 There's a passage from the first courtyard into a second one, and from that you can go out either into the Place de la Madeleine or the Rue de PArcade. I've got man at each exit''

 They went to an imposing entrance with stately palms on the white stone floor and the glimpse of an imposing stairway.
 ''To think that I had forgotten this house!'' muttered CoqueniI.

 Coquenil nodded How about that teIegram?'
 
 The old man stroked his rough chin. '"The clerk gave me a copy of it, all right, when 1 showed my papers. Here 1t is, and much good it will do us:''

 Finally Tignol returned and report ed all well at the other exits. No one had gone out who could possibly be the woodcarver.

 The glass door at the foot of the stairs opened, and a handsome couple advanced toward them-a woman young and graceful. the man perfect type of the dashing bouIevardier.

She sat down.
 ''You are Mime. Cecile and you keep a tea room on the Place de la Made leine?"
 'tYes, sir.'' The woman went on to relate that the man before her had come into her establishment that afternoon and pre- vailed on a woman at a table, to whom he had introduced himself, to go out and drive a few blocks with him in 8 carriage. He offered her 500 francs. He assured her that he would not require her company for over sev- en or eight minutes. She accepted the offer. She knew that he had never met the woman before. Now the wo- man in question was brought in. She had been traced by Tignops men. She corroborated what Mime. Cecile had said, and both hurried out.
 ''Now. sir, what have you to say?" demanded the judge, facing the pris- oner.

How . Coal Eir, Protect. It..If.


A curious way In which II fire In the
heart OF a coal pile keeps Itself from
being put out Is noted In a mining
Journal. Such fires often start In the
interior Of large piles OF coal owing
to heat developed by slow oxidation,
which Ii prevented by the size OF the
pile from escaping into the air. Such
fires are difficult to put out owing to
the fact TINT the burning mass turns
the coal around II Into coke, which Is
nearly impervlous to water The pile
may thus be thoroughly drenched
without putting out the IRE, which It
never really reaches. The only way
to deal with the situation Is 10 drive
into the pile n sharpened iron pipe,
long enough to reach the burning coal.
and then to couple hose to the upper
end and turn on the water.

The Rich.

1t Is great mistake to believe TINT
the rich are holding us down As
matter OF fact they are pulling us up,
IL there We're no rich people to keep
our eyes glued upon the great gulf
between having and not having none
Of US would hustle. We have to have
the rich mans mansions prodding us,
his power scourging US aud his auto
mobile buttlng US to get anywhere ut
all. We have to see his wife and
daughters In silks and jewels and
realize what our own wives and daugh-
tiers without these things think of us
as providers to peel our coats Off and
get into the game. None Of us can go
out driving with such as we have and
suffer the rich man to whiz past us
In prism glass and FURNISHED brass,
throwing dust In our eyes and gnsoline
In our hair, without doing better In the
great area of human endeavor for the
next two or three days anyway. Bless
cd are the rich, for they Ill us with
shame and new resolve and make us
to wonder what In the Sam Hin we
have been doing all these years.-St,
