THE RED LOCK

face relaxed a trife, and its half
haunting resemblance to a face that
dwelt-and would ever dwell-in his
memory again stole across the mind
of the watcher,
But Black Bogus had not smoked
long until it became apparent that he
was anything but man at his ease.
Every sound outside received his
strained attention, and when not lis
tening, he smoked viciously.
At last he shuffled himself erect,
felt of his elbow where it had rested
heavily upon the larger box, knocked
the ashes from his pipe, dropped an
arm across his knee, bent forward
and seemed lost in thought.
Shifting his pose after time, he
Strengthened, put away his pipe,
reached into the inside pocket of his
faded coat and drew out a thick
bunch of greenbacks-a handful of
bills that appeared to be an assort-
ment of tens and tWenties.
The woodsman guardedly shifted
his position so as to get better look.
AS he did so, his knee accidentally
jostled the rubbish heap.
With an oath Black Bogus chucked
the money back into his pocket and
leaped at one bound into a corner out
of range with the window, a heavy
revolver balanced in his hand, his eyes
sweeping every nook and Granny from
which the alarming sound might have
come.
At that tense instant a bat, darting
about under the rafters, blinded by
the light, dashed itself against the
cabin gable and fell almost at the des-
perado's feet.
Damn the thing!" he growled, plac-
ing his foot upon the half-stunned
creature and grinding it to death, at
the same time thrusting the heavy re-
volver into his pocket and turning
back to the light
He slouched down on the smaller
box; took the money out of his pocket
again and began a close inspection of
each bill, one by one. Ten of the bills
the ones that appeared TO the man
watching him to be the newest-he
laid out upon the box. The others he
put back in his pocket.
Then an astonishing thing happened
to the ten new bills. He took from
his greasy, wrinkled trousers a plug
of tobacco and shipped off a chew
with his powerful teeth; drew from

Fronklin,a Thrift

We hear a great deal of Benjamin
Franklin as the great exponent of
thrift. Historians. recall, however,
that the great Notwithstanding was
not always thrifty enough. In his re-
fusal to patent his famous stove, he
was wasteful of his own and the pub
lies profit. He wished his ideas to be
given free to the world, and so did not
protect his invention; an Englisman
made some changes for the worse in
the Franklin fireplace, secured a pa
tent on it and reaped a fortune from
the sales.

Shakespeare

Four portraits of Shakespeare are
sufficiently diverse to add piquancy to
the question, "What did Shakespeare
really look like2" The painting called
the FELTON, portrait, first discovered in
a brokers' shop in the Minories in
1888, by "a gentleman of fashion, ;"
shows him beardless except for
slight tuft of hair under the lower lip
and a small fair mustache. The
Lumley portrait, which was originally
in possession of Lord Lumley, a con-
temporary of the poet, is more in
keeping with the generally accepted
fancy of Shakespeare's appearance.
He is shown with a f1orid complexion,
a close-crepped beard and small
brown mustache

bill and secured them between his
hands, rumpling and crumpling them
in every conceivable way. He rolled
the corners between his fingers and
thumbs; bent the corners down; twist

wear them out.
It soon appeared that to wear them
was the very thing he was attempting
to do, for as he worked them and
broke them in his powerful hands,
they lost their newness and took on
the look of bills that had been long
in circulation. He was making old
money out of new. Light began to
dawn on the man watching him.
An hour or more he spent at the
task. When at last 1t appeared to be
finished to his satisfaction, ne exam

They appeared to pass the very
painstaking and critical inspection.
for, with satisfied grunt, he picked
up his pipe, relighted it and smoked
nervously.
Another hour or more he smoked
and fidgeted; finally turned the lamp
low; strobe to the door, opened it

had in mind, for with muttered
grunt, he closed the door; strobe I'm

Geese Long DOr1esticated

Geese are, apparently, in all their
various breeds, descended from the
common Grayling goose of Europe, a
species which, until very recent years
at least still bred sparingly in the
British isles. It Is not known when
this bird was FIRST domesticated, but 1t
apparently dates from very early
times. Their chief value lay in their
feathers, which were plucked five
times yearly, and in their livers, which
formed one of the chief delicacies of
the Germans. when Caesars armies

Syracuse, in Sicily, is the one place
in the world where papyrus still grows
wild. Even in Egypt, home of its
origin, it is extinct And the origin of
that papyrus is a charming episode in
history, writes Henry James Forman.

 The Italian government is said to hold, however. in common with some other European powers, that such a treaty should not re-affirm the three mile limit principle. Owing to the range of modern guns and other con- alterations. a six-nile limit is fav- ored.

CURE MARKET

Liberty Bonds today profited by n
 turn of funds into tax exempt se- curities, resulting from the fear that the s2,060, 900, 900 bonus measure, re ported by the house ways and means committee, would limit tax reduc- ton. An enlarged demand sent all issues higher, with large blocks of 3rd and 4th i-4s changing hands. Prices of domestic bonds moved ir- regularly, with trading featured by heavy liquidation of Kelly Springfield Ss. Moving in sympathy with a de- cline of common and preferred stock, the bonds fell s-i points to 95 1-4. a new low price for tho year. Selling was based on uneasiness over main- tcnance of the eompany's per cent preferred dividend.
