after leaving that room he crept into
his daughters. Then he went to the
kitchen, and felt along the wall until
he found two pan-hooks, to which he
carefully fastened certain things that
he was carrying.
He was awakened the next morning
by an cutlery from Mrs. Flynn.
Barney" she cried. wake up!

Policeman Flynn rolled out of bed
and hastily reached for his Sunday
boots, his only other pair having been
left near the outer door when he took
them off the night before. This feel
ing that he had only to put on his
boots to be fully dressed was the re-
suit Of sleeping at the station on re-
serve duty in times of great public
excitement But now he received a
shock.
ooh, tn murtherin' divil!" he cried.
"He's shtole wan iv me boots!"

Flynn. He's shtole me only pair iv

got part of his uniform on over his

Mrs. Flynn found time to ask.

"He mussed up everything in one Of
my bureau drawers, anyway.
"'Tis Terry!" broke in Policeman
Flynn, from the foot of the stairs.
The next moment he pushed open
the door of the kitchen, and the three
entered. Terry was actually rolling
on the floor in paroxysm of laugh
ter.

ed Policeman Flynn.
For answer Terry simply pointed
to a row of pan hooks on the wall,
and laughed some more. From the
first hung the silk stockings that Mrs.
Flynn had missed, stretched all out
of shape by the statuette thai pro-
truded from one and the patent egg
beaten that looked over the top of the
other, with incidental Jumps of large
size to indicate where little china
clock, some candy, and various other
things had been crowded in. Next to
this was a stocking that Maggie
promptly recognized, although she
blushed to note the knobby shape it
had assumed in it's efforts to provide
room for the regulation box of candy,
bottle of perfume, glove box, a fam
tastic little pincushion and ready

THE BROKEN ROAD. BY 4. 2. W.
Mason From Charles Scribner's
Sons of New York. through the
Bell Book and Stationery Com
pany. OF Richmond. $3.50.
In this thrilling story Mr.. Mason
gives proof of the great growth Of
that talent which has gained for him
place in the first rank of norelists
to-day. His power of telling dra-
matte story. the ingenuity and reality
of his plot the restrained skill with
which the characters are by few
lines placed wildly before the reader
and the healthiness of tone which
make his adventures such bracing
reading give this new novel n high
place among contemporary romances.
The scene is laid In England and later
in India. and the principal characters
are an Indian prince brought up in
England, young English engineer
and an English woman who go out
to India. The influence of the road
upon their fate sthe motives and cir
cumstances that sway them in con-
nictng directions, the struggle be-
tween them and the events that sur
round them make a striking and ab-
sorbing story.

CUSTOM OFFICERS SEIZE
 $30,000
Foreign Gowns of That Value Halted
 at New York.

New York, Sept S.-Foreign gowns, laces and lingerie, the value of which is said to be SSO,0O0, were seized by GUS toms inspectors to-day on the arrival! of the French liner La Savoie, Most of the goods, which were contained iu thirty trunks. were the property of a number of dressmakers returning from Europe.
 Practically ell of the trunks seized bore inspection labels, which the GUS toms officials declare were either forg- ed or stolen. The plan, the authorities believe has been successfully worked for some time. The collectors office was notified that large quantity of dutiable goods was being brought on La Savoie and that an attempt would be madeto smuggle 1t in, hence the un- usual activity of the inspectors.
 The plan apparently was to leave the goods on the ship undeclared and have them taken off later, when the forged inspection labels would at once pass them through the custom house. D, Ao
