The Polish aristocracy succeeded
where other medieval aristocracies
failed, and it's success was Poland's
ruin. The king was kept a figurehead,
isolated from the mass of people large
ly by reason Of the Polish custom of
electing kings. 1t all looked very
democratic, but in fact 1t merely
served to keep aliens or weaklings on
the throne much of the time.
Thus suppressing the king and OPP
pressing the people. the aristocracy be-
came a military and political caste,

with the bunch
The Inspector sighed. His face had
grown long and the buoyancy had
passed from his manner.
They found the others waiting for
them at the end of the great wooden
shed. Quest turned to French.
Look here, French" he said. you
know don't want to hurry you Off
but / don't know what we're going to
do with this fellow about in San Fran

charges, and we should have to put
him in Jail tonight. Why don't you
take him on right away? There's a
limited goes by the southern route in
an hours time"
French assented gloomily.
THAT suits me-" he agreed you'll
be glad to get rid of the fellow, toe"
he added.
They drove straight to the depot,
found two vacant seats In the train,
and Quest, with little sigh Of relief,
handed over his charge.
"Now for little holiday" Quest de-
clared, passing Lenora's arm through
his. well just have look around
the city and then get down to San
Diego and take look at the exposi-
ton there. No responsibilities, no one
to look after, nothing to do but enjoy
ourselves"
Quest and Lenora turned away from
the window of the hotel, out Of which
they had been gazing for the last
quarter of an hour.
Its too beautiful" Lenora sighed.
Quest stood for a moment shaking
his head. The professor, with pile
of newspapers stretched out before
him, was completely engrossed in
their perusal. Laura, who had been
sitting in an armchair at the farther
end of the apartment, was apparently
deep In thought.
Say, you two are no sort Of people
for holiday" Quest declared. "As
for you, Laura, l can't think what's
come over you. You never opened
your mouth at dinner time, and you sit
there now looking like nothing on
earth"
81 am beginning to suspect her." Le-
nora chimed In. "Too bad he had to
hurry away. dear!"
Laura's indignation was not alto
gether convincing. Quest and Lenora
exchanged amused glances. The for
mer picked up the newspaper from the
floor and calmly turned out the pro-
fessors lamp
Look here" he explained, this is
the first night of our holiday. I'm go,
ing to run the party and I'm going to
make the rules. No more newspapers

peated scornfully.

Past and Present.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
said in Washington the other day:
What improvements we see in the
country when we go there on our va
cation! We see automobiles, tele-
phones. player pianos, monographs
and even, among few wealthy young
farmers, biplanes.
How different is this prosperity
from the hardships of the past--from
the days when a gaunt farmer would
enter the general store Of the district
and pant, hungrily:
Gimme an eggs worth o. sugar

O. salt, too. The Plymouth Rocks a.

Macdougal, the murderer of Lord Ash

he remarked. There's no doubt about
It, that fellow Craig has the devils

him yet. I'll just take a stroll up to

inquiries. You might come with me,

time" Quest reminded her.
Might have expected to find US
there when he came to, anyway"
Laura insisted
Lenora smiled family as she caught
glance from Quest.

lot of getting att"
They found French. already conva-
descent. comfortably installed in the
private ward of small hospital in the
picturesque New Mexico town. Laura
almost at once established herself by
his side.
Can you remember anything about
the wreck, French?" Quest inquired
The inspector passed his hand
YEARLY over his forehead.
1T seems more like a dreamer
rather nightmare-than anything"
he admitted. II was sitting opposite
Craig when the crash came. l was
unconscious for time. When came
to, l was simply pinned down by the
side Of the car. l could see a man
working hard to release me, Juggling
and straining with all his might. Every
now and then / got a glimpse of his
face. 1t seemed queer, but could
have sworn 1t was Craig. Then other
people passed by. / heard the shrek
of locomotive. / could see a doctor
bending over some bodies. Then 1t
all faded away and came back again.
The second time was nearly free.
The man who had been working so
hard was Just smashing the last bit
OF timber away, and again ! saw his
face and that time was sure that It
was Craig. Anyway, he finished the
job. ! suddenly felt could move my
limbs. The man stood UP as though
exhausted, looked at me, called to the
doctor, and then he seemed to fade
away. 1t might have been because I
was unconscious myself, for I don't
remember anything else until l found
myself in bed"
1T would indeed" the professor re-
marked, be an interesting circum-
stance-an interesting psychological
circumstance, II I might put It that
way-if Craig, the arch-criminal, the
man who has seemed to US so utterly
devoid Of all human feeling. should
really have toiled in this manner to
set free his captor."
Interesting or not" Quest OBJ

was Craig or not. understand there
were about a dozen unacceptable
bodies found"
The nurse, who had left the room
for few minutes, returned with a
small package in her hand, which she
handed to French. He looked at 1t In
a puzzled manner.
Say, what can that be?" he NUT
tered, turning it over. Addressed to
me all right, but there isn't a soul
knows I'm here except you folks. Will
you open it, Miss Laura?"
She took 1t from him and united the
strings. A little breathless cry es-
capped from her lips as she tore open
the paper. A small black box was dis
closed. She opened the lid with trem-
bling fingers and drew out a scrap of
paper. They all leaned over and read
together:
