While DR.. Stein was saying this, he
was fighting fly which persisted in
alighting upon the big wart on his nose.
Finally the fly lighted upon the seat of his
Office chair, and Stein moved sheet of
Ay-paper off his desk onto the chair. He
forgot all about it until a few moments
later, when he sat down and quickly
jumped up again with the Ay-paper stuck
to his trousers seat. "Och,-what bies-
ness" he roared, and Tillie ran out of
his Office"
The two laughed heartily, and Miss
Watson added, otis such crazy place
to live in; it's more fun than basket of
monkeys"
Miss True's eyes danced with merri-
ment as she said, impulsively, "My,-I
almost wish that could board there my
self. 1t would be great solvent for dull
care. One must surely forget their wor-
ries in the midst of such an environment"
"Oh yes, indeed! But even though one
forgets their ordinary routine of troubles,
there is the constant expectancy of some
new freakish prank, or absurd occurrence,
and the possibility that it may involve
yourself keeps one sitting upon the anx-
ious seat. But it's SO Interestingly funny
and diverting, that 1 just wouldn't feel
at home if I took rooms elsewhere"
Miss Watson glanced at her wrist
watch, and then at DePomp's private Of
flee door. "Gracious, Mr.. DePomp must
have forgotten your presence. I'll re-
mind him." She gestured as if to arise,
but Justice bade her not to disturb him.
81 am very much interested in your board
ing house." said Miss True.
The steno's eyes twinkled, and she went
on confdingly; "Just the other night, af-
ter we had all gone to our rooms and
the house was quiet, Mrs. Denton, the
landlady came and tapped upon my door,
and when I answered, she came in and
remarked: "Miss Watson, Pm not snoop-
ing, but l suspect that the unusual silence
upstairs is ominous. Those "U" boys are
Matching some new game think. Come,
let's go up and take a look"
"Of course went with her, and just
as we arrived upon the third floor we
heard subdued laughter, while down the
hall we saw a mattress rolled up and tied,
standing upon end, and moving about
evidently trying to get into room. l
hunched Mrs. Denton, and whispered,
"Great snakes" She winked, and replied
"I thought as much! !"
We could see bare feet and tuft of
hair at bottom and top of the animated
bedding, but that was all, so we stepped
quietly to the students room and Mrs.
Denton flung open the door. And such
sight! A pillow fight was in progress,
with feathers scattered everywhere. Two
of the boys were in nightgowns and had
pillow slips tied over their heads, "A la
Klu Klux Klan;" while the other two
were defending themselves, one with
busted pillow, and the other with bam-
boo squirt gun filled with water from the
washbowl.
"Here! Here! Stop it What does
this mean!" demanded the landlady.

but somehow they cajoled her with prom

HISTORY'S MYSTERIES
Selected
Selected


which deals with the intrigues and
plots that honeycombed the courts of
Europe during the Eighteenth century, is
filled with the accounts of number of
unusual personages-but it is doubtful if
any of these are quite as remarkable as
the ones connected with the career of the
Chevalier d'Eon, whose exploits were di-
rectly responsible for much of the glory
which surrounds the name of Louis XIV.
Born at Tonnere, France, in 1928,
Charles Genevieve Louis Auguste Andree
Timothee d'Eon de Beaumont developed
a talent early in life for impersonating
members of either sex with facility which
appears to have been little less than mar
velous. In fact, the mystery which sur
rounds the true sex of this adventurer-or
observation-disclosures more startling with
the examination of each exploit. Accord
ing to contemporary historians, d'Eon was
able to appear either as man or as a
woman, with an ease which rendered pen
etration of his disguise impossible, and his
ability in this line gained for him (the
masculine pronoun being used advisedly)a
position at the head of the secret agents
employed by Louis, and it was not long
before he became the most accomplished
spy who eyer delved into the secrets of
a court or OWNED the intention of a ruler.
Part of the time he would be the
Chevalier d'Eon, dashing, debonair and
fearless Then the chevalier would allow
it to be know that he was going some
where on a visit, and a beutiful woman
-versed in all the arts which make men
open their hearts and their lips, forgetful
of the seal of secrecy which they would
never lift to their closest male friend
would appear, and another report would
soon be on its way to the private sanctum :
of the king.
No one suspected that the dashing chew
alier and the Airtatious coquette were one
and the same, though when the exposure
was fanally made, even his enemies had
the grace to say that d'Eon had fought
over half of Europe and firted over the
other half" In Paris, in London, in Rome
and Genoa, the chevalier added success
after success to his long list of victories,
prying into secrets and ferreting out the
truth when the greatest spies of FIVE king
doms had utterly failed.
But it was while at the court of the
Empress Elizabeth of Russia, in the fem
mime role, that the chevalier achieved his
crowning triumph. Europe was then on
the verge of the Seven Years war, and
Louis desired an alliance with Russia.
One after another the veterans of the dip
lomatic service returned to Paris, stoop-
shouldered and beaten. The imperial
palace, they said, was closed to them. The
empress would have none of their advice
She was adamant in her decision to stand
aloof in the struggle which was approach
ing.
As last resort, d'Eon was dispatched
to Moscow, and before many weeks
had passed, it began to be rumored about
the Russian capital that her majesty had a
new maid of honor who appeared to have
a strange hold over the queen. The girl,
as charming as she was pretty, was care
full not to play her cards page g, Co., 81

