F ‘ “THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER 6.00 hed 1873) IN YEAR 2500 We had a dream last night, that we had come back to earth in the year 2500. Well, you’d never have known the old place. The first thing we noticed was that there were no houses fastened to the ground. People in the year 2500 were living in enormous airships, with as many as 10 rooms inside. When the family tired of a location, it flew to another. No :trouble about trespassing, for all land was owned in common by all the people (through their government) in the year 2500.

A World War had been declared on rats and insects such as flies and mosquitoes. These had been exterminated finally by cress-breeding other insects that were their natural de- stroyers. Radio in the year 2500 had been perfected until a perfect receiving set was as small as a watch and carried by every one, enabling people to talk to any person anywhere at any time. The intellectuals, of course, had abandoned clumsy language and were exchanging thoughts by telepathy. At this point, the alarm clock began ringing.

There’s an old saying ,about forbidden fruit tasting the sweetest. ; 4 When whisky could be bought at 90 cents a quart, the! average family wouldn’t have it in the home. Now that the buying of whisky for beverage purposes is illegal, and its price so high that possession of it indicates the “pecuniary honorific” or ability to pay, the same average family seems to consider it a “cute” achievement to be able to serve a highball. As the popular song ran: “For when you get what you want, you don’t want it at all.” Tracing this deeper into psychology, you realize that the average individual is a philosophical anarchist at heart, and that he hates restrictions of any sort.

Only five‘ more shopping months until Christmas, ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton The next place the Twins came to in Rainbow Land was a funny one. It was quite as queer as any place they had seen since they entered the big rain-bow door. Nancy rubbed her eyes and Nick blinked hard. “Oho!” chuckled Mister Sky Bow. “What's the matter?” “It’'s—it’s those people,” said Nancy. What are they doing that for?” “Why, those are the Whirlies,” said the little fairy guide. “They whirl around like that until they get dizzy and then they stop. When the dizziness wears off they begin all over again.” Everywhere the Whirlies were turning around and around and every once in a while one of them would stop and stagger -and then fall on the ground. Right near Nancy a Whirlie | stopped ‘wiMling jand began to act so dizzy that Nancy caught him. “Oh, don’t!” he shouted. “Don’t | stop me!” es So Nancy let go, and instantly the Whirlie sat down with a taump. “Oh, it's so lévely!” j:hel, cried. “Everything is goirig ‘round and ‘round and ‘routid. Everything looks like streaks. It's better ‘than a merry-go-round. Ha, ha, ha! Who are you and what makes you so fat? You look as wide as two houses, cach of you. Now you're gone. No, there |you are again. And you're all streaky. My, my, my! What queer people!” “Silly,” said Mister Sky Bow. “It isn’t these children who are queer, it’s you. They aren't fat at all. It’s your dizzy head that makes them look so.” “Why so’they aren't,” declared the Whirlie, rubbing his eyes. “How do you do! Welcome Town! Would you liké to whirl | around and get all dizzy. I'll show you how. It’s loads of fun!” “No, thank you,” answered Nancy politely. “I'm not allowed. Besides it gives me a headache.” “Then q’ll have to whirl by my- self,” said the Whirlie, and he started all over again, (To Be Continued.) (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.) [7A Thought o- > 1.

Mr, and Mrs. Ellington are;rather strange. I would judge that! Harry Ellington had been a rounder before marriage and had not gotten over it yet, His wife, whom he called. “Ruth,” was, on the other hand, a delicate, fragile rather sullen—blond. During the conversation I *founa out that although Harry and Jack were of distinctly different disposi- itions and temperaments, brought up in different environments and ; they very different circumstances, jion that the sme old rooted opin- ion that when 2 woman was good she was very good indeed and when she was bad she was horrid, It seems strange to me that eveh since the war, men still hold such erroneous ideas of women. They yet do not realize that we are the same as they are, just aaueer little jum- ble of virtues and vices, They seem to want us always strong to others but always weak to themselves. If they only knew it, women are petty at times and un- selfish at others. They can be more tender than masculine imagination Henan *eonceive and quite as cruel as ven Rudyard Kipling declares they are, E estal y man puts his wife on a ped- nd is heartbroken if, through no fault of hers, she tutsbles off it. A place on a pedestal is very, djfficult to maintain and I am_ sure ‘every woman grows tired and wobbly up there, for reverence is a cold kind of worship, I know that I would rather waltz ‘away with a man who would call me a ridiculous creature in one bréath and kiss me while he laughed at my antics in another breath, It was rather interesting to watch Ruth Ellington’s face while we were talking for I could see that her hus- band had made her an angel too fair ‘and frai] for the cold winds of the world to blow upon. Then when he had found out that that was not the kind of a companion he wanted, he was hieing himself to, flowery fields and pastures new leaving poor Ruth very frigid and very miserable on her little pedestal with no woeshiper at all to bear her company. I wonder, gay little Marquise, if! you found out what a complex thing life is.

