 Actions That Surprise.
 Dicky's mother knew the secret of the vase, and under a pretence of fussiness allowed no one to arrange her flowers but herself I was sure that Cousin Agatha. whose malicious eyes l most dreaded, had no idea of the real contents of the vase.
 I made up my mind that I would not allow the fellow to take me by surprise. but that I would confront him suddenly. Accordingly, as soon as I heard the stealthy pad-pad of the Japanese feet behind me I wheel ed and faced him, frowning.
 What does this mean?" I began angriy, but the face of the Asiatic did not show by so much the flicker of an eyelash that he had heard me. He only said in a tone of assurance: You Missee Graham. I see you house day I come here. My master say give you this. Take care no lose it, he say life, death in it"
 He had not stopped his ploddine, only sackened it and he had spoken the strange words while coming to- ward me. And just as he passed me he put out one arn1c with an lnde- serbia ble snaky motion, and with his long, tapering fingers pushed into the hand that held my handbag, a small sealed envelope. Then. suddenly and perceptibly increasing his pace, he pad-padded swiftly along the street, and turning the corner was lost to my view.
 My first impulse was to drop the little envelope as if it were some poisonous thing. Weird stories which I had read of subtle poisonous vapors being enclosed in sealed letters Whirled through my brain until my sense of the ridiculous came to my aid.
 "The only vapors which will affect you are the ones which you always have hanging around your alleged brain." I said grimly to myself, and first looking around to assure myself that no one had seen the incident but, indeed. it would have taken a quick eye to follow the laps quick mOVements-I opened my handbag and thrust the envelope within it, resolved to let no foolish fears stand in the way of my thourough .examina nf I C.I1n

London, Feb. 19.-Rumors are cur.

thrown by the social revolutionists
under the leadership of M. Tchernoff
says dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph company.
Nikolai Lenine and Leon Trotzky
are said to have escaped to Riga.
LED BY EX-MINISTER.
Vasa, or Nikolaistadt, is in Finland
on the only railway between Petro-
grad and Tornea, on the Swedish
frontier.
M. Tchernoff is the leader of the
social revolutionists and was chair
man of the shert-lived constituent as
sembly. He served as minister of ag-
riculture in the Kerensky government
last July and August.
Tchernoff has been strong advo-
cate of land reform and has been
aligned with the Minimalists.
When the constituent assembly met
in Petrograd in January Tchernoff
was elected chairman over the Boil
sheviki candidate. The next day the
assembly was broken up by the Boil
sheviki and it was reported that the
Bolsheviki intended to arrest Tcher-
nof.
In an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent in Petrograd
January 1o M. Tchernoff said that the
social revolutionist party held that
the constituent assembly should i'm
mediately call conference of the en-
tente allies to consider war aims.
Russia Will Help Allies.
He said his party expected that the
allies would state their aims clearly
and explicitly and would try to har-
monize them with the democratic
principles of the Russian revolution.
M. Tchernoff admitted that the
Russian army probably could not-be
expected to fight to any great extent,
but he declared that Russia could act
as a magnet to draw the German
forces and prevent their being thrown
to the western front, thus helping the
allies.

To Danish Hairs
(ReautY Notesl

Ugly hairy growths can be removed
in the privacy of your own home if
you get a small original package of
delatone and mix into a paste enough

hairy surface. This should be left on
the skin about 2 minutes, then re-
moved and the skin washed and every
trace of hair will have vanished. No
harm or inconvenience can result from
this treatment, but be sure you buy
