John Brooke, arriving in New York at

Brooke stores the million dollar suit

Shorty Hanks, who thinks that he has
obtained q big haul through robbery.
Having taken the name Of John Moore,
ne receives 9 mysterious note from q
woman named Lucille Mumford inviting
him to call.
/. While driving in Central Park Brooke
assists q beautiful girl who has been
knocked. from her horse by the man with

The girl explains that she had run
away to marry her riding master named
Mumm who Immediately after the wed
ding. had knocked her down and stolen
pearls valued at $50. 0o0. Brooke remem-
bers the invitation from the mysterious

alone give answer. The drunken
man, sensible only to the value:of his
stolen property, had evidently hidden
them therein, and the accidental over
turning of the shoe bad displaced
them.
Now Brooke thrust them into the
side pocket Of his coat. and even as
he did so~his hand came in contact
with something unfamiliar. 1t was
toblong in shape and metallic. Puz-
zled, he drew out a gold card case,
and then he smiled. It was the card
case belonging to Miss Colby which,
strangely enough, from, the moment
he picked it up at the side of the
bride path in the park that afternoon
until this very moment had been en-
tirely absent from his memory. al:
Still smiling, he opened it and drew
out a card. and along the upper half
of it he wrote hastily in pencil:
Che pearls you took in such cow
ardly fashion are now OF their way
back to their owner
Below the lines. in engraved old
English, was the name.
MISS ANNETTE COLBY.
Dropping the card into the shoe with
a low chuckle he replaced it on the
I%chiffonier. Then, very quietly, he left
the room, closing the door softly be-
hind him.. And the key that he had
found proving to. be the right one,
he stood a minute later In the free
open air of the street, breathing a
grateful prayer to Providence for his
safe delivery and his unexpected good
fortune.

EVERYBODY B1usDERs

British papers < in the thick of
q controversy w the. merits and
dement's of the strategy and tactics
Of the battle of Jutland, in which
both British and German fleets were
severely pounded, m as . result OF
which the German ships were driven
hack to harbor. Partisans Of Ad-
miral Beatty maintain that Admiral
Jellico, who was in supreme COM
mand. ought to hav. given Beatty,
who was in charge Of the cruiser
fleet, the Immediate support of his
battleships, and that he could thus
have won u decisive victory instead
Of something which fell considerably
short of that. Jellico's supporters
declare that this would have been
fatal. and are ready with figures and
diagrams to prove that their favorite
handled hat fight in the best posi-
BILE way.
There have been few important
military OF naval engagements
which do not show, in retrospect,
that eminent commanders have com
mitted errors almost childish in their
stupidity. The mystery is hat these
men lave been able for long periods,
to maintain Il reputation for ability
Of a high order. If one is to give
credit to the reams of criticism lev
eled at supposedly great generals and
admirals, che must be amazed that
such inferior persons'ever got beyond
the grades OF second ~lieutenants or
midshipmen.
But if we consider the attendant.
facts, we find that most OF these men
who have attained eminence in these
particular fields have been about the
most capable of their age and coun-
try; that they have conducted them
selves in trying situations with u
and skill; md that, after all,
they have really been pretty big men.
Big men blunder. Quite often they
blunder more f~isastrously than little
menu because more hinges on. their
mistakes. But the man. who never
plumbers never achieves.

NO 10 nmsm aArrEz,a.

The Federal Trade commission de-
velops an unwonted streak Of caution
in liz report on grain trading Just
made. The eommiAon made q spe-
cial report to tbs president embodying
= number Of findings relating to the
wheat situation. Among other thinsa
it Is Of the opinion that under the Law
q 1t stands the president has no
authority to place an embargo on
wheat imports. The general assump-
ton has been that the president has
this power under certain war leEisaa-
ton which has not yet been repealed.
While dissenting from this view the
commission thinks that the president
has power under the Lever act to stop
further future trading in wheat. 1t is
on this subject that the commission
expresses itself with unusual caution
and moderation. It finds that evidence
is not available to show that future
trading Is responsible for the decline
id, wheat prices, but that neither is it
shown that future trading AZ At pres
.ent operating is OF indisputable SER
vice to the grain trade. Continuing.
the commission says:
Without now expressing an
opinion in this subject (the influ-
ence Of future trading on prices)
it appears that there Is q large
volume OF future trading that is
mere gambling.
JUS why the commission. which Is
habitually cocksslre and emphatic on
anything that it undertakes to say,
should have seen fit to hedge on this
question is not clear. If there is one
subject in the whole realm OF econom-
les concerning which there is neither
doubt nor DON for doubt, it is that "a
large volume Of future trading Is mere
gambling" The facts are outstanding
and indisputable. There are differ
ences of opinion IS to how large a
share of the trading is gambling. but
that there is gambling, and a whole
lot OF 1t, nobody denies.
There is also lack of agreement on
" IA1S 6dAIlOlAA6 e4AcCSo pkaCcS, AuV
decided lack of agreement on how to
prevent gambling without also pre-
venting trading which is legitimate
and in good faith.
We know of no authority possessed
by the government to prevent one in
dividual from contracting with anoth-
er to deliver at any future date a
thousand bushels Of wheat, or any
quantity of any other commodity, at
q price agreed IN. Nor does it appear
that there h any authority to prevent
the cancellation of such a contract by
mutual agreement. How the right of
citizens to enter into contracts is to be
protected under any Of the plans pro-
posed for the elimination of gambling
is one of the mysteries on which the
commission sheds no light.
But in this particular instance the
commission proceeds with needless
caution. It does not need to hint at
he fact that there is gambling. Every
body knew it long ago. The commits
MON AN interest the public much more
effectively if it will explain what is to
be done about it, and why.

HARD CIDER.

There is a difference Of opinion be-
tween the Anti-Saloon League and the
attorney general. The question arises
over hard cider. Mr.. Palmer has held
that if a man has cider in his cellar,
and the cides goes hard" which is a
habit that cider has, 1t is lawful for
him to drink it even though it has
become Intoxicating. The league asks
for a reconsideration Of the ruling ON
the ground hat if this decision is per-
mitted to stand it will knock the props
out from under a large section OF the
prohibition law.
The issue does not involve the half
percent provision in the law. Bever-
age containing not more than that
quantity Of alcohol are admittedly
legal. The law also declares that per-
centage not to be intoxicating. But
the attorney general lets down the
bars for any alcoholic percentage, tro-
We'd that the fiery spirit develops
spontaneously and without special en-
c~ourageraent from the owner. It will
then be permissible for him to drink
the stuff, and even though his feet
become unmanageable and his head
swims, he is held harmless before the
law.
The league, ON the other hand, de-
mands the strict letter Of the law. It
would create a condition which would
require the possession Of every house.

CHAPTER VIII.
RecoNc1y.

Up to the moment of finding his es-
cape cut off, Brooke's temper had not
risen. A thorough philosopher at
heart, he had agreed that in view of
his temerity in accepting an invitation
obviously not meant for him, he had
TO right to resent inhospitable treat
ment. Had he been beaten and
situation with like l%enience; thankful.
indeed, for the sparing of his life,
But to have his exit barred at this
stage of the experience was Irritating
beyond his emotional command. and
he Flowed suddenly hot with angry
resentment.
He found a button in the wall
which controlled the hall light, and,
pressing it, he Illuminated the mar
row passage from end to end. Then,
with hat on head and walking stick
in hand, his temper fired with angry
indignation, he began q systematic
search OF the fiat for occupants. +,
The passage ran from the. small
~vesdbule at the front, which admit
ted to the miniature drawing room,
past four closed DOORS. and ended at
the dining room in the rear.
