Stanislaus, a jeweled sword and much
money.
RY this time the King of Prussia was
able to receive Stieber back into
court favor. For the day had come
when the growing Germany was turn
ing eyes to its powerful neighbor on
the east, France.
They were, primarily, pair of great
cold sea-blue eyes set deep under
shaggy brows In an enormous dome of
forehead, the head Of a thinker OF giant
scope.
With it went the rugged face of the
man of action. There was look about
that face not unlike that of one Of the
two mastiffs the man kept by his side,
and wherever the man went he lowered
head and shoulders above any assembly
of men.
He was Prince Otto Leopold Won Bis
marck, Prussias Iron Chancellor" "
whose ruthless genius was to do for
Germany about what Napoleon had
done for France.
1t was he who now, so to speak, used
Stieber as his left hand. And from
then on the two worked together.
Bismarck invited Stieber to break
fast one morning. 1t was Gargan-
tuan breakfast, at least Bismarck s
share of it. e. began with an omelet
Of six eggs, beafsteak large enough
for two, great cups of coffee followed,
then slabs of roast poultry along with
these went platefuls of potatoes and
bread, the whole was washed down
with large bottle of Rhine wine.
Not until all this food was out of
the way did Bismarck take up the
matter on which he had summoned
Stieber.
Stieber was to Survey" France as
he had Bohemia.
Il give you free hand" Bismarck
said. "As much money, as many men
and women, as much time as you think
necessary"
II shall want 18 months" Stieber
said after pondering awhile. Much
money Also many, many men and
women"
They are yours"
The survey began with a trip to
Paris, where Bismarck took Stieber on a
state visit to Napoleon III. The visit
was to be meeting of monarchs, for
Evening star., 1928-10-21
Alexander II of Russia was also COM

Alexander II of Russia was also COM
ing.
Needless to say, there was politics be-
hind the scheduled festivities. Ma
poleon III wanted Alexander II. as his
ally; consummation Bismarck wanted
to Illustrate.
On the special train with Bismarck,
Won Moltke and other notables went
Stieber. AS the train crossed into
France, letter in cipher was brought
to Stieber. He opened it and read:
"The moment you arrive, come to my
lodging in Rue des Halles."
Tt was from subordinate and al
though the man was in charge of
Stieber's spies in Paris, he would not
have dared thus address his chief was
there not something in the.air.
From the railroad station in Paris
Stieber went to hotel.
He had brought to Paris black hand
bag destined later to become famous for
its assortment of false boards and wigs.
Such DISCUSSES are now, of course, dis
carded; but this was an age when men
still luxuriated in boards and long hair,
and Stieber was no novice at disguiSeS.
Half an hour later from the servants
exit of the hotel a bearded, shambling
porter issued and made his way to the
Rue des Halles.
Stieber's French was so adequate
gift for languages Is one of the talents
of born Spy-that when he entered his
agents apartment it took the man some
time to recognize his chief in the
French porter.
X X
IT was an interesting situation the
subordinate outlined. 1t seems he
had insinuated himself into the secret
councils of some Polish refugees who
were plotting to assassinate the Gear.
Lots had been drawn to decide which
of them was to fire the bullet.
A young fanatic by the name of
Berezowski had drawn the black cross.
The attempt was to be made the fol-
lowing day when the Czar rode out
with Napoleon III for the festivities.
Stieber's eyes contemplated possibili-
ties.
"Stay at Berezowski's side until mid
night. Then report to me here" he
ordered.
Back to his hotel Stieber went, and,
without taking time to change his dress,
went to Bismarck's room.

Why do so many, many babies Of to-
day escape all the little fretful spells
and infantile ailments that used to
worry mothers through the day, and
keep them up half the night?
If you don't know the answer, you
haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas-
toria. 1t is sweet to the taste, and
sweet in the little stomach. And it's
gentle influence seems felt all through
the tiny system. Not even distaste-
full dose of castor oil does so much
good.
Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege-
table, so you may give it freely, at
first sign Of collie; or constipation; or
diarrhea. Or those many times when
you just don't know what is the mat
ter. For real Sickness call the doc
tor, always. At other times, few
drops of Fletcher's Castoria.
The doctor often tells you to do just
that; and always says Fletcher's.
Other preparations may be just as
pure, just as free from dangerous
drugs, but why experiment? Besides,
the book on care and feeding Of babies
that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is
worth it's weight in gold!

Chromite Wins Place
as Lining for Furnace

ngton.-Although the United
States uses great quantities of mag
nestle, which makes an excellent fur
mace lining but otherwise is practi-
cally useless, it's price has gone SO
high in recent years that chromite Is
being imported from South Africa,
India and New Caledonia as sub
stitute.
The imported ore contains chromium,
the metal which renders steel rust
proof when used as an alloy and pro-
vides an extremely hard wearing sur
face for moving parts in machinery
when applied as plating. Just why
this rather soft metal produces such
hard surface has not been deter
mined, but some experts are inclined
to believe that the chemical action Of
the plating process serves to deposit
it from solution as hydride.
While tests have shown magnesite
to be superior for lining steel fur
naces, the degree of difference is
slight and the economic reasons pro-
vide the only apparent explanation for
the use of chromite. The price of
magnesite, which is mined near Col
vile, WASH, and in California, has
advanced since 1913 from less than
SIT ton to more than $50. IN the
meantime, the cost of chromite, hav-
ing declined from high war prices, is
now 500 to $24 a ton, as compared
with about SIS before the war.

EXECUTIONER CAN
WORK INFORMALLY
Berlin Headsman May Discard
Dress Coat

Berlin.-Although strong feeling
against capital punishment exists in
German intellectual circles, the newly
projected penal code contains no abo-
lition clause and aims merely at
establishing uniform process Of exc
cutlon.
The law now in force DEGREES that
the death penalty in the reich must
be inflicted by means of beheading,
but in parts Of Germany different
methods of decapitation, based on an-
cient local usage, are still employed.
In the Rhine province, Hanover, Ham
burg, Bavaria and Saxony, more or
less modern form of the guillotine is
in use, but in Mecklenburg, Anhalt,
Reuss and Lippe the executioner still
performs his grim Office with the
''sword of justice" In Prussia proper
the sword was replaced about 100
years ago by the AK.
A few weeks ago, when Karl
Boettcher was executed by the ak in
Berlin for a double murder, new
ordinance first came into force which
permitted the eXecutioner to perform
his office in a dark suit, instead of
in the hitherto obligatory black swal-
low-tail coat, with choker, top hat
and white gloves.
Another old custom which may soon
be done ANY, with is the granting of
prisoners last wish. There is moth
ing in the German penal code to estab-
lish prisoners right to this, but in
practice it is generally granted unless
it is senseless or extravagant. One
prisoner asked to "learn to play the
piano" before being put to death.
How ancient is the custom of let
ting the prisoner choose his "last
mear' may be seen from the fact that
in Breslau museum there is a me-
dieval sword of justice with a special
pocket in the scabbard for knife
and fork, which the person under
sentence of death was permitted to
use on the eve of execution.
