Sypher himself betrayed some evi-
dences Of nervousness as he sat for
ward and lifted the case by its leathr

curious, speculative smile. &.

cupation. You know, these Burmese
are a curiously pious folk; when one
of them grows rich he employs the
major part of his fortune In building
a temple-or in some such work. This
particular gentlenan-a very wealthy
merchant-chose to give half OF what
he had to the restoration Of the Pool
of Flame to the Buddha from which 1t
was originally stolen. But he, too,

An article that has real merit

such is the case with Chamberlain's

many dealers. Here is one of them.

O'Rourke heard him gasp and was
conscious of his hastened respiration
Watching the man intently, he saw
a strange shade Of pallor color his
face.
"'Tis meseff," said the adVenturer,
that's no more superstitious than ye,
sir. Yet I'm willing to confess I'm
glad the things out OF me hands at
last"
Sypher seemed to recollect himself
as one coming out Of a state Of stu

ruby carefully into a pocket OF his
trousers. Gene" he said crisply.

At this juncture Danny's knock took
him to the door "Mongsere Raoul de

EVERY MOVE CREATES SOUND
Scientific Fact Not Known to ALL
Acuteness Of Hearing Among the
Lower Animals.

It Is very difficult to make some per-
sons believe that nothing can move
without making sound although il
may seem to be absolute silence to-
them Everything that moves dis
turbs the air around It and sets up a
kind Of wave motion that spreads
through the atmosphere in all diree-
tions When these wave motto ) are
strong enough a sound is heard That
nothing is heard is no evidence that
there is no sound, for other living
things may hear what men cannot.
The motion that is started In the
air when anything Vibrates or moves
suddenly has often been compared to
the motion of the surface of still wa.
ter when we drop pebble into
pond. But there is this great differ
ence The eye can see the wave made
by the smallest glass bead you can
find, but the ear is not nearly so sen
sitive. and unless the waves are pret
ty high In the atmosphere the human
ear cannot detect them as sound.
The lower animals and birds have
much better ears than human beings