Matk Brendon, criminal investigator, has charge of the casq. é ag Jenny goes to live’ with her uncle, Bendigo Redmayne. Robert appears in the neighborhood and sends word +| to, Bendigo to come alone to his hid- ing place. Gidseppe Dotia, who works for Bendigo, takes his mas- ter to the meeting place, When Doria returna.to the nearby cave he finds that both men have disappear- ed. y Z Jenny marries Doria and they go to live in Htaly, where Penny's uncle, Albert , Redmayne,, ‘lives. Peter Ganns, famous Ameriean detective, assists Brendon’ in- tli . investiga- tions, Robert meets Brendon and shoots at him. Gangs suspects Doria and his wife ‘of treachery. NOW GO. ON WITH THE STORY “I cannot stop here,” he said when she had gone. “This is no life for a man, Jenny will probably remain with her uncle. She is fed up, as you say, with me. “I am: very unfor- tunate, Marco, for I have not in the least deserved to lose her affection.” He departed and Brendon joined Albert Redmayne, to find the old man had grown uneasy and fearful. “I am not happy, Brendon,” he said. “There is coming into my mind a cloud premonition that very dreadful disasters are going to happen to those I lové. When docs Ganns return?” “Soon after dark, Mr. Redmayne. Perhaps about nine o'clock we may expect him. Be, patient a littie longer.” “It has not happened to me to feel as I do today,” answered the book lover. “A sense of ill darkens my mind—a suspicion of finality, and Jenny shares it, Something is amiss. She has a presentiment that Jenny presently joined them and all entered the dining room together, ‘where tea was served. They sat long and the shadows were lengthening before the old man returned to his apartments. Then Giuseppe lit one of his Tuscan ci- gars, took his hat and left the house. “At last!” whispered Jenny, her face lighting in relief. “He will be gone for a good two hours now and we can talk.” “Not here, then,” Mark answered. “Let us go into the garden. Then I can see when the man comes back.” Presently Ernesto came and turn- ed on an electric bulb that hung over the scrolled iron work of the outer gate. Then they were alone again, and the woman threw off all shadow of reserve and restraint. “Thank God you can listen at last,” she said, then poured out a flood of entreaties. He was swept from every mental hold, drowned in the torrent of her petitions, baffled and bewildered at one moment, fill- ed with joy in the next. For an hour she spoke ,and detail- ed all she had been called upon :to endure. Brendon listened with a rapture that was almost incredulous; for she loved ‘him at last and desired nothing better than to come to him and forget the double tragedy that had ruined her young life. She was in his arms now and he sought to soothe her, sustain her and bring her mind to regard a fu- ture wherein peace, happiness and content might still be her portion. Another hour passed, the fireflies danced over their heads; sweet scents stole through the garden; lights twinkled from the house; on the lake in the silence that now fell between them they heard the gentle thud of a steamer’s propeller. Still Doria did not return and as a church clock struck the hour Jenny rose, She left him to seek Assunta; and he, hearing the steamer and guess- ing that Peter was at hand, hasten- ed to the house; Silence seemed to fill it, and, as he lifted his voice and called to Albert Redmayne, the noise on the water ceased. ..No answer reached Mark, and from the library he proceeded to the adjoining bed- room. It was empty and he hasten- ed out upon the veranda above the lake. But still the book lover did not appear, A long, black vessel with all lights out had anchored a hundred yards from the Villa ‘Pian- ezzo, ‘and now a boat put off from the craft of the lake police and pad- died to the steps below Brendon. . Peter, with four men, quickly landed and Brendon spoke. He could give no details, however, and Jenny furhished them, While she and Mark sat in the garden, guarding the front e heated from | dor and front gate, behind them to/ the house’ there had come a mess- age by boat for Mr. Redmayne, Assunta told them how an Italian who were married June 20 in Nushua, | had reached the steps in a. skiff la. have returned to New Salem from Bellagio; how he shad called where they will make their home. | her and broken the..evil news that Mr. Skogman, “irate of the | Signor Poggi was fallen dangerous- Holstein Dairy Circuit in left’ about a month ago £ burg, Ia., where he wai Miss Caroline Thorson. £ et Mr. and,Mrs, Tackaberry left Sat- urday for Seattle, Wasm., where they will visit for it two months.

