brilliant and ever rcstlessly moving, as
though to absorb all about her, attract

which mono resisted. 1t was no wonder
that the rays of genuine intelligence
shed by those orbs should have been mis-
taken for beauty, for, after all, it is ex-
pressiveness rather than symmetry of
lineament which men most admire in a
woman.
When at rest, there were hard, set
lines about the mouth which, to the
physiognomist, Enthusiastically proclaim

power and logged persistence which
Squire Olney had truly mentioned as
characteristic traits Mr.. Barnes had said
that he would. not expect to surprise her
again into betrayal of herself or her
purposes, and in this he showed a keen
perception.
She had been very much startled by
the abrupt entrance Of the two men and
their subsequent announcement that
they were detectives She noticed that
Mr.. Barnes had kept the empty car
fridge shell which had dropped from her
lap, but in the moment of her surprise
she had not time to decide upon the
best course consistent with whatever
purpose'she was bent upon accomplish
ing. When they left her, she sat down
and meditated for some time. Present
ly she arose, and it was evident that her
plan had been formulated She took the
pistol from the cabinet, where Mr..
Barnes shrewdly guessed that it was
Whatever had been her reason for re-
moving the shell which Mr.. Barnes had
taken it was plain that she now consid-
cred her purpose unattainable. Opening
the drawer Of her bureau, she took
therefrom small mahogany box, which
she unlocked. In it were several paste
board packages Of ball cartridges. One,
however, contained shells which had
been exploded. She next withdrew u

rested upon the indentation in the rim.
Thus it is evident that if she had re-
moved from this pistol the empty shell
which Mr. Barnes had picked up she
must have reloaded the weapon prior to
his entrance. Now she was restoring it
to its original condition. She threw the
pistol on the bed, as though DESTROYS
that it should be readily found.
Next she opened drawer of the cab

paper. One of these was duplicate of

possessed a charming face she could be
called neither handsome nor beautiful.
Small, well chiseled features, rosy,
pert little mouth, piercing black eyes,

were the salient points in her favor. In

tary instruction.
Adjutant General Brock is a strong adj
vocate of military training in the advanced
grades of the public schools, as is evidenced
by the following extract from a recent re-
port made by him in regard to the detail
of army officers to military colleges as
professors of military science and tactics:
THE good work of the officers, Lieuts.
Penn and Clement, who, with the consent
of the War Department, successfully COM
manded the battalion of the Omaha High
School Cadets is steadily increasing The
battalion is now organized with four uni
formed companies, drum corps, and one
ununiformed company, with the regulation
number of officers and non-commisSoned
officers. The average attendance at all
drills was 24S. The uniforms, costing only,
complete, $12.65, proved very satisfactory.
as shown by the fact that over POO were
voluntarily purchased. The system of in
struction embraced Simply setting up ex-
ercises. squad and company drills, with &C.
casional lectures and parades. AS but two
hours per week were devoted to drills, the
the course of studies, proving, in fact, a
healthy and highly beneficial variation.
High schools embrace an element of our
population that makes our greatest mill
tary strength that is not extensively reach
ed through the class of educational insti-
tutions to which officers are assigned as
professors Of military science and tactics.
With a view, however, to the dissemination
of some of the clements of military instruc-
tions to our youths at the most receptive
condition of mind, high schools are logical
detectives, but it appears that a capable
sergeant could in general perform these
duties without calling upon officers for
them"
