CHAPTER XXI.

Mrs. Kits companion sprang to his
feet and drew a murderous-looking
knife.
He seemed about to rush into the de-
tective's presence, but the woman
grasped his arm and held him back.
The two whispered together earnestly
for a moment, and then Mrs. kits re-
turned to the apartment in which Pax
ton remained, and presently the man
also sauntered IN, while the detective
unsuspectingly continued to work at his
accounts.
Unobserved by Paxton, the man TO
whom Mrs. kits had communicated her
startling discovery regarding our friend,
carelessly worked his way along until
he was behind Paxton's chair.
But while Mother kits and her con-
federate were both plotting against the
detective, the latter had taken advantage
of their absence to secure letter which
he had discovered at the moment Of his
entrance partially concealed under a
sofa.
Paxton naturally surmised that the
misslve had been lost by some one, and
he concealed 1t on his person as he pick
ed it up, intending to improve the first
favorable opportunity to read it.
In order to divert the attention of the
detective from her confederate, Mrs.

the moment she returned to the outer
apartment after warning the confederate
regarding her discovery.
The cunning creature conversed about
her business affairs in the most natural
and unconeerned manner in the world.
Paxton replied as best he could, but
now that she had detected his disguise,
the woman craftily shaped her remarks
so that his replies served to confirm Ael
suspicious.
The detective sat close to a window
which was closed by a heavy outside
shutter
While Mrs. kits was talking, and
while her confederate gained position
in PaxtOn's rear, the latter heard 4
faint, scarcely audible tapping on the
window shutter without.
1t was only by the exertion Of a su
preme effort that Paxton avoided giving
a violent start, which would have
awakened a suspicion in the mind Of tbs
old woman that something was wrong.
He recognized the tapping on thu
window shutters as an imitation Of thi

ITO BE CoErIsUED.l
Shoe Sizes.

A third Of an inch gives US full
size in length Of shoe; sixth fur
ufshes the intermediate point between
two sizes, the saving of which is de-
sirable, if practicable; a small frac-
tion of breadth goes a good way in
securing comfort, and in girth of bali
or instep an infinitesimal part Of an
inch is sometimes an ell of freedom;
a quarter of an inch is a good deal Of
letting down or eleVating at the heel,
and the difference of a sixteenth is
readily perceptible at the sole. For
these reasons, sudden and extreme
changes in size or weight Of shoes are
injudicious. Even the paper sole"
(Which ought never to be worn in any
place., should be replaced by one only
a little thicker at first. After the
summer shoe the proper thing is one
of medium weight before the winter
article is in order, and even that does
not now mean thick, cumbersome
shoe, as it once did.
Very few shoe statesmen have a
stock of patience that will hold out
beyond the trying on of the sixth pair
of shoes for a woman customer. The
lacing or buttoning of this number is
considerable labor of itself; then with
each new one tried there is the usual
amount of preliminary talk about
style, price, etc. cover there is a
woman, says dealer, who has tried
on nine pairs, and she feels worse
than the clerk about it. She proba-
tPbly has a peculiarly-shaped foot, and
none of the shoes, thus far, feel COM
Portable to her. In such a case, if
the clerk shows WEAKNESS, he loses
his customer"
The alleged preference of women
in quest of shoes to be waited upon
by male rather than female clerks is
probably due to the fact that the for
mer can tell them more about shoes
and leather than the latter. Many a
pair Of shoes is sold by the aid of a
little judiclous shoe lore, even if part
ly unintelligible to the buyer. In the
matter Of patience, there isn't much
difference between the seXes.-Shoe
and Leather Reporter.

In answer to the accusation that
girls of the period tax too heavily the
purses OF their escorts to ball or thea

that young men should not keep
the state of their finances such
a profound secret. She says: There

she thought that its cost was a seri-
Gus item to her escort The average

but is filed with a fierce desire to

manner remained as composed as be-
fore.
But suddenly he turned around upon
the man behind him, who contemplated
attacking him. and said, carelessly;
Give me a chew of tobacco.
AS the detective wheeled about the
wretch, who had his knife In his hand
suddenly concealed 1t.
He was taken by surprise, and he
stammered:
box"
As he spoke he presented a tobacco
box.
Paxton carelessly arose and reached
out as If to take the box which the other
held out to him, but instead Of so doing
he shot his hand by the box and sud
denly eIutched the fellow throat. With
all his power he hurled him aside.
Then he bounded to the street door.
Mrs, kits had taken the precaution
to lock the door, and she had removed
the key.
AS Paxton gained the door there came
a heavy rap upon it from the street side.
open the door, old woman, if you do
not desire the police force I have sta
toned without to break it down, said
Paxton calmly.
Mother Kits was surprised and
alarmed.
She could not comprehend how Pax
ton had discovered that his disguise was
penetrated, as it was clear to her he
must have done.
She was alarmed at the coming of the
police, whom she feared, and she did not
doubt that they were at the door in force
and she made haste to unlock it.
The man whom Paxton had handled
| so roughly picked himself up, and stood
! glaring at the detective like some fero-
cious animal that feared to make leap
and yet longed to do so.
AS he heard the knock on the door, and
also heard Paxton inform the old woman
that the police were at the door, the
desperate suddenly changed his mind,
though he had been about to attack the
| detective.

An Optimist's view OF the world.

