The Triplet Gang
HARRY p. PEPPERMAN.
CONTINUED from yesterday

In a few minutes they had pro-
cured one of the instruments and
connected it from the one cabin to the
other. a few minutes later the three
thieves entered their cabin and began
to survey their surroundings.
where will we put the loot?" Bill
asked. I'VE don't want to have it lay
around, but hide it where nobody will
notice 1T"
,''Well," answered one of his pals,
I'VE can put it in the wardrobe or in
the trunk"
IT think the wardrobe will be a
better place to hide it in"
"All right answered the other two,
1--WE agree with what the captain
says" The three then hid the valu-
ables and went out on deck.
In the meantime the two detectives
had heard the entire conversation
that had taken place in the next cabin
through the dictagraph, and as soon
as the three had gone out the de-
tectives entered their room and car
ried the three Valises with the loot
into their own cabin.
The steamer was just passing out
of the hsrbor of New York when one
of the thieves remembered he had
taken a pair of field glasses with him
in his valise.
"Wen, go and get it," said Bill. A
second later he came running as fast
as he could. We're found out! The
stuff is gone! Bill, what will we do?"
New York is only about a half q
mile away and we can swim it," "All
right" they answered, "all over
board" And not a moment too soon,
for just as they jumped the two de-
tectives made a grab for them, but
missed.
wen FIX you" Bill yelled up to
them, land you'll be sorry for what
you did today"
We now leave both parties for a
short time.
In two weeks the detectives were
back in New York. The valuables
were returned to the Randolphs, who
readily recognized them as their own,
and for time the robbery was for
gotten.
One day, as the two detectives were
walking along. one about a block
ahead of the other a man came run

As a nation, we Americans do not
know how to take pleasure-to amuse
ourselves. We take our pleasure, like
our work, too seriously. We go to ex-
tremes; we make hard work of our
vacations. If we can't play terribly
hard, and after the same fashion of
our neighbors who are better off, we
won't play at all. Some of us are so
afraid we won't play in the right way
in the fashionable way-that we just
give up trying altogether. Then our
bodies, and our minds, and our souls
pay the price of being denied relaxa-
ton and pleasure.
A clever Englishman said to- the
writer not long ago: You make haste
even in your amusements, so they lack
spontaneity and gaiety. You really
can't enjoy a dinner, don't you know,
when you race to it in taxicab with
your open watch in your hand. You
are so afraid of missing something at
dance that you never sit out
dance. You work just as hard as the
paid musicians. When ] ask an
American woman to sit out a dance
with me, that I may enjoy her con-
versation, she accedes graciously, but
she thinks I am not getting my
moneys worth"
We can't take the pleasure nearest
our hand. We reach out for the pleas
ures which some other fellow can
afford better than we can. We try
to find pleasure in the things we
can't pay for, says a writer in the
July Pictorial Review.
Now, there's Bill Graham. You may
not recognize him by this name, but
he lives in your town. Bill loves the
water, so does Bills wife. When
Bill was counting her, he used to
hire a rowboat or a canoe, and she
would steer their craft into shadowy

The Pyrameds' Inexhaustible Treasures

F'ifty-three centuries ago a king of
Egypt built his pyramid tomb at the
edge of the desert where the canal
of Joseph now spreads out to form
the oasis of Fayoum. The king was
Senusert H., and he did nothing of
great note in the world. His pyramid
is not a great pyramid. 1t is, i'm fact,
insignificant in comparison with the
immense works of Khephren and
Cheops near Gizeh.
Fifty-three centuries ago Senusert
built his pyramid-more than twice
as many years before the Christian
era as our years which are recorded
after the birth Of Christ. II is an an
tiquity almost incomprehensible. 1t
is difficult, almost impossible, to
realize that in that misty remoteness
of the past there was a civilization,
an art, a literature. Yet it has all
been brought clearly to the knowl-

Such dainty and attractive things
can be made by combining bits of
lace and ribbon with chiffon, net or
crepe de chine. If one is at all
handy with the needle, little touches
of hand mbroidery may be added
here and there. In this eXtravagant
age one cannot afford to buy all the
pretty little accessories, which de-
light the heart of the feminine, but
with a twist and "a turn and bit of
clever combining of materials, one
can fashion the loveliest of wearing
apparel.
A dainty boudoir cap, like the one
shown here, can be made from chif-
fon or crepe de chine, using pattern
1906, which includes three different
designs, for ten cents. The forget
me-not sprays and bowknots, used
for embroidering this cap, are from
pattern 1344S. They may be developed
in two shades of blue, two of green
and one of pink, in solid work. A

