Saws Bacon Had Microscope.

Discovery of ciphered manuscripts crudely illustrated, which are claimed to prove that Roger Bacon, laboring in the dark age of the Thirteenth cen- tury, used a high-powered microscope and telescope, instruments generally attributed to Seventeenth-century in- ventors, was made known by pr. Will frid M. Voynich, noted photographer.
 The drawings reveal, he said, that Bacon observed celestial and anatOmi- cal objects never before known to have been viewed by human eyes and first known to science 400 years later.
 A key to the code used by Bacon to conceal his great work has been found by Dr. William Romaine New bold of the University of Pennsyl- vania, and he now is deciphering the manuscript, Doctor Voynich said.

The only thing for me to do was to disappear, and leave the police to make their own discovery. And the knife? the weapon which had done the deed? What should l do with that?
 I did not hesitate long. l would protect her from discovery if could {; at least until I was myself convinced of her guilt. There was no longer the slightest doubt in my mind but what this was her act. Everything pointed straight toward her. Yet there might be a reason, worthy cause, and, in any case, she had done a service to the country. The world was better off with this conspiratOr dead; nor would I denounce the one who had taken his life. l hid the knife in a pocket of my coat, and hastened down the side street toward the nearest car line, my only desire being to escape that neighborhoOd as swiftly as possible.

NOTES CONVERTED INTO PULP
Millions of Dollars in Wornout Cur. rency Destroyed Every Week in
 Small English Village.

A lonely village in Kent, England, is the scene of the destruction of ten tons of treasury notes every Monday. The average face value of the notes destroyed amounts to $1O0,0O0,O0O.
 The banks and postmasters deter mine when the life of a treasury note shall end. If in the opinion of bank CT or postmaster a note has become worn out, it is sent to the Bank ot England. There triangular cut is made in the right-hand bottom corner of the note, and it is then sent, in com pany with millions of its fellows, to the chief money order department If the post office in Holloway.
 Every day more than a ton of de- funct currency notes are delivered from the Bank of England to the mon- ey order department in Holloway. The notes are then defaced, made up into bundles of a thousand and put into sacks. On Monday the sacks contain ing millions of the defunct currency notes are put into vans and dispatched to their destruction in Kent, where they are converted into pulp.

leadership? Who? And the money? what would become of that? What readjustment of plans would Harris consider necessary? Once I knew his conception of the situation, could better regulate my own action. Mean while the only safe course was to re- main still, and profess ignorance Then had the engagement at PAT Le Compte street-that might reveal something of importance to help me solve the problem.
 I got up, removed the dagger from electric light. It was toy weapon. yet sufficiently dangerous, for all that, and looked at it with a sense of hor- TOT. How could a woman have ever thrust even that keen blade with one blow through to the heart? Yet the evidence was before me. Those dark stains were blood-human blood dried now, but unmistakable in their proof of crime. I washed the steel, leaving the blade bright and polished; then wrapped it carefully, and hid 1t away at the very bottom of my bag, locking the latter against possible in- spectiOn by curious maid. l felt re- lieved once I had the weapon out of sight.
 The morning papers contained no reference to the tragedy-the body of the dead man had not been found in time. There would be noise enough when it was, no doubt, for Ava must have been widely known and ranked as of some importance. Even if his identity was never established, if no suspicion was aroused as to his posi- tiOn, and secret work in this country yet the very mystery of the case would create a sensation. But perhaps he had papers on his person of value. I regretted not having searched his pockets. Then the conviction came that possibly here might be the true solution of the murder-a desire to se- cure some documents the man carried.
 I went down to Costigan's place on foot, not being entirely certain of the exact location. It was an ordinary corner saloon, with stairway leading to rooms above. In the morning hours the barroom was nearly deserted, but the man at the bar. looking me over cautiously, said that "Mr. Parker" had

I bent over and felt within. My nand touched some ob- ject on the floor, and I instantly strengthened up with the thing gripped in my fingers. It was long, thin-bladed dagger-an ornament rather than a weapon-with an odd, fanciful hilt.

