Cha, TROUBLE RETURNS One afternoon more than weeks later Eugenie Frye called at the stable. Sam, who had just finished dress- ing to go out to tea, received the news with a frown of annoyance. She said to the maid: “Mrs. Frye? | What on earth does she want? I can't see her anyhow. Tell her I'm busy, Mary."” Mary hesitated. “I said that you ‘were just going ouf, Miss Bher- rill, but she said it was important. Eugenie collapsed Into a chair. “It's worse than pecu- liar,” she said. ‘It’s terrible.” “All right.” Sam shrugged re-| signedly. “Tell her I'll be down im- mediately.” There was something different about Eugenie Frye. Sam recog- nized that fact at once even though the change lay in nothing tangi- ble. The widow's manner had al-| tered. She seemed subdued—that | was it. Her air of bravado and of deflance to .... world was gone, as was her nervousness in Sam’s pres- | ence. She shook hands and apologized for her intrusion. “I know you are very busy, Miss Sherrill, and I ha to bother you. I can't help it, though, for just a few minutes. I —I need your help.” “My help?” Sam was mildly sur- two | 3] AMon | it altogether.” “How can he be out of it?” Eu- genie sp sharply and with blunt | earnestness. “I thought he said he had very little money.

They bought the pat- ent rights and are paying him a salary to help them get the thing ready for the market. It's all very surprising, but it seems to be true. Fourth says—" “Wait a minute!” Eugenie was on her feet, staring. “Wait a min- ute till I get this straight. You aren’t talking about that circuit breaker thing. It can't be that!” “But it is, Mrs. Frye” Sam shrugged. “Fourth never invented anything else, and I doubt if he ever will.” “I don’t believe it!” The widow seemed shaken by something very much like excited indignation.

H. U. Grimm said he carried the two trunks which the South- ern Pacific officials checked to Los Angeles, to the railroad station in Phoenix Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Judd’s Trunks Grimm said the trunks belonged to a Mrs. Judd and that Mrs. Judd accompanied him to the sta- tion and checked them. She told him, Grimm related, that she was going to Los Angeles to join her husband, who Grimm said he und- erstands is a physician. Mrs. Judd, Grimm said, was em- ployed as secretary to a physician at the Grunow Memorial Clinic of Phoenix. Mrs. Judd had lived in an apart- ment belonging to Grimm for about a month.

STEAMER HUMBOLDT, FAMOUS GOLD SHIP, IS SOLD FOR JUNK The 1amous old wooden Steam- ship Humboldt, which carricd more than $100,000,000 in gold dust and bullion while plying between Se- attle and Alaska, is to be scrapped. The vessel has been sold by the Los Angeles and San Francisco Navigation Company to the Cooper Iron and Metal Company of Ala- meda and will be burned for the copper, iron and steel in her huil. The Humboldt has been tied up in Alameda since last March, She was in the spotlight a long time as a result of the theft of a large quantity of gold booked for shipment to Seattle from Skag- way. The disappearance of 'the gold is still known as the “Humboldt 70ld robbery.” Capt. E. G. Baugh- man, master of the Humboldt for forty years, now commands the steamship Celilo.
