For Il moment Sir Oliver Haul

in low. emphatic tones before
Jerking out a few words in native
dialect TO the chauffeur.
The brakes screeched and the
huge car slowed and turned right
in the face OF a Eharri. the trot-
ting horse of which jammed the
shafts into the side Of the car be-

painted upon the dark forehead
and his memory carried him back
to one fearful moment in Amer
lea when that same design, tat
tooed upon an uplifted arm, had
caught his gaze before the knife
descended and missed his throat
by the fraction OF an inch. 1t was
a simple design-merely a creS-
cent almost surrounding a tiny
circle. Smith sat quietly waiting.
"Sahib. no find brush. Come
back tomorrow. Salaam, sahib.'
At the closing or the door Smith
came 10 life as If he had been an
unleashed bloodhound. Upon his
hands and knees he followed the
course that the native had taken,
examining every inch OF the floor.
Arrived at the boots he sat for
fifteen minutes and studied them
with minute attention as il they
had been some precious manu-
script the deciphering Of which
might divulge secrets Of the high
est importance.
From the boots Smith crawled
to the bathroom door, stood erect.
and entered. Here the native had
spent two or three minutes beyond
observation. What had he done?
Nothing seemed to be disturbed
until he bent over the washstand
and gently touched the bristles OF
his toothbrush with delicate fin
ger-tips. The brush was slightly
damp and, at. that time in the
afternoon. it should have been
dry. He raised it to his nose and
smiled. There was a faint odor
OF something - something that
held a f1eeting trace Of crushed al
monds. 1t might be poison-perhaps
prussic acid. one touch OF which
10 the tongue would be death.
Smith re-entered his bedroom

Then come with me where we
can talk more freely"
They stepped out upon the
street and entered a government
car, the native chauffeur Of which
drove off through the famous
Madam OF Calcutta. As soon as
they entered upon the beautiful,
winding roads the gray-haired ON
cial turned to his companion Win
a worried expression which he had
not permitted when under h
eyes Of the loungers in the hotel

way; being made to attack him so
that the famous Criminal Intelli-
sence Department OF India might
have a chance to strike. In short.
Smith was the bait for the trap.
The arrangement suited him.
Perhaps he might even do a little
moro than guard himself. There
was always the unexpected 10 con-
slider and the motive for human
action was the same the world
over.
Once more a knock came at the
door and Smith, dropping INTO a
chair, lazily called his permission
to enter.
The door opened and a tall,
handsome native, in snowy ser
wants costume, stepped inside. a
red sash girdled his waist and a
towering turban OF purest white
surmounted his wellformed fea-
lures from which black eyes
cleaned down at the man in the
chair. Upon his forehead. in red
paint, were two pairs Of vertical,
parallel lines with a tiny spot mid
way between.
So still the boy stood for an in
slant that the rapidity Of his first
movement was most unexpected
yet Smith did not stir nor do more
than follow the flying figure with
his eyes. AS if propelled by some
powerful emotion the boy literally
hurled himself across the room
into a PROSTATE position at Smiths
feet. With his forehead resting
upon the floor he broke into a tor
rent Of Hindustani which was NJ
terly unintelliGible to Smith who
remained a silent and impressive
spectator. At last the boy seemed
to realize that he was not under
stood and changed to faulty
English.
"Sahih," he said. while his voice

The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1922-09-09

AS he spoke the boy pulled up
a loose trouser leg and showed
ugly gashes upon his calf which
were only just healed.
1T was nothing" said Smith
deprecatingly. The crocodile was
too busy with you TO pay attention
to me. | only had TO put the gun
against his head and fire.
"Sahib, there were more mug

AS the boy rose to his feet a
sudden interest came into Smiths
eyes.
How did you find me-" he
asked. Il left you in karachi and
that is more than a thousand miles
away"

boy exclaimed. "Langa Doom

and then pointed to the red caste

Which Starts Soon.

Harvey street between Twentieth
and Twenty-fourth is becoming a
center of considerable activity due to
the prospective widening of that por-
ton OF the street.
Z The actual widening may be under
way by the latter part of this month,
according to Commissioner Koutsky.
Preparatory to this widening; the
apartments on the south side Of the
street near Twenty-second, owned by
Q. D. Kiplinger, are being moved
back and remodeled, 50 that there
will be five store buildings, on the
ground floor and two stories of apart
ments above.
Another evidence of activity in this
street was the purchase last week by
the Boston Ground Rent Trust from
H. A. Wolf OF garage on the north
side of the street just west of Twen-
tieth for $ll2,500, for which the Wolf
company three years ago paid $75,000.

Boston Trust Buys
West Harney Building

The Boston Ground Rent trust, a
national real estate investment COM
pany, last week purchased from the
H. A. Wolf company the garage
building on Harvey just west OF
Twentieth, for $ll2,500, or slightly
more than $1,000 per front foot.
This is a one-story building with
frontage of liz feet on Harney and
is 80 feet west of the corner of
Twentieth and Harney.
The Boston Ground Rent trust
owns considerable property in Oma-
ha, the most valuable piece being the
Paxton block at the northeast cor
ner of Sixteenth and Farnam streets.
This concern was organized, l20
years ago in Boston. 1t owns prop
erty in most of the principal cities
of the United States.
The fact that the Boston Ground
Rent trust has purchased Omaha
property west of Twentieth street is
considered by realtors to be the best
obtainable evidence that the business
district of this city will continue to
grow westward. This company bases
its judgment on records extending
back 120 years.

Are you a prospective builder
who thoroughly appreciates the
charm Of a Dutch colonial home, but
hesitates TO use this style because Of
the eut-up bedrooms3 If so. this
design should suit. The caves have
been widened so that the second
story Is the same sire as the first,
yet preserving the scheme OF the
period in the exterior. That makes
the second floor ideal.
This is a very economical home to
build. The foundation is small and
perfectly rectangular. The entrance
hood, the roof lines and the con.
trasting shutters furnish the decora-
ton. N
In this small home is a surpris-,
ingly large living room with a big
welcoming fireplace. The convent
ent coat closet, the large, cheerful
dining room and the kitchen, with
breakfast alcove and we'll planned
arrangement of range, sink, cup
boards, work bench and ironing
board, are other features Of this very
ivable and lovable home.
