The stuff was fiery, but good.
Instead of flushing his face II seemed

Right again. ma belle Suzbn.' he said,

1T is dangerous, 1 know. There's murder

I can always secure an aoquittal of the MUIR

me 1 will-ha, hail will make the fury
bring in a verdict of not guilty. I always
do 1t! That is because 1 am sometimes
known as Devil Steele."
With a whimsical humor, behind which
was a disposition of the man to do as he
listed without thinking OF consequences, he

A heavy tumbler flew across the room. It

A., Then, presently. he concluded that there
had been a secret and that secret was lost.
The deduction was logical. At the begin
ming of the present era the amount of coin
IN circulation was a hundred times inferior
to that which in earlier days a single satrap
possessed.
Thereafter the world grew steadily poorer.

I parenthetically-it was not until after the
discovery of the Americas hat things began
to look up.
But just prior to the eruptions of gold
from Mexico and Peru it became obvious to
thinkers that not merely was there a lost
secret. but a secret which concerned the
transmutation of metals.
Here the plot thickens. Throughout Eu-
rope every alchemist set to work. One and
all tried to find out how transmutation was
/ effected. But the secret had escaped too far
to be r~ebeckoned by natural means. Here
the plot growths thicker.

more Familiarity as Bluebeard.
GILES de Rails was a great lord who, in a
splendid Breton castle. lived regally. Dur

During the prodigalities at his castle he

decided that he, too, must evoke Satan.
Satan at that time was very real. The
atmosphere was so charged with his legions
that splitting was an act of worship.
From encountering him at every turn So
ciety had become used to his ways. and had
imagined a pact whereby, in exchange for
the soul. Satan agrees to furnish whatever
is wanted. Into that pact Bluebeard at
tempted to enter.
ITO please him. he afterward confessed.
'I have done what no one else has ven

In so saying. he was not boasting. 1t was
under his hand that the real massacre of
the innocents occurred.
Satan was supposed to enjoy the blood OF
the young, and to minister to that taste

soon as the last car of the train has passed
the front end of the car to be coupled this

more than 1t would with a fast express
train. but as soon as the car is at the bot
