TWO orner cars already parked on the

l found Roche and two of his men
in the vault, comforting with BARLEY
and Black. 1t had been decided ia
guard the place until morning, when
the whisky could be removed. The
chauffeur was to be taken to the Sar-
atoga Jail and locked up.
When we reached the house, Mrs
Currie came to meet us. At the sight

gave little cry.
"What under heaven have you been
doing" she asked.
Currie gave me a wink. Looking
for whisky" he answered.
He went to nearby table, took
something from each pocket and
placed them carefully upon 1t. He
then stood looking down at them
proudly.
"A little souvenir Of the nights
work." he remarked, pointing to two
bottles of whisky which he had taken
without our knowing it, from the box
that BARLEY had opened in the vault

white with rage, and he cried, "You
lie!" and would have taken the de-
tective by the throat If BARLEY had
not prevented him.
BARLEY and the detective, whose
name was Black, decided that the
best thing to do with the chauffeur
was to place him in the hands of the
police. When Black learned that the
vault was filled with whisky, he asked
BARLEY to remain and help him guard
1t until the police could relieve him I;
he seemed to fear that the rest Of the
gang would return. Barley told me

meeting anyone, and, breaking into a
run, was soon at the house. / tele-
phoned at once to Roche; and he was
so much startled at my story that
had great difficulty In making him
understand where he was to go, and
what he was to do. At last he agreed
to come at once.
It took me only few moments in
Bartley's car to reach the woods

during the struggle, and now stood
wide open, the lighted interior plainly
visible to anyone without. We were
standing grouped together near the
center of the room, our backs to the
door, when a voice said, up with
your hands, the whole four Of you.
Be quick about 1t! / have you all
covered, and will shoot the first one
that moves"
There was but one thing to do, and
we all did it. With our hands high
in the air, we turned to the doorway
to see who the intruder was. He was
a tall. heavy-set man. with a round
race, holding q revolver in his r1gnr
hand.
Who could this second man be? For
a second thought it must be some
friend Of the chauffeur; but one look
at his astonished face told me he
knew no more who the man was than
we did. BARLEY looked puzzled, yet
a little smile never left his face.
The man stood still for moment
before advancing into the vault 1t
seemed to me that he was startled at
finding four of us there. He came to
the center of the vault, and stopped,
keeping several feet away from us.
Starting with the man on the
right" he said, "come over here, one
by one. l am going to search you.

wondered if he would submit quietly
to being searched. He allowed the
left hand Of the man to go over his
clothing until 1t reached the revolver
in his pocket; then like a flash he
grasped the hand holding the gun at
his chest, and gave 1t such quick
jerk that the weapon fell to the floor.
The fight was on. Both Currie and
myself started to assist him, but Bart
ley called to us to watch the chauf-
feur. l picked up the revolver and
covered the man.
1t was not a long fight, and Bart
ley soon had his antagonist sub
dued. AS he dragged him to his feet,
and began to search him, he stopped
with an amused cry. On the mans
vest was a little badge.

BARLEY explained who he was, and
the detective was delighted at the en-
counter After we had given him
back his gun and helped him brush
himself off, he seated himself on a
box, saying, II will say you work

. We grinned at this. We were much
relieved TO find that he was a detec-
tive, and not one Of the gang engaged
in running whisky. He told us that

the chauffeur had come to the vault
he had waited for him outside; then
the door had swung open and he had
seen a chance to capture what he
thought was the gang.
He pointed at the chauffeur and
said That's the chap, / believe, that

The quantity increased, Roth

Scientists at the United States
Bureau Of Standards announced to-
day they have. developed gun "lo-
cater ffunctioning with such ac:
curacy that within a few moments
after the first enemy salVo, return
fire from lAIner1can( long rifles can
be directed to silence the concealed

The work has been in progress
since, the United States entered
the world war. Devices to detect
hidden guns used by the French
and British have been improved to
a high degree OF efficiency, accord
ing to the announcement. 4,

the general study OF : acoustics, de-
clared the American gun locator lis
q practically infallible guard against
extensive operations OF concealed
batteries.
The, arrangement, he explained,
has a switchboard, similar to tele:
phone equipment, with automatic
listening posts which in warfare
would, be distributed at various
points along the terrain to be pro-
tected. By the difference in time

at the various, listening posts the

map designation I of the enemy
guns to the artillery and fire would
be directed to put them out of com:
mission. %a ~
The noteworthy example of opera
ton of concealed, guns during the
world war was that of the famous
German big Bertha which on
Good Friday; 1918, hurled. shell
into the church of st. Gervais,
Paris, killing 100 worshipers. This
long rifle. throwing projectiles sew
enty-five miles, shelled Paris inter
mfttently during the summer of
1918. It was finally found to have
been fired from the Forest Of St.
Gobain. The Big Bertha" proved
one of the outstanding mysteries
Of the war, the gun never having
been located. although. emplace-
nIents from which it, was fired
were discovered when the Germans
fell back. Er
Another important development
OF acoustics study, DR.. Eckhart
said, pertains to large auditoriunls.
Since the almost universal construc.
ton OF fireproof buildings the
problem Of acoustics has multiplied.
Dr. Eckhart said that it has been
