 Christopher Poe managed to find the place where the burro boy with the guitar and black spectacles had left the caravan. On questioning the youth he learned that the person who had given him the glass ring was a man. an American. with a sombrero, a suitcase. and a red water-bottle.
 Could the person have been a Japa nese?" asked Senor Terranoya. who had accompanied Poe.
 No. senor"
 "Or a woman disguised as a man?"
 "No. senor"
 "There," cried the Mexican. That upsets your theory at the very start.
 Christopher Poe only smiled. thrust the fine needle he had found at the mine office under his coat lapel. and set out alone. but for a servant to re turn with Terranova's horse.
 By reckless riding down the stun bly, stony trail Poe managed to just make the train. Settling himself com fortably in day coach. he occupied the time till midnight reading a novel then he dozed until nearly three o'clock. when the train pulled in al Mexico City.
 Having left his suitcase with a ho tel runner at the station. Poe sum moned a cab and asked the driver ir Spanish: Where is most of the fur at the Carnival,"
 The Metropole is the place. Every body is there. It is just beginning All the girls; dancon. senor. dancon- the beautiful notion"
 Yes. That's exactly where I want to go." decided Poe. Is it . masked ball tonight?"
 Tt is carnival time. Everybody ir Mexico is masked" answered the cab man. clucking 10 his bony horse.
 "Oh. to be sure; and we won't be too late for the fun?"
 No. It is just beginning. At two o'clock they began to come and the, will be doing great things at four"
 Christopher Poe leaned back in the blue-fagged conveyance. and enjoyed snatches of song coming to him occa sionally from merry-making peasants homeward bound. and took in coo vistas of palm-fringed parks. It wa: a fne fresh night. much the best part

Of the day in the cit-. Bcd when the carriage came at last to the gay guar ter where the Metropole was located there was much excitement afoot-
 Dismissing the cab at the door. Christopher Poe paid his peso for ad- mission, and stepped into a wild swirl of gayety.

 Foe purchased clown suit from a vender. climbed into it. drew a mask down over his face. and plunged into the reckless whirlpool of dancers.
 Poe rushed for a drinking-table. and dragged the group of devils along. treating them lavishly to beer and pulque.
 Then the floor was cleared. and the Spanish band struck up . barbarous. fascinating. turing can-can. to which the dancers swayed in unison, work. ing up to . pitch of passion, the ell. max of which was denoted by . blur of cymbais and drum-sticks.

Senor Poe" The MeIican's attitude changed abruptly: he dropped into a chair. and looked up at Poe helplessly. What about the needle and the Jap woman? How did she do it?"
 "I1l explain when I have the facts to back up my theories" answered Poe. For the present, is there any train into Mexico City tonight"
 There's the one at seven o'clock" :" answered Reichmann. But why go to Mexico City? This safe was opened only last night; we didn't discover it until unlocked the ofhce at noon to- day. Whoever turned the trick must still be in town"

If you will allow me. l think with this fine needle here in my fingers l can prick a little hole in the black veil that will throw . light on this mys. tery"
 He held up an exceedingly fine em. broidery needle. The other two men stared at it wonderingly.
 What do you argue from that? asked Senor Terranova anxiously.
 Tt Is something accidentally drop ped by the person who robbed your safe of its historic treasure. Look a, it carefully" He dropped the needle on his palm and held it out plainly be fore the wondering eyes of the anxious pair. What would you argue from that needle?"
 Neither spoke. but both stood star ing silently at the thin hair of steel
 You don't use a needle in any part of your business, do you?"
 No" answered Reichmann slowly
 'Ill give you this much of a hint This is the finest mako of embroidery needle: it is made In Japan" said Poe smiling grimiy, Doesn't that suggest anything?"
 That it was . Japanese who rob bed the safe?" cried Senor Terranoys shrewdly.
 Maybe one of those little Japanese professors that come here sometimes to study the mines," cried Reich mann illuminstingly.
 Yes, was it?" added the anxious Mexican.
 Few men. even Japanese. use nne little embroidery needles like this. smiled Poe. T don't believe any Jap anese man ever carried one about with him.
 "A woman. then? A Japanese woman?" cried Reichmann.
 Il leave that to your vivid fmagina tion." answered Poe. Meantime would like to assure Senor Terranova.' he bowed to that gentleman. that his suspicious are quite false. and that fl he will agree to keep the matter Quie' I will guarantee to give him news ot the real thief within Ave days

pen. He did not book that order. He
gave a sigh like a high-power suction

choly voice. Well, if you find two save

Old Rarbarous Punishment.

