ing"
"All right" Burns shrugged his
shoulders doubtfully. "You dope things
out pretty well, Chris, but l haven't
much faith in your clue this time. It
leaves too much to chance"
Burns and Poe started in a taxi for
Coney Island at once, leaving Mitchell
behind.
Arrived at the famous resort, the
taxi lodged in and out among the
crowding vehicles, and finally came
to a quivering halt before the central
police station. Leaving Burns out
side, Poe hurried in, and was at once
admitted to the Captain of the dis
trict. under the name of Hardy. By
showing credentials from the Bank
ers' Protective Association Poe gained
the Captains interest, and quickly ex-
planned about the counterfeit five-dol-
lar bills.
We've had several complaints of
them the last few days." answered the
Captain. They've been in circulation
a couple of weeks, guess, but nobody
detected them till the banks finally got
wise. Best counterfeit | ever saw.
Frankly, l can't tell them from the
genuine. except when somebody points
out the fact that the jaw on the por-
trait of Jackson is bit too long"
Poe plunged at once into the pur-
pose of his visit.
VIII you kindly give me what rec
ords you have of East Indian jugglers
IN shows here, preferably those man
aged by Englishmen?"
The Captain turned to a directory
and skinned through it.
There's lots of East Indian troupes
this year." he said. Here are some
addresses. But you don't suspect those
fellows, do you?"
Not exactly" was the reply, as
Poe rapidly copied down the names
and addresses. Many occupations
were included in the list; some we're
Jugglers, others fortune-tellers, dane
ers, dervishes, snake charmers, and
magicians. The whole list was quite
long and the Captain could offer but
little information concerning the man
agement of the Indian performers.
Thanking the officer for his cour-
tesy, Poe left at once, pulled Burns
into the vestibule of the building, tore
the list of names in half, and asked:
Have you much money with you?"
About fifty dollars, l guess" an

Without word Poe darted out OF
the building, and threw himself into
the tangle of merry-makers in the
street. It was a gay night at Coney.
and with difficulty Poe made speed to
the address on Surf Avenue.
There he found roomy lodging
above a moving picture show, and ask
ed for the proprietor. one Of the two
managers of East India shows he had
picked out to call upon.
He received information that the
man was not in and wouldn't he until
the next day. Somewhat disappoint-
ed. Poe walked slowly down the steps
and stood for a moment in the curb.
Then he glanced at the card. The
other name and address was:

Deep, cynical wrinkles between nose
and mouth formed unconsciously; he
drew his broad-brimmed straw hat
close over his eyes, and turned quickly
into the Bowery.
At number Is Christopher Poe found
a big gay music-hall, with the stereo-
typed dancing and singing girls. On

then he walked into the cafe, and
seated himself at table 1t was a

Having taken a sip of the tasteless
beer placed before him, Poe slipped
from his chair. and walked through
one of the side doors, ascending a
narrow flight of stairs.
At the top was big door, closed.
Poe stepped up, and knocked on it. A
full minute he waited, vaguely con-
scious of the fact that unseen eyes
were peering at him from somewhere
near by.

show. If you stumble onto any bunch
OF East Indians with an English man
ager, take his name and address. Then
meet me here at exactly nine o'clock.
All right" answered Burns blankly,
but he was too well acquainted with
Poe's methods to ask useless ques-
tions
Poe began at once his circuit of the
shows employing East Indians. He
paid everywhere with a ten or twenty
dollar bill, and always stuffed the
notes he received in change into a
separate pocket, without more than
glancing at them. At each show he
inquired the name of the manager, and
secured several addresses.
Finally, having found nothing of i'm
mediate interest, and it being almost
time to rejoin Burns, he slipped back
to the police-station, and, picking out
a vacant corner in the vestibule, turn
ed his back to the door, rapidly thumb
ing over the collection of bills he had
received in change. There were nine
five-dollar bills in the lot To his
great satisfaction, on examining Presi-
dent Jacksons jaw on each he found
that six were identical with the coun-
terfeit bills he had studied all after
noon.
Burns came shortly, with six five
dollar bills, received in change at East
India shows; two Of them were coun-
terfeits.
Christopher Poe put the false money
away carefully and stood for a mo-
ment, thoughtfully running his thin
hand through his damp brown hair;
the corners of his mouth twitched, and
two deep wrinkles appeared, joining
the lips to the nostrils in heavy fur
rows.
How many managers did you un-
earth?" he asked Burns abruptly.
"Only two," was the reply.
Poe took the names and addresses,
compared them quickly with the sew
eral he had procured. and then, his
eyes lighting up strangely, remarked:
"You stay here; if I'm not back in
one hour, get the Police Captain to
give you eight officers and come at
once to these two addresses. It's evil

than the porch party that Mrs. ]. B.

and conferred with the big birthday
cake, was placed on the porch, which
presented pretty scene with the

mer gowns and the boys who were
also guests at this happy afternoon
affair. Mrs. James F. Phillips told
some of her delightful stories. Miss

CAPTAIN AND MRS. BRISTOL
IN TALLULAH.

