HE KNEW WHO CRACKED SAFE
Loa-Hauier's Suspicious Basis Of Good
Joke on One Popular Indian.
apotis Citizen.

The return of Major Fred Bates
johnson to civilian life in Indianapolis
recalls a story about him that has
been bottled up long enough.
In the days before he was major
or a captain, or even a private. he
used to 20 down to Salem for weekend
visits with Walter Grim. particularly
In the seasons when the strawberry or
the fried chicken or the sassafras crop
was ripe. His comings were frequent
ly, II not often, unannounced, but ne
knew all the signs and pass words into
Crim's Office and lumber yard, and he
would 20 In and wait for the coming OF
one or the other member Of the firm,
or telephone to see whether there was
room for him up "at the shack"
One Saturday morning he came In In
this way. and 1t happened that while
he was down on his knees trying to
put back a roller that had slipped
from the legs of one of the office
chairs a log-hauler arrived on the
scene. Being Of an inquisitlve dispose
ton, the lOg-hauler tried to find out
what a stranger was doing down 'on
his knees In Crim's office, but. as all
who know Major johnson will easily
believe, the information which he re-
ceived was not wholly satisfactory.
And on Sunday night Crim's safe
was cracked!
Early Monday morning, as soon as
the news Of the robbery became
known. the log-hauler came rushing
down to the lumber yard.
"Say." he called, excitedly, II can
tell you who did thatl There was an
awful suspicious looking fellow in here
Saturday morning when nobody was
around, little chap with yellow hair
and great big glasses. I'll bet he was
the guy that cracked 'er." But the in
formant left the office somewhat crest
fallen when he was told, In no uncer-
tain language, Just who that "suspi-
cious.looking fellow" wasL-Ind'an-

COIN TOOK FANCY OF ARABS
Austrian Maria Therssa Dollar Has
Long Been the Principal Money
Of That Region.

The only coin In general circulation
In Abysslnia is the Austrian Maria
Theresa dollar, Of silver. It IL also
the principal money In Arabia. and
the story Of Its introduction In those
regions and all the ncighborhood Of
the Red sea Is quite interesting.
More than a century ago trading
Arabs got hold Of some Of these dol
lars and found the efaGy Of the queen
(which they bore on one side. the re-
verse showing the Austrian double
.agle) no attractive that they sought
to obtain more Of them. for sale as
3ewelry. Later on they became highly
popular as a medium Of exchange in
mercantile transactions In Arabia !:
and when at intervals the Turkish
government prohibited their importa-
ton a large and profitable business
was done in smuggling them through
Alden and other seaports.
They are all dated 1850. being even
now minted from replicas Of the orig.
lnal die. which is Of rather crude
workmanship. Any change would not
be understood by the Arabs and
Abyssinians and would render them
less acceptable.
Bankers and merchants in the Red
Sea region import the Maria Theresa
dollars in bulk from Trieste. selling
them at q good pfoft or exchanging
them for nntive merchandise. They
are somewhat larger than our silver
dollars, but weigh less than an ounce
and are only q little over four.afths
silver,

The first lieutenant had just been
relieved, writes II. s. T." in the Lon.
lion Mall, and was vending his way
from the destroyer's bridge to his
cabin. II was fairly calm, but very
dark, and there was little to be seen
but n line of waves on each side and
the dim form Of second destroyer

1" had no eyes, for he lad had
weary middle watch and bed was his
only Interest. But he did notice q
weird figure. apparently human.
crawling about near the "bandstand'
of the after gun.
He went to Investigate and found
the surgeon probatloner. clad In
channels leather overall suit, In which
he had been sleeping on the ward
room couch below-fOr every one
must sleep more or less clad. ready to
turn out at moments notice. He
was feeling about In the dark, ap-
parently In search of something.
"What on earth are you doing,
Door he asked. and got the brief an
swer. Laying ghost" The first
lieutenant grunted and disappeared
below, leaving the doctor to insert a
paper wedge between loose rafting
shell and the side Of the stand In
which It was placed.
A ghost, In naval language, Is a
noise which cannot be accounted for.
In destroyer one becomes con-
noisseur In noises.
The steering gear clanks heavily at
intervals and the rhythmic beat Of the
engines is always there, changing only
when the speed Is altered. In heavy
weather the washing and beating of
the water makes hundred noises.
But ghosts are extra noises and
should be av0ldable. Some misplaced
or ili-ftting article or loose screw
may cause the noise. and with the
ships vibration 1t will knock or rattle
with regular persistency that will
drive the most placid mind nearly to
frenzy, and sleep will rarely be the
portion until he has left his
warm bunk and found the cause Of
