@Sure, I'll be writing some notes to

Gramont went to a buhl writing
desk In the corner Of the room, and sat
down. He took out his notebook, tore
OF several sheets, and from his pocket
produced pencil having an extremely
hard lead. he wrote number Of
notes, which, except for the addresses,
were identical in content:
''Dear Sir:
II inclose herewith certain jewelry
and articles, also currency, recently
obtained by me under your kind aus
pieces.
! II trust that you will assume the
responsibility of returning these
things to the various guests who lost
them while under your roof. / regret

owners my profound esteem and my
assurance that / shall not in future
appear to trouble anyone, the carni-
val season having come to an end,
and with it my little jest.

Gathering up these notes in his
hand, Gramont went to the fireplace.
He tossed the pencil into the fire. fol
lowing it with the notebook.
"Can't take chances with that man
Fell" he explained. "All ready, SER
geant. Let's 60 down the list one by
one"
From the trunk Hammond produced
ticketed packages, which he placed
on the table. Gramont selected one
opened it, carefully packed the con-
tents in one Of the boxes, placed the
proper addressed note on top, and
handed it to the chauffeur.
Wrap 1t up and address 1t. Give
the return address Of John Smith,
Bayou Teche."
One by one they went through the
packages of loot in the same manner.
Before them on the table, as they
worked, glittered little heaps Of rings,
brooches, watches, currency; jewels

aloud, cold smile upon his lips as
he worked. "When they come back to

STYLES.

Frances Dolly, teacher of scientific
housekeeping at Western Reserve uni
yersity, comments that most styles
live only four years.
"The first year the style is shown by
exclusive houses. The second, it is
worn by the best-dressed group; in
the third year, 1t is worn by everyone;
and the fourth, it continues popular
with some."
That is also true of thought. By
the time progressives get their ideas
broadcastd to all, the ideas have be-
come obsolete, new styles of reform
crOwding them out.
The last to see the light are the con-
servatives, "old fogies." They are nee
essary, like the big chunk of iron at
the end Of a hitching strap, to keep
the prancing reformers from running
away.
