to sacrifice, and the dealer knows ex- actly where lives the rich Indian who pays, without much haggling, the top most price.
 The glory of the bazaar like that of practically all that was picturesque, had given way to the vitally needed sanitary measures. But the bazaar still exists, although rather in what we would call open or general mar kets. Undoubtedly they continue to offer many temptations spread before the covetous eyes of the foreign vis- itor in such alluring ways that the end of purchasing is not reached even when the bottom of the purse Is, be- cause the dealers are only too glad to send their wares to the hotel to be paid for at masters or madams con- venience, and lots of other "rare bar gains which cannot be duplicated"
 Most Fascinating of Streets.
 Mr. Curtis Modern India" says of Delhi's Chandni Chauk, 'Silver Street." that it is fairly called "the most picturesque and fascinating street in the world" Between the two rows of trees that grow along the cen ter of it's width of 75 feet there was formerly an aqueduct of clear, rum ming water, that is now filled, and its banks are the great promenade for the city's gentry, both foreign resi- dents and natives.
 But the street is marvellous for the adeptness of the shopkeepers Tn .spot- ting" the stranger. Let a visitor from abroad appear, no matter how perfect- ly Che, at least, thinks) he has dis guised himself in proper Indian garb, he is bounced upon by swarm of shopkeepers, and besought to avail himself of the bargains that were nev- CT before offered, and never will again fall to his good fortune, until he either yields and secures, sometimes true bargain, but often lot of rub bish, or calls to his relief a friendly policeman, usually swarthy Sikh. Sometimes 1t is most amusing when rival merchants grapple each other in their frantic efforts to secure the mo- nopoly of q seemingly profitable cus- toner, and the policeman's services are required to separate the belliger- ents.

Freak EiddIes.

The story of freak fiddles would fill book. They have been made of tin, copper, iron, leather glass and paper. They have assumed many wonderful shapes. Last year, in Los Angeles, blind fiddler used to play on the corner with a fiddle that had no body. A tin horn did the work of the ordinary sound box of the violin. This was the invention of local man. A certain corporation making photograph records in the east uses an aluminium violin. This instrument is scientifically constructed and used by one of the greatest artists in mak- ing records of his solos for reproduce ton on talking machines. Even tho highest priced old violins do not sound as one expects violin to sound when it is reproduced on record. This aluminium violin corrects that and the listeners sit entranced at the sweet tones of the record. The violin, itself has most disagreeable tone. Los Angeles Times.

 Since the invasion and overthrow of her country by the Teutonic allies she has been endeavoring to raise money here for the purpose of equip ping and supporting the remnants of the small army that fought so valiant ly in defense of the crown. These men, few thousand only, are at pres ent interned in neutral country. leave you to guess what will happen if she succeeds in supplying them with arms and ammunition.

The killing of those two men changed the aspect completely. You will certainly agree with me after 1 have explained to you that the one known as Andrew Roon was no other than the equerry who had undertaken to find the-young woman"
 Barnes drew long breath. His mind was made up. He had decided to pool issues with the secret agent, but not until he was convinced that the result of their cooperation would in no way inflict a hardship upon the young woman who had appealed to him for help. He was certain that she was the fair propagandist described by Sprouse.
 And the young woman, what of her? She would, in any case, be held for examination and"

Synopsis.-Thomas K. Barnes, wealthy young New Yorker, on walking trip in New Eng land near the Canadian border, is given a lift in an automobile by a mysterious and attractive girl bound for a house called Green Fancy. At Hart's tavern Barnes finds a stranded troupe of 'barn-storming" actors, of which Lyndon Rushcroft is the star and Miss Thackeray" the leading lady. He learns Green Fancy is a house of mystery. That night Andrew Roon and his servant, guests at the tavern, are shot near Green Fancy. Barnes comes under suspicion and stays to help clear up the double murder. He gets into the Green Fancy grounds; meets the mysterious girl, who gives him the cut direct. and is polite ly elected by oO'Dowd, an inter- esting adventurer. Enter at the tavern another man of mystery. Sprouse, "bo0k agent" Barnes visits Green Fancy with the sheriff and stays to dinner.

Barnes again meets Miss Cameron" the mysterious girl, who is a ravishing beauty in evening dress. She is pris- oner and secretly appeals to him for help.

steaminq Paper.

Stripping wallpaper from the walls of a room is tedious and unpleasant task. The following method has been found to do this work satisfactorily Remove all furniture from the room and take up the floor covering place in the middle of the room some kind of portable stove with a big pan of water on top. Light the stove and close all the windows and doors; when the room becomes full of steam it will soften the paste which has been used for sticking the paper on the wall. After an hour or more of the steaming it will be easy to remove the paper.

Self-control is an easy matter when we are alone. says New Success Maga- zine. But the moment our lives are thrown in with others, then comes the struggle. To maintain our equanimity, to restrain the sharp retort, the impa- tient exclamation, to get along smooth ly with disagreeable people, without friction or jarring-this is the great life test. This is what builds charac- ter, what tests manhood or woman hood, what makes the ideal employee.

