tered senses had time to realize what
had happened.
AS he fed, Roleau had no plan be-
yond that of mere flight. But it
CHANGED that he reached the outer cor
bringing her into it. He fell likewise
upon Kitty's guards with such des-
perate valor that before long they, too,
were scattered and helpless. A mo-
ment later Kitty and Roleau fed, seek
ing some exit from the palace walls.
The hue and cry followed them now
Almost they had escaped, but not
quite. Even at the great door Of the
palace itself they were apprehended
by yet other armed men. Once more
they were brought before the king.
so it seems we have two incor-
rigibles," commented that monarch
coldly as he faced Roleau and Kitty,
still painting. "This man, as you
know, Sachio, is far more dangerous
than his accomplish here. She is dan
gerous, yes, in way, but this man
has hesitated at nothing-not even
murder. What shall we do with him."
Sachio stood also regarding the two.
It'll tell you, your majesty" said he
at length, slowly, eff you ask me my
own feeling in the matter. Let us
send them out of the country to-
gether. They have way of gravitat-
ing together-let them go together to
that America of which they talk so
much. Let them find the protection
Of that Uncle Sam of whom they
prate."
Away with them!" command Cort-
islaw, imperiously.
Sachio therefore now had his task.
But how to achieve it was his ques-
ton. He knew well enough he could
not oblige either Kitty or Roleau to
book passage across the ocean unless
they so desired.
ATTEND to these two, lieutenant"
said he to the officer of the guard. |
Keep them safe until 1 return
He fastened now as rapidly as he
might to the water front, where at the |
restricted docks of Grahof-
fen an occasional ocean liner touched. |

Ills nean1es hesitated for moment
but at length agreed with him. "Why
them" said the spokesman. Il sup
pose"-and once more they looked at
the gold pieces in their hands.
There is not the least danger In
the world about it, said the strange
man who had thus accosted them.
You are committing no crime, but
are doing this country a service.
These two spies will be brought here
to the dock just before the ship sails.
There is some confusion-but they get
aboard-they are hoisted from the
dock into the hold, where they will be
SAFE. Very good, the vessel sails. She
is at sea one day, two days. Then all
at once there is hue and cry-stowa-
ways discovered-two of them. Very
we'll, that is all. They tell their story,
but the captain of the ship thinks
them to be stowaways, and nothing
else. They have the look of such. AS
such they will be landed in due time
at New York. Their passage money
is paid not to the ship but to you
yourselves-more than you would
make for six months wages. And be.
sides that, you have done good serv-
ice to our country, which is far more
friendly to your own, my hearties,
than that America to which these
spies must be deported. What say
you, then? 1t is a bargain?"
1t seemed that it was to be bar
gain.

He knew of such an instance now-a
vessel of sorts was lying loaded and
almost ready to sail. Perhaps chance
would favor him.
| He made his way across the crowded
! docks to the gangway of the steamer;
but he sought no converse with the
captain or the purser of the ship. In
stead he beckoned to him one or two
deck stewards, whom he selected after
| quick look as countrymen of a land
he knew.
See here, my good men, said he
when he had them aside. 'As fancy,
we are all interested in making money
is it not true?"
A grin made the answer of the two
sailors, who stood expecting some gra-
tuity.
The gratuity came-it fell into their
They stood dumfounded and speech
less for the moment, but Sachio went
on:
Listen, men," said he. There are
two spies here in the city, man and
a young woman. They are dangerous
to our country. They are our pris-
oners-we took them in the assault
on Gretzhoffen in the recent war be-
tween these two countries. They are
both Americans. l know how much |
your country loves Americans-you |
can guess how much love them"
True, true" said one of the men. |
"That is right. We know them
those Americans!"
Precisely" resumed the nobleman.
Nov, we must get these spies out of
this country secretly. They refuse to
take passage. Very well-we will
book it for them then. And see, |

Somewhere in the hold you could
watch them, could you not, men?
None will be the wiser, and you will

PAUPER'S OATH VS.. FINES.

Meridian, Miss, Aug 21-Something
of a furry occurred at police head
quarters Thursday afternoon when
eight negroes, recently fined in police
court on charges of gaming were
brought up and examined with refer
ence to their taking the pauper's oath,
with the purpose Of escaping the fine
which had been assessed against
them.
The question was raised by Attor-
ney H. A. Shots, and the contention
has raised a rather serious question
| in city circles. Law books are being
| looked over TO see what effect the
pauper's oath will have on fines plac-
ed in police court and whether or not
prisoners can use this to discharge
fines placed by the city, as they can
do in federal court The question is
still an open one and will be decided
later.
Mayor Parker was asked what eff
feet the pauper's oath would have or
a police court fine Thursday afternoon
and said he could not say at that time
but was inclined to the belief that 6
sentence would be worked out before
trial could be had on the question.

