Goodby to the Sergeant.

Doherty was drilling with his squad Of
recruits in London. Doherty was nearly 6
feet inches in height, and at that time
the sergeant major was man whose
height was only feet inches. On this
day he approached the squad looking
sharply about him for some fault TO find.
All the men squared up except Doherty,
and the sergeant major at once accosted
him.
Head up there MANI called he Doh
erty raised his head slightly.
"Up higher, sir!'
The head was raised again. Then the
sergeant major managed, by standing on
his toes, to reach Doherty's chin, and he
pokcd 1t higher, with tho remark:
That's better. Don't let me see your
head down again"
BY this time everybody was Interested
at seeing Doherty staring away above the
sergeant majors head, when voice from
above said in rich brogue:
"Am 1 To be always like this, sergeant
major2'
Yes sir"
"Then I'll say goodby to ye, sergeant
major, for I'll niyer see yez again. Lon

| occupied by the Countess Claire Brodsky.
This was a startling bit OF information
to Stacey. To the ordinary man, perhaps,
| il would be nothing out of the ordinary
| for club servant TO be seen visiting a
| Fifth avenue residence by the rear way.
He was probably calling upon the domes-
tics.
But TO Stacey il had an entirely different
| aspect. 1t enabled him 10 indulge in
what he admitted TO be some of the wild
est guessing of his entire official career,
but which guessing was, nevertheless,
based upon what little OF fact he had
been able TO establish regarding the
double crime at "The Myrtle"
The result of his guessing was that he
Immediately dispatched an officer in citi-
zen's clothes 10 the clubhouse with war
rant for the arrest of Alfanse upon sight.
The officer shortly returned with the in
formation that Alfonso had resigned his
employ at "The Myrtle" the day before,
and that his residence and present where
abouts were unknown.
Then Stacey took the warrant into his
own hands, and, after swearing out
another one TO go with il, was hastily
driven in cab TO the Countess Brodsky's
residence. There he was met with the
information that the countess had that
morning quietly left the country on the
Etruria, intending TO return TO Russia,
and that her household effects were at that
moment being packed to be sent after
her. An inspection of the mansion by
the detective confirmed the statement that
the bird had flown.
But what of Alfonso? He had certainly
not left upon the Etruria, because it was
less than five hours since he had been GO
ing into the Fifth avenue house. But a
diligent search of the city by the metro
politan police, and close watch kept
upon departing steamers for weeks after
failed TO locate him, and he very likely
slipped away in some sort of disguise
and Joined the countess upon the other
side Of the Atlantic.
And so Stacey was bafiled, after all, and
the two warrants which he had sworn out
became so much waste paper.
But that his guesses in the matter were
not so wild as one might infer from the
facts at his disposition is proven by the
following statement from the head of the
Partisan police, which was transmitted
to Inspector Byrnes by cable two days
after the flight of the countess:
"Laroue and Narbon were members Of
a notorious revolutionary society of Mont
martre as ''Les Couteaux Rogues." Both
were fugitives from Russia, where they
were implicated in the Nihilstic out break
in Moscow on the night OF December 4,
Count Nicolai Brodsky." ~

The sunken, cat-lille eyes Of Alfonso, the
,uavity of his movements, and the close
ness with which he stuck to the detec-
tive's elbow, while the latter was making
his second and more complete examina-
tion OF the maroon-papered room, had
naturally drawn Stacey's attention to
him.
"You waited upon the parties i'm this

look out of one of the windows.

HOLIDAY LOVING FOLK.
Colonists OF New Zealand Experts In the
Art of Having a Good Time.


The colonists Of New Zealand are hol-
iday making people. There is almost an
average of one recognized holiday to a
month, and 1t is a common practice for all
working people to take two or more DAYS
at Christmas, the New Year and Easter
so as to make an unbroken playtime of
three or four days including Sundays.
Then the great mass of the people give
themselves up to amusement. Horse races,
athletic sports, boat races and excursions
are carried on in every available spot and
are attended by large and well behaved
crowds. The commonest OF all holiday
amuscments, however, is the picnic. The
several trades, sects and societies have pic
MICS of their own, TO which the public are
cordially welcomed on the payment of a
small sum toward the expense of the en-
tertainment.
1t Is amusing TO the railway traveller TO
note, as he passes through some pretty
countryside, not one or two, but perhaps
90 different picnics in full swing. each
numbering scores or hundreds of guests.
1t has been said, with much more truth
than Is usually TO be found in epigrams Of
this kind, that "in New Zealand people
are like cattle. You need only turn q
number of them into pasture and leave
them alone and they will be perfectly hap
py."
On a warm and tempting New Years
day an enterprising burglar might walk
through New Zealand city and help him
self, undisturbed, TO the contents of most
of the houses. Dwellings and streets are
alike deserted, and the casual soiourner
who does not understand the ways of the
place seeks in vain for somebody TO speak