 Sprouse was staring thoughtfully at the ceiling. When he finally lowered his eyes it was to favor Barnes with deep. inscrutable smile.

say that if she is guilty of receiving this stolen property she ought to be punished. Jail is the place for her, Mir. Sprouse."
 Sprouse put down his coffee cup rather suddenly. A queer pallor came into his face.
 You do not understand the situa- tion. Haven't l made it plain to you that she is innocent of any intent to do wrong?"
 You have said so, Mir. Sprouse, but your idea of wrong and mine may not jibe"
 ''There cannot be two ways of look ing at it, sir" said Sprouse, after moment. "She could do no wrong"
 Whereupon Barnes reached his hand across the table and laid it on Sprouse's. His eyes were dancing.
 That's just what I want to be sure about" he said. Tt was my way of finding out your intentions concerning her"
 What do you mean?"
 Come with me to my ro0m," said Barnes, suppressing his excitement. 'T think I can tell you where she is and great deal more that you ought to know"
 In the little room upstairs he told the whole story. The little man lis- tened without so much as a single word of interruption or interrogation. Somewhat breathlessly Barnes came to the end.
 And now, MT. Sprouse, what do you make of it all?'' he inquired.
 Sprouse leaned back in his chair suddenly relaxing. T am completely at sea-" he said, and Barnes looked at him in surprise.

 "Confound your impudencei r."
 "One of my purposes in revealing myself to you, Mir. Barnes, is to warn you to steer clear of that crowd. You may find yourself in exceedingly hot water later on if you don't. Another purpose, and the real one, is to secure If possible, your cooperation in beat ing the game up there. You can help me and in helping me you may be in strumental in fighting one of the gravest wrongs the world has ever known"
 will you be good enough, Mir Sprouse, to tell me just what you are trying to get at? know nothing what ever against Mr. Curtis and his friends. You assume great deal"
 Excuse me, MT. Barnes. I'll admit that you don't know anything against them. but you suspect whole lot To begin with, you suspect that two men were shot to death because they were H wrong with someone at Green Fancy. Now I could tell you who these two men really were and why they were shot. But I sha'n't do any thing of the sort-at least not at pres ent.'
 Barnes was impressed. "Perhaps you will condescend to tell me who you are, MT. Sprouse. I am very much in the dark"
 T am a special agent-but not a spy, sir-of a government that is friendly to yours. 1 am known in Washington. My credentials are not TO be questioned At present it would ne unwise for me to reveal the name oi my government. I dare say if l can afford to trust you, Mir Barnes, you can afford to trust-me. There is TOO much at stake for me to take the shghtest chance with any man. 1 am ready to chance you, sir, if you will do the same by me-"

FAST BALL GAME
AT OIL TROUGH

One of the most enthusiastic ball
games Of the season was palyed on
The Oil Trough field last Saturday
when the. Newark Tigers met The
Elmo Gazinks.
The local team went to Oil Trough
with the ltention of playing Oil
Trough, but having beaten Oil Trough
the week before they decided to try
the Elmo lads a rap.
Up to the first half of the sixth n
ming the game was decidedly flop
sided, the the Elmo lads running in
eleven scores up to the last half of
the fifth when the Tigers had only
scored twice.
In the sixth, The Tigers nerve rose
and they hammered the Gazink pitch
er hard. With three men on the bas-
es, John Pascoe, the Tigers Ty Cobb
lost the ball under The Oil Trough
School house making a home run
which further increased the teams eff
forts, and the Tigers batted freely,
running in twenty-one scores in this
inning.
The Gazinks scored only twice more
during the game and the Tigers ran
in four more, making a total of 27
for Newark and 13 for Elmo.

ences which have taken the leadership
and supported church and school, Gel
lebration, baseball, lyeeum, and in fact
have maintained the entire social
fabric of the community while the
farmer has been tilling the soil.
Sears Roebuck & Company do not
attend the funerals of their custom
ers nor do they send flowers, but the
home merchants do. Friends at we'd
dings and funerals are more desira-
BILE than donations to soil fertility if
at the price of community embarrass-
ment, which donations are insignifi-
cant compared with the greater loss
of local social wealth.
Making purchases of the mail or
der house is species of gambling,
both as to price and quality, and one
cause for the public's patronage of
these stores is to crafty this gamb-
ling spirit
One of the simplest and most fun
damental examples of loyalty to home
indastrials and conservation of COM
munity life is giving patronage to
home merchants.
Every community which will leave
is patronage with its home merch-
ants will possess additional to what
it has today factory or the equiva-
lent of manufacturing industry.
Local church people deserve the Sc
verest eensure for their patronage
of the big mail order store at the
sacrifice of local business. At ev-
cry Sunday eervice, no doubt, large
part of the wearing apparel of the
ladies present has been purchased
in stores other than local. A church
member has no community right to
send his patronage to mail order
stores and then to ask the home mer-
chant to subscribe for the expenses
of the church. Why not get church
subscriptions from the catalog houses
patronized? How can the local mer-
chants have any money to help ehur-
ches if the church members buy only
seaplese, sugar, and sheeting from
them, and the profitable merchandise
clothing, etc, from mail order hous-
es?
