be-: longs—at the state capital, under|| the supervision of some responsible elective officer and make the regu- of the British Em-j bility for increasing; commonwealth, | the fanaticism of DeValera has of-; | immediate vicinity, without affect-| ing their neighbors.

This is 2,000,000 | tons less than in the first seven) months of 1913. The obvious meaning of this is that the bulk of German foreign trade is about an eighth less than before he war.

In his address to congress the President has. asked for legislation which will place aliens directly un- der the protection of the federal government. It is high time ‘that | we had such legislation.

There is some educational work being conducted from the state cap-| ital, especially the farm institute work under the Commissioner of) was Agriculture and Labor, which may} well be made a part of the duties of the State Agricultural College at Fargo, and it is highly important; that the regulatory work now being done at that educational institution mand that other nations fulfill in their relations with us if the oc- casion should arise. \ The President’s recommendation led forth by the massacre at | Herrin, Ill, in which aliens were ‘killed. The foreign governments} of which these aliens were subjects have very properly called the at- tention of the American government | to the murder of their citizens, and after a rain. “Them were the days!” have asked that proper steps be taken to bring the criminals to jus- tice.

Nancy. ‘My!’igasped Nick, : And that'was all they could say. But something else was happening far, far away. i The Fairy Queen was so worried about the long absence of. the Twins she had called a mecting of her coun- cilors. There was Mr. Rubadub, and Mr. Tingaling, and Mr. Scribble- Scratch, and Mr. Sprinkle-Blow, and} all the other good friends of Nancy's} and Nick's, “Fairies,” said the Queen. “l am sure something has hapened to the Twins. Dear only knows what mis- chief lap-Doodle has done with that} and, We'll have to do something.” Scarcely had ‘she spoken when something fell at ene Fairy Queen’s feet. “Why, it’s the magic Green Shoes} the Twins wore!” she cried. “Now I'm- sure sotrething has happened. Quick all of you! be off and leave no stone unturned on the earth or in Fairyland until you find those dear children.” (To Be Continued. (Copyright, 192, NEA Service.)

Fi ful: BY W. H. PORTERFIELD How many of you folks know that one movie factory or studio, if you prefer, employs regularly 350 car- penters? I didn't know it and I'm might glad that. I decided to come out here to Hollywood and learn something of the “activities of the inarticulate creators of the movie picture. Inarticulate and non-pictorial, be- cause they’ve publicity men, hitherto, to either write their life stories or put their pictures in the papers. And the reason I tale it, for this sad remissness on the part of the publicity men is because said. “in- articulate ones” have just gone along working their cight hours a day, sawing and plumbing and hammer- ing and painting and sculpting and doing all the other things needful to make the movies a success, realizing that it .woud be exceedingly bad form for a $7-a-day carpenter to in- dulge in a brainstorm when he chanced to hammer, his thumb or step on a rusty nail! So I was mighty glad, when Pub- licity Director Arch Reeve of the Lasky studios asked his assistant, Mr. Allen, to show me all about be- hind the scenes and let me sec what makes the wheels go round. Here is onc institution, which has maybe 50 or 60 or even 75 stars, mear-stars, and part-stars of the scrgen on its published lists, and 4500 other men and women on its]. pay-roll, making the pictures which ten million folks see every day! a ‘~ Many More ‘And while this studio is the big- gest, there are 109 others big and little, all told in southern Califor- lua, cach with a quota of the “in-, articulate” artisans, running at about a 30. to 1 ratio. * And: while these artisans do not cat so much possibly, nor maybe drink so much as some of the sereen- ing stars have been rumored to, ru be y eat more, regularly and that e insurance; risk’ on their lives is a better bet, on the average, than one on the stars as a whole.

The chief dif- ference is that in movieland the sub- stitution is admitted. I wasn’t so much interested in the wardrobes. But I suppose some-ot you would be. The rows upon rows of “period” constumes are simply bewildering. But, most of all, I was interested in the apparently perfect order and! system prevailing. throughout this great factory. No ‘undue: noise, no loud talking, no swearing,*nor even particular emphasis. I had always imagined the director of a picture as raging about the lot with th a cigar between clenched teeth as he tore his long hair and busted a gallus-strap every other minute. ‘1 ‘saw William de Mille directing a picture, and I’ll swear that he didn’t speak a word above a parlor conversational tone all the time L listened. Maybe this de Mille is an exception to the rule, but he’s sure some silent worker. Yet he seemed to get results everytime. Over in a corner a few highly colored and highly costumed actors and actresses chatted, waiting their cues. They looked absurb as all stugé people do off the stage, and as I looked I wondered what in the world is the attraction that the stage holds for so many of us or for the folk of the stage. I guess its the age-old passion to “dress up” in ma’s clothes and g0 walking down the street as if we weregrown up.

