has sold. A pound of copper that foi- lows this course will, in all probabil- ity, be used as a basis for at least a ? per cent tax paid by the alioyer, and still another tax of at least 4 per cent paid by the intuition manufacturer. I am sure that the committee on ways and means could not have given much study to the effect of this double and triple taxation of copper or certainly they would not have included this form of raising revenue in the bill.
 do not offer this amendment upon the theory that it will confer a special privilege upon the copper producers of my state. but I do insist that they shall not be discriminated against. That is the difference between my amendment and the Hill amendment
 We are all agreed that the muni- tion industry has been enjoying ex- ceptional prosperity and the profits derived therefrcm are therefore a fit object of temporary taxation. We know that this industry has reached it's maximum growth and no one con tends that this unusual tax is expect ed to remain on the statute books for more than a year. Except as to cop per the tax will practically repeal it. self when the shipments of munitions to Europe shall cease. I understand that the committee considers that the necessity for this tax will end when ever the inheritance tax is in full op- eration.
 The production of copper, upon the contrary, is a permanent industry the Prosperity of which is vital to our national welfare. Without asking for or receiving any favoritism by legis- lation, such as a protective tariff or and other special privilege, the out put of copper has steadily and legiti- mately increased until the United States now leads the world in the pro duction of this red metal. without which the present electrical age would be impossible. Why. then, should this, rather than the other metllurgical industries. be especially chosen to contribute to the cause Of national defense at this time?
 It is true that the producers of copper are now enjoying great pros perity. but they have justly earned this reward by passing through a pc riod of depression as the result of embargos and unfriendly legislation like the English orders in council de- claring copper to be contraband. Shortly after the beginning of the Eu- ropean war the production of copper almost ceased, and thousands of min CTS were either thrown out of work or employed on half time at reduced wages.

Bertel's abduction, had been confined
almost solely to stealing valuable
packages from the Transcontinental
Express company. and robbing woman
guests OF costly jewels at notable so
cial functions: which last considera-
tion made it almost certain that some
one or more members of the gang had
entree to the city's most fashionable
circles.
In connection with the fact that all
stolen packages and their contents
were known at the principal Chicago
Office of the company, which was also
sort of auditing Office for the bal
ance of the country, and that the man
ager of the local office, who was also
the son of the companys president,
was leader in the Lake Shore set,
suspicion was directed toward this
young man at an early stage So in
night the fashionable young man,
Harry Butler, was transformed into
thief and fugitive from justice.
The kidnapping Of Helen Bertel by
the six" her rescue by Hazard and
other operatives of the Sutherland De-
tective agency, the sensational escape
of the six" have all been narrated
in a previous story of this series. Suf-
fee it to say that Harry Butler was
disgraced, the gang scattered and for
the time being at least their criminal
activities checked.
However. the Sutherland's re-
sources had been taxed to the utmost
and the officials were not inclined to
let the Tascals continue to defy them
or be able to boast that they had out
witted the worlds chief detective con-
Germ.
Arguing that the dispersed criminals
would endeavor to communicate with
enc another at an early date, a num-
Der of methods, among which was ac-
tive cooperation OF the post Office
authorities, were put in operation to
intercept any messages that might be
interchanged. Every crook hang-out
in the city was closely watched and
suspects were constantly being put
through the ''third-degree
The Six" however, we're cunning
as well as daring, and Hazard intent
ly scanned all issues of the daily
papers for the appearance of a cipher
message of some sort.
Within a very few days his patience
was rewarded by the appearance of
the cipher already Transcribed. This
was rapidly followed by others, all of
which Hazard was confidently were to
be attributed to the Secret Six"
1t behooved him, therefore. to solve
the secret messages as soon as pos
sible. They were desperate and dan

