FAKE MURDERER,
BUDDING NOVELIST
HAS HERO AND HEROINE KISS
ING IN FIRST AND ONLY
CHAPTER.
By United Press
BUFFALO, N. Y April 12. 'Koy
Harris, the youth who tried apd failed
to make himselt out tile murderer in
Now York3 most sensational society
mystery, the Elwell killing, has been
caught redhanded as an amateur nov
elist. Following his confession that
the story of the Elwell killing was an
unmitigated fako, the police gave out
the manuscript of the first and only
chapter of Harri3' first novel.
It starts like this:
"'You hit the nail on the head'.
Al. That's what I cravo, an introduc
tion to one who boasts of respecta
bility. I'm sick Of vamping the dam
sel's ' declared Hugh Palmer, with all
the sincerity that was within him.
'"Well, then, Hughoy. lomortov, we
will run down to the Peahodya and
when you meet his Utile daughter,
Pansy, why, your deiix:. will hav
been realized', ro.iliel Dili Todd.
"Todd passed the pe.'feutos and in
the cloud of smoke iha: t-ame there
from, Hugh co;nl s'ee the vision of
'one who boasted respectabllitv.
"Palmer had o.ni!)' .o New York
from the Coast to take charge of his
father's business interests. Todd was
an old friend from the university out
in Seattle. Naturally as he delighted
from the western Unified, a telephone
booth was visited and he called up
every Todd in the book, finally suc
ceeding in locating his partner,.
They resumed their old intimate
companionship, leasing an apartment
facing the river. Every night, saw
them in the lobbies of the theatres
and later at a table of one of the
midnight roof productions. After a
while Palmer became acquainted with
Mildred of the Varieties, and Dollie
of the Revue and Phyllis, the petite,
the dancer at Rymans. The sky was
the only limit in life. Back in 'Seattle
he had left little Betty and more than
once since coming to the gay metropo
lis his thoughts wandered back to her
and the bungalow on the ocean front
where they had often drawn sketches
of the future together.
.. ..The tw.o friends, commuted down to
the Peabody place next morning, be
ing met by Peabody. Here, with his
"luxurious limousine" and driven to
his "palatial home" where he "dis
missed the chauffeur." Hugh re
framed from remarking on the "Per
sian rugs, imported gardinlors and
tapestries, being no social longhorn
even though fresh from the West."
After contact with "liveried servants
who removed their discarded apparel"
they met Pansy. At 'lunch Hugh, in
his breezy western way, quaffed three
cups of tea, amid much refined ban
ter as to his appetite.
(Later in the evening, a(f.er all the
others "had retired to their sleeping
chambers" Hugh and Pansy went out
on the porch, Hugh having suggested
Ingenuously that they "get the bene
fit of a little night air."
"'There is just room here for you,
Mr. Palmer," she suggested, moving
over the big armchair.
"Just (Hughey, please,' was h.ls
reply. 'I think I'll accept as a am
rather uncomfortable on this little
chair.'
"She placed her arms about his
neck and kissed him again and again"
and thus ends chapter number one,
the only chapter to date.

EGQ OF PASSENGER ,
PIGEON WORTH $1,000
By United Press
URBAN A, 111., April 12 How would
you like to buy a dozen eggs, guaran
teed stale, for $12,000? With prices
of ordinary "hen fruit" fluttering back
to near reasonable levels, $1,000
seems high for any egg, but that is
the estimated value of a single egg in
the Natural History Museum of the
University of Illinois here. It is the
egg of a passenger pigeon, an Ameri
can bird now extinct, The egg was giv
en to the University by T. E. Mussel
man, a former student.
The last known passenger pigeon
died in the Cincinnati Zoological Gar
dens about five years ago. Following
the bird's death, the American Orni
thologists' Union offered $7,000 to
anyone proving the existence of a
nesting pair, but none of the original
species was ever discovered.
Passenger pigeons were one so nu
merous in the Mississippi valley that
their migrations darkened the sky.

the three elements get together.
It is declared plans for business

CLECTRAC FARMERS A WEEK
AHEAD IN SPRING
Clectrac farmers are first in the fields every
year. Even a late spring doesn't worry them their
Clectracs get right into the fields and start work
a week ahead of their neighbors.
There are no delays with a fleet of Clectracs on
the job. The tank-type tracks ride easily over the
soft, wet ground. They do not dig in or mire in the
soggy spots.
With the Clectrac fleet its easy to get plowing
and fitting done and be ready for those few days
when conditions are just right for planting. And
i one Clectrac should be laid up, the others easily
shoulder the extra load and the work goes right on.
"Selecting Your Tractor"
tells all about how Clectrac reduces production
costs on raising farm produce. Come in and get
your copy.
