For Gods sake, Kennedy" shouted
a voice at the street door, what are
you doing here?'
1t was McLear himself. He had
come. with the Hale patrol, on his
mettle now to take care of the
epidemic Of robberies.
Before Craig could reply a cab drew
up with a rush at the curb and two
men, half fighting. half cursing,
catapulted themselves into the shop.
They were Winters and Moulton.
Without word. taking advantage
had clapped piece of chemical paper
on the foreheads of Mrs. Moulton,
then of Moulton, and on Muller's.
Oblivious to the rest of US, he studied
the impressions in the full light of
the counter.
Moulton was facing his wife with
a scornful curl of the lip.
I've been told Of the paste replica
and l wrote .Schloss that I'd shoot
him down like the dog he Is, you
you traitress," he hissed.
She drew herself up scornfully.
And I have been told why you
married me-to show off your wicked
jewels and help you in your

there is in it one new bag containing

Schloss, to whom you sold my jewels
The other old bag, stolen from me,
contains the paste replica you had
made to deceive me-"
1t was all SO confused that I do
not know how it happened. 1 think
it was Muller who opened the safe.
There is the new yellow bag"
cried Moulton, from Schloss' own
safe. Open it,
McLear had taken it. He did so.
There sparkled, not the real gems,
but the replica.
"The devil" Moulton exclaimed,
breaking from Winters and seizing
the old bag.
He tore it open and-it was empty.
"One moment" interrupted Ken
nedy. looking up quietly from the
counter. Seal that safe again,
McLear. In it are the Schloss jewels
and the products of half a dozen
other robberies, which the dupe
Muller-or Stein, as you please
pulled off, some as a blind to conceal
the real criminal. You may have
shown him how to leave no finger
prints. but you yourself have left
what is just as good-your own fore
head print. McLear-you were right.
There's your criminal-Lynn Moulton,

Microbes That Defy Death.

Though some microbes are very
tough and can stand great extremes Of
heat and cold, the majority of them
are easily killed If the right methods
are used. But what puzzled scientists
for many years was that KILLED" mi
crobes seemed to be able to come alive
again!
You could kill them as dead as door
nails. but in very short space of
time they wonld reappear in swarms
and as lively as crickets.
Then discovery was made 1t was
found that many microbes breed by
means of seeds or spores, which are
almost indeStructihle, save by fire.
Experiments made with spores show
that they do not in the least mind I'M
dergoing temperature of 400 degrees
below freezing-paint for many hours.
Nor does ii hurt them to be boiled |!
That is why such disease as an
thrax, the microbes of which produce
spores, Is so extremely difficult to
stamp out-no ordinary means Of dis
infection Is of the slightest use.

GRASS GROWS ON BROADWAY
Fine Plot Flourishes Under Thousands
Of Feet in the Metropolis
OF the Nation.

There might be some towns where
1t would be difficult. but New Workers
ma 1t easy to hustle and yet let the
grass grow under their feet. 1t is be-
ing done at least in one place I'm New
York, near Broadway and Leonard
street, remarks the New York Sun. AT
this point is small drainage grating
set into the sidewalk. Dust and dirt
have settled in 1t almost to the level
or the sidewalk, and in that little plot.
less than two feet square, grass grows
luNuriantly.
This is not ordinary mongrel grass
that, like T0psy, lust growed." A
truck driver working for cotton
goods house in the neighborhood. with
leaning toward agriculture decided
the soil under the grating would be
fertile, and hit upon the Idea OF a
grass plot. He purchased the seed
adapted to the soil.
Next came the preparation of the
ground. With q table knife borrowed
from restaurant the truck driver
spaded the diminutive plot and plant
ed his seeds. Soon the first green ap-
peared. 1t has kept on growing stead
lily. 1t Is true that the blades never
get chance to climb above the top Of
the grating, because they are kept
worn down by hundreds Of passing
feet, but below there is a fine growth
Of rich, green grass.

Simple Food for Fighters.

Researches made by various schol-
ars indicate that the heroes Of Homer
prepared their food with their own
hands, the New York Herald re-
marks. In the happy simplicity Of the
Homeric ages the great heroes who
dealt such terrible blows, leaving
death and desolation behind them
when they reposed after their exploits,
partook of a blameless dish Of beans
or a plate Of hOmely lentils.
1t may be difficult to imagine do
medes in the act Of peellns onions or
Achilles washing cabbage. But al
though the wise Ulysses roasted, with
his own hands. sirloin Of beef, veg
etables occupied the most conspicuous
places at all the great banquets OF
ancient Greece.
