CHAPTER XI.

The chief sent for Boroday early the
next morning.
you've turned the trick all right"
he said, grimly smiling.
Boroday, as immaculate as ever, set
tied his tie.
"Yes2"
"Sit down." said the chief. "Now
that you know you're going, I suppose
you're not in any particular hurry"
Boroday ran his hand over his silky
beard.
Il should like to get to a barber"
There is no great hurry, now," said
the chief, when BOroday was comfort
ably settled and smoking one of his
eternal Russian cigarettes, II wish you
would tell me why you disposed of
that pearl the way you did. 1t wasn't
quite up to our agreement, you know.
1t was to be given to me and l was to
return It. Instead of that 1 had to
make wild-goose chase out into the
country"
"Ah!" said Boroday, "into the coun-
try"
The chief, who was accustomed to
reading faces, watched Boroday closely.
But If there was tightening about the
Russians eyes, 1t was very faint.
"You know blamed WE'LL" said the
chief peevishly, "just where 1 had to

CLAMP is CARPENTERS AID
New Device Designed to Hold Siding
In Place While the First Nail
Is Being Started.

1t Is difficult for man to nail siding
on house because he must hold the
board in place while starting the first
nail, as we'll as when marking and
cutting the stock. A device made of
steel bar fitted to weighted section
of pipe Overcomes this difficulty, says
Popular Mechanics magazine. The
end of the bar is hooked up to the stud.
ding and clamps the board securely.
The clamp is made as follows: Pro.
cure piece of soft galvanized steel
bar u by l by 30 inches. Bend 1t
together IA inches from one end, and
then bend the shorter part to a right
angle, inches from the end. Stud
ding Is usually ~ by 3A inches, aud
the end of the longer part of the bar
should be bent to this shape so as
to hook around the studding.
Allowance must be made for the
thickness of the siding-usually N
inch-and 1A inches additional to give
a proper clamping force. The handle
is piece of pipe, inches long. After
fitting it over the folded bar, weight
it with about three pounds of lead.
When the piece of siding is to be
fitted into place, hook the clamp On
the studding and drop 1t to bind. It
will hold boards while marking and
saving them. For long boards, place
the clamp near the middle. and slide
boards under 1t.

NEW ZEALAND GOOD MARKET
Shoe Dealers Find Goods Marked
--latest American Styles" Attract
Most Patronage.

American shoe manufacturers have
1t in their power to increase their
sales in New Zealand in spite of the
preferential tariff that operates
against them, says report issued by
Uncle Sans bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. American shoes
are as well thought Of there as in
other parts Of the world and the
strongest bid for patronage that re-
taller can make is to show in his win
dows shoes marked --latest American
Style"
The business obtainable IN the New
Zealand market is well worth cult
waiting, 1t is declared, for the mer-
chants are a most dependable class
of careful, conservative shoe dealers,
and the people can afford to buy the
highest-priced footwear. OF the $2,-
100000 worth of footwear imported
in 1915, only about $175,OOO worth
came from the United States. There
is little question that American shoes
could hold n more important place in
the market, says the government re-
port, If more sales energy were back
of them. Other shoes are being sold
