Gard took the fragments Of the pic
ture Of the hotel to travellers guide
and searched for the house that would
compare with it. Eventually he found
the duplicate, and it was a Chicago
hostelry. He hurried to 1t. After
showing his credentials to the house
detective, information was freely sup
piled. The room in question was &C.
cupied by a woman and had been so
occupied for two weeks. She was
handsome and stylish red-haired wom-
an of thirty-five. She had been care
fully watched for a reason that pres
emily developed.
HAS she received any callers?"
asked the special agent.
"But one person, a man, has visited
her." answered the house detective.

"A large man with gray hair" said
the house detective. HE is in her
room now"

"Assuredly," was the response,
and they caught the next elevator.

press, going up with the detectives
aboard, slackened its speed at the
eighth floor while its operator gave
some message to the boy on the local

passenger. Ths>,ars were OF an open

was never reported to have been seen
again in Chicago. Nor was Gard able
to get so much as the glinmer of a
trace of him nor a suggestion as to
where he might have gone.
1t was task of infinite patience
that brought Special Agent William H.
Gard to London two months later on
the trail Of a woman whom he had
traced half around the world. The
Titian-haired guest of the Chicago no.
tel, the wife of the fugitive broker,
here installed herself for a while and
lived in a manner that amounted to
absolute seclusion.
Then she went to Paris. There she
took rooms in d quiet side street and
seemed to settle down with some idea
of permanence. There was nothing In
her mode Of life that would indicate
that she lived differently from any
other woman who was alone in the
world and sought quiet. She went out
for long walk every afternoon, pur-
chased the necessities of her establish
ment or books, CT which she seemed
to read great numbers.
Special Agent Gard established a
close watch over the house in which
she lived. This was easy because
there was but a front entrance and
apartments opposite looked out upon
the street He determined that no.
body should enter this house without
being observed He asked the Paris
police to provide him with two re-
liable men who could watch with him
in shifts from the quarters he rented
across the street

lutely nothing. With the exception

upon occasion, someone he can trust
to do little things for him. We may
quarrel with blood relatives all our
lives, but they have the advantage of
being safe to trust in time of trouble.
1t is a very small thing to send man

1t was because of what he here over
heard that Special Agent Gard, assist
ed by Coleman of the Paris office and
the police of that city, considerably
waited until Mrs. Berliner went shop
ping the following day and were ad-
mitted by the woman detective, who
was at the time washing the accumu-
lated dishes of the household. They
SO surrounded the locked door as to
make escape impossible and then an
nounced their presence. Gard told
Berliner, through the locked door, OK
the situation that existed on the out
side. He suggested that the easiest
way was to unbolt the entrance, there
by saving the necessity Of breaking it
down. Whereupon the customs
broker walked out and surrendered,
and a very tedious fugitive case was
brought to a successful conclusion.

the other as they passed. As the ex-
press passed Gard looked through at
those riding on the other car. Imagine
his CONSERVATION when, not two feet
from him, he saw the man for whom
he had been searching for months.
AS he gazed through the checked steel
Stats of the car side he was close
enough to have put out his hand and
laid it on his man had nothing inter-
vened. Berliner faced him and, as
the car paused, he and the special
agent gazed directly into tho eyes Of
each other. This was for but an in
slant and both cars were in motion
again. The detective was being borne
rapidly toward the top Of the building
and the fugitive less rapidly toward
the ground.
There is my man on the other ele-
vator," Gard whispered hurriedly to
the house detective. Have the boy
reverse and run down again.
The message was given to the op-
orator, who obeyed instantly and some
excuse was made to the passengers on
the car. The local had been stopping
at each floor and the express passed
it and barely reached the ground floor
first. There the two detectives stepped
out and waited for the coming of the
other car.
A moment later it arrived, much
crowded, and began to disgorge ITSELF
The two officers waited in instant
readiness to capture the man whom
they had seen at the eighth floor. But
the car was emptied and he was not
among the passengers.
"Where did the big gray-haired man
get OFF," the boy was asked.
"Third floor sir" he replied.
"You bar the exits" Gard said to
the house detective, land will get
back to the third"
On that floor the mailman said that
the white-haired gentleman had run
down the steps to the second. Gard
followed, but was able to find no one
on that floor who had seen the fugi-
tive. He ran hastily about looking
for possible exits, and then instituted
a thorough search. He investigated
every possible avenue of escape and
fastened downstairs to his ally to help
cut off the line Of retreat. Every pos
sible barrier was put up and the house
was we'll gone over. The gray-haired
fugitive had, however, eluded pursuit.
Gard Immediately called upon the
Chicago police to throw out dragnet
and a general alarm, and this was
done. All railway stations were
watched with particular care. None
of which was of any avail, as Berliner

Some men, inf1rm Of purpose wear

NEW FOOTWEAR FOR ARMY
Improved Shoe Model Will Be Hob.
nailed for Service In
Mexico.

The war department appointed q
model embodying the best points OF
all the army shoes, surprising them
IL possible. The shoe which was
adopted was of good materials, well
made on rational last designed by
the department. The interior is per.
fectly smooth, with heel broad and low
and sole moderately thick. The arch
Is flexible and without metal shank or
other stiffening. Eyelets are used
rather than hooks. The shoe reaches
but little above the ankle; 1t is wide
across the ball Of the foot and has a
high toe cap. 1t is comfortable, neat
looking, light in weight and easily re-
moved or put on.
AS soon as the soldiers wear out the
shoes Of the type which they are now
using on the border they will be reflt-
ted with the new type which the gov
eminent has ordered, says writer In

can service because the present type
has not worn well in mountain climb
Ing and has been readily cut up by the
malpais rock in Mexico. The shoe Is
similar to that in use in the Italian
army.
Whether this model will be perma,
nently adopted is open to considerable
doubt. The weight Of the shoes and
the stiffness of the leather used de.
tract from the comfort of 1t. It has
some disadvantages. therefore, but the
severe usage in Mexico made it deslr
able to give this type thorough try
