HE young Russells had come to Oakville in the procession of eager workers which the recent establishment of a great factory had brought there. They were very young, indeed, and fresh from the city. Indeed, it was the first time in her life that Peach Russell had ever set foot in a small country town. She found a keen difference from what she had been used to. “But I like it, Billy; I really do,” she told her husband. “It's so quiet and “I'm sure we can save lots of . Aud do juva know what I'm thinking?"” “No; what?” returned Billy. He was continually being astonished by the wisdom of Peach’s little blond pate. She was only a confectionery salesgirl when he married her, as delectable and un- substantial seemingly as a pink French cream, but she was making a wonderful wife. Billy was a very good sort of young fellow himself, steady and grave and honest, but he would have told you frankly that he “wasn’t a marker to Peach.” And so he thought now. “I've been thinking that I wish we had a _real home,” said Peach. “You know, Billy, a little house where I could learn to cook and do things like that. It's nice here at Mrs. Killen's, but it costs so much. I'm sure we could live cheaper in our own home. And if we're ever going to have a home we want to establish it while we're young.” “You're right, Peachie,” agreed Billy. We'll look us up a house.” One March Saturday when they had half a day’s leisure they went forth to look for a house. They had gathered a few facts to guide them, but they were as ignorant as ever were a pair of young birds attempting to bujld their first nest. Not that Saturday did they find what they wanted, and perhaps they never Would have found it at all if it had not been for Mr. Kling, the kindly real estate man. As it was, the instant they saw the house they knew they must haIv: it. was gray and small and compact like a bumblebee’s nest, only ndmer Billy nor Peach had ever seen a bum- blebee's nest, so they could not draw that comparison. Within it had just the kind of rooms that a pair of young married people would delight in—a darling tiny kitchen and dining room, a sizable living room. a wee den to snug- gie down in cold Winter evenings. Up- stairs there were two bedrooms and a bath and two closets, all freshly papered and white painted. There was land enough about the little house for flow- ers and vegetables and a lawnmower. “I can just see you with your coat off pushing a lawnmower, while I set here on the porch darning your socks!” whis- pered Peach. “Oh, Billy, let's have it!” “It will take lots of saving and economy, Peachie,” said Billy. “But it will be fun to save and econ- omize? Tl be the best little saver and ;c‘z{\]?l:r’flmr you ever saw, Billy. Honest, What could Billy say to that ex that she should have tyhe house? X‘\::f: Duke smiled wryly. I forgot to say that Mrs. Duke was the woman who owned the house and ilved in it. She was very old, in Peach’s eyes, and she had never been anything “that was worth looking at, She "sniffed and cackled and sighed— she was just that kind of woman.

I hope you'll be good to my dear little house. I always wash the paint Spring and Fall with gasoline and water. Be careful about always taking hold of the doorknobs. And if you have rubber heels put on your shoes your floors will stay nice longer. And you must always lower the winder in the kitchen whep you bile meat. And then"—a heavy sniff—“there’s my bird- fes, my dear little wrens. -They come | every Spring and nest under the| veranda. How they’ll miss me! I hope you'll be good to them, mv desr. My If you'll ja.l lhwow them a few crumbs now and then. Iu's| a hard world for little birdies. I hope | you'll feed my wrens.” Peach nearly wept as she heard this. She promised everything, especially to | feed the wrens. She did not know what | wrens were. Almost the only birds | whose names she knew were the swan and the ostrich, and she had seen them | in the city parks. She made up her mind there and then that she would protect and care for Mrs. Duke's little birdies, even as Mrs, Duke herself would have done. Within a week Mrs. Duke was gone and the Russells were in the little gray house. They had nothing, being so newly married, to make a home out of aside from love and energy and high enthusiasm. But there was a really well stocked furniture and a second- hand shop both open to their patron- age. Perhaps Peach bought most at the second-hand shop. She found such bargains there and they cost so little. And Billy discovered that he was some- thing of a genius with hammer and | glue pot. . Such a good time as they had with their homemaking! Such adventures, such trials, which, however, always turned out to be joyful occasions. And Peach’s new cook book! What a mys- tery it was at first! But she had the sense not to attempt the impossible at first. And the first time she placed a simple little meal of baked macaroni and cheese before Billy he did not know that she had practiced upon it for days. One morning Peach was awakened by a great twittering about her open bedroom window. She opened her eyes. It was scarcely light, but she could see a little bird sitting on the window-sill looking in at her.