Twelve University of Kansas
» Boys Had Liquor After
Nebraska Game.
Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 16.—A dozen
University of Kansas students will
be sent home for one week as a re
sult of admitted misconduct on a
special train which carried the uni
versity contingent to the Kansas-Ne
branka game at Lincoln, Chancellor

The misconduct related to the use
of liquor on the train. While none

en liquor on board with them, those
suspended acknowledged that they
had taken drinks while on the trip.

ents of each student departing and
he will be expected to talk the matter
over with them.
Woman Driver Wrecks Car
in Collision With Truck
Plalnview, Neb., Nov. 16.—Miss
Doris Gunthorpe of this place, driv
ing her father's car, crashed in to the
big truck used by the sewer con
tractors, and broke the radiator,
lamps and one of the lenders so that
the damage done was beyond repair.
The truck had stopped in the road
and the glare of the afternbon sun
shining through the windshield is said
to be the cause of the accident. Wit
nesses say Miss Gur.thorpe was not
driving fast and this fact probably
saved her from serious injury.

Pelham Affair Jy- j£ouis> Traci/.*
SYNOPSIS.
Captain Arthur Pelham, arriving in
London from Bombay. India, after
several years’ absence, is told by a
railway porter of his strong resem
blance to Sir Arthur, who he says
was Killed, in Franco.
Pelham declares that hi* cousin
Is very much alive
Jenkins, ihe porter, tells of word*
he heard the .supposedly dying man
repeat ana declares that these names
have been seen signed to personal
Item* 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 Vuquero” who had
signed tho ones which drew bis at
tention. lie warns both that “Bull”
is a(i^r them.
•'Scotland Yard will know of this in
the morning.” remarks one of tho
clerks in the advertising office.
v*n a midnight walk Pelham walks
through the gates of the family manor
and Immediately is set upon by an
other intruder. A policeman catches
him hut allows his assailant to eB
* After being questioned nt police
headquarters. Pelham returns to his
lodgings. „ _ _ .. -
Next morning C. F. Prideaux n.
Scot land Yard calls upon him and
hears his story from the time ho ar
rived in London to his fight of the
previous evening. . , .
When the official from the criminal
Investigation department hears that
Pelham’s assailant appeared to b«
German. Prideaux. his interest In the
case increases and h# agrees to use
the co-operation of Pelham In tho
clearing of tbe mystery.
(Continued From Yesterday.)
"Because he spoke German. '
"Do you?”
"No. X just learned a few cuss
words. They came in handy when
Heinie wouldn't tell us what we want
ed to know, though I must admit the
point of a bayonet was often more
persuasive."
"What did this man say?"
"He wished that the devil would
take me. Then he apoogized, In a
sort of a way, as I didn’t happen to
be Karl.”
"Ah! Ife did that, did he? Used
iho actual name?”
"Undoubtedly."
"That blithering ass of a constable
ought to 1)0 put on traffic duty for
the rest of his life. Couldn’t the fool
see that you were not the aggressor?”
"He was looking through a window.
I suppose, and watching me only.
The other blighter seemed to drop
from the clouds. Then, again, he
would lose sight of both of us while
making for the door, and things were
happening rapidly during those few
seconds. No. The policeman is not
to blame. I was bis bird right
right enough."
“Actually, why did you go there at
all?”
"I have no better excuse than the
one I gave ttie inspector. It is possi
ble I may never again be in Barnes,
so I took the opportunity to Inspect
my cousin's residence. This very day
1 am lunching with a man who wants
me to grow oranges in South Africa.
Yesterday it was a toss up between a
poultry farm at home and an apple
orchard in Nova Scotia. Whnt do
yoU recommend? Bananas?"
. "If I were you I would grow
whiskers?”
"That's a trifle too subtle for me.”
"Somehow, Captain Pelham—how, I
do not know at this moment—you
have been thrust into the most dan
orrous criminal combination now ex
iting in Kngland. '69,' ’Matador’ and
Yaquero’ are the notps de guerre of
threo German spies whom we were
never able to lay hands on during
the war. ‘69,’ or 'Soixanteneuf,’ as
his colleagm.s used to allude to him,
is supposed to be a German-Amerl
• ■an of good education Who was able
to sink his German attributes and
■•use as a pro ally American. ‘Va
• tierfi' and '.Matador' operated in
.Mexico on the American border, and
also in Holland. Their real names
• re not known, even yet. They cor
r. ponded ,or reported, under their
" spective pseudonyms, and, with true
German impudence, are now snarling
at each other by advertisement in a
Condon newspaper, though well aware
bit many of their written communl
■■•tions fell into British hands between
1915 and 191S. I have a crazy kind
of belief that you had your fingers
on the throat of one ot them last
night. If so, you are in grave dan
ger. That is why I suggest whiskers."
"Oh, I see. But why should ‘mata
dor,’ ‘vaquero’ or '69' Jump on me
because I dare take a peep at my
cousin's housg?"
“I cannot even guess. Perhaps Jen
kins may enlighten us. He laid the
trail, you kJtow."
Some elusive but lightning-like
flash of inspiration, a piercing gleam
"’hioh went far beyond mere words.
“Can We Believe in Miracles?”
k
The subject of miracles is just now the cause of
deep division among Christians. This division is
described as "The War in the Churches.” In
reference to the issue there are three parties—
the Fundamentalists, the Progressives, and the
Liberals. Which position is most reasonable?
Why is there so much fearful reticence about
the matter? I3 there a middle ground? Is It
right to dodge the issue?
This question will be discussed by Rev. Ralph E.
Bailey at the First Unitarian Church, 3114
Harney St., Sunday at 11 a. m.
"Prove all things; hold fast that which ia good.”

