He washed the blood from the rock on the hillside. He had eluded the in- spector and myself in the chase in the darkness. Now I had found him with Southley working upon the en- gine in the power-house--and yet they had seemed merely to be ex- amining it, rather than at work, I remembered that neither of them had held tools in their hands, or even seemed to have any tools with them, I was suddenly deeply suspicious of this man Robin, I remembered that he had volunteered his services to the negro Sam, and that looked as if he had business of his own at Southley Downs. His excuse for coming seemed somewhat tr d TRA well, He was too perfect an example of a certain type of squatter. He had an English accent, and 1 had been watching all through my visit a Southley Downs for the intrusion some one with such an accent, Roderick, of whom ° Alexander Pierce had told me, who evidently had not yet put in his appearance, had lived long years in England. The names were somewhat similar, too; and I had heard before of that peculiar trait of human nature that influences a man against giving up his own name altogether, The alias he adopts is usually somewhat simi- lar to his own name, I made a feint of going back to a book. Southley seemed relieved. He left me in a moment, and joined his daughter in the den. Vilas had gone to his room, and lost as it was among the many, breathless corridors of the great house, I could imagine it was the last place in the world he had really wished to go. drew my chair up to the great dormer win- dow that overlooked the power-house. And I didn't see one word of the type beneath my eyes. The hill was swept by moonbeams. There was a silver path across the face of the swamp, leaping ever to my eyes. I waited possibly five min- utes. And then I saw Robin emerge from the power-house. up, Besides, he looked his part too Brother, "Clearing The Trail" A Famous Arizona Sheriff Acting Like A Tenderfoot to Win Back the Ranch of His --SEE THIS BIG HIT AT THE New Martin THEATRE Thursday -- Friday -- Saturday Added Attractions. COMEDY - 2nd Episode of "Tarzan The Mighty" Dr, Long shadowing Robin For a long minute he waited in the shadows, and my suspicions leap- ed to a certainty, Then I saw him steal away toward the edge of the marsh. A minute more and I was out in the darkness too, trying to shadow him, I tried to keep to the less open part of the hillside and yet not lose sight of my quarry, He walked slowly at first, and I short- ened the distance between wus to one hundred yards. As yet I had no reason for thinking he had seen me. 'His form was perfectly visible in the moonlight, but I had kept mostly in the shadow, But all at once he increased his pace, I walked faster too. My quarry broke into a slow trot, It was im- possible that I could run behind him and still keep out of sight, So I made a furious dash toward him at top speed, For a moment I thought I would overtake him hefore he saw me; but when I had covered half the distance between us he began really to run, He straightened out his long legs, and fairly seemed to fly--straight for the marsh at the bottom of the hill, "Stop, Robin!" Bb shouted at him, "Stop at once!" He only increased his speed. I never saw a man run faster, I was in good condition, and I gave him chance to elude me that he had in the best I had. He hadn't the our previous encounter carlier in the evening. The moon was out now. He splashed across a pond of shallow water at the base of the hill. Possibly he thought I would not follow him here. ut he was to be disappointed. No water was deep enough to throw me off now. I was going to find out his con- nection with the crime if I had to follow him to the mainland across the swamp. But at once he splashed out of 4 Starting THURSDAY Daily Matinee 2.30 p,m, the pond and circled back up the hill. I was soaked to the knees, but 1 gave it no thought. Of course he couldn't run so fast up the stee slope, nor could 1. An brea was coming in great sobs before 1 approached the house. e swung about the great struc- ture, and I dipped far enough to one side to watch. I saw him slip into the postern door that lead to the library, i Twenty seconds later I entered the same room. Evidently he. hoped to clude me in the maze of rooms, But he had forgotten one thing. His boots--the same boots that had left the telltale track beside the rock --were splashed with mud and water. They made a trail across the rugs and hardwood floor of the: library. And they turned into the den, Once more the drama of Southley Downs had shifted to this little room, Once more I stood at its threshold. And I had a curious sense of portentious developments that would come to pass within its doors. Southley and Josephine were standing up near the same table that had figured in the drama of the previous night. "Close the door," Southley told me. "But where is that man Robin? I saw him rush in here. And I know he has something to do with this mystery." "Robin? You mean the man who elped me in the power-house?" A large blue porticre hung at the side of the den, and out of the cor- ner of my eye I saw it waver. No wind blew it. And then looking straight, 1 saw the ends of white fingers that clutched its folds. "Mr. Southley, the man is behind that curtain now!" Then the man behind the curtain answered me himself, "Oh, old Doc Long!" came a fa- milar once. "You're the most per. sistent devil |" There is only one person in the world that calls me "old Doc Long." The hope of hearing his voice about this cursed house of the Southleys was dead in my breast, It was the voice of the man I had longed for, whose keen brain and able -hands would so quickly bring light where there was shadow, He pulled the curtain aside, the gray eyes laughed at me. I saw through the disguise at last, and mar- veled at my blindness heretofore, Of course it was no one but my old and trusted friend, that world-famous detective and fisherman, Alexander Pierce. After we had got through pound- ing one another on the Back and roaring out what a pleasure it was to meet again I hegan to put a few questions to the great detective. And all the time I marveled at his dis- guise, "But why didn't you let me in on it?" I demanded just a little hurt, I saw laughter in his eyes, but his face remained grave, "You were doing so well without me, doc," he replied. "And the way you chased me through the mud --it was rich, my lad! What a per- sistent devil you are! Miss South- ley--if ever this young man gets on your trail, you'll never be able to shake him off," "Miss Southley already knows that," I commented, "And look at my trouser legs--my best dinner clothes. You are a trifle wet yours self.' "These heautiful boots protected me." Then he grew serious. "Be- sides, Long--among your many tal- ents I'm afraid you can't claim to be an actor, Just a look--a word-- might have given me away. It was much betted that you devote your attention to the excellent work In- spector Freeman has been doing. And as to the reason why I came in disguise--I don't believe the time is quite ripe to divulge it. I assure you that it served my ends very well." (To be continued) PETTERSINS AND ANDERSSONS ARE GROWING SCARCE Habit of Adding "Son" to Father's Name Dying Out in Sweden (By Canadian Press) Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. 