Once he bad hold of 3RO0 acres of Brazos river bottom land and put everything he had into it until he had 2500 acres of "land well well with watered, equipped houses, well tenanted, and well sto ked." Then came the floods and after a while "all the houses had gone down the river, as well as the mules I had and my hogs and cattle and crops, with niv tenants left starving on the bank "I got myself a plank and I got some charcoal, "I he related nailed that plank at tbe high water mark, and here is what I wrote on that plank. It expressed the way I felt then and the way I feel now: "Farewell to the Brazos bottom, I bid you a long adieu; I may migrate to hell some day But I will ntver return to you ' And after this outburst of poesy Buchanan added: "From that day to this I have been the relentless enemy of flood water anywhere and everywhere, and if I can contribute by unvoice or by my vote or by m work to the prevention of floods throughout this union, I shall make more that contribution cheerfully than I ever made any contribution in my life.

T HAVE to acknowledge your memo of todays date, together with tabled repoit from Scotland Yaid upon Mr. Blane, the Bishop of Bude, Lady Weltva and Mr. ar.d Mrs. Jocelyn; also about Mr. llay-asfrom the Japanese police; the identification particulars of George ("Slick) Daniels, alias Count Poxoditn; and the information supplied by you about Mr. and Miss Rocksavage. Last night 1 decided that it would be a good thing to have a talk with Nicholas Stodart in older to find out ftom him as many about particulars as possible Blanes life and affairs. I therefore suggested that he should join me for dinner as all my meals are served separately in the small writing room m which I am conducting my examinations. He agreed readily enough, but the meal did not prove a particularly happy one as Stodart has a small abscess and, on account of this, is suffering somewhat with his false teeth, which gave him pain when eating solids. Ke is also very distressed by his employer's death which leaves him without a situation, and I gather, very little money. He talked quite freely, however, and the following is such information as I gleaned from this interview. I t GATHERED TALK WITH BLANES SECRETARY, PARTICULARS FROM A NICHOLAS STODART.

He is His history is as follows 48 years of age ahd Wds boin at Felixstowe, Suffolk, England. His mother died at the time of his birth and his father was employed in the Indian Forestry Department. During his early childhood Stodart lived with a maiden aunt, the sole surviving member of his mothers family, to whom she had come home when she was about to have her baby. The aunt was killed in a railway accident, however, when Stodait was eight years of age, and so he was sent to a boarding school in Felixstowe and he never saw his father, except during four periods of leave at intervals of several years, until he was sixteen, when he It ft school and went out to live with his father in India For the next few yeais he studied accountancy and, having served an apprenticeship with Messrs Wayne, Robins & Co , ot Calcutta, he succeeded in obtaining a position with the Ranaga Rubber Company His duties with this company entailed visits to n six-ye- TROTSKY SUIT Leon Trotsay, exiled Bolshevist leader, plans to bring a hb' I suit n Communis' against a newspaper in New York for calling him an "assassin."

Trotsky wants to do thus through the medium of an American court.

Right now I'm smitten again. My first secret love as a boy was for a circus lady who was tossed hither and yon high up in the top of a tent by some athletic gentlemen. I only saw her once, and of course she never knew how my young heart beat for her. But all that was a long tune ago and I recovered fully. In recent years I've been fairly fortunate in falling in love with distant maidens ut the rate of about one every two years First it was Miss Shirley Temple during the first couple of years she was in the public eye in the days when her dainty lisp was perfectly r Rural and her pietty dimples were untrained. Then, about the time Shirley was becoming a little along came Miss Yvonne Dionne and completely stole my heart away. She has been a sweetheart of mine almost since her first baby picture was taken. I still adore her. But now comes another gorgeous creature, more dangerous because she is a natural coquette, and kicks my susceptible heart around as if it were a football. Miss Sonja Heine, of course! Oh, for the pen of a Dante, that I might write melhfluously and feeling of her charms and her glories! What grace' What glowing, effervescent youth' What poise, and what a disarming, wholly captivating smile! They say Sonja "skates." But what a wholly inadequate word, and how ugly it is when applied to the musical liquidity of motion that is Sonja. I'retiy as a rosebud. Gentle as a snowflake. Graceful as a rainbow. Sonja!
