Vaeska read it thoughtfully Her eyes
looked through the paper as if into mist

is worried - she said to herself. She looked
at Astro. as If to ask question He was busy
with planimeter, calculating the area of a
queer, irregular polygon drawn on sheet
of parchment Seeing his tense look. she
turned to her study OF the manuscript.
A 5 as it was dark, Astro opened the
window OF his room on 23d-st. and walked
along the cracking tin roof till he came to
the first window of the house occupied by the
Assassins. Looking in, he saw a small, bare
hall bed room, furnished with cot, a wash
stand, and one chair, The next two windows
were lighted. He approached them carefully
Three men were seated at library table strewn
with magazines. All were smoking COM

tenant, another as Herr Beiner The third
was yellow faced man with red hair. high
cheekhones, and dark eyes deeply set into
his skull In front of him plate filled
with what looked like caviar sandwiches, cut
small and thin
Herr Beimer said something. at which the
Others laughed loudly. Then with flourish,
if drinking their healths. Lieutenant Cam
eron took one of the sandwiches and ate it
almost with an air of bravado. Beimer looked
at his watch. The lean. yellow faced man
walked out of the room. The Lieutenant took
up an illustrated paper and began to read
Astro tiptoed carefully back to his room,
put on his overcoat, and went down stairs,
walked over to the drug store, and rang up
Valeska at the telephone booth
Have you written the letter." he asked.
Not vet" was the answer.
Well, you must do it Immediately as we'll
as you can. Bring it to No. III and ask for
Mr.. Silvermann.'
He then went back to his room Another
stealthy glance through the windows of the
club showed the two still at the table. Cam
eron was busy with pencil and sheet OF
paper. explaining something to the German.

Going back to his room, Astro took bottle

Then he sat down to wait for Valeska

PERPETUATED IN BRONZE

William Mckinley as a commissary
sergeant in the Union Army, serving
hot coffee to men on the firing line dur
ing the progress Of the battle of Antie-
tam. is to be perpetuated in bronze in
a tablet which is to be unveiled here
on date to be announced.
Erected under the auspices OF the
Mckinley Memorial Association. of
which Judge George Gray is president,
the tablets unveiling Is TO be made the
occasion for the gathering of men who
helped to win the War of the Rebel
lion, and patriotic addresses will be
made by individuals of national promi-
nence.
As told by General ]. L. Botsford, OF
youngstown, Ohio, who was at the
time quartermaster of the Twenty
third Ohio volunteer infantry, of which
Mckinley was a member the story OF
heroism thrills with interest.
Mckinley was commissary sergeant
of the regiment at the time of the bat
tie OF Antietam," General Botsford
says, and his duty should have kept
him with the supplies. which were
