rister judged that the key belonged to
a vault of some kind; but, as for the
book, all he could make out was that
1t seemed to be a code for the transla-
ton of a Russian cipher.
AS soon as breakfast had been dis
posed of Mr.. Saunders himself started
for the hotel to make his excuses and
the exchange, but while waiting on
the curb for a hanson he was notified
by messenger that he must be in court
at a certain hour to take care of a case
he had supposed to be further down
on the calendar. Instead Of the hotel
he went to court. The fur trimmed
overcoat was hung up In the cloak
room, and three hours later, when the
case vas concluded, 1t was missing.
There had not been another fur trim
med overcoat ON the hooks, and Mr..
In that court had one. Some thief had
managed to enter and appropriate 1t.
The sacri1ege of the act unnerved the
barrister for a time, and then be went
home to find that a stranger had been
waiting for him for a long time. 1t
was a Russian, and he had brought a
fur trimmed overcoat with him. He
introduced himself as connected with
the Russian embassy, and he owned
up that the little book was a new code
just issued by his government and
that the key opened a safe In which
state secrets were kept. He had only
been temporarily intrusted with the
articles, and their los Smight send him
back to Russia and then to Siberia.
The man was half frightened to death,
and of course the barrister pitied him
and was willing to do anything for
him. The check boy had Numbered
and given out the wrong coat. If the
book and the key had been left behind
with the valet all would have been
well, but they had been taken along
with the %overcoat, and the overcoat
was now on a third mans back. When
the Russian was told OF its loss he
wanted to commit suicide at once.
OF course the only way to do was to
set the police at work, and the bar
rfsteY took the initiative. One of the
underoficiaIs Of the court remember
ed when questioned that a well dressed
man, who was not recognized, but who
was supposed to be a barrister, had
penetrated to the cioakroom and later
on had reappeared with a fur trim
med overcoat on his arm and disap-
peared. In leaving the court he had
passed within five feet Of the barris-
ter. Stimulated by a generous reward,
the police began to hunt for clews, and
It was not long before they found n
In a pawnshop. The thief had come
In and offered to sell the coat, and,
being a decent looking man, he proba-
bly, did not anticipate being question
ed. When asked to prove himself the
owner he became confused and walked
out. The pawnbroker had gone to the
door after him to call an officer, but
as none was at hand he had to stand
and see the man disappear In the
crowd. It was found that the man
had tried two other shops Of the same

state railway commission affecting re-

children by railroads transporting
them to and from their schools. The
question was brought TO the attention
of the commission some time ago and
an opinion asked for as TO whether
such action by railroad in carrying
students regularly from their homes
TO schools and return would be an act
OF discrimination.
In the ruling given by the commits

of the law governing this is that such

and for the one purpose OF taking
them TO and from school, would not
be a discrimination.
