Of money matters, Count Louis turned
pale. Returning home that night the
detective was followed by two men
and stabbed. but, fortunately. no,
killed. Lecoq, thinking he recognized
the count and Raoul. decided that
they realized that the police suspected
them Of rObbing the bank, and also
that there must be an even greater
mystery to unravel that had caused
them to become would-be assassins.
Records were looked up and an amaz.
ing story came to light.
LecOQ discovered that years act
MmeA Fauvel, then Valentine de .er-
berie. had been engaged to the counts
brother, CASTOR. In defending her
name at a country inn, CASTOR had
killed a nan and fled to America. al
though he was thought to have been
drowned while escaping. A son was
born to Valentine and given away by
her mother. Later she had married
Fauvel. who was told nothing.
The story was never unearthed TN
til Count Louis had squandered the
family money and by mere chance had
heard of the child's existence from an
old nurse. He made inquiries. Not
long after this, the count introduced a
young man to Nine. Fauvel as her son,
to serve his own ends and to extract
hush-money. This young man was
called her nephew and proved to be
RaOul Layers.
The situation became I'VE more
complicated. CASTOR returned from
America immensely rich, not knowing
of the existence of his son, but deter
mined to see his old love Valentine
once more. Louis, however, realized
that for his own ends. CASTOR and
Nine. Fauvel must never meet. He
Joined CASTOR In the south Of France
and got into his good graces. CASTOR
made a will, leaving everything to
Louis; then poor CASTOR became
m~ysteriously Ill and died. Louis re-
turned to Paris rich.
Madeleine seemed to wish to delay
her marriage. The count feared she
still loved Prosper. sc he promised
RaOul a large sum If he would In some
way ruin the cashiers reputation,
thinking thus to hasten his own mar
riage. as he really vas In love with
Madeleine. The moment came when

Stromboi at 1t Again.

The volcano of Stromboli, on a lit.
tie Mediterranean island of the same
name north of Sicily, has broken loose
again with more noise than a million
Fourth Of July firecrackers and a
light on its top which can be seen
for hundred miles out at sea. 1t
is making a regular spectacle of
itself and getting a notoriety which
quiet, well behaved mountains of
twice its size and Importance never
could get.
For 1000 years at least this OBJ
streperous volcano has been indulg-
ing in these spasms. Some held IT
responsible for the beginning in 1907
of the seismic trouble that laid Mes
sina In ruins. Five years before
Stromboli was in rage which shook
all the Lipari islands to their bases,
and again in 1915 it took heavy
toll of island property in sudden
and unexpected eruption.
The little island over which Strom.
boli lords it would be an ideal place
Of existence were it not for these
spasmodic outbursts, yet many of it's
attractions are explained by the pres
ence of the volcano. 1t has sulphur
springs and baths Of medicinal value,
but bathing in the shadow of Strom-
boli is not accompanied by that sense
Of security which Is likely to attract
those who would be most benefited
by the waters. The climate is
healthful and the soil highly produc-
tive, but the people never know when
they may be forced to flee for their
lives to Sicily or the Italian main
land. A two gun bravado could not
have more successfully cleared out
frontier street than Stromboli clears
the island of it's inhabitants when
the humor strikes it.
If Stromboli were human it
would be a human with cantan-
kerous disposition, one of those old
fellows who used to whoop it up all
night and take his spite out on his
family next day, who would not let
his wife go to the polls election day
or his daughter wear short skirts,
who would kick the cat, growl at the
children and swear at the weather

least 20 per cent. less costly than in
the past are they not shorn of their
greatest glory? Their vast expense

enormous salary paid to the heroine

Then reckon the amount of money

Thus the money used TO dazzle.

Yes, Summers Here.
An Astronomer Sees 1t in the Stars
and on the Earth.

To THE New YoRR HERALD: Summer
has indeed come and our sun, at pres
ent more than $4,000, 900 miles distant,
is crossing the constellation of Gemini.
Gemini is that sky outline which con-
tains the inseparable twin stars Castor
and .Pollux, sky outline associated
with the glorious galaxy" of winter.
According to some almanacs our sun
on June 21 entered the constellation of
Cancer. but that really means our sun
entered the Sign OF Cancer" and the
constellation Of Gemini. A certain grad
ual motion of our earth's axis has
brought about this change from the
constellation Of Cancer to the constella-
ton of Gemini.
Summer has come indeed! We do not
need rising temperatures and increasing
humidity to inform us. We do not need
the ascent of azure Vega and the de-
scent of golden Arcturus in the star
lighted armament to tell US. Even upon
the most congested city streets we know
that summer has come. The prevalence
of straw hats and the absence of ia
millar faces are sufficient evidence. with
out consulting the thermometer or
glancing at the throngs around the soda
fountains. And out in the suburbs and
in the country the evidence of summer
is still stronger. AS we rush along in
our motor cars we behold the verd ancy
of early summer and we breathe in the
fragrancy of flowers and the delightful
aromas from new mown hay or piny
grove. There is something in the air
and in the songs of birds that tells us
that summer has indeed come.
The month OF June is ended. the
month OF July is here. We remember
the verses Of Susan Hartley SWEET:
When the heat like a mist veil floats,
And poppies flame In the rye.
And the silver note in the streamlets throat
Has softened almost 20 a sigh,
II is July.

