What reward shall you ofer?'

 Tt is a most curious case. l Goubt If 1t can be duplicated. The rloti ye do not understand. as no ransom has been asked for his return"
 MT. Parks, the elder of the firm of Parks, Parks & Redmond, solicitors, leaned back in his chair in his amCon office and meditatively rubbed his aTisto- cratic nose. His nose was his prioe and care. and he watched It with great snx- iety to see that the port that he drank far he had been successful.

 Possibly. we can at least try the ef- feet of it. The property can easily stand the amount of ten thousand pounds, if 1t would make any difference"
 Very well, let us make it ten thous- and, and see what 1t will do."

England Greatest warship.

Very rapid progress is now being made with the building of the King Edward VIII, Britain's greatest warship at the western backyard, Davenport, says an exchange.
 Her keel plate was laid by the King last March, and already the hull is vir- gually complete, over 4,000 tons dead weight of steel plating and armor having been built into her.
 So quickly has this superb warship been brought forward that, although the original specifications did not allow for her being ready for the pennant before March, 1905, it is now officially stated that she will be completed many months earlier than this.
 The King Edward VII. will be the most costly warship ever yet constructed.
 The original estimates were for mill lion and a half of money; and. although they have been cut down. 1t is authori- tatively stated by prominent officials that the total expenditure will amount to well over 1,400,O00 pounds.
 This outlay on a fabric which we'll directed torpedo would annihilate makes one realize how costly the game of mod ern naval war would prove.
 Two more battle ships of the same class have been laid down-the Dominion and the Commonwealth.

CHAPTER XXI.

An. MT. Morgan, pray be seated. am very glad to see you. It is lonely for an old man like myself here"
 You can hardly call yourself old, MT Elliott
 Sometimes I like to. Of course I am no longer young. and when I get away from the cares of business I feel like a 1oy in spirits. You have been, so MT Vanbrugh tells me. something over a year in his office. You like your work, l suppose?"
 ''I am in love with it. I told MT. Van Nostrand when he asked me what would like to do that I had a great fondness for fine houses and that l thought that strange thing, MT. Elliot. which cannot understand. You probably do not know that had an accident happen to me that deprived me of all memory of the past"
 Yes, MT: Nanbrugh told me of it."
 Well, what l was going to say was this. l do not know what I did before I lost my memory, but there is some mys- tery about the business. 1 certainly did not draw in an architects office"
 Bobs related the incident of his being Kidnapped and what took place.
 Do you not think it strange sir?"
 strange. indeed! It Is curious that you can recall nothing. It is evident to me that you were the person they wanted" cued me? And how did he know that I was there?"
 "Ah, now you are beyond my depth Perhaps it will unravel itself in time. but I should keep watch on myself, If were you, and not get caught again. It might go hard with you another time"

That Foolish Man.

 There is a man in Chicago who. ac- that no woman shall kiss him alive, and strange to say, there is a woman in the same city who is desperately in love with this man.
 A remarkably strange scene took place there few days ago. in which this fool ish man and this equally foolish woman were the perpetrators and participants. They were together, this William Gaun- wald and this Annie Williams, and in her uncomfortable passion of love for the man who likens his lips to the sanctity of gold, diamonds and other precious met ais and jewels; the woman without a word or sign of warning threw her arms around the neck of him she adored and dealt him Qt is estimated) about four and twenty ripe kisses.
 Gaunwald, say the newspapers, stag gered from the shock" and stood in be- wilderment.
 ITO be kissed by a woman,'t thought he, bah, 1t is an insult, an outrage. l will have revenge" and so thinking he swatted the woman who had insulted his modesty a hard blow on the face.
 The woman recovered her long lost wits and promptly had Gaunwald ar rested.
 The girl kissed me- he said to the Judge. Il was not expecting such a thing and was totally unable to defend myself. She violently hugged and kissed me. l do not allow any woman such privileges"
 The judge, being a sensible man, could not see wherein Gaunwald had been in- tured and fined him $5.
 What fools these mortals be!'

 Now, boys, let us go and see if our young friends memory has returned or if he is only fooling." Hes never fooling. Reddie. Whats Reddie had opened the door of the in- ner room and given vent to loud and vigorous oath.
 Hes gone! How on earth do you sup pose he did? There isn't a trace of a rope or anything to show how he got free. He beats all"
 'The boys got a charmed life, be- iieve, and you'd better quit fooling with him, as l told you yesterday"
 I've got to have him back. l haven't after him and bring him up, and see that he was educated, just to have him drop me like cold potato"
 Well, he's out of your clutches for a while, and you can bet that he will look after himself from this on. You won't ind 1t so easy to catch your bird the second time.
 "Ill get him just the same, even if I have to hurt him to do it, T wouldn't do that. It ain't worth while, seems to me. You might hurt him bad and then what good would he be to you? What does he do now, any, way?
 Far as I can find out, he is at work in some architects office down town.'
 Well. why not leave him there. if you know where he is? What do you want of him, anyway? It's clear that he's off in his head. He wasn't sham ming when he said he didn't know you. Say, he did give you an awful rap that time. It was the quickest, prettiest blow I've seen in long time.' Do you think I've forgotten 1t? My jaw aches still. ] won't forget that in a hurry" There's some one on the stairs! Hello. | London, Bobs has cut and run! Has he? How did he do it. That's what we want to know.

 Good thing too." What do you mean by that?" asked Reddie, turning on him with a scowl. "Jusr what I said. The boy is no fur ther use to us or to you He has lost his memory that's evident, and has gone off on new track. He will never be the same, and you'd better drop him, Red
