that's some sport.
Mt. Weather is one of the high
spots in the Blue Ridge range,
about sixty miles west of Wash
ington. So it doesn't make any
difference what direction the wind
is blowing there is free space on
every hand for the kite flying.
One of the shops at the station
is devoted exclusively to making
kites. All are box kites.
Each division of the box kite is
called a cell. In the government
kites the front sell is a triplane
and the rear biplane like the
Wright aeropane. This gives the
kites better balance, raising the
front cell a little when the kite
is in flight. The planes are mus
lin over frames. The rear cell OF
the head kite, which carries In
struments, is painted black. The
helper kites are white all over.
The kites are flown ON a thread
like steel wire of enormous
strength.
Up on Mt. Weatehr the wind is
so steady the man at the kite only
has to let go, and the kite leaps
up swiftly and noiselessly as a
giant white bird.
Then the windlass man pays
out the wire swiftly and the kite
travels out over the valley until II
is small as a bird. At the end
of 500 yards of wire there is a
loop. Another kite is tied to the
loop with light rope about rs
yards long.
AT the end of another SOC
yards is second loop and a sec
ond helper kite is sent out over
the valley. Then a third and a
fourth, until, If the wind is light
and very hight flight is desired,
there will be dozen kites on the
wire.
You look up at the kites. The
two or three nearest you can see
easily, though the farthest is very
small. The fourth is just a speck.
The fifth is clear out of sight. And
the head kite can be observed
only through the telescope. On
favorable days the head kite has
reached an altitude of four miles.
Often, when the upper air cur
rents blow in different directions
the kites will break away. The
station scientists pay 81 for the
recovery of a helper kite. and
$3.50 reward for the head kite.
Once when the wire snapped in
the southeast gale the kites kept

CHAPTER v.

The evening newspaper that
had been most interested in writ
ing up the mystery came out with
a solution of 1t. It had been
claimed by certain parties that
the police and detective force of
the city was incompetent. To test
this claim, bright reporter had
been detailed to do all the mis-
chief in the different buildings.
The Waterman, having been told
that no stealing was intended and
being well paid for silence, told
nothing.
The lady's handkerchief was
left purposely to throw the Off
GERS Off the right track. The
chief, with a mans usual wrong
way of understanding womenis
belongings, had taken the wrong
side of the handkerchief for the
right side and had read the work
ed trade mark "nenil erup;" if
he had turned over the handker-
chief he would have read "pure
linen" The reporter had heard,
through secret channels, that the
chief considered "nenil erup" a
clue and so he signed his news
paper post card letters ''Nenil
Erup."
A gang Of bank robbers had
made tunnel connecting the
bank vaults with the basement of
an adjoining building. The gang
had been prosecuted for other Of
lenses before the bank could be
robbed. The reporter had larn-
ed of the tunnel and he moved
the stronghold into the tunnel
while the police were guarding ali
Of the building except the vaults.
He allowed the cashier to discover
that the stronghold was missing.
In the evening the reporter re-
turned the stronghold without be-
ing discovered.

Suddenly, and for the first time,
he noticed laundry mark in one
corner Of the handkerchief. Care
ful search of the city laundries
disclosed the fact that a Mrs.
D used such a mark on her
linen, and from her he learned she
had recently lost a handkerchief
while on a business visit to the
offices of Lawyer Barrett. he
also explained the words "Nenil
Erup" was the manufacturer
mark and meant ''pure linen"
spelled backwards. The chief was
now satisfied that the writer OF
the cards had no connection with
the safes and was no doubt one
of his political enemies. Return
ing to his office he found a letter
which stated the Stanhope Safe
company had wagered $1,000
with the Vernet Safe company
that one of their firm could Sc
cretly open any safe manufactured
by the Venet company. The
wager had been accepted, the
safes opened as all knew, and
now the Stanhope company re-
quested the chief to accept the
enclosed $1,000 as payment for
his trouble and worry.
