When Servan entered the limousine
he was quietly but forcibly seized by
two men who had been lying in wait
for him, due to the apparent treachery
of the chauffeur. Servan fought val

end of this exploit was going to be-.
One of the men succeeded in getting
the documents from Servants pocket.

"Give him crack on the COCO and
We'll beat it." "

voice from the seat at the side of the
chauffeur. I'll take those papers!"
And the owner of the voice, backed by
cold, sinister-looking automatic,
reached in and confiscated the spoils

attempt to slip out by the side door"
Thanks, my friend" said Servan,
shaking himself free from his captors.

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.
y Il
For 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
certain time it was quietly with
drawn from it's hiding place. It was
stealthily opened A hand reached in
and when it withdrew 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papers was also withdrawn.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
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 a tele-
phone call. He was informed that his
purpose in America would be real

and inquired if his box tickets for the

that they had Instantly the spy, who
had dared to lingar 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 it was going to be difficult
to hand the documents to him. The
spy entered drug store and teIe-
phoned. Jim waited outside. When
the man came cut he strolled UP the
street and entered the nearest saloon.
Jim's work was done.

A TARIFF COMMISSION

II IL no wonder that symptoms are
to be noted in several quarters OF a
revival Of the demand for tarin
commission. The present condition
OF the revenues brought about through
a miserable makeshift is demanding
a return TO a policy that has some re-
gard for the protective influences on
our domestic affairs. There have
been Of late several more or less dis
tinct public expressions by men OF va
rying weight in the business world
which seem to look to the appoint
ment OF such a commission as a
means OF improving the tariff situa-
ton and relieving conditions that
give ground for complaint. This re-
newal OF the discussion seems 10 grow
out OF the recognition that there Is
likely to be tariff action OF one sort
or another as a consequence Of the
unsatisfactory revenue situation.
Such action would afford an opportu-
nifty for fresh discussion Of the meth
DDS to be pursued in legislating on
tho tariff question. Hence the revival
Of the subject at the present time.
and the reported drafting OF bills de-
siened 10 make provision for body
OF the kind desired.
So far as The Intelligencer Is con
cerned. II does not hope for much IN
this line from a Democratic admins
trauon or Congress. because a tariff
commission did exist when the Demo
Gratis came into power. but II was
soon abolished. and its recommends
items were either ignored or its facts
rejected in the making OF the Under
wood bill. We hear much Of scien-
tifc tariff. but we question the ability
Of any sort OF a commission to evolve
such a product Anyhow. the people
will have a hand in this matter. and
unquestionably the only thing that
viii satisfy them. after the expert
ence they have gone through. will be
something patterned after the old reli-
able Republican brand. an American
tariff for American people-the work
ingmen.

JUDGE IRA ROBINSON

Among the distinguished visitors 10

but 10 all suggestions a. TO his fire.
duently mentioned candidacy. Judge
Robinson has preserved an amiable
but strictly judicial decorum In re-
fusing TO discuss the probabilities or
possibilities OF the situation. This.
however. has not precluded his friends
and admirers from giving the matter
that consideration it's importance In
wolves.
The Intelligencer believes that ele-
mentally and intellectually Judge Rob
inson Il an attractive figure in the
prospective contest II can. without
any reservation. state that he com
mands the most serious attention Of
the Republicans OF this end OF the
State. as they see in him a man OF
distinguished abilities and accomplish
ments. a native who has pushed his
way forward simply by the force OF
his equipment for every advancement
he has gained. There is nothing SUI
perfioial about Judge Robinson. He is
concrete to the core. His career on
the bench has disclosed a mind Of
rare Judgment and OF the highest legal
attachments. perceptive faculties OF
faultless insight which have enabled
him to hand down some OF the clear
est interpretations OF the law to be
found among the opinions OF the high
court he presides over. and which
have attracted appreciation outside Of
the State.
There il perhaps no other man in
the State who has such a definite
grasp on the needs OF the State. who
IL more conversant with its affairs.
or who entertains higher inspirations
OF its destiny than Judge Robinson.
He would not only bring 10 the ONCE
OF governor a ripened judgment. but
trained intelligence. a commanding
dignity and abilities which could not
help but be OF vast benefit to the
whole people OF the State. and reflect
honor upon and confidence in the Re
publican party.