(Juried noin J’l ick' iux's fyes and stunt
ed a queer train of thought in Pel
ham's mind. Ho found the detective
an extraordinarily stimulating person
and wanteel to tell him so.
"Let me understand," he said
slowly, taking the opportunity to re
light his pipe. “Are we talking for
publication—evidence in a law-court,
I mean—or just idly discussing a Com
bination of rather uncommon lnci
dents?”
' I hate law-courts;” said Prldeaux.
"When an Inquiry reaches that stage
I lose all interest in it.’*
“But—”
"If you want an assurance that you
will be kept wholly out of tills busi
ness, except in such matters as you
wish to participate in, I give it
freely.”
"Thanks. Now I am going to lay
bare a family skeleton. It may have
struck you as curious that there
should lie two Arthur Pelhams. The
first baronet was Sir Arthur Pelharn.
He died in 4914, just after war was
declared. He had married a Herman
wife. My father, Richard Harrowby
Pelham, Sir Arthur's brother, was so
convinced that the Prussian system
was a menace to civilization that
they qparrelled about the marriage,
which took place, of course, long
before the baronetcy was conferred.
Arthur was in business, George a
professor of physics in a Midland
university. Arthur prospered. George
remained poor, but had sufficient in
come to live in fair comfort and edit
cate me when he married, and I
came along. _About 1910 my father
discovered a formula for n nonex
plosive gas suitable for balloons.
Trusting to his brother's business
ncumcn he approached him, and, for
a rime, the hatchet was buried. For
some reason, largely owing to mis
representation my father held, our
war office would not give his inven
tion a trial, yet. within the year.
Count Zeppelin was producing a
similar gas at Lake Constance."
"Ah!" chirped Prldeaux.
"Rightly or wrongly, my old man
bl 'ii •■! tho German la-tv. About that
time Sir Arthur bought a big sport
ing estate in Scotland. Nothing
would convince the younger brother
that the elder one had not sold the
formula to the Germans for a large
sum of money, and the family cleav
age then became so serious that Sir
Arthur paid not the slightest heed
when ray father died in 1912. I had
completed my first year at Oxford,
but had to let go. Having a taste
for mechanics I got a job in Coven
try with a motor-manufacturing
firm, and had just titled in their
London office when the war broke
out. The call came for dispatch rid
ers in France, and. of course, I
couldn't resist it. We Pelhams are
really a race of soldiers with the ex
cept.on of one generation, and my
mother was an Indian Lawrence."

