Bees III War Messengers.

From Russia comes suggestion to
the effect that honey bees should be
tried as military messengers in place
of homing pigeons. 1t is urged that
for such purposes they would be
preferable to birds in more than one
way, inasmuch as they could hardly
be intercepted, and it would certain
ly be out of the question for the most
skillful marksman to hit such a car
rier. AS for their size and small car
rying power, a bee could transport
good deal in the shape of docu-
ments, if the latter were transferred
by micro-ph GEOGRAPHY to a minute
piece of paper. This piece of paper
might be fastened to the insects
back, and on the arrival of the lit
tie messenger at it's destination. the
writing could easily be enlarged. The
homing instinct of bee is as strong
as that of a pigeon, and its method
of finding its way to it's hive is the
same as that whereby the bird gets
back to its cote from great dis
tance.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

my fullest consideration. As Kitwa-
ter had observed, there was no time
to waste if we desired to lay our
hands upon that slippery Mr.. Hayle.

him, it is by no means an easy thing
for criminal to fly the country I'M

different. / had only my own and
the exertions of few and trusted
servants to rely upon, and it was
therefore impossible for us to watch
all the various backdoors leading
out of England at once. When I
had finished my dinner I strolled
down the Strand as far as Charing
Cross station. Turner was to leave
for st. Petersburg that night by the
mail train, and / had some instruc-
tions to give him before his depar-
ture. found him in the act of at
tending to the labelling of his lug
gage, and, when he had seen it safe

platform together. warned him Of
the delicate nature of the operation
he was about to undertake, and babe
him use the greatest possible care
that the man he was to watch did
not become aware of his intentions.
Directly he knew for certain that
this man was about to leave Rus
STA, he was to communicate with me
by cipher, and with my representa-
tive in Berlin, and then follow him
with all speed to that city himself.
AS had good reason to know, he
was shrewd and intelligent fellow,
and one who never forgot any in
structions that might be given him.
Knowing that he was great votary
of the Goddess Nicotine, gave him
few cigars to smoke on the way to

CHAPTER v.

I must confess that the discovery
/ had made behind st. Martins
churctTan which described at the
end of the previous chapter, had
proved too much for me. What pos
sible reason could Mr.. Bayley have
for wanting to rid himself of me?
Only the morning before he had been
anxious to secure my services in the
interests of his company, and now
here he was hiring couple of ruff
fans to prevent me from doing my
work, II not to take my life. When
I reached my hotel again, and went
to bed, lay awake half the night

me, and almost before I realized
what he was doing, he was making
his way through the crowd in the
direction of the main entrance.
Without another word to Turner, I
set off in pursuit, knowing that he
was going to make his bolt, and that
II missed him now it would prob
ably be my last chance of coming to
grip with him. Never before had the
platform seemed so crowded. An ex-
asperating lady, with lanky youth
at her side, hindered my passage,
porters with trucks piled with lug
gage barred the way just when I
was getting along nicely; while, as
was about to make my way out
into the courtyard, an idiotic French
man seized me by the arm and i'm
plored me to show him "ze Office Of
re money-changaire." I replied
angrily that did not know, and ran
out into the portico, only to be in
time to see Gideon Hayle take a seat
in hanson. He had evidently given
his driver his instructions, for the
man whipped up his horse, and went
out of the yard at speed which, at
any other hour, would certainly have
got him into trouble with the police.
l called up another cab and jumped
into it, promising the man SOW
ereign as did so, if he would keep
the other cab in sight, and find out
for me it's destination.
Right We are, sir" the cabman re-
piled. "You jest leave that to me. /
won't let him go out of my sight"
Then we, in our turn, left the yard
of the station, and set off eastwards
along the Strand in pursuit. Both
cabmen were sharp fellows and evil
IDENTIFY familiar with every. twist and
turn of their famous London. In my
time l have had good many curious
drives in one part of the world and
another, but I think that chase will
always rank first. We travelled along
the Strand, about 100 yards be-
hind the other vehicle, then turned
up Southampton street. through
Covent Garden by way of Henrietta
street into Long Acre. After that I
cannot pretend to have any idea of
the direction we took. know that
we passed through Drury Lane,
crossed High Holborn, to presently
find ourselves somewhere at the back
of Gray's Inn. The buildings of the
Parcels Post depot marked another
stage in our journey But still the
other cab did not show any sign of
coming to standstill. Leaving
Mount Pleasant behind us, we en-
tered that dingy labyrinth of streets
lying on the other side of the Clerk
enwell House of Detention. How
much longer was the chase going to
last? Then, to my delight. the other
cab slaekened its pace, and eventual
! ly pulled up before small public
house. We were so close behind it
that we narrowly escaped collision.
sprang out, and ran to the other
vehicle in order to stop Hayle before
he could alight.
.'sWot's up, guvner?" asked the cab
man. Don't go worriting of
yourself. There's nobody inside
He was quite right, the cab was
empty!
