DESERTER FROM NAVY : ESCAPES FROM CELL IN WINCHESTER JAIL WINCHESTER, Ind., May 7. John McCarthy;, an alleged deserter from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station at Chicago, who was captured in Union City, made a daring and successful effort, for liberty, Wednesday morning. He had been hammering the Yale lock most of the morning in his efforts to breaji it, until the marshal vvtnt to him and told him to stop, or he would be locked in the dark inner cell. The officer, however, had hardly left the ceil, when the prisoner succeededJn pulling a piece of iron pipe into his cell with his chair and with the pipe twisted the lock off. He then ran for the railroad yards, and, when last seen, was on a freight train headt d w est. , Hofd Alleged Burglar. : Ed Burr, night policeman, and two other men Wednesday night overtook and arrested a strange man four miles

building, east of the . city, makes it necessary to build an addition, or the

state department of public instruction

school commission, and, by so doing those wishing to take a high school course will be compelled to attend t-chool in Winchester. The plans for the improvement, of the McKinley pchool included an up-to-date gymnasium.

PART SIX "You were always a noble woman, Anna," said the old man, puffing at his clstrGttc She had risen but she fell back again with a little cry of pain. "I must finish," she said. "When my term was over I set myself to get the diary and letters which, if sent to the Russian government, would procure my friend's release. . I knew that my husband had come to England. After months of searching I discovefed where he was. I knew that he still had the diary, for when I was in Siberia I had a letter from him once, re

proaching me and quoting some passages from its pages. Yet I was sure that, with his revengeful nature, he would never give it to me of his own free will. I must get it for myself. With this object I engaged an agent from a private detective firm, who entered my husband's house as a secretary it was your Becond secretary, Sergius, the one who left you so hurriedly. He found that papers were kept in the cupboard, and he got an impression of the key. He would not ero farther. He furnished me with a

plan of the house, and he told me that in the forenoon the study was always empty as the secretary was employed up here. So at last I took my courage in both hands, and I came down to get the papers for myself. I succeeded, but at what a cost! "I had just taken the papers and was locking the cupboard, when the young man seized me. I had seen him already that morning. He had met me on the road, and I had asked him to tell me where Professor Coram lived, not knowing that he was in his cmploy." "Exactly! Exactly!" said Holmes. "The secretary came back, and told his employer of the woman he had met. Then in his last breath, he tried to send a message that it was ,she that she whom he had just dis-

I cussed with him." "You must let me speak," said the .woman, in an imperative voice, and

her face contracted as if in pain. "When he had fallen I rushed from the room, chose the wrong door, and found myself in my husband's room. He spoke of giving me up. I showed him that if he did so, his life was in my hands. If he gave me to the law, I could give him to the Brotherhood. It was not that I wished to live for my sake, but it was that I desired to accomplish my purpose. He knew that I would do what I said that his own late was involved in mine. For that reason, and for no other, he shielded me. He thrust me into that dark hiding-place a relic of old days, known only to himself. He took his meals in his own room, and so was able to give me part of his food. SJ was agreed that when the police left the house 1 should slip away by night and come back no more. But in some way you have read our plans." She tore from the bosom of her dress a small packet. "These are my last words," said she, "here is the packet which will save Alexis. I confide it to your honor and to your love of justice. Take it! You will deliver it at the Russian embassy. Now, I have done my duty and " "Stop her.!" cried Holmes. He had bounded across the room, and had wrenched a small phial from her band. "Too late!" she said, sinking back on the bed. "Too late! I took the poison before I left my hiding-place. My head swims! 1 am going! I charge you, sir, to remember the packet." "A simple case, and yet, in some ways, an instructive one." Holmes remarked, as we traveled back to town. "It hinged from the outset upon the pinc-nez. But for the fortunate chance of the dying man have seized these, I am not sure that we could ever have reached our solution. It was clear to me, from the strength of the glasses, that the wearer must have been very blind and helpless when deprived of them. When you as"ked me to believe that she walked along a narrow strip of grass without once making a false step, I remarked, aa you may remember, that it was a noteworthy performance. In my mind

DENOMINATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF FRIENDS WILL BE DISCUSSED BY FIVE YEAR BOARDS

I set it down as an impossible performance, save in the unlikely case that she bad a second pair of glasses. I was forced, therefore, to seriously

consider the hypothesis that she bad

remained witnin tne nouse. un perceiving the similarity of the two corridors, it became clear that she might very easily have made such a mistake, and, in that case, it was evident that she must have entered the Professor's room-. 1 was keenly on the alert, therefore, for whatever would bear out this supposition, and I examined the room narrowly for anything in the shape of a hiding place. The carpet seemed continuous and firmly nailed, so I dismissed the idea of a trap door. There might well be a recess behind the books. As you are aware, such devices are common in old libraries. I observed that books were piled on the floor at all other points, but that one book case was left clear. This, then, might be the door. I could see no marks to guide me. but the carpet

was of a dun color, which lends itself,

very well to examination. I therefore

i smoked a great number of those ex

cellent, cigarettes, and I dropped the ash all over the space in front of the suspected bookcase. It was a simple trick, but exceedingly effective. 1 then went downstairs, and I ascertained in your presence, Watson, without your peiceiveing the drift of my remarks, that Professor Coram's consumption of food had increased as one would suspect when he is supplying a second person. We then ascended to the room again, when," by upsetting the cigarette box, I obtained a very excellent view of the. floor, and was able to see quite clearly, from the traces upon the cigarette ash, that the prisoner had in our absence, come out from her hiding place. Well, Hopkins, here we are at Charing Cross, and I congratulate you on having brought your case to a successful conclusion. You are going to headquarters, no doubt. I think Watson, you and I will drive together to the Russian Embassy." (Monday The Adventure of the Second Stain.)

Circuit Court

Some Coal Facts! BITUMINOUS (Soft Coal) : Output at present is running 6,500,000 tons for the whole United States. We shall need at least 500,000,000 tons this year. That means the weekly production must average 10,000,000 tons. We are running behind at the rate of 5,000,000 tons every week. ANTHRACITE (Hard Coal) : There is need, taking the year as a whole, for all the hard coal mines can produce. Their limit has about been reached. Working steadily twelve months, the entire year, we can only expect about 90,000,000 net tons, and only a littla more than half of this domestic coal. They must produce steadily this spring and summer, or acute shortage next winter is inevitable. It is plain, then, if your requirements are to be met, the mines must operate this spring and summer when mining conditions are best; transportation least liable to interference by weather; retail conditions most economical. Otherwise, shortage next fall and winter and high prices. We advise that you buy your coal now of Hackman-Klehfoth Co.
