No Reports Made to President.

None of the Secretaries named has
yet made a report to the President on
the subject, but will do SO within a few
days. Chief Clerk Davis of the State
Department has made a report to Sec
retary Lansing in favor of the Satur-
day halliday holiday all the year
round, and most of the bureau chiefs
of the War Department are said to
have submitted reports taking a SIM
liar position.
None of the bureau chiefs of the
Navy Department has yet reported on
the subject 1t is understood that
most of them feel that as the en-
ployes of that department do a great
deal of extra work during the other
days of the week it is only right that
they should have the full benefit of
the legal halliday holiday in the Dis
trict.
Absence from town on the part of the
Secretaries or the pressure of busi-
ness We're the reasons voiced at the
Departments of the Treasury, Post

Extension of Saturday Privi-
lege Regarded Practicable
I by Department Heads.

While several of the cabinet members
are on record as favoring the PROPOSAL
to have a Saturday half holiday for
government clerks extended through
the entire year, the final action in this
matter is delayed by the absence OF
several of the department heads from
this city.
Practically all of these, however, are
said to be decidedly in favor of eX-
tending the half-holiday regime IN
their absence the assistant secretaries
are receiving and holding under ad-
visement the reports from bureau
chiefs regarding the feasibility and
advantages of the year-round half
holiday.
These will be submitted to the sec
retaries as soon as they return 10

q position to make a prompt response
to the inquiry of President Wilson as

.@ "You can't. Be honest with me, Mr.
Lanyard. 1t was an offer to let you of
if you'd give me up to Bannon-wasn'
it,"
Something like that" he assented a
bit sheepishly-"too absurd for con-

out of this before they find way in.
Not that they're likely to risk raiding
US until they've tried starving us out,
but it would be as we'll to put a good
distance between us before they find
out we've decamped."

rowed raincoat, buttoned it to his chin,
and turned down the brim of his soft
felt hat; but when he looked up at the

SKUNK KNOWS NO FEAR
LITTLE ANIMAL is WELL ABLE TO
PROTECT ITSELF.
Picks No Quarrels, but Decidedly
Never Goes Out Of Its Way to
Avoid Them-FormidabIe
Weapon Of Defense.

The skunk is not only one OF the
handsomest of American "varmints,"
he is also the boldest. He 3 the beau
sabreur. the Cyrano, the insouciant,
devil-may-care adventurer. Confident
in his powers of offense and defense
he goes carelessly about his way, ask
ing only to be- let alone. He is not
looking for trouble, neither is he
avoiding it
Encounter him about shutdown on
country road and he will let you alone.
If you do not crowd him. Perhaps
he will hop along in your pathway,
keeping just far enough ahead tor
your common convenience. If you are
acquainted with his little peculiari-
ties, you will permit him to set the
pace. If you are not acquainted with
.them--if, perchance, you think he is
a pretty, black-and-white, kittenish lit
tie thing. and if, SO thinking, you rush
up and try to make capture, disil-
lusionment will soon be your portion.
For when you are at just the right dis
lance he will give his white-tipped tail
a quick flirt in your general direction.
You will then pause. You will sud-
denly have lost all inclination to ad-
vance. Probably you will be nause-
aled, possibly half-choked and half
blinded. All the Arabic perfumes nee
essary to purify Lady Macbeth's little
hand wouldn't purify your apparel in
a year. You are likely to feel long
ing to hide from your fellow man for
some time to come. Your fellow man
is likely to reciprocate the feeling
with usury. You have committed a
gross indiscretion, a great strategic
blunder, and you will have to pay the
price. But you have added to your
stock of knowledge. Never again will
you try to kick any little polecat
around. Z
The oil he employs with such effec-
tiveness is yellow, clear liquid, slight
ly phosphorescent, SO as to be family
visible at night. 1t is acid and is
virtually acrid when it falls upon any
tender living tissue. 1t is extremely
volatile, and tiny drop is sufficient
to fill all the surrounding atmosphere
with the offensive odor. When in
hailed in large quantities it is suffo-
eating, sometimes producing uncon-
seriousness and even death.
The liquid is distilled within the
body and is carried through long
tubes to two small capsules imbedded
in the thick muscles at the root Of
the tail. The animal can discharge
either or both capsules at will, and
his aim is astonishingly accurate. One
would never think it, but he is very
misery with this fluid. He will not
waste it, and will even try all kinds
of bluffs to avoid using it. With ami
mails anywhere near his OWE size the
skunk prefers to fight with tooth and
claw. The conclusion, when one is in
the neighborhood of skunk's recent
operations, that he has fired all the
oil in the universe, is premature. 1t
smells that way, however, and this
is a pardonable error.

