but don't you think this is just lit
tie raw? What's it all about?"
The newest conner eyed ME for a
moment. then with quiet dignity drew
from his pocket and handed me his
card, which read simply:
M. DEL MAR, Private Investigator.
AS l looked up, saw Del Mars
other policeman bringing in another
manacled man.
These are crooks-foreign agents"
replied Del Mar pointing to the pris-
oners. THE government has employed
me to run them down"
What of this?" asked Elaine, hold
ing up the note from Bertrand.
"A fake. forgery" reiterated Del
Mar. looking at 1t a moment critically.
Then to the men uniformed as police
he ordered: You can take them to
Jail. They're the fellows. all right"
As the prisoners were led of, Del
Mar turned to Elaine. Would you
mind answering few questions about
these mem"
"Why-no," she hesitated. But I
think we'd better go into the house,
after such a thing as this. 1t makes
me feel nervous"
With Del Mar I followed Elaine in
through the conservatory.
Del Mar had scarcely registered at
the La Coste when the smaller car
which had been waiting at the fisher
mems hut drew up before the hotel
entrance. From 1t aIighted the fussy
old gentleman who bore such re-
markable resemblance to the fisher
man, hastily paid his driver and en-.
tered the hotel. ..-..
He went directly to the desk and

soIte valet was already unpacking
some trunks and laying out clothes
when Del Mar and his assistant en-
tered. ...
With an exclamation OF satisfaction
ac his unostentatious entry into the
city, Del Mar threw off his heavy coat.
The valet hastened to assist him in
removing the clothes. still wet and
wrinkled from his plunge into the sea.
Scarcely had Del Mar changed his
clothes than he received two visitors.
Strangely enough. they were dressed
in the uniform of policemen.
First of all we must convince them
of our honesty" he said, looking fixed
iy at the two men. Orders have been
given to the men employed by WI
Fang to be about in half an hour. We
must pretend to arrest them on sight.
You understand"
Yes, sir" she nodded.
Very well, come on" Del Mar Or
dered, taking up his hat and preced-
ing them from the room.
Outside the La Coste, Del Mar and
his two policemen entered the car
which had driven De! Mar from the
seacoast and we're quickly whisked
away, uptown, until they came near
the Dodge house.
Del Mar leaped from the car, fol-
lowed by his two policemen. There
they are, already" he whispered,
pointing up the avenue.
All three fastened up the avenue
now. where, beside wall, they could
see two men looking through intently
as though very angry at something 60
ing on inside.
Arrest them!" shouted Del Mar,
as his own men ran forward.
The fight was short and sharp, with
every evidence of being genuine. One
of the men managed to break away
and jump the garden wall, with Del
Mar and one of the policemen after
him, while the other only reached the
wall to be dragged down by the other
policeman.
Elaine and I had been. as l have
said, talking with the man named
Bailey, who posed as a secret service
man, when the rumpus began. As the
man came over the fence, warning
Bailey, 1t was evident that neither of
them had time to escape. With his
club the policeman struck the new
conner OF the two fiat, while the tall.
athletic gentleman leaped upon Bailey,
and before we knew it had him dis
armed. In a most clean-cut and pro
fessional way he snapped the brace
lets on the man.
Elaine was astonished at the ka-
Ieidoscopic turn of affairs, too aston
ished even to make an outcry. As
for me. 1t was all SO sudden that I
had no chance to take part in it. Be.

the cartridge in the chamber of re-

until he had 1t fully loaded. 1t was
his own invention of an asphyxiating
bullet.
Perhaps half an hour later the old
gentleman. his room cleaned up and
his Immaculate appearance restored,
sauntered forth from the hotel down
the street like veritable Turvey-
drop, to show himself.
Elaine seemed quite impressed with
her new friend, Del Mar, as we made

sure that it was pose on her part. At
any rate he seemed quite eager to

To the National Anti-Alcohol League
of France President Poincare has
sent the following statement:
"You ask the president OF the re-
public to follow the examples of 9TH

gasement to abstain from all spiritu-
Gus liquors during the war. That is
an engagement the president takes

even afterwards. He never drinks

with well-manicured finger, scarcely
reminiscent Of fisherman. began trac-
ing the names down the list until he
stopped before one which read:
Marcus Del Mar and valet, Wash
ington, D. c., Room $50"
With quick glance about. he made
a note of 1t and turned away, leaving
the La Coste to take up quarters of
his own in the Prince Henry down the
street.
Not until Del Mar had left with his
two policemen did the fussy old gen.
tleman reappear in the La Coste. Then
he rode up to Del Mars room and
raped at the door.

of the valet.

