Perhaps no amusement attraction on

few years.
The Stroebel device is a dirigible

flights were made with this machine

work; then he stood up and looked

The stately room, with its panellcd
ceiling of carved oak, was lined with
bookcases the rare volumes which
had been collected by one of the
Desboroughs, who had been a bib

there were one or two cabinets
containing rare manuscripts. illum-
mated missals, miniatures, and other
things dear to the heart of the co..
lectOr. These cabinets were always
iccked: but Sir Reginald had given
Reece the key and permission TO
examine anything in which he might
be interested; and Reece now went
TO one Of the cabinets and looked
at is absently.
Everything in and about Thorden
Hall interested him. The story of
the stolen ruby. the abducted child,
was always haunting I'm; he was
always on the search for something
that would throw a light upon the
mystery which hung over the house
of Desborough. Still absently and
mechanically he took small bunch
of keys from his pocket. unlocked
the cabinet, and looked at the con-
tents. They had been very badly
arranged, for the modern and the
antique were cheek by iowl; here
a miniature of Cosway's or Opies,
there a quite modern portrait.

turned them over with little inter

NOTICE Of A
BIG SW|NDLE

The Department OF State, al Wash
ington has received report from the
American Consul General at Bar
celona, Spain. in regard to the band
OF swindlers operating in various
towns and cities in Spain. who make
practice OF writing TO persons In the
United States respecting the impris-
onment of a relative and the guar
dianship of a child.
The Consul General states that the
alleged prisoner generally describes
himself as political prisoner from
Cuba; he is al the point of death and
has but one friend-the prison priest
through whose good Offices he is
enabled to smuggle an occasional let
ter out of the prison forr.
The prisoner is rich. He has a for
tune in cash on deposit in the United
States, but the certificate of deposit
is concealed in secret receptacle of
his yalise; the yalise itself has been
taken possession of by the court at
Carthagena, which tried and con-
demned him, and will be held until
the prisoner or his representative has
satisfied the costs of the trial. The
prisoner has an only daughter; dy-
ing in his prison. his sole thought is
OF this beloved offspring. He has no
friend or relative In Spain to whose
care he can commit her. In this
emergency his thoughts turn to the
distant relative in the United States
whom he has never seen and of whom
he knows only through hearsay or the
family tree. viii the distant rela-
tive assume the guardianship of the
darling daughter, and the darling
daughters fortune of about $4,000?
III the distant relative accepts the
trust one-fourth of the prisoners en-
tire fortune will be the material re-
ward. The good priest will go at
once to the United States and take
the darling daughter with him. There
is but one condition: the ready
money which the prisoner brought
with him TO Spain has been exhaust
ed; the distant relative is therefore
requested to send enough to liberate
the valise containing the secret re-
ceptacle and the certificate OF depos-
it. This money is to be sent to the
good priest at an address indicated.
and, having received 1t. the good
priest will at once secure the vafise
and start for America. the "fand of
the free and the home of the brave"
with the darling daughter.
I The above Is generally the first let
ter OF the series. II is quickly fol-
lowed by another In which the pris-
oner pathetically states that his
strength is rapidly failing and the |
end is near. He beseeches his dear |
distant relative to assume the trust

An agreeable surprise greets the
United States at the opening OF the
second quarter OF 1910. Our trade
relations with the rest of the world
are in far more satisfactory shape
than. few weeks ago. anybody in
this country expected. That maxi
mum scale of the Payne tariff which
was TO go into operation against such
nations or dependencies as would
neglect or refuse TO grant US a square
deal at their custom houses. wakes
mp TO find that Its occupation Is
gone. Our minimum rates are ex-
tended TO the entire world. AS usual
in all agreements in which eonees-
sions are made By both parties, some
persons on each side in the Canadian
American pact say that the other OBJ
tanned the best of the bargain.
Charges are made In Washington
that we surrendered too much to
Canada in granting her our minimum
scale On the other hand, some
Canadian politicians and newspapers
are declaring that the Dominion has
been victimized. This view is taken
BY a few London papers also. The
London Morning Post says that the
United States brandished big re-
yolyer'' over Canada's head In the
shape of a surtax which would. II
enforced. have injured US, and thus
compelled Canada TO give something
for nothing. adding that "it is too
the interest of American diplomacy.

its own victory. SO as to smooth the
path for further conquests later on"
