Says'*Bugs* cxer*: THE GLUTT * WARNS CAMP tloesn’t Want Walter to Steal Signals of RuiTtown's All-American Eleven. BIO rush to horn Into Wal ter Camp's annual beauty content. Once a year, Walter risks all his money on one team. He picks the. eleven best football players in the works and that's that. This all-American outfit has nev er been defeated. It never played. Other football experts pirk their all-.Vineiiean teams, too. But (amp's is the only one that can claim the hat and coat without showing a brass check. The Glutt picked his team this fall. Hut after they were picked they made a mistake. They played a game with Rufftown University, and the ground was loaded with all-Ameri can relics. Rufftown beat them l>y a large sided score. Now Rufftown wants to play Camp’s all-American business next Saturday if Camp can separate bis players long enough to get them together. The Glutt has a new aerial at tack. The whole team goes up into the air. llis end runs arc also very good. They end nowhere. He makes a specialty of kicking goals from fumbles. The old boy played two-footed football this year jgf and went through his opponents like fork through a paper pie plate. Dohie has a pretty good team up at Cornell, hut It Is weakened by too many first-string platers. The Glutt would allow no varsity athletes on his elevens. He claimed that a man who wasn't game enough to play with a broken arm would never eat in his automat. If Camp wants to get a theoretical trouncing from a good mythical ele ven, then The Glutt challenges him to a contest. Each man is to write his all-American selection on a piece of wrapping paper. There will be 5n,(|00 spectators, two student bands and cheer lead er. In fact, this game will be played with everything but football teams. If, at the end of the game, every body doesn’t admit (hat The Glutt has the best team mi paper, then he will tear up his notes and de pend on his memory. The Glutt has eleven Itufftown stars all picked out. Their names are in the hat. The hat is a brown derby. Camp has been picking teams for twenty years and getting away with it because nobody has had the nerve to outplck him. The Glutt will over pick him. It will be the first time that two all American teams ever tried lo all Amerlcanize one inotoer. And it will In-, the final touch to a collegiate sea on of small touches. (Co-; right. 19231 Glen Milligan of Sioux Oily, and Warnie Smith, Tulsa welterweight, meet In a 10-round bout at Waterloo, la., tonight.

Athletic Heads to Act on Claims Lincoln, Dec. 3.—The question of football champion in the Nebraska Intercollegiate conference will remain unsettled until the meeting here next Saturday of members of the conference athletic association, local association members declared tonight. A dispatch from Hastings quotes Dean Weyer of Hastings college saying Hnstlngs claims the title by virtue of an un broken string of victories throughout the season. Chadron State Normal school also went through the season without a defeat, but played a tie game with Peru normal. Dean Tllberg of Midland college at Fremont, chairman of the conference, according to a d.spatch tonight from Fremont, said he held the Impression that last year the association went on record in favor of a post-season game by undefeated teams to settle the question of the title. Both Hastings and Chadron, he contends, have a standing of 1,000 per cent. Coach Holste of Hnstln*s college, while in Lincoln yesterday, said so far as his team is concerned the season Is ended. Georges Ready to Fight for Tex New York, Dee. 3.—A cablegram was received by Tex Kickard from Georges Carpentier, French light heavy%eight, saving ho was ready to coma here now. Carpentier said he would meet either Mike McTlgue, world's champion in Carpentier's di vision; Gene Tunney, holder of the American title, Harry Greb, from whom Tunney regained it. or Bat tling Slki, who wrested the world crown from Carpentler and lost it to \JcTlgue. Navy-Washington Game Probability Annapolis, Md.. Dec. 3.—While no tfflriai action has been taken. It is probable the Naval academy football team will consent to meet the Uni versity of Washington at Pasadena, Cal., on New Year’s day if that in stitution agrees promptly to the proposition of the Tournament of Hoses association. If there is delay, it is likely that navy officials will end the whole matter. While naval academy authorities would be sorry to disappoint those connected wtlh the Pacific coast lleet and others interested In the navy in that section, they do not wish the Institution to be put in the position of hunting for an opponent. Army and Navy to Battle for Tennis Supremacy New York, Dec. 3.—Annual team competition for tennla aupremacy be tween the United States army and navy will be Inaugurated In 1924, the United States Lawn Tennis assocla tlon announced tonight. Secretary of War Week* and As sistant Secretary of the Navy Roose velt have accepted a plan for the competition as outlined by Dwight K Davis, president of the U. S. L. T. A. and details will be worked out at a conference soon. The association will donate a trophy for the service event. Rival teams probably will be chosen through elimination tests held hy the separate arms of the service. The Pas Dog Derby to Be Run on March 11 The pas, Man.

