CONRAD YOUNG Is one of the ardent snipe shooters of Oma ha and in the oid days used to hunt the wily little long bill out near Herman, Neb., but in late years has confined his hunting to local marsh grounds. A short time ago he and friends went to a certain favorite pasture and when Con decided to go it was in such a hurry that he went dressed in office clothes. Plus a white stiff collar, a fine linen shirt, an expensive fedora, he pulled on hoots over his silk socks and pro ceeded to wade the shallow water for Jacks. Without soiling any of his apparel lie shot away a box of shells, picked up his snipe and was waiting in the car as clean and spick and span as if he had dressed for an afternoon tea. Friends believe that Con Is the hunter who went out for a duck hunt In a dress suit, got the limit, and returned in time to address a banquet at the Omaha club. BERT SIHTAK spends most of his time in making men’s rlntheg, but once in a while can be found with his long Packard on the iianks of the Platte, where he and few friends have a camp. Bert heard that live decoys were an addi tion to any shoot so proceeded to use a dozen. He is now of the opinion that any one using live decoys wants to be trained to the business Bert had a hard enough time staking the birds out but when it came time to lift them out of the cold water and put them in their crates lie found he had tils hands full. The birds were thor oughly enjoying themselves and pro ceeded to splash Bert for all they were worth. * ’’■If you think a tame Mallard hen can't throw about a gallon of water with one beat of her wing, you're crazy," remarks Bert. "Those birds wet me down in proper shape and they taught me plenty of tricks. Thur.., Sat. AUGUSTUS PITOU PRESENTS Mntw., fine.Si.6II; Kvi-H nan iuc.»2.00 4 Night.: Dec. 2, 3, 4, 5—Mat. Wed. Messrs.

Lincoln, Nov. 25.—Nebraska foot ball players came through the hard fought Syracuse game without injuries of consequence, and are fit for the concluding battle of the Missouri Val ley conference season with the Kansas Agricultural college here Thanksgiv ing day. The only man forced out of yesterday's gume was Hutchison, and his retirement was the result of Injuries sustained In the game with Ames the Saturday previous. The Thanksgiving day struggle is not reck oned lightly by Coach Dawson and his Cornhusker squad, but there is confidence tfiat Nebraska will win by a slight margin and retain her stand ing of being unbeaten by any confer ence 11 this season, although twice tied. It will require Thursday's game In the valley to determine the cham plonship. Coach Meehan and others of the athletic hoard of Syracuse, before leaving for home took occasion to deny the report emanating from Syracuse last week that yesterday's game would be the last between the two schools. They said there was no other Inten tion than to renew athletic relations with Nebraska, and that the feeling between the two boards wag of the utmost cordiality. , ^Ig]ham Affair by touts' 2racij U oiitmlfi- l f rom 1 etdertlay.j I must sny that for a soldier you certainly do show some Intelligence." "Why are you so down on the army. Mr. Prldeaux?" "I'm not down on the army. An army has to obey orders and fight, and heaven knows the British army does those two things thoroughly. Pm jibing at the men higher up, the brass hats. You young boys don't realise the muddle and mess of the first three years of the war. Cre nom —If ever I write a book!” "It should take the form of a dialogue between Mr. Somers and yourself. I 11 be happy to supply a few notes. But, seriously, Mr. Prideaux, if my cousin Is In danger something must be done, and done thoroughly." "Meaning?” "He must be proterted." "Its pretty hard to safeguard a man who denies us his confidence. A set of international crooks is bent on his destruction, it would seem, yet he refuses all Information, and tries deliberately to mislead us as well as them. Somers gave him every op portunlty to speak plainly last night, but he avoided each opening that of fared." "Is It quite fair to judge him by last night's broken talk over a tele phone He had Just been told of his mother's death, and the dreadful man ner of it.” Prldeaux merely grunted. His heady black eyes were gleaming at With Colleen Moore Milton Sills Elliott Dexter Pep Snap Spice Neckera * Pettera ' Kiaaera Cocktaila Cigarettea The Photoplay that Is Setting Omaha Ablaza.