* This was one of Mrs. Duke’s wrens. The friendly little creature! She meant to cultivate him. Next night when she went upstairs to bed she found the same little bird— or so she thought—sitting on the cord that held the electric light bulb before her little dressing table. Frightened, the bird flew down from the cord and went under the bed. It took both her and Billy and an hour’s work to get him successfully out of the window. Billy began to complain that the chirping of the birds kept him awake mornings when he should be sleeping. They aroused him as soon as it was dawn. “They make such an infernal racket, Peachie. I'd rather hear the old ele- vated. “They're not so musical as I thought wrens were,” admitted Peach. When one day she found a funny, messy nest built on the window-ledge of her bedroom she felt surprised. It pained her that Billy should tear the nest ruthlessly away. But the birds came right back. Billy tore that nest away seven times before he convinced the birds they were not wanted. But the birds did build in the bitter- sweet vine at the end of the porch and within the porch itself. They were in- creasingly noisy. And in no time at all the nests were full of young birds! One day Mrs. Ross came to sit on the porch with Peach., Mrs. Ross was eld- erly and agreeable and she had taken more than a neighborly interest in Peach. “Why don’t you rout out those dread- ful sparrows?” she asked. “They will simply drive you out of the house if yausdon't," “Sparrows!” gasped Peach. She listened, amazed, while Mrs. Ross gave her a learned dissertation on the sub- ject. “Sparrows!” she repeated. “I thought they were wrens!” “Come over to my house and I'll show f,?“ & wren,” replied Mrs. Ross, laugh- g. But it was not until, fascinated and charmed, Peach listened to the spon- taneous outburst of the tiny golden- throated prima donna in Mrs. Ross' birdhouse that she realized how she had been decelved. When she told Mrs. .l‘wss about Mrs. Duke's injunction to feed my wrens” the woman laughed merrily. “Myra Duke,” she said, “played a good joke on you. Probably she is laughing in her sleeve over it at this l:llfnute. Oh, yes, she knew the difference, And Tl tell you how I know. She didn't like me and she knew I loved the wrens. So she cultivated these pesky sparrows, thinking they would drive away the other birds. Get rid of the sparrows and the wrens will come, mark my_ words.” The young Russells acted on her ad- vice. They got rid of the sparrows. ‘Then the real wrens came. (The end.) (Copyright, 1928.) VISITATIONS MADE T0 MASONIC LODGES Grand Master Completes Calls on Half of Membership Groups. The half-way mark in the series of grand visitations of 1928 to the consti- tuent lodges of the local jurisdiction by the grand master of Masons in the Dis- trict, accompanied by the officers of the Grand Lodge, was passed last night, when the customary annual calls were made on Hope Lodge, No. 20, Alexander H. Miller, master; Trinity Lodge, No. 41, George E. Harris, master, and St. John's Lodge, No. 11, Clarence A. Chism, master, St. John's Lodge, chartered in 1845, and Hope Lodge, which received its charter in 1867, formed a contrast to Trinity Lodge, one uf the “babies” of the jurisdiction, which did not come into official being until 1924. Grand Master Gibbs praised the or- ganizations visited as the reports of the secretaries and treasurcrs, and his own observation, he said, proved that they had moved steadily ahead. The officers particularly deserved credit, he said, for the results that had been accomplished during the Masonic year ended Sep- tember 30. ' The visitations last evening were to Masonic Temple, 13th street and New York avenue. The next official call of the series is scheduled for Monday eve- ning, at 8 o'clock, to Albert Pike Ige, No. 36, meeting in Scottish Rite Cathe- dral, corner Third and E streets.

