known as yet. However, the provisions of the law as recently passed, set down clearly and unmistakably, the fines and other penalties to be applied to owners who fail to obtain their certificates of title. The law goes into effect Sept. 1. In order to , have their certificates of
title by that time, owners must file applications here not later than Aug. 28. No period of grace will be allowed after September 1. Prosecutor Beckett when questioned
regarding the law Tuesday said hs had received no further word from tha office of the secretary of state concerning the law. Penalties provided for violation of the law are:
A fine of $5 to $1,000 is provided for operating a motor vehicle without a
certificate of title. Certificate Accompanies Car
In case of the sale of a vehicle, the
new owner must present the certifi
cate of title which has been turned
over to him from the farmer owner, to the secretary of state within five
days after the car has been purchased. The secretary of state will then issue a new certificate of title. If the car has been purchased outside the state.
he must present a bill of sale with
his application.
Owners of cars having possession of
a machine without an engine number,! are subject to a -fine of $200 to $500 or imprisonment of 30 to 180 days. This provision of the law went into effect June 30.

applied to have certain numbers

container to hold the certificate of

Too many people think this is an unnecessary . formality. For such, the
following extract from the law i quoted:
"Certificates of registration shall be enclosed in a suitable, container to be
furnished by the secretary of state for a fee of 50 cents, with transportation
charges prepaid. Said container to
be placed in full sight n the driver's compartment of the motor vehicle, or
in plain sight, fixed to a motorcycle, or carried in a tool box or other convenient receptacle attached to a motorcycle. "Persons failing to comply with the requirements set forth relative to the

He told detectives he married for the first time at Greenville, O., thirtytwo years ago, his bride being MattiJ R. Wills of Greenville. They became the parents of six children, he said.

" 'No, no, "hot the sole, not the sole, my dear young lady,' he cried. 'Your duty would be, as I am sure your good sense would suggest, to obey any little commands my wife might give, provided always that they were such commands as a lady might with propriety obey. You see no difficulty, heh?' " 'I should be happy to make myself useful.' "'Quite so. In dress now, for ex
ample. We are faddy people, you
know faddy but kind-hearted. If you were asked to wear any dress which we might give you, you would not object to our little whim. Heh? " 'No,' said I, considerably astonished at his words. " 'Or to sit here, or sit there, that would not be offensive to you?' " 'Oh, no. " 'Or to cut your hair quite short
before you come to us?' "I could hardly believe my ears. As you may observe, Mr. Holmes; my hair is somewhat luxuriant, and of a peculiar tint of chestnut. It has been
considered artistic I could not dream of sacrificing it in this off-hand fashion. " 'I am afraid that that is quite impossible,' said I. He had been watching me eagerly out of his small eyes, and I could see a shadow pass over his face as I spoke. " 'I am afraid that it is quite es
sential,' said he. 'It is a little fancy of my wife's and ladies' fancies, you
know, madam, ladies' fancies must be
consulted. And so you wont cut
your hair?' " 'No, sir, I really could not,' I ans wered firmly. "'Ah, very well; then that quit'

"The manageress had sat all thi-5 1 while busy with her papers without a word to either of us. but she glanced at me now with so much annoyance upon her face that I could not help suspecting that she had lost a handsome commission through my refusal. " 'Do you desire your name to be kept upon the books?' she asked. " 'If you please. Miss Stoper.'
Well, really, it seems rather useless, since you refuse the most ex
cellent offers in this fashion,' said she sharply. 'You can hardly expect us to exert ourselves to find another such opening for you. Good-day to you, Miss Hunter.' She struck a gong upon the table, and I was shown out. by the page. "Well, Mr. Holmes, when I got back to my lodgings and found little enough
in the cupboard, and two or three bilU upon the table, I began to ask myself whether I had not done a very foolish thing. After all, if these people had
strange fads, and expected obedience
on the most extraordinary matters,
they were at least ready to pay for their eccentricity. Very few governesses in England are getting 100 a year. Besides, what use was my hair to me? Many people are improved by wearing it short, and perhaps I should be among the number. Next day 1 was inclined to think that I had made a mistake, and by the day after I was sure of it. I had almost overcome my pride, so far as to go back to the agency and inquire whether
the place was still open, when I received this letter from the gentleman himself. I have it here, and I will
read it to you: " 'The Copper Beeches, " 'Near Winchester
'Dear Miss Hunter Miss Stoper
has very kindly given me your address
ana i write irom here to ask you
whether you have reconsidered your
decision. My wife is very anxious that you should come, for she has been
much attracted by my description of you. We are willing to give 30 a
quarter, or 120 a year, so as to rec
ompense you for any little inconvenl
ence which our fads may cause you. They are not very axacting after aH.
My wife is fond of a particular shade
of electric blue, and would like you to
wear such a dress indoors in the morning. You need not, however, go to the expense of purchasine one. as
we have one belonging to my dear
aaugnter Alice (now in Philadelphia)
which, I should think, fit you very
well. Then, as to sitting here or there, or amusing yourself in any manner indicated, that need cause you no inconvenience. As regards your hair, it is no doubt a pity, especially as I could not help remarking its beauty during our short interview, but I am afraid that I must remain firm upon
this point, and I only hope that the increased salary may recompense you for the loss. Your duties, as far as the child is concerned, are very light. Now do 'try to come, and I shall meet you with the dog-cart at Winchester. Let me know your train. "'Yours faithfully, "'JEPHRO RUCASTLE.' "That is the letter ' which I have
just received, Mr. JHoimes, and my mind is made up that I will accept it. I thought, however, that before
taking the final step I should like to submit the whole matter to your con
sideration."
Well, Miss Hunter, if your mind is
made up, that settles the question," said Holmes.
"But you would not advise me to
refuse?"
"I confess that it is not the situation which I should like to see a sis
ter of mine apply for." "What is the meaning of it all, Mr. Holmes?'"
"Ah, I have no data. I cannot tell.
Perhaps you have yourself formed
some opinion?"
"Well, there seems to me to be
only one possible solution. Mr. Rucastle seemed to be a very kind, goodnatured man. Is it not possible that his wife is a lunatic, that he desires
to keep the matter quiet for fear she should be taken to an asylum, and that he humors her fancies in every way in order to prevent an outbreak?" "That is a possible solution in fact, as matters stand, it is the most probable one. But, in any case, it
does not seem to be a nice household for a young lady." "But the money, Mr. Holmes, the money!" "Well, yes, of course, the pay is good too good. That is what makes me uneasy. Why should they give you 120 pounds a year, when they
could have their pick for 40 pounds.' There must be' some strong reason
behind."
"I thought that if I told you the circumstances you would understand afterward if I wanted your help. I
fnm raaav davs are past.'
It was not very long before my friend's prediction was fulfilled. A fortnight went by, during which I frequently found my thoughts turning in her direction, and wondering what strange side-alley of human experience this lonely woman had strayed into. The unusual salary, the curious conditions, the light duties, all pointed
to something abnormal, though wheth
er a fad or a Dlot. or whether tne man
were a philanthropist or a villain, it was quite beyond my powers to determine. As to Holmes, I observed that ho sat freduently for half an hour on

Holmes was setting down to one of those all-night chemical researches
which he frequently indulged m when I would leave him stooping over a retort and a testing tube at night, and find him in the same position when I came down to breakfast in the morn
