for a honeymoon. Wedding trips and
business are unmiXable. If you would
not have the one disillusioned and the
other destroyed. keep them far apart.
Love can wait it's hour, but when for
tune knocks upon the door we must
be there to throw it wide Perhaps in
a year from now" She paused and
averted her cheeks.
Perhaps in year from now
what? l cried eagerly. Her voice
became very low.
Nothing in particular. ! was only
about to say that IL in year from
now you have not changed your mind
and your business affairs are so
grounded that you can leave them in
safety for period, it might then be
proper for you to ask the fortunate
lady"
But a year seems a lifetime to one
who loves her as do. And she might
become tired OF waiting" | expostu-
lated.
Then I would not imagine that she
had your best interests at heart, or
that she would be a particularly desir-
able person to choose as a life com
panion. This is. of course, supposing
that she understood the reason for the
delay. This is my sisterly advice to
you, having no idea, of course, who
the charmer may be whom you have
in mind" The wisdom of her advice
seemed unanswerable and | remained
mute before it, My hand falling upon
hers and clasping it longingly was my
only reply.

hours. Would you have the greedi-
ness to charge me $4,000 for days
work?" LeDuc's lips tightened into
thin smile.
Il certainly should | am very i'm
pudent in some respects, and | should
charge you the full price even though
the transaction took me only ten min
utes. ] have tried to emphasize that
point as one of the reasons why
will do harder, longer and more in
telligent work than will the police
man who only gets his SO a day. Put
on the other hand, and to balance
the scales between us. of course the
more get the more you get. take
il for granted that you would rather
get 100000 back than nothing at all.
Also you must remember that there Is
the contingency that ! may fail COM

Then again, may recover but small
portion of what has been stolen, and
in that case my fees will be insignifl-
cant and my time practically wasted.

eTage crook-catcher, and while don't
wish TO sound egotistical, ! don't be-
lieve that the rule holds good in my
case. Furthermore, l can mix with
ladies and gentlemen among any sur
roundings, as well as with profession
al criminals, without betraying my
self to either class. which is in itself
considerable advantage, for the
criminal can spot the average city
policeman. although he be in plain
clothes, as readily as you could should
he put on dress suit and enter your
drawing room. In addition to that, l
am not bound by rules and regulations
or the instructions of superiors who
may or may not be competent to di-
rect me, and neither am i always look
ing forward to the hour when 1t Is
time for me TO go off duty and take
my rest. Your city sleuth is paid few
dollars a day for certain hours of
work, expects no reward as a general
thing, and therefore more or less me-
chanically performs his work and
then goes to his home the same as
any other workman. | do not blame
him for it, but it illustrates the weak
ness of the system. In addition to
that, he probably has a dozen other
somewhat similar affairs in his mind,
and his work is more of a general
than special character. If he is
running along the trail OF one criminal
and strikes that of another which
seems little warmer, he is likely to
be diverted, since all evil doers are
fish In his net. On the other hand, when

pectation OF receiving substantial re-
muneration in case | succeed, and /
am not to be diverted by other mat
ters which only indirectly concern
me; and neither am | at all particular
as to the hour when l shall quit my
days work. These and other facts
which / will not take the time to men
ton, added to my natural fitness
for the work, have made me success
ful many times when the regular po-
lice force failed. You have lost $40,-
600, and l make this proposition to
and no pay, as the doctors put it, and
therefore an advantageous arrange
ment for you. If the regular police
get your money back / will charge you
nothing for what ] may have done
in the meantime. Neither will / pre-
sent you any bill for the capture of
the guilty party or parties unless ]
get some or all OF your money back as
well. But on all funds that l regain
for you / will charge you n 25 per
cent. commission. ! don't see how
anything could be any faircr than
that"
Uncle Abner, who had remained
quiet during LcDuc's utterances now
sat up and began to whimper. Ten
per cent. is plenty enough for any one

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even In
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless.
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until / commenced using Cuti-
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever Four weeks
after we began 10 use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura REM
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until ! would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. b.

whined the voice from the sheets.
Then as LeDuc. with an Indifferent
shrug of his shoulders, arose as If to
depart, the lean hand of Uncle Abner
shot from beneath the coverlet and
hooked itself to the tails of his coat.
Very WELL IL you must take ad-
vantage of a sick man, suppose will
have to submit. I'll be lucky IL don't
die in the poorhouse after all, the way
everybody imposes upon me-" That
LeDuc was half inclined then and
there to throw up the proposition in
disgust could tell by the curl of his
lip, but after a second of reflection
he turned to me with little smile
which told me that he had made his
allowance for the nature of the man
with whom he was dealing.
Very we'll. Sign this agreement
then" he commanded shortly, as he
handed the quibbler "A paper and a
fountain pen. Carefully Uncle Abner
ran his colorless eyes over the printed
form, inserted the necessary words
and figures and affixed his signature.
LeDuc thrust it into his pocket, and
first having his new client repeat
what he had previously told the po-
lice, turned his attention to the room
without comment upon the statement.
The safe he examined with infinite
attention to detail. The hole that
had been drilled in the combination
( occupied his attention for at least ten
minutes in itself. He measured it,
peered into it as terrier peers into
rat hole, examined it by the aid of
magnifying glass and actually
smelled of it. The shattered pieces of
lock he examined slowly, pondering
over them for many minutes as he
slowly turned them around and
around in his hands. AS for the room
itself, the floor and the walls, he went
over them inch by inch, and having
at last finished that task asked me
to show him the closet in which / had
found the old man. In the hallway
saw him suddenly stoop and pick up
some small object which he thrust
hurriedlS into his pocket without
showing it to me. Inside and out we
went over the house for a full hour,
and then at his suggestion returned to
my room where we seated ourselves.
I asked him if he had discovered any
thing.
yes. The explosion occurred at
22 minutes past three" Ee replied, as
he blew long cloud of smoke. de-
randed that he tell me how he knew
that.
Simply because the clcck on the
mantle stopped at that hour. | gave
it little shake when l noticed that
it had stopped and it started up again
as merrily as you please. so | guess
the concussion is what put it out Of
business temporarily" he smiled. Sim
pie and obvious as this fact had been
l had not noticed it in my survey Of
the room. and not particularly fiatter-
ed at my own lack OF discernnent. l
