breath out Of Armitage, and the huge
thighs Of his captor pinned his arms
tight. The match spurted fire, and he
looked into the face Of the servant
whom he had seen in the room above
His round head was covered with short
wirelike hair that grew low upon his
narrow forehead. Armitage noted, too,
the mans bull-like neck, small sharp
eyes and bristling mustache. The fit

rough furniture Of a kitchen. The
brick flooring and his wet inverness
lay cold at Armitage's back.
The fellow growled an execration in

continued to humble his threats, but
Armitage had resolved to play the part
Of an Englishman who understood no
German, and he addressed the man
sharply in English several times to sig
nifty that he did not understand.
The Servian half turned toward his
prisoner, the revolver in his left hand,
while with the fingers Of his right he
felt laboriously for lamp that had been
revealed by the ftful flashes of the
matches. 1t is not an easy matter to
light a lamp when you have only one
hand to work with, particularly when
you are obliged to keep an eye on

you are ignorant, and it was several
minutes before the job was done.

inner door as possible while he called
help from above, which was, of course,
the wise thing from his point of view,
as Armitage recognized
Armitage stood with his back against
rack Of pots. The table was at his
left and beyond 1t the door opening
upon the court. A barred window was
at his right Opposite him was another
door that communicated with the in
terror of the house and disclosed the
lower steps of a rude stairway leading
upward. The Servian now closed and
locked the outer kitchen door with
care.
Armitage had lost his hat in the
area; his light walking stick lay in the
|. middle of the floor; his inverness coat
hung wet and bedraggled about him;
his shirt was crumpled and soiled. But
his air Of good humor and his tame ac-
ceptance Of capture seemed to increase
the Servian's caution, and he backed

With this he sent the chair Gathering

the second landing.
Armitage turned and sped down the
front stairway, hearing renewed clamor
from the rear and cries of rage and
pain from the second story. In funl-
bling for the front door he found hat
and, having lost his own. placed it
upon his head, drew his inverness
about his shoulders and went quickly
out. A moment later he slipped the
catch in the wall door and stepped into
the boulevard.
The stars were shining among the
flying clouds overhead. and he drew
deep breaths of the freshened air into
his lungs as he walked back to the
Monte Rosa. Occasionally he laughed
quietly to himself, for he still grasped
tightly in his hand. safe under his coat,

The sweat had broken out on Chau-

chair where his coat hung and caught
up the garment with shaking hands.
The silk lining futtered loose where
Armitage had roughly torn out the
envelope.
"Who is he? Who is hep whispered
Durand, very white Of face
"It may bet must be some one

Chauvenet paused, drawing his hand
across his forehead slowly. Then the

His eyes were swapping with excite

face.
''Who is John Armitage?" demand
ed Durand sharply, but Chauvenet
stared at him in stupefaction for a
tense moment, then muttered to him
self:
"Is it possible? Is it possible?" And
his voice was hoarse, and his hand
trembled as he picked up the cigarette
case.

Chauvenet glanced about the room
cautiously, then bent forward and
whispered very low close to Durand's s
ear:

"He is the right age. He is big

smartly.

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS?
its Chief Use and a Method o. Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. Il is made
by corroding metallic lead into white
powder. through exposing it TO the
fumes Of weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste. in which form il is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
/ painter thins It down to the, proper
consistency for application BY the ad-
dition of more iinseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adunerated
and fake White Lead" OF which there
are many brands on the market. is
generally some sort Of composition
containing only a percentage Of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all:
In such stun. barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, a positive test BY
which the purity or impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with It,
The blow-pipe flame win reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. If
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and 1t only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue. it is proof that
something else was there besides
white, lead.
The National Lead Company guar

quest a blow-pipe and everything else
necessary to make the test, together
