Radcliffe slipped into Mrs. Copeland's

safe In the wall and examined It. That
magnificent coronet and that collaret
OF diamonds would repose IN yonder

The following day, at Nine. Du Yal's,
plans were completed for the robbing
Of the Copeland wall safe. Bruce and
Radcliffe agreed that the attempt
should be made that night, as the Cope
lands had spoken Of going into the city
for night ut the opera. They sent
two lesser crooks to watch the prem

shadows against the curtains Of Mrs.

Mr.. Hook had been butler in the
Copeland house for about six weeks.
He had been highly recommended by
Marie, the maid, who had served her
mistress with apparent loyalty for two
years. All for the purpose that was
now being enacted, Hook was merely
her partner in crime, and both were
wanted by the police In other cities.

mo Hoppery OF tne Hupy Soronot.
7 YUNT and Baird had at least
- found out where the Zudora
mine was, but the rightful
ownership still hung In the
air. Hunt also declared that the false
claimants had been cognizant Of their
trip to Montana and had tried to push
them Off the board. The best thing
they now could do would be to walt
for some fresh move against Zudora.
Sooner or later they would make an.
other attempt against her life or lib.
erty. Hunt warned both Zvdora and
Storm that II anything turned up Of a
suspicious character TO notify him at
once.
About this time Copeland, the bank
er and broker who had handled vari.
Gus deposits from Zudora and at whose
bank she had her safety deposit box,
concluded to make his wife fine
birthday gift. This gift was hand
some coronet of rubies. Mrs. Cope
land possessed many splendid jewels,
but this latest addition surpassed them
all. Womanlike. she wanted to show
her friends how generous her husband
was. SO she decided to give dance.
Among those who received invitations
were Nine Du Val, Captain Radcliffe
and Bruce. Mrs. Copeland knew Nine.
Du Val, but not the other two. They
were business friends of her husband,
and MS such she accepted them.
Zudora and Storm were invited be-
cause Mrs. Copeland looked upon these
TWO as friends. II had been some time
since Iudora and Storm had gone TO
any social function. and naturally she
was excited She was IN nowise In

"Scnd them In" said Hunt, smiling.
"I've an idea our friend Storm sent
them here. Don't do any talking"
"All right" laughed Baird.
The upshot of the visit resulted In
Hunt accepting the case. He went UP
to the house at once and went over
the ground thoroughly. He quizzed
the maid narrowly, but she was letter
perfect In her part. She fooled and
disarmed him apparently. but he took
careful notice of her features and her
height and color. There were tracks

that he could learn nothing In this
direction.

Sooner or later he expected TO en-.

good deal of patience when necessity
required 1t.
Now, one thing Detective Hunt did
find, and that was Hooks own memor-
andum book. In that book he learned
| that the buffers "hangout" was
Riodon's saloon in Ramona avenue,
Bronx. So at the same time that Rad
cliffe read his newspaper and Hook
flirted with the maid upstairs, Hunt
and Baird stopped on the opposite side
! Of the street and eyed the name on
the saloon windows.

clared Hunt. Suppose we stroll over
and see what's inside"
Radcliffe CHANGED to look out Of a
clear spot In the window and saw
them. He was In quandary for a
moment. But he had his worry for
nothing. The detective and the re.

She kept her jewels In small wall
safe. She was giving her hair few
finishing pats when the maid entered
to announce that guests were arriv-
ing. Hastily the mistress replaced In
the safe those trlnkets she could not
use and shut the door. But In her
hurry she left on the dresser little
book which contained the combination
numbers.
The moment she was gone the maid
pounced upon the book and thumbed 1t
hurriedly. She had seen this little
book many times, but until now she
had never been able to get her hands
upon 1t. She knew that 1t contained
the combination of the wall safe. She
turned her apron over and jotted down
the numerals on the linen. She re-
placed the book In the identical spot
she had found 1t and left the room.
Baird was glad to see Zudora and

the dancing began, then he wandered

Says Grand Duke of
 Russia Is Great Man

London, Aug s-..The Grand Dukes voice is one of the Striking things in his personality, says the Right Rev Herbert Bury. Anglican Bishop of Northern Europe. in de- scribing a recent interview which he had with the Commander-in-Ch of tha Russian armies.
 'sHis voice is not only very. deep. strong and clear, but it hasa peculiar sound and satisfying effect upon the ear,'' explains the Bishop, 4and it seems to me that his soldiers listened as though they loved just to hear him speak.
 The Grand Duke is a tall man. standing far above everyone else. and he has a very serious. almost sad, ex4 pression.
 There are three qualities which I have observed him to possess. He is man of quick decision in emer- gencies; he has the faculty of gath ering round him the best and strong est men in the country, and he has the modesty and humility which is the mark of real greatness. He has no desire for popularity or applause, he does not care who gets the credit so long as the thing is done.''

Fl Paso. Aug. 9Genera4. Raou1 Madero, commander of a division of Villa. forces, Villa governor of Nuevo Leon State, and member of the fam fly of the late President Francisco Madero, issued a statement which was made public today on the peace plan of the Pan-American confer ences General Madero said:
 stNothing is more desired by the Mexican people than the re-esta blish- naent of peace and stable government but. the pride of a sovereign people naturally demands that if assistance must come from an outside source that it must be accomplished with honor to ourselves and without in any way infringing our national pride.
 During this revolution many peo- pie have openly advocated what is called armed intervention President Wilson followed the even course which now seems to be eliminating in a satisfactory solution.

No action was taken on the Taylor system and the effect it is likely to have upon the men was being talked over, but the meetings, both in the upper and lower halls were unanimous in condenning the bonus offer of the company.
 As a result, it was decided to ap- point committees to wait upon the company officials and present the ulti- matrm of the workers, One member from each of the 25 departents in the factory. taking in all kinds of work en. was appointed in each meeting to a general committee that held a meet ing later.

Do1ans to wait upon the company of f1cials at g o'clock this morning and present the ultimatum of the work men
 The u1timatum was simply that an eight hour working day with the same wages paid for the present working day, is denaaaded and unless it is granted, a strike will be called in 48 hours
