Well, the electrical work was neat. ly done." he remarked. The burglar cleaned up after himself like an old maid. leaving no clues"
 The electric signal service was next discussed.
 The thief himself must have sent in the signal at exactly the minute the bank door was usually closed" said Poe, for Beggs was bound and gagged at fve-five. As the electric signal sheet composed the last eighthof an inch through which he drilled. 1t seems quite plausible that the alarm did not work because he drilled through that plato before five-fifteen. before the alarm was set. All of which proves that some one connected with the bank did the work. Could clerk have secreted himself any where?r
 No, sir. 1 can take my oath on that, answered John Beggs, who had been summoned Besides, never saws the thiefs face before. l made my round at five: nobody here then"
 Poe requested two clerks to take the positions of the scrub-women, and had Beggs stand on the spot where he had been attacked. After that Poe walked back and forth. twisting his lips with tense fingers. and glancing up sharply from beneath his heavy brown brows. sensing the situation.
 Finally. giving a satisfied little grunt. he asked to have Beggs tied as he had been when found
 The policeman who liberated Beggs was at hand. and proceeded to initiate the manner Of tying
 Poe picked up an end of the rope idly. and made a casual examination; then he drew out his knife and snip ped off bit of it. which he placed carefully in his vest-pocket, as ne turned to view the officers clumsy work at duplicating the thiefs rope tying method
 Tt was a funny way he was, tied up." said the policeman, stopping with a puzzled frown. This rope ran in a loop over Begg's neck. came down be- tween his legs. and tied in the back There seemed to be some system to it"
 Like this. was it," asked Poe, catching up the rope. throwing loop

T thought maybe he took burmese or the white stun If that's the case, we may hear some hoptalk some where. Those gervers often let some thing slip in brassing up the bundle of swag"
 What kind of a lingo is that?" cried the cashier irascibly Are you an insane man or a detectiye?"
 Poe straightened up. threw out his square chest. and took deep respira- tion; his mouth. which had suddenly frightened. relaxed. and the wrinkles in his cheeks grew deeper. as he N piled in a pleasant tone:
 Neither. You'll pardon me for talking shop The jargon is so fasc.na- ting, you know. It's comfort to the mouth, like those exquisite preserved rose-ieaves one gets in Turkey"
 Cribben's eyes widened. as though he had suddenly encountered a forged check. He scanned Poe with an in elusive frown. and then sank back in his chair, his manner more hope less than before; for time had graved the one word Business" on his brow; trifiing naturalness had been stamped out of his character by the little punch with which he had cancelled checks for years.
 T merely borrowed from the thiefs own language" Poe went on. ito infer that, as the man had fixed pale face and watery eyes he might be an opium fiend, and possibly could be found in some New York den, where the bundle, or swag. is often divided, and that he might let out something while under the influence of the drug"
 "Oh, see; jumping at conclusions" Cribben seemed relieved by the ex- planation. But let's stick to facts The safes back there, and over two million dollars is somewhere else. I'd like to have them connected"
 By all means; let's look at 1t" re- piled Poe, following the cashier to the temporary barricade about the safe.
 Poe crouched down and swung the big outer door open, so that the small drilled hole could be seen in a better light.
 Clever" he exclaimed to the cashier. The fellow studied this lock long time. He's made the hole in

 The officers eyes went wide with surprise. That's it. exactly," he ex- claimed. T never saw anything like it before. I noticed it particular" the awed group around him: but he did smile to himself as he glimpsed the cashiers interest.
 He took the broken bucket used by the woman whose body had disap- peared. wrapped 1t into a neat parcel. turned to the cashier, and extended his hand in good-by.
 But you couldn't have formed any theory in such short time" exclaimed Cribben. Why, you haven't any clue outside of the scrub-woman's disap- pearance. She was probably killed and carried away, to shift suspi- cion."
 Probably" answered Poe, the strange wrinkles fickering for a mo- ment in his cheeks. But I'm taking hit Of that rope with me. and the pieces of that bucket. l may be able to gather something from them"
 Without further comment, he bow ed and walked out. On his way to the South station he sent the following wire in cipher to Burns. the million aire banker. who shared with Mitchell and Poe their secret works in the in- terests of justice:
 Canvass opium dives catering to foreign criminals. Watch for tall, white-faced Englishman with close cropped hair, tenor. decided stoop. Send Volume H and suit of slops by my man to Grand Central at 11:12. I'll run across you"
 Christopher Poe took an afternoon train for New York, secured an en- closed section, locked the door, care fully united the bundle containing the broken bucket, and examined it, first roughly and then minutely.

