The manager of the employment
agency was used to hearing women in

him mildly curious. OF IA girls in

worked in a minister's family?" None

GUARDING TOWER TREASURES
System Is Said to Be Most Perfect
That Has Ever Been
Devised.

The Tower of London has the most
perfect system of burglar alarms that
has yet been devised
From Scotland Yard, from the gov.
ernor's headquarters, and from other
places known only to few respon.
sible officials, the whole tower can be
closed electrically within a few sec.
onds. Even the ponderous gates at
the middle tower, which weigh some
tons and through which visitors pass
swing to automatically, and the es.
cape of every one within is instantly
barred. At the same time an alarm
bell rings to warn wardens, police and
soldiers.
In particular the precautions in the
apartment containing the crown jew.
els are of a most scientifically elab-
crate kind. One of the Beefeaters on
duty in the room has merely to press
a button, whereupon the heavy door
closes, the alarm bell below rings, the
other gates slam to and lock, and ev.

found doors locked, bolted and

} Hulda was having a hard time of it.
for she found herself unable to decide
which of her two suitors she preferred.
Hans, she had to confess, possessed
some advantages which weighed neav-
lily in his favor Mr.. Ball, the man
across the street who owned the big
apartment building, was particular
about his furnace man and she knew
that he liked Hans. Besides Hans
could speak Swedish and the acknowl-
edged that it was pleasant to talk with
him in the language of the dear old
home across the sea.
But whenever his plain, open coun-
tenance with the blue eyes twinkling
below the yellow hair was pictured in
her mind, she blamed him for being a
little too ordinary. She could see a
dozen such any Sunday in the little
Swedish church. Now with man
who wore a fine blue coat with n five
pointed star on the front of it, and
carried a mahogany club 1t was differ

her that he was the right arm of the

long as she had Hans and he was
very good to her.
On Sundays in the park he would
get her a seat close up to the band
stand. Then when the concert was
over, he would stroll across that part
of the park that had signs to keep off

wherever he pleased. He was aware
that Hans was his rival, for one Sat
urday night he had come to see Hulda
and found the Swedish swain there.
Hulda had said:
"Hans, this is Mr.. Flanagan" and
Hans had responded cordially, but
Michael accepted the introduction sui
kily, and sat scowling at the sink all
the rest of the evening.
- After that the sagacious Mr.. Flana-
= gan ceased visiting Hulda on Satur-
days and obtained a transfer to an
other platoon, so that he could do his
calling on Monday or Tuesday nights.
Hans did not alter his visiting schd-
ule, so the rivals never met at Huldas
home again. Indeed Michael took so
little pains to cultivate Hans acquaint-
inquiring what the former did for a
living, and this disdainful indifference
was destined to prove costly in the
end How Hulda would have learned
to know the true sentiments of her
heart had not Hank O'Day, the ice
man, set in motion a fateful train of
circumstances, one cannot guess.
Hank did not know Hulda, he does
not know her to the present day And
yet 1t was none other than the guar
dian of the ice wagon who unwilling
ly unmasked her hearts desire.
Hank O'Day drove pair of remark
ably high-spirited horses. One morn
ing when the ice wagon was, empty,
his aesthetic instincts led him to re-
turn to the yards by way of the street
that skirted the park. Just as the
chariot of fate was nearing Huldas
home, the chain at the back Of the
wagon slipped and let the end gate
drag upon the ground. Hank swore
lmpatiently, stopped his team and
jumped to the ground to fasten the
chain. He jerked it quickly through
the iron rings and then, swore vivid
ly again as the team, becoming
alarmed by the sudden noise, sprang
forward and galloped madly down the
avenue, making straight for the near
est entrance to the park. The horri-
fed Hank stood still long enough to
see the end gate banging out defiance.
Then he started after as fast as his
rubber boots would let him.
When officer Michael Flanagan
turned from his faithful guardianship
Nbf bevy of simpering nurse girls in
the park, he saw coming toward him
at full speed pair of wld-eyed horses
with an ice wagon swaying from side
to side. Behind the seat of the wagon
stood man trying desperately to get
hold Of the reins. At once Michael rec
ognized the waving yellow hair and
pale features of the driver as those
of the detested Hans, and in the same
moment there came to him the real.-
cation Of his opportunity for revenge.
He ran into the roadway and as the
flying wagon passed. caught the chain
