The Hague, July Standardized
food Is becoming the rule IN Holland and
standardized clothing may be next.
The scarcity OF meat has called into
being the standard sausage, mixture of
beef and veal, produced under govern
ment control and sold at the fixed price
of 022 per III.
The shortage of leather is responsible
for the introduction of standard shoes IN
three grades and prices; and standard
sack suits IN SIX varieties OF sober tints
are promised for the near future.
Standardization in women's clothes IS
urged IN some quarters; but few venture
some spirits hazard any concrete sugges-
tions on this thornv problem.
The latest Is the standard cigar. To
bacco prices are soaring and cigars now
cost twice or three times as much as they
did year ago. The government article
will be made OF the remaining stocks of
Java tobacco in the country, and provided
with a wooden mouthpiece, enabling the

There seemed no help for us.
Where was Jimmy Barton all this
while?
We shall have to go back few
hours and follow Mr.. Barton through
series OF adventures as startling as
those with which Marie and i had met
that night
Mr.. Barton had an understanding of
how 10 deal with various elements
of the underworld that went far deep
er than mere knowledge of their
languages. Not only could he speak
italian, but he could LOOK Italian.
After the editor had given him his
assignment he hurried home and pro-
ceeded to make up for the part he ex-
pected to play that night.
Jimmy set off at once for the dis
trict in Harlem where he expected to
get information against the Black
Handlers.
Farrarl's saloon was known to
few well-informed newspaper men as
the focal point of most of the plots
which undermined Little Italy"
1t had an unsavory reputation-and
even Jimmy Barton might have hesi-
tated TO go there alone after nightfall
had It not been for his faith in his
disguise.
He ordered drink at the bar and
talked casually to some of the by

room, into which Jimmy longed to
penetrate.
No request to see 1t would have
brought him there; but chance to
involve the newcomer, strange to the
ways of the metropolis, in game in
which he might be neatly relieved of
his savings was, as Jimmy well knew,
likely to carry him into the room,
which was reputed to be the gather
ing place of the Black Handlers.
When Farrari walked away from
his station behind the bar and swag-
gered nonchalantly over to the door
of secrecy behind which the reporter
longed to penetrate Jimmy fairly held
his breath.
Several moments passed and then
Fnrrnri sauntered back again from the
rear room. He was followed by man
who carried five cards with him.
Jimmy managed to keep q betraying
CLEAN of satisfaction from leaping to
his eyes. WhimsIcally he reflected to
himself, 'Those guys certainly distrust

Jimmy assured his questioner with
all enthusiasm and In rapid Italian
that Vincenzo MartellI was known to
every one who had ever set foot in the
west end of Boston.
If the other man had manufactured
a Vincenzo Martelli on the spur of the
moment, Jimmy's reply committed
neither of them to much.
Without more ado his new acquaint-
ance proposed that Jimmy make

the heroic determination to make
stand and the grim terror back of
that which made me realize exactly
how dangerous was the position in
which we had become involved.
In some way of which ] was not
then aware, Arturo had offended the
powers that be in Little Italy"
A second later the door burst open.
Two Italians rushed in. One was the
lurking figure of the shadowy pas
sageway-the other the "blind' man.
They rushed at Arturo. Love and
fear made him dauntless: he threw
one upon the ground and turned to
meet his second opponent. But the
fight was not an even one, for the
man he had flung aside jumped up
again and made as If to attack him

and rushed over to save Arturo from
a flank movement But the man l
meant to circumvent threw me aside
roughly and rushed with the force of
a charging bull at Arturo. There was
a sudden CLEAN of light as he leaped
on the young violinist.
'He will keel Arturo" shrieked
Marie desperately.
There seemed no help for that, for
the flashing CLEAN came from an up
lifted dagger in the mans hand.
Then suddenly the miracle for which
Nnrie had been ,raying happened. A
