that he would do exactly the stunt he did And as I opened the door I sent my eyes directly to the closet door, wasting no time upon looking up and down the hall. And 1 was rewarded by seeing the door close, with the oiled rag hanging out of it. 1t was child's play to turn the key and take it .out and be assured that he wouldn't have the opportunity to steal those figures"
 Tt was a wonderful thing to catch him that way and locA him up," said sincerely, ''but how could he pos sibly make head or tail out of those figures?"
 Lillian looked at me commiserat- ingly.
 "You're nice child. Madge," she said ironically, "and you don't swear and you're kind to your poor old mother-in-law, and sometimes you're most awfully clever-and again you're the biggest dunce going"
 Thanks awfully, for the posies," I retorted pertly, for Lllan's persiflage neither offends nor grieves me. "but I think you'Il have to elucidate a bit. I still don't see"

 Well, then, know oh. ignorant one." began Lillian bombastically that while you may flatter yourself you have a memory-and it really is remarkable-yc almost any Asiatc you see could beat you all hollow on memory feats, if you only understood in each others language. He, of course, couldn't have any idea of the meaning of the figures, but he would have stored them aWay-despite his ignorance of even the sound of our age--lil1e so much cOrdWOOd and when he got a chance to deliver them to some person who could use them, there wouldn't have been a single stray figure missing.'
 T see," l said humbly. But why didn't you open the door and confront him? He ought to be gotten rid of at once, don't you think? ?"
 "Indeed I don't" Lillian retOrted, q want to give him and Grace Draper too, rope enough to hang them, if they'll only tangle themselves up in it."
 'That's the reason you kept me tell ing tarradiddles all during the visit, is it?" I asked reproachfully.
 "Of course," Lillian replied un- ashamed. II tell you, my dear, if we just manage things right, we'll bag the biggest lot of enemy spies their master, the devil, ever let loose. And to do that I'll move heaven and

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

Another school reports a, Students Friendship War Fund of $1,O00. On small reservation far north, where the winters are long and severe and the Indian must struggle for th5 necssaries of life, more than one dol lar per capita for every adult was paid in cash for the Red Cross and other war relief purposes.
 Furnished Own Raw Material.
 'Tn the far Southwest where the parched desert gives scant means oi support, many of the Indians have each promised a fleece of wool for the Red Cross and the superintendent plans the experiment of spinning this wool and knitting it into socks, sweaters, etc, by the Indian women.
 "In a Montana district where the Indians are nearly all fullbloods they voluntarily held meetings, and each one who has a, growing wheat crop promised to donate one sack of wheat for war relief work While these Indians are not citizens nor subject to the draft, the have voluntarily decided and so advised that all adult, able-bodied males of their number are ready to shoulder arms against the enemy. On another reservation where the Indians are very poor and have little ready money. they donated an abundance of handsome bead work and other curios to be sold for the Red Cross.
 My association for some years with the affairs and progress of the original American impels this refer ence to the interest of the Indians in Red Cross work, although it can give little more than an intimatio1 of their widespread and open-hearted re- sponse to the sacred appeal which more than anything else tells the diff ference between the civilization of a free people and barbaric cruelties of autocracy. This frightful war will have it's compensative value to the Indian. He has even now learned that the great principles and ideals that ara worthy of a, trained war rior's daring are one with the driv- ing impulse to do good and help others; that the cool bravery of his son in the trench and the gentle Cross hospital are the sublime coor- ministry of his daughter in a Red dination of human service to the highest end"

REVELATIONS
 OF A WIFE
Why Lillian Made to SIadgc the Strongest Declaration of Her Life.

In the hall of Mrs Durllec's house, for the last flow weeks "the house of mystery" there is a large closet di- agonally across from the library. To- ward this Lillian moved swiftly, noise- lessly, While I, toiling after her, felt my breath coming unevenly in won der as to the thing she meant to do.
 She paused at the door, bent her ear to the keyhole-being careful however, not to obstruct the light and listened Then she beckOned me to do likewise. AS I did so, I distinctly heard the sound of suppressed breath- ing.
 She gripped my arm, and showed me heavy cloth reeking of floor oil, shut in the crack of the door And then, indicating by gesture that was to hurry on, she inserted the key which she held into the lock and turned it.
 The following minute she was by my side hurrying toward the door and the next we were both upon the side veranda, exchanging careless perfume tory nothings with Dr. Petit.
 It wasn't until we were entirely within our own grounds that I ven- tured a question.
 'KatO ?" I asked,
 "Kato, of course," she answered. And that doddering old idiot--I beg your pardon, Madge, l really can't help my adjectives-won't hear a word against him. I doubt if he would be convinced even at the sight of his faithful one doubled up in the closet where he lodged when I open ed the door,"
 "How did he ever get there so quickly?" l asked.
 Lillian Knew the Oriental.
 My dear child" Lillian replied, di- dactically, mo cat in the world ever had it on the Asiatic when it comes to a quick and noiseless shift of posi- tion. But fortunately, knowing the configuration of the hall and closet and a little about the Oriental mind, al though no Occidental ever sees more than a tiny corner of their mental workings, figured

NEW BRITAIN CHAPTER.

There is d need at present of a num-
 Der of women to sew refugee gar
 ments. The local branch of the Red
 Cross is very anxious to finish a
 quota, of 4000 pairs of socks, and to
 make this possible it will be necces-
 sary to speed up. Yarn for the mak-
 ing of these socks may be had at any
 time by application to the head
 quarters at 20 Court street.
 In a letter to Miss Mabel Boardman,
 of the Central committee of the Am
 ican Red Cross Cato Sells commission
 CT of Indian Affairs, tells of the great
 interest in Red Cross work mani
 fested by the Indians on Government
 reservations. The commissioner states
 that shortly before the last year
 fund drive he received reports from
 about ona-third of the Indian reser- VatiOns, showing the voluntary work
 that had been undertaken among
 the adult Indians, and the pupils of the Indian schools, in behalf of that
 great patriotic movement.
 This information showed an Indian , Red Cross membership of 5.664 The receipts in money were $17,173.16 Hospital garments knitted and mis- cellaneous supplies made and con- tribute, numbered ,05S articles Many of the reports indicated that every adult Indian on the reservation had subscribed to the fund.
 The boys of an Indian school in the Northwest gathered 2,000 pounds ot spaghnum moss for surgical absorb ent pads. One of the larger schools reported Studens' Friendhipt wal fund, with s750 on hand, and twelve l war saving societies. This school ir 1 four weeks bought 1000 thrift l stamps, and fourteen baby bonds. The following interesting informa. 1 ton is quoted from Commissionel Sells letter:
