CHAPTER ~.
The Fleeing Woman.

Mr.. Grimm went straight to quiet
nook of the smoking-room and there,
after a moment. Mr.. Campbell Joined
him. The bland benevolence of the
chiefs face was disturbed by the
slightest questioning uplift of his
brows as he dropped into seat op-
posite Mr.. Grimm. and lighted cigar.
Mr. Grimm raised his hand, and
servant who stood near, approached
them.
IAN ice-here." Mr.. Grimm directed,
tersely.
The servant bowed and disappeared,
and Mr.. Grimm hastily scribbled some
thing on a sheet of paper and handed
it to his chief.
There is reading, in the Morse
code, of n message that seems to be
unintelligible," Mr.. Grimm explained.
81 have reason to believe it is in the
Continental code. You know the Con-
tinental-I don't"
Mr.. Campbell read this:
"St5ut man fed qaje neaf j5nsef-
at5f," and then came the unknown.

That was all, apparently. The soft
clatter of the fan against the arm OF
the chair ran on meaninglessly after
that.
May l bring you an ice?" Mr..
Grimm asked at last.
''If you will, please" responded the
senorita, "and when you come back
I'll reward you by presenting you to
Miss Thorne. You'll find her charm
ing; and Mr.. Cadwallader has monop-
olized her long enough"
Mr.. Grimm bowed and left her. He
had barely disappeared when Mr..
Rankin lounged along in front of Miss
Thorne. He glanced at her. paused
and greeted her effusively.
"Why, Miss Thorne!" he exclaimed.
'Tm delighted to see you here. ! un-
derstood you would not be present.
and"
Their hands met in a friendly clasp
as she rose and moved away, with a
nod of excuse to Mr.. Cadwallader. A
thin slip of paper, thrice folded,
passed from Mr.. Rankin to her. She
tugged at her glove. and thrust the lit
tie paper, still folded. inside the palm.
rs it yes. or nor" Miss Thorne
asked in low tone.
Frankly, l can't say" was the re-
ply.
He read the message" she ex-
planned hastily, land now he has gone
to decipher it"
She gathered up her trailing skirts
over one arm, and together they glided
away through the crowd to the strains
of a Strauss waltz.
I'm going to faint in a moment
she said quite calmly to Mr.. Rankin
please have me sent to the ladies'
dressing-room."
II understand" he replied quietly.

planned, 'is in the Continental

The chief read II of glibly:
Stout man. red face. near conserv-
atory door Bring over when G goes
Very well," commented Mr.. Grimm
ambiguously.
With no word OF explanatigI. he
rose and went out. pausing at the door
to take the ice which the servant was
bringing in. The seat where he had
left Senorita Rodriguez was vacant:
so was the chair where Miss Thorne
had been. He glanced about inquir-
ingly. and a servant who stood stolid-
ly near the conservatory door ap-
preached him.
Pardon, sir, but the lady who was
sitting here" and he indicated the
chair where Miss Thorne had been sit
ting, tainted while dancing. and the
lady who was with you went along
when she was removed to the ladies'
dressingroom. sir"
Mr.. Grimm's teeth closed with a lit
tie snap.
Did you happen TO notice any time
this evening a stout gentleman, with
red face, near the conservatory doorg'
he asked.
The servant pondered a moment.
then shook his head.
No. sir
Thank you"
Mr.. Grimm was just turning away,
when there came the sharp. vibrant
cra-a-sh, of a revolver. somewhere off
to his left The president! That was
his first thought. One glance across
the room to where the chief executive
stood in conversation with two other
gentlemen, reassured him. The chol-
eric blue eyes of the president had
opened little at the sound, then he
calmly resumed the conversation. Mr..
Grimm impulsively started toward the
little group. but already Gordon was
being drawn there-a Gordon of quiet
faced, keen-eyed men, unobtrusively
forcing their way through the crowd.
There was Johnson. and Hastings.
and Blair. and half dozen others.
The room had been struck dumb.

