While Mrs. Brunen paled, and Mohr moved nervously about in his chair, while the breathless spec tators leaned forward in their seats, spellbound by the amazing story. Powell made a clean breast of the crime from its conception to the night he fired the shot through a window point-blank at the man whose wife, he said, knew of the plot. "When we reached Riverside," the witness declared, "Mohr told me that Brunen was going to New York the next morning and would not be liaek for three daya He said the job had to be done that night. 'Don't miss, Charlie,' he told me, 'even if you have to use the two barrels. If you miss John will have Us all arrested, even you" ' "I went to the Brunen home.

I had the gun and ran to the window. I could just see his Jiead. 1 pulled the trigger of the shotgun as the train passed. Then 1 turned and ran away. I ran down back of the railroad station, where 1 met Harry in his automobile." Poweil was permitted to testify over the objection of the defense that he was mentally unfit to appear.

The Real Christmas Spirit THERE is a sense of dignity and of understanding attached to the gift, of a book that is in no way affected by its price. Books have ever been among the most cherished pos sessions of cultured people. Why not give books? , Some Books of Permanent Value Choose From the Best New Fiction BOOKS AND CHARACTERS by Lytton Strachey This new book of biography and literary criticism con tains 15 chapters and ranges from Eighteenth Century France to the Victorian Age. Every page is a real light. THE OUTLINE OF SCIENCE by J, Arthur Thompson Thi-s remarkable work in four volumes is uniform with a, handsome edition of Wells' "Outline of History.": Professor Thompson is one of the half dozen leading scientists of the day and his position assures authority for the great work the clear, candid, compact, exact story of evolution and scientific -discoveries. "VVm. Beebe in the New York Times says: "These vol umes should be read by every human being whose mind and eyes are now and then lifted to the stars and birds, no matter where the body may be." These volumes contain over 800 illustrations, including1 ibout 40 color plates and more than 1200 pages of text. Price per set $18.00. . ," THE MOST IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF WALTER H. PAGE, by Burton J. Kendricks Lawrence Abbott, in a recent-review of this book in the Outlook Magazine says: "Not only delightful reading be cause of their literary and personal charm and because of the authority with which they report the inner workings of American diplomacy, but they are extraordinarily im pressive as a revelation of genius in statesmanship which Page himself possesses.'' "Walter H. Page was American Ambassador from the United States to Great Britain from 1913 to 1918 and "His Life and Letters" constitute an edition of permanent value to the great books of the time. "UPSTREAM99 An American Chronicle, by Ludwig Lewisohn is quite generally conceded to be, alon1 with "The Ameri canization of Edward Bach," the mtst important auto biography since "The Education of Henry Adams." In addition to being an important contribution to American literature, it has color, finish and eloquence. BABBITT, by Sinclair Lewis is said by a famous critic to be "twice as good as 'Main Street.' " It is also the best selling of new novels. CARNAC'S FOLLY, by Sir Gilbert Parker A robust, tale which reveals all the power and beauty of "The Seats of the Mighty." It is a story you will long remember. THE BRIGHT SHAWL by Joseph Hergesheimer A gorgeously romantic story laid in Cuba and done in the best style of the author of "Java Head." t THE VEHEMENT FLAME by Margaret Deland One famous critic -says of this. Miss Deland's latest book: " 'The Awakening of Helena Richie' and 'The Iron Woman' made Miss Deland famous some years ago. 'The Vehement Flame' is another of the same kind but a bigger and better novel than either of the O'.hers." THIS FREEDOM, by A. M. S. Hutchinson author of "If Winter Comes," is the strongest story of the two and deserves, says the Boston Herald, to be rated as the best novel of the year. BROKEN BARRIERS, by Meredith Nicholson The story of Grace Durland and how she faces life when family reverses throw her into the ranks of department store workers. A strong and vitally interesting story. FAJR HARBOR, by Joseph C. Lincoln is the latest chuckle provoking story of one of America's most consistently humorous writers. The quaint characters are lovabie clear through and Cap'n Kendrick.and the group of cantankerous women folk in his care are as richly humorous mortals as have ever been caught between the covers of a novel. FOUR SQUARE, by Grace S. Richmond is a captivating, clean and lovely romance of Mary Fletcher and Mark Fenn. Good to read alone or read aloud. CAPTAIN BLOOD, by Rafael Sabatini A glorious romance of love and adventure on the Spanish Main by the author of "Scar Mouche." CAPPY RICKS RETIRES, by Peter B. Kyne The countless thousands who loved Cappy Ricks, the grand old man of American fiction, will revel in this new book in which Cappy, though retired, is more active than ever. " We have a few autographed copies available. Laughter unlimited is perhaps the best comment one can make on that clever book of humor, "MY NORTHERN EXPOSURE" by Walter E. Traprock, Author of "The Cruise of the Kawa" It is an account of the adventures of the redoubtable Traprock and party, who set out to discover the real North Pole but undertake their voyage in a most unusual manner.
