CHAPTER V.
fIethods of m. Lefevre.

On the day following the arrival of
the Richelieu, Mr.. Germaine, manag-
ing director of the Transatlantic Line,
sat in his private office in lower
Broadway, smoking his after-break-
fast cigar.
lie had pressed button few min
utes before, and presently there came
into the room tall, heavily built
young man, whose clear eyes and
ruddy complexion spoke of an active
outdoor life.
"Sit down, Barnes" said Mr.. Ger
maine, in rather patronizing voice.
~ called you in to speak OF the sad
Affair of the Richelieu's purser, Mr..
Vernon. AS our chief detective,
thought that possibly you might have
something of interest to tell us about
the matter" ~ n
II have given it some thought" re-
marked Barnes noncommittally.
"And no doubt you have made some
Investigations aboard the vessel?"
"Yes. There was not much to find
out. Poor Vernon fell into the hatch
way that's clear enough. Why he
had Mr.. Morris's package in his
pocket / can't say. II you want my

compared to him. consider that we
matter in such unusually competent
hands"
The prefect entered the automobile
which stood at the entrance of the
building, a broad smile upon his
genial face. In the waiting machine
was Grace Duvall.
M. Lefevre's account OF his inter-
view with the managing director of
the Transatlantic Line, and of his
conversation with Barnes, seemed to
cause her much amusement At its
conclusion she threw herself back in
her seat and burst out laughing.
"You are a remarkable man, M.
Lefevre," she said. Richard is a
mere amateur beside you"
Upon their arrival at the hotel the
prefect was informed that Captain
Wood, of the New York detective
force, wished to see him. NJ. Le-
fevre received him in the parlor of
his suite. He was a keen-looking,
heavily built man, slightly passed mid
die age. with a reddish-brown mus
tache.
what can do for you, monsieur?"
the prefect inquired affably. You
have, perhaps, found this man Hart
mann, the perpetrator of this brutal
outrage"
mo-" the captain replied, I'VE
haven't got him yet. AS a matter of
fact, We can't just figure this thing
out You, am informed by the clerk
| 1T the hotel, examined the mans room
shortly after his death. Who was the
man that was murdered at the Hotel
Rochambeau, and why was he killed?
That's the first thing to determine.
At present we can see no motive but
robbery. His watch and money were
missing"
"To your FIRST question, monsieur,
I will tell you this. The man was a
Belgian, a physician practising among
the poorest classes in Paris. His name
was Victor Reinhardt. He formerly
wore pointed red beard, but recently
shaved it off. You, of course, know
that he arrived here yesterday, with
his companion, on the Richelieu."
"Yes. We know that. So he YVES
doctor, eh? And who was his COM
panion, the fellow with the rheuma-
| tism?"
"That l am unable to tell you"
Have you any idea of the motive
| for the crime?"
"Yes. 1t is my opinion that Hart
mann killed his companion in a
| quarrel over franc which they had
| jointly stolen.'
"a franc? You mean q one-franc
piece?"
Exactly"

WHY OIL cALMS ANGRY SEAS
It Prevents Wind-driven RippIes From
Pilinq Up.

fHln9 Up.
Waves in mid-ocean are caused en-
tirely by the action of the wind. The
adhesion between the rapidly moving
particles of air which compose the
wind and the surface particles of the
water causes the waters surface to
be dragged along with the air. Small
ripples are Immediately formed. These
rippleS soon oyertake others near
them. They unite, and due to the
friction between the water particles.
each succeeding ripple piles up on the
top of previous ones.
Just as soon as oil is spread upon
the water, however, the size Of the
waves i reduced like magic. The
reason for this is interesting. Oil, I'M
like water, has very little internal
friction between its particles. The
ripples of oil formed by the wind,
therefore, cannot pile upon each other
to any considerable height.
Hence, water waves cannot grow in
an area of Oil placed about steamer.
They begin to fall down instead. By
the time these waves reach the boat
they will have lost their formative rip
pies and the result is perfectly calm
surface over the portion of the sea
thru which the boat is making its way.

PREPARE TO REGISTER
FOR DRAFT PURPOSES

A census taken in this state
by the adjutant generals depart
ment shows there are 32,59O men
subject to draft in the unmarried
class between the ages of i8 and
80 years. Idaho's quota under
the draft bills in the original call
for 100000 men will be one to
every 20, or approximately 1850
exclusive of the members of the
National Guard who are now in
the Federal service. The strength
of the Idaho National Guard to-
day actually under orders is 1000
officers and enlisted men.

PLAN CELEBRATION
FOR THE FOURTH

The business men of the city
are beginning to lay their plans
for holding a celebration the
Fourth Of July. The plans have
not as yet taken any very definite
shape except as to the bare fact
shat a celebration will be held
here. For the last four years st.
Maries has had no celebration but
has given way to the neighbOring
towns, and the people generally
feel that it is our turn this year.
The matter will be taken up by
the Benewah Club very soon and
the nature Of the celebration will
be decided upon and the commit
tees named. 1t is hoped to get
Plummer, Fernwood and st. Joe
to unite with us and make the
celebration more than a mere To-
cal affair

New Officers
Assume Duties
FIRST MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Retain Old Police FOrCe---C Consolidate Offices Of
Water Commissioner and Street Commissioner

Mayor j. c.. Hunt and the bal
ance of the newly elected officers
were sworn in Tuesday and as
sumed the duties of their offices.
A short meeting of the city coun-
ell was held and temporary ar
rangements in regard to the ap-
pointive officers were made.
1t was decided to consolidate
the offices of street commission
er under the name of overseer of
streets and Jerry McCarter who
was water commissioner under
the last administration was
agreed upon to fill the office.
The consolidation of the two Off
ces as we'll as fixing the salary
for the same will have to be done
by ordinance and will be done at
the next meeting which will be
held Monday evening, until which
time McCarter will perform the
duties of both offices.
1t was decided to retain the
present police force at least for
the present. The salaries of the
appointed officers we're fixed by
the last council but it is thought
that by doing away with one of the
offices it Will be possible to give
the policemen AMI the overseer of
streets an increase from the
amount paid last year.
The offices of city attorney
and treasurer were mentioned but
Mayor Hunt stated that he was
not ready to make the appoint
ment at That time but would have
them ready by the next meeting
Another matter that was left for
