this delicious stuff comes FROM" he
asked
"Sassafras, isn't it?" they hazarded.
"Sassafras nothing" said the drug
gist. "Sarsaparilla Is made of zarza
roots, and zarza roots come from the
Amazonas swamps of Brazil.
Fearful swamps they are. Smelly

chids, fever.
"And here the natives camp for
weeks at time, gathering zarza roots
for the summer sarsaparilla trade.
The vine runs along the ground, the
roots are located and half of them are
taken, the remaining half is carefully
covered with soil again, so that they
will sprout for next year.
1T is because sarsaparilla, like
qrinine, grows in fever soil that 1t is
good for fever"

SYNOPSIS.

Mad" Dan Maitland, on reaching his
New York bachelor club, met an attrac-
tive young woman at the door. Janitor
O'Hagan assured him no one had been
within that day. Dan discovered a wom-
ans finger prints in dust on his desk,
along with a letter from his attorney
Maitland dined with Bannermans his at
torney. Dan set out for Greenfields, to
get his family Jewels. During his walk
to the country seat, he met. the young
woman in gray whom he had seen leaV-
Ing his bachelors club. Her auto had
broken down. He fixed it. By a ruse she
'1ost" him. Maitland, on reaching homS
surprised lady in gray, cracking the safe
containing his gems. She, apparently,
took him for a well-known crook, Daniel
Anisty. Half-hypnotized, Maitland opened
his safe, took therefrom the jewels. and
gave them to her, first forming a part
nership in crime. The real Dan Anisty.
sought by police of the world. appeared
on the same mission. Maitland overcame
him. He met the girl outside the house
and they sped on to New York in her au-
to. He had the jewels and she promised
to meet him that day. Maitland received
q "Mr. Snaith."

the thief pondered this; then, with .
laughing oath, seized the pen and
scrubbed, with no attempt to initiate
the others handwriting, message:
Regret unavoidable detention. Let
ter of explanation follows"
To this Maitland's name was signed.
THAT ought to clear him neatly, if /
understand the emergency"
The thief rose, folding the telegraph
blank, and returned to the bedroom,
taking up his hat and the murderous
cane as he went. Here he gathered to-
gether all the articles of clothing that
he had discarded, conveying the mass
to the trunkroom, where an empty and
unlocked kit-bag received it all.
THAT, think, is about ALL
He was very methodical, this GRIM
inal, this Anisty. Nothing essential
escaped him. He rejoiced in the mi
nutiae of detail that went to cover up
his tracks SO thoroughly that his cam
paigns were as remarkable for the
clues he did leave with malicious de-
sign, as for those that he didn't.
One final thing held his attention:
A bowl of hammered brass, inverted
beneath a ponderous book, upon the
desk. Why? In a twinkling he had
removed both and was studying the
Impression of woman's hand in the
dust, and nodding over it.
THAT girl" deduced Anisty. Nov
ice, poor little fooli-or she wouldn't
have wasted time searching here for
the jewels. Good locker, though
from what little he''-with a glance at
Maitland-"gave me chance to see
of her. Seems to have shared him, all
right, If she did miss the haul.
Little idiot! What right has a woman
in this business, anyway? Well,
here's one thing that will never land
me in the pen"
AS, with nice care, he replaced both
bowl and book, door slammed below
stairs took him to the hall In an in
slant. Maitland's Panama was hang
ing on the hatrack, Maitland's collec-
ton of walking sticks bristled in a
stand beneath it. Anisty appropriated

Fair exchange" he considered, with
harsh laugh. after all, he loses
but the jewels"
He was out and at the foot of the
stairs just as O'Hagan reached the
ground floor from the basement.
"Ah, 0iHagan!" The assumption of
Maitland's ironic drawl was impec-
cable. O'Hagan no more questioned it
than he questioned his own sanity.
Here, send this wire at once. please;

Il didn't give the matter too much
thought. beyond believing that Higgins
would hold the man tight"
Il see. 1t is unfortunate, but
you motored back to town"
1t was not question, but Maitland
SO considered it.
1--WE did," he admitted.
"And came here directly?"
II did"
MIR. Maitland, why not be frank
with me? My sole object is to capture
notorious burglar. l have no desire
to NEEDLE with your private affairs,
but You may trust in my dis

Absolutely. l have no choice in
the matter. You must see that"
Snaith shook his head, bafied, in
finitely perturbed, to Maitlands hid
den delight
"Of course" said he, "the policeman
at the ferry recognized me?'
you are well known to him." ad-
mitted Snaith. But that is a side is
sue. What puzzles me is why you let
Anisty escape. 1t is inconceivable."
From police point of view"
From any point of VIEW" said
Snaith, obstinately. 1.-THE man breaks
into your house, steals your Jewels"
This is getting tiresome," Maitland
interrupted, CURLY. rs it possible
that you suspect me of conniving at
the theft of my own property"
Snaith's eyes were keen upon him.
Stranger things have been known.
And yet-the motive is lacking. You
are not financially embarrassed-so
far as we can determine, at least"
Maitland politely interposed his fin
gers between his yawn and the de-
tective's intent regard. You have
ten minutes more, I'm sorry to say"
he said, glancing at the clock
"And there is another point, more
significant yet"
"Ah?"
yes" Snaith bent forward, elbows
on knees, hat and cane swinging, eyes
implacable, hard, relentless. "Anisty,"
he said, slowly, left a tolerably COM
plete burglars kit in your library"
"Well-hes burglar, isn't hep
Not that kind" Snaith shook his
head.

He swung on his heel and entered
the hallway, pausing at the door long
enough to shoot the bolt; then passed
hastily through the other chambers,
searching, to judge by his manner.
In the end closed door attracted
him; he jerked it open, with an ex-
clamation of relief. 1t gave upon a
large bare room, used by Maitland as
trunk closet. Here were stout leath-
er straps and cords in ample measure.
Mr.. Snaith" selected one from them
quickly but with care, choosing the
strongest.
In two more minutes, Maitland,
trussed, gagged, still unconscious, and
breathing heavily, occupied a divan
in his smoking-room, while his assail-
ant, in the bedroom, ears keen to
catch the least SQUAD from without
was rapidly and chg erfully arraying

his counterfeit presentment. But

A single quick jerk denuded his up

PRINTER SERVANT

House Committee Learns of
Another Strange EmpIoye
of Presidents Family.

The temperance OF the story that
William Delaney. President Roosevelt s
private barber, is carried on the roles
OF the Navy Department, as an ac-
c1untant in the office OF the Auditor at
600 a year, started the members OF
the Appropriations Committee of the
House on a search for similar cases
today Il was discovered that a man
named Jackson is acting as Mrs. Roose-
volts private messenger, although car
ried on the roles Of the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing
Members OF the committee, who still
feel runled q a result of their recent
encounter with the Presidnt, are cha
grined that they did not discover these
matters when they we're preparing the
legislative executive and judicial oil, in
which the salaries for the two men are
provided. Had the information been be-
fore them at that time. it was said to-
day, the mems names would have been
stricken ont.
It was learned today that Jackson was
recently carried on the Census Office
roll at s720 q year, but that recently II
was decided to give him $20O increase,
and he was transferred 10 the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing. The Treas
uTy Department was asked by a mem
ber of the committee today to explain
the nature of JacksOH'S eTnIs 0yEaent at
the bureau. and after evading the dueS-
tiOn for some time IL was finally al
mitted that Jackson was ''stiIl al work
at the White House
