he announced.
rs he? I wonder whether they are
all ready?" Elaine replied hurryine
out of the room. "Tell him to wait.
In the attic, Bertholdi was still al
work, keeping her eyes open to exc
cute the mission on which Del MAI
had sent her.
Rusty, forgotten in the excitement
by Jennings, had roamed at will
through the house and seemed quite
interested. For this was the trunk be-
hind which he had his cache of treas
ures.
As Bertholdi started to move behind
the trunk, Rusty could stand 1t nc
longer. He darted ahead of her into
his hiding place. Among the dog bis
cult and bones was the torpedo model
which he had dug up from the palm
pot in the conservatory. He seized
it in his mouth and turned to carry
it off.
There, in his path, was his enemy,
the new girl. Quick as flash, she
saw what it was Rusty had, and
grabbed at it.
Get out!" she ordered, looking at
her prize in triumph and turning it
over and over in her hands.
At that moment she heard Elaine
on the stairs. What should she do!
She must hide it. She looked about.
There was the tray, packed and lying
on the floor near the trunk marked e.
Dodge" She thrust it hastily into the
tray, pulling a garment over it.
Nearly through" painted Elaine.
Eyes, Miss Dodge"
Then please tell the expressman to
come up"
Bertholdi hesitated, chagrined. Yet
there was nothing to do but obey.
She looked at the trunk by the tray
to fix it In her mind, then went down
stairs.
AS she left the room, Elaine lifted
the tray into the trunk and tried to

ton turned. a slight sound was made
when the proper number came oppo-
site the working point. Imperceptible
ordinarily to even the most sensitive
ear, to an ear trained it was COM
paratively easy to recognize the fall
Of the tumblers over. this sensitive lit
tie instrument.
AS he worked, the door behind him
opened softly and the gray friar en-
tered, closing it and moving noiseless-
ly over back Of the shelter of a big
mahogany highboy, around which he
could watch.
At last the safe was opened. Rapid
ly the man went through it's contents.
"Confound it," he muttered. "She
didn't put 1t here-anyhow."
The bolero started to close the safe
when he heard noise in the room
and looked curiously back of him. Del
Mar himself, followed. by the domino
girl, entered.

issary stepping out of the closet and
meeting them, "but can't find the"
Hands up-all Of you!"
They turned in time to see the gray
friar's gun yawning at them. Most
politely he lined them up. Still
holding his gun ready, he lifted up
the mask of the domino girl.
"So-it's your" he grunted.

at him. Del Mar piled in. But sounds
downstairs alarmed them and the
emissary, released, fled quickly with
the girl. The gray friar, however, kept
his hold On Mephistopheles, as if he
had been wrestling with a veritable
devil.
Down in the hall, had again met
my domino girl, few minutes after
had resigned Elaine to another of her
numerous admirers.
81 thought you deserted me-" I said,
somewhat piqued.
"You deserted me-" she parted,
nervously. However, I'll forgive you
if you'll get me an ice."
I fastened to do so. But no sooner
had l gone than Del Mar stalked
through the hall and went upstairs.
My domino girl was watching for him
and followed.
When I returned with the ice,
looked about, but she was gone. 1t
was scarcely a moment later, how
ever, that l saw her hurry downstairs,
accompanied by the Mexican bolero.
I stepped forward to speak to her, but
she almost ran past me without a
word.
"a NUT" l remarked under my
breath, pushing back my mask.
started to eat the ice myself, when,
moment later Elaine passed through
the hall with Spanish cavalier.

laughed. 'I've been looking all over
for you. Thank you very much, SIRE"
she bowed with mock civility to the
cavalier. ct was only one dance, you

The cavalier bowed reluctantly and

UNFAIRLY.
"Why, what did he say?" asked
Elaine.
Something about your dressing
table"
my dressing tahle?" she repeated.
We ran quickly up the steps.
Elaine's room showed every evidence
of having been the scene of a struggle,
as she went over to the table. There
she picked up a rose and under it a
piece of paper on which were some
words printed with pencil roughly.
Look" she cried, as l read with
her:

"My safe!" she cried, moving to a
closet. AS she opened the door, ina

Elaine as he rose and stretched him

Elaine checked herself. She had
been about to hand the note to Del
Mar when an idea seemed to come to
her. Instead, she crumpled it up and
thrust 1t into her bosom.
On the street the bolero and the
domino girl were hurrying away as
fast as they could.
Meanwhile, the gray friar had over
come Del Mar, had bound and gagged
him and thrust him into the closet.
Then he wrote the note and laid it,
with rose from vase, on Elaine's
dressing table before he, too, left the
place.
More than ever I was at loss to
make 1t cC..

Dodge house and very trim but not
overdressed young lady was an.

