grinning broadly.
Lydia gathered an impression that
the Dowager Dragon had found foe

on to Section M and Betty Merrilees.

"Thanks, Mrs. Merrilees." The in
spector looked up from her declara-

official imperturbability; then his eyes
twinkled in a network Of wrinkles.
His lips twitched, and he grinned out
right.

1t became Immediately apparent
that the man wasn't disposed to doubt
the sincerity of her conversation. The
luggage she had indicated as innocent
of dutiable goods he passed with the
most perfunctory examination, While
the millinery and other declared pur-
chases detained him only briefly.
"Everything is quite O. X. thanks

The box was already unlocked. Mrs.
Merrilees promptly removed the leath-

the inspector.
Touching the spring, he let the lid
fly up, exposing the pearl collar. AS
if dazzled, he blihked furiously. "She's

"Finest piece of the sort that's come

Nh REAL BRITISH MOBILITY"
Mo Member of the English Peeraae,
With Few Exceptions, Can Give
Proof of Ancient Lineage.

Tn England the Saxon "thane" was
transformed, after the Norman con-
quest. into a "baron" unless the doml-
nant power entirely deprived MIN Oh
his position as nobleman. 1t IS
POSSIBLE that many thames were ap-
sorbed in the English yeomanry. In
France and Germany the prefix de"
and "von," which are essentially To-
cal. designated noble rank. Even IN
poor old Ireland, where nearly every
man boasts of his descent from KINGS
90" and MAC" are aristocratic SYM
bols, although many Irishmen OF today
have for one reason or another discard
ed the prefix. But in England the GUS
tom has died out.
The wearing of coat armor was TOT
centuries a badge of nobility, but the
right to wear coat armor was grant
ed so lavishly that the members OF
the English peerage can, with few ex-
ceptions, give no proof of any ancient
lineage. There is, in fact, no real
mobility" in England In the sense
in which the word is used In conti-
mental Europe. 1t is a curious cir
cumstance that many real gentlemen"
in the heraldic sense of that unfortu-
nate word, have never worn coat armor
at all and were neither deslrous nor
competent to exhibit a coat-of-arms to
the persons who attach value to SUCH
an empty possession. Heralds have
failed to establish any mans right to
call himself a gentleman" and the
majority of genealogies given Tor tne
British mobility" and gentry" are In
all probability mythical or, In the
American vernacular, flakes"

A Maniac in the Trench.


An officer writes about an incident
which is probably one of the most
gruesome that has been recorded OF
life in trenches:
One night as working party I'm"
der Lieutenant Rathbone was proceeds
ing down q communication trench, they
were fred upon from close quarters.
On inquiry Lieutenant Rathbone as
certained that the shots came from
soldier who had run amuck, and had
posted himself with loaded rifle and
fixed bayonet farther down the trench.
lieutenant Rathbone borrowed rifle,
and, accompanied by Corporal Field"
wick, advanced along the trench until
IN view of the mentally deranged man..
They then advanced with rifles at the
ready: the officer calling upon the man
TO surrender. Receiving no reply, they
then dropped their rifles and rushed
him, and after disarming him took him
TO the nearest dressing station. Cor
poral Feldwick, who is prisoner OF
war, has also been awarded the Albert
medal Of the second class.

aloud. "You got 1t cheap maam, II
I'm any Judge"
"NonseGse |" Mrs. Merrilees retort-
ed Indignantly. "As If an American
ever got anything cheap In Paris
and from Cottier's, of all places! by
every right you ought to assess the
duty on not more than forty thousand
dollars"
"Well," the inspector suggested In
diligently, "we'll just see what the APP
praiser says. There he is now. hey,
Charlie, step over here a minute. VIII

In response to this hail, a slender,
bespectacled young man in 0 section
nodded assent, picked his way through
the barrier of trunks, and, recognizing
Mrs. Merrilees, touched the vlzor OF
cap bearing the word Appraiser"
"Mrs. Merrilees has declared her
necklace, Charlie" said the inspector
handing over the case. "And heres
the bill: but she wants you to cake q
slant at IT Tor Vaiue.
Modelling again, the appraiser mar
rowed his eyes and surveyed the neck
lace with an expression OF some mys'
LITIGATION. Then he pursed his lips In
noiseless whistle, looked bewilder-
ment at Mrs. Merrilees and stepped
aside with the jewel case to spot
where sunlight, through wide open
ing, threw brilliant splash OF COLO
athwart the tempered gloom OF tho
pier-shed. Here he subjected the
necklace to minute inspection with
magnifying glass. Finally, wearing
an iHegible expression. he turned
back,
"lt's a corking good thing he an
nounced in an odd tone. I'VE DOM

"Whatp Mrs. Merrilees blazed In
dignantly. "Three hundred thousand
dollars! Ridiculous! Look at the
bill"
"No, ma'am," the appraiser inter
rupted with mournful decision, moi
three hundred thousand, but JUST
three hundred dollars; duty a hun
dred and eighty (sixty per cent az
val.), and if you like I'll get someone
else to size it up and see If maybe
we can't shade that bit" :

"but you can't always tell about these

Holland to Send Tobacco.

This years export of tobacco fSon
Holland to Germany is to be financed
by the Netherlands Association OF To
bacco Dealers, a company specially
formed for that object with a capital
of $2O,OOO,OOO. With a view to main
tanning it's exchange rate, Berlin stip-
ulates that German treasury bills OF
two years term shall be taken In pay
ment for such goods, the bills being
guaranteed by the Reichsbank and SIX
other leading German banking insti-
buttons. Should the present shipping
stagnation continue, or the shortage
of cargo space become such that the
Netherlands East Indian tobacco crop
cannot be transported to the Dutch
market, endeavors will doubtless be
made to ship the tobacco, or a large
part thereof, to America. This would
obviate the customary pilgrimage OF
American buyers to the Amsterdam
sales.
