Paris Needs the Money.

Americans to the French dressmakers

Contest He Ever Played.

Waiy Schsng, the Athletics young
catcher, caused panic in an East
Aurora IN. " hotel by dreaming that
he was playing baseball. He tagged
Ty Cobb in his sleep, awakened every
body in the hotel, and nearly stran-
gled his brother in an argument with
the umpire. tk
Schang recently was In East Au-
rora as a member q bowling team,l
of which his brother, Bob. was also a
part.
After the game the boys went to
the hotel and retired for the night.
On reaching dreamland Wallys mind
turned from bowling to baseball. and
this fact is what caused all the rum
pus and nearly threw the other hotel
guests into pandemonium.
He's out! He's out!" cried Wally.
II touched him when he was two feet
off the bag!" It was all in the dream.
but when the other members of the
bowling team broke into the room oc-
cupied by the Schang brothers, Wally
had the strangle hold on brother"
Bob and had nearly choked him black
in the face.
They had some trouble in waking
him up and making him understand
that he was not playing the great ma
tional game and that Brother Bob
was not Ty Cobb, the player he was
trying to put out at the home plate.
When Wally was thoroughly awake
he laughed foolishly at his dream
game of ball and then explained: "You

He hung up the receiver. Come,

and the patrol wagon was still wait

Wu Fang had already plugged in
the six receivers of the detectaphone
and, though we did not know it, was
eagerly listening with the others down
in the cellar as Kennedy gave his
orders for the raid.

Without waiting, Long Sin and his
servant entered stealthily. The China
man stood in the doorway and Long
Sin slowly crept over to Kennedy's
chair.
AS he reached down to pin the sign
of the serpent on Kennedy's appar-
emily lifeless body, Craig seemed sud-
denly to come to life. He seized Long
Sin and they struggled fiercely, while
Craig, freeing one hand, whipped out
his automatic and fired sideways at
the Chinaman in the doorway.
The Chinaman fell, lay there mo-
ment, then raised himself up and with
fast ebbing strength managed to crawl
out of the doorway and down the hall.
1t was a death grapple between
Craig and the willy Long Sin. At last
they had each other face to face. But
it was unequal. Short and sharp came

Craig had in his pocket newly in
vefsted pair of handouts which

1t was only matter of few min
utes before Chase joined Kennedy,
and together they went back to China
town, Craig explaining to him in a low
voice just what it was he wanted
done.
The operative furtively watched
Inez and Sam talking until finally she
rose and went out by the street door.
She turned abruptly on the street and
entered doorway that led up in the
same building, only outside.
Chase entered the dark, ill-smelling
hallway and mounted the steps eau
tiously, careful not to make them
creak He paused at each door until
he was sure that there was no one on
the other side.
At one, however, he could hear low
voices. He listened moment, then
tried the knob softly. The door was
locked. Carefully he put his foot on
the knob and raised himself up by
gripping the transom.
There were Inez and Long Sin talk
ing earnestly as Inez removed her
wraps while Long Sin laid out couple
of opium pipes and cooked two pills of
the precious hop with practiced hand.
Chase let himself down as softly as
he had pulled himself up, and got
away without being seen.
Kennedy returned to the apartment
after dispatching Chase on his mis-
sion, and there l met him as soon as

We were talking over our plans
when there came sudden knock at

Instantly his gun spat fatal dab

the next onrushing Oriental and flung
him over his head, butting him like

Finally he pushed the rat into the

and an instant later, loosed the ferret
after it, as IL on a leash of wire.
There WI stood paying out the wire
as the ferret scampered after the
scared rat.
Wu faithfully paid out the wire, hop
ing for the result he had calculated
carefully.
At last the tugging at the spool OF
wire ceased. Three sharp jerks told
him he had succeeded. Then WI set
the transmitter in the hole in the
wall close up to the Dashboard, which
he had replaced.