The little old man appearing to con-
slider, standing a moment dandling his
silk hat Absent-mindedly he dropped
it. As the valet stopped to pick it up
the old gentleman exhibited an agility
and strength scarcely to be expected
of his years. He seized the valet,
while with one foot he kicked the
door shut.
Before the surprised servant knew
what was going on his assailant had
whipped from his pocket handker-
chief in which was concealed thin
tube of anesthetic. Then leaving the
valet prone in a corner with the hand
kerchief over his face. he proceeded
to make a systematic search of the
rooms, opening all drawers, trunks
and bags.
He turned pretty nearly everything
upside down, then started on the desk.
Suddenly he paused. There was n
paper. He read it, then with an air of
extreme elation showed in into his
pocket.
AS he was going out he stopped
beside the valet, removed the handker-
chief from his face and bound him
with q cord from the portieres. Then,

counter, he descended in the elevator.

Quite evidently, however, he wanted
to cover his tracks, for he had not
gone half a dozen blocks before he

whittier the fussy little old man made
his way as quickly as he could through
a side street. he went quietly up to his
room.
His door was now locked. He did
not have to deny himself to visitors,
for he had none. Still his room was
cluttered by vast amount Of para
phernalia and he was seated before a
table deep in work.
First Of all he tied handkerchief
over his nose and mouth. Then he took
up a cartridge from the table and care
fully extracted the bullet. Into the
space occupied by the bullet he poured

A BIT OF HISTORY.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
The revenue system by which the
United States became partner In the
liquor business originated during the
Civil war. In order to prosecute the
war to free four million slaves. the
congress OF the United States passed
a bill putting a high tax on liquor.
When the bill had passed both
houses, Salmon p. Chase. secretary OF
the treasury, brought 1t to President
Lincoln for his signature. Chase,
said Mr.. Lincoln. Il would rather have
my right arm taken OF than to sign
that bill. but l reckon I'll have to do
1t. You say II is necessary to carry
on this war to free those human
slaves We have got to do it. But
tell me, Chase. will you promise, and
will congress promise. to repeal this
bill as soon as the war is over?'
Chase promised.
But at the close of the war and
before the promise could be redeemed.
President Lincoln was II. 3assinated
and the promise forgotten. Doubtless
had Lincoln lived the country would
not today be under the domination OF
the lcgalized liquor traffic.

TRAVELLERS WANT PROHIBITION.

Years ago the travelling man got
many orders by taking his customers
out and buying them drinks. In fact
the system was highly approved and
commonly employed But now comes

calls for national prohibition. The
very men who used to be regarded as
the friends of liquor are now it's enc

saloon business cripples trade. and
when trade is crippled travelling men
can't sell goods. Any travelling man

says Dr. Winfield Scott Hall. He gets
for himself a trivial amount OF nour-

two ounces of a narcotic poison. the

less alert and therefore more amen
able to accidents. to make him less
efficient and therefore more likely to
lose his job. and to make him more
likely to suffer from toxins and in

WHY THE BOIL WEEVIL
 THRIVES

Destruction of birds, according to G. C. Shields, president of the League of American Sports men, costs the United States a billion dollars a year. Col. Shields made the assertion in an address before the Chicago Chap ter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
 Cotton growers, he said, lose $l00, ,000,000 a year by the boil weevil, because quail, prai- rie chickens, meadow larks and other birds which were formerly there in millions have been swept away by thoughtless men and boys"
 The chinch bug costs wheat growers another $l00, 900, 900, he said. and the Hessian fly $20O, 900, GOO.
 "A quail killed by an expert in Ohio had in it's craw l,200 chinch bugs" he said, another killed in Kansas wheat field had 2,000 Hessian flies. :"
 Col. Shields added that potato growers paid $l7,0 ,000.0O0 year for spraying poisons. and re- marked that a quail slain in Pennsylvania had 127 potato bugs in its craW.
