Mr.. Raddason smiled sheepishly.
'T'n admit that I've considered the

happenings in connection with those
ancient rings. l may as well say I've
crawled all over the floor and 1 can't

uncomfortable over the matter"
Detective Fem was creeping around
the room, peering under chairs and
tables and bookcases, turning up the
corners of rugs. poking into every
crevice and Granny that might AFFORD
a hiding place for the jade ring. He
poked down into the crevices Of the
leather chairs without result At last
he emerged. hot and dusty, to resume
his seat at the table There he lighted
another cigar and prepared himself

When Detective Fem was called to
the Raddason residence for the second
time within three months he smiled
knowingly under the brim of his
SLOUGH hat All the way uptown he
was recalling the incident of the lost
jewel box and the simple solution OF
the mystery. If 1t pleased the million
aire to evolve plots for the detective
to untangle-why, Mr.. Fem was per-
fectly willing so long as Mr.. Radda-
son was willing to pay the fee.
The first fee bought a house in the
country; perhaps the next one will
furnish an automobile" chuckled De-
tective Fem as he emerged from the
subway and walked the short block to
the Raddason town residence.
Good morning, Mr.. Fenn." smiled
the millionaire as the detective entered.
What is it now-another robbery
Yes. A valuable ring which / had
just purchased disappeared from this
table while my back was turned"
The detective was instantly alert
when did it happen. sir"
Last evening about IL o'clock. I
will begin at the moment when step
ped into Flicksell's and bought the
ring. l had been wanting it for some
time. for it was a genuine antique.
History said it was the favorite finger
ring of one of the emperors OF the
Ming dynasty. The workmanship was
exquisite. with the delicate carving of
the Chinese artisan. The ring was
formed of carved ivory, and the set
ting was a perfect piece OF clear green
jade with dragon carved upon IT
"Flicksen had put a pretty steep
price on 1t, and l had been beating
him down until at last he met my
offer. 1 sent him a check for the
amount. and l stopped In there last
evening on my way to the club and
got the ring 1 dined at the club and
went to the theater afterward When
1 got home took the ring out and
laid IL on the table here. / turned
away to remove my 'overcoat, and as
approached the table again to examine
the jade ring / saw that It had van
ished. / have not seen IL since, nor
can 1 find any trace of its where
abouts- It's up TO you to find It for
me-"
Detective Fem flung aside his cigar
and twiried his fingers thoughtfully.
Anybody know you had purchas SEQ

Janan and Arbitration.

There seems to be no good reason
should hesitate to make advances &c
the United States for the negotiation
of an arbitration treaty. The United
States has not specifically informed
every country in the world of its read
illness TO make such a compact with il,
but 1t certainly has made clear to the
whole world in the most unmistakc-
BILE way its inclinations toward peace
able relations with all In the absence
of anything to the contrary any coun.
try is justified in assuming that the
United States would manifest a highly
sympathetic and receptive mood to
ward any practical proposal.
In the same issue of the Japan
Times, which reported a banquet at
which speeches made by men high n
office and in social position laudrd
the American plan of international ar
bitration, appears the following edi
torial under date of May G.:
1T is right and proper that these
two nations should join hands, to set
this example to the world. With many

is it unpopular with the makers Of
guns and explosives. We believe that
this factor in the making of war and
the manufacturing of rumor that
leads on TO war is too much over
looked by the public generally. The
Japan Times, in its issue of yester-
day printed correspondence from
London showing how deeply concern
ed are those who are interested In
the sale of explosives and of war
material Many of the men to be
found on this side of those advo-
eating war are also 10 be found in the
companies selling munitions. Not
only this, but, alas, there is more
than a suspicion that much money is
spent in the effort to create IN
easiness and suspicion, in order that
more and more money may be spent
upon the preparations for war even in
a time of profound peace.
This is phase of the question On
which light should be thrown for the
sake of the payer of taxes. The bur
den is terrible, and as Colonel Gaedke
has said: The most progressive and
the greatest states are precisely those
which suffer most under this burden
1t would, therefore. be well to lift the
curtain and let US see what is going
on inside. If the strings are
being pulled. and the skeletons are
being ratified by those who would
scare us into an hysterical rush to
arms, we ought to know it. We are
firmly Of the belief that much of this
kind of drum beating Is going on.
Here is a legitimate task, not only for
the peace societies but for all right
minded publicists."
This statement is in strict accord
with the utterance of eminent Japan
csc statesmen and the American min
lister at the banquet where the ques-
ton of International arbitration was
discussed in all seriousness. There is
no reason why Japan and the United
States should not be good friends
They are.

But when It cramps the pocketbook
Or tramps upon the toes

Right there are born some foes

A man will wink and say:
"Oh. well, 1 didn't make the worldl

And not a cent TO lose
