a thing or two to tell YOU"
Go ahead" | said

| w ohVuuB L
I'VE had a cable from our Paris
office Just before / left. 1t seems
that NJ. Theophile dAurelle plays
the fiddle in the orchestra of the
Cafe de Paris. He played as usual
tonight, so that it Is manifestly
impossible that he should also be
lying in the New York morgue.
No doubt he may be able to iden-
tify the photograph of the dead
man, and we've already started
one on the way but we can't hear
from 1t for six or eight days. But
my guess was right-the fellows
name isn't d'Aurelle."
You say you have a photo
graph"
Yes, l had some taken of the
body this afternoon. Here's one of
them. Keep it; you may have a
use for it,"
There was. a moments silence;
then I decided the time had come
for me to speak.

about to tell you is told in con-
fidence until I give you permission
to use 1t. Do you agree?'
eco on" he said. his eyes on
my face.
well, believe I know how
these two men were killed.
Listen"
And I told him in detail the
story OF the Boule cabinet; / re-
peated Vantine's theory Of its first
ownership. ! described the diff
ference between an original and a
counterpart, and dwelt upon Van
tines assertion that this was an
original of unique and unques-
tionable artistry. Long before !
had finished, Godfrey was out OF
his chair and pacing up and down
the room.
Beautiful" he murmured
from time to time. Immense!
What a case it will make. Lester"
"Then you see it, too?" I ques-
toned.
"See it?" and he dropped into
his chair again. "a man would be
blind not to see It. And I believe
that we have both arrived at prac-
tically the same conclusions. Here
they are" and he checked them
off on his fingers. "The cabinet
contains a secret drawer. This is
inevitable, II it really belonged
to Madame de Montespan. That
drawer, since 1t was, perhaps, to
contain such priceless documents
as the love letters of king, must
be adequately guarded, and there
fore a mechanism was devised to
stab the person attempting to
open 1t and to inject into the
wound a poison so powerful as to
cause instant death. Am I right so
far"
Wonderfully right" I nodded.
81 had not put 1t so clearly, even
to myself. Go ahead"
1--WE come to the conclusion
then" continued Godfrey, that
the business of this unknown
Frenchman with Vantine in some
way concerned this cabinet"

trembling hand.

cried, and sprang forward.

had carried in his watch!

could be helped upstairs to his
own room. Meantime Godfrey
had departed and the undertaken
been and gone.
Before leaving myself called
Parks and we made the adjoining
rooms-the one where the trag-
edies had occurred and the one
where the cabinet still stood-as
secure as possible. I tested the
burglar alarm and Parks raised
and bolted the heavy wooden
shutters.
1t was also arranged that Parks
should sleep on a cot placed In
the hall directly before the locked
! door OF those two rooms.

Good. That would seem to in
dictate that we are on the right
track. The Frenchmans bust
ness, then, had something to do
with this secret drawer. Left to
himself, he discovered the cabinet
in the adjoining room, attempted
to open the drawer, and was
killed."
YES" I agreed, "and now how
about Vantine?"
"Vantine's death isn't so SIM
ply explained. Presumably the I'M

drawer, in order to secure it's con-
tentsthat seems fairly certain
from her connection with the first

You still think 1t was her

Il am sure of it,"
Perhaps the woman had Moth
ing to do with it. Vantine him
self told me that he was going to
make a careful examination of the
cabinet. No doubt that is exactly
what he was doing when the wom-
ans arrival interrupted him. He
might have let her out of the
house himself, and then, returning
to the cabinet, stumbled upon the
secret drawer after she had gone. /"

"There are objections and rather

DON'T FUSS WITH
MUSTARD PLASTERS!
Musterole Works Easier, Quicker
and Without the Blister

There's no sense in mixing mess
of mustard, flour and water when
you can easily relieve pain, soreness
or stiffness with a little clean, white
Musterole, made of pure oil of mus
tard in the form of pleasant white
ointment. 1t takes the place of the
out-of-date mustard plaster, and will
not blister.
Musterole usually gives prompt re-
lief from sore throat, bronchitis, ton

ralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy,
rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches
of the back or joints, sprains. sore
muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted
feet, colds of the chest.

Espionage i'm the United
States Is costing the Euro
pean belilgerents TEN MIL
LION DOLLARS A WEEK,
Or $500, 100000 a year!
There is reason to believe Sena-
tor Overman was not over-esti-
mating when he said there are
100000 spies in the United States.
These men cost their masters, in
salaries and expenses, all of 500
week apiece.
II experience of European coun-
tries is capitalization, these spies
will be found planted In every
conceivable and many an incon-
ceivable place throughout the
land.
They are working in munitions
factories, arsenals and dockyards,
in the big financial houses
through which the orders are
given, in the offices of shipping
companies and in the customs SER
vice.
Spies working against the allies,
particularly, are in the cotton ex-
change, where their Job is to put
in big orders and boost prices
when other agents have ascer-
tanned that "the enemy" is about
to make purchases.
There are spies in the war
department and the navy de-
partment, AND IN THE
ARMY AND NAVY.
These particular spies were
specially educated for this kind Of
work.
They we're steered by some
mysterious hand to their respec-
tive posts, and watched for sew
eral years to test their loyalty
before they were made pieces of
their country's espionage system.
The telephone, telegraph and
cable systems of the country are
literally honeycombed with spies!
Thousands of spies are working
in hotels, restaurants and barber
shops patronized by financiers,
statesmen and naval and military
men, where they eavesdrop and
send their reports daily to the
next man higher up These
smaller fry do not know for what
particular person they are work

So feverishly. have the spies
been working since the outbreak
of the war they now have exact
knowledge of the naval, military,
economic and financial resources
of the country.
This espionage game has its
comical side. A spy cannot be
implicitly trusted by his own gov
eminent. The result is that spies
are set to watch spies. Men high
up on the business, men acquaint-
ed with important secrets, are fol-
lowed to the theater, restaurants
and cafes.

keep their secrets.
Uncle Sam Is credited with
possessing the best secret service
in the world. II is small but

mostly college men, who, when
they join the service, "enlist' for

Music Makes Work Easier.

Successful use of Photographic
music is to utilize it as an aid to pen
manship work. According to a report
of an instructor in a New England high
school, music acts as a speed guide for
the penman, just as the metronome
beats time for beginner in music. II
is this mans experience that music
takes off the fatigue and drudge OF
writing letters and stimulates the mind
in a tedious job. 1t helps to create a
correct and uniform speed, furnishes
an exact count for the formation of let
tiers, and thus furnishes rhythm. Waltz
and fox-trot records are placed on the
photograph in accordance with the
rhythm desired for each exercise by
the penmanship students.
Why not spread this happy thought
and stimulate our energies in all work
by an invigorating, snappy tune? APP
parently the player-piano and the pho
nograph have not half told their story
as yet. We have long appreciated
their aid in entertaining our guests, but
it is gratifying to know that they can
assist In the homework as well.-EI-
