So far he had nothing tangible against Bowen except his record, as affirmed by Burns. his interest in urging the Van Wendts to go on the wild Fourth of July excursion, and his awkward movement which showered Miss Van Wendt with sparks. Since then Poe had seen nothing to substantiate his suspicion, and he was surprised that Bowen could act innocence so per tectly. If he really had the diamond how did he figure to get it past the Customs in New York? In Bowens manner he found no confession of guilt: the young fellow acted naturally and confidently.
 Placing the wine bottles in the bot tom of his steamer trunk, Christopher Poe went to bed. Next day both were occupied in making preparations for sailing, and it was only at dinner-time that they met. After dinner. as they were sitting opposite each other in the quaint, cool lobby of their little Italian hotel. Christopher Poe sud denly glanced down at his left hand
 How'd get that?" he cried, lifting his little finger. to show the ragged nail torn jaggedly across. exposing the quick

 Got a knife?" he asked abruptly. glancing at Bowen.
 No. not here. Whats the matter?' i've torn my nail. 1 used to carry one of those nail-clippers. They're handy. You don't happen to have a pair?"
 No" answered Bowen, absently, then he leaned forward with interest. Why, yes. by George, guess haye," he cried. T seldom use them" He slipped his fingers into an upper waist cOat-pOcket and produced a compact steel nail-clipper.
 Thanks. very much replied Poe wincing bit from the irritation as he worked at his nail.
 There, it's all right now. Those are handy things to have" He examined the heavy. sharp blades.
 T find them useful, but I usually forget I'm carrying them replied Bowen quickly. reaching out. and dropping the nail-clippers into his pocket nonchalantly.
 Next day they sailed early on a gigantic, fast boat for New York. both evidently glad to bid goodbye to vaca- ton and get back to real work. Belasco Bowen seemed particularly elated. but in the afternoon. as the ship struck into the sea and a pro- nounced rolling motion was felt. he retired to his stateroom. which he oc- cupied alone.

gone. let the deId rest. Let's change the subject. Tell me something to see in Venice: it's all new to me. and you seem quite at home"
 The galleries and castles of course you've seen?"
 Yes, but isn't there some stunning or something to do in this city of bridges? I've been looking for some body who could show me an exciting place or two. Something different, that's what 1 want"
 "I'll take you to the fsh-markets to- morrow. ii you Ike. It's quite a sight" offered Bowen.
 Bully, Would you? like that sort of thing. and it isn't often one meets a kindred spirit"
 That's right" replied Bowen heart fly.
 Now forget all about that stone, ' advised Poe in parting. You are blameless. and don't let it worry you. We will meet here at ten tomorrow %
 They went to their separate hotels, and before going to bed Christopher Poe sent cable to his friend Burns. Was the name of the suspect in the Farmers National burglary
 Belasco Bowen? l remember he
 posed as a society chap. When did he sail from New York? On returning from an interesting excursion with Bowen to the fish market next day. Christopher Poe found the following cipher message awaiting him.
 Right. Saw a newspaper notice
 last month that after a house
 party at Van Wendt's he went
 aboard the same boat with them.
 Having torn up the reassurinG note. Christopher Poe went to his room, and sat for an hour concentrating on the missing Duchess Diamond. Then he sent word 10 Bowen inviting him to dinner that night.
 Poe turned the talk to glowing ap- preciation of Naples after the meal. and before he and Bowen parted it had been decided that they would take the trip together
 At Naples Christopher Poe managed so that he occupied a room adjoining Bowen's and, making his interests conform with the younger mans. he was soon on an intimate footing with him.
 If Bowen had the Duchess Diamond. which Poe believed he had, surely the possession of it seemed 10 bother him little. He went about the business Of enjoying himself as thoroughly as any American tourist and never showed the slightest degree of nervousness. always seeking Poe's company and ever ready for diversion.
 They had spen, an interesting, eX- citing week al Naples, when one night
Tombstone epitaph., 1915-10-03

Bowen received a cablegram which he tore up and threw in the grate in the presence of his companion.
 Good news?" asked Poe.
 No: bad news. I've got to go back home to tend to business" replied Bowen.
 I've about made up my mind to sail on the Princess day after tomorrow said Poe promptly.
 Good. Then I shall have the pleas ure of your company to New York
 Bowen sat in thoughtful silence for a minute. and suddenly remarked:
 By the way. I want to take home & couple of bottles of that Barbera we saw in that little wine-shop the other day. I wonder if it would be open tonight?"
 We might stroll over and take a chance" suggested Poe. anxious not to lose sight of his companion now that sailing-time was near.
 Luckily the shop was open, and Bowen purchased three bottles of choice wine privately put up by the dealer in squat, thick-necked bottles.
 Wen drink these on the boat, to avoid paying duty on them" remarked Bowen, his eyes caressing the shapely bottles.
 'I volunteer my help" said Poe; guess I'll buy bottle or two myself" |"
 With their purchases the pair strolled back to the hotel. and before going to bed that night Christopher Poe sat long in silent contemplation before the heavy wine-bottles.
 An idea was smoldering in his mind
Tombstone epitaph., 1915-10-03

thinking over the disappearance Of the Duchess Diamond. and piecing to- gether bits of circumstantial evidence against Bowen.
 Half an hour later he strolled up to the wireless room on the promenade deck, and to his surprise, as he en- tered, found Belasco Bowen just hand ing over a message to the operator
 Bowen glanced up sharply at Poe's entrance. then smiled easily. remark ing:
 T was afraid, I'd be a bit sea-sick, but couldn't stand it in my berth. so I strolled up on deck" Poe had a fieeting glimpse of the wireless message, as the operator counted the words. and he was thrilled to find it written in cipher. For the remainder of the day he strolled about on deck with Bowen, and just before bedtime drank with him one of the interesting black bot. ties of Barbera, finding 1t excellent. Do we stop at Quarantine to pick up the doctor?" asked Poe idly. as like all travellers they anticipantly dis cussed their arrival No" answered Bowen quickly. But VIC slow down to pick him up, and usually the Customs men come aboard there"
 "Oh, yes, they row alongside in a boat and climb up a pilots ladder, l remember"
 Usually just opposite the little Quarantine rock" added Bowen. We run slow for about fifteen minutes, coasting just past Quarantine"

TO USE CHLORIDE OF
LIME TREATMENT HERE

A treatment OF several months of
chloride OF lime at the new water
works station, was the advice OF W. J.
Allen, bacteriologist of Waukegan
Ind, rendered to Supt. a. r. Kline OF
the city water and electric depart
ment. A report on the matter was ask
ed OF Mr.. Allen and his letter was read
at the meeting of the board OF public
works Monday morning. He stated
that the water samples which have
been taken from the pumps and which
come directly from the wells are more
than good, but stated that the samples
which showed large quantities of bac-
terra, came from taps over the city
and after the water had passed
through the mains This showed that
the evil existed in the pipes and
advised the treatment Of chloride OF
lime. Several weeks ago the pipes
were flushed with large quantities OF
this treatment and il has now been
decided TO use a treatment of only a
small quantity for several months.
Supt. Kline was instructed by the
board to ask for bids for the 5000
feet OF new water mains which the
board ordered purchased at the meet
ing last week.