At last he spoke, but his thoughts must hive wandered far afield in the mean time, ns It was only a question con cerning the present political condi tion of India. Pelham was not sur prised. Twice within a few hours he had come perilously near uttering a caustic criticism of the mighty C. I. D. Homers had challenged him at once, but Prideaux had kept silent, which was much more remarkable. To the best of his ability he deliver ed a little essay on ihe Gandhi tenets until he discovered that Ills companion was not listening. To make sure he hesitated, and deliberately broke off in the middle of a sentence. They were passing the bank at the moment, but Prideaux gave no sign. "All light,” thought Pelham with a smile. "Jf it’s a case of arirry v. police training I'll enter the lists." Then he said aloud: ‘‘Reverting to the cause of this morning’s joy-ride, Mr. Prideaux. there Is always the possibility, you know, that Scotland Yard may not be following the right line of inquiry." “Always,'' agreed Prideaux "In fact, finding the right line where no line exists is the bane of our lives " "But In this affair there is a line, We have 'Vaquero,' ‘Matador’ and ‘69,’ already marked in your records as spies and probably criminals. My cousin was employed in naval intelli gence. Js it not conceivable that he may have come across those men while diseharglng his official duties, and earned their deadly hatred?" "That is practically certain. If I hated any fellow so cordially as some of these rascals hate Sir Arthur Pel ham I d have killed him once a month during the past three years." "Js the feud of such long standing then?” “It began with the armistice. Don't misunderstand me. Xiy crowd was kept in the dark in certain respects. I think we are beginning to see light. Yet. if you really feel that Scotland Yard is an obsolete institution, don't spare It, or me. There ia seldom any shred of humour about our sordid work, but we do extract amusement occasionally from Ill-Informed anal yses of our methods.” After that, two silent men drove through Leadenhall street. Absent-mindedly. Pelham produced a cigar, and then tried to restore it un seen to the breast pocket of his waist coat. "Even though we have quarreled bitterly with regard to the defects of an effete detective system, there is no reason why we should not observe the ordinary amenities of life,” said Prideaux suavely. "Please smoke. We are entering an unsavoury neigh borhood, and both of us may be clad of a disinfectant, which Is the only virtue tohacco possesses. Indeed, I have noticed that men soaked with the poison of nicotine are often im mune from zymotic disease.” "You certainly are the limit,” laughed Pelham. ”1 shan't offend again. What I really meant was that I don't want to succeed to an estate over a row of dead bodies.” ' Then I’ll he equally candid with you if there is to be more killing I don't want to attend your funeral or Miss Daunt’s.” "Great Scott, man. Is she running any risk?” ”1 hope not, but we'll take no chances.” "Thank you for “Hying that." "You re not engaged to any other girl, nt course?" Pelham laughed again. "As a inatlei ot fact I'm not. though I've never before heard of so many queer alternatives wrapped up In so few words.” "There ate only two, and both are simple. You arrive home from India, and hire a flat in London for three months, yet no girl shows on the screen, either here cr In the prov inces. Solution Number One. Fate —in this case sheer good fortune— throws at yuur head a particularly charming girl, who wants to become a nurse and says she will never, never rnarry. Solution Number Two. Why can't the pair of you grow apples or oranges?" Before Pelham could begin to fiame a reply Prtdeaux siezed a speaking tube and bade the chauffeur pull up In front of the next public-house on the left. “I'm not going to stand you a drink," he explained, "but we ll walk the remainder of the way. There, may be many eyes on the residence of the late Monsieur Raymond Carre." Half way down a squalid street a policeman in uniform wag standing in an open doorway. Pridaaux gave his name, and the man saluted. “Mr. Dodson told me to lie on the look-out for you. sir," he said. “Ah. How did he describe me?" The policeman coloured—that is to say his weather tanned cheeks grew brick-red—as he was by no means ready with an answer. “Never mind," said prideaux re signedly. "Where Is the renowned Mr, Dodson?" "Upstairs, sir. second rioor bacK. They mounted a rickety staircase, and were peered at furtively by wo men and children, from dim interiors through half open doors. There were no men to be seen. "Too many cops about." murmured prideaux "If one could give every able bodier inmate of this house twelve months’ hard straightaway justice even then would have leaned toward mercy. But the kids! Hood Lord! The poor doomed kids!" Suddenly it struck Pelham that his mercurial little friend had said no def inite word as to the manner of Uady Pelham’s death, nor detailed such ad ditional information a** he might have obtained at Cedar Lodge the previous lev ning. Being thoroughly convinced | by now that Prideaux. despite oartain |eccentricities of thought and speech, was a man of great intelligence, it might be, of genius, he believed that every sentence the detective uttered bore* on the quest of the hour so it was strange indeed, that he had been , so reticent with regard to the actual facts of the murder. However, he could endeavor to solve that minor enigma later. Here they were, outside a broken door, whose riv en panels had been hurriedly thrust into position again. Piideaux tapped and a policeman admitted him. A younger man in plain clothes was kneeling by the side of a trunk, and emptying it of if* « ontents. A soiled linen sheet revealed the outlines of a body lying on a bed. Detective Dodson rose to his feet. "I m glad vou've <ome. Mr. Pri deaux." he said. "There are some things here I don't understand." "You've done pretty wen as it is. t my lad was the answer. "Leave 1 other matters for the moment. This is Captain Pelham 1 want him to tell us who liei or nut Raymond Cano is the man who attacked him the other evening. . , Wait one second." as Dodson was about to exhibit ids prise. "How did this fellow kill him self'-’" "The doctor says it was poison, sir. He collapsed In our hands. That's an old doot, u{ tough oak, and it sim ply wouldn't give way at once. And Just look at the lock!'' Prldeaux nodded. "People who live in these cribs ask for strong locks," he said. "Where is the doctor?” "Gone to arrange a postmortem, sir.” "Very well. Off with the lid " The body of a tall, slightly-built man of middle age was revealed He was not a pleasant ob ect to look at. No effort had been made to compose his features or close Ills eyelids, and the natural pallor of death was made ghoulish by the remains of grease paint only partly removed. A brown wig. intended to conceal thin grey hair closely cropped was awry. II* was fully diessed, and seemed to have been partaking of a simple meal when tlie police, heralds of eternity, demand ed admittance, because some bread, butter, and cold meat were set out on top of a chest of drawers. Pelham, to whom death in many forms w as only too familiar glanced at the distorted face. He shook his head, but, to make sure, bent and ex amined the dead man s nose, neck and wrists. "No." he said, straightening him self. "This is not the man He seems to Ire of the same racial type, but I have never seen him before." "I thought not." said Prtdeauv. He turned to the constable stationed at the door. "Accompany Captain Pel ham to niy cat. tell the chauffeur to drive him home, and come straight back. Then ask your inspector to have some clear photographs taken of this poor devil, full face and profile. The undertaker s men will assist, but the eves must not be touched until the photographer Is satisfied that he had secured good pictures. . . . You promised to be in your flat before eleven, captain." he went on. ' Leave all this misery and squalor." and he waved a hand around the room and Its contents, "behind you as you drive west. After eleven o'clock ring up Cedar Lodge, This time I am quite serious. You will find plenfv to talk about for a couple of hours." Pelham understood, of course, that Prldeaux was alluding to Phyllis I taunt and really wanted him to meet that young lady without delay. More over, he had placed no embargo on the exchange of whatever news each had to tell. It was becoming more and more difficult. Pelham felt, to guess correctly Just what lay behind the detectives instructions, but he was certain they had a definite object, no matter haw .-ryptic or far fetched they might sound "Right-o." he said "J'll obey or ders." At the main exit, where a whiff of fresh air and a shaft of sunlight brought relief from the oppressiveness of the death haunted room above, he halted in front of the policeman on guard there. "By the way. how did Mr. Dodson describe Mr. Prideaux" he Inquired. The man grinned peered up the stairs, and said, almost in a whisper: "He told me to look out for a queer lit?!* freezer with a tunny face.” confided. ^ Zm The other constable was interested, too.
