was approximately 1900, which marks
a decrease of upward of 1000 in eight

SLEEP AND BEAUTY.

ArH sE
We have all had the necessity for
beauty sleep impressed upon us from
childhood up, but it is a need we
neglect Systematically as soon as we
escape from the guidance Of our
parents. II seems a waste of time,
but 1t is far from being SO. Nerves,
eyes, complexion, the entire system.
fight for their rightful moun of sleep;
not only sleep, but rest. The person
who feels tagged out and oyer-wrought
looks it, and to look that way is not to
look beautiful. 1t affects not only the
skin, eyes, carriage, ETC., but leaves
its indelible mark upon the expression,
in the form of either. discomfort, de-
preston or irritation.
To be beautiful is to feel beautiful,
well, content and happy.-Harper's
Bazaar.

whose.ear is open to temptation, and
the baron's household was no exception
to this rule. Coquenil (known now az
jacques and looking the stableman tc
perfection) found a dignifed flunky In
black side whiskers and whlte-sill
stockings who was not above accepting
some hundred-franc notes in return fer
sure information as to the masters abb
sence from home and for necessary as
sistance in the way of keys and other
things.
Ihus.it came to pass that on a certain
night In August, about two In the MORN
ing, Paul Coquenil found himself alone
In the baron's spacious, silent library
before a massive safe. The opening OF
this safe is another matter that need
not be gone into-a desperate case
justifies desperate risk, and all
experienced burglar-chaser naturally
becomes a bit of n burglar himself; at
any rate, the safe swung open in due
course, without accident or interfer-
ence. and the detective stood before 1t.
All this Coquenil had done on a
chance, without positive knowledge,
save for the assurance of the black
whiskered valet that the baron wrote
frequently in a diary which he kept
locked in the safe. Whether this was
true, and, if so. whether the baron had
been mad enough to put down with his
own hand a record of his own wicked
ness, were matters of pure conjecture.
Coquenfl was convinced that this jour-
nal would contain what he wanted; he
did not believe that a man like De
.Heidelmann-Bruck would keep a diary
simply to flrin With insipidities. II he
kept 1t at all IL would be because 1t
pleased him TO analyze. fearlessly, his
own extraordinary doings. good or bad.
The very fact that the baron was diff
ferent from ordinary men. a law unto
himself, made 1t likely that he would
disregard what ordinary men would
call prudence in a matter like this;
there is no such word as imprudence
for one who is practically %all-power-
full, and, If it tickled the baron's fancy
to keep a journal of crime, it was toll
erably certain he would keep 1t.
The event proved that he did keep
1t. On one of the shelves of the safe,
among valuable papers and securities,
the detective found a thick book bound
In black leather and fastened with
nedNy Sold clasps- III was the diary.
With a thrill OF triumph, Coquenil
seized upon the volume, then, closing
the safe carefully. without touching
anything else. he returned TO his room
in the stable. His purpose was &C.
complished, andanow he had only one
thought-to leave the hotel as quickly
as possible; IT would be a matter of a
few moments to pack his modest be
longings, then he could rouse the door
keeper and be off with his bag and
the precious record.
As he started TO act on this decision,
however, and steal softly down to the
! courtyard. the detective paused and

through the pages, utterly oblivious to

NJ month might be set forth in great
detail. 1t may also be told
briefly, which is better, since the result
rather thar the means is of moment.

practical worthlessness of the evidence

sary, and he abandoned, for the mo-
ment, his purpose Of proving that De
Heidelmann-Bruck had killed Martinez.

wheels of justice be made to. turn
against an individual who absolutely
controls the n OF their turning,
who is able to remove annoying magis-
trates with a snap OF his fingers, and
can use the. full power of government,
the whole authority of the Prime Minis
ter of France and the Minister of rus
tice for his personal convenience and
protection?
N This case was so extraordinary and
unprecedented that it could obviously
be met only df at alb by extraordinary
and unprecedented measures, Such
measures Coquenil proceeded to con-
