asked one Of the stringed beans on the
vine.
The stringed beans were all ready
now to be eaten-at least many of
them were just the right size and very
nice and tender Others would be
ready within few days.
what was said7" asked another of
the beans.
II don't know whether 1 have the
heart to say 1t over again."
"You have no heart anyway" said
the second bean. We will call them
Bean the First and Bean the Second.
what do you mean by saying such
a cruel thing?' asked Bean the First.
"Ah, me, oh my, this is a very dreadful
day. hear one bad thing and then
another. It's a very bad day; such
shame!"
II can't see why you mind cruel
thing being said to you," asked Bean
the Second. You're mighty sensitive
and touchy for a beam"

sad thing have heard you would not

"Oh." said Bean the Second, $50 that

"What do you think is it2" asked

you would dare anything in behalf of
the poor, and that is why we sent for
you-but had no idea you would face
such danger as stealing the Jewels
might involve"
1.-The danger means nothing, II j can
accomplish the purpose that these
poor people have intrusted to me-" the
girl responded. And as she was speak
ing Duke Hestor wrote series of num-
before Patricla's eyes.
'Memorize those figures" the duke
said. land you have the combination"
Over and over again Pat studied the
figures, and when he was assured they
were fixed In her mind. Duke Hestor
tore the slip of paper into small bits
and thrust the particles into his
pocket.
II will show you the room where the
vault door stands behind curtain.
Here Is a secret door," continued Duke
Hestor. as he pressed carved rose
on the wall panel.
Duke Hestor and Pat stood for a
moment looking into the room. With
his back to the intruders, the king sat
in deep meditation. Silently indicat-
ing with his hand. Duke Hestor point
ed to heavy draperies that hung
against the farther wall of the kings
library.
Then he drew the girl back from the
opening where they stood, and let the
panel slide noiselessly into Its original
position.
Behind those drapes Is the door
Of the vault" said the duke.
Pat departed from the palace by a
secret entrance, tossing the purple
mask into q vase Of flowers near the
walk. She knew that II Sphinx Kelly
were to pick 1t up, he would know that
again were his wits in conflict with

He spoke rapidly. and was evidently
Ill at ease.
MY mother died few months ago
and willed to the peasants valuable
necklace-the jewels to be sold and
the proceeds to be placed at the dis
posal of the Peoples league for dis
tribution among the needy. The king,
my father, has decided that he shall
keep the Jewels, and has locked them
in his private safe"
II must know every part of the
story" said Kelly. "or I cannot pro-
ceed with intelligence"
1.-THE fact Is" Prince Angus re-
sumed, Duke Hestor covets the
throne. and he is very popular with the
people. There may be an uprising at
any hour and the king may be de-
throned. This would bring Duke Hes
tor into power"

"Yes, he does" the prince replied.
land. unfortunately, he and the king
are the only ones who can open the
door to the vault.
'Tf the duke were able to procure
the gems, could he sell them readily ?"
was Kelly's next question.
"Yes, indeed" was the immediate an
swer. "Only a short distance from the
palace there is an immensely wealthy
banker who has made 1t known pub
licly that anyone who will bring him
the gems may have the money"
"Who is the leader Of the Peoples
league?" the detective next asked.
"They have never had real leader
until this very week. There is mys-
terious woman among them now, and
she Is immensely popular. Her pres
ence caused the king to send for you.
She is working the peasants into frenz-
les of enthusiasm"
"How long did you say this woman
has been herer' Kelly inquired, his
keen interest being shown in voice and
manner.
"Only a day or two. She has come
here from Paris. where she is known
for her charitable deeds and her inter-
est In the poor and oppressed"
Kelly sat for moment silently con-
sidering the outlook.
"You may tell the king that will
fathom the plot" said the Sphinx.
While Prince Angus and Kelly were
discussing the problem that confront
ed them, the girl leader Of the Peo-
pies league was holding a secret ses-
sion with Duke Hestor in another room
of the palace.
you must take me to the room
where the vault has been built. Then
give me the combination, and will get
the Jewels. They belong to the peo-
pie and they must have them," the
girl was saying. vi
II can understand why you are the
idol of the poor Parisians, Miss Patri-
cia," said Duke Hestor with uncon-
cealed admiration. '.They told Us

"Do you think such thing would
happen to me-" asked Bean the First.
ut Is very apt to If you keep ON the
way you are going. You'll have to
mend your ways"
"How can mend my waysT' asked
Bean the First. "You speak to me as
though were stocking and could
be mended or darned."
II don't mean you have to be darned,
or that you could be mended, for I've
never heard Of bean being sewed-
that IL with a needle and thread. But
a bean is in a way sowed to make 1t
grow up into fine vegetable and you
can mend your ways by being pleas
ant and by growing into nice, tender,
delicious bean. That's the thing for
you to do"
"Tn try" said Bean the First. "But
why did you say had no hearth"
Neither have you," said Bean the
Second. II just picked up that express
sion somewhere. Beans can't have
hearts,,
Lettuce plants have hearts," said
Bean the First. '.They talk Of hearts
Of lettuce"
"Come now," said Bean the Second,
"you aren't lettuce plant, nor are you
a lettuce leaf. Be what you are and
be satisfied. You're a good vegetable
and that's enough for you or for me
to be-"
"But can't tell you what made me
feel SO dreadfully in the first placer"
asked Bean the First.
Eyes, but don't tell 1t in cross,
unhappy way. Speak Of 1t as joker
''I don't see how can." said Bean
the First.
'Try," urged Bean the Second.
"Some children were passing through
the gsrden and one Of them said to
another in a very cross voice-you
could tell they weren't friendly BY the
sound of their voices-'You don't
amount to a row Of beans. You're lazy
and idle and silly
"Now the second child was very an

inaue Iooi OF lne King OF Dufrane,
cried the monarch in walls of anger.
"Yes, and she's fooled the Sphinx"
Kelly muttered to himself.
Rousing the guard, the Sphinx made
IN effort to apprehend the girl, but
was, Of course, too late. Even while
the king and his household were in
commotion Pat had sold the Jewels to
the banker, who was waiting, ready
to pass over the money, and within the
hour she had enriched the treasury Of
the Peoples league.
Good friends, my work here is
done" said Pat, when the wildly en-.
thusiastic members of the league had
| calmed down enough to allow her voice
to be heard. "The queens wishes have
been fulfilled"
The shouting and cheering populnce
followed the girl from the hall and into
the street. She led the procession
straight to the palace, and then urged
them into cheers for the king. BY the
| mastery of her viii she had changed
the whole temper Of the people from
antagonism to loyalty toward their
monarch.
Inside the palace the king heard the
uproar and marveled. He looked from
his window and beheld the frail girl
leading his people in their cheers.
Then he sent for her to be ushered
into the throne room.
And there. in the presence of the
king, the girl faced Sphinx Kelly.
