C. Knud sen, deputy secretary of the state banking department. His statement is made as a result of numerous Inquiries as to the re quirements of the credit bank. The procedure of organizing agri cultural credit associations must be taken up directly with the credit bank. After the association has met the requirements of the credit bank one copy of the articles of incorpor ation must be filed with the secre tary of state, and a second with the department of trade and commerce. Brick Yard Changes Hands and Will Reopen Humboldt, Neb., Nov. 25.—The Humboldt brick yard owned by the Nebraska Clay Products company of Omaha, lias just been sold to the Advance Brick rompany of the same ^Ity, and the Indications are favor able for a resumption of work early next spring. The products of thta yard have been eagerly sought after in the past, having been used ex tensively by the Burlington railroad for depot platforms throughout this and adjoining states and its artlve operation will he an asset to the city. %<■ Pelham SYNOI'MS. Captain Arthur Pelham, arriving in London from Bombay. India, after several years' absence, is told by a railway porter of his st ro*ig resem blance to Sir Arthur, who he says was Kilted in France. Pelham declares that his cousin Is very much alive. Jenkins, the porter, tells of words he heard the supposedly dying man repeat and declares that these names have been seen signed to personal items in the “Agony Column'' of a London newspaper. After going to a hotel. Captain Pelham decides to Join in the fun and write? a personal addressed to “Matador and Vaquero” who had signed the ones which drew' his at tention. He warns both that “Bull'* is after them. “Scotland Yard will know of this in the morning, remarks one of the clerks in the advertising office. On a midnight walk Pelham walks through the gates of the family manor and immediately is set upon by an other intruder. A policeman catch's him but allows his assailant to es ca pe. After being questioned nt police headquarters. Pelham returns to his 1 Oil Kings. Next morning c F. Prideaux of Scotland Yard calls upon him and hears his stoiy from the time he ar rived in l.ondon to his fight of the previous evening. When the official from the criminal investigation department hears that Pelham’s assailant appeared to be German. Prideaux. his inti-rest in the • use increases and lie agrees to use the co-operation of Pelham in the clearing of th»- mystery Phyllis Daunt, fiance of Sir Arthur Pelham, calls on Captain Pelham while Prideaux is with him. She tells of meeting the titled English man and of her suspicions. She feels in duty bound to marry the baronet. The army officer is impressed with the girl. On two occasions. Captain Arthur Pelham aernyts two men and asks them outright if either of them is Vaquero or .Vlatadore. Sir Arthur Pelham leaves town suddenly, ^destination Scotland. Acquaintances tell of Sir Arthurs life as a student in the university. All regret that his face wus so dis figured in the war Scotland Yard continues investiga tions with the help of Captain Pel ham ami Phyllis Daunt. (Continued I rnni Saturday.) Somers replaced the receiver, and called to his aide: "Now get me police headquarters, Edinburgh." He puffed contemplatively at the cigar which he had not allowejl to go out during the conversation. "Well, what do you think of your cousin'"’ he said. "He was dreadfully shocked at first," said Pelham slowly. "Natural ly. he would be. But after the first few seconds he seemed to he on guard. He chose his words carefully. Even while speaking he was thinking hard." “Anything else?” "J am sure he had already realized that his mother was in danger. If the affair were part of the attempts to rob the house why should it not have been the lodgekeeper, or the butler, or one of the other servants who should suffer?" “Good! And the nejct?" "He was greatly disturbed on hear ing that Lady Pelham was killed in her own room. The knowledge that it was so led to the inquiry as to whether or not anything was stolen." "If you care to join up l it make you a detective. Captain Pelham Somers gave the officer on duty in the northern police office full de tails of the crime, and asked spe cifically that Mr. Robertson should note Sir Arthur Pelham's departure next morning, telephoning Scotland Yard when the train had started. He, Somers, would await the call person ally. as he wished Mr. Robertson to undertake certain further investiga tions. "Well, that’s that," he said. “I wonder If I can get hold of Pridenux before we start for Cedar Lodge. I’ll try.atfyhow.” He succeeded. Scotland Yard ob tained good service from London tel ephone exchanges. ’’I’m glad you rang me up," said Prideaux. ’I’ didn’t butt in lest I might interfere with long distance Tell our gallant young friend that he will help us more by not coming here tonight. I have my reasons. He need not he afraid of missing any thing. He’s in this business up to the neck.” "He looks very disappointed,’’ chuckled Somers "I wouldn’t feel that way if T were he. People must eat though the heavens fall. Let him ask the girl out to luncheon or tea tomorrow. Try the kiosk in Kensington gardens—■ any old place except Soho. Kir Ar thur comes south by the day train, I suppose?" ‘Yes." "Well, hurry along. I’ve things to say. Miss Phyllis is a wonder. She'll make a fine nurse.” l’ftiham understood clearly that cer tain disadvantages might attend his presence at Cedar Lodge that night. He would be seen by many people, and the fact that he had come there under the agis of the police could hardly fall to reach Kir Arthur's ears. He said as much to Komers as they went down in the lift, and promised to remain in his rooms until 11 o'clock next day. In the very unlike ly event of Miss Daunt agreeing to meet him In the park, or elsewhere, he would let Kcotland Yard know of the rendezvous. "I can drop you at Piccadilly circus," said the chief, for whom a private car was wailing. "I think I’d prefer to walk," said ■ UsePIsO’S^hisprescriptionquindyl relieve* children and adults.

