CHAPTER xII-(contInued.)

Monsieur" he went on, and there
was a tense note in his voice, the
ambassador of France had disap-
peared, gone, vanished! We searched
the house from the cellar to the serv-
ants quarters, even the roof, but
there was no trace of him. The hat
he usually wore was in the hall, and
all his other hats were accounted for.
You may remember, Monsieur, that
Tuesday was cold, but all his top-coats
were found in their proper places. So
it seems, Monsieur" and repression
ended in a burst of excitement, "if
he left the embassy he did not go out
by either door, and he went without
hat or coati"
He stopped heIplessly and his gaze
alternated inquiringly between the be-
neYolent face of the chief and the ex-
pressionIess countenance of Mr..
Grimm.

repeated eff your search of the

Linsesd Meal as Tonic Food.

The great tonic value OF Hnseed
meal is evidenced by the fact that
most of the so-called patent stock
foods and condition powders are large
ly made up of linseed meal It is q
laxative feed ant for this reason large
quantities of it should never be fed
as a daily ration. It is especially suit
ed to young stock, being rich in grow
ing material, such as protein and ash
Indeed there is no class OF farm ami
mails to which some linseed meal
cannot be fed to advantage, especial
ly when the animals are deprived for
long periods of green or succulent
feeds Linseed meal takes the place
of the high-price patent tonic stock
feeds and costs on an average only
about one-tenth as much Every well
regulated stock farm should always

Carrots and rutabagas are about

winter in the order named
Mangels and carrots keep well over
winter when properly stored
The best place to store roots is in a
root cellar near where they are to be
fed Such a cellar may be a part OF a
barn, basement, or IL may be built

In most places the root house can be

Ordinarily cement is the only material
that has to be purchased The gravel

great distance on most farms. While
the temperature in a root house should
never fall to the freezing point, il

Count di Rosini, the italian ambas-
sador, is at dinner with diplomats when
messenger summons him to the en-
baSsy, where a beautiful young woman
asks for a ticket to the embassy ball:
The ticket is made out in the name OF
Miss Isabel Thorne. Chief Campbell or

head detective. are warned that a plot Is
brewing in Washington, and Grimm goes
to the state ball for information. His at
tentfOn is called to Miss Isabel Thorne,
who with her companion, disappears.

Mexican legation, is found wounded
Grimm is assured Miss Thorne did 1t; he
visits her. demanding knowledge Of the
affair. and arrests Pietro Petrozinni- Miss
Thorne visits old bomb-maker and they
discuss a wonderful experiment. Fifty
thousand dollars is stolen from the office
of Senior Rodriguez, the minister from
Venezuela. and while detectives are in

her that if Monsieur Boissegur signed
the letters Tuesday night he was, at
least, alive; and If he came or sent
for the cigarettes Wednesday night,
he was still alive. I shall call at the
embassy this afternoon. No. it isn't
advisable to go with you now. Give
me your latch-key, please"
Monsieur Rigolot produced the key
and passed it over without a word
And one other thing" Mr.. Grimm
continued, please collect all the re-
volvers that may be in the house and
take charge of them yourself. If any
one, by chance, heard burglar prowl-
ing around there tonight he might
shoot, and in that event either kill

When the secretary had gone Mr..
Campbell idly drummed on his desk
as he studied the face of his subor-
dinate.

It's Miss Thorne again." said the
young man as If answering a question.
Perhaps these reports I have re-
ceiYed today from the Latin capitals
may aid you in dispeIling that mys-
terry" Campbell suggested, and Mr..
Grimm turned them over eagerly.
Meanwhile our royal visitor, Prince

The young mans teeth closed with
a snap.

Her Infinite Variety.

made thereby a sensation
Such a sensation, in fact, that short
ly another woman was smoking, and
then another.
But as more and more women smok-

and less, until at length they made no
sensation at all.
That ended it.

were not of a private nature. If you
would care to look at the copies Of
them?"
He offered the duplicates tentative
ly. Mr.. Grimm read them over slowly,
the while Monsieur Rfgolot sat nerv-
ousIy staring at him. They, too,
seemed meaningless as bearing on the
matter in hand. Finally, Mr.. Grimm
nodded and Monsieur Rigolot re-
sumed:

another strange thing happened.
Monster Boissegur smokes many ciga-
rettes, Of a kind made especially for
him in France, and shipped to him
here. He keeps them in a case on his
dressing-table. On Thursday morning
his valet reported to me that this case
of cigarettes had disappeared"
"Of course" observed Mr.. Grimm,
Monsieur Boissegur has a latch-key
to the embassy"
"Of course"
Anything unusual happen last
night-that is, Thursday night?'
Nothing, Monsieur-that is, moth
ing we can find"
Mr.. Grimm sat silent for a time and
fell to twisting the seal ring on his
finger. Mr.. Campbell turned around
and moved a paper weight one inch
to the left, where it belonged, while
Monsieur Rigolot, disappointed at their
amazing apathy, sQuirmed uneasily in
his chair.
1T would appear, then" Mr.. Grimm
remarked, musingly, that after his
mysterious disappearance the ambas-
sador has either twice returned to his
house at night, or else sent some one
there, first to bring the letters to
him for signature, and later to get
his cigarettes ?"
"Certainement, Monsieur mean,
that seems to be true. But where is
he? Why should he not come back?
What does it mean? Madame BOisse-
CUR is frantic, Frustrated! She wanted
me to go to the police, but I did not
think it wise that it should become
public, so I came here"
Very well" commented Mr.. Grimm.
