abroad the finest work is done in the
I, converts whose occupants are not de
luded by the false idea that much is
accomplished by speed, and where tho
work is done for love and not fol-
money. Many of the vestments USED IT
the church at the present day were
made in Belgium, but of course the
Germans have put an end to this as
they have to many other things which
humanity has valued.
Embroidery is one of the most an
cient of the arts and the Old Tesla
ment is replete with descriptions OF
various pieces. At the beginning of
the Christian era it came into import
ant use in the church and from the
time of Christ to the Twelfth century
has been called its heroic period. From
the Twelfth to the Sixteenth century
it was used most lavishly, not only in
the church, but on the garments OF
both men and women. on the trappings
for horses, and all through the houses
on hangings, furniture and linens.
The art of embroidery was one of
the most important subjects of in.
struction in the medieval converts and
not only was its production a business
or profession, but it was the favorite
pursuit of the ladies of the Saxon and
Anglo-Norman laity There were,
moreover, schools apart from the nun
merle for it's teaching, one such is
known to have existed in the neigh
borhood of the monastery of Ely per-
haps as early as the Seventh century.
The resemblance in designs in eccle-
siastical embroidery to those of illu'
minated manuscripts suggests that the
same artists were responsible for both
designs, or that the embroiderers and
embroideresses we're at the same time
skilful in draughtsmanship and illumi-
nation. The great period of English
church embroidery was from the
Twelfth to the Fourteenth century.
Royal personages had their own en-
broiderers attached to their house
holds who were generally highly paid
and esteemed. Linen in the Sixteenth
century was freely Ornamented with
embroidery and in silk of various col
ors and also with drawn work until the

of vestments and other embroideries
already existing in churches took
place. 1t was in the year 1850 with the
command of the council that the affairs
all over the country we're pulled down
and destroyed and plain tables placed
in their stead. The destruction of
sacred embroidery was necessary
consequence. The visitors carried
away almost every valuable and
stripped the churches of all gold and
silver plate and of their valuable en-
broidery." The immense wealth of en-
broidery vestments and hangings pos
sessed by the English churches at the
Reformation is abundantly proved by
inventories, but after 1850 almost the
whole of it had disappeared, some of
it being burnt for the sake of the pre-
cious metals contained in the gold and
silver thread so largely used and much
more passing into private hands.
In the Sixteenth century, as else
where, embroidery was dominated by
the Italian influence and the courts
of the Popes became the rallying
points for the best artists and crafts
men. Spain contributed gorgeous tex
tiles worked in gold thread and the
Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries
were periods of great splendor in that
country, and in France, Italy and Elan
ders. Louis XIV. gave the highest en-
couragement to embroiderers and under
Louis XIV although the work partook
of the frivolous character of the times,
much of it was exquisite; the finest
linens were used and white embroidery
became popular. The Revolution cut
short the work and destroyed great
quantities of it,
Petit-Point Embroidery.
The Point embroidery which is
worked with fine silks or worsteds on
coarse brown canvas-1ike linen in a
fine slanting stitch became popular
during the reign of Elizabeth in Eng.
land. 1t resembles tapestry more than
any other class of work. An event OF
some interest in the history of English
embroidery was the incorporation OF
the Broderers company three years
after Elizabeths accession. This com
pany is thought to have existed as lone
as three centuries before this time
however. Embroidery during the Sew
enteenth century In England failed te
maintain the high standards of its
earlier period in design, although the
technical cleverness of some of the
raised work of this period is remark
able.

