Justin was smiling but he meant

straight into his heart when she
walked through the gate OF his

I'm glad, too. Kate glanced up
from the paper she was reading.

the city, and hid them In the ware house. Here Smons and his con- federates would repack the various commodities and sell them to dis honest dealers throughout the city.
 Even now with all the knowledge that we had at hand, there were cer
 tain features of the case that pug zled usi How did that gang of crooks know which car to break Into? How could they reseal the car with United States government zeal after having broken the orlgi- nal? We must have an answer to these two questions before we could make an arrest.
 An analysis of the evidence con vineed us that there must be some one on the docks who was in league with the train-robbers. It must be that some of our checkers had been tempted by the desire to get some easy money and had fallen in with Simons' scheme.
 Ever careful to avoid suspicion. we had three of our men come in from an outlying district and sent to the docks. Arrangements were made with Colonel Marble to have them as signed to the checking department
 It was our good fortune that Smith one of the new men, discovered the crooked checker. Working with him, Smith noticed that when valuable foodstuffs were loaded by this check CT, he would put chalk mark similar to a Greek cross on the ends of that particular car. so that the their having q seal press in their pos would not waste time in breaking into the wrong car. This man also supplied the crew with lead seals and he was the one responsible for their having a sealpress in their pos session. He had succeeded in secur- ing a second seal-press by pretend ing that he had lost his original one Che had given it to the crooks).
 Sometimes cur department would collect what we considered a mass of evidence in a case, only to hear Major Meadows of the Judge Advo- cate's department say:
 "Tts all very well as far as 1t goes. but it is not sufficient proof to ob- tain a conviction. It is weak here."
 Now Major Meadows demanded ab- solute proof. In order to comply with his wishes, we arrested the crooked checker; then we loaded car with marked boxes, arranging that it should go out on the train the crooks were in charge or Exactly as we planned, the thieves broke into that car, stole several of the mark ed boxes, carried them down the em- bankment, and hid them.
 Meanwhile, we kept a sharp watch on them, and allowed them to place the stolen goods in the other car and return it to Bordeaux. We even all lowed Simons to unload the car and carry the supplies into his warehouse.
 Then we called in the French po- lice and raided Simons' place. We found his warehouse full of Ameri- can goods; in fact, it required all of seven motor trucks to haul the stuff back to the docks. It inventoried several thousands of dollars. How much he had already sold. no one could tell.
 We arrested the entire crew the station master of the small place where the car was reloaded, and all of Simons men, as wei as Simons himself. Simons went to jail for fifteen years. The others received sentences that varied from two to fifteen years. Our investigation could not connect the woman or the head porter with the thefts; they were allowed to go with reprimand from the judge.

When the buttereups dance, the dais-

When the violet raises her sweet blue

With a grateful look to the smiling

And the brook laughs low in deep de-

For his blossoming banks are lovely

O, a gladstone time is May
In his little brown jacket, the hum

From ehalice to chalice goes busily
The fresh decked flowers sway.
That vain little cupid, the butterfly,
In his gay new suit goes Haunting by
And over the meadows he wings about
to see what sweet young flowers
are out.
On Natures holiday.
And May is the time when the days
grow long.
When, az twilight. we hear the rob

At the dreamy end Of day.
While down in the orchard the good.

Are echoed around from a hundred
throats.
And the uieht-wind catches and echu