Here is the key" said he. Every
letter inside the square is indicated by
two of the bordering numerals. By
agreement one letter is dropped, in
this case the letter X, which is
represented by two zeros.
ITO manufacture or decipher mes
sage by this key, assuming. let us
say, that the first two words will be
Meet me- the first letter, M, is in
the third vertical column and also the
third horizontal column. The numer-
ais 80, therefore, would indicate the
letter M. In like manner 81 would
be e. % would be t. and so on. The
cipher would appear thus: 33515122-
1851. Note that out of six combina-
lions of two numerals three-one half
are repetitions, 81. or the letter e..
But the authors of our hidden mes
sage have offered us problem that
is far from being so simple as my IL
lustration is. This cryptogram is com
posed of letters instead of numerals
and-please remember this-contains
every letter with three notable excep-
tons. The only letters that don't ap-
pear are A, B, and l. Perhaps those
three exceptions will supply us with
the clue we are seeking.
Let us proceed step farther. By
enlarging our square with the addi-
ton Of one vertical column and one
horizontal column we have thirty-six
smaller squares instead of twenty-five,
thus providing spaces for not only all
the letters of the alphabet but the
nine numerals and the cipher or zero
as well. And instead of numerals
around the borders of the square let
us try the effect of capital letters"
The enlarged key-square appeared

But shortly it began to appear that
big enterprise was being planned
indeed, that it had already been de-
termined upon. There were numerous
references to the coup" and more
than once the name Belle was de-
ciphered.
One of the messages, at last, was
rendered in this fashion:

This cipher appeared on the morn

that if the coup" we're to be check

extras at such an hour could not be
counted on, and if some other me-
dunn was to be used, or the six"
were to attempt a rendezvous, Felix
Hazard was one who was very anxious
to know all about it.
A few minutes reflection brought
sly smile to his lean, hawklike
countenance. He hastily sketched a
key-square and set himself to- the
task of preparing cipher message
on his own account. He felt safe in
doing this. for only rarely was any
of the messages signed.
That afternoon certain newspaper
contained among it's personals a
cryptogram which, rendered into
plain English, read:
fam being Swallowed. Instruct in

And the fish rose promptly to the
bait. The very next morning a long
cipher appeared in the columns of an
other newspaper, which. owing to it's
length and numerous typographical

gerous and there was no knowing
what mischievous or damaging under
taking they might be planning to in
fiict upon the community.
Among the very latest and most au-
dacious exploits of the Secret Six"
was the theft of the Charters $4,000
diamond dog-collar. This desperate
enterprise Helen Bertel came within
an ace of witnessing, while one of the
Sutherland operatives only narrowly
escaped with his life.
With this explanation, the cipher,
as it begins to appear, becomes at
once full of meaning and confirms all
of Hazards theories respecting it.
The first two letters of the cipher
message, interpreted by aid of the re-
solved key-square, gave this result:
GU equals C. And so with the balance

Nov observe pursued Hazard
"The capital letters around the border
take the place of numerals and will
supply the cipher letters. Further
more. by extending the letters entirely
around the border, as l have here,
there are eight possible different COM
binations of two capital or cipher let
tiers to designate any desired letter
or numeral inside the key-square. For
instance, suppose you want to indicate
the letter e., which is in the first
horizontal column and the fifth YER
teal column. The small square pro-
duced by this intersection is indicated
by Q at the top and s at the right
QS, which is the letter e. In like
manner S at the right and B at the
bottom, or B at the bottom and L at
the left, or l. and Q all designate e.
Proceed around the key-square in the
reverse direction and four more diff
ferent combinations will all indicate
cas-: OIL LIB BIS SO. Yet this is
no more difficult to read with the key
than the simpler numeral form.
The possibilities inherent in this
extension and elaboration of the key
square system are almost endless in
their variety Any arrangement of
the alphabet may be made inside the
square, and around the border the
capital or cipher letters need follow
no sequence or any special order. But
the result will always be tie same
eight possible combinations to desig-
nate any desired letter, with this ire
mendous disadvantage for any one try
ing to read the message without the
key-that is to say, in message Of
ordinary length the most common let
tiers and words need never be re-
peated!"
Helen made a despairing gesture.
Whats the use!" she exclaimed.
We'll, let's see If it's any use. There
are four clues in this cipher which
promise that the task of solving it is
not altogether hopeless.
Have you counted the characters in
our cryptogram? No? Well. there
are 1913 of them. In that number it is
bit singular, and not without cause,
that three of the commoner letters of
the alphabet are entirely missing-A,
B and |.
There! Those letters are three