quiring looks, and the plaintive whine
of the orchestra, far away, faltered,
then ceased. There was one brief
instant of utter silence in which white
faced women clung to the arms OF
their escorts. and the brilliant galaxy
of colors halted. Then, after mo-
ment, there came clearly through the
stiffness, the excited, cultural COM
mand of the German ambassador.
Keep on blaying. you tam fools!
Keep on blaying!"
The orchestra started again tremu-
lously. Mr.. Grimm nodded silent
approval of the ambassadors COM
mand, then turned away to his left, in
the direction of the shot. After the
first dismay, there was a general move
ment of the crowd in that direction.
a movement which was checked by
Mr. Campbell's appearance upon a
chair. with smile on his bland face.
No harm done." he called. "One
of the officers present dropped his re-
volver, and II was accidentally dis
charged. No harm done"
There was a moments excited chat
ter, deep-drawn breaths of relief. the
orchestra swung again into the inter
rupted rhythm, and the dancers
moved on. Mr.. Grimm went straight
to his chief. who had stepped down
from the chair. Two other secret
service men stood behind him. block
ing the doorway that opened into a
narrow hall.
"This way" directed the chief
tersely.
Mr.. Grimm walked along beside him.
They skirted the end of the ballroom
until they came to another door open
ing into the hall Chief Campbell
pushed Il open. and entered. One Of
his men stood Just inside.
What was it, Gray?" asked the
chief.
"Senor Alvarez of the Mexican le-
cation. was shot" was the reply.
"Dead?"
"Only wounded He's in that room,
and he indicated door a little way
down the hall. "Fairchild. two serv-
ants and physician are with him."
"Who shot him."
Don't know. We found him lying
in the hall here"
Still followed by Mr.. Grimm, the
chler entered the room, ana together
they bent over the wounded man. The
bullet had entered the torso just be-
low the ribs on the left side.
IT'S a clean wound" the physician
was explaining. THE bullet passed
through. There's no immediate dan
ger"
Senor Alvarez opened his eyes, and
stared about him in bewilderment;
then alarm overspread his face, and
he made spasmodic efforts to reach
the inside breast pocket of his coat.
Mr.. Grimm obligingly thrust his hand
into the pocket and drew out its con-
tents, the while Senor Alvarez strug-
gled frantically.
Just a moment" Mr.. Grimm ad'
vised quietly. I'm only going to let
you see II 1t is here. Is it?"
He held the papers, one by one, in
front of the wounded man, and each
time a shake of the head was his an
swer. Al last Senior Alvarez closed
his eyes again.

FOR KILLING PLUM cURCULI0
Earring Method Can Be Advantage
ously Practiced-AIl Ladybugs
Should Be Liberated.

"The plum curculio winters In the
adult stage, emerging in the spring
just as the fruit buds begin to swell.
says Prof. j. G. Sanders, head of the
economic entomology department OF
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin. Immediately,
it begins to feed on the young foliage
and fruit buds and should be treated
with strong spray of lead arsenate.
as this is the only stage at which an
arsenical poison is effective in controll-
ing the pest.
THE curculio is distinguished from
the plum gouger in that it never pene-
trates the fruit stone The female
curculio deposits her eggs in crescent
shaped cuts, which she makes on the
surface Of the fruit. Seven to ten days
later, the larvae emerge and about
two weeks after this they leave the
fruit, crawl into the ground. where
they spin cocoon and pupate. In
this stage of the life cycle the insect
can be killed by intensive cultivation
of the orchard.
Where labor is cheap the Earring
method of control is advantageously
practiced," continued Prof. Sanders
This system involves the use of a
| canvas, held about waist high under
the tree, while the tree is Jared with
padded pole, the curculios falling of
upon the canvas where they can be
sorted out and destroyed. Any lady

FREE REMEDY HELPS CHILDREN

Many a mother has learned of a
way of avoiding sickness in her fam
ily especially among the children, by
the use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
it is mild and never gripes. 1t is all
that a child's remedy should be,
though it is good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. 1t is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics,
which should not be given to chill
dren under any circumstances.

An orchard neglected for one year
virtually puts it back three years.
The size of an apple can be tnf1u-
enced to quite a large degree by pick
ing.
Keep the orchard clear of all dead
brush, it being a harbor for injurious
insects.
The cellar used for storing fruit
must be kept cooler than the vege-
table cellar.
The ideal time for picking apples is
a matter that must be settled to a
large degree by the individual.
The coolest weather does not kill
the insects. Therefore spraying is the
safest method of killing them.
Pears and apples keep better If
picked little green. Some pears rot
from the core outward ii allowed to
ripen on the tree.
The first advantage of fall planting
is that 1t induces the grower to get
his nursery stock earlier than if
planting in the spring.
Any kind of fruit tree will die when
planted in ground that is all the time
saturated with water. The tile ditch
is necessity in such places.
Trees set out in the fail do better
when the winter is moderate, as the
ground is drier and the trees make q
greater growth the next season.
If your trees have been affected
with leaf hight during the summer,
spray them with bordeaux mixture
after the crop has been gathered.
Fall pruning is better than no prun-
ing. f YOU have some hardy varie-
ties OF iruit trees that need pruning.
there is no danger in doing it in the
fall

Nine times out of ten when a child
complains and you don't know ex-
actly what is the matter with it, it
needs laxative-its bowels are con-
stipated. Syrup Pepsin will correct
the trouble, tone up the child and
soon it will be we'll again-wonder-
full results have been secured with
Syrup Pepsin over night.
You can buy it of any druggist at
fifty cents or dollar a bottle, the
latter being the family size, but you
are invited to make a test of it first
at the doctors expense. Send him
your address today and he will send
you a free sample bottle direct to
your home. Then when satisfied buy
it of your favorite druggist.
For the free sample address him.