How she did it I can easily guess.” Jenny's horrified eyes flamed at him and her face grew rosy. “How little you know!” she cried. “This is cruel, infamous! “Have I not suffered enough?” If I am frong I'll be the first own it, ma’am,” he answered. “But I am not wrong. What has hap- pened means that your husband will be back to supper. That’s but ten minutes to wait. Assunta, return to the kitchen. Ernesto, hide in the garden and lock the iron gate as soon as Doria has passed through ity § Silence ‘fell and in five minutes came the chink of the iron gate and the football of a mar without. Doria was singing his canzonet. He came straight into the room, stared about him at the assembled men, then fix- ed his eyes upon his wife. “What is this?” he cried in amaze- ment. “Game's up and you've lost,” an- swered Ganns. “You're a great crook! And your own vanity is all that’s beat you!” He turned quickly to the chief of police, who showed a warrant and spoke English. “Michael Pendean,” he said, “you are arrested for the murder of Rob- ert Redmayne and Bendigo Red- mayne.” ‘ “And add ‘Albert . Redmayne,’" growled Ganns. He leaped aside with amazing agility as he spoke, for the culprit had seized the weapon newr- est his hand and hurled a heavy salt-cellar from the table at Peter's head. The mass of glass crashed in- to an old Italian mirror behind Ganns and at the moment when all eyes instinctively followed the sound, Jenny’s husband dashed for the door. Like lightning he turned and was over the threshold before” hand could be lifted to stop him; but one in the room had watched and now he raised his revolver. This young officer—destined for future fame—had never taken his gyes off Doria and now he fired. He was quick but-another had been quicker, had seen his purpose and anticipat- ed his action. The bullet meant for Michael Pendean struck down his wife, for Jenny had leaped into the doorway dnd stopped it. She fell without a sound, where- upon the fugitive turned’ instantly, abandoned his flight, ran to her, knelt and ‘lifted her to his breast. He was harmless now, but he ené- braced a dead woman and the blood from her mouth, as he kissed her, covered his lips. He made no fur- ther fight and, knowing that she was dead, carried her to a couch, laid her gently down, then turned and stretched his. arms for the hand- cuffs, y A moment later Mark Brendon ert tered from the house. “Poggi sent no message and Albert Redmayne has not been seen at Bel- lagio,” he said, CHAPTER XVII The Methods of Peter Ganns Two men traveled together in the train de luxe from Milan: to Caljiz. Ganns wore a black band upon ‘the sleeve of his left arm; his compan- ion carried the marks of mourning in his face. It seemed that Brendon had incréaséd in age; his counten- ance looked ‘haggard; his very voice was older, Peter tried to distract the yowng- er man, who appeared to listen, though his mind was far away and his thoughts brooding upon a grave. After a pause and a long silence, while the train sped through the darkness of the Simplon tunnel, Peter retraced the steps by which he had been enabled to solye the riddle of the Redmaynes. “I went first to Penzance and de- voted several days to learning all possible particulars of the Pendean family. On examining Michael Pen- dean’s ancestry, as a preliminary top finding out everything remembered of Pendean himself, I at once made a-highly important discovery. Joseph Pendean, Michael’s father, was often in Italy on his pilchard business for the firm, and he married an Italian woman. She lived with her hueband at Penzance and bore him one son, and a daughter who died in infancy. The lady seems to have given cause for a certain amount of scandal, for her Latin temperament and lively ways did not commend themselves to the rather austere and religious circle in which her husband and his relations moved. Michael was de- voted to his mother and actompan- ied her frequently to Italy. On one of these occasions, when a. boy of seventeen or eighteen, he met with an accident to his ‘head; but I could glean no particulars of its na- tare. a \ i “When at last Mrs. Pendean die in Italy, her husband attended the funeral at Naples and returned to } England immediately afterward ‘with his son. The boy. was subsequently apprenticed to a dentist, having: ex- Pressed a wish to follow that pro- fession.
