The Englishmans haste was his
undoing. A light fall of snow few
days before had gathered in the lit

The detective plunged into one of
these and fell sprawling on all fours-
calamity that caused his comrades
to pause uneasily. Larry was upon
his enemy in flash, wrenched his
pistol away and pulled the man to his
feet
"Ah, Davidson. There's many a

you with your own gun" And he

Larry, but at that moment Bates ran
toward us calling loudly.
They're coming across the lake,

sheriff's head disappeared, and as we
ran toward the house we heard his
horse pounding down the road toward
st. Agathas.
"The law be damned. They don't in
tend to come in here by the front door
as matter Of law" said Larry. "Pick-
ering's merely using the sheriff to give
responsibility to his maneuvers."
1t was no time for a discussion of
motives. We ran across the meadow
past the water tower and down to the

saw half a dozen men approaching the
Glenarm grounds. They advanced
steadily over the light snow that lay
upon the ice, one man slightly in ad-
vance and evidently the leader.

BUYING PAINT 6LINDLY,

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as lottery and so it is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily So,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint. Adulterants in white lead
can be easily found by the use of a
blowpipe. Authorizations in linseed oil
can be detected with fair degree of
certainty. See that these two elements
are pure and properly put on and the
paint will stay put
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge, Building, New York City, will
send blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tions for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.

The origin of the fieur-de-lis is still
an unsettled question. There are many
theories, but no two of them agree.
One makes the emblem originate with
Clovis l., andother with Louis VII, an.
other with one Of the German kings
of the twelfth century and still an
other with the Romans. All that is
definitely settled is the fact that since
the twelfth century the fieur-de-lis has
been employed as the emblem OF
French royalty. The nature of the
emblem is also in dispute. An old
tradition makes 1t the representation
of the lily given by the angel to
Clovis at his baptism. Another theory
is that 1t was adopted by Louis VII
in allusion to his name, Louis Florus

Few of the Americans who called on their Chinese friends last night to witness some of the incidents in the final celebration, knew the proper mode of procedure, and as a result some Of, the Cninks were rather in suited, especially when one offered to shake hands with them. The proper thing is to shake your own hand in greeting your Chinese acquaintance. This is but one instance of the topsy- turyydom of the Flowery Kingdom. In China the men wear the gowns and the women the trousers. White is a symbol of mourning. Chinamen laugh at death and brides vail at weddings.
 As party of Americans entered the Joss house last night one of the women in the party stepped up to the high dignitary of the local Chinese and asked: Me wante to see Chink- a-Chink smokum hop. John. Ale samee you slayvee-" The grave Ori- ental maintained an unruffled calm and dignified silence, but when her request was repeated, only in a still more outlandish jargon similar to the above, he lost patience:
 Madam, your are an American Why on earth don't you speak intelli- gent English?"
 It is needless to add that she hasti- ly withdrew from his presence.
