couldn't see through 1t at all. And
there's glass on the front OF it as we'll
as on the back, so don't believe he can
hear"
1t still seemed rather incredible, even
after Martin knew how the trick was
done. There was a thin screen of the
atrical gauze between the two plates of
glass. You could see it was painted,
since it wasn't equally transparent all
over, and the strong crosS-lighting
from just above the frame, which ac-
counted, no doubt, for the curious FL
tered look of the light in the observa-
tion post, would be enough to prevent
anything being seen through it, unless
there was a light back here
He checked his impulse to ask Rhoda
what she'd been doing for hours and
hours in the room they we're looking
into and what she meant by saying that
Conley had always come in at the right
time. What his mind fastened upon was
her conclusion that ForsterS bodyguard,
stationed here, where his eye could
command the whole room, was not able
to hear what the actors in the scenes
he watched were saying. If that were
true, the converse was probably true
also, that Forster wouldn't be able to
hear any ordinary sounds He must be
timorous old rabbit of a rascal" he
remarked rather low, but in his natural
voice.
Rhoda was rather startled at this
and admoniShed him to be careful, but
she smiled in agreement with his char
acteriZation of Forster And when she
saw that Martins voice hadn't reached
the old mans ears, she said in tone
that matched his: "He thought for a
minute this afternoon that I'd come
up to shoot him; made me take my
hands out of my pockets. And Conley
was in the r0Onn tbr0I1oh that little
door down there almost before I'd had
time to do it. Only I don't see" she
added, why he wouldn't want him to
listen as well as look
Il thinksI do" Martin told her. "The
old fellow lives in terror of physical vio-
| lence. you see. They know that down.
stairs. I imagine he's something Of a
crook. He must have to have lots of
talks with people he's afraid to be left
| alone with. Well, a spy who could hear
everything they said would have a
pretty good hold on the old man, If
ever he wanted to use it. Blackmail,
don't you see? But he can watch from
up here, ready to come in, if he sees
anybody make a pass at him, without
knowing what it's all about"
1t still seemed queer to be talking this
way about man as plainly in their
view and as near as Forster was and
how he startled them both by swift
glance straight In their direction and a
perceptible notion of the head that
must have been some sort Of signal.
They both started back precipitately
and Rhoda collided with the table.
which moved with a protesting gr1lnt
much louder than their voices had been.
It's all right" Rhoda said. "He
didn't hear"
II think heard something, though"
Martin said very quietly in her ear. Be-

Cuts Cost of Stage Scenes.

Austrian theaters are using an in
vention which greatly reduces the cost
of stage scenes. All the drops and
flies present white background on
which the scenic effects are projected
from magic lantern. So far as the
audience is concerned the setting cam
not be distinguished from one made in
the ordinary way, and the actors can
stand within two feet of the scenery
without casting a shadow. A system
was devised for adjusting the slides SO
that the lantern in the back wings need
be only two feet in front of the cur
tain, the setting being cast on the back
ground at very sharp angle

TwENTY-FoURTH INsTALLMENT.


THAT pause had a galvanic effect
upon the pair in the closet.
Martins arm was still claSped
i around Rhoda and the embrace
which had begun as, a strictly
utilitarian one had changed its quality
little as Martin shut the door. If the
steps had gone by it's reasonably GER
tain that he would have kissed her, and
she was aware, by the sixth sense of
lovers, of this intention Of his when the
steps stopped outside the door. The con-
sequence Of that awareneSS was that
she broke sharply away from him and
huddled back against the wall. Martin,
a little chilled by her action, instead of
following to a position beside her backed
away in the opposite direction. His po-
sitfon was better than Rhoda's since, If
the door opened, he would be behind It.
Why didn't it open? The next mo-
ment the click of a key supplied the
answer. For some reason this closet was
supposed to be kept locked. What sort
of closet was it? Did they keep any
thing special shut up in here? 1t SEEM
ed ordinary enough. 1t was pitch dark
now, of course, but there were clothes
hooks behind Martin; what felt like an
overcoat hanging from one of them. And
his right hand, reaching into the corner,
rested on a cane. That might come in
handy, he thought, and he gripped it.
The door swung open, letting in quite
lot of light from the corridor, but cut
ting of everything but the inner face
of the door. He heard a gasp from
Rhoda and a mans voice. Conleysl
There was click of switch and the
closet light came on overhead.
80 this is where you've got to, is it?"
Conley said. II had an idea you were
still on the premises. Well, the old man
will be glad We haven't lost you" He
added with sudden accession of trucu-
lence that brought another gasp from
the girl. Come out of therei"
AT that Martin shifted his grip on
the cane. noting as he did so that its
rubber-Shod ferrule was heavily weight
ed, and kicked shut the closet door with
slam.
The unexpected sound of that door
slammed to behind him must have
frozen Conley for an instant, for he and
Rhoda presented as Martin first saw
them. the effect of a tableau vivant,
Rhoda backed fiat against the wall
only was 1t a wall or was that middle
panel in it a door? Conley gripping her
by one arm in the midst of his arrested
attempt to haul her away. The next in
slant he turned, saw Martin, and jump
ed for him.
Martin gripped the cane tighter and
met the rush with backhand stroke at
the side of his aSSailant's head. Thanks
to the thick rubber cap, with which the
ferrule was shod, the impact was prac-
tically noiSeless, but the big detective
wilted and went down.
Rhoda and Martin gazed at each other
aghast across him.

SAVANNAH, Ca, october linn
pressive ceremonies at sea marked the
climax of exercises held here Wednes-
day to commemorate the 150th anniver-
versary of the death of Gen. Casimir
Pulaski the Polish patriot, who was
mortally wounded while leading his
troops against the British at the seige
Of Savannah on october 9, 1779.
Riding a choppy. threatening sea, the
United States cruisers Lawrence and
Humphreys and the cutters Pulaski and
Yamacraw bore a distinguished COM
pany of men and women to the ap-
proximate point at which Gen. Pulaski
was buried beneath the waves of the
Atlantic. Wreaths were dropped upon
the stormy waters and devotional exer-
cises were conducted by Polish priests in
memory of their fellow countfyman.
Gen. Pulaski was fatally wounded while
leading a Cavalry patrol against the
British, who held Savannah, and died
after being placed aboard the brig Wasp.
He was buried at sea somewhere be-
tween Savannah and Charleston.
Take Part in Ceremonies.
John B. Stetson, United States AM
bassador to Poland; Tytu Filipowicz
Polish Minister to the United States
who had been raised to the rank of
Ambassador to represent his country at
the PulaSK1 exercises; Capt. Louis
Stable, naval attache of the French le-
cation in Washington; Count Franciszek
Pulaski, direct descendant of Gen.
Pulaski; city and State officials and
representatives of Southern governors
took part in the ceremonies. The me-
mortal exercises were marked by notable
addresses, including an impressive
speech by Ambassador Filipowicz,
"u it were at all possible to reward
fully those who have made the supreme
sacrifice for the good of human So
ciety," said the Polish Ambassador.
such reward could certainly lie in
but one thing, namely, realization
OF the happiness and progress that have
been born of such a deed. Looking
upon Savannah, so typical in many
ways of the achievements of your
country, one cannot but feel that such
has been the lot of Gen. Pulaski One
hundred and fifty years have proved
that his efforts have not been in vain"