By the Assoclated Press. PHILADELPHIA, October 27.—Twn| lines of inquiry, one directed toward the activities of unit 2. 1, disbanded liquor raiding squad of the Police De-, partment, and the other aimed at the 000 in banks, held the attention today | of District Attorney Monaghan, who is directing the grand jury investigation of rum runners and police corruption. The acquittal by a jury last night of Charles. Cohen, formar police captain, who was charged with extorting money from saloonkeepers for protection, gave | the district attorney his first important setback since the inquiry started on August 20. Of the two score police ar- rested on similar charges, four are awaliting sentence. Dates for the trials of the others have not been set. Matthew Patterson, a Republican or- ganization ward leader, was jointly con- victed with Charles W. Schoenleber, a former police captain. é Declared Not Discouraged. Aldes of the district attorney said that he was not in the least discouraged vestigation would be continued with re- newed vigor. Frank de Rose, a patrolman, who was on trial jointly with Cohen, was dis- charged when the prosecution told the court it did not have sufficient evi- dence. Albert Long, a district detec- tive, who turned State’s evidence and testified that he had collected protec- tion money for Cohen and had received : fifi per cent split, is.at liberty under ail. Another Arrest Made. A few hours after the Common Pleas Court jury brought in its verdict in the Cohen case, county detectives arrested Charles C. Beckman on charges of per- jury. The charges grew out of alleged contradictions in his testimony before the grand jury and later at his trial before the Civil Service Commission. Beckman was suspended as head of the detective bureau when the grand Jjury declared him “unfit to hold public office” and after a trial before the Civil Service Commission he was dismissed from the service by Director of Public Safety Harry C. Davis. TAKOMA PRESENTS NEEDS FOR SCHOOL Citizens' Association Committee Tells Board of Education of Probable Requirements. The committee on schools of the Takoma Park Citizens' Association has advised the Board of Education of its probable school requirements as to land and buildings for the five-year period from July 1, 1930, to June 30, 1935, and after careful consideration o} the sub- Ject has forwarded Its recommenda- ons, which were unanimousiy ap- proved by the committee. The committee recommends that larger playground facilities be provided for the Takoma School, Cedar street and Piney Branch road, by the pur- chase of additional land, adjacenc to ihe present school site. The Whittier School, Fifth and Sheridan streets, will soon be over- crowded, according to the committee, and urges that uhe auditorium-gym- nasium and eight additional classrooms be provided wihin the five-year period. An eight-room school unit should be providea on the Kalmia road site. The securing of a site, preparation of plans and at least a portion of the building completed for a northern senfor nigh school, to be located north of Kennedy street and east of Rock Creck Park, should receive the con- sideration of the school board, as the committee does not favor the Iowa avenue-Upshur street site, now under consideradon, to be known as the Thecdore Koosevelt High School. The committee went on record last year as opposing this site, since it was felt at that time, as well as the present time, that a northern hign school should be located much farther north than the site now being considered. ‘The commiutee also recommends that as the first unit of the Paul Junior High School will undoubtedly become overcrowded before 1935, provision should be made for the erection of two ndg;uonal wings to this building. ne commitiee feels that of Education should conslde;me lhem‘:;l3 visability of locating an additional Junior high school in the Sixteenth Street Heights-Takoma Park section, as the superintendent of schools at a hear- ing last year referred to the need for an additional junior high school in the Sixtee s b ey nth Street Heighis-1asoma Paik | ELECTION BOARD HIT BY GRAND JURY ORDER All but One Member Listed for Ousting After Special Bal- lot Inquiry.

Dr. Cavanaugh is called in to help ~with the identification. ~The only thing by which the body can be identified {is a patch of scalp with some hair attached. Dr. Cavansugh takes this home with him. (Continued From Yesterday's Star.) CHAPTER XIL R. CAVANAUGH motioned his visitor to a chair, disregarding the tempestuous manner of his entrance, and waited until Don had flung himself into it. “I don't believe I sald 1 had found anything,” he corrected mildly. “No, but—I understood——"" “That _there was some news in which you might be ipterec’ed. As a matter of fact, it is possible to say as yet whether even that really concerns you. However, on the fact of it, it scemed worth discussing.” “What is it you have found?” From Don’s dry throat the words emerged as little more than a hoarse whisper. “Not I, I've merely been asked to inquire into it a bit—and, as I told you, I am still in the dark. Have you read the evening papers?” “I haven’t looked at a paper for a week. I won't read the cursed things, with my name sticking cut in headlines all over the place!” “You have not heard, then, that a body, burned beyond recognition by the action of a grass fire, has been found on the slope of El Cerrito, above the marsh.” Dr. Cavanaugh's voice was studiously conversational. He might have been mentioning nothing