The race of men is steadily growing
better. Only a few centuries ago the
bulk Of the people were on very low
planes, and the good and the gifted
were few, but to-day the condition is
reversed; the great masses of the
people are on much higher planes
with only a tattered remnant exist
ing like savages. Bad as the world is,
the improvement upon two centuries
ago is immense. To-day one-third Of
the families of our country have an
nual incomes of 81, 900 a year and up
ward. Every age is a battlefield for
warning elements, and the fight is a
determined one, with the good ele-
ments always gaining and the bad
elements losing ground. Slowly but
surely the ranks of evil grow thinner.
The sum of law, order, honor, integ-
rity, happiness and charity which
tends to make nations happy and
more prosperous is immensely larger
than formerly. The struggle has
been hard and long and bloody.
While IL takes time and patience and
the meeting of much which appears
retrogressive, we can in the main
agree in the sentiment,
Ever the right comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done

A GIrantic Temple.

In Seringham, India, is the larg-
est heather temple in the world. 1t
is a square, each side being a mile In
length, so that it is four miles round.
The walls are twenty-five feet high,
and for or five feet thick, and in the
center of each wall rises a lofty
tower. Entering the first square you
come to another. with a wall as high
and four more towers. Within that
square there is another, and within
that again another-and you will find
seven squares, one within another,
crowded by thousands OF Brahmins.
The great hall for pilgrims is sup
ported by 1000 pillars, each cut out
a single block Of stone.

seeking to capture her and the supposed
assassin.
This last defeat shall not prove a
Waterloo for me, he added resOlutely.
In safety he and his companion
emerged from the dangerous locality
into which their quest had led them, and
then they parted.
No more of this work for me. To-
morrow leave with my wife and child
Tor the far West, where I shall begin
new life. I want to leave the old way
behind me forever. We shall never meet
again, Paxton, said Saul Hedden, and
then the two men shook hands cordially.
Success to you, Hedden. Stick to
your good resolution, and life will yet
be to you worth living, said the detect
i've.
Hedden turned away, and Paxton
never met him again, but some years
later ne heard that he was prosperous
and happy in the far Western land,
where he had gone in quest of a new
life
In the morning the detective met Stan
more.
The latter had called at Paxton s
Office by appointment.
Stanmore listened eagerly, and he was
inwardly much disturbed, as the detee-
tive saw, despite his efforts to preserve
his equanimity.
But Stanmore's faith in Marion Oak
burn was mistaken by what he heard
He was loyal to his belief in Marion 8
innocence.
He protested that if the real truth was
ever unearthed, 1t would then be known
that the cashiers daughter was true
/ hearted, noble girl. Thus he had always
defended Marion.
In the course of a conversation which
ensued, Paxton produced the letter
which he had distracted from the pack
| age of correspondence which the cOrO-
ner had found in John Oakburn's safe.
He read the letter to the detective.
Stanmore's face assumed a strange
| expression as he listened, and when
/ Paxton read the name, Donald Way
| burn, with which the latter was signed,
| he started violently.
And what Importance do you attach
/ to that letter." he asked.
| The greatest.
in what way? Please make yourself
clear" said Stanmore.
Paxton thereupon explained how he
/ had put circumstances together and
/ formed the theory that possibly the au-
thor of the threatening letter, Donald
/ Wayburn, and the suspected man who
carried the skeleton Keys TO Garrison g
ONCE might prove to be one and the
same.
In silence Stanmore listened until
Paxton concluded, and then said:
Your theory does not strike me as q
probable one. Iwould think no more OF
attempting to connect this Wayburn
with the case, it seems to me.
Pratt and Weeks, as we are aware,
thanks to the discovery of marked
money in their possession, must be in
some way connected with John Oak
burns murder. Through them, hope
the key to the mystery will reach US,
he added.
The conversation soon ended aftel
| this.
The following morning Paxton was OF
his way to his office, when, as he passed
the clearinghouse where Levi Kredgt
had lived, he saw a rag-picker overhaul
ing the contents of an ash barrel stand
i ing in a passage, leading to the rear O.
the house. Prompted by a new idea
Paxton paused for moment.

Making Thread.

In the manufacture of a spool of
thread, wad of the finest Sea Island
cotton is taken in the raw state and
torn in pieces by an apparatus called
a breaker. By being run through
several other pieces it is freed from
its impure associates, to be then
twisted into soft yarn by means Of
a slipper" A fine thread is then
made by twisting together several
strands of this yarn. Six-cord thread
is then produced by twisting together
three of these fine threads, after
which it is bleached and is then
ready for market.

New Car Roof.

Something new and novel in the
way Of a metal car roof has been
brought out. 1t is made of cor
rugated iron or steel, which gives
great stiffness between the car lines.
Two styles Of the roof are made, one
with cOrrugations close together, and
the other with a fiat space for ease in
passing from one car to another. The
advantages claimed for this form of
roof are that it is perfectly water
tight, is easily repaired, and is cheap
and strong. To prevent the train
men from slipping in passing to and
fro, narrow strip Of wood can he
attached to the roof.

Explosive Paper.

Almost any good unsized paper can
be made into an explosive compound
by coating it with hot mixture Of
yellow prussiate of potash and char
coal. Take each of these, II parts,
mixed with refined saltpetre 80 parts,
chloride Of potassium 20 parts, wheat
starch 10 parts, and water 1900 parts.
The ingredients must be dissolved
until they form a clear solution in
the water Dip the paper and soak
it in the solution until it is
thoroughly wet. 1t then may be
dried, rolled into cartridges and
fired in the ordinary manner, either
with fuse or with decorating caps
similar to those used in firing cannon
or dynamite when used in blasting
lodges.