Silence fell on the room. Sir J\f thur lounged In his chair, Somers sat holt upright, but Prideaux leaned forward, with hands on knees, face curiously intent, arui eyes which seemed to pierce below the surface of Aiaterial things in order to search their secret places. He was seated with his back to the windows, where as the baronet faced the full flood of a June sunset, though the screen of trees shut out the sun's direct rays. "M. I. 6 had peculiar ways,” said Somers, with a genial smile "Few people knew who belonged to it, and hardly any of the members were ac- ■ quainted with their colleagues. If I may be allowed to say it, Sir Ar thur, you rendered valuable service to the country.” "So valuable that I never got the slightest thanks or recognition for them.” "You only shared the common lot of the men who did the best work during the war. So far, you have been candor itself. Will you tell us now how 'Vaquero,' 'Matador.' and the others came to identify you. Sir Arthur Pelham, with Karl von Held ing?" "That I absolutely do not know. The fact has puzzled and disturbed me. The first intimation of danger came through the telephone messages received by Miss Daunt, whom y< Mr. Prldeaux, have met. she tells me.” "Yes. A wonderful young lady. Very bright. Very efficient. She will rise to fame in the hospitals.'' "Hospitals? What do you mean?" "Perhaps I should not have said that, but she told me she meant to become a hospital nurse " "Nonsense' In a few days she will be I.arly Pelham." "Ah! Excellent! She Is to be con gratulated." "I am, rather." "Yes. Yes. Perhaps I put it awk wardly. (Hut I have interrupted the flow of Mr. Homers' pellugld thought." The chief darted an angry glance at his flippant assistant. "Had you seen thg advertisements In the newspaper before you heard about the telephone inquiries?" he went on. "No. I was so irritated that I did a foolish thing. I answered them. But. as they had found out where I lived, I thought a contemptuous re tort would annoy them " "Do you remember their names?" "No. Remember, von Helding was a leading light In the German equlval ent to M. I. 6. Indeed our military intelligence department was faahloned on the Hun model, hut, ns usual in an emergency, we went them one let ter. Of course' it was an extraordin ary piece of luck that I should be a, to assume his fallen mantle.” "Surely the German high command knew he was dead?" "I honestly believe they did not. You see, he was supposed to have passed into the British lines that night. Records were poorly kept In the field hospitals. We did not get checked up properly until we reached a base. In the morning at daybreak, his body was removed. An hour la ter a German colonel questioned me. hut gave up the Job when he found I spoke German well." "Why, I wonder?” "You must study Hun psychology, Mr. Somers. The moment a German discovers that you understand his language thoroughly he credits you with nil the brain power he thinks he possesses himself Indeed, he a] ADVlCltT»**Hrv'r IF CONSTIPATED, Harmless Laxative for the Liver and Bowels I Keel fine!

