Trefethen, executive of city trict No. 4. ‘Trefethen has under way in his district, which comprises| mn Anne hill, a plan whereby folks on Queen Anne hill continue to take a neighborly interest in the boys from district during their course of training, and after they to France. “Let us not,” says Trefethen, “give our boys a ‘hurrah’ they depart, and then forget about them. Let’s give @ rousing send-off, by all means. But let us then keep Ptouch with them. Let us organize a system by which esidents of their home communities, even tho unknown per- ly to the soldiers, will write them frequent cheerful let- P1 detailing local happenings of the neighborhood and keep in touch with affairs at home. “These boys of ours are going out to fight OUR fight of them will never come back. As executive of my board, I have come to know many of our Queen Anne boys very well in the last few weeks.

He had jumped to conclusions that “What's her room number?” "956." “She' then not alongside of Masters, No; ehe did not ask for any particular location, so I gave her that one.” Armstrong took his departure. It was not many moments later be fore Lanagan had escaped the watchful eyes of Maggart and was before the door of room 956. The door suddenly swung open —and Ysobel Cadogan stood before | him. It would have been very ap- parent to a man less trained to in stantaneous appraisal than Lan- agen, that she was suppressing an extreme agitation. It will be recalled that Miss Cadogan had contributed two defi- nite phases, or points of interest, to the mystery of the Allison pearls during the original investl!- gation in Douglas’ office. She had was a couple near Miss Allison; and she had been deeply puzzled to account for Winkeppner’s conduct during that entire scene and his curt denial that he had seen such a couple.
