most important secret documents
stolen"
"Well?" I asked. much interested.
Again, two months later. when the
villa OF the prince of Montevachi, at
Palmero, was broken into and the
whole OF the famous Jewels OF the
princess stolen. II was a very strange
fact that the Iris was at the moment
In that port. But II was not until the
third occasion, when the yacht was
at Villefranche, and our squadron be-
ing at Toulon l got four days leave
to go along the Riviera, that my sus-
picions were aroused, for at the very
hour when was dining at the London
house at Nice with Muriel and
schoolfellow of hers, Elma Heath -
who was spending the winter there
with q lady who was Baron Oberg's
cousin-that a great robbery was
committed in one of the big hotels up

thirty thousand pounds. Then the
robberies, coincident with the visit OF
the yacht, aroused my strong suspi-
cion. / remarked the nature OF those
documents stolen from Malta, and
recognized that they could only be OF
service to a foreign government. Then
came the Leghorn incident of which
you told me. The yachts name had
been changed to the Lola, and she
had been reprinted. ! made search
ing inquiry, and found that on the
evening she was purposely run
aground in order to strike up friend
ship at the consulate, Russian gun
boat was lying in the vicinity. The
consuls safe was rifled, and the
scheme certainly was to transfer any
thing obtained from it to the Russian
gunboat."
But what was in the safer" | asked.
Fortunately nothing. But you see
they knew that our squadron was due
in Leghorn, and that some extremely
important dispatches were on the way
to the Administered orders based
upon the decision of the British cabi-
net as to the vexed question of Rus
sian ships passing the Dardanelles-
they expected that they would be
lodged in the safe until the arrival OF
the squadron, as they always are.
They were, however, bitterly disap-
pointed because the dispatches had
not arrived"
And them"

WILL AEROPLANES STOP WAR
orville Wright Is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think so,
Anyhow.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is very definite reason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other? The reason, as l figure 1t out,
is aeroplanes, Orville Wright writes
in Golfers. In consequence Of the
scouting work done by the flying ma
chimes. each side knows exactly what
the opposition forces are doing.
There is little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at un-
expected places. The aeroplane has
made that impossible. 1t has equal
lied information. Each side has such
complete knowledge of the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick, spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
present war started the army experts
expected 1t to be matter OF few
weeks or at most, few months. To-
day it looks as II it might run into
years before one side can dictate
terms. Now, a nation that may be
willing to undertake a war lasting a
few months may well hesitate about
engaging in one that will occupy years.
The daily cost of great war is OF
course stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the total is likely to
be so great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work in flying machines will
be the predominating factor, as IL
seems to me, in bringing this about.
l like to think so, anyhow.

COLDS SIREN LURE FOR MEN
Hardship and Death Dared by Thou
sands That They May Gain
Riches Quickly.

II was in 1898 that the rush OF gold
seekers to the Klondike reached it's
flood. The ninety-eighters probably
never will know the fame of the forty
miners, but they have a place in the
long history of the gold hunters. the
men Of all nations, ancient, medieval
and modern. The book has a hundred
chapters telling of failure and of death
to every one lightened with the story
OF success
Fl. M. Cadell recently visited the
Klondike and there made a study of
present conditions. He describes them
and adds an interesting account OF the
early day rush to the Northwest terri
tory. The Smithsonian institution has
put Mr.. Cadets report into print. 1t
is an interesting document. Some Of
the happenings in the Klondike were
duplicates of like happenings in Cali
fornia and Australia during the first
years of the surface washing in those
fields. These Implications show that
human nature is unchanging.
Men went to the Klondike daring
hardship and death that they might
get rich quick. Some of the gold
seekers were quickly successful. A
large percentage of the successful
ones almost literally threw their mon
ey away. Easy come, easy go. This
sort of thing has marked gold min.
ing in all ages. The Klondike is not
what it was, but human nature stays
the same. The discovery of gold at
the North pole would start north
ern migration that would take no &C.
count of the insuperable obstacles OF
distance and cold. The lure is ire.

Yawn for Your Health.

Doctor Naegeli, professor Of medi-
cine at Liege university. commends
the practice of yawning as a physical
reviver. A good yawn, the professor
maintains, is excellent for the lungs,
and for all the breathing organs as
we'll. But there is an art in yawning.
he says, just as there is an art in
breathing. Every yawn should be as
deep as possible. SO as to bring all the
muscles of the threat and chest into
action, and also to I'LL the lungs with q

the gas lamps were lit and the dark
ness of night was gradually creeping
on.
Jack had not been to the club, and
began now to grow thoroughly uneasy.
He had parted from me at the corner
of the Strand with only five minutes
walk before him, and yet he had APP
parently disappeared. Ny first impulse
was to drive to Noting Hill to inquire
of Muriel il she had news of him, but
somehow the Italians warning words
made me wonder If he had met with
foul play.

men who had passed by as we had

one had seemed strangely familiar.

The Truth About the Lola.

Throughout the long night | called
many times at the hospital, but the
reply was always the same. Jack had
not regained consciousness, and the
doctor regarded his case as hopeless.
In the morning | drove in hot haste
to Bassett road, Noting Hill. and at
the address Olinto had given me found
Muriel. When she entered the room
with folding doors into which | had
been shown, ! saw that she was pale
and apprehensive, for we had not met
since her fight, and she was, no doubt,
at loss for an explanation. But did
not press her for one. ! merely told
her that the Italian Santini had given
me her address and that i came as
