THE IVORY SNUFFBOX"
 WITH HALBROOK BLINN

synopsis of the Ivory Snuff Box follows
 Richard Duvall. aboard the boat for Antwerp, finds the man whom he is fol- lowing, asleep in a saloon, and during the night, he opens the strangers suitcase He finds the package given the stranger ir the barber shop and, on opening it, discovers the contents to be rice pow der.
 By this time Duvall has learned that Grace is in the sanitarium, and that she furnished the news of Lefevre,s agents. He feels that Grace should leave the sanitarium as soon as possible He goes to MT. Phelps. the American ambassa- Cor. and has him invite Grace to din- her, planning to escape after dinner During dinner, that night, Dr. Hartmann, who is beginning to suspect Grace and Duvall. turns up at MT. Phelps house as an unexpected guest When Richard and Grace levae on the pretext of Du- valps escorting Grace back to the sani- tarium, Hartmann asks if he might ride with them Because of no plausible req son, Duvall is forced to consent
 On arriving at the sanitarium, Duvall is taken prisoner by two of Dr. Hart n.ann's attendants. His failure to dis cover the snuff box angers Dr. Hart mann. He knows that Duvall must have it with him, as his luggage has been searched and his friends imprisoned on various trumped-up charges. He gives Duvall until the next evening to con- fess the wherea bouts of the box.
 The time allotted him is up, and D1- wall refuses to confess. Hartmann re- sorts to torture. Finally Richard, at night, finds his opera hat behind pack ing case and secures the box from that hat. Experimenting with several orna- ments on the top of the box, he dis covers that it has a double top. Inside the box is piece of tissue paper, on which series of numbers are written Duvall substitutes another set of num- bers and corceals the set found in the box.
 In order to make Grace confess where the box is, as Dr. Hartmann believes she knows, he lets her see Duvall being tor tured. She is almost crazed by watching bis pain. so gets the box and delivers it to Hartmann. They are at once re- leased, and proceed to Paris.
 They are not able to deliver the box to Lefevre, but they give him the se- ries of numbers, which caused their anxiety.
 Duvall and Grace at last start on their delayed honeymoon.

Captain Jimmie In Bad
AsOperseas Messenger
War Correspondent Archbald's Obliging Offer to
Deliver Ambassadors Note Brings on All Sorts
of Trouble for Himself and Others.

"The way Of the international mes
senger boy is hard"
Captain Jimmie" Archibald. war cor
respondent and globe-trot.er. has an un-
disputed right today to adopt that as
his motto.
When Captain Jimmie" obligingly
promised the Austrian ambassador to
deliver a certain letter into the hands
Of the foreign minister at Vienna.
neither the diplomat nor his messenger
could have forseen the most distressing
things that have happened.
Ambassador Dumba is quoted as say
ing 1t was very stupid" of Archibald
to 60 and get arrested In England, But
messengers boys have been "bawled
stupidity. allegcd and genuine.
I.'s no wonder then that Captain
Jimmie assuming the little task of
carrying a note all the way from Lenox.
Mass. to Vienna, pulled a bone." SO
How was Captain Jimmie" to know
in advance that a lot of prying English
men would throw him into prison. con-
fiecate his pencils and note books, put
trained translators at work on the
Austrian ambassadors note to his gov
ernment and otherwise act in a manner
djstasteful to q war correspondent VINO

Washington to explain.

Tho friends Of Mr.. Archibald in this
city-he was we'll known here-are con-
ndent that he didn't intene to violate
international custom or become a dip
lomatic issue. The mail service to Aus
tria is slow and uncertain, wireless
messages have to be censored. and
means Of communication between this
country and Vienna generally are most
annoying.

FAIR DEAL TO POOR,
MAJ, PULLMAN TEXT
Police Chief, In Pulpit Urges
Equal Civic Advantages
With the Wealthy.

One Of the most important civic mat
ters confronting Washington today is
the necessity OF obtaining for the poor
OF the city as many advantages as the
wealthy enjoy. according to Superin-
tendent Of Police Raymond w. Pullman.
He appeared last night In the pulpit
Of the Fifth Baptist Church. This con-
RreRation has established the custom
Of having it's pulpit filled by sone lay
man on the Sunday night preceding
Labor Day.
Major Pullman pointed out what he
believes is needed In the matter OF
TRANSPORTATION in several sections OF
the city where, he declared, the resi-.
dents are dependent upon the street
cars in that they cannot afford even
the cheapest Of automobiles. He EN-.
phasized the fact that southwest
Washington has no playground for
white children. and that the absence
of a high school in that section necessi.
tates the travel by the children of
more than a mile to the nearest high
school. He declared that one OF the
greatest needs Of the southwest is
parks and breathing spaces.
