Shaking with rage, Amber stood for
long moment with pistol poised and
eyes wary; then, bewildered, he slow
~ lowered the weapon. well" he OBJ
served, refectively, 'I'm damned"
For the glittering thing he had mis-
taken for revolver lay at his feet;
and 1t was nothing more nor less than
a shoehorn. While as for the babu,
he had dropped back into the chair
and given way to a rude but reassu-
ring paroxysm Of gusty, silent laugh
ter.
I'm FOOL" said Amber; land If
I'm not mistaken. you're Laber-
touche."
With struggle the babu overcame
his emotion. Il am, my dear fellow,
I am" he gasped "And owe you
an apology. Upon my word, I'd for
gotten; one grows so accustomed to
living the parts in these masquerades,
after a time, that one forgets. For
give me-" He offered hand which
Amber grasped warmly in his unut-
terable relief. I'm really delighted to
meet you" continued Labertuche, Sc
riously. "Any man who knows India
can't help being glad to meet the au-
thor Of The Peoples Of the Hindu
Kush'"
"You did frighten me-" Amber con-
fessed, smiling. II didn't know what
to expect-or suspect Certainly, =
with glance round the anonymously
furnished room-"I never looked for
ward to anything like this-or you,
In that get-up."
"You wouldn't, you know" Laber-
touche admitted, gravely. Il might
have warned you in my note; but that
was a risky thing, at best. I feared
to go into detail-it might have fallen
into the wrong hands
'sNhose2" demanded Amber.
"That, my dear man, is what we're
here to find outfit we can But sit
down: we shall have to have quite a
bit of talk" He scraped heap Of
gaily-colored native garments off one
end of the charpoy and motioned Am
Der to the chair. At the same time
he fished a cigar-case out Of some re-
cess Of his clothing. These are
good" he remarked, opening the case
and offering 1t to Amber; II daren't
smoke anything half so good when at
work. The native tobacco is abom-
iaable, you know-quite three-fourths
flth."
"At work." questioned Amber, clip
ping the end Of his cigar and lighting
it. "You don't mean to say you travel
round in those clothes?"
But l do. It's business with me-
though few people know It. Quain
didn't; only had chance, one day,
to tell him some rather startling facts
about native life. This sort Of thing,
done properly, gives a man insight
into a lot of unusual things"
LAbertouche pulled his cigar into a
glow and leaned back, clasping one
knee with two brown hands and
squirting up at the low, discolored
ceiling. And Amber, looking him
over. was amazed by the absolute
fidelity Of his makeup; the brownish
stain on face and hands, the high-cut
patent leather boots, the open-work
socks through which his tinted calves
showed grossly, his shapeless, baggy,
soiled garments--all were hopelessly
babu-ish.
"And If It isn't done properly

lifting his shoulders expressively.

Keeping Overnight.
HE WORKED IN ELLIS

Shortly After Robbery.
Arrested on His Arrival in Kan
sas City After Leaving Salina.

Salina, Kan, April 5.-John ]. Rhoe.
the man who is supposed to nave stolen
a mail pouch from truck at Ellis last
Wednesday morning. containing more
than 81 900, was in Salina Friday night
and deposited 81, 300 in the safe at the
National hotel for safe keeping. He
called for it the next morning.
John Stonebraker, policeman, knows
Rhoe. but did not know that Rhoe was
in Salina. until this morning, when Woro
was received from Kansas city tnat
Rhoe had been arrested there, cnarseu
with the theft at Ellis.
Rhoe was yardmaster at Ellis when
he is said to have stolen the mall Sack.
Thursday night he handed IN ms resls-
nation, and Friday came to Sauna 10
see his wife, Mrs. Gussie Rhoe' anu
three children. Mrs. Rhoe mas TOT
some time been employed at motel.
After Rhoe resigned, the authorizes
became suspicious of him and Sunday
morning the authorities here ana at
Kansas City were notified TO Keep Il
watch and arrest him.
Sunday morning Mr.. and Mrs. Rhoe
left for Kansas City with the children,
but for some reason Mrs. Rhoe leII he5

say she is here now. -
Rhoe went on to Kansas City with
the children, where he was arrested by
the united states COVER =
Rhoe is well known in sauna, having
worked here for the Union Pac1flc
The clerk at the National did not ask
any questions when Rhoe asked him to
put 81 300 in the safe over night. Rhoe
however, kept $50 of the money IN his
pocket.
The arrest of Rhoe bears out the sup
position of the night agent at Ellis that
the man who stole the sack from the
truck knew that it contained upwards
of 81 900 consigned to Kansas City
bank from Ellis, and that he must have
been a man thoroughly acquainted
with the doings of the station at Ellis.

gained such Roadway that none of the
machinery could be saved and the IN

he sold it to Mr.. Seng, who will con-
duct the grocery and possibly make
