enters a Broadway restaurant and there
comes face to face with the gangs leader,
Bralne. -
After the meeting, during which neither
man apparently recognizes the other. Har-
greave hurries to his magnificent River
oa'e nome and lays plans for making his
escape from the country. He writes a let
ter to the girls school In New Jersey
where eighteen years before ne had myS-
teriously left on the doorstep his baby
daughter, Florence Gray. Ne also paws
q visit to the hangar OF a daredevil aviator.
Bralne and members of his band sur
round Hargreave's home at niqht. but as
tney enter the house the watchers outside
see a balloon leave the roof. The safe Is
found empty-the million which Harqreaye
was known to have drawn that day was
gone. Then some one announced the bal
loon had been punctured and dropped into
the sea.
Florence arrives from the girls school
Princess Olga, Braine's companion. visits
her and claims TO be a relative. Two bo-
gus detectives call, hut their plot Is foiIed
ny NORTON, a newspaper man.
BY bribinHs the captain OF the Orient
Norton lays a trap for Braine and his
gang. Princess Olga also visits the ORR
ent's captain and she easily falls into the
reporters snare. The plan proves abor-
tive through Braine's good Iutx and only
hirellngs fall into the hands of the police.
After falling In their first attempt, the
Black Hundred trap Florence. They ask
her for money, but she escapes, again
f0iIing them.
Norton and the countess call on Florence

Hundred who have been watching his
movements, he rushes to the water front.
A thrilling race In motor boats ensues.
Jones drops the box into the sea and with
his automatic sets fire TO the pursuing

The Weeks illustrated Story
STILL PALS BY THOMAS =. wHI1e1oez

IT was dusk when the old clown
came in from his walk and slowly
mounted the long stairs. which
creaked mournfully with his
weight. The fire in the wood stove
had almost gone out. He put on an
other stick. turned on the draft and
sat for some moments in silence. rub
bling his attenuated hands.
Aided by long years of constant
makeup, time had done its deadly
work upon his face. The result was a
network of involved lines-lines that
crossed and r~ecrossed and ran into one
another, presenting a sort Of curious
facial puzzle. At a short distance these
lines seemed to resolve themselves into
a picture. in which. like a composite
photograph. all the scene of the mans
life had left their traces.
He went over to a battered leather
trunk In the corner. opened 1t. took out
a huge scrap book and began reading
from its yellow pages. 1t contained

The old man, absorbed in his occu-
patton. read on and on, at times stop
ping to brush his cheek or blow his
nose with n tattered silk handkerchief.
Suddenly his ears were greeted by an
unfamiliar sound. He raised his head.
To one who lives In solitude an unusual
trife Is always an object of curiosity.
He listened intently.
A cab had driven up and stopped in
front Of the house. There was a pause.
A bell had been rung. Steps were COM

own. There was a knock-once, twice

EGG DANCE OF THE HINDU.
One OF the Most Remarkable Feats
Performed by the Indian.

FeFfoFmed pr the indian.
OF the many wonderful feats per-
formed by Hindu jugglers one of the
most remarkable is the egg dance.
Usually 1t is executed by a girl fam
tastically dressed. She makes use of n
willow wheel, around which at equal
distances are threads. and at the end
of each thread there Is a moose held
open by n bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head. while she carries n basket OF
eggs on her arm. When the music
strikes up she begins to dance. and the
wheel begins to spin around. She then
1t In N of the thread nooses and
throws 1t from her with sufficient force
to draw the knot tight. The spinning
OF the wheel keeps the thread stretched
with the egg at the end of il.
She then takes another egg from the
basket. places 1t In another moose and
repeats this until there is an egg I'm
every Her fantastic costume.
her perfect motion and all the eggs
swinging on stretched threads at once
present a curious sight.
1t requires much art to execute the
dance, for n false step would cause
the eggs to be dashed together and the
dancer to be disgraced.
After dancing for some time with all
the g & swinging round her head she
takes them out of the moose one by
one. all the time keeping the wheel bal
anced and in motion. and again places
them In the basket on her arm.
After the performance the spectators
are allowed to examine the eggs to see
that they are real.-London Ideas.
