The real cause of their leaving is
just what is the matter with the Sara
toga valley.

day from a visit to Wamsutter, where
he went to take a bunch of bucks and
to see how his hocks progressed. he
says they have a great deal more
snow out on the Desert than we have
here and have had no wind to novel it
and it lays like a blanket all over the
ground. He also reports a shortage
of feed on the Desert this year, which
will count in case the winter should
turn out to be severe.

CHAPTER XXI.
sIlp 81 Paper.

~ Sip OF Paper.
When the light Of returning con.
sciousness finally pierced the black
lethargy that enshrouded him. Mr..
Grimm's mind was a chaos Of vagrant,
absurd fantasies: then slowly, slowly,
realisation struggled back to it's own,
and he came to know things. First
was the knowledge that he was lying
nat on his back, ON q couch, 1t
seemed; then, that he was In the dark
An utter, abject darkness. And final.
" came an overwhelming sense Of 81
lence.
For a while he lay motionless, with
not even the movement of an eye-lash
to indicate consciousness, wrapped in
/ q delicious languor. Gradually this
passed and. the feeble flutter of his
heart grew into a steady, rhythmic
beat. The keen brain was awaken
ing; he was beginning to remember.
What had happened? He knew only
that in some manner q drug had been
administered to him, a bitter dose
tasting of opium; that speechlessly,
he had fought against it, that he had
risen from the table In the restaurant.
and that he had fallen. All the rest
was blank.
With eyes still closed, and nerve
less hands inert at his sides he listen
ed, the while he turned the situation
over in speculative mood. The waiter
had administered the drug, of course.
unless-unless it had been the courte-
Gus stranger who had replaced the
newspaper on the table! That thought
opened new fields of conjecture. Mr..
Grimm had no recollection of ever
having seen him before; and he had
paid only the enforced attention of
politeness to him. And why had the
drug been administered? Vaguely,
incoherently, Mr.. Grimm imagined
that in some way it had to do with the
great International plot of war in
which Miss Thorne was so delicate
and vital an instrument.
Where was he? Conjecture stopped
there. Evidently he was where the
courteous gentleman in the restaurant
wanted him to be. A prisoner? Prob
ably. In danger? Long, careful at
tention to detail work in the Secret
Service had convinced Mr.. Grimm
that he was always in danger. That
was one reason-and the best-why
he had lain motionless, without so
much as lifting finger, since that
first glimmer of consciousness had en-
TERED his brain. He was probably
under scrutiny, even in the darkness,
and for the present it was desirable to
accommodate any chance watcher by
remaining apparently unconscious.
And so for long time he lay, list
ening. Was there another person in
the room? Mr.. Grimm's ears were
keenly alive for the inadvertent shut
fling of foot; or the sound of breath
ing. Nothing. Even the night roar
of the city was missing; the silence

was oppressive. At last he opened his
eyes. A pail of gloom encompassed
him-a pail without one rift of light.
His fingers, moving slowly. explored
the limits of the couch wherein he
lay.
Confident. at last, that wherever he
was, he was unmatched. Mr.. Grimm
was on the point Of concluding that
further inaction was useless. when his
straining ears caught the faint grating
Of metal against metal-perhaps the
insertion of a key in the lock. His
hands grew still; his eyes closed. And
after moment door creaked slight
" on its hinges, and breath of cool
air informed Mr.. Grimm that that
open door, wherever It was. led to the
outside, and freedom.
There was another faint creaking
as the door was shut. Mr.. Grimm's
nerveless hands closed involuntarily,
and his lips were set together tightly.
Was 1t to be q knife thrust in the
dark? II not-then what? He ex-
pected the flare Of q match; instead

caution was all but forgotten in his
surprise. As the steps drew nearer
his clenched fingers loosened: he
waited.
Two hands stretched forward in the
dark touched him simultaneously

singular thrill shot through him. but
there was not the flicker OF an eye or
the twitching o. q finger. The woman

Appreciated the "Posle."

A pathetic incident occurred in the
Waits school in Pittsburg. One of the
teachers brought beautiful red rose
to school. which, holding up before
the scholars. she asked. "Now, chill.
dren. how many of you know what
this is?" Nearly every little one
shook his head, to indicate ignorance.
One small boy and a couple Of little
girls piped out. with great import
ance. ITS q posie. please, ma an"
But no one had ever heard OF rose.
Most Of the children had never seen
one before. The teacher put 1t in a
glass of water to preserve It. and
when school was dismissed each child
was rendered supremely blissful BY
the gift Of tiny petal. AS they filed
out of the door. each little waif
clutched his treasure tightly in his
small hand. while he murmured softly
to himself the name. "Pitty wose. pit
ty wose."

Cement Talk No. I

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story Of
some fire disaster. involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss Of human
lives. The annual fire losses Of tho
United States are measured by tho
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth Of property was wiped out by FIRE in
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent fire and frs
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in .himy, son- f,spysg
building continuation. Experience has proved
that fireproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries fireproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
eoneress has come to the front a. the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of cement in building is becoming moro
and more common, due to its fireproofness,
durability and economy. When building any
thing from the back porch steps to an offics
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. The use of UsiUe,sal Pe,tkssl
Cement in the concrete will insure cement Of tho
best quality possible to manufacture. Uaizs,-
sat is handled everywhere by the best dealers.

Il beg pardon" insisted the new
conner pleasantly. He folded the pa
per once and replaced it on the table.
One hand fingered for just the frac-
ton of moment above Mr. Grimm's
coffee-cup.
Aroused by the remark, Mr.. Grimm
glanced around.
"Oh, thank you," he apologized
hastily. Il didn't hear you at first.
Thank you"
The newcomer nodded, smiled and
passed on, taking seat two or three
tables down.
Apparently this trifiing courtesy had
broken the spell of reverie, for Mr..
Grimm squared around to the table
again, drew his coffee-cup toward him,
and dropped tn the single lump of
sugar. He idly stirred it for a mo-
ment, as his eyes turned again toward
the open window, then he lifted the
tiny cup and emptied it.
Again he sat motionless for a long
time, and thrice the nem conner, only
few feet away, glanced at him mar
rowly. And now, it seemed, a Pc
culiar drowsiness was overtaking Mr..
Grimm. Once he caught himself nod
ding and raised his head with jerk.
Then he noticed that the arc lights in
the street were wobbling curiously,
and he fell to wondering why that sim
gle flame sparkled at the apex of the
capitol dome. Things around him
grew hazy, vague, unreal. and then,
as If realizing that something was the
matter with him, he came to his feet.
He took one step forward into the
space between the tables. reeled, at
tempted to steady himself by holding
on to chair, then everything grew
black about him, and he pitched for
ward on the floor. His face was dead
white: his fingers moved little, nerv-
ously, weakly, then they were still.
Several people rose at the sound
of the falling body, and the newcomer
hurried forward. His coat sleeve
caught the empty demi-tasse, as he
stopped. and swept It to the floor.
where It was shattered. The head
waiter and another came, pell-mell,
and those diners who had risen came
more slowly.
