while we do we let folks know we're

THAT is the way to do it." said Mrs.

Just what DO you mean by all Of

Neither am l." said Mrs. Kingbird
Il wasn't very clear in what ! was

creatures who like to sound very wise
and who really don't say much of any
hing OF any Importance.
But because they would like to ap-
9ear important they make speeches
with great, long words in them, and
they look down on any one who doesn't
understand these words.
'Fooish and conceited, call it.
And those creatures usually know less
chan the ones who're not ashamed of
not knowing everything in the world.
II meant, Mr. Klngbird, that I have
never seen any reason for coming
around where people were and keep
ing quiet about it.
I'VE might just as well stay where
it is quiet If we're going TO be so
quiet.
"We're sensible, though. We come
where there is lot of life and where
there is a lot of going on, and where
there are farmers and their families
and friends.
I'VE only stay for short time. We
don't arrive until quite late in the
spring and we leave in the middle of
the summer, as rule, or at the end
of the summer at the very latest.

If letters of acknowledgment could
be abolished in government depart
ments, thousands of dollars could be
saved This is the conclusion of one
who has seen the wheels 60 round.
Everybody gets letter of aclnowl-
edgment.
Ii you transmit anything to a fed

stating that 1t has been received.
If you write for a job, yOu probably
won't get it-but you will get a nice

of gifts to churches by devout follow

the use of more elaborate and costly
paraphernala in the services. Con-.
stNntine. first Christian emperor of
Rome, laylshed gifts on st. Peters
church in Rome and on Sancta Sophia
in his own capital, Constantinople. He
thus had II hand in enriching the two
most famous ard once the two richest,
churches in ChristeEdom.
The marked enrichment of Chris.
tIan churches began in earnest in Italy
and the east in the Fifth and Sixth
centuries and spread in early medieval
times TO France and other western
countries. Not only did the churches
accumulate gold chalices, patens, can
dulUbra and other small objects, but
many had large screens of gold and
silver, as well rs fonts and statues To
4 few Of the churches, affairs of solid
gold were presented, but later church
regulations prescribed stone and wood
as the only permissible materials for
affairs. Precious stones also came in
use to ornament images of the saints,
or us gifts to them. Thus the Sacred
Baby Of the Church of Ara Coel in
Rome has been given over space Of
many wears wealth of jewels.
THE accumulation OF treasure by
temples aud churches and monnsterles
has not been unbroken Tine and
time again these convenient stores of
precious metals and precious stones
have been seized by conquerors. Pa
gans have looted the shrines of other
pagans MOhammedans looted Roman
churches, including st. Peters in SAG,
and the churches of Constantinople
in l453. Sancta Sophia, after the
break between the western and east
ern churches, was sacked by western
Christians during the fourth crusade.
Church vessels were taken or de-
stroyed in many cases at the time of
the Reformation"

his wife, I've said she is bit of clair voyant. We'll, you know there is not much love lost between the police and clairvoy- ants; most of them are shallow frauds, who play on the ignorant, gu;llible public. But Mrs. Grange is different; she isn't in the business professionally. And, being broad minded man, I am ,eady .o admit that there may be something in clairyoyance and spir- uualism, in spite of the fact that they gre usually associated with fraud. Well, one of my men, Constable Bell, lost pen dant from his watch chain. It was not very valuable, but it had a sentimental value. He had no idea where he lost it, but happened to mention it to Mrs. Grange this dwarf woman-and she told him she might be able to help him in finding it.
 "She took him into sitting room above the shop, and after getting his watch from him held it in her hands for few mo- ments. She told him to keep perfectly still, and concentrate his mind on the article he had lost. She closed her eyes and went into a sort of trance. Then in strange, far-away voice she said, T see water-pools of water among the rocks. see man and a woman walking near the rocks, arm in arm. see the man take the woman in his arms to kiss her, and the pendant, caught by button of her blouse, drops into the pool at their feet That was true about the kissing. Bell when off duty visited Horseley, three miles from here, with his sweetheart, and he thought the dwarf must have seen them and was hav- ing joke at his expense. However, he cycled over to Horseley when the tide was out next day, and much to his surprise he found the pendant Tn the vater-j1s. as the dwarf had told him. How do you account fer a thing like that, MT. Crewe!"
 .It is very difficult to account for" said

Farm-I daresay you noticed it. Mr. Crewe?"
 "Yes. They told me at Ashlingsea that the landing place and boathouse belong to Cliff Farm-that they were put up by old James Lumsden."
 "That is right" said the inspector. 'The old man used to do bit of fishing-that is 10 or 15 years ago, when he vas au active man, though getting on a bit--a strange thing to combine farming with fishing, wasn't it? But he was 8 queer sort in many ways, was James Lumsden."
 "And where is this man with the scarlet cloak to be-found when he is net on the front!" asked Crewe. "Pd like to have a little talk with him."
 eeYouU find him rather difficult" said the inspector, w;th laugh. "Old Pedro is deaf and dumb" Nalo,.e."
 "He came here with his daughter and her husband, and he lives with them. His daughter is a dwarf-a hunchback-and is supposed to be bit of clairvoyant or something of that kind. The husband is English, but not very robust type of Eng lishman. They have a shop in Curzon street, off High hstreet-second-hani books"

 "And it was to this man you recom- on cryptogranls?"
 ''Yes; the same man," said the inspec- ter. "I can tell ycu queer thing about

possess what they call mediumistic pow ers."
 "Do you really think it possible that, by ence, this woman was able to reproduce for herself the scene between Constable Bell and his sweetheart, and see the pendant drop?"
 "That is the way in which psychists would explain it, but I think it can be ac- counted for in much less improbable way. I know, from my own investigations into spiritualism and it's claims, that some mediums are capable, under favorable con- ditions, of reading little of another per sons thoughts, provided the other person is sympathetic and tries to help. But even in this limited field failure is more frequent than success. But let us suppose that Constable Bell was an extremely sym pathetic subject on this occasion. How was this woman, after getting Bell to con- centrate his thoughts on the events of the day when he lost the pendant, able to discover it by reading Bells thoughts?"
 Bells thoughts would not be of much help to her, as he did not remember when or how he lost the pendant" said Mars land.
 "The point I am aiming at is that sub consciously Bell may have been aware of the conditions under which he lost the pendant, and yet not consciously aware of them. The human brain does not work as a uniform piece of machinery; it works in sections or in compartments. Suppose part of Bells brain became aware that the pendant had become detached and tried to communicate the fact to that part of Bells brain where he keeps toll of his personal belongings. That would be the normal pro- cedure, and under normal conditions a con nection between these two compartments of the brain would be established, and BeS
