"Ah, you Americans!" de MOrbihan
sighed. "You fill us with envy-you

of princes!"
But we must come to Paris to find
beautiful things for our womenfolk!

"You might attract the attention OF
the Lone Wolf They say he's on the
prowl once more"
The American laughed a trace con-
temptuously. Lanyards fingers tight
ened on his knife and fork; otherwise
he made no sign. A sidelong glance
into a mirror at his elbow showed
Roddy still absorbed in the Daily Mail.
The girl bent forward with look
of eager interest
"The Lone Wolf? Who is that?"
"You don't know him in America,

anything definite about him, apparent

The girl breathed an incredulous ex-
clamation.
"But I assure you!" De Morbihan
protested. 1.-THE rogue has had a Won
derfully successful career, thanks to
his dispensing with confederates and
combining his depredations to jewels
and similar valuables-portable and

"You don't tell mel" the older man
exclaimed. Have they picked up the
scent-at last?'
''The man is known" De Morbihan
affirmed.
BY now the conversation had caught
the interest of several lettering wait
ers, who were listening open-mouth-
ed and even Roddy seemed a bit
startled, and for once forgot to make
business with his newspaper, but his
wondering stare was exclusively for
De Morbihan.
Lanyard put down knife and fork,
swallowed a final mOuthful of Haul
Brion, and lighted cigarette with the
hand of a man who knew not the
meaning of nerves.
"Garcon!" he called quietly, and or
dered coffee and cigars, with a liqueur
to follow.
"Known!" the American exclaimed.
They've caught him, eh?"

laughed: "but the mystery is no more

His shrug suggested that, as far as
he was concerned, walters were not
humen and the other guests of the
establishment nonresident.

Many a man claims to be nervous

To a good woman lovers jeaI-

It is jealousy in women that makes

Ole Peterson, nominee for sheriff of
Polk county, ran so fast in the primar-
les that he ran down a timber wolf.
He was touring the county in small
automobile when he spied the wolf
near Lorrain trotting along ahead of
his car. Peterson stopped the car to
look at the wolf. The animal then
took to the woods but when Peter
son got in his car again, came out and
trotted ahead. eff you want a race
thought Peterson, "I'll give it to you,'
and he opened up the throttle and
geered full ahead. The wolf seeing
he had met something that could run
about as fast as he could, turned to
leave the road when Ole gave the car
a quick turn to the left and ran both
wheels over him. Jumping out Of the
car he quickly seized two stones and
relieved his victim of the agony suf-
fered by the wheels passing over him.
The wolf was soon taking his first
ride in a car as Ole made his way to
hunt up the town officials where the
proper papers were made out and Ole
found himself $40 to the good.