direction of the mysterious, dark
house. Half mile, perhaps, down
the road, they halted and left the car
beside the walk
Doctor Martin was too surprised to
marvel at anything now, and he real
lied that he was in the power of two
desperate men. Quickly they blind
folded him.
1t seemed an interminable walk, as
they led him about TO confuse him, but
at last he could feel that they had
taken him into house and along
passag eways, which they were making
unnecessarily long in order to de-
strov al recollection that they could.
Finally he knew that he was in a
room 10 which others were present.
A moment later he felt them remove
the bandage from his eyes, and, blink
ing at che light, he could see hard
faced fellow, pale and weak, on a
blood-stained couch. Over him bent
a masked man and another man stood
near by endeavoring by improvised
bandages to stop the flow of blooc.
What can you do for this fellow"
asked the masked man.
Doctor Martin, seeing nothing else
to do. for he was more than outnum-
sbered now, bent down and examined
him
AS he rose, he said, "He will be
dead from loss of blood by morning,
no matter if he is properly bandaged.
him?' whispered the Clutching Hand
hoarsely.
BLOOD TRANSMISSION might save him, %
replied the doctor. "But so much blood
would be needed that whoever gives
it would be liable to die himself"
Clutching Hand stood silent mo-
ment, thinking, as he gazed at the
man who had been one of his chief
reliance. Then, with a menacing ges-
ture, he spoke in a low, bitter tone:
"She who shot him shall supply the
blood"
A few quick directions followed to
his subordinates, and as he made
ready to go he muttered, Keep the
doctor here. Don't let him stir from
the room"
1t was just before early daybreak
when the Clutching Hand and his con
federate reached the Dodge house in
the city and came up to the back door,
over the fences. AS they stood there
the Clutching Hand produced mas
ter key and started to open the door.
But before he did so he took out his
watch.
LET me see," he ruminated. "Twen,
ty minutes past 4. At exactly half
past want you to do as told you

The other crook nodded.
"You may co." ordered the Clutch

Kennedy's brow clouded in deep
thought.
Outside we had left our%taxi waiting.

man, James, was sweeping the rug,
when past him flashed dishevelled
hairy streak.
We were all standing there still as
Craig questioned Jennings about the
armor. With yelp Rusty tore fran
ticaIIy into the room. A moment he
stopped and barked. We all looked at
him in surprise. Then, as no one
moved, he seemed to single out Ken
nedy. He seized Craig's coat IL his
teeth and tried to drag him out.

did not stop to knock, but began to
break through, for inside we could
hear family sounds of excitement and
cries of Police! Police!"

On the other side of that door from

knowing quite what to do.

From the sounds we could tell that

Elaine and the wounded burglar, who
was muttering deliriously to himsels.
He was pretty far gone, as the po-

Down stairs they carried her until
they came to the library with its new

At an early hour an express wagon
stopped before the Dodge house and

We've come for that broken suit of

man.
Jennings let the men in. The armor
was still on the stand and the repair

the purpose. They lifted it up and

Kick the mutt off," growled one
man.
The other did So and Rusty snarled
and snapped at him. Jennings took
him by the collar and held him as the
repairers went out, loaded the armor
on the wagon, and drove off.
Scarcely had they gone, while Jen-
nings Strengthened out the disarranged

about, barking furiously Jennings
looked at him in amazement as the

He had no time to look after the

It was Marie, almost speechless. He
followed her as she led the. way to
Miss Elaine's room. There Marie
pointed mutely to the bed
Elaine was not there.
| There, too were her clothes, neatly
folded, as Marie had hung them fol
her.
Something must have happened tc

Jennings was now thoroughly
alarmed.
Meanwhile the express wagon out

bent down by the door. Inserting the
end under it, he squirted some liquid
through, which vaporized rapidly in a
wide, fine stream OF spray. Before he
could give an alarm Rusty was over
come by the noxious fumes, rolled
over on his back and lay still.
Outside, the other crook was wait
ing, looking at his watch. AS the hand
slowly turned the half-hour he
snapped the watch shut. With quick
glance up and down the deserted
street, he deity started up the rain
pipe that passed near Elaine's win
dow.
This time there was no faithful
Rusty to give warning, and the second
intruder, after glance at Elaine, still
sleeping, went quickly to the door,
dragged the insensible dog out of the
way, turned the key and admitted the

closed the door.
Evidently the fumes had not
reached Elaine, or, if they had, the
thrush of fresh air revived her, for
she walked and quickly reached for
the gun. In an instant the other crook
had leaped at her. Holding his hand
over her mouth to prevent her scream

In the meantime the Clutching Hand
had taken out some chloroform, and,