DR. R, H. BISHOP Lately I have been receiving a number of letters asking how sun- burn, tan and,,freckles may be re- moved easily and inexpensively. Personally, I like to see freckles and tan, for they are signs of out- decor activity and consequently good health, : ygBut if you must try to remove them, do not use unknown brands of skin creams and lotions. Some of these cosmetics contain sub- stances harmful te the skin, —* Cosmetics, as ordinarily used, tend to clog the pores or irritate the skin and thus are likely. to interfere with the normal healthy action of that organ. ‘9 Instead of hiding blemishes of the skin it is much better to remove these blemishes by improving the texture of the skin, A simple rem- edy is bathing the face in a lotion of lime water. Each application not only. improves the skin but aids greatly in bringing aobut a perma- nent’ change. For cleaning: the skin of the face or forehead and removing dried, dead skin particles, a simple cold, cream’ made of the following ma- terials is recommendew: One ounce of spermaccti, one ounce of white wax, five ounces of oil of sweet almonds, one and a halt ounces of rosewater,and 30 grains of chlorate of potash. As the old, skin, is seas radually car- For in;| tied away by this method, unsightly blemishes such as red blotches, tan places, “liverspots” and sunburn will disappear gradually and harm- lessly.

BY CONDO CUSTtTEN TO RSON oF YouR ASS To osseeve \ Lydia E, Pinkham’s | | (Continued fromm our last issue.) “Was it the collar you were look- ing for in the cupboard?” said Bill eagerly. i Sradeae: ‘Why no collar?’ 1 said. For some reason Cayley con- sidered it, necessary to hide all |IMark’s clothes; not just the suit, | put everything which he was wear— ling, or supposed to: be wearing, at the time of the murder. But he hadn't ‘hidden the collar. Why? Had he left it out by mistake? So I looked in the cupboard, It wasn’t ithere. Had he left it out on pur- pose? If so, why?—and where was lit? Naturally I began to say to my- self, ‘Where have I seen a collar \“That’s him,” said Parsons, point- ing. \ Everybody looked at Antony. “That was about five minutes afterward?” “About that, 3'T.” “Did anybody come out of the house before this gentleman's ar- rival?” “No, sir, That is to say I didn’t see ’em.” Stevens followed. She gave her evidence much ag she had given it to the inspector. Nothing new was brought out by her examination. Then came Blsie. As the reporters scribbled cown what she had over- lately? A collar all by itself?” And I remembered—what,. Bill?” and shook his head. 4Don’t asx me, Tony. I can’t— By Jove!” He threw up his head. “In the basket in the office bed- room!” _ “Exactly.” |’ “But.is that the one?” “The one that goes with the rest tof the clothes? I don’t know. Where else can it be? But if 30, why send the collar quite casually to the wash, in the ordinary way, and take immense trouble to hide everything else? Why, why, why?” ’ Bill bit hard at his pipe, but | could think of nothing to say. “Anyhow,” said Antony, getting up restlessly, “I’m certain of one thing. Mark knew on the Monday that Robert was coming here.” 4 CHAPTER XVIII. * The coroner, having made a few commonplace remarks as to. the terrible nature of the tragedy which ‘they had come ‘to: investigate that afternoon, proceeded to outline the case to the jury. Antony did not expect to learn much from the evidence—he knew | the facts of the case so well by now {—but he wondered if. Inspector Bill frowned heavily to himself, ; heard, they added in brackets “Sen- sation” for the first time that after- noon. “How soon after you had heard this did the shot come?” asked the coroner, “Almost at once, sir.” “Were you still in the hall?” “Oh, no, sir. I was just outside Mrs. Stevens’, room. The house- keeper, sir.” “You didn’t think of going back to ‘the hall to see what had hap- pened?” “Oh, no, sir. I just went in to Mrs. Stevens, and she said, ‘Oh, what was that? frightened like. And I said, ‘That was in the house, Mrs, Stevens, that was.’ Just like something going off, it was.” “Thank you,” said the coroner. There was another emotional dis~ turbance in the room as Cayley went into the witness-box; not 1 “Sensation” this time, but an eager and, as it seemed to Antony, sympa- thetic interest. Now they were get- ting to grips with the drama. He gave his evidence carefully, unemotionaly — the lies with the same slow deliberation as the truth. Antony watched him intently, won- dering what it was about him which had this odd sort of attractiveness. | Birch had dveloped any new the- ories. If so, they would appear in the coroner’s examination, for the coroner would certainly have been coached by the police ag to the im- portant facts to be extracted from each witness. Bill was the first to be put through it. “Now, about this letter, Mr. Bev- erley?” he: was asked when his chief evidence was over. “Did you | see it at all?” “J didn’t see the actual writing. I saw the back of it. Mark was ‘holding it up when he told us about his brother.” “You don’t know what was in it, then?” Bill had a sudden shock. He had read the letter only that morning. He knew quite well what, was in it. But it wouldn’t do to admit this. And then, just