to open them, when a shadow fell
across the room. There was a light
step behind me. I looked up, the pa

Captain Forbes was standing by my
side.
lie had made his entrance through
the open window.
Good evening, Sir Mortimer"
rose to my feet, staring at him
stupefied.
Il am sorry IL my abrupt and I'M

YOU" he said moclungly, and regarded
me with cold smile.
You have managed to escape?"
stammered.
Exactly; and / hope ! do not in
convenience you. With your permits
sion. sir, / will withdraw the bolt. This
little room reminds me too well of the

for my taste"
He brushed by me brusquely and
drew the bolt. ! thrust the papers in
my breast pocket. With one motion
I closed the safe softly, and turned the
knob.

sons must not know of Sir Mortimer's
guilt. For though the papers, the
proof. was in our possession, the fact
remained. And if Captain Forbes
knew that j was not Sir Mortimer
Brett. but an impostor, would he not
demand those papers? And having
them, would he not read them?
And Madame de WARMER? To what
extremes would she not go in her
rage? Now she believed that in some
way / had been cognizant of Captain
Forbes escape, and had gone to the
room containing the safe to give him
assistance. But when she knew, as
she must presently. that | had taken
the papers from the safe | could not
doubt that she would not submit meek
ly- She would have her revenge, both
or Helena and on myself. She would
insist on telling Captain Forbes of Sir
Mortimer's guilt.
He would demand from me the pa
pers and my cleverness would have
gone for nothing. For the mind of
Forbes moved in an obstinate channel.
Duty to him was soldiers first i'm
pulse. In doing what he thought his
duty, he would sacrifice all. Not Hell
ena's tears, nor my own entreaties,
would prevent him from hurrying
back to Downing street with the
proofs of Sir Mortlmer's guilt.
For some seconds after we had
reached the large anteroom, the three
of us stood like SO many wax figures.
Each of us had ample reason to feel
iii at ease.

NOT THE TIME TO STOP.
Manager Saw the Possibilities In the
Situation.

Jim tombstone, the famous base
ball umpire. said recently in New
York that baseball crowds were far
kinder to umpires than they used
to be.
This is true OF theater crowds,
too" said Mr.. tombstone. "Why, with
provincial touring companies in the
past, maltreatment was regularly ex-
pected. In fact, the companies prof
tied by IT in more ways than one.
Il know of a company that was
playing The Broken Vow in Paint
Rock, a one night stand. The audi
ence didn't like The Broken Vow and
eggs, cabbages and potatoes rained
upon the stage.
Still the play went on. The hero
raved through his endless speeches,
lodging an onion or a baseball every
other minute, and pretty sore from
those missiles that he hadn't been
able to dodge.
But finally n gallery auditor in a
paroXysm of rage and scorn hurled
heavy boot, and the actor thoroughly
alarmed, started TO retreat.
Keep on playing. you fool, Kissed
the manager from the wings, as he
hooked in the boot with an umbrella,
Keep on till we get the other one"

Jerome on colored Evidence.

District Attorney Jerome, of New
York. said one day of piece of sus-
picious evidence:
1T is evidence that has been tam
pered with, colored. II is like the
lady's report of her physicians pre-
scription.
"A lady one day in July visited her
physician. The man examined her
and said:
Madam, you are only a little run
down. You need frequent baths and
plenty of fresh air, and advise you to
dress in the coolest, most comfortable
understanding stiff or formal
When she got home her husband
asked her what the physician had said.
The lady replied:
He said must go to the seashore,
do plenty Of automobiling, and get
some new summer gowns"

Evil of Tippina system.

Although there is great effort made
to keep secret the thefts in hotels and
restaurants in New York, it is quite
evident they are on rapid increase.
The manager of a large restaurant
says the system of having servants
depend almost entirely upon patrons
for their pay lowers their moral stan
dard and causes them to look on those
they are supposed to serve as their
legitimate prey.

She Experimented.

A little girl of five was taken to
church one Sunday, and listened with
unexpected attention to the sermon,
which graphically told the story OF
the stilling of the tempest on the Sea
of Galilee, and how Christ walked on
the waves. In the afternoon her moth.
err missed her and began an anxious
search Of the house. AS she neared
the bathroom she heard sounds Of
splashing, and hurried to the door TO
behold a small, excited face peering
over the rim of the big white tub. and
to hear a small, excited voice ex-
claim: SAY, mamma, this walking
on the water is. quite a trick"

Sure TO Have One.

Lincoln Steffens, in an address on
municipal politics, said in Chicago Of
a certain city:
THAT city is as notorious for its
rottenness as the town Of Pebbles is
notorious for another characteristic.
Here is an incident that will give
you an idea of the reputation of Peb-
bles.
ION a train one day a man rushed
into car, held up his hand for atten-
ton, and shouted excitedly:
Anybody here who belongs to
Pebbles?'
"'Aye; do said a small. dry old
fellow calmly.
"'Then,' said the other, lend us yer
corkscreW.'"

The publishers of Lippincott's
Magazine report a most gratifying
increase in its circulation during the
past summer-though the summer
months are a season when the circu-
lation of periodicals usually shows a
falling off. Lippincott's good show
ing is probably due to the exceptional
quality of the fiction which has APP
peared in it of late. The September
number shows no let up in the efforts
its publishers are making to please
the public. 1t opens with a novel
cite which is sure to attract atten-
ton both for its own intrinsic merit
and on account of the author, Caro-
Ign Wells. Miss Wells has won an
enviabIe reputation for her humor-
Gus work, and now proves that she
can write serious fiction just as we'll
as that of a more frivolous type.
The novelette, is entitled "A Chain of
evidence" and the plot is based on
a murder mystery which we believe
to be unique in fiction, although SCI
entists affirm that the possibilities
thereof are by no means axaggerat-
ed. How the mystery is solved and
the criminal entrapped forms a mar
rative that is so Accordingly inter-
estirg that the reader will feel genu-
inc regret when he comes to the enda