13--The names of Andersson and Pettersson, the commonest in Sweden, are gra- dually decreasing in number, accord- ing to statistics issued by the city of Stockholm, and numerous persons born into these two great tribes are changing their names into more in- dividual ones. In 1927 the number of Anderssons in olm had de- creased by over 1000, and the Pett- | erssons and Karlssons by 200. iy ancient Swedish Fustom was or a young man to adopt his father's Christian name and add "son" to it, so that Erik, the son of Karl, was called Erik Karlsson, his Son Nils-- Nils Eriksson, and so on, but during the past 75 years the surnames have been retained, irrespective of the father's Christian name. The decline of the "son" termina- tion has been encouraged by the State authorities to avoid FRENCH BOY WINS ORATORY CONTEST ONTARIO LAD THIRD Rene Ponthier, Paris Takes Cup in Splendid Competi- tion; First Result a Tie a -- Washington, Oct. 17.--Canada's cup emblematiic of supremacy In the 1928 international oratorical contest goes to France as a result of the award by five judges, in Washington Saturday night, of the highest place to Rene Pomthieu of Paris, France's representative in the contest. Jose de Tomasco, Ar- gentina, was second; Willlam Fox, Jr. of London, Ontario, Canada, was third and John Moore, Ken- tucky, U.S.A., was fourth. * The auditorium was crammed for the occasion, and the great crowd sang "'O Canada" lustily to greet Fox as he arose to speak on Canada's future. The result of the first ballot was a tie between Can- ada, France and Argentina. Each had an equal number of points. The judges, four professors from Amer- ican universities and one from the Paris School of Psychology, retired to consider points further, and fin- ally submitted a second set of bal- lots, which gave first to France, second to Argentina and third to Canada. French Boy on "Liberty" of Liberty," was the subject of Rene Ponthieu, representative of France at the contest, He quoted Montesquieu, to define liberty as "being able to do what you should wish to do, and in not being com- pelled to do fhat you should not wish to do." M. Ponthieu conclud- ed by quoting Michelet: "If one could heap up whatever each na- tion has given in blood, in gold and in efforts of all kinds for those things which only serve the world, the pyramid of France would go mounting sky-high." At the top of the pyramid, M, Ponthleu said, he would place the torch of Lib- erty, "whose flame, intermingling with that of American liberty, would {llumine the world, pointing out to humanity the way to pro- gress, peace and fraternity." Argentinian's Speech De Tomasco took for his tople "The Confraternity of the Amer- fcas."" The greatness of the Unit- ed States Imposed certain duties on her, principally in South Am- erica, he said, Some Latin-Ameri- can countries had not kept pace with the stride of the United States, which should lend her weaker neighbors a helping hand, "Do not do this if it requires more of the rifles of your soldiers than of the good-will of your civilization," he said. In the Argentine, the situation in Nicaragua had 'provoked an evident uneasiness, a moral anxi- ety and had given rise to unfavor- able interpretations," de Tomasco sald, Argentinfans had a great ad- miration and affection for the United States, and believed the North American countries would some day be united in friendship with the Latin-American countries in a great federation of all Ameri- can countries, dedicated to peace and progress, On Canada's Future Imperial association is Canada's only rational and possible choice of three possible political courses in the future, said William Fox Jr., of London, Ont,, Canada's repre- sentative, He dismissed two other alternatives in a word, Annexa- tion with the United States, he said, would cut the Dominion adrift from past tradition and legitimate heirship to a share in the glories of the Empire, Complete inde- pendence would mean the with. drawal of the strength and pres- tige of Great Britain. Imperial as- sociation, alone, he said, was ra- tional, "The spectacle of a world-wide empire," he went on, "sympathetic and cohesive in all its parts, cor- related one to another, not as col- onies to a motherland, but as sov- ereign States in an imperial unity, presents to us grandeur which can- not be expressed fin words, It must grow as the love grows be- tween the mother and the child; the bonds thet bind must be senti- mental. Thus, and thus only, can this great work, which must make for the peace of mankind, be ac- complished and this accomplished is the great work of the century upon whose threshold we now stand.

It would seem that appointments to certain vacancies are being held up largely to decide on the prin- ciple of opening seats in Parlia- ment to reward the faithful. Four Quebec members of Par- liament have aspirations in other fields and are not exactly back- ward In expressing them, while the number may not he thus limited, At least two want to be senators and their claims are conceded to be very strong. These are Messrs. Tobin and Prevost, Two more seek to be judges. Mr. Denis, of Joliette, thinks it is about time that he ascended the Bench, while Mr, Mercier, of St. Henry, considers that the way he presided over the customs inquiry demonstrated his judicial talents, If he were appointed, father and son would be on the same hench, The principle to be decided is whether it is advisable to open seats in Parliament by appointing members. It {is not commonly done and in instances like North and Halifax, it proved disastrous, Negotiations concerning the re- turn of Saskatchewan and Alberta resources as well as those of Mani- toba, have to be embarked upon after Mr. King returns and prelim- Essex, Drummond and Arthabaska |/ inary consultation given to the ses- sion of Parliament three months hence.
