Ingenious BURGLAR Alarm.

The simple burglar alarm that has
been under test by the police authori-
ties in Dresden and Berlin seems to
have resisted all attempts to pass
without giving warning. 1t consists
of a curtain or portiere, wired with
fine conductors connected at certain
places with metal knobs, and when
this is drawn across the door or win
dow, or around the safe, the slightest
disturbance throws the knobs out of
contact and breaks the electric cir
cult The alarm may be signalled
by a series Of bells, lights, or other
electric appliances, either on the
premises or at the police station.
Cutting the material or interfering
with it in the slightest degree, has In
slant effect, and tho widest burglar is
unable to enter the premises having
this apparently trifiing protection
without giving notice.

Hand Run Lace.

Net laces run by hand are in good
style, and they may be copied even
without definite lace pattern by US
ing some imply designed lace and
darning in the cotton. linen or silk
floss upon the net, as nearly like the
original as possible.
Also there is way TO make your
own lace patterns. Any old piece
of lace spread out upon a sheet of
MANILA paper may be successfully
traced by the aid Of pencil or tracing
wheel, or by laying between the two
a sheet Of carbon paper and then care

CHAPTER XXI.
A Ladder Out Of Place.


At dinner Mr.. Jameson suggested
sending man out in his place for a
couple Of days, but Halsey was Ger.
tain there would be nothing more
and felt that he and Alex could man
age the situation. The detective went
back to town early in the evening, and
by nine O'Clock Halsey, who had been
playing goif-as man does anything
to take his mind away from trouble
was sleeping soundly on the big leath,
or davenport in the living room.
sat and knitted, pretending not to
notice when Gertrude got up and wan
dered out into the starlight. AS soon
as l was satisfied that she had gone,
however. J went out cautiously. had
no intention Of eaves-dropping, but
wanted to be certain that it was Jack
Bailey she was meeting. Too many

ed the hedge to break not far from
the lodge. and found myself on the
open road. Perhaps 100 feet to the
left the path led across the valley to
the Country club, and only little
way of was the foot-bridge over Cas-
anova creek. But just as was about
to turn down the path I heard steps
coming toward me, and I shrank into
the bushes. 1t was Gertrude, going
back quickly toward the house.
was surprised waited until she
had had time to get almost to the
house before I started. And then
stepped back again into the shadows
The reason why Gertrude had not
kept her tryst was evident. Leaning
o. the parapet of the bridge in the
moonlight, and smoking pipe, was
Alex, the gardener. I could have
throttled Liddy for her carelessness
in reading the torn note where he
could hear And could cheerfully
have choked Alex to death for his
audacity.

These arrangements were carefully
kept from the servants, who were only
commencing to sleep at night, and
who retired, one and all, with barred
doors and lamps that burned full until
morning.
The house was quiet again Wednes-
day night. 1t was almost a week since
Louise had encountered some one on
the stairs, and it was four days since
the discovery Of the hole in the trunk
room wall. Arnold Armstrong and
his father rested side by side in the
Casanova churchyard, and at the Zion
African church, on the hill, a new
mound marked the last resting-place
Of poor Thomas.
Louise was with her mother in
town, and, beyond a polite note of
thanks to me, we had heard nothing
from her. DR.. Walker had taken up
his practice again, and we saw him
now and then flying along the road,
always at top speed. The murder of
Arnold Armstrong was still unavenged,
and l remained firm in the position
had taken-to stay at Sunnyside until
the thing was at least partly cleared.
And yet, for all its quiet, it was on
Wednesday night that perhaps the
boldest attempt was made to enter
the house. On Thursday afternoon
the laundress sent word she would
like to speak to me. and l saw her in
my private sitting room, a small room
beyond the dressing room.
Mary Anne was embarrassed She
had rolled down her sleeves and tried
white apron around her waist, and
she stood making folds in it with fin
gers that were red and shiny from her
soap-suds.
We'll, Mary" said encouragingly,
whats the matter? Don't dare to
tell me the soap is out"
mo, ma'am, Miss Innes." She had
a nervous habit of looking first at my
one eye and then at the other, her
own optics shifting ceaselessly, right
eye, left eye, right eye, until found
myself doing the same thing. mo,
ma'am. 1 was askin' did you want the
ladder left up the clothes chute"
1.-THE what?" I screeched, and was
sorry the next minute. Seeing her

had gone white, and stood with her
eyes shifting more wildly than ever.
There's a ladder up the clothes
chute, Miss Innes," she said. Its
up that tight l can't move it, and
didn't like to ask for help until spoke
to you"
It was useless to Ensemble: Mary
Anne knew now as well as I did that
the ladder had no business to be
there. did the best could, how
ever. l put her on the defensive at
once.
"Then you didn't lock the laundry
last night?"
II locked 1t tight, and put the key
in the kitchen on its nail"
Very well, then you forgot win
dow"
Mary Anne hesitated.
"Yes'm," she said at last II thought
I locked them all. but there was one
open this morning"
went out of the room and down
the hall, followed by Mary Anne. The
door into the clothes chute was Sc.
curely bolted, and when / opened 1t
I saw the evidence of the woman's
story. A pruning ladder had been
brought from where 1t had lain
against the stable and now stood up
right in the clothes shaft, its end rest
ing against the wall between the first
and second floors.

Chicago Reporter Charges J. MediII
Patterson With Plaqiarism.

Chicago, April ia charge of pla-
gfarism has been directed against Jo-
seph Medill Patterson in connection
with the authorship of ''The Fourth
Estate" now running at the. Stude-
baker theater. His accuser is Eugene
Quirk, reporter employed by the
Chicago Examiner, who filed in the
federal circuit court a damage suit of
$4,000 against the playwright.
Mr.. Patterson, says Mr.. Quirk, used
in his newspaper play material which
he himself had wrought into novel
called Drifting" five years earlier.
Mr.. Quirk adds that Mr.. Patterson
must have been familiar with the con.
tents of the novel, because he himself
had sent the playwright copy after
it's publication and had received short
ly afterward a letter of acknowledge
ment from Mr.. Patterson.
Mr.. Patterson on the contrary, de-
MES that he ever read the novel in
question, or that he ever told Quirk
he had done SO. ~ '/