MURDERI

Synopsis.-In a New York jewelry store Philip Severn, United States consula= agent, notices a small box which attracts him. He purchases 1t. Later he discovers in a secret compartment a writing giving a cleW to a revolutionary movement In this country seeking to overthrow the Chilean government The writ Ing mentions a rendezvous, and Severn decides to investigate. Find ing the place mentioned in the writ Ing apparently deserted, Severn visits saloon in the vicinity. A woman in the place is met by a man, seemingly by appointment, and Severn, his suspicious aroused, follows them. They go to the des- lgnated meeting place, an aban- doned iron foundry. At the rem dezvous Severn is accepted as one of the conspiratcrs and admitted. He meets stranger who addresses him as Harry Daly. The incident plays into Severn's hands and he accepts it. His new acquaintance is notorious thief, ''Gentleman George" Harris. Concealed, Severn hears the girl address the conspira- tors. She urges them to hasten the work of revolution. The girl dis covers Severn listening. She ac- cepts his explanation of his pres ence and asks him to meet her next day. He tells her his name is Daly. She is Miss Conrad" Harris inc forms him of a scheme he has to secure $1,0O0,O00, the revolutionary fund, and offers to ''split" with him. Severn accepts. Severn learns 1t was his new friend and a Captain Ava" who had lost the box which started him on the trail. Harris tells him the woman is Marie Cess Ter. He arranges to meet Severn next day at Tom Costigan's saloon.

 He's a seed planter, according to the forestry service, and with the chip munk, plays a big part in restoring forests in the West.
 The appetite of rodents for pine and fir tree seed has often been comment ed upon, forcefully and unfavorably, by those attempting to replant burned or logged areas, but J. v. Hofmann of the Stabler, Washington, experiment station, has found that young trees re- turning to such lands frequently come from "seed buried by small rodents beneath the duff of the forest floOr."

already gone out, and had left no word as to when he would return. I was rather glad, yet left a tele- phone number, with a request that be called whenever he came back. I waited impatiently for the call in my room, but none came. It dawned upon me that in all probability Harris was frantically endeavoring to find the whereabouts of Ava, as yet having no suspicion of his death. I telephoned Costigan's, but "Mr. Parker" had not returned.
 sent out for a noon edition, eager ly scanning it's columns, but finding nothing. Surely the deserted car, with it's grim burden, must have been discovered before this. The police must have suppressed the news to en- able them to work in secret; they might have found some evidence in the dead mans pockets, or in the dark recesses of the car, by which they still hoped to capture the assassin.
 I remember eating in a basement restaurant, where I was totally un- known. and then departing for the rendezvous on Le Compte street. I approached the number given with serious misgivings. If the police were actually on the trail, some knowledge of this place might be in their posses sion, and I could not be too cautious.

CHAPTER vI-contInued

If so, who then was Miss Co1radT' Not Marie Gessler, certainly, under another name, for she would have re- turned to Washington. There was no doubt as to that, for Ava had agreed to take her direct to the depot in his own car, and would scarcely leave un- til she was safely on the train. Prob ably the other woman was a confed- crate. with whom she would communi- cate by telephone My clearer judg- ment told me all this, made me fully conscious of the danger of keeping this appointment, yet never swerved me from an intention to do so. Marie Gessler's eyes were frank and honest 1; they had looked directly into my own, pleadingly imagined, and I retained a blind faith in her no ordinary cir cumstances would overcome. She was involved in this criminal conspiracy there could be no doubt as to that but why? under what conditions? What could ever have driven so wom- anly a woman to such an association? Was her appeal to me an effort at as- sistance? Was she blindly endeavor- ing to learn in this way if I was worthy of trust, and confidence? This hope would not down; 1t remained in- sistent, persistent. I would keep my word; would go to the place desig- mated, at the hour set; I would go armed, prepared for whatever might occur of treachery-but I would go. Perhaps here was the key to the whole mystery; and once I solved her con- nection with the plot, particularly if it absolved her from blame, and the necessity of exposure, I could go for ward with clear conscience, and land these others where they justly be- longeG-
