Now, get out But keep out of my
way: am not a peaceful man."
The spy tumbled out as he had
tumbled in. by an act Of gravity; and
Servan was alone. He spent two
days In comparative idleness. Then
things began to wake up.
For a long time the leather box
across which was inscribed Stanley
Hargreave" lay in peace undisturbed.
A busy spider had woven trap
across the handle to the quaint lock.
The box was still badly stained from
its immersion in the salt water. AT
a certain time it was quietly with.
drawn from its hiding place. 1t was
stealthily opened. A hand reached In
and when 1t withdrew a packet OF
papers was also withdrawn. The box
was again locked and lowered: and
presently the spider returned to find
that his cunning trap had been to.

thence of his kind he began the weav'
ing of another trap. Perhaps this
would be more successful than its
predecessor.
Later Henri Servan received tele'
phone call. He was informed that his
purpose in America would be real
lied by his presence at such and such
a box that night at the opera. Fur
ther information could not be given
over the telephone. Servan seemed
well satisfied. He dressed carefully
that evening. called up the office clerk
and inquired IL his box tickets for the
opera had arrived. He was informed
that they bad. Instantly the spy, who
had dared to linger about the hotel
overhearing this conversation, deter
mined to notify Braine at once. And
at the same time. Norton, In disguise
determined not to lose sight of this
man whom he had set himself to
watch.
The spy left by one entrance and
Jim by another. Jim had learned
what he desired: that the Russian
agent would be followed to the opera
and that 1t was going to be dificult
to hand the documents to him. The
spy entered drug store and tele
phoned. Jim waited outside. When
the man came out he strolled up the
street and entered the nearest saloon
Jim's work was done.

"Good!" said Braine.

Jim to his prisoners. He shouldered

Jim as he called for the check.

A plain fact that cannot be i'm

Complaint has been made to the
Gazette of the great number of horses
running loose on the streets Of St.
Joseph in the evenings. which is
a great nuisance and dangerous Ia
ladies and chilren, as the horses
frequently rush through the streets
like a charge of cavalry, unmindful
of pedestrians, and quite often ladies
and children are compelled TO take
refuge in neighboring yards.
1t is positively in violation of town
ordinance for horses and mules to
run at large within the corporate
limits of the town and it has been
the duty of the town marshal to
impound all such horses and mules
found running loose on the streets.
This ordinance has not been en-
forced for some time, due to the
fact that we have no marshal now
and to the further fact that the en-
forced confinement Of stock works
a hardship on many who have not
sufficient yard room for their prop
er care, but unless the nuisance is
abated the city officials will be COM
PEELED to enforce this ordinance.
Hence all who have been allowing
their work stock to run at large will
either keep them up until bedtime
before turning out or provoke the
authorities to the rigid enforcement
of the ordinance which prohibits
horses and mules from running at
large either day or night and pro-
viding for their impounding with
accompanying costs.
