 "Yes, I've heard of him. Andrew admitted.
 Walter went on, speaking with en- thusiasm.
 ssWhy, that fellow was the cleverest this country ever produced he declar- ed, with sincere admiration in his voice. tfI tell you he only touched the high spots-banks, corporations, the c1assiest things going. The men that worked for him even never got their lamps on him, and the bulls never had nothing on him. And then Wainwright got after him and threw a scare into him so he up and got cold feet and quit. So what chance you got? Huh!''
 @sThat question need not concern you in the least, Walter. It is sufficient for you that have guaranteed your safety He paused as Parker ap- peared in the doorway waiting for his attention.
 '.Mr. and Mrs. B1ount have arrived, sir," Parker explained. 'They are in the drawing room, sir.''
 ''TelI them that shall see them at once" Andrew directed. Let me Know instantly when Miss Blount ar riYes.'' He nodded dismissal to the servant and turned again to the fuming young man opposite him. His voice b3unded in sharp command, 'tYou, Wal ter, will go to your room at once and study the memorandum until I send for you to meet your parents As he passed into the drawing room Andrew cast one swift glance toward a small table on the far side of the room and noted with an almost imper- cephble smile tiny simmer of blue light that shone from the solitaire dia- mond placed there in readiness for the coning of his guests.

 "Why?" Andrew asked sharply.

 Andrew interrupted reassuringly:
 "You need have no fear of the au- thoFities. I shall protect you, There can be no trouble for you if you are discreet. Your only danger lies in curi- osity and in disregarding my instruc- tions.'
 BIount Whirled toward his wife with a sigh of relief.
 "Get that, sadie7'' he demanded, with note of marital authority in his heavy voice. Just you remember it, or else you'll be back in Joliet doing those fancy stitches on bed ticking" The woman nodded assent.
 'I certainly got that,' she affirmed in a rich, throaty voice, modified by a faint twang. But been honest so long now I'm actually beginning to feel honest-inside. And, what's more, 1 and I never did think it could be any 1 ways possible, but you can shoot me if I ain't kind of beginning toto like it!' Andrew gave no heed to this virtu- ous confession.

THE INVASION OF HOBOKEN

From the New York World.
 The gloom of blue-law Sunday de- scended suddenly on Hobokenl as a the Sheriff Kinkead Dashing into the peace- full New Jersey community in an auto mobile, he proceeded to get busy In the nome of law and order. First he tackled the saloons near police headquarters and closed them, putting their proprietors un- der arrest for violating the Sunday law; ther he served notice on the motion pie ture house managers and the theatre man. agers In turn, and ordered storekeepers to close their premises. Within two hours of the reform invaders appearance the whole town was as dry and dull as the most ardent batarian could wish.
 Altogether it was as spectacular as an old-time excise raid In Manhattan and quite as profitess. Since the Hudson county sheriff tasted blood, so to speak in the Bayonne strike riots, he has ex- hibited lively zeal for law enforcement But what has his performance in Ho- boken accomplished more than to prove for the hundredth time the infinite pos abilities of using the excise law to annoy perfectly orderly and innocent people?
 Nobody is injured by the amusement re- sorts of Hoboken being open on Sunday ana nobody wants them closed or sup poses that they will long remain closed But officials with predilection for play ing politics can always be counted on tC seize an opportunity to make themselves conspicuous and tKe law odious.

The children were escorted by four nurses, two Sisters of Charity and a member of the hospital staff. The party left in a special car for Chicago, which will be the distributing point. The youngsters ages range from to years. In honor of their departure each was provided with a new froclS and wardrobe. Twenty porters helped put the small passengers on board their car. Dur ing the last 46 years the hospital has found homes for 200O0 children. As they usually leave the hospital when very young, few ever know that they are foundlings. Some of them have inherited fortunes. An agent of the hospital makes regular visits to the homes where chil- dren have been adopted. to see that they are we'll cared for

CAESAR IN ENGLAND
Indianapolis News.

From the Indianapolis News.
 The exact date upon which Julius Caesar landed on the shores of Britain was definitely determined d few years ago. and Sunday. August 9. 55 B. C., has been set down as the day of that impor- tant event. Caesar himself tells that he set out In this expedition from Boulogne at midnight with 5000 men in transports besides a few swift-moving war salleys or triremes. and arrived at point near
 the British coast about 10 o'clock in the forenoon. He said that but little of summer remained and the people were en- gagged in the harvest, and that he returned three weeks later. just before the equinox He further says that the full moon oc- cured on the fourth day after his land ing. The full moon of August in that year is ascertained from astronomical tables to have been at a. m. of the slst. so that Caesar landed on the 27th, It has been determined that he landed near place now called Romney, that name having been affixed to the place fin commemoration of It's having been the site of the first Roman encampment or British soil.

New Paving Material

London is trying out an experiment in paving, using a heavy coating of rubber upon a base of wooden blocks, according to Popular Mechanics. This paving has been in use a year, subjected to heavy traffic-equiva- lent to approximately ninety tons to the square foot for each hour in the twenty-four So far the paving shows no indication of injury. A wooden block pavement put down at the same time and subjected to the same traf- fife conditions has worn down one- half inch.
 The rubber paving has several ar guments in its favor. It is resilient, and therefore easy on horses feet; it's wearing qualities are apparently su- perior to other paving materials, and it affords a nonslipping, nonskidding roadway. Above all, it is noiseless.
 This noise-reducing quality espe- cially recommends it, and it may be possible that in this material lies the solution of the paving problem which cities everywhere have for many years attempted to solve.
 If the experiment proves the rub Der paving to be of such durability as to mitigate it's original cost, it will no doubt grow in popularity. The quality of rubber does not have to be as high as for many other uses to which rubber is put. A very servicea- ble quality of rubber is even now be- ing procured from corn cobs.
 Millions of dollars are being spent yearly in American cities for paving that is short-lived and generally un- satisfactory.
 It would be interesting and perhaps profitable to have the practicability of this rubber paving thoroughly tested in this country.

THE BASIS OF RAILROADING

From Golfers.
 One of the railroads had a bad collision recently. The conductor. engineer and fireman of an extra train all forgot about regular passenger train, the schedule ran into it from behind. After getting all the facts the superintendent of the division reported that the accident was caused by the chance assignment of three moral weddings to the same crew. The conductor had been fired once before for causing collision and was not a man of strong character. The engineers record showed three previous suspensions, and he was known+to Indulge occasionally in gross immoralities. The fireman had been in trouble over a scanda.ous domcs- tic difficulty. The superintendent summed up:
 Having in the service such mon as these, the best way to frame up colli- sion is to get them together in the same crew"
 The Railway Age Gazette comments or the gravity of this danger and the diffi- culty of forestalling it. and suggests that perhaps it would be good rule ito make sure of at least one wholly trustworthy mar on every train" The point is that In this particular railroadiny does not diff fer from any other human pursuit having to do with the hard facts of this world Tie tasis of them ali is character and lack of character means loss and peril anl deatll