SHOWING THE GROWING TENDENCY TO DRAW ALL DRAP-
ERY TO THE BACK OF THE SKIRT

For some time we have noticed the
to arrange all fullness and
drapery at the back of the skirt,
leaving the front more or less plain;
this began no doubt, with the revival
coming, especially to slender figures.
This idea is illustrated effectively
in S404; it is a plain black taffeta
with a yoked bodice and a draped
overskirt. The drapery is arranged
in puffs at the back An inset vest
Of crisp, white organdie affords the
proper relief and the broad satin
girdle lends an effective contrast to
the dull finish of the taffeta. This
frock may be copied in size 36, with
5h yards of 42-inch material. Taffeta
is priced at s1.25 a yard and up.

tenance,
Dorothy introduced Mary Eliza
beth to Frank, whose face grew
quite as red as his hair when he
shook hands and mumbled some
thing that sounded like "pleze ter

"Pm pleased to meet you,' re-
sponded Mary Elizabeth in her po-
litest tone. And then there fell a
silence, during which everybody
tried hard to think of something to
say; that is, everybody but Davie,
who had to bite his lips to keep
from saying too much.
Dorothy eyed him suspiciously
'Davie Dear, what is the matter
with you?" she demanded; you're
just trying with all your might not
to grin.
"N-nothing's the matter. with
me-" said Davie, choking back a
giggle. "only-only," he caught
Franks stern eye and quickly
ended its a secret"
What about?"
Davie giggled right out this time.

Davies ear with such suddenness
that the latter gave a jump.

scared tone; Il can't stay here. If
I do Dorothy and Mary 'Lizabeth

why, | haven't said a single,
solitary word! Aren't you the
meanest boy!"

declared Davie sulkily; girls are
all alike. Come on. Frank" He
leaned over to whisper something
in Franks ear. something which
made that young man jump quickly
TO his feet and hurry around the
corner of the house, with Davie at
his heels.
"shall We follow them?" Dorothy
asked Elsie.
Elsie hesitated. She had only met
the girls that day and was still
feeling rather shy. Perhaps your
brother wouldn't like it," she said.
Pooh! What do we care?' cried
Dorothy; II s'pose they're going out
to the stable to see Henry, our
handy man He's nice. Once he
was sailor and he can remember
ever so many adventures.
Mary Elizabeth turned her nose
skyward
Sometimes he remembers things
that never happened at all" she
declared, with a saucy grin; some
times they couldn't have happened
to anybody, let alone Henry, my
father says"
We'll he's nice, Just the same"

Elsie shook her shiny red curls
and declared that she'd rather sit
on the grass and talk to the girls.

isn't it?" agreed Dorothy, cross
ing her legs under her and looking
over at Elsie's home with a medita-
tive eye; I'm glad your house'll
have lights in it at night. l used
to imagine I saw things"
Things What kind of things?"
asked Elsie glancing across the
street in alarm.

you did us a mean trick that day
and now we've got you" said Bill.
We'll also get your partner
In the meanwhile, the other detec-
tive had remainded outside, and, not
seeing his companion come out, he
began to suspect that it must have
been trap. 1t did not take him long
to call up police headquarters and ask
them to send down a squad of police
nor did it take long for them to ar
rive. :,
He briefly explained the situation to
them and then they surrounded the
house. Several of the police tried to
enter the house, but they were I'M
able. Then they took larger meas
ures and broke the door open. The
place was empty, but when they
came to the garnet a horrible sight
was before them.
Two bodies lay on the floor motion
less; another, which was that of Bill,
the leader of the gang, was wriggling
in painful agony while the detectives
who had been led into the trap was
sitting upon the bloody floor, re-
volver in each hand. When the po-
lice entered the room, Bill made one
attempt to get up, but fell down in a
heap upon the floor. The detective
was examined, but he had only re-
ceived two slight flesh wounds, from
which he recovered in a few days.
The three thieves, when examined,
were dead.
Later the detective who had been
trapped told how he had managed to
get ahold of his revolver and fought
pistol duel with the thieves and
came out victorious.
Thus was exterminated gang of
thieves, who, If they had not been
done away with, would probably
have continued their work of robbery

A pleasing, practical feature of this
little dress is the separate sleeveless
underwaist TO which the skirt is at
tached. This underwaist allows all
the weight of the garment to fall
from the shoulders. which is the most

blouse which accompanies this skirt