ag he was ‘about to perjure himself, he” remembered? Antony had heard Cayley telling ; the Inspector. “I knew afterwards. I was told. But Mark didn’t read it out at breakfast.” “You gathered, however, that it was an unwelcome letter?” “Oh, yes!” “Would. you say that Mark was frightened by it?” 5 “Not frightened. Sort. of bitter— and resigned. Sort of ‘Oh, Lord, here we are again!’” There was a titter here and there. The coroner smiled, and. tried ‘to pretend that he hadn't. “Thank you, Mr. Beverley.” The next witness was summoned | by the name of Andrew Amos, and Antony looked up with. interest, wondering who he was. “He lives at the inner lodge,” whispered Bill to him. All that Amos had to say was that a stranger had passed by his lodge at a little before three that afternoon, and had spoken to him. He had seen the body and recog- nized it as the man. “What did he say?” For Antony, who knew that he was lying, and lying (as he believed) not for Mark’s sake but his own, yet could not help sharing some of that general sympathy with him. “Was Mark ever in possession of a revolver?” asked the coroner. “Not to my knowledge. I think I should have known if he had been.” “You were alone with him all that morning. Did he talk about this visit of Robert’s at all?” “J didn’t see very much of him in the morning. I was at work in my room, and outside, and so on. We lunched together and he talked of it then‘a little.” “In what terms?” “Well—” he hesitated, and then went on, “I can’t think of a better word than ‘peevishly.’” “You didn’t hear any conversa— tion between the brothers when they were in the office together?” “No. I happened to go into the library just after Mark had gone in, and I was there all the time.” “Wap the library door open?” “Oh, yes.” “Did you'see or hear the last wit- ness at all?” “No." “would you call Mark a hasty- tempered man?” Cayley considered this carefully before answering. “Hasty tempered, yes,” he said. “But not violent tempered.” “Was he fairly athletic? Active and quick?” “Active and quick, yes. Not par- ticularly strong.” “Yes.'. . . One question more. Was Mark in the habit of carrying any considerable sum of money about with him?” “Yes. He always had one £100 note on him, and perhaps ten or twenty pounds as well.” “Thank you, Mr. Cayley.” Cayley went back heavily to his seat, “Damn it,” said Antony to Limself, “why do I like the fellow?” “Antony Gillingham!” Again ‘the eager interest of the “Is this right for The Red House?’ or something like that, sir.” “What did you say?” “I said, ‘This is.The Red House. Who do you want to see?’ He was a bit rough-looking, you know, sir, and. I didn’t know what he was doing there.” - “Well?” % “Well, sir, he said, ‘Is Mister Mark Ablett at home?” Jt doesn’t sound much put like that, sir, but I didn’t care about the way he said it. So I got in front of him like, and said, ‘What do you want, eh?” and he gave a sort of chuckle and said, ‘I want to see my dear brother ‘Mark.’” / “Well, then I took a closer look at him, and I see that p'raps he might be his brother, so I said, ‘If you'll follow the drive, sir, you’ll come to the house. Of course I can’t say if Mr. Ablett’s at home.’ And he gave a sort ef nasty laugh again, and said, ‘Fine place Mister Mark Ab- | lett’s got here. Plenty of money to spend, eh?» Well, then I had an- other look at him, but before I ' could make up my mind, he laughed and went on. That’s all I can tell \ you, sir.” Andrew Amos stepped down and | moved away to the- back of the room, nor did Antony take his eyes off him until he was assured that + Amos intended to remain there un- til the inquest was over. “Who’s Amos talking to now?” he whispered to Bill. “Parsons. One of the gardeners. He’s at the outside lodge on the Stanton road. They’re all here to— aay: Sort of holiday fpr ’em.” “T wonder.if he’s giving evidence, too,” thought Antony. He was, He followed Amos. He | had been at work on the lawn in \front of the house, and liad seen Robert Ablett arrive. He didn’t hear, the shot—not to notice. He wap a little hard of hearing. He | hat seen a gentleman arrive about | five minutes after Mr. Robert. | asked the coroner. | Parsons looked round. slowly. | Antony caught his eye and smiled. “Can you see him in court now?”, room could be felt. Who was this stranger who had got mixed up in the business so mysteriously? Antony smiled at Bill and stepped up to give his evidence. He explained how he came to be staying at the “George” at Wood- ham, how he had heard that the Red House was in the neighborhood, how he had walked over to see his friend Beverley, and had arrived just after the tragedy. Thinking it over afterward he wag fairly cer- tain that he had heard the shot, but it had not made any impression on him at the time. “You and the Jast witness reached the french windows together and found them shut?” “Yes.” “You pushed them in and came to the body. Of course you had no idea whose body it was?” “No.” “Did Mr. Cayley say anything?” “He turned the body over, just 30 as to see. the face, and when he saw it, he said, ‘Thank God.’” Again the reporters wrote “Sen- sation.” “Did you understand what he meant by that?” “T asked him who it was, and he said that it was Robert Ablett.
