them brought to America by some one

for him to dispose of them in Europe.
You see how cunning he is?
He was no doubt thwarled in his

Spanish Falls by singular occurrence
in this tavern. He was attacked in his
room here, overp0wered. bound and

Barnes was abroad early. He was
at breakfast when Peter Ames called
up. An inspiration seized him when
the chauffeur mentioned the wholesale
exodus: he hired Peter forthwith and
ordered him to report Immediately
with the car. He was going up to
Green Fancy for Miss Cameron's
wardrobe.
Two minutes after Peter drove up
to the Tavern he was on the way back
to Green Fancy again. and seated be-
side him was Thomas Kingsbury
Barnes, his new master.
There was not a sign of human life
about the place. Peter accompanied
him upstairs to the room recently oc-

They found two small leather
trunks, thickly beIabeled, in the room

WILL EMPLOY
 VETERANS TO
 TAKE CENSUS
Nearly 9O,OOO Needed To Collect These
 Statistics.

HonorabIy discharged soldiers, sailors or marines will be employed as far as possible by the government ted States Civil Service commission issued the following call to the War Department today:
 Nearly ninety thousand persons will be engaged in the work of col lecdng the facts and figures about Uncle Sans gigantic family after January 2, 1920, as that is the date set for beginning the enumeration of the population of the United States. In this project nearly eighty thou sand workers will be engaged in field work, while the balance will comprise the Washington office force, where the tabulation, classified ton and statistical work will be done from the information secured from representatives of the Census Bureau in the field.
 In this, as in every other Govern ment activity, soldiers, sailors and marines will be given preference in appointments. This is accomplished by giving all service men preference on the eligible list of the Civil Service register In6 majority or the appoint ments of the Census Bureau are gov erned by the Civil Service rules and regulations and the Civil Service Commissioner announces an examin- alton for Census Bureau clerks on October IS and November 15.
 This is made possible as a result of the Veteran Preference Bill re- cently passed by Congress, which gives precedence in original appoint ments in clerical and other positions in the Executive branch of the Gov ernment in the District of Columbia and elsewhere to honorab1y discharg- ed service men, or their widows, and to the wives of injured soldiers, sail ors or marines who themselves are not qualified, but whose wives are.
 The office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War has issued this bull letin:
 "Ex-service men who desire such appointments should make inquiry at the local Board of Examiners of the Civil Service in their city, where full information will be obtained There are 5000 of these boards, one iii nearly every city of the United States. | Men living in comm unities were there are no boards should write the near est one or to the United States Civil { Service Commission, Washington, D. | c.