the single vulnerable spot, and lined up the tumblers so they dropped when he punched through. Think of boring hole for a year."
 He looked up and held out on his palm a perfectly rounded bit of wood, the size of a pencil, two inches long. and enameled a glistening black at one end.
 Whats that thing?" cried Crib ben. "Where'd you get it? What do you mean by working at the hole for over a year?'
 He bent closer. and fingered the round, smooth piece blankly.
 You can see here. at the mouth of the hole" answered Poe, indicating with his slim finger. Its more than a year old, l should say, from the number of rings which show where he left otf drilling each time. This stick fits exactly in the hole. I found it on the floor here. Evidently over looked You notice the end is enameled?'
 "Yes. But what's the connecticut" gasped the other.
 Why, it's evident, The fellow had access to the safe in some manner for over a year, and managed. bit by bit. to drill through the steel. At first he probably puttied and painted over the small hole. Then. as 1t became deep CT, he made this stick to plug it with. and enameled the end to match the safe door. the spot being so small as to escape notice. He did his stint of work every so often. and replaced that plug each time to conceal all traces. Then, when he calculated to within an eighth of an inch of the spot where he could get the tumblers into alignment, he simply waited for a chance, and turned the trick"
 But no one could do this. John Beggs is the only man ever left alone with the safe; he couldn't play part. l told you he Is above suspicion"
 I'm quite sure of it. l just had . look at him. He hasn't enough brains" vas the reply, as Poe turned to an examination of the inner door.

WAR NEWS SUMMARY

merchantmen therefore run the risk
OF destruction. In Berlin an official
statement was issued suggesting that
British submarines might purposely
sink neutral nations. French news
papers commend the attitude of the
United States which is said to be the
first step toward "the inevitable par
ticipation of neutrals in the great
events which are dividing the world"
The departure of the Greek minis
ter from Turkey is not regarded in
Berlin as implying a rupture Of dip
lomatic relations. 1t Is thought there
that the minister for personal reas-
ons, asked to be relieved.
The Albanian force which invaded
Serbia has been driven back across
the border, says Nish dispatch.
The raid is believed to have been in
cited by Mohammedans, preaching a
holy war.
1t is reported from Milan that Italy
has asked Vienna and Berlin for as
surances that Austria will not make
an attack on Rumania, whose mill
tary preparations have been inter-
preted as foreshadowing her en-
trance into the war.

WASAINGTON'S
BIRTHDAY

Washington's birthday would OF
course be more generally and tumul-
tuously observed, II 1t came at the
height OF the baseball season. AS II
Is. for many years little notice was
taken of 1t other than by few pa
triotic societies.
At present the schools seem to BIO
making more Of the public holidays
and very commonly have some suit
abe recognition Of this anniversary.
Teachers may we'll talk to their chill
dren on the lessons to be learned by
every young person from Washing
toms marvellous persistence ana
courage.
The difficulties which Washington
had to confront must have seemed at
the time to people Of ordinarily good
Judgment, as hopelessly appalling.
He was constantly being defeated by
the vastly superior troops OF the mo
Their country. He constantly faced
the disaffection of his hungry and
ragged and unpaid troops. Political
intrigue in Congress and the army
threatened to undermine his author
ity and discipline.
One can well imagine that Wash
ington's friends must often have al
yised him against the hopelessness
of such an unequal contest. They
must have counselled him to seek
the best peace possible before ne
ran any further chance OF being cap
tured and exiled or executed ior
treason.
Most people give up their larger
ambitions, after failure or two ana
Jog along in some regular routine Tor
the rest of their lives. 1t is perhaps
the most comfortable way OF living
but not satisfying to people who have
ideals.
There are few things in life that
can stand in the way Of determined
persistent attack. No matter how
hopeless a mans life may seem, 1t
can scarcely be more hopeless than
was the cause of Washington and his
patriots in their cruel winter at Val
ley Forge.

CoLoRFUL TOP COATS
FOR SPRING WEAR

The heavy coatings that bid fair
to hold prominent place this spring
are, of course, higher In price, but
then, they are not SO expensive aft
er all. for they are very wide, and
only small number of yards Is nee
essary to complete a garment.
The rich oriental colors still hold
their own In these materials and for
outing wear they are lovely. Even
the conservative dresser does not
hesitate to don one OF these lovely
colorful top coats when spending a
time at southern resort or In the
country. Dress stuff are only tri-
fie less colorful. and at first one may
get the impression that white had
been excluded In the dress goods
plan. This is by no means 80, and
almost any weave that is found In
color is also to be had in plain white.
There Is this to be said, however,
that almost every white gown has a
liberal touch OF color introduced in
the way of trimming.

German forces have captured the
important Polish town of Flock, the
Berlin war Office announced today.
Flock lies on the Vistula northwest
OF Warsaw and the Russians pushed
their advance far beyond 1t in their
movement against the West Prussian
border, which apparently has now
ended. Not only Flock, but the town
of Bielsk is said to have been lost
by the Russians. In East Prussia,
the Berlin communication states, the
advance Of the German forces con-
tinues the Russians having been pur-
sued across the border.
1t Is expected in London that to-
night or tomorrow England will pro-
claim the cutting off of all foodstuffs
from Germany, in retaliation for
Germany's declaration that the wa
tiers surrounding the British Isles
constituted a war zone.

chamber Of commerce, says that "in
