NEW MUSEUM RULES
THWART THIEVES

London.-The authorities Of the
British museum have under consid-
Grafton a set of new rules regarding
the reading room. 1t has been found
that occasionally frequenters of the
room take home with them books
which they have perused up to the
closing hour returning them on the
following morning This is contrary
to the regulations which forbid the
removal OF books from the reading
room.
Now and then, but not frequently,
according to one of the officials, the
borrower omits to take back the vol
umes.
Therefore, one of the new propos-
ais is that all handbags, dispatch
cases" and similar articles into which
books might be slipped shall be left
with the attendants outside the doors
Of the room. So far as regards hand
bags, this precaution has been en-
forced for some time, but the most
professional-looking dispatch boxes
and cases are allowed to be taken IN
by readers.
Sometimes, but again very rarely,
as the official pointed out, a not too
scrupulous reader will seize the op-
portunity to put some small book in
his pocket.
The reading-room attendants keep
a sharp but unobtrusive watch upon
the students and literary workers. II
at the closing hour or subsequently a
book should be missing immediate
steps are taken to trace 1t. "A dishon-
est reader, however may write upon
the borrowing slip spurious name
and thus evade detection.

On your way!" Mr.. Smith expostulated. Sick
him! Vamose!"
Three or four pedestrians paused to listen. Mon
sieur did not understand They undertook to assist
him. 1t was the Hotel Ritz! They assured Mon
sieur upon their words gentlemen and upon the
sacred honor of France that it the Hotel Ritz.
The three or four grew to dozen, and they assured
Monsieur it was the Hotel Ritz. Oh, la la! Mr..
Smith sat patiently waiting for the hubbub to STOP
and 1T only grew.
Il said cheap hotel!" he roared suddenly and
that mighty voice from Passaic extnguished the
Jabber about him the windstorm extinguishes
candle. This is no place for me! Gddap! Skiddoo!'
Whereupon the chivalry of France bowed low and
begged Monsieur to believe them when they assured
him it the Hotel Ritz. A sergeant de alLe nosed
his way through, and Monsieur could take it from
him that these gentlemen were telling the truth. He
gave way to an imposing individual who came out
of the hotel, wearing more uniform than Napoleon
ever saw. Mr.. Smith thought he the Chief of
Police; but ne was only the head porter, and he
out upon the growing mob with amazement in his
straight staring eyes.
A ND then came to him family the voice of an an

seemed to be slightly amused. The crowd fell hack

charming. Her blue eyes were alight with under

much obliged"
Certainly" With perfect gravity the girl
turned and spoke to the chauffeur. After moment
he touched his cap and climbed back into the seat.
The machine whirred and started to move
Thank you, ma am" Mr.. Smith said simply.
The girl smiled, nodded brightly, and entered an
other automobile which stood at the curb. Looking
back Mr.. Smith saw her swing about the Colonne

and she sat for long time staring out the window

CHAPTER III.

WHETHER Paris has the most perfect police
w system in existence because it is the wicked
est city in the world whether it is the wickedest
city in the world because it has the most per-
fect-well anyway they do it differently in Passaic.
In Paris the police have succeeded in establishing
cycle of tattetales, an endless chain which makes
every spy upon his fellows and the effect is
marvellous albeit unpleasant system of espionage.
That is, it is unpleasant when to think of
the manner of its existence; for its operation is
noiseess, unostentatious. 1t would not be possible
in any other part of the world.
Being blessed with such extraordinary facilities
Paris keeps close watch the casual stranger if for
other reason than that it keeps the intricate
chnery in motion Paris is not only always willing,
but glad to lend assistance to the police of any sister
city of the earth.
So, when cable despatch came from private de-
tectve agency in New York asking the Paris police
to locate W. Vaudeville Clarke, Paris DOTTED her
hat and went to work. 1t not surprising, there

was something akin to pity in the depths of his black
eyes. There in the world, eh Monsieur"
he queried quietly.
'Omi oni, omi! Magnifcent!'
M. Remi took his time about the next question.
His hair is gray? Almost white?''
His head is like the raven, Monsieur; but and
the little clerk poked the detective in his dstin-
guished ribs, there are hair dyes, en- Monsieur"
