but don't you think this is just lit
tie raw? What's it all about?"
The newest conner eyed me for q
moment, then with quiet dignity drew
from his pocket and handed me his
card, which read simply:
M. DEL MAR, Private Investigator.
AS l looked up, l saw Del Mars
other policeman bringing in another
manacled man.
These are crooks-foreign agents"
replied Del Mar pointing to the pris-
oners. The government has employed
me to run them down"
What of this?" asked Elaine, hold
ing up the note from Bertrand.
"A fake, a forgery" reiterated Del
Mar. looking at it a moment critically.
Then to the men uniformed as police
he ordered: You can take them to
Jail They're the fellows, all right"
AS the prisoners were led OH, Del
Mar turned to Elaine. Would you
mind answering few questions about
these men,"
"Why-no," she hesitated. But /
think we'd better 60 into the house,
after such thing as this. 1t makes
me feel nervous"
With Del Mar followed Elaine in
through the conservatory.
Del Mar had scarcely registered at
the La Coste when the smaller car
which had been waiting at the fisher
mems hut drew up before the hotel
entrance. From It alighted the fussy
old gentleman who bore such q re-
markable resemblance to the fisher
man. hastily paid his driver and en-.
tered the hotel.
He went directly to the desk and

with well-manicured finger, scarcely
reminiscent of fisherman, began trac-
ing the names down the list until he
stopped before one which read:
Marcus Del Mar and valet, Wash
ington, d. c., Room $40"
With q quick glance about, he made
note of it and turned away. leaving
the La Coste to take up quarters of
his own in the Prince Henry down the
street.
Not until Del Mar had left with his
two policemen did the fussy old gen.
tleman reappear in the La Coste. Then
he rode up to Del Mars room and
raped at the door.

of the valet.

The little old man appearing to con-
slider, standing a moment handling his
silk hat Absent-mindedly he dropped
it. AS the valet stopped to pick it up
the old gentleman exhibited an agility
and strength scarcely to be expected
of his years. He seized the valet,
while with one foot he kicked the
door shut.
Before the surprised servant knew
what was going on his assailant had
whipped from his pocket a handker-
chief in which was concealed a thin
tube of anesthetic. Then leaving the
valet prone in a corner with the hand
kerchief over his face, he proceeded
to make a systematic search Of the
rooms. opening all drawers, trunks
and bags.
He turned pretty nearly everything
upside down, then started on the desk.
Suddenly he paused. There was a
paper. He read it, then with an air Of
extreme citation showed in into his
pocket.
AS he was going out he stopped
beside the valet, removed the handker-
chief from his face and bound him
with cord from the portieres. Then.
still immaculate in spite of his en-
counter, he descended in the elevator,
re-entered a waiting car and drove
OF.
Quite evidently, however, he wanted
to cover his tracks, for he had not
gone half a dozen blocks before he
stopped, paid and tipped the driver
generously. and disappeared into the
theater crowd.
Back again in the Prince Henry,
whittier the fussy little old man made
his way as quickly as he could through
a side street, he went quietly up to his
room.
His door was now locked. He did
not have to deny himself to visitors,
for he had none. Still his room was
cluttered by a vast amount of para
phernalia and he was seated before a
table deep in work.
First Of all he tied handkerchief
over his nose and mouth. Then he took
up cartridge from the table and care

space occupied by The bullet he poured

suite Q valet was already unpacking
some trunks and laying out clothes
when Del Mar and his assistant en-.
tered.
With an exclamation of satisfaction
at his unoster&atious entry into the
city. Del Mar Threw on his heavy coat.
The valet FASTENED to assist him in
removing the clothes, still wet and
wrinkled from his plunge into the sea.
Scarcely had Del Mar changed his
clothes than he received two visitors.
Strangely enough, they were dressed
in the uniform of policemen.
First Of all We must convince them
OF our honesty" he said, looking fixed
ly at the two men. Orders have been
given to the men employed by WI
Fang to be about in half an hour. We
must pretend to arrest them on sight

ing them from the room.
Outside the La Coste, Del Mar and
his two policemen entered the car
which had driven Del Mar from the
seacoast and were quickly whisked
away, uptown, until they came near
the Dodge house.
Del Mar leaped from the car. fol-
lowed by his two policemen. There

pointing up the avenue.
All three FASTENED up the avenue
now. where, beside a wall, they could
see two men looking through intently
as though very angry at something 60
ing On inside.
Arrest them" shouted Del Mar,
as his own men ran forward.
The fight was short and sharp, with
every evidence of being genuine. One
of the men managed to break away
and jump the garden wall, with Del
Mar and one of the policemen after
him, while the other only reached the
wall to be dragged down by the other
policeman.
Elaine and / had been, as ] have
said, talking with the man named
Bailey, who posed as a secret service
man, when the rumpus began. As the
man came over the fence, warning
Bailey, it was evident that neither of
them had time to escape. With his
club the policeman struck the new
conner of the two fat, while the tall,
athletic gentleman leaped upon Bailey,
and before We knew it had him dis
armed. In a most clean-cut and pro-
fessional way he snapped the brace
lets on the man.
Elaine was astonished at the ka-
leidoscopic turn of affairs, too aston
ished even to make an outcry. AS

MINDS VARY LITTlf1
SMALL DIFFERENCE OF THOSE OF
MEN AND WOMEN.
President Of Smith College Has Given
Expression to Views That VIII
Be Received With More Or
Less Approval.

That there is very little difference
minds of women, and what difference
there may be is caused by personal
ity. and not by sex. is the opinion OF
DR.. Marion lie Roy Smith. president
Of Smith college.
The differences that still exist In
the education of boys and girls are
not so much due to psychological diff.
ferences between then as to social
conditions" declared Doctor Smith in
defending this theory. They are
based on the functions that they will
fulfill in the world. For instance. to
date. and probably for some time to
come. more men than women will do
the worlds work as mechanical en-
gineers. And so there are naturally
more institutions to train men for this
work than there are for women.
But already the Massachusetts, In
stitute Of Technology has opened its
doors to women, and I don't doubt
that before long more conservative
professional schools will follow suit.
or they will be duplicated by similar
conditions in schools for women.
In Smith college, while there has
been an increase of per cent in the
proportion of men employed during
my administration, the relative i'm
portance of women on the faculty has
increased. The college now has .
woman dean. a position formerly held
by q man. There are sixteen women
and three men in administrative po-
sitions. where there used to be six
women and two men, and there are az
many women heads Of departments az
there ever were. One significant rea-
son why we have not more women
on the stan is that there are not more
adequately trained women.
"As to economic independence. be-
lieve that every woman should be
brought up to earn her own living.
IL necessary" said the college presi-
dent. But / am not willing to say that
a wife and mother in a home does
not earn hers. I believe that In most
cases she does. The average mar
riage is a partnership. in which the
wife does her share in keeping up the
home and caring for the children. The
children belong equally to the man
and the woman, and are joint respon-
sibility.
Il certainly do want women to have
all their rights. What l look for
ward to is the day when no woman
shall be at disadvantage. because Of
her sex, and when no woman shall be
able to take an unfair advantage be-
cause Of it. Both conditions exist to-
day."

stomach troubles quickly disappear.

and SO successful was the remedy he
devised that it has since been placed
