. A question as to the constitution.
atty of the anti-tipping law has
risen, and Prosecuting Attorney
Fred G. Pugh does not believe that
1t will stand the test If ever
brought before the courts. Pugh is
solid in the belief that the anti.

which is seriously questioned by
many lovers of the Objectionable
pills." will hold good through a
test In the courts.
Both laws are being violated, and
examples of both of them could be
made in Spokane in short order

In the last day or so cigarets on
the streets, at the ball games and
on street cars have grown more
frequent in use than they were for
the first day or so after the law
went into effect.
The anti-tipping law was inject

the hands of the committee of
prosecutors, of which Pugh was
a member. The giving of tips In

CHAPTER XVI
How Monsieur Fared In the Rue
Des Trois Freres

Les JFolS frereS
OF the three men who, from
such widely different motives, had
spared no pains in pursuit of her
whom Quaintance now knew as
Dagmar, Duchesse der Reeves,
Monsieur lie Due was the last to
reach Paris, and that in no over
violent hurry. For, while he may
not have welded such wide powers
as Fanchette credited him with, he
had always found that his rank In
life carried with 1t advantages
denied to individuals less forum
ately situated. When the ever
watchful Jules had brought him
breathless word of the Duchesse's
final flight. a cable message from
New York had served to set in mo-
ton that machinery by means Of
which she was to be detained in
Paris for him. And SO secure had
he been as to its efficacy in that
respect that he. had not in any
way fastened his own departure.
But, by the time he reached his
ornate bachelor apartment in the
Rue st. Honore he had forgotten
the fair cause Of that delay, was
all impatience to behold her who
awaited him. He sat down at his
telephone and called up the Palais
de Justice.
The creature who had served his
purpose there was one Tissot-
Latour, an aspirant for social rec
Ognition and very ready to OBJ
lige duke. M. Tissot-Latour was
out, II seemed, but Monsieur's ur-
gent message would be delivered
to him Immediately on his return,
which would not be until late after
noon or early evening. Monsieur
gave vent to his annoyance by
cursing Jules Chevrel when he ap-
peared, and then demanded of that
unmoved functionary how he might
best amuse himself during the in
terVenlng hours.
Jules, who was in not a few re-
spects an admirable servant, had
foreseen some such demand on his
ingenuity and was prepared to
meet 1t with a well filled program
Of all that Paris offered In the
way of entertainment. Monsieur
decided on the steeplechases at
Auteuil, and, having once more
breakfasted at his usual restau-
rant---he always ate with better
appetite In public than at any Of
his clubs--set forth for the race
course In his most dashing motor.
a scarlet car which he affected in
society, taking Jules with him as
chauffeur.
He was in restless frame Of
mind, and, after a turn through
the paddock. where he met but few
acquaintances and they busily &C.
cupied, he sought and found Jules
active at the betting booths, babe
that aggrieved and sulky specula-
tor drive him back to the boule.
wards forthwith. There he left the
red car at its garage and sent his
valet about those duties from
which he had so lately released
him, while he himself passed the
afternoon In a moody and aimless
promenade.
Tissot-Latour was seated In the
smoking room when. he returned to
the Rue st. Honore. a little vulgar,
over dressed man. plebeian of body
as mind. who rose as Monsieur en-
tered and greeted him effusively.
Have YOU brought the ad-
dress?" the Due asked bluntly,
cutting him short in long string
of compliments and questions.
