by the scoundrele. II we tried to

play that game exceedingly we'll. Now,
goodnight. Well have you out Of all

days. There will not be any past;

please let it be quick I want to
see my father"
Jones eyes sparkled. And you
have my word that he wants to see
you. But I dare not tell you"
do you think he would object to
Mr.. Norton?" she asked, studying the
rug.
In what capacity?" he countered,
forcing her hand.
"As-as a husband?" bravely.
Jones in turn studied the patterns
in the rug. 1T is only natural for
father to look high for his daughters
husband. But, after all, an honest
man is worth as much as anything
know OF. And Norton is honest and
loyal and brave
Thank you, Jones. I intend to

There is an old adage-"
But she interrupted him. IF you
have new adage, Jones, shouldn' t
mind herring It. But I'm only just
out Of school, where old adages are
served from soup to pudding. Good
night"
And Jones went to the rear Of the
house, chuckling.
IN the passing it might well be OBJ
served that the Hargreave house had
remarkable menage. There was a
gardener, a cook. and maid; and the
three Of them reported to Jones each
night before going to bed. They were
all three detectives from one Of the
greatest organizations in America.
Finding themselves unable to lure
Florence away from the erV1rons OF
the Hargreave home, the Black Hun
dred set some new machinery in mo-
ton. Thep proposed to rid the house
OF every one in It BY perfectly logi-
cal device. But the first step In this
new move was going to be extremely
delicate and risky. It was no small,
adventure to enter the HsrgreaVe
home; and yet this must be done. So
finally Spider" Beggs was selected
for the WORK. The man could pTaotio-
ally walk over crockery without caus-
ing a sound; he could climb house
by the window ledges; and he could
hold his breath Hike those professional
tank swimmers
Three or four nights after the Par
off fasco, Jones started the rounds,
putting out the lights. He left the
one in the hall till the last, for 1t was
his habit, after having turned off that
light, to stand by the door for several
minutes, watching. One never could
tell.
On the other hand, Spider" Beggs
never approached a house till an hour
after the lights went out. Persons
were likely to move about for some
minutes later; they might want some
thing to eat, a drink of water. So he
remained hidden behind the summer
house till long after midnight. When
at last he felt assured that all in the
Hargreave house were asleep, he
moved out cautiously. Both his future
and his pocketbook depended upon

it. She first thought of changing
the clock; then she concluded to drop
the letter exactly where she found it
and t. st to luck.
When Florence returned she ex-
planned that her absence had been due
to some II ing household affair.

lily to ask you to tea tomorrow, where

smile that quite deceived the other
woman. i shall be glad to go to the

.|S SDEN|EDPATEN TO M ALPINE
 GOAL CLAIMS

A. A. Jones, first assistant secretary of the interior has rendered decision declaring the claimants to the Detroit group of coal claims in the Cook inlet region, Alaska, are not entitled to patents, according to an announce ment made at the land commissioners office at Seattle. The claims embrace 16.O0 acres.
 Secretary Jones holds that tl dis covery of outcroppings of coa does not constitute development work and that mere prospecting cannot be considered development work"
 The Detroit group of coal claims, al so known as the McAlpine group. con sists of 2S2 locations made by Detroit, Chicago and Seattle people, involves 70 square miles of coal lands in the vicinity of Homer. Alaska. The loca- tions were made in 1905. A large number of the locations weT7 cancell- ed because the locators failed to apply for patent within the three ears al lowed by law. The remah 1g loca- tions were consolidated in half score of corporations formed for the purpose under the 1908 coal law, and filed in the land office in Juneau on the last day of the period during which filings could be made.
 In connection with the McAlpine To- cations several prominent men of Chi cago and Detroit were indicted for fraud, but they have never gone to trial.
 w. H. Mackay and Andrew J. M. Hosom, of Seattle, J. M Business, of Chicago, and w. w. McAlpine and George w. Ross of Detroit, are among those most prominently known in con nection with the applications for pat ent.

i C0MP ARSON IF STRENGTH OF
 A E M | [ S

The French army consists not of l 3,000.OO0 men, but double that number 1 6,000,GO0, half of them have been under | fire; 3,000,000, have not left their gar risons. Few in France realized that i Gen. Joffre holds this tremendous army in reserve. Every man of this 3,000,000 is under 30, and fully trained and adequately equipped for battle. ready to march at a moments notice Opposed to the French, the 3,000,000 hat have been under fire, are not 1 1,50O,O00 Germans, but 2,5O0, 0,000-not 30 army corps, but 56.
 With 500,O00 British troops and in the neighborhood of 100000 Belgians, the allies have on the western front 8, 3,600,OO men, against 2,500,00O Ger mans. Owing to Gen. Joffre's care ful nursing of the troops, the forces actually on the firing line are roughly equal. Of the French 5000, ,000, half are doing the fighting; the other half relieve them in the trenches and fill the gaps caused by the casualties. The forces are stretched over a bat tlefront which now reaches 375 miles.
 About 100000 French troops lie between the Argonne and Alsace. Of this number the army operating in the Verdun district totals 100000. In Al sace, there are 25O,OOO The remain der are in the lower Vosges passes and at various points along the Mouse. The long line from Rheims to Arras by way of Soissons and Rove absorbs most of the balance of 2,0O0,0OO, and the full 3,OOO,OOO are accounted for when it stated that the French troops are also cooperating with the Brit ish around LaBasse, Armenieres, and Ypres.
 The 6,00O,OO strength of the French army is arrived at as follows: The active army includes three classes un- der the flag of 100000. With these go the reserve in the active army, that is, men of the four proceeding classes, or 2, OOO,OOO. This gives 3,5OO,OO0, all under 2S. In addition are the first class of territorials (under 3O) 5OO,- 900; and the remaining 2,000,000 are made up of 1914 and 1915 classes al ready under the colors (about 10O0,- OO0) colonial troops, Algerians. Mor- oceans, Senagalese, foreign volunteer corps lover 100000, and the Foreign Legion.
 These 6,O0O,O0O could be expanded to 5000 900 by a general call to arms, as was resorted to for the revolution ary wars in 1793. The additional g. 500OO0 would be made up of territor- ials, between 30 and 45. The question still remains: Why did Gen. Joffre, with his tremendous resources in men allow the Germans to sweep across Belgium and down to the gates of Parisi
 Briefly stated. the answer is that upon the outbreak of the war the Trench concentrated mainly on the East, leaving the northern forts of
 Maubeuge, Lille, Laon, LaF'ere and
 Rheims inefficiently manned. When
 the Belgian army delayed the German army at Ldege, Gen. Joffre took ad- vantage of this respite and moved an
 army to the valley of the Mouse and
 the Belgian frontier. He struck, but
 under unfavorable conditions.

Chicago. May l2.-"There are 1900
persons in Cook county at this moment

ner Peter NJ. Hoffman in his bienni Al
report The report, the coroner said,

Suicides increased from 523 in 1911
to 554 i'm 1912 and 572 in 1913. This is
an increase far in excess of the in
crease in population. 1t is a special
doctrine of Socialists that the numbe.'
of suicides in any community is IA re,
liable gauge by which to measure the
community's efficiency in the line of
social justice. This increase should
become the subject of thoughtful in
quiry on the part of the educators,
moralists and social workers."
The report shows 32S persons were
killed in Chicago last year with fire
arms. exactly twenty more than all
