INSURED AGAINST BANDITS.
But Robbers Themselves Conducted
the Profitable Business.


The bandits of Manchuria and Mon
golia have adopted a new way of ac-
curing at least a portion of the goods
of the traveller. These mounted high
waymen In bands not only constantly
attack the peaceful native population,
but even rob travellers in broad day
light.
As a provision against this danger
an insurance bureau where one buys
banner at a cost Of about one-fve-hun-
dredth of the value of the property to
be insured is established there.
This banner carried by a traveller
will save him from the bandits attack.
for, curiously enough. they themselves
conduct this insurance business. But
it has its limitations.
I'VE paid our premium at the insur-
ance bureau" says a Japanese trav-

The idea that patchwork had its
origin In America is not founded on
fact. A thousand years before the
Christian era a queen OF Egypt went
down the Nile to her last resting place
under a wonderful canopy Of skins
that were dyed and pieced together in
q mosaic pattern. Years before this
work had reached perfection and &C
quired definite place among the arts.
Then. too, patchwork quilts were made
in England in the eighteenth century.

which Bobby forced upon her.
Slowly into the steel bound shadows
she went, her waxen faced dolly
clutched tightly against her throbbing

huge door scraped shut All was black

she heard the click of the metal bars
as Bobby playfully turned the han

the means of theAtle girl as she Iurch-
ed blindly toward the door of the safe
and scratched the metal thicknesses
with her tiny nails.
The dolly fell to the door the ends
OF the soft little fingers began to bleed
from frenZied contact with the bars
that ribbed the interior Of the safe
door, and after a few moments the
wee girls form sank Imply to the bot
tom of the vault, where she gasped
convulsively to breathe in the air that
was gradually losing its life support
ing qualities. Not many minutes
would elspse ere she had consumed all
the precious oxygen in the sutfocating
interior OF the necessarily air tight
vault.
AS Jimmy Valentine dashed into the
vault room he cried to Red Flanagan,
who was at his heels:
