"You hof, hof you" the German
grunted. "Then the filthy Boche will

Hugh looked at him angrlly.
IF you do" he cried. "you must let
me CO."
The German leered still more.
"Naturlich. You shall out Of the
house at once walk"
He stepped up to Drummond and
ran his hands over his coat, while the
others stared at one another in amaze,
ment. Surely Hugh didn't imagine
the swine would really let him go; he
would merely take the money and
probably spit in his face again. Then
they heard him speaking, and a sudden
CLEAN Of comprehension dawned on
their faces.
you'll have to undo one OF the
ropes, my friend, before you can get
at It," said Hugh quietly.
For moment the German hesitat-
ed. He looked at the ropes carefully T;
the one that bound the arms and the
upper part Of the body was separate
from the rope round the legs. Even If
he did undo 1t the fool Engllshman
was still helpless, and he knew that he
was unarmed. Had he not himself re-
moved his revolver, as he lay uncon-
scious in the hall? What risk was
there, after all? Besides, If he called
some one else In he would have to
share the money.
And. as he watched the Germans
indecision. Hugh's forehead grew
damp with sweat. 4. Would he undo
the roper Would greed conquer eau
ton?
At last the Boche made up his mind,
and went behind the chair. Hugh
felt him fumbling with the rope, and
flashed an urgent look Of caution at
the other two.
"You'd better be careful, Heinrich"
he remarked, shat none Of the others
see. or you might have to share"
The German ceased undoing the
knot. and grunted. The English swine
had moments Of brightness, and he
went over and closed the door. Then
he resumed the operation Of untying
the rope; and, since II was performed
behind the chair he was in no position
to see the look on Drummond's face
Only the two spectators could see
that, and they had almost ceased
breathing In their excitement. That
he had plan they knew; what 1t was
they could not even guess.
At last the rope fell clear and the
German sprang back.
"Put the case on the table," he cried,
having not the slightest intention of
coming within range of those formid-
able arms.
Certainly not" said Hugh, until
you undo my legs. Then you shall
have It,"
Quite loosely he was holding the
case in one hand; but the others,
watching his face, saw that 1t was
strained and tense.
"First | the notes must have" The
German strove to speak conversations

nearer and nearer to the back Of the
chair. "Then l your legs undo, and
you may go"

movement, he seized the girl and
kissed her before she realized his in
tention. The rope round Drummond
creaked as he struggled impotently,
and Lakington's sneering face seemed
to swim In red glow.

he snarled ITO kiss the lady, and TO

With an effort Lexington let his

THE SALVATION ARMY

The Salvation Army's report OF
its work during its last fiscal year
which ended September 30. con
stitutes splendid record of ben
evidence. 1t is hard to see how
the United States could get along
without this organization of de
voted philanthropists.
During the twelvemonth it dis
pensed charity on an amazing
scale. Beds were supplied at
hotels and lodging houses to more
than a million and half men and
women; Christmas dinners were
supplied to nearly 100000 fani
lies and toys given to more than
125,000 children; thousands OF
families in the slums of the great
cities were aided; thousands OF
prisoners advised and consoled
thousands of mothers and babies
given health outings; thousands
Of men and women provided with
Jobs, and about 600 missing per
sons restored to their relatives.
The need of just such agencies
as the Salvation Army is particu-
larly apparent at the present time
when industrial depression has
made it necessary to establish mu-
Iiicipal lodging and soup houses
But certain amount of this kind
of work must be done at all times
whether business f1ourishes OF
not. And the Salvation Army Is
constantly on the job. 1t relieves
cities and churches of a large part
of the task of caring for the poor
and unfortunate. No other phil
anthropic body is more worthy
of public support.

Hunter Suggests Way To Make Him

Africa is a paradise for the lion
hunter and the literature of the chase
is almost endless Not all lion hunt
ers are strictly truthful. however
For instance. in a remote African
village | once came across a deeply
tanned prospector-hunter, who swore
that his favorite method of hunting
lion was to get the animals 10 sneeze
themselves to death.
IT is quite simple" he said. I'm

of stone. just big enough to allow the
lion TO enter with comfort But you
must take care to build it of jagged
stones and TO see that the center OF
stone of the arch is a particular.
jagged one.
Then you go out and shoot a zebra
or some other toothsome creature
from the lions point of view. You
drag the corpse under the arch, pep
per ii heavily and then retire to your
tent TO sleep.
I'm the night the lion comes. creeps
under the arch TO his feast, gets his
nose filled with pepper and has an
overpowering inclination TO sneeze.
He sneezes and in the act throws up

REFUTES ATTACKS
ON WOMEN'S BEAUTY

Alon Bement, director Of the Mary
land Institute. has come into the arena
to refute the statement Of Prof. Carl
II. Werntz, Chicago beauty expert. that
80 percent OF women are homely.
There isn't woman who doesn't
look pretty TO some man, so who is
competent TO decide the proportion OF
homely women" asked Mr.. Bement.
"On the other hand" he continued,
there isn't a man so homely that he
doesn't possess some redeeming quail
ity in the opinion OF some indulgent
mother. wife or sweetheart"
Discussing Professor Werntz's un-
complimentary remarks on feminine
pulchritude. Mr. Bement declared that
the. statements illustrate the old story
of the African admiring the fiat-nosed
type, the Persian his oriental woman
and the Anglo-Saxon the fair, blue
eyed beauty. 1T would be Incorrect
10 say that any woman is homely.
Every one is blessed with some charm.
She may have either attractive hair,
a beautiful complexion or fine eyes,
he explained. "Of course. il always
takes a particular man to find this
out.
Although being beautiful means a
great deal to woman in any line OF
business" he said, do not believe
that it is more important for a woman
TO be beautiful than to make a pro-
fessional or domestic success. Beauty.
or looking ones best. merely helps.
and every woman is justified in spend
ing much time and thought upon her
appearance.
IF yon were to ask any of the
scores of young men found on park
benches who was the most beautiful
woman in the world, he would name
The girl beside him. The same girl