They used to argue with me, but never tried to pump me.” "Had you any physical resemblance to Von Holding?” "I cannot say. He was my height and build, but I never actually saw him In a strong light.” "Have you heard anything of a man name«l Jenkins, an ex-corporal in tlie Fusiliers, and now a porter at Victoria station?” "Miss Haunt spoke of him half an hour ago.” "Ah! Then you have not met Cap tain Pelham?” "I certainly met him at King’s Cross, but wish to say at once that I decline emphatically to receive him, either here or elsewhere. I hope you will abandon that subject.” Somers nodded, as much as to say it was not his business to bring family skeletons into prominence. "So you can render no assistance as to the Identity of ’Vaquero’ or Matador,’ their appearance or where abouts, or the manner In which they learnt where you lived?" he said dubiously. "None whatever. I might do one piing. Tomorrow, or next day, I may be at.le to give you specimens of their handwriting.” “We have dozens, thank you. Many of their reports, and yours, were photographed." "Mine? You mean Von Helding's." "His—and yours. I suppose the fake messages you sent to Amsterdam in 1917 and 191S were yours?" "Yes, but they were always typed." If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why It is that so many products that are extensively advertised, ell at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten ’ The reason Is plain—the sr' tide did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more par ticularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells Itself, as like in endlesa chain system the remedy Is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who .are In need of It. A prominent druggist says: "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case It shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements snd verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the suc cess of I>r. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder aliments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

Did you guess that Von Helillng generally typed his coin municatinns?" “I took no chances. I could im personate hitn successfully, but I could not reproduce his handwriting.’’ "Now, as to more urgent mntters. Who is Hayniond Carre?" "I haven't the remotest notion." "Here is his photograph. See if you recognise him." Sir Arthur roused himself to a Hud den animation. He took the cabinet photograph which Somers produced from a pocket, and held it to the light. The dead man was an affright ing looking object, but the wide open, horrified eyes guve the picture a life like if ghastly vrai semblance. "So this Is the fiend who murdered my poor mother.” he murmured, with a tense vibrato in his voice the others had not heard earlier. "No, I have never seen the wretch.” He threw the photograph on the table as though It were an unclean thing, and wiped his fingers with a handkerchief. "If I hadn’t done that.” he cried fiercely, “I would have torn it to shreds." "No harm if you had, Sir Arthur," said the chief. "We have plenty of other copies. They are being widely circulated. Someone may spot him. You never can tell.” "There will be Inquests, of course?" ‘‘Yes. Tomorrow." "I don't want to interfere with the legal proceedings, hut is it necessary that all these mutters should be gone Into publicly?" “Meaning?" "The telephone threats and the ad vertisements." "Not a word will he said of them tomorrow. I cannot spjjgk yet as to the couigte the adjourned inquest on Carre may take." "Why should there be an adjourn ment?'1 "Because, in his case, as a murder er, further evidence may be secured." "I see. Well, is there anything else? I hear the servants In the din ing room." "Naturally, one or both of us may have to meet you again, many times. As a matter of form, I wish you would tell us why you did not take Scotland Yard into your confidence earlier?" "I regarded these frothy conspira tors ns stage vllllans. I actually thought of meeting them, giving them a serious talking to, and / possibly handing them BO pounds apiece to clear out* of the country.” "That would have been foolish—to pay blackmail." "Not at all. The war Is over. My work Is done. I want my biter share in It forgotten. I would gladly pay much more than 100 pounds to wipe out the record." The three men stood up. Somers pocketed the photograph. Prldeaux came a little nearer, and gared In terestedly at the white cicatrices on the baronet's face. "You show the remains of s lot of nasty knocks from that shell-hurst. Vaudeville—Photoplay.

Now, If I got even one of those raps on my brain pan I don’t believe I’d know' my own mother.” The other man smiled sadly. "My own mother hardly knew me when I came home." he said. "But time works wonders. The doctors tell me that as I grow older these scars w ill become less and less visible. Of course, they will never vanish al together. Sure you won’t have a cocktail? It will not take a minute.” "No, thank you. Sir Arthur," said Somers. "My little friend sees visions if he imbibes, while I am on a strict diet, owing to my weight." The baronet himself showed them out. He watched their car speeding down the drive and through the gate. Meeting the butler in the hall, he said: “What kept Mr. Prideaux here so long last night?" "He was using the telephone a good deal, sir, and he must have been a couple of hours or more in her lady ship’s room.” "Alone?” "Yes, sir. except when the doctor was there." "Ah. Dinner ready?” "In in minutes. Sir Arthur." "Right! f’ll be on time." And he hurried away. The moment the car had turned into Upper Bridge Road.