The arrival of Captain and Mrs.
Mark L. Bristol of Washington, D. G.
in the picturesque little mountain vii
lage of Tallulah was the occasion of
pleasant excitement and interest to
the villagers and summer visitors,
They are guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Rit-
tenhouse Moore at their attractive
summer home, says the Atlanta Jour
nal of Sunday.
Mrs. Bristol will be remembered by
her many friends and admirers as the
beautiful Helen Moore of Mobile. Cap
tain Bristol, director of the naval
aeronautics of the United States, is
prominent in naval circles, having
charge of the flying school at the PEN
sacola navy yard, and the North Car
Dina battleship used for experimental
purposes. From China, where he was
in command of the Monterey and Al
bany, he was recalled to his native
country for service.
The pleasant excitement created by
their visit to Tallulah was added to
by the four Pekinese pugs brought
with them. 1t was the very first time
that Tallulah had been honored by d
visit from dogs of royal birth, the
mother of these wonderful dogs be-
ing the property of the empress dowa-
ger, and having come from the royal
palace in Pekin. These dogs, four in
number, with coal black and curly
hair, beautiful and bright dog faces
are rare and valuable. They were
carefully shipped in baskets from
Washington City, and at the station
tenderly and carefully Embossed, each
one led by long bright chain and
as we'll looked after as though they
had been children.
The Chinese names of these dis
tinguished dogs are as attractive as
is their indivuality. The royaI
mother, "Hai-Lung-tai-Lai,Y which
is interpreted "The Black Dragons
Wife" must be beauty if we may
Judge by her defendants; "Hai-Lung'

WOMEN AND GOOD
ROADS.

Of equal importance with health,
social intercourse, and the provisions
for the physical needs of the family
is the question of education for the
children. The connection between the
condition of the roads and the con-
dition of the local schools, is close
and obvious, and one of the most
potent causes of the general exodus
from the country to the town. In all
of our cities, the schools are easily
accessible over good pavements every
day in the. school year. In many of
our cities the advantages offered to
the children in the schools and city
Fairgrounds, are such as were I'M
known anywhere to the older genera
ton and are now undreamed of for
almost all of the country districts
These advantages include manual and
vocational training; clinics for the de-
fective: special classes for the incor-
rigible; free or cost price luncheons
doctoring, dentistry, and the care OF
trained nurses. Contrast the lot OF
the city and the country child, the lat
ter trudging over rough and muddy
roads to the little one room, noisy, il
ventilated school; arriving half frozer
and with wet feet, to receive, perhaps
twenty minutes of individual atten

temptation Of pleasing herself.

VSAhPIdtlOn OF pleasing herSen.
When a young woman chooses an
abundance of clothes which foot up
to extravaganza, she often falls into
an error which is too deep to extri-
cate herself from. There is nothing
more pitiful, she has been obliged to
hear, than that 'twilful waste makes
woeful want" Yielding at first limo
Gently to the influence of beauteous
adornment, the mind revels in an at
mosphere of coquetry which comes to
the dashing, Incorporating soon or
late. Few if any, genteel, nice girls
are blind to the fact that they must
look their best in any gathering when
they appear if they must vie success
fully with others of the fair sex.
She Is single, and why should she
not have female preference shown her
if she but carries out her liking. A
woman is fair to look upon if she
gets herself up attractively, in the
latest mode, for eyes to rest upon.
Sentiment influences clothes. The girl
who has no beau is apt to be very
careless as to how she looks. IF the
collar underneath her cloak is likely
to be past its first freshness she
doesn't bother. There's no one to see.
Why should she bother putting on a
clean prettier one. There's no one
who cares.
The girl who has INDUCED in van
tiles at any corner she turns and who
is liable to walk home with her is al
ways careful of her raiment. She
would sit up till midnight pressing
out and sewing in new lace frill.
She must have fine clothes no matter
how she may have to count her pen
MES to buy remnants to freshen up
her last years Unlocking house gown.
She must have a certain amount of
pocket money to treat desirable girl
friend to box of bonbons if she has q
bachelor brother who is good catch ?
Economical as her mother is, she
would hold up her hands in amaze
nent if the father refused the beauti-
full striving daughter any such neces-
stiles and appeals. She insists upon
their giving way to their girls graft
fication at all odds, barking on the
plea that new clothes give self-confi-
dence and will serve handsomely to
their marrying some day. She whis-
pers that their burden will be lifted
to some young manly shoulders.
The girl who has INDUCED in varie-
ties marries. She continues in the
way she has been brought up to crave
fnery, even when facing the dire pos
sibility of using up the largest part
of their early income. IF the husband
reminds her how wrong and foolish
extravaganza is, he is bound to yield
to his wife's wishes for peace's sake.
There is nothing more pitiful, on
the other hand, than wife who is
kept down, whose clothes are so shah
by that she cannot help being
ashamed to show herself before
friends or even neighbors. She knows
too well what the influence of clothes
is. It's Sgainst nature for her hus-
band to expect such a wife to be sweet
and worshipful. The fretful, irritable
wife, who receives a fair considera-
ton of clothes for which she hopes
as well as love will be found most
truly happy at heart, due to the
change.

(Written For The Journal9

Y
Many, and many, long, long day,
While you are away from home,
Many time you would like to say,
Never again will I roam.
Home is the only place in life,
Where happiness dwells for thee,
a dear little babe, and loving wife,
That is the place for me.
Home is a Harbor as troubles, and
JOY,
Always its just what you make it,
Built like the plans of delicate toy,
Handle with care or YOU break it,
It only takes a gentle word,
To cheer up heart that is sad,
Let troubles take shape like the wings
of bird
And try to make every one glad.
