(They even make whole cotton cloths now that an expert can scarcely tell from linen.) As weavers grow more adept and importers grow more careless we are growing more careful. Our experts sub- mit them to microscopic examination to prove their texture and worth and truth. And importing in such quatities as we do (more than any wholesaler on the Pacific Coast) brings you rare advantages, not only in price, but in ex- clusive patterns. See some of these heautiful cloths to-morrow, how natural the flowers and leaves shine out of the weave. It's wonderful when you think not a bit of color has been used to shade them. It's Thanksgiving linen time, a time we have prepared especially for, for we know you are thinking linens now as you think them at no other time of the year. ~We want you to think of S - iy Order by Mail Christmas Next Month.

She, too, believed that he had been murdered, but there could be no avenging of the crime, for not the slightest clew was ever discov- ered to lead the detectives beyond the dilapidated hat The years rolled on and Mrs. Davids and the friends who had aided her gave up the hopeless search. Every avenue of investigation had been ex- hausted, every possible theory had been worked out, and the devoted sister at last reconclled herseif to the harsh conclusion that she would never learn how her brother came to his death nor who accomplished it, for she was firm in the conviction that he met foul play when walking alone among the foothills, engrossed in the constant plannings of his Napoleonic brain. Keefer had made no disposition of his property interests. There was some real estate in San Mateo County and other property, valued altogether at about $3000. But in addition to this he had many thousands of shares in the Calaveras Mining Company, which he had promoted with such picturesque- ness of method and of which he was the manager. This stock, however, be- came involved in litigation with A. B, Thompson, whom Keefer had induced te join him in the venture. A few weeks ago Mrs. Davids l.p—.‘ plied to the Superior Court for letters of administration on the estate of her | brother. Seven years had elapsed, and, as the law provides, she asked to have him declared legally dead. The case is pending now, and as if a mes- sage from the dead, the report is re- ceived that Keefer is alive and well, spending his days in a quiet home in one of the suburbs of Paris.

We knew you would want to see them. We have made it our business to bring them to San Francisco for you. The name is suggestive of the beauty of the patterns and harmony of the colorings. They are made more “worthful” in the sturdiness of the threads that have been used and the closeness and durabil- ity of the weave.

Brilliant speakers.® Mrs. Sarah C. Bigler, known among Mormons as “Saint Sarah,” has just died at Plymouth, Utah, at the age of ninety-eight. She was one of the earliest converts of Joseph Smith and was one of his closest friends until his death. Twice, in the early and trou- blous days of Mormonism, she helped to save the founder's life. | ster, RANSACK HOUSE ‘With the daring of veterans in crime, two boys yesterday afternoon perpe- trated one of the most sensational burglaries that have recently engaged the attention of the Mission police. The scene of their operations was at the residence of Charles Evers, a team- 309 Shotwell street, within a stone’s throw of the Seventeenth- street police station. Jewelry worth $100 was stolen. The thieves were seen by persons living in the rear of the building and Detectives Graham and Fitzgerald have an excellent descrip- tion of the culprits. Shortly after the noon hour yester- day Mrs. Evers left home on a trip down town. About am hour later two women living immediately in the rear saw two boys mounting a ladder in the rear of the Evers residence, These and plaster scattered over the room. A gaping hole in the ceiling, two hatchets on the bed and a burning candle on a dresser told the story. An examination of the bureau drawers disclosed the loss of two gold watches, a chain and locket and stick pin. The police were immediately notified. The detectives found the burglars had entered the blind attic of the house through an outside trapdoor, which was reached with the ladder. A hole was chopped through the bedroom ceil- ing and the house was then ransacked. Every drawer was examined, but only the valuables were taken. During a search of the china closet with a can- dle the shelf paper was set on fire and considerably burned. In their haste the thieves overlooked $30 hidden in a su- gar bowl. 3 The boys are described as being about 14 years of age. They were clad in brown overalls and light shirts. DESPERATE GIRL’S NIAGARA FALLS, Nov. 5—Miss Carrie Wahl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Wahl of this city, is believed to have made a sensational attempt at suicide in the Niagara River this af- ternoon. Her rescue was thrilling in the extreme. She now lies in Memorial spital in a precarious condition. She refuses to make a statement to the Coroner and even her cwn mother has been unable to extract from her a rea- son for her act. Miss Wahl was employed in the of- fice of the Natural Food Company. After the noon hour she left her work saying that she did nct feel well. An hour later she was discovered floating down the river, several hundred yards above the brink of the American Falls. Some boys on Willow Island heard her PLANS ARE FOILED jscreams and saw her clutch wildly at | the rocks of the old Wing dam at the | head of the island. They called for |help and Arthur Brady and George Haney, who were working near at hand, responded. At the risk of their lives the men made their way out on the rocks and waited until the woman came near them. Both men were in imminent danger of being swept into the rapids and over the falls, but they pluckily made their way forward and finally Haney succeeded in grasping the young woman by the hand. With Brady's help he pulled her upon the rocks and the two men then began the task of getting the now unconscious woman back to the shore. The rocks were slippery and both | placed in an a ! utomobile and taken to | Memorial Hospital. The girl's coat and hat were found at the foot of Fourth street, where she had evidently | placed them before her desperate at- !tempt at suicide. ———— The Story of a Penny.
