ory police record. Presently his
nerve gave way in face of the steady
eye and hand, and he confessed the
why and wherefore he had sought the
keyhole of Servan's room.

ever he goes we follow"

man. All l am here for is to take

nothing about your private feuds.
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 idteness. 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 a 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 1t vas quietly with
drawn from its hiding place. 1t was
stealthily opened. A hand reached In
and when it 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papers was also withdrawn.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-
tally destroyed. With the infinite pa
tienoe of his kind he began the weav
ing of another trap. Perhaps thas
would be more successful than igs
predecessor.
Later Henri Servan received a tele
phone call. He was informed that his
purpose in America would be real
lied by his presence at such and sucf
box that night at the opera. Fur
ther information could not be giver
over the telephone. Servan seemed
well satisfied. He dressed carefully
that evening, called up the Office clerl
and inquired If his box tickets for thu
opera had arrived. He was informed
that they had. Instantly the spy. WHIT
had dared to inger about the hotel
overhearing this conversation, deter
mined to notify Braine at once. Ant
at the same time,i Norton, in disguise
determined not to lose sight of thil
man whom he had set himself t.
watch.
The spy left by one entrance ant
Jim by another. Jim had learne,
what he desired: that the Russial
agent would be followed to the oper
and that it was going to be Difficult
to hand the documents to him. Th
spy entered drug store and tele
phoned Jim waited outside. Whel
the man came out he strolled up tn
street and entered the nearest saloon
Jim's work was done.
1t was Braine's lieutenant, however
who took the news to Braine.

"Goodi" said Braine.
"He will go to the opera. He vii

"And the next thing is to get tn

Zeal Reason for Custom Of indians
and AsIatles Travelling Always
In Single File.

When the Indians Travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast. but followed one an

by some that this practice resulted
from the lack Of roads. which COM

Lord, help me to forget the graves

praperies Soften a Room.

To soften and tone down a room the
touch of drapery is essential, especial
ly window drapery, which, if skillfully
arranged, can add to the width and
height of any window. Fashionably
speaking, window draperies tend to
run clear to the floor The delicate
translucent mesh of madras, figured
and in stained glass effect, some of the
open weave cotton draperies and the
open work machine embroideries are
more and more being used in house

New Muffs Are Small.

AS if to show just what length
fashion would have US follow, the
latest muffs are infinitesimally small.
Quite absurd do they appear after
the huge pillow affairs we have been
cheerfully hauling around With us for
the past few seasons. 1t may be that

they are on the modish suit, interfere

Name for the Indian children.

Small people catch on to much more
from the talk of their elders than
grownups generally suppose, says the
Caldwell News. A little girl of four
and one-half years one day last week
was poring over her primer. 1t was
a lesson about Indians. The mother
explained the pictures to the little
one, telling her some of the customs
of the tribe, and ended by telling her
the Indian children were called
''papooses." The next day the girl
was heard to read" 'The Indians
do not live in houses, and they call
their children Bull Mooses."

II this were the real reason for the
practice, then we should expect to find
that the tribes who lived in open coun-
tries Travelled in company, as do
whites.
The true reason for journeying, as
the Indians did. in single file, seems to
be a feeling of caste. This feeling was
at the bottom of other customs of the
Indians.
This peculiarity is Asiatic. How 1t

closes up the open water in the Arc

to drill hole to the surface by press
ing his warm nose against the ice. No
body knows how many hours It takes
him to accomplish his task. but he
manages it; and although he is obliged
to WORK most of the time, because the
surface of the hole is continually
freezing. he keeps it open all winter
and obtains air.