Money the Best Whip
BY FLORENCE E.. IODER

Modern civilization has developed
many queer and curious types, and
the queerest of them all is the woman
who marries for money. | am almost
inclined to agree with the rustic
whose famous remark there amt no
sich animal" made when he saw a
giraffe for the first time is history by
now. For by no stretch of the imag-
ination can / conceive woman who
marries for money alone. She might
convince herself that her Croesus
needed a home, or that he should be
protected from the designing horde of
feminine cats which surround him, Or
she might even be in that blissful
state wherein she imagines she is
really in love. But to marry for houses
and motors and jewels and money, to
lay herself open to the loneliness and
unhappiness, to rounds of useless
bridge and tea parties, and the like
never! | don't believe there is a
woman alive who would deliberately
make that choice, that is, if she knew
what she was putting herself in for.
The trouble all lies in the fact that
women who make mesalliances of this
kind either refuse to consider the
consequences or close their eyes to
them. Ambitious mammas are almost
entirely to blame for this state of
mind They begin when a girl is too
young to think for herself, and teach
her the fatuOus and deceiving fall
lacies by which they mold her to their
designs. They forget that the mind
of 40-odd years is entering into a vain
competition with the questioning,
eager mind of a girl. Fortunately for
the American girl, she is too indepen-

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
TOMMY fuckers FIND.


Tommy Tucker stood with a crowd
of other children on the dusty station |
platform. There were a dozen boys, |
all in blue uniforms, and the same |
number of girls in blue dresses with |
white sailor hats. For the City Or
phan Asylum was going to the coun-
| try on a trip.
Tommy was not a handsome lad.
Tommy was thin and wiry. He had
| big eyes with a pleading look but his
keen face had a very intelligent eX-
preston far beyond his years. For
Tommy was fond of reading and study
ing about ali he saw, especially in re-
gard to rocks and other things found
in the country.
/ After a ride of three hours Tommy
and several other boys reached a sta
Ition, at which they alighted and were
met by farmer with a big wagon
drawn by mules. Then came a long
drive up hills and down into valleys,
past fields of waving grain and
through deep, cool woods that seemed
like a fairy dream.
At the farm Tommy was delighted.
But he soon grew accustomed to the
life and began to wander about in the
fields, seeking strange rocks. And had
quite a bag of them of all colors and
kinds collected.
Tommy is going to build himself a
house." the other boy laughingly said.
But Tommy kept at his work. The
farmer, whose name was Edwards,
grew interested and would help the
lad. So they got to be great friends.
Mr.. Edwards told Tommy about his
troubles, how he was afraid that he
would soon have to give up his place
for a debt.
The farm is a good one in spots"
Mr. Edwards said to the boy one day
as they wandered about the fields
Hooking for interesting rocks. But
most of the land is no good for crops
and hard to work. 1t seems to be
nothing but stone.''
The next day Tommy went fishing
and was caught in big storm. When
Ehe saw the dark clouds gathering he
ran for home but before he reached
the house the rain broke over him in
torrents. So the boy ran into what
looked like a natural cave in a stony
| HILL Here he sat for some time watch
| ing the rain pour over the cliff above
him. The cave was large and full of
dry bits of wood.
| Il guess l will build fire and get
dry" said Tommy to himself. So he
piled the stock up and lighted them,
then making a bed of leaves, he lay
down. Being tired, he fell asleep, and
by the time he awoke the storm was
over and the moon shining brightly.
So he set out for home.
The next morning he and Mr.. Ed
wards went to explore the cave Tom
had found. They walked about it and
admired the size and dryness. But as
they were coming out Tommy picked
up from the ground where the ire
had burned a bit of rock-it was
burned, not black, but into SOFT,
beautiful white.
"Oh! Mr.. Edwards, look at this"
exclaimed Tommy. See how this
stone has changed by the fire. l think
it is limestone from its looks
q guess you are right, Tom,' re-
piled Mr. Edwards, eagerly, and il
} YOU are, this stone is very valuable.

dent and individual in her thoughts for
such treatment. Sooner or later she
energies from her shell of irresolution
and as a result she marries some ris-
ing young capitalist whose sole and
visible means of support is a small
salary. If necessary, she helps out
the family budget by taking position
herself. That is how the money prob
lem is met by more of our young cou-
pies today than one would suspect.
And why not? l know one couple
who take turns cooking their break
fast, and jolly time they have of it,
too. They leave the dishes until night,
start their fireless cooker, and leave
for their respective offices. At noon
they have a quiet little luncheon to-
gether, and $3.50 finds him waiting at
the elevated steps. In the evening
they go out together, to movie or
any other place they happen to fancy.
Isn't this true companionship? A
truer and happier couple couldn't be
found. This spirit of comradeship,
which is the soul of the real home.
And when the monthly bills come in,
they don't argue, they don't ask each
other impertinent and singing ques'
tions-they go 'fifty-ffty'' and pay the
bills, and the remainder belongs to the
one who worked for it. Isn't that a
pretty good solution of the money
problem? Compare it with the man
who nags about the bills, no matter
how good the reason, for their size
and you can readily understand why
women no longer marry for money
They know there is too much real
happiness in the other life, and there
isn't a woman alive who wouldn't
take happiness before wealth.