lease the boy in the mattress, after they
had thumped him upon the floor couple
of times, "accidently of course, they said
it was"
Justice was convulsed with laughter, as
well as Miss Watson, who, in a moment,
continued-"We went down stairs, think
ing it was all over for the night. But
not so! Trust bunch of students for
that! Why,-I had just got into bed,
when the most unearthly yelps and ter
rife rattle came down the stairs. So I
got up and peeked out of the door, and
there was DR.. STEMS dog, "Fritzie," rush
ing by with dozen tin cans tied to his
tail. And oh, my goodness, what racket!
Mrs. Denton rushed upstairs, furious,
while DR.. Stein rescued his dog and un-
tied the string of tinware. "Poor Fritzie!
Vat a pesky beezness dey make nit you!
Vat shameless bunch of rowdies! Nit?"
While Miss Watson and Justice were
still laughing over this last boarding
house prank, the private Office door opened
and Mr.. DePomp smilingly apologized
for keeping Miss True waiting saying, as
he bade her enter, ~ hope Miss Watson
has made your waiting pleasant"
eyes indeed!" replied Justice, as she
bade her new friend adieu.
Just then the girl suddenly realized that
she had done all of the talking herself,
and had not enticed single fact from
her very pleasant but mysterious auditor
as she had contemplated doing. What
would Miss True think about her after
all, and she felt the surge of hot blood to
her cheeks. "Oh shucks What "a rattle
brain 1 must seem to her,-and yet she
laughed and seemed interested" Then
retrieving her wad of chewing gum, she
sat down at her typewriter and her fin
gers flew across the keys at tremendous
speed.
Once inside the private Office, Justice
made known her mission, which was the
solicitation of a position as janitress in
one of DePomp's tenement houses, for
poor widow. Her mission was more than
successful, for the big real estate and in
vestment prince was feeling much elated
over a deal Just closed with his previous
caller.
"To be sure, Miss True! Send the lady
lo-
up with good job I'm just taking
over small State bank, and she can be
janitress there!"
"My-that is splendid of you, Mr.. De-
Pomp! And 1 wish you great success in
the venture; and thank you very much
indeed for your kind offer of the job!"
The usually brusque Mr.. DePomp, al
ways anxious to gain reputation for
philanthropy, smiled blandly and began
"You see this bank venture of mine, is
to encourage thrift among the poor, and
help them, to rise to more comfortable
position in life"
"Yes2" interrupted Justice.
"It's good, sound business for both me
and the depositors, for we all of us realize
some interest upon our investments as well
as saving our money"
81 presume that it takes a great deal
of capital to finance bank, does it not7"
queried Justice.
"Well, this is only small one,-capital
of twenty-five thousand, replied DePomp

gon Man Made Last
November.

Tillamook, Ore, Jan. 13.-(By A.
7. MEN robed in white entered the
home of Mrs. Nevada Standish here
and branded her on the breast with a
hot metal cross, according to reports
which District Attorney T. Fl. Goyne
admitted today that he had informally
investigated. No formal charge has
been made, said Goyne, but he is will
ing to order a grand jury investiga-
ton IL Mrs. Standish should ask it.
According to the reports reaching
Goyne, the alleged attack occurred
about a month ago. He said he had
spoken to persons who said they saw
the scar of the cross on the woman's
breast. Mrs. Standish has been twice
tried on a charge of being implicated
in moonshine operations in this
county, and was acquitted after talk
Ing an appeal, according to Goyne.
Two masked and hooded men ap.

home shortly after midnight Novem-

gave her attorney, Webster Holmes.

by Holmes.
Mrs. Standish was at home alone
with her 3 1-2-year son, her hus-
band being i'll in hospital in Port
land" said Holmes. "A neighbor-
hood woman had been visiting her in
the evening and left about IL 80. Mrs.
Standish retired about midnight and
shortly afterward heard a knock at the
door. On opening it she saw two
men masked SO that she could not
recognize them.
"They both sprang in, and one of
the pair seized her. placing his hand
over her mouth. The other took from
his pocket a small cross. Holding
this with a pair of pliers, he heated
it with matches, and when it was hot
the men applied it to Mrs. Standish's $
breast.
"One of the men said. You have

nothing about it and left the house.
Owing to the fact that Mrs.
Standish had been indicted with other
persons on a charge of moonshining.

in which she was finally acquitted,
she was afraid to report the matter
to the authorities and nothing was
done about it.

Mrs. Standish yesterday the brand