CHAPTER XVII.
"For That's lmpossibIe."

"For That's impossible"
Like a blow from an unseen hand
the shock of that alarm drove the girl
and for moment held her there trans
fixed in panic.
To her wide, staring eyes that ques-
toned his so urgently Lanyard prompt
ly nodded grave reinsurance. He
hadn't stirred after his first involun-
tary start, and before the last frag-
ment of splintered glass had fallen
tinkling to the floor above, he was
calming her in the most matter-of-fact
tones.
Don't be alarmed" he said. Its

But call that nothing!" she cried

lily. II might have known it-that
wide spread of glass, with the studio
electrics full ablaze below, would give
the show away completely. The house
is known to be unoccupied, and it
wasn't to be expected that both the
police and Popinot's crew would over
look so shining mark. And it's all
my fault, my oversight. I should have
warned you about the lights! High
time l was quitting a game I've no
longer the wit to play by the rules!"
"But the police would never"
Certainly not. This is merely Popi-
not's gentle method of informing us
he's on the job. But I'll just have a
look to make sure. No-stop where
you are, please. I'd rather go alone"
He swung alertly through to the re-
ception hall window, pausing there
only long enough for an instantaneous
reconnaissance through the draperies
"a fugitive survey that discovered the
Impasse Stanislas no more abandoned
to the wind and rain, but tenanted
visibly by one, at least, who lounged

unsaid, all that should not have said.
After all, what earthly difference can
it make to you If one thief more de-
cides suddenly to reform?"
That brought her abruptly to her
feet, showing him face of glowing
loneliness, with eyes distractingly
dimmed and softened.
"No!" she implored breathlessly.
"Please, you mustn't spoil it.! You've
paid me the finest of compliments, and
one I'm glad and grateful for-and
would l might think deserved! You
say you need year to prove yourself?
Then-1've no right to say this-and
you must please not ask me what I
mean-then I grant you that year. A
year I shall wait to hear from you
from the day we part, here in Paris.
And tonight l will go with you, too,
and gladly, since you wish me to-"
And then as he, having risen, stood
at loss, thrilled and incredulous, with
q brave and generous gesture she Of
fered him her hand, across the table
wherein still rested the spoils Of his
final coup. I. s.s 's%s21'ss i; Il 4
"Mr. Lanyard, I promise"
To every woman, even the least love
~, her hour Of beauty-it had not en-
tered I.anyard's mind to think this
woman beautiful until that moment.
OF her exotic charm, of the allure Of
her pensive, wistful prettiness, he had
been we'll aware, even as he had been
unable to deny to himself that he was
all for her, that he loved her with all
the strength that was his; but not till
now had he understood that she was
the one woman whose loneliness to
him would dim the beauty Of all other
women.
And for a little, while he held her
hand tremulous upon his finger-tips, as
though he feared to bruise it with
ruder contact, he could not take his
eyes from her.
Then reverently he bowed his head
and touched his lips to that hand-and
felt it snatched swiftly away, and start
ed back, aghast, the idyl roughly dissi-
pated, the castle of his dreams tum-
bling in thunders round his ears.
In the studio skylight overhead
pane of glass had fallen in with shat
tering crash as ominous as the trump.
