Tbs compiIers OF statistics know no
hounds One Of our most brilliant physi-
Est whose specuiations in the region Of
human chemistry have led him to make
most exhaustive researches. has analysed
the human anatomy into It's convertible
components. He reports as follows:
4 normal man of $50 pounds contains
in reducible nutrittve principles the
equivalent of 1000 hens eggs.
The gas Of the human organism Is suf-
icient TO initiate a balloon Of 1000 cubic
feet capacity.
A human body contains suficient iron
to make four nails OF centigTammss
weight.
A man of this weight contains enough
fat to make IS candles and leave over
enough grease to make q cake Of Mar
eeilles soap.
There is sufficient phosphorus to make
s06 boxes of parlor matches
The hydrogen portion Of the human
gas contents would all q balloon that
would lift the weight OF the contributor.
In addition to the foregoing. the human
body contains also six teaspoonfuis OF
salt. basin OF sugar. and - quarts OF
water.
What's the use? When ais said and
done, the human organism with all these
valuable contents could not be pawned at

continued her watch. She remained
alone until the curtain fell upon the
first act of the ballot A few minutes
later Peter returned. She knew at once
that things were going well. He sank
into chair by her side.

am yenturing upon bold stroke.
There is still something about the at

Violet pointed with her programme
across the mouse.
There he SITS" she remarked. "He
left his chair as the curtain went down,
but he could scarcely have gone out of
the box. for he-was back within ten
seconds"
Peter looked steadily across at the
opposite box. Guillot was sitting lit
tie further back now, as though he no
longer courted observation. Something
about his attitude puzzled the man who
watched him. With a sudden, quick
movement, he caught up the glasses
which stood by his wife's side The
curtain was going up for the second
act, and Guillot had turned his head.
Peter held the glasses only for mo-
ment to his eyes, and then glanced
down at the stage.
"My Godp he muttered. "The
mans genius Violet. the small mo-
tor is coming for ypu."
He was out of the box in single
step. Violet looked after him, looked
down upon the stage, and across at
Guillots box. II was hard to UNDER
stand.
The curtain had scarcely rung upon
the second act of the ballet wnen a
young lady who met from all the
loungers, and even from the doorkeeper
himself, the most respectful attention,
issued from the stage door at the En-
pire and stepped into the large motor
car which was waiting, drawn up
against the curb. The door was open
ed from inside and closed at once.
She held out her hands, as yet un-
gloyed, to the man who sat back in the
corner.

thought that you had forsaken me- 1t

He took her hands and held them
tightly, but he answered only in q
whisper He wore a somber black

A muller concealed the lower part of
his face. She put her finger upon the
electric light, but he stopped her.

"The man who was at its head when
it existed" Peter replied. "The crimi-

been done away with, The Double
Four has now no more concern with
those who break the law, save in those
few instances where great issues de-

But Monsieur Guillot still exists?"
He not only exists" Peter an
swered, but is here in London, a rebel
and a defiant one. Do you know who
came to see me the other morning!"
She shook her head.
"Sir John Dory," Peter continued.
He came here with a request. He
begged for my help. Guillot is here,
committed to some enterprise which no
one can wholly fathom. Dory has

can imagine, just now. Besides. / think

"Guillots is defiant" Peter replied
"He mocks at me He swears that he

it may be, before midnight tonight, and
he has dehed me to stop him"
But you will she murmured
softly.
Peter smiled. The conviction in his

The curtain was rising upon the first
act of the ballet as they entered the
most popular music hall in London and
were shown to the box which Peter
had engaged. The house was full
crowded, in fact, almost to excess.
They had scarcely taken their seats
when roar of applause announced the
coming of Mademoiselle Louise. She
stood for moment to receive her
nightly ovation, slim, beautiful crea-
ture, looking out upon the great house
with that faint, bewitching smile at the
corners of her lips which every photog-
rapher in Europe had striven to repro
duce. Then she moved away to the
music, an exquisite figure, the persona

sex. Violet leaned forward to watch
her movements as she plunged into the

No man would show his hand so OPEN

his face cleared little In the adjoin-l