more gnlxl)ortant than the finding of a golf all. “L don't care who or what they've fount Don exploded, “So long as it isn't Shelia!” Don twisted his hands nervously in his lap. There was the tension of long- continued strain behind the irascibility in his voice. At first glance he looked noticeably thinner than on his previous visit; but a careful observer would have noted that the effect was due not so much to actual loss of weight as'to the lines which gave his features a drawn look and to the dark smudges under his _eyes. “Language is an absurdly ambiguous instrument of communication,” the doctor meditated, completely ignoring Don’s agitation. “For example, that last sentence of yours. On the face of it, it might mean that you are indiffer- ent to all else but Sheila’s welfare and her possible danger—or it might mean that you hoped above all things that Sheila would not be found. Naturally, I assume that the first interpretation is the correct one.” “I don’t know what I meant!” Don's hand was flung out in a gesture of angry impatience. “I don't feel much i like entering on a discussion of gram- “Oh, but it sometimes matters quite a lot—quite a lot"—the doctor mur- mured. “Well, I'm not in «» mood to choose my words very carefully. Suppose Sheila never shows up—simply drops out of sight altogether. I'd still be legally tied to her, wouldn't I? Unless——" A faint gleam of eagerness shone in Don’s hol- low eyes—'‘Unless I could get a divorce on grounds of desertion. Do you think I could?” 1 “No doubt. But that’s not the par- ticular bridge we are crossing at the moment.” Dr. Cavanaugh ruthlessly pulled him back. i “Well, then, suppose she came back— (with all this turmoil there’s been in the papers. I'd be in a sweet position then, wouldn't I? Things would be as bad as before—no, a hundred times worse, because the one thing I sut my neck into the noose to secure, decency and dignity would be gone. What a life!” His lips twisted in what was al- most a grimace. “I wish I'd been blind |and deaf before I ever met that woman!” Dr. Cavanaugh listened calmly to this jerky, spasmodic outburst, his face as expressionless as that of an image of Buddha. He waited without interrup- tion until Don relapsed into a sueoce as abrupt as his cpeceh. “There’s still another possibiltly,” he sald then. “A cutting of all Gordian knots. I don't say that it is more than a possibility. But I wouldn't be too sure, if I were you, that the activities of our friends, the police, as outlined in_tonight's paper can be disregarded.” Vith an obvious effort at self-control the young man forced his hands to jstop their nervous clenching and un- clenching and le tightly closed in his lap. Only the involuntary twitching of a muscle at the corner of his eyes be- trayed an agitation beyond the power of his will to conceal. “I don't understand what you're driving at,” he said in a low, breathless voice. “You sald the body they found in the marsh couldn’t be identified.” “You came here not long ago and asked me to help you,” Dr. Cavanaugh went on, as if Ellsworth had not spoken. “But the positions are reversed —I am now about to ask you to help me. I said that the body I mentioned was unrecoguizable. It was—except for a tiny patch of scalp.” Without rais- ing its tone the doctor's voice took on a new emphasis. “That body belonged to a woman about 40 years of age. She patronized an expensive beauty parlor, where she had recently had what I believe is called a marcel. She was in the habit of using black narcisse per- fume. She was fair of skin with brown eyes and vivid color that accompany this particular pigmentation. Her hair, naturally red, was darkened to auburn by the use of henna, and was worn long—in fact, rather surprisingly in this day, it had never been cut. It was thick and luxuriant, and she took an extreme pride in it. So much for what the microscope tells us. “From measurements taken of the body itself —Camberwell of the identifi- cation bureau was kind enough to sup- ply me with the figures over the tele- phone (I have not seen it myself)— we are safe in saying that this woman of expensive tastes, which she was able to gratify and a somewhat overwhelm- ing consciousness of her personal ap- pearance was rather tall—5 feet 7 inches. ~Naturally, she would have been of the opulent, deep-bosomed type. But she kept herself trained down to the fashionable slenderness. The articulation of the bones, larly of the feet, indicate that she was trained in dancing. The formation of the roof of the mouth makes it prob- able that she was a er—though she had not taken her singing .very seriously of late, as stains on the teeth show her to have been an excessive smoker of strong cigarettes. Does all this convey anything to you?” The face in the:chair o{)posne might have been carved out of ivory—yellow, white, with burnfout coals for eyes. Don cleared his throat and run the tip of his tongue across dry lips. “You mean—it's Sheila,” his voice was a rasping whisper. “I mean it was some oae who at least bore a general resemblance to Mrs. Ellsworth,” Dr. Cavanaugh amended imperturbably. “But there is a way of finding out whether we are dealing with a resemblance or identity. Under the microscope the cell structure of the hair is as individual as the whorls that make up the pattern of finger prints. I have the hair of the woman who was found in the marsh. Will you bring me for comparison a hair be- longing to Mrs. Ellsworth—from her brushes, her gown—any place where you can be sure the hair was hers?