"Was? Is she deal, too?”
“Yes. She lies In Abney Park
cemetery. My cousin, who was in
the guards, refused to help me to get
[a commission—I would be safer as n
private soldier he said—and never
tried to assist my mother in any
way. So, there you are!”
“Is Lady Pelham alive?”
“Yes. I believe ro.”
“Was there any trouble about her
nationality?”
"I never heard of any. She has
lived in this country nearly 30 years.
1 think few people knew that Rhe
was a Hanoverian oy birth and up
bringing.” - •
A whistle's thin note cable from the
kitchen.
"That's a signal from the hall
porter's office,” said Pelham, rising.
"I'll just see what It is, though I
don't expect any parcels.”
T/ien Prideaux heard a disjointed
conversation.
“What? A lady? What's her
name? From Cedar Lodge, you say.'
Well, I’m— Bring her up, will you?"
Pelham reappeared.
“The plot thickens,” he said. “A
kidy, a young lady, who refuses to
give her name but says she halls
from Cedar Lodge, Barnes, has
called, and is now on her way up
stairs.”
“Let me remain, but say nothing
about iny unfortunate profession,”
urged Prideaux.
"Certainly. I would much prefer
not to see her alone,” agreed Pelham.
“Women make me nervous. I don't
know how to tackle them.”
"I’m a past master In the art,”
chuckled the detective. “When I
find the woman in the case I re
gard my work as half done.”
“Of course, I don't want to share
in any deception—”
“Walt till you see the lady. Some
women simply ask to be deceived.
And chuck that pistol Into a drawer,
quick!”
i Pelham went to the door, Prideaux
to the window: a taxi was Just driv
In away. Then Pelham Raid, quite
nervously:
"Are you sure you are not making
a mistake. Do you really wish to
see me?”
And, in truth even Prideaux was
silenced for the time. Neither lie
nor Pelham was prepared for the
style and manner of this unexpected
visitor. She was a charming English
girl, apparently 20 years of age, or
even younger. She was well, but
quietly dressed, the salient Items of
her costume lielng a broad-brimmed
grey hat, a knitted jersey of French
grey silk, a cloth skirt of the same
shade, grey silk stockings nnd suede
.-hoes with silver buckles. Her
figure was slim nnd straight yet
elegant, with the noise of activity
and sue[ileness But it was her face
that compelled attention. While not
strikingly beautiful she had fine eyes
and a clear, sun-browned complexion.
Innocent of eosinetn s. Masses of
golden-brown hair iieepeil under her
hat nnd were colled above the nape
of a well-modelled neck. In a word,
die was typical of tlie best elements
of her race, and suggested the en
vironment of an English county
town rather than I.ondon.
Though obviously ill at ease, she
did not lose her self-possession at
sight of a somewhat flurried young
man.
"Yps,” she adid. ‘‘That is, if you
are Capt. Arthur Pelham?"
"I am," said Pelham. t
"Well, I have ventured to call be
cause—because of what happened
last night in front of Cedar bodge.”
CHAPTER III.
Tlx' Girl Who Didn't Want to Marry.
The mtTe cadence of her voice, the
even, well bred utterance of one ac
customed to good society, brought
Pelham to u sense of his gaucherie
in standing with a restraining hand
on the door, and staring at this pleas
ing apparition a ethough he rather
resented the intrusion.
"Please forgive me," he said, with
a helpful smile. "My wits are wool
gatherirtg, I'm afraid. Won't you
come in? I have a friend here, Mr.
Prldeaux.”
"Of Scotland Yard," put in the lit
tle man Instantly. Pelham gave him
a glance of ready appreciation, which
the detective did not fail to Interpret
correctly. From that Instant no bar
rier of distrust existed between those
two.
“Oh!" fluttered the girl, her blue
eyes, which had in them that rare
Asiatic tint known as blonde Kagoul,
betraying a shade of alarm.
"Yes,” said the detective, "I am
sure you prefer to know that at
on re. The mere mention of Scotland
Yard always frightens people. When
1 speak, more correctly, of the
criminal Inv* stlffntion department,
they grow pale with terror. Yet we
ale quite harmless folk, except, too
seldom, to evil-doers. My pet hobby
is a pretended omn'science. My Im
mediate chief, who is exactly twice
my size, cultivates sweet peas in ft
liatterseg garden, and becomes lyri
cal when he induces four blooms to
gattier on one stalk. Howeyar, if
Captain Pelham is too bewildered to
offer you a chair, let me deputise for
him.”
Pelham reddened, and turned to
the •fireplace to knock the ashes OTrt
of his pipe.
Please don't stop smoking on my
Recount," said the girl, more col
lectedly, showing that’ Prideaux had
attained his object.