Miss Dodge?" she inquired as Jen-
nings held open the portieres and she
entered the library where Elaine and
Aunt Josephine were.
If Elaine had only known, it was
the domino girl of the night before
who handed her a note and sat down,
looking about SO demurely. while
Elaine read:
My Dear Miss Dodge:
The bearer, Miss Bertholdi, Is an oper-
alive of mine. l would appreciate 1t II
you would employ her in some capacity in
your house, as L have reason to believe
that certain foreign agents will soon make
another attempt to find Kennedy's lost
torpedo model
M. DEL MAR.
Elaine looked up from reading the
note. Miss Bertholdi was good to look
at, and Elaine liked pretty girls about
her.
Jennings" she ordered, "call
Marie"
To the butler and her maid, Elaine
gave the most careful instructions re-
garding Miss Bertholdi. "She can help
you finish the packing, first" she con-
cluded.
The girl thanked her and went out
with Jennings and Marie, asking Jen-
nings to pay her taxicab driver with
money she gave him, which he did,
bringing her grip into the house.
Later in the day, Elaine had both
Marie and Bertholdi carrying armfuls
Of her dresses from the closets in her
room up to the attic, where the last
of her trunks were being packed. On
one OF the many trips, Bertholdi came
alone into the attic, her arms full as
usual. Before her were two trunks,
very much alike, open and nearly
packed. She laid her armful Of clothes
on chair near by and pulled one of
the trunks forward. On the door lay
the trays of both trunks already
packed. Bertholdi began packing her
burden in one trunk which was marked
in big white letters, 'E. Dodge"

Jennings entered. "The expressman

Finally Del Mar reached spot on
the railroad where there were both a
curve and grade ahead. He stopped
his car and got out.
Down the road the bearded and Cog
gled motorcyclist stopped just in time
to avoid observation. To make sure,
he drew a pocket field glass and lev
eled it ahead.

call when l want you"
Back on the road the bearded cy-
clist could see Del Mar move down the
track though he could not hear the
directions. 1t was not necessary, how
ever. He dragged his machine into
the bushes, hid it, and hurried down
the road on foot.
Del Mars chauffeur was waiting
idly at the wheel when suddenly the
cold nose of a revolver was stuck
under his chin.
Not a word-and hands up-Or I'll
let the moonlight through you,"
growled out harsh voice.
Nevertheless the chauffeur man
aged to lurch out of the car and the
bearded stranger, whose revolver it
was, found that he would not dare to
shoot. Del Mar was not far enough
away TO risk it.
The chauffeur flung himself on him
and they struggled fiercely. rolling
over and over in the dust Of the road.

COUNCIL ELECTS
 ]. [. LAMBERT ASSESSOR

The Common Council held an ad- iourned meeting last night in the Town Hall. Councilmen Slater, How ard. Davis and Smith were present. The School Board asked for $35S.OO to run the school for the present month which was granted. The report of the Chief of Police and Town Clerk were received and ordered placed on file.
 The matter of thc appointment of an assessor for this year came up un- der the head of new business. But one application had been filed for the place, that of o. E. Lambert, and Mir. Lambert was elected to the position and his salary fixed at $10.00, that being the sum paid heretofore for the work.
 The clerk called the attention of the Council to an error in the Election Ordinance passed by the last council which provided that vacancies in the council should be filled at a special election. The law of the Territory requires that vancancies in the coun- cil. should be filled by the council themselves, and the clerk was in- structed to draw up an ordiance to bring the present ordinance in con formity with the law on the matter. An error in the Assessment law, which was amended and corrected by the last territorial legislature was also considered, and the clerk instructed to draw up an ordinance in accordance with the present wording of the sta tue.

JERSEY DEFEATS CAUSE OF
 WOMEN

TRENTON, N. J. Oct. 20-In the special election held yesterday on the question of woman suffrage, the hopes of the advocates of the cause were blasted, for the stat voted against the measure by a majority of fifty thousand. But one county in the en- tire state gave a majority in favor of the women, and throughout the rest of the state the vote was not even close. The suffragists profess not to be discouraged. but they are keenly disappointed over the outcome, which Is a surprise to the political obserV- CTS, as we'll as the women, for the editorial opinion of the state was largely in favor of the bill.

DOGS HAVE RABIES

A dog the least bit sick should be
watched with great care lest he be
suffering from rabies. If there is the
slightest suspicion about dog which
has bitten a person, the Iowa State
Board of Health Laboratory at the
State University, DR.. Henry Albert,
director, should be consulted, and
under his advice the dog may be kill
ed and its head sent to the laboratory
where it can be examined. Persons
who have been bitten should receive
the Pasteur treatment Immediately
The expense ought to be charged
against the person owning the dog,
and, should be unable to pay, the
public should furnish the funds. This
is sound teaching from an economical
as well as from a sanitary standpoint
and will tend to reduce the number
of unmuzzled dogs to the minimum.
A community which does not proper
ly protect its citizens should pay for
any damage they sustain from lack
of such protection.