"All right. Go up Charing Cross road, and keep out of mischief.” "That's why I’m not going with you. even as far as the circus.” "Good lad! Remember my offer of a job. The pay is poor, but it’s a gay and giddy life.” It was nearly midnight when Cel ham crossed Trafalgar square. Peo ple from theater-land were crowding the omnibuses and hurrying to tube stations. It was quite impossible to picture this bustling, well-dressed, pleasure-seeking city as having been so recently in the throes of a world wide war. Very rarely a young man with an armless sleeve or the springy gait that betokened an artificial leg gave a hinf, as It were, of other days and vastly different scenes. London was wide-awake and full of life, and, if po\erty and urtenvployment lurked in its recesses, they were discreetly hidden. He reached Innesmore mansions without other adventure than dodg ing taxis. Resolutely dismissing the day’s exciting events from his mind, lie read an evening newspaper and went to bed. Mrs. Smith had break fast ready at 9. and be was glancing through the Times over a morning pipe when the telephone almost made him jump, for the jar of its insistent Hell had certainly not been the precur sor of commonplace events during the previous 24 hours. The instrument still maintained its repute in so far as he was concerned. "Prideaux speaking.” snueaked the now familiar voice. "We’ve got Monsieur Raymond Carre!” CHAPTER VI. The “Yard” Scores a Point. I "Good workS" said Pelham. "Wliil£ I'm in London I’ll try and behave." “Are you clothed and fed and smok ed?" “ Yes.” "He waiting on the doorstep in 10 minutes. I'll rush you to the east end incase you are able to Identify the corpse.” "Is the blighter dead?” "S’es. worse luck! Xom de Dieu, liow that ad. of yours has stirred things up! Give you all news in the car." And that was how another day started. Prideaux looked quite cool and summery in a natty grey suit and straw hat when he greeted Pelham with one of his Japanese grins from the Interior of a limousine. "When do you sleep?" was the soldier's first query as the car headed eastward across "the squares." that part of London bounded by Totten ham Court road and Southampton Row thus known colloquially In the land of Cockaigne* "I was in bed at 1:30 and up at 7,” said the detective. "You see, T haven't much weight to carry during the day, and I seldom exercise my brains.” _ This sally, of course, provoked a smile. "No need to,” went on Prideaux cheerfully. "Young fellows like you make the fox break cover, and I simply hang around until the wretch ed creature runs into my jaws. What would I have really known about I 'SoixanteneuP and those other ruffians if vou hadn’t come all the way from ! India? And how can I compete with a juvenile cop who is sweet hearting a girl In a Barnes garden and there fore blunders into the great event of his life? That is just what happen ed in the Carre Pelham murder ease. You remember the keen-e.ved sleuth in a trench coat who taxied after you the other night all the way from Mnrtlake police station?" "Yes.

Had he not already followed one in a taxi to Innesmore mansions. Tottenham Court road? So he tore himself away, after a passionate kiss, and stalked no less a personage than Monsieur Raymond Carre." "Well. I'm-” "Oh, hush! Tomorrow’ is Sunday. Our bright young spark, name of Dodson, held the trail by ’bus and train all the way to a narrow street off theiCommerciul road. Whitechapel, ascertained the numlier of the house into which Monsieur Carre disap peared, and returned home, retiring to a well-earned rest at 1!:!10, and bliss fully unaware of any sensational de velopments in hip own bailiwick, though he was sought eagerly about 10 that night. He went on duty this morning at 8, whh in the Commercial road again at 9, and has just 'phoned through to say that a man, name unknown, committed suicide when the police broke open his bedroom door. Of course, it's Carre right enough. If (hose idiots In Mortlake had only told us before Dodson and—a strong arm squad got busy, we'd have taken him alive. I'm peeved, distinctly peeved. That's a good American word we ought to adopt.” "But-’’ "I can see the obvious comment coming out of your mouth. Dodson and the others were afraid Carre might take wing before they got there. Naturally, no one named Carre was known where he lived, hut they found a man who was lurked in and wouldn't admit them. Somers roared like a bull when the news came through, and tried to warn the Whitechapel police to go slow. He was just too late. Those boys enjoy busting doors. It's such a change from moving on costers.” "I suppose Mr. Somers will have Sir Arthur Informed at York that his motheVs murderer has been discover ed?" "He may, or he may not. I’m in two minds about it myself. If I rnuld possibly get away I'd rush to York and travel hack with him to London." "But what’s the hurry?” "Don't ask me, because I don’t know. ... Are you Sir Arthur Pel ham's heir?” "Up to the present I suppose so unless he got married quietly, anil has a child.” "Well, if events travel at this pace you should soon be the third baronet. Old ladies are not killed by gentlemen who commit suicide rather than be arrested without some powerful motive behind it all. Lady Pelham's death is a warming to her son, I take It." "Do you expect to find that this man !h 'Vaquero'?" "Why not 'Matador'?" "Your own description of him de termines that. Matador’ is a stumpy follow, and we know that the tall one is 'Vaquero' because both Miss Daunt and T agree as to his accent." (Continued In The Morning Bee.

