And. indeed, had only taken half a
dozen pulls al my pipe when a four

Holmes, the detective; two policemen,
and my servant, Burns, with handouts

"What does this mean?" asked.
The detective came into the house and
shut the door-the cab drove off-and
I mechanically followed him into the
library.
There he turned and faced me.

how to set about placing bombs in
Westminster Abbey before the coming
royal marriage-in order to blow up
the whole royal party.

put the anarchists of the scentand help
the authorities to catch them al to

Besides, she wanted to pretend she
had not given information. She knew
anarchists and their ways, and feared
their vengeance. She little knew their
skill. They contriyed this very even

How are you, Dick, my boy?"

How are you, father"
Then, without another word, but feel
ing as if all the blood in my body had
suddenly flown TO my face, drew from
my vest pocket the wretcheG coin that
I had carried about with me since the
keeper Of the refreshment saloon had
handed il back to me.
Father, it is a bad one" said
a bad oue!" he repeated, looking at
it. "Why, of course it is! Easy to see

For moment his face bore a fixed

who had been eagerly listening, and, l

me. that he surmised something of the
situation.

Sumcieuf Reward.

John Howe, the famous Puritan d.
vine, became Cromwells chaplain in
1857. He was much respected by men
of all parties, and in the ticklish times
of the Commonwealth his help and pro-
lection were often asked for, and never
in vain Yet he was never known to
ask a favor for himself. In "The Life
and Work Of John Howe" this incident
is given: One day Cromwell took no
tice Of this self-denial, saying TO him:
"You have begged fayors for everyone
but yourself Mr.. Howe. When will
your own turn Gomez" To which Howe
returned this answer: "My lord pro-
tector, my turn is always come when l
can serve another."-Youth's Com
panion.
