SYNOPSIS

Maverick Narkom, superintendent of
Scotland Yard, London, finds himself
hopeleSsly at the mercy Of thieves,
murdereTs and other criminals in a
gigantic crime wave spreading over the
city. He has fought yainly against it.
At last he confides TO Sergeant Petrie
that Cleek, the reformed crook. now
secretly aiding the law he once broke,
is the only man who can successfully
wipe out the epidemic of crime. Cleek
he knows. is secretly at work on his
own account.
owing to the fact that Cleek has
seldom appeared twice with the same
face, Narkom could not Identify MIN
If he knew where to look. An &C
is inserted In the daily papers asking
Cleek to call at Scotland Yard. Mean
while the crimes increase.

Beware the Horse.

How often have you stroked a horses
nose in the street? A horse suffering
from CHAMBERS sneezes at intervals and
scatters the germs all around. The
disease spreads very rapidly, and death
from CHAMBERS is one of the most
frightful known. 1t is never wise TO
pet strange horse for that reason
alone.
Anthrax is a disease from which
sheep suffer. Human beings catch ii
from infected hides or wool, and for
that reason it is sometimes known as
wool sorter's disease" It Is extreme
ly dangerous. giving rise to a form Of
blood poisoning. Woolly toy animals
made from natural wool are not al
ways safe TO give a child on that ac-
count.
Eye troubles are frequently caught
from pets, too. Dogs and cats often
have something the matter with their
eyes, but people fondle them without
any thought of the consequences.
Whenever pet has an eye affection
the eyes should be washed with a
strong solution Of boraClc acid.

About a year ago l met a Young
man at Grant park. We were intro.

Geek Of the Forty Fares ADd Story Th E

ing the boat and Scrdm ping up the water
stairs, and hard on the heels of 1t the
first whistle of the coming train; and
Narkom, glancing round. saw a slouching
ill-clad fellow whose appearance was in
distinct contrast with his manner of
speaking come into view upon the sum-
NIT of the pier. His complexion was sal
low his matted hair seemed to have gone
for years uncOmbed; a Turkish fez-
dirty and discOlored-was on his head,
and bver his arm hung several bits of
tapestry and shining stuff which be-
tokened his calling as that of a seller of
Oriental draperies.
This much Narkom saw and would have
gone on his way giving the fellow no
second thought but that a curious thing
happened. Moving away toward the foot
path which led from the pier to the town,
the pedlar caught sight suddenly of the
man standing at the gangplank; halted
abruptly. looking round to make sure that
no one was watching, then, without more
ado, screwed round suddenly on his heel
walked straightway to the gangplank and
boarded the boat.
The Mauravanian took not the slightest
heed of him; nor he of the Mauravanian
Afterward, when the train had arrived
NaTkom thought he knew why. For the
present, he was merely puzzled to under
stand why this dirty, greasy Oriental
pedlar who had been at the pains to cross
the channel in a fishers boat should do so
for the apparent purpose of merely going
back on the packet to Calais.
1.-The Apaches. ="
BY this time the train had arrived, the
pier was alive with people, porters were
running back and forth with luggage and
there was hustle and confusion every
where. He looked along the length of the
vessel to the teeming gangway The Maui
ravanian was still there-alert as before;
his fixed eyes keenly watching.
A crowd came stringng along, bags and
bundles done up in gaudy handkerchiefs
in their hands, laughing, josting, jabber-
ing together in villainous French
! Here they are, gOvner-here they are!
The Apaches" said Dollops in shaking
whisper That's the lot, sir Keep your
eye on them as they come aboard and if
they are with his-Crumbs! Not a sign;
not blessed one!'

He stopped and sucked in his breath
and let the rest of the sentence go by

in sight upon the pier a dapper little
! French dandy, fuzzy of mustache, minc-
ing of gait with a flower in his button

him with shock of remembrance that he

COTTON GOSSIP

Sic EN-. bear,
The market is sliding off pretty fast
on better weather conditions in the
southwest and lower spot basis. The
bulls. however, show courage, assert
ing that healthy reaction will put
new complexion on things.
Spot brokers say that spinners seem
to be taking cotton ION call" and
that would leave them as short as be
fore They are UNIV Hing to pay the
high prices asked in the South, where
spots are holding steadier than tu-
lures In some quarters it is believed
that sDinnerS will come in and buy the
staple freely on this decline.
Il is said that jobbers and retailers
have been caught short and are will
ing to pay per cent. over the open
market quotations for immediate ship
ment Weavers have cleaned their
shelves of stock and are sold ahead
for the next sixty days. As yarns
have advanced &c in week, 1t is rea-
sonable to suppose that spinners Will
have to buy soon to keep pace with the
demand for their product. That is one
reason for the confidence Of bulls in the
market.
Dry goods men say that the rapid rise
is due not to the high prices of the
raw material, but to shortage of goods
for delivery within the next two months
Some say that there is a large out
standing short interest in October, both
in New York and New Orleans, and
that this option viii recover lost ground
