After Liberal Application Of Soft Soap

PARIS A WELL LIGHTED CITY
Strange Contrast With Conditions in
Most American Cities.

Paris offers a strange contrast to
in the matter of street lighting. London
is woefully Somber at night, except
at certain points where concert halls
and gin mills" are numerous, where
as Paris is brilliantly lighted every
where. Nothing SO astonishes the
American visitor as the long lines of
brilliant gas lamps Gncandesant burn
ers, all of which function perfectly
reaching down each and every street
to sparkling perspectives of diamond
strings. Do you feel disposed to
shrug your shoulders and cry out that
1t is garish and unrestful? Please
don't. 1t is a grand success and JOY
forever. If you doubt it, come over
here and see for yourselves. l have
carefully Observed the placement OF
lampposts and find that in some places
there is one every twenty feet; in less
favored localities, one every forty or
fifty feet, while the little streets have
them at intervals of about 200 feet.
In the case of the poor little streets
the lighting is, at the worst, admirable
not to say magnificent. What does
all this cost? 1t costs too much, from
our enlightened Cor unlighted) point
of view. We are content to grope

How many millions of pounds worth
Of property lies unclaimed today in
the form of shares, dividends. depos-
it's of money, plate and jewels in the
hands of bankers, companies, solici-
tors, auctioneers and others?
This is the fascinating question
raised yesterday by the writer's of a
letter, who urge the Chancellor Of the
Exchequer to lay hands upon the spoil
and devote it to the increase OF ma
tional revenues.
Unclaimed wealth in the hands OF
the crown and funds in chancery
amount to more than f50,000,OOO. Is
1t possible that the funds in private
hands amount to an equally large
sum?
Some of the examples of hidden
wealth given by the writer's OF the
letter suggest that the amount must
at any rate be large one. 1t Is not.
apparently, the custom of companies
to search very far for the owners OF
unclaimed dividends. Occasionally
the chairman of company refers to
unclaimed amounts. In the case of a
building society the chairman an

And then began the unraveling OF
the last knot in the exciting mystery
of the Graviscourt millions.
Gravscourt met us, as he had al
ways met us, with the placid smile
and the suave dignity of the man OF
wealth, leisure and culture. There
was, perhaps, degree of pallor in his
face that was unusual, but this might
easily be attributed to the return of a
rival whom he had believed dead and
out of his way.

and congratulated me upon the fact
that the rumor of my demise was un-
| founded
He led us into his cozy library-the
very room in which Dilkins had dis
covered the photograph of Alice Gra-
| viscourt-and placed chairs for us and
| urged us to sit down.
There were four of us: the major,
| Thorlane, myself and special officer
| in citizens dress, detailed by Byrnes
| to accompany us and to take Gravis.
court into custody. l had insisted
upon my plan OF action being followed,
| which was to proceed to Graviscourt's 8
rooms, unmask his villanies there, and
read to him the statements of Dambo
and of the two Sigmottas. When this
had been done, it was to be the Off
| GERS duty to arrest Graviscourt, and
my connection with the case ceased.
| 1t must have been clear to Gravis-
court that something serious was com
| ing, for the major was as glum and
| grim as an old warrior could be- and
| the stern face of Thorlane must have
seemed to Graviscourt an i'll omen
But no sign of trepidation showed
in his manner, and he politely offered
us cigars and wine. which we all de-
clined, while he waited for us to an
nounce the object of our visit.
The moment was painful one, and
although had worked for this mans
downfall, now that had the weapons
wherewith to destroy him in my hand
