No doubt he had good reason for what

there were one or two little affairs
planned by him and carried out under
his superintendent that, if we had
thought of it at all, we might have
known only woman could have
worked successfully. All the same, If
I'd suspected we had a woman amongst
us, I'm afraid l should have funked

better with us now that the Judas who

CHAPTER XII.

EXIT COUNCILLOR NUMBER FIVE
The next meeting of the council was
arranged to take place, as the reader
will remember, in a disused shed that
stood on the brickfields near the ceme-
terry at Marlborough. There we were
to assemble at midnight, and thither
/ accordingly betook myself at the ap-
pointed hour.
It was not cheerful spot Though
fairly roomy. the building was a mere
shed. For what use it had orig
inally been intended 1 cannot say.
There was neither fireplace nor win
dow. 1t consisted merely of four wood
en- walls, roof and a clay floor. A
grave could not have been barer, for
from floor to ceiling there wasn't so
much as nail on which to hang ones

sible some of us may be able to identi-
fy this woman" He plucked off the
disguise as he spoke, and then stag
gered back, his face grown gray as
putty, the pupils of his eyes unnatural
ly dilated, and his breath coming in
short, quick Inspirations.

killed heri"
YES" said Number Six; ''the job
goes down in your account right
enough, my friend. You make your
self easy about that. There's no one
here would be so mean as to want to
do you out of it."
The taunt passed unheeded, If not
unheard, for, to the dismay, and prob
ably to the disgust, of the onloo5ers
Number Two, scoundrel though he
was, knelt down beside the corpse with
look on his face that seemed strange
ly out of keeping in that company.
Councillor Number Six was appar-
entity not a sentimental person.
"Hm!" he sneered. First we stick
knife into folk, and then we do the
handkerchief business over 'em.
Seems to me this syndicate ought to
turn itself into an amalgamated muir
der and mourner company combined.
Murders committed on the shortest
notice; funerals to match; tears al
ways in stock. If you don't see the
kind of corpse you'd like in the win
dow, step inside and ask for another.
No extra charge for handkerchiefs.'
He spoke to christening ears, as far
as Number Two was concerned; see
ing which the fellow slapped the lxneel-
ing man on the shoulder noisily.
Cheer up, my buck!' he said; "you
had lot to say against women Just
now, but you seem nightly low down
all at once because one of ems met
with an accident"

ing and looking around weariedly;

she could say it."
You've taken good care she can't"
sneered the other. But, look here,
my friend. 1t strikes me that that
lady came here meaning mischief.
When a woman wants to make II
nasty for man, she amt too partic-
ular If she makes it nasty for his
mates, too. That's the worst of a
woman. When she's set on a thing
she goes at it blind. Now we don't
institute too rigorous an investigation
into the moral character OF those who
have seats on this council-not too
rigorous, that is-but we hope, for the
sake of all our peace of mind, not to
say our necks. that there aren't any
other ladies who want to get equal
with you. Otherwise we might have
old Jonah on board at once"

WAR IN THE FAR EAST CAUSING
A REGULAR COMMERCIAL FAMINE

The war between Russia and Japan il
likely to cause famine in a number OF
articles; among them celluloid, agar-agar,
camphor, iodine, straw for hats, furs, men
thol, etc.
Agaragar has already gone up in price,
a dreadful famine in camphor has stalked
out of the scenes of orient strife, menthol
is mounting gayly, some of the fancy plaits
for spring hats have nearly doubled in
price, and political badges will have to be
made from something different from their
primal celluloid.
Iodine, which is used in the merciful
work of saving life, and anthony, which is
employed to destroy it, both come from
Japan, and both have become scarcer and
dearer since the war began.
The fashionable woman, who lays vast
regions under contribution for her adorn-
ment, will be affected in several ways
For instance, the letting loose of the
hordes of fierce bandits in consequence OF
the war will in all probability cut off some
of her ladyship's supplies of furs by pre-
venting many of the hunters in remoter
China from getting their stocks of skins
down country to the markets. The short
age in the delivery of goat skins is calcu-
lated to send up the prices of those rich

skins of goats to initiate bear,
Missionaries taught the Japanese how to
plat straw for hats, and they turn out the
product go per cent cheaper than any other
people can. But they are busy killing Rus
slams now, or trying to.
The sudden scarcity Of celuloid is in
separately bound up with the camphor
famine, but the vagaries of agar-agar.
which is form of isingass which comes
from Japan, stands by themselves.
Celluloid cannot be made without cam
phor. Camphor cannot be got from the
fragrant islands of Formosa without the
consent of Japan.
The government of the mikado. which
may be bland but is by no means child
like, is fully aware that camphor is one or
its richest assets, and is not likely to let
it go freely at present
There has been much talk of artificial
or what is scientifically called Synthetic
camphor, made by certain process with
liberal use of turpentine. but it has not
yet come out at a price which renders it
a market possibility.
Therefore, the cost of celluloid collars.

BLANKETS.

Don't bother coal, buy blankets!
Come wind, come snow, let Boreas
blow, with blankets like these your
bodies will glow. Every blanket as
good as gold. Ask to see them,
weigh them, measure them, poke
your thumbs into their heat-holding
depths. Why wait till cold weather
to buy blankets? You need them
any way, SO why not buy now? Prices
as low as they will ever be.
