ruined financially by The Secret Seven
because lie dared to be the Knight En-
rant for Beverly.
Who was DR.. Zulph? Who was Jane
Warren. the frightened creature OF
Zulph? And who was The Great
Master?
The paper which Wee See delivered
to The Great Master and which the
leader of The Secret Seven priced so
highly originally was i'll the possession
of old Thomas Clarke. ON one side of
it was a map of gold mine in the
klondike. How was it of such i'm
mense importance to Beverly Clarke
Strong, Zulph and The Great Master?
Strong, battling for Beverly, never
had realized its true meaning, but Rod
man Sears, the Sherlock Holmes of
New York" did. Partly by means of
that slip he was planning to capture
the slayer of Detective Ackerton, the
| chief clew to whose identity rested on
the knowledge that one of his fingers
was missing.
We're getting close to the pack Of
wolves" said Sears to his assistant,
/ Cochran. as. at the head of a squad of
| policemen, they hurried to the Clarke
mansion on the evening that Strong,
! his sweetheart and her mother were
/ being besieged there. Sears and Coch-
ran remained outside the house while
uniformed policemen entered and cap
tured the thugs. Then Sears deputized
/ Strong TO do some detective work in
trailing the mysterious Secret Seven.
Strong and Sears were discussing a
plan of action in the detectives office
when the telephone bell rang. Sears
answered it and winked knowingly al
Strong when he recognized the voice
of The Great Master.
"That you. Searst' called the leader
Of The Secret Seven. well, the plan
worked. Wee See came here with tha
. paper containing the map of the Klon
=, dixie mine l had him drop it so DR.
Zulph would see him. Zulph picked j
mp and seemed very much excited
What do you suppose he wanted will
E that paper? Why was he so all fret
anxious to get hold of it?'
"All of that will come out in goot
time" replied Sears.
: "Do you know who that was?' tn,
! detective asked Strong after hanging
. up the telephone. 1T was the leade

of the band that has been kidnapping
Beverly Clarke and trying to kill you"
What cried Strong, his eyes blaz-
ing. And are you playing in with
him."
NO; he's playing in with me, or,
rather, he thinks he is" was the reply.
There was something human about
The Great Master that seemed to set
him apart from the other conspirators
of The Secret Seven. He was Grim
inal who was a dreamer, a man Of
romance. After talking to Carson he
leaned back from his desk and indulg
ed in retrospect lie saw himself as
worker in the IXlondike, where he had
known Zulph. He was leaving his
cabin, and his young wife and their
child were bidding him goodby. lie
handed her paper Perhaps Zulph's
cupidity on the day of the retrospect
revived the incident in his mind. The
child eagerly seized it. And there the
retrospect ended.
Zulph, clutching the paper which
Wee See had dropped, was beginning

ward two folding doors, opened them,
/ and before him stood the dead wife of
/ The Great Master, His face became

himself together, and the vision van

ting his hands over his eyes. but his

past. and he saw himself and Jane
Warren standing with the girl wife
! Well he thought, he needed a rest
There was only one woman in the

love and then begin life anew in an
other country.
Encouraged by this plan, he got VI

The Sissy.

Dear Uncle Jed: At school Boo was a naughty boy. He put chewing gum in little boys curls and then put ink on them. and called him Sissy, too.
 The little boys mother went over to Bob's house on Saturday morning and told Bob's mother what Bob had dane.
 Bob's mother told Bob he would have to dress up like a girl and do q sarTs work for one week.
 Then Bob was sullen. When his mother told him to wipe the dishes he was so angry that he broke three dishes; and when his mother told him to sweep the floor he made so much dust his mother had to open all the windows, and when the boys wSnt by they peeped in at the windows and said Hello! Sissy"
 That made him mad and he would not speak to thsm for a week. But h4 did not call the little boy Sissy any more.

THOMAS.

By LoUELLA c. POOLE. A cozy nook behind the FanZe. Good food a-plenty. was it strange That he was sleek and fat = For Bridget was a kindly soul. Soft was his bed. well filled his bowl; He was happy cat. Most dignifed and neat was he; With pride quite beautiful to see He took the greatest care Of his white vest. his velvet toes, His bristling. curved moustachios- We'll groomed each shining hair. But, oh, alas, one in-starred day And twas not long before The family on pleasure bent. Away in whir1ing autos went
 To summer at the shore. Barred was each window. locked each
 door.
 All desolation where before
 Had home and plenty been! And tuckIess Thomas. left behind, Could neither food nor shelter find; He grew wild. gaunt. and thin. His once sleek coat all burrs and dust. A meager bone or dirty crust
 Comprised his scanty fare: Consqmsd by thirst. mere ghost was Of the fine cat he used to be-
 He looked like grim despair. One day. in a vain hunt for food, With hunger mad he dared intrude Inside a hostile door; 4 flying missile struck his head; Dazed, bleeding, down the street he
 feed,
 Deaf to it's din and roar. There bowled along a numbering van. Beneath it's wheels he blindly ran.
 As down the hill it sped; Poor hunted vagrant of the street. His little heart had ceased to beat.
 All limp he lay. and dead. Alas that human thoughtlessness Should bring such misery and dis
 tress
 Such suffering as that Poor Thomas knew. bereft of home, And left ~upon the streets to roam.
 A starved, abandoned cat,
