Ethylene was used as an anaes- thesia for the first time in Bismarck at the St. Alexius hospital Tuesday afternoon, according to an announce- ment made by Sister M. Boniface. gas was administered as an anesthetic to a patient for a major operation which was performed by a Bismarck surgeon. Though ethylene is being used in many eastern hospitals; hospitals in only two other North. Dakota cities thave used it. Those hospitals are at Grand Forks and Fargo. Ethylene is said by local physicians to have all the anaesthetic powers of ether but at the same time leaves no after effects as ether does. Ethylene is administered at the local hospital with a safety gas oxy- gen apparatus, which was installed in the loca} institution about a week ago. The apparatus cleanses the gas of grease, graphite, and oil in a water bath and eliminates the possibility of static discharges and explosions. The apparatus also has a forcing valve with which the flow of the ethylene may be regulated. The apparatus is portable, and, ‘without tanks and the stand, weighs from 17 to 24 pounds, ~: | |Mexican-Public Estate me | 18 Worth. $90,000,000 Mexico City, Feb. 14—(7)}—Official figures show that the Mexican gov- ernment’ owns ; y worth about $90,000,000.

FLORENCE BORNER. Baldwin, N. D. Editor, Tribune: T believe it. would be 9 good idea to restore the two-cent bounty on gophers. We could also retain the present method of distributing poisoned oats to the farmers. It is a well known’ fact that the time to get the gopher is as early in the spring as possible. Right at the ‘tithe when the farmer is busy getting his crop. : So, on this account, many’ farmers have no time to attend to poisoning gophers until after they have become much more numerous than they are early in the spring. By restoring the gopher bounty, the young boys of the farms would be encouraged to catch or shoot the gophers, While the sum offered as a bounty would not be large, it would be suf- ficient to cause the destruction of | leigh many of the pests which otherwise th would not be destroyed. Arrangements should be made so county commissioners could reimburse those who deserve the bounty. FLORENCE BORNER.

THIS HAS HAPPENED RUTH LESTER, secretary, finds the dead body of her em- ployer, “HANDSOME HARRY” RDEN, promoter of dubious stock companies, sprawled on ‘ the floor of his office. Rath is engaged to JACK HAYWARD, whose office is just across the narrow airshaft from Borden's. Petrified with fear, Ruth re- calls that Saturday morning Jack had threatened Borden. Ruth runs to Jack’s office and, finding him out, searches for his pistol which he had purchased at the same time he had bought an identical weapon for her to keep in her desk. His gun is gone! When Jack returns, he accom- panies her to Borden's suite, and while he phones for the police Ruth, fearing Jack shot Borden across the airshaft, goes to close Borden’s window. It is already closed! Ruth tells CHIEF OF. DE- TECTIVES McMANN of -Bor- den’s ‘two Saturday - morning visitors: RITA DUBOIS, night club dancer, and MRS. BOR- DEN, his wife and mother of his two children, who called for her monthly alimony check. Mrs. Borden comes in during the questioningy McMann accuses her of the murder, but she ly. denies it. Ruth tells McMann of the pistol in her desk but when he looks for it, it, too, is gone! McMann finds the tiny. footprints of a pigeon in dried blood on the window ledge and on the floor near the body, which indicates the window was open when Borden was shot. Ruth’s fear for Jack increas McMann questions MORAN, the elevator boy, who is afraid Ruth killed apbiogeteed dant told him it wasn’t ‘Handsome Harry’ that had hurt her lip, said she’d banged it on the door, like I told you. And she said if Mr. Hayward would- n’t believe her, she’d take back the |Promise she’d made him.” xe * McMann’s pencil tapped an omin- ous accompaniment to the slow, pain- ful beating of Ruth’s heart. Finally she could stand that slow tapping no longer. She stepped toward the desk. “Please, Mr, McMann! I ask you to believe me when I say that I didn’t see Mr. Borden when I returned to my office to look for my savings bank book. The door between the of- fices was closed, and Mr. Borden was talking over the telephone.” McMann looked up at her from under beetling brows. “And I’m to believe, too, that you spent from four, be a minutes looking for your bank ook 2” “I did! I had filed it in Mr. Bor- stead eH in the pe use a personal papers. I looked everywhere before it merred to me that I had done so. I tell you, I didn’t see Mr. Borden, that my lip was bruised against the door when I swung it open. I was in a hurry to rejoin Mr. Hayward—” “Moran, your car was down at the main floor all the time you were waiting for Miss Lester, wasn’t it? You couldn’t have heard a shot if oné had been fired on the seventh floor? Or did you hear one?” “I. didn’t hear no shot!” Micky Moran denied emphatically. Aren’t you forgetting, McMann, that Mrs. Borden has already told of seeing Mr. Borden alive at 20 min- utes of two?” Jack Hayward inter- rupted, his voice quivering with an- ger: “Pm not forgetting anything, Hayward—thankst” MeMann grin- ned crookedly. “If you want to know, here are three things I’m not for- getting: First, that you had given Miss Lester a gun to protect herself against Borden’s advances, if he ever took @ fancy to your girl. 1, that everything points to the conclu- sion that Mis Lester's changed ap- pearance had just the effect on ‘Handsome Harry’ Borden you had feared it would. Third, that $500 in cash—the exact amount of Mrs. Bor- den’s separation allowance—is miss- ing from Borden’s body. Get my joint ?”” “I’m afraid I don’t!” Jack retort- ed furiously, _ “All right, if I have to spell it out in words of one syllable! Miss Les- ter comes back for her bank book. Borden is alone, hears her return, comes out, tries to kiss her, does kiss her so hard that her lip is bruised. She struggles with him, manages to reach her desk, gets out her gun, holds him off with it, until he backs into his. private. offige-—” ~~ : tt * Jack Hayward laughed abruptly, sarcastically. “I was wondering how pee were going to get him back in ere! “Is that so?” McMann almost snarled, “Any man’ll back up if a gun's leveled at his heart! She gets ‘im in here and thinks she’s safe, he starts. for-her again, knowing she’s afraid of the gun, doesn’t think she'll have the nerve to shoot it. He starts after her again and she lets him have it. She sticks the gun in the pocket of her fur coat and-tears out of the office, crying and pant- ing for breath. You meet her at the elevator. She forcibly restrains you from pounding on Borden’s door, to make him let you. in to beat him up cause she knows he’s already NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIV “She come right back up.

A choked scream checked his too-realistic pan- tomime of the falling of a mortally wound ef “stupid, 2” he gasped, as he righted himself, without a glance at dead man whose last movements he believed he had imitated. “Moran! At what time did Hayward return to his office?” “He didn’t—so far as I know!” Micky Moran retorted. ‘| McMann was nonplused only for a moment. His inting finger aimed itself at Otto Ffluger, who had been leaning, silent and sullen, against the wail during the entire time he had been in the room. “You, there, tow-head! You run the car nearest Hayward’s office, don’t you? What time Saturday afternoon did you bring him up?” Ruth did not scream again. Now that the inevitable had happened strength and courage came to her from somewhere, possibly from the thought that whatever Jack had done, he had done for love of her..
