Kenton shool, with laughter. The
dea of Maize Belfort becoming a de-
Ieetive was bit of rare hImor.
He laughed again when Maize,
guessing, the cause of his mirth
Itraightened up to the full five feet
Jour inches of stature which was the
best she could attain with even high
heels. 1t was her height Cor rather
lack of IT'D that had precipitated the
trouble.
Maize was sensitive about her size,
and though, to Ned Kenton, she
seemed a veritable little fairy in her
tiny perfection, he could not refrain
from teasing her.
That a European city had actually
appointed women police had appealed
to Maize, who was rabid upholder
of the theory of equal rights, and
Kenton had suggested that she Amply
for a position on the force, adding
that possibly the usual limitations as
to height might be waived in her
case.
She had fiared up at the sugges-
tion and when she had declared her
Intention of making application Ken
ton knew that she meant it. Taken
all in all he was rather glad. Per-
haps her failure might induce her to
change her mind on woman's rights,
and it was with more than his usual
cheerfulness that he took his leave.
Outwardly serene, but inwardly
trembling, she sat in the office of the
chief of police the next morning.
"Of course" she was explaining to
the blue-coated official, ct do not
suppose that we, are ripe in America
for real women police, but there are
many police duties that a woman
might perform better than "a man.
The dry goods stores have women de-
tectives- Why should not the city
do the same?"
Every right" agreed the chief. "In
face we have some women connected
in a semiofficial capacity with the
police-always have had. AS 1 I'M
derstand 1t you wish to become
regular member of the force"
"On an equal. footing with the
men," she verified. ct want to show a

''I'll look up these references"
promised the chief. "If I find that
they are all right yo. shall have your
badge"
The official turned back to the
desk while the secretary came for
ward to the door to escort her out,
and. with head held high, Maize took
her departure.
Two days later the summons came,
and this time she waited with conf
dence in the anteroom for the call of
the chief. He did not keep her wait
ing long, and presently she was TAX
ing the oath and the chief pinned a
shining badge upon her coat.

suggested, "and only use it when you

UNIT Mary Davis had been in
"a vited to visit the widow Ran
4 some, living on a farm two
miles out of the village, and
her husband had dri~1n her out after
dinner.
Such an invitation means a long
gossip and a heart-to-heart talk, to
say nothing of a supper in which the
biggest picked peaches and the
incest ounce preserves are displayed,
admired and eaten.
In the towns and cities the ladies
call; in the country they come pre-
pared to stay all the afternoon and
then go home reluctantly. In the
towns and cities, the ladies gossip;
in the country the women visit.
It had been so on this visit of
Aunt Mary's. After a couple of hours
devoted to carpet-rags, altering over
old dresses, making soft soap and
talking about this one and that one,
but not with tongues OF malice, Aunt
Mary quietly said:

came the thought that If she reported
that there was nothing there 1t would
be better than to have someone else
go.
She was certain that those other
detectives who had had checks cash
ed were trying to make case against
Kenton.
The apartments were two rooms in
an apartment house for bachelors.
Maize had never seen his rooms and
it was like voyaging to an unknown
land to make entry. Twice she slip

Office. it is expected. viii be in the Presi-
dents hands by noon to-day.
What will follow is matter of conjec-
ture in many ways. 1t may be taken for
granted however. that the deposed Pub
lie Printer, Charles a. Stilings. and the
interesting Audit System OF New York
City will stay put out. and that recon-
mendations for an immediate reduction of

ing that institution for the fiscal year
ending next June, will be included in the
report.
Four Weeks job Over.
For nearly four weeks William S. Ros-
sitter and his assistant investigators have
been plying their probes with the skin
and zeal Of vivisectionlsts. If the G. p. o.
and The Audit System stin contain hid

energy or conscientiousuess on the part Of

Huge columns Of figures and masses of

like 1900 words Of typewriter explana-
tion will accompany the statistics on

completed several days ago. His time
