fastened to give the baron his per-
sonal attention. The interview be-
tween the two men was a clash Of
keen minds. Neither one gained ad-
vantage.
After that Byrnes made q careful
examination Of the stuff that had been
found in the baron's possession. It
was very commonplace. In fact, 1t re-
sembled the junk that a small boy ar

dollars In bank notes, a small amount

of wax such as housewives use to
polish their irons, a card case, a bit
Of string and a couple Of fish hooks.
Surely some one Of these things
contained the germ of a thrilling de-
tective story. The local police said
no. Byrnes examined each particular
thing in his impassive way. The
brown eyes seemed sleepy and indif-
ferent. One thing after another was
tossed aside. But when he reached
the bit Of wax his 'eyes brtghtened and
he became the nan of action.
"What rs it," asked ono Of his as.
sistants.
Its the proof Of the crime" he said
tersely.
but it's only a bit Of ordinary wax"
The chief smiled indulgently.
That's where you're mistaken" he
said. "a close examination will show
you that 1t differs from every other
bit Of wax that ever existed"
How" was the. incredulous inquiry.

They did. They found it on the
sidewalk between the police station
and tho bank. The screw fitted the
lock plate of the door Of the bank, and
the hole from which It was taken was
filed with wax that c%orresponded with
the bit found in Shinburn's pocket.
Thus, the man who had made a for
tune by his Wits and outwitted the
police. Of two continents, was finally
betrayed by . piece Of wax.

Byrnea had the honor of entertaining
him in the Tombs. Many other de-
tectives claimed to have taken" the
great criminal at one time or another.

venient and suitable for them will be
arranged later in the season.
One objection to the standing of the
examination on June ID was that the
local teachers will not have been
chosen by the board of education prior
to that time. AS a license from the
local school system is good only III
the local system, those who might
have stood the examination here and
not have been reelected, if there
should be any would have gone to the
trouble of standing the local examina
ton without any good results having
been accomplished.
Voluntarily the teachers have ar
"anged to take the examination under
the pleasant arrangement that has
1een made so that they have agreed
to take the examination, but to take 1t
under circumstances that will be thor
oughly agreeable and convenient for
them. This arrangement meets with
the approval of all the teachers and
the superintendent.

V0RKMEH RACE AT TASKS
Strife is On. in Demolishing Two
Large Burned Buildings.
But the Laberers Are EnEaEed I'm =
Merry Battle TO See which of
the Gangs Can Accom-
plish the Most.

Workmen under two contractors have
entered into q tacit agreement and a race
in razing buildings is on at Sixteenth and
Fsrnam streets. Pedestrians now are in
terested in the two bodies of men coming
into the home stretch"
The work Of tearing off the two top
stories of the United States hank build
ing started into the fourth week Monday.
while workers on the walls OF the old
Ames building have been busy a little
longer.
Neither Phil Kunz. the contractor in
charge of razing the banks burned prop
erty. nor Walter Peterson. in charge OF
work on the Ames building, know that
there has been a race in progress, but
both admit that their workmen have
moved faster than they ever have on
other buildings.
While keeping their employers out OF
the secret. the lsborers on the two build
ings are watching each other closely and
a foot of brick work torn away from one
building adds zest to the work of the
men on the other. And with all the fast
work there has not been an accident on
either job.
When the second story is taken from
the banks property, in accordance with
the building inspectors orders. the men
will quit work unless by that time the
directors OF the bank have decided to tear
the structure entirely down for the imme-
date erection OF a new one.
Some of the directors are out Of the city
now and 1t is expected plans for the new
bank building viii be started as soon as
the directors can get together.

A large portrait Of Samuel Katz stood

Grateful for Valuable Life.
Rabbi Leo NJ. Franklin spoke in part as
follows:
I'VE are deeply grateful that such a
man as Samuel Kats was sent to touch
your life and mine. In reverential spirit
therefore We are come this night not to
pay to our beloved friend the idle tribute
OF words. but rather from his manner,
helpful. heroic and triumphant life, to
take inspiration for our lives and from
him to catch the spark that shall set
our souls aglow. as was his. with the
fire Of love, OF faith. Of ideslism and OF
duty.
In word. II was. above all, the deep
human sympathies OF Samuel Kats thai
made him the man beloved In life as he
Is now revered and honored in memory
In every relation Of life this human sym.
patty made itself manifest. In his home
among his friends. in his business rela-
where men turned to him instinctlvely
as to a wise counsellor. true adviser
a trusted friend. He seemed to have the
ability. only too rare with most of us. 10
put himself into the attitude OF the Other
person. and SO to Judge every case and
every man as he himself might have
wished to be Judged. Mere intellectual
judgment with him. clear though Il was
was always offset by the warm humanity
that permeated his being. II was for
this that men loved him and trusted him
with love that was never unworthy
and with a trust that was never be-
trayed."
Speaking on the course that MI.
Katz pursued in shaping his life. the
speaker dwelt on the dominating in
fluence OF his faith in Judaism. which.
he said, proved broad and widening to
the life Of Katz and imbued others who
were influenced by him and his work"
Samuel Katz held to one standard OF
morality. Rabbi Franklin asserted The
man to whom he paid tribute. he said.
was not one who had dual code, but
was one who held to one standard in
both his public and private life. He
characterized Samuel Katz as a very
hero OF righteousness"
