Thus the announcement of G. E. Krause, John Green and Oscar Harri, incorporators of Mt. Juneau Brewing Company, that plans have been perfected for such an enterprise is reasonable enough. That there is an opportunity in this community for the project is wellnigh universally admitted locally. There is sufficient de- mand to warrant such a plant as is contemplated by them. Its product ought to be manufactured at a cost that would permit the company to meet any competition from the States. It can avoid high freight rates on beer in glass and save thousands now being expended for transportation. Krause, Green and Harri are successful men. They have resided here many years and have been engaged in active enterprises all of that time. They have acquired substantial prop- erty interests. They have the confidence of their fellows. There is no reason why, united, they should not carry their latest undertaking through to a successful and profitable culmination.

BEGINNING A NEW ERA IN EDUCATION. SYNOPSIS: A peaceful Rotel in Bouthern France suddenly has be- come a madhouse—a stranger {s murdered, Jim Sundean s shot at in the dark. an abductor almost makes away with Sue Tally. Sue, Sundean, and the detective, David Lorn, believe it all is part of a plot to steal the token by wmeans of which Sue must claim her share of her father’'s millions, Then as Mar- cel, the porter. {s about to tell Sun= dean why he thinks Sue {s in danger Margel is murdered. The murderer escapes in the elevator, and the police suspect Sundean. al- though the murderer also winged him with a bullet.

He had been about to ‘ell me when he was shot. : Once during the proceedings the police searching the hotel returned, Iragging a fat and volubly protest- ng man with a long egg-like head and a tiny black mustache who turned out to be the cook, Paul. Otherwise they found no one. And once the commissaire ques- tioned Mrs. Byng at some length, since it developed that she was the first on the scene. Mrs. Byng insisted even at that moment in replying in French which seemed to be almost unip- telligible to them; at length they got her into English, and the up- shot of the thing was that she had seen no one. She had heard the shots, and the noise had wakened her from her after-lunch nap. She had put on a shawl and hur- ried out into the corridor and to- ‘ward the gallery running along the well of the lounge. She had come, in other words, directly along the path which the escaping murderer must have taken. And she had seen nothing. At the last I began to think they were going to drag us all to the police court; and I felt so dizzy that I didn’t much care. But they did finally leave without taking me along, which was incredible. It was true, of course, that they left a guard of several policemen and warned us all lgllngt trying to escape in a manner that was, as Sue remarked later, almost as con- clusive as arrest.

Here, I'll cut the meat for you.” She did, and was gone. But it oc- curred to me that Madame Grethe berself was quite capable of under- taking and executing just such a cold-blooded murder as I had wit- nessed. She had plenty of cold nerve and was, | suspected, funda- mentally an actress. Added to that, she had more brains in her little finger than Lovschiem had In his whole great hulking body. But there was no clue leading to her. And as to that, there was only Lovschiem’s presence and the tact that I suspected him of knowing the unidentified murdered man that led to him, It was just then that Lorn ar- rived. I was glad to see him. My head cleared, and things were bet- ter. He was very qulet. The fiery, quick-spoken, glittering-eyed man of the excited moments following the murder had again lapsed into this unobtrusive, toneless nonentity of a man. “NJOW then,” said Lorn. “Let's hear the whole story. -Had Marcel managed to tell you any- thing?” i “Yes. But not enough. He omly told me that some towels had been found the morning after the mur- der, and that the towels had been used, but were in a supposedly empty room. That Father Robart’s alibi was as false as his red beard Father Robart’s alibi wa: looks. And at the last that Sue Taly was in danger. I think it was her anger that made him talk at all t was just then that he was shot.” “Do you mean to say it was be- fore he'd managed to tell you what the danger was?” “Yes.” curiously at me. “Maybe I'd better not stay now. You look feverish— maybe that wound fs worse than théy think.” “I'ma all right. But we've got to do something about Sue. She’s wandering about the hotel any place —she’s with the mald now.

But she’s got too much courage for her own; good.” “You don’t do credit to Miss Tal- 1y’s Intelligence,” sald Lorn dryly. He was still watching me rather urfously, and I remembered that 'd called her Sue and had probably which he considered out of propor- ion. ! But it didn’t matter. “Get her,” 1 insisted. “Or I will I've been sitting here thinking hor- rors, and 1 don't like her to go about the place alone.” “A road {s never safer than after an accident has occurred,” sald Lorn sententiously. “However, it you in- leave immediately and never come]®ist—" back. “I don’t 'blame him,” I inter- Jected with feeling)—later, I say.
