Guide Book Descriptions and lTp-to- Dale Surrey of City, Fall to r Make Close Tally. t By William Philip Simms, (United Press Stall Correspondent.) . WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN THE FIELD, March 9. Baedeker In hand, 'as any tourist might have done three years ago, I have Just "revisited" Arras, now certainly one of the most wonderful cities in the world At I stood on the platform of the roofless railway station, by the side of a large hole recently dug by a German shell, I took out my little red book entitled "Baedeker's Northern France," a handy volume prepared by a German. At my back, less than a thousand yards away, ran the Ger man trenches. The spasmodic plop- plop-plop of machine guns, the oc casional hollow sound of trench mor tars, and the boom of bursting pro jectiles were distinctly audible, keep ing up an unending symphony of high explosives, while around me, in the ruins of a once attractive station, a cold rain splashes down drearily into waiting rooms, ticket booths, baggage . depots and the cafe. Be tween the rails high weeds grew. On the concrete platforms shattered glass crunched beneath one's heels. From overhead now and then came a noiBe as of an Incoming train, but it was only shells in flight. . Good luck brought me a local guide, to supplement the German one, a Frenchman, a hunchback with an old and pinched face covered with J jmu- wmca wouia not be called a tainlng the $500 note and the chock which had been given for it, and which had been returned cancelled from the First National Bank. The check she burned, he Bald. With the vigilance of his captors somewhat relaxed, Rawllngs man aged to free his arms, drew a knife from his pocket and cut the rope se curing his feet. His efforts wore of no avail, however, for he was Im mediately pounced on by Mrs. Bailey, he declared, the knife taken from him, and his arms and legs onro more tied. It was then that she tried to pour whisky and laudanum down his throat, he said. He believed that this mixture formed the contents of the bottle which she urged upon him because she stated that these two ingredients were present, he declared. When the attempt to moke him drink was unsuccessful, the bottle was re placed on a table, and squirming close to it, he knocked the flask to the floor, spilling its contents. Was Closely Watched. In the evening, he was loosed, but kept under the most strict sur veillance, and on the following day. he remained a prisoner in the house. He was not stinted for food or drink. he said, but he inspected closely all that was offered for his consump tion, fearing that a second attempt to poison him might be made. At about 8 o'clock on the evening of Tuesday', February 27, he was tak en back to his own home. The woman led his horse, while he rode, unbound. Arrived at the house, Mrs. Bailey instructed her son to search his ef fects, with the result that the deed Manager Rudow's Saturday mat liit'o offering for the young folks this week Includes two screen plays.

Saturduy evening, William Russell will be seen In "The Man Who Would Not Die," a striking picture full of exciting Incidents of the efforts to take a well known man's life. There will also bo shown the Patho News and a Qoorgo Ovoy Cub comedy. Grand Theatre. The Grand Theatre Is presenting a trio of stars tonight, William Dun can, George Holt and Nell Siiipman, I in "Through the Hole." a master crlmlnnl-dotcctlve story, of Holdel mann, who attempts all sorts of dep redations upon life to obtain a largo fortune. This trio of stars have con tributed much to make this play a big success. Bond Theatm. Evidence of the growing popular ity of "The Shielding Shadow" was shown last night at tho Bend Theatre at the showing of the third episode of the play featuring Hasol Darmond and "One Lamp Louie." The serial promises to wax with unusual events before many chapters aro shown. This film will be shown again tonight. In her now play, "Loss Than the Dust," to be see n at Sunday's mat inee and Sunday and Monday night at tho Demi Theatre, Mary Plckford has tho role of a little castaway of 'English hlrth who lias been reared among natives of tho lowest caste of India. llr father having become i a social derelict and having no moth .nr, sho Is given over to a native sword , miner mm iieru biiu Brown up nnu becomes one of the people.

One of the scones shows a street In nu Indian city with Its shops and bniaurs and all of the color and over changing views of an eastern thor oiighfure. Another shows tho Brit ish garrison and still another, the great stone temple and ,tha pool of tho sacred waters, whllo another tit fectlve plcturo Is mado of a storm in tho desert. The story is full of dra matte force and Mary Plckford's part Is a blending of the delightful com edy, winsomoness and innocence that give her portrayals of the part such an appealing girlish charm.

Masquer- udes uud costume fetes curtalnly seem to be growing on us. If only tho costumes themselves could grow on us It wouldn't be so expensive Dressing up Is the universal Joy of all nges and all nationalities. In all walks of life we find a penchant for It from Infancy, when we are Just beginning to toddle, till old ago, when we are JUBt beginning to totter. Thero's this vast difference though between the dressing up of child hood and tho dressing up of matur ity. All you have to give the chil dren ns an excuse for dressing up Is bit of old ribbon or a discarded hat, hut as an excuso for tho dress ing up of grownups you have to glvo an Arabian Knight's ball or an Old World foto.

Carlson & Lyons WALL STREET near Crly to Bend to stop the recording of the , deed. Witness CorrbUKlied. C. S. Hudson, president of the First National Bank, corroborated the de tails of the financial transactions between Rawllngs and Mrs. Bailey, but in regard to the 14500 check, said he knew nothing of it. Accord ing to Rawllngs' testimony, Mrs. Bailey had stated that she sent the check to H. C. Ellis, of Bend, for collection, but Mr. Hudson said that on aBking Mr. Ellis in regard to the matter, the latter had declared that he had never received the .paper. As far as was brought out by the testi mony, no one but Rawllngs and Mrs. Bailey had ever seen the check. An extract from a letter written to the bank by Rawllngs asking the return of the $500 note, read, "That mvsterious Mrs. Rawllngs wants to settle, . Trying to get money. Lots of trouble." Dr. R. L. Edwards testified to hav ing examined Rawllngs, finding ab rasions and bruises on the hands, torearms, and shins, which patient claimed were caused by the ropes with which ha was bound.