The stocks have stood stock still
Run down the clocks OF Ave o'clocks.
The phlox, like sheep. no longer flocks
Upon the hither hill.
The buttons OF the bachelor
Were hardly eowed to stay;
The marigolds were baser ore.

Melons Foreign Debt Power.

Secretary MELLON had a proper
enough answer for the members of
Congress who were concerned lest,
IL he had the power, he might ex-
change some of the foreign debt notes
in the Treasury for bonds of some
other country. He replied that 1t
would be a good thing to be in po-
sition to do such thing II the trans
action could be carried out to our
undoubted advantage. He is entirely
right in the way of an entirely prac.
tical man.
A Serbian bond is not to be men
toned in the same breath with a
British bond for present value and
marketable prospects. No Secretary
of the Treasury In his right mind
would ever have an inkling of an
intention to exchange a relatively
small but good as gold British note
for bale of Serbian bonds.
But an utterly and forever worth
less security cannot become good
simply by refusing to part with it
till GABRIEL blows his trumpet. Yet
through fortuitous circumstances the
chance might arise to trade II In for
something else that might not prove
to be any better but that could not
prove to be any worse.
A German bond at this juncture Is
not comparable with a British note.
but a Russian bond Is not comparable
with German note. Suppose Ger
many, by a trade arrangement, or
whatever understanding with LIE.
MINES Russian Sovietism, undertook
to relieve our Treasury Of worthless
Russian o Us, giving 1t in their
place German bonds, would that be
bad bargain for the United States
Government and the American tax
payers, or would it be a good bar
gain?
The power which Secretary MEL
LON wants to handle the foreign
debts, good, bad and Indifferent, now
owed to the United States Treasury
is the power which Secretary MEL
LON, the sound thinker, the trained
and successful business man, the pru-
dent, safe and eminent banker ought
to have.

A Horse Without a Home.

At the trial of the suit brought by
the Rancocas Stable to recover
100000, the amount paid recently
for the three-year-old colt Playfellow,
some interesting testimony may be
expected as to what experts regard
as unsoundness in a horse whose
value is based on his earnings on the
race course and in the stud.
When Mr.. HILDRETH, the trainer of
the Rancocas Stable, opened negotia-
tions for the purchase of Playfellow
he was no doubt actuated by a desire
to add the brother of Man o. War to
the Rancocas stud when the horses
career on the turf was closed. The
potential value OF Playfellov as a
stock horse. was great. One good
judge, who was a keen bidder for the
son of Fairplay, estimated his earn
ings ut $4,000 a year. That Play.
fellow was a wind sucker would have
no bearing on his stud qualifications.
The extent to which this bad habit
would militate against him as race
horse is toBe determined in court
II has been the practice of the
courts for many years to characterize
as unsound any animal that Is thick
in the wind, blind or constitutional
bleeder. Playfellow admittedly has
none of these defects, and the case
would appear to hinge upon Mr.. Hill.
DRETH's statement that he asked
FrTzsrMMoNs, the trainer of Play.
fellow, whether the colt had any bad
stable habits. FTTZsIMMoNs, accord.
ing TO HuDRETH, replied in the mega.
tive. 1t can unquestionably be shown
that horses with the habit TO which
Playfellow Is said to be addicted are
uncertain performers, as filing the
diaphragm with wind brings on collie.
To just what extent the animals
winning capacity would be curtailed
by the habit is for the courts to de.
termine. Man o. War won $249.465
in his two years Of racing. but Play.
fellow is not within twenty-five
pounds of his famous brother. What
sum he might have earned this year
is a matter of conjecture.
on Wednesday an agent offered the
Rancocas Stable 100000 for Playfet
low. The offer brought the reply
that not being the owner the Ran.
cocas Stable was unable to eplertain

A Quarrel Well Ended.

Whatever excuse the authorities Of
New Jersey may have had or may
have believed they had for discrim-
inatory and annoying enforcement
against New Workers of the automo-
bile laws of their State has been re,
moved by the act of JOHN J. LYONS,
Secretary of State of New York, in
directing our public officers here not
to molest motorists legally entitled
to drive under New Jersey licenses.
Attorney-General NEWTON advised
Secretary LYONS in the course he
has pursued. Thus the policy of New
York to make reciprocity with New
Jersey actual and not merely theo-
retical Is rendered effective.
II would be against public policy
to erect barriers against visiting mo-
torists at the boundary lines of the
States. The people of New York and
the people of New Jersey want no
artificial impediments put in the
way of freedom of intercourse. A
row growing out of the refusal Of
one State to recognize the licenses Of
the other, while pretending to OBJ
serve reciprocity in dealing with mo-
tor vehicles and their drivers, would
have no popular support in either
State.
Incidentally, the composition of the
quarrel which has inconvenienced
many individuals is greatly to the
advantage of residents of New York.
for New Jersey requires that all au.
tomobile operators shall undergo ex-
animation and take out licenses,
which is not the case under the New
York statute.