Until a change of law in 1870 the
British parliament recognized the sen
tence of drawing ii. e., dragging on
a hurdle to the place of execution),
hanging and quartering ii. e., dividing
the body into four and placing it at
the disposal of the CROWN for the
crime of high treason. J.. F. X. O'Brien
was sentenced to be hanged, drawn
and quartered for taking part in the
Fenian conspiracy of 1867, but the SEN
tence was RENTED to a term of penal
servitude, and he survived until 1905.
He was the last person on whom any
judge pronounced this barbarous SEN
tence.

WORK ON THE FIRING LINE
Monk Went Into Twelve Battles With savarians
and Was Wounded In Foot.

A South German monk who entered the First
regiment Of the Bavarian Royal Guards as a vol
unteer officer at the beginning OF the war, IS now
living wounded in the hospital at Freiburg. He
described his experiences when he was inter-
+ viewed:
"On August 10 our battalion was sent direct to
the. frontier. Then we proceeded in forced
marches as rapidly as possible to the Vosges
mountains, where the French had already taken
up their positions.
"The French had intrenched themselves so se-
curely and firmly that they could hardly get out
again. All who fed we shot down. At nine
o'clock their positions were ours. They threw
away everything they had-rifes, blankets and
knapsacks-in the panic of fear. All their trenches
were full of dead and wounded,
"Our artillery had come up meanwhile; their
~shrapnel tore fearful gaps in the ranks Of the
fleeing Frenchmen, as they could not scatter in
the narrow valley through which they had to re-
treat.
The French prisoners we took seemed to re-
gard US as monsters. Everywhere we went after
ward the French terrified the people by crying.
THE Bavarians are coming!' They remember us
still from 1870.
Il took part in twelve great battles. The last
was near Epinal, where we were lying three days
under fire. l was wounded about four o'clock in
the afternoon of the third day. That was the
worst day Of all The shrapnel burst over US
from two sides at once. We sought protection
even behind the dead. N
ut was the fercest fire l ever saw. / pushed
my way back through the hail of bullets, and a
piece of ~shrapnel tore my ~knapsack open. Finally
l reached a dismantled battery and lay down
under cover of the timbers. The bullet which
passed through my foot was buried In the sole of
my shoe, and the ~shrapnel was found in the meat
tin. I have them both as souvenirs"

Guard Against Taking Cold.

We all know about wet feet and
drafts as auses of colds, but these
are only two of the many means of
taking cold, and two to which many
people are not in the least susceptible.
No two persons are the same in these
matters, and you may assiduously
avoid sitting in drafts and then find
that you have taken a bad cold be-
cause you have kept your house over
heated. The first step to prevention
is to study yourself and find out to
what you are most susceptible. Here
are some of the most common auses
for catching colds-bad air, crowded
rooms, drafts, underheated or over
heated houses, too heavy clothing, so
that one becomes easily overheated in
a arm room; overWork and fatigue.
that leaves one subject to infection;
damp clothing, and chill.

Our Indebtedness to Slaves.

To the emperors and popes of by
gone ages, writes Mrs. Ida Hustled
Harper, the modern world is deeply in
debted for treasures of art and archi-
lecture that without them never could
have existed. 1t was only by the labor
of unpaid and underfed slaves that
the Coliseum, the magnificent arches,
the baths, the marvellous
palaces could have been erected; and
it was only through grinding the faces
of the poor by taxes and enforced ON
tributions that the splendid churches
could have been built and their match
less decorations made possible. Popes,
emperors and unfortunate victims
have long since passed alike into dust,
not all the pomp and circumstance of
power being able to avert this COM
non fate, and it matters not whether
this dust has returned to the simple
elements of earth or been preserved
in gorgeous tombs.