Luckily, Hess Dean was looking di rectly at me. and so failed to catch the fierce inquiring flash of Leila's eyes at Bess's question concerning Mrs. Durkee and the hospital. I was determined to keep Delia’s Jealous forebodings hidden from the girl on the doorstep who was doing her best to make the gentle young wife un happy, and I, therefore, entered Into a voluminous explanation of the eld er Mrs. Durkee's illness, and of the arrangements for her operation, which lasted until the taxi made its appearance. I gave Bess Dean no possible opportunity to address Leila and while I talked I was setting the sliver bag and our own luggage on the veranda, so that when the taxi appeared, I was able to say with ev ery appearance of haste: “if you'll take that silver and get into the taxi, Lelia, I’ll lock up. Tell the driver to get this luggage .” Lelia obeyed with an alacrity that told me how much she dreaded any conversation wth Bess Dean, and after locking the door, I turned and faced my former colleague. “So sorry, we cannot offer you a lift," I cooed, “but as I told you, we barely have time to make the bank at Freeport before trhin time. The cashier is going to let us in after hours as it is.” Bess Changes Her Mind. A little devil of misc hief glinted in Bess Dean's eyes and she hastily con sulted her wrist watch. “My.'frip to Lynbrook isn't im portant,” she said smoothly. "I'd much rather ride to Freeport with !> i i i Jy you and have a chant* for a chat with you and Leila." "That will be splendid," I said with a smile upon iny lips and a desire to commit mayhem in my heart. Some how, someway, tn the next sixty sec onds l must devise some plan to thwart this petty little scheme of Bess Dean’s to harass Leila. I made my progress to the taxi as slow as possible, and Just as I reached the door, an inspiration came to me. I gave a sijdden exclamation of cha grined annoyance. “Oh, Leila!" I exclaimed, fixing her with my eyes and hoping that she would not contradict me, "do you know I forgot everything about ljut tlng away that jelly vour mother in law told 11s about, and we've barely time to get to the bank now. I’ll tell you, you go to the bank and put In the silver and catch the train at Freeport. I'll call another taxi right away and Bess will help me with the jelly, so that I can get the same train at Marvin. (Jive me the key and don't forget the next train Good by. Hur ry up. driver, please. . “The Gentle, Fragile Grisehla." I had taken the key and the taxi was whirling away before 1 looked at Bess Dean. There was a veno mous little glint In her eyes, and she gave a short, sardonic little laugh as I looked at her. "Clever, old dear,” she said. "What's the matter? Is the gentle, fragile Grisehla afraid of yours tru ly?' I looked at her with purposeful blankness.

I drawled plaintively and then unlocking the door,- I went to the telephone and ordered another taxi to make all haste to the house. “Where is this jelly?'" she asked mockingly. “In the pantry,” I answered mak ing my way toward Hat room, with Bess closefy following. When I had reached it, 1 turned after one look with an amused •laugh. "That’s one on me, all right," I said. "I had moved it after all.” She cocked her head on one side, and surveyed me mockingly. "Yes, it's one on you, all right,” she retorted meaningly. “I wonder if you really believe that you are putting a thing as patent as that over on me.” I looked at her steadily in an swer. "I wonder if it really matters what either you ar I believe about it,"'I said coolly. “Come on back into the living room. I can give you a lift as far as the station when the taxi comes.” That she was angry enough to strike me, I knew, and with Bella's unhappiness in my mind. I think 1 also would have welcomed the op portunity for a primitive hair-pulling contest. Hut either good breeding or her desire to keep up her pretext of friendliness, triumphed and she only said mockingly: "How sweet of you, dear. I'll take you up on that gladly.” (Copyrlsht, 1923 ) Bus Line From Casper to Rawlins Planned Casper, Wyo., Nov. 25.—The Wyo ming public service commission has granted Robert W.
