he came in and bolted out again?" He
knew before that" said Elk. Didn't the
young lady hear that talk about the
engraver's shop some days ago?"
From the lawyers fat Wade put
through a call to his lordship, but there
was no reply. He called up the hall
porter, who said:
His lordship came in and went out
again.
Did he come in alone?" asked Wade,
The man did not reply, and Wade re-
peated the question.

They went out together"
Wade called in person at the fiat in

We'll, not exactly in those words.
What he said was: I've never known
the river so cold And then / came
in. and he stopped"
Wade nodded. So Golly was the
visitor! And he had been to the fiat
before. That was a link in the chain.
Weary as he was Wade had to return
to duty to formulate his charge against
Mrs Oaks. When she was brought in
from her cell she was in a most con-
ciliatory mood.
II don't know why you should perse-

Shipping a Great Gun.

An interesting piece of freight han
ding was recently accomplished by the
New Haven Railroad when a gun and
carriage weighing 365 tons were sue
cessfully moved from Worcester. Mass,
to Maybrook. N. Y. It was the biggest
job of the kind ever undertaken by this
company. Two similar guns were sent
over the lines previously, but they were
shipped piecemeal, so that the weight
was distributed. but in the last instance
the gun, carriage and all that goes with
it were transported in one piece. At
Maybrook 1t was shipped onto another
line and carried to Aberdeen, Md. The
special railway carriage on which the
gun is mounted was 1925 inches, more
than IS feet in length. with IA pairs of
wheels-two pairs of eight-wheel trucks

Artists at Taking" Furniture.

The workmen of France and italy
are exceedingly clever in the business
of initiating ancient furniture and SIM
liar pieces of old art craft, and in their
initiating they are thorough and syS-
tematic to the extent that the copy
is often as handsome a piece of work as
the original. Persons who engage In
this questionable art are artisans of the
first water. They make use of old wood
and when it is desired to give piece
the appearance of years of actual Serv-
ice. they put the piece into actual use
where they will get real wear and. tear.
In addition to this they make use of
pieces which they have gathered at var
ious times in their search for old wool

And as for your poor dear sister, II you
ever had one, I'm quite sure she was
neither poor nor dear. That story

He saw her blink at this and the
color left her face.
II don't know what you mean. Mr..
Wade" she stammered. Its all mys-
terry to me-
Wade nodded to the, sergeant and
briefly stated the charge.
You'll give me bail, won't you,
Mr.. Wade?" She was almost fearful.
You wouldn't keep a woman of my age
and respectable character in a dirty
police cell all night?"
THE cells here are very clean," said
Wade coldly And besides, Mrs. Oaks,
who would bail you?" And then, sud-
denly: Eyes, my good friend, I'll accept
your husbands bail II he'll put in an
appearance. You had better send for
him.
She was taken aback at this.
IT don't know where Golly is. You
know that. I haven't seen him."

pie" said Wade YEARLY. You ought to

don Bridge. 1 hope he doesn't suffer
from rheumatism"
Her face was set. She shot one VEN
omous look at Wade and opened her
lips as If to speak. Then turning on
her heel she followed the matron down
the passage that led to the cells.
Wade returned home that night so
tired that he was asleep almost before
he knew he was in bed. He woke after
five hours to find the lank form of In
spector Elk by his bedside.

|HE bearded man, whose masque-
rade as a police Sereant had
completely fooled both Wade and
L Elk, went up the stairs, reached
the top, and backed slowly into
the adjoining room. Still covering
them with his pistol, he stopped and
felt along the nange of the door
Hes shutting the door on u.s."
It was the bank managers voice
shrill with terror.
He's feeling for the safety-bolt. We
shall be smothered!"
It was at that moment that John
Wade jerked out his pistol and fired.
He heard cry of pain and the clatteI
of the bearded mans automatic as il
hit the foqr. The great steel door was
closing slowly. In moment Wade was
up the steps and had wedged his
shoulder between door and Intel. At
his first move towards the stairs, the
bearded man had fed.
The alarm-bell!" gasped the mana
ger.
He pushed past Elk, sprawled over
the desk. and CROPPED underneath. In
stantly the quiet street echoed with
the clang of the alarm.
A city policeman was first to appear.
In his hurry, the thief had left the
outer doors of the bank wide open. The
policeman reported thaC car nau

corner. BY the time Wade left the
building, the street was filled with uni
formed men, and, a few minutes later,
the chief of the division rushed in.
"Cardlin? No, don't know any such
person." he said. What did he. look
iike?"
Wade described the bearded man,
and the police chief shook his head.
There isn't such a man-not in this
division at any rate. and, If he were q
sergeant, / should know him.
Half-an-hour later two very depressed
police officers drove along the embank-
ment.
THE laugh is on u.s." said Elk
gloomily. AT the same time, it would
all have happened, if we hadn't turned
UP. He didn't expect us. but he was
pretty quick on the uptake. I'd give
= months salary-almost anybody's
salary-to lay my right hand, or even
my left, on Mr. Whiskers"
Wade said nothing: to him that
adventure had one redeeming feature.
The bearded man had unconSciously
offered him the one clue that he needed.
Wade and Elk went at once to Mr..
Bru6e's fiat and found him waiting up
for them. Wade told him Of the theft

 So the brother made the trip to Picking now Pciping. under the name of Chang Tso-Lin. And in stead of getting his head cut off, he was appointed overlord of the three Manchurian provinces. The mas querader came back to Harbin and then it was too late to reveal the ruSe.
 Favored Chang Ching Hui
 The real Chang Tso-Lin the story goes. was willing to let well enough alone and this explains why the man who is known to the world as Chang Tso-Lin always was so partial to the man known as Chang Ching Hui. The latter was appointed to the gov ernorship of Harbin and had other favors bestowed upon him by the So-callcd Chang Tso Lin.
 And last year the brother Chang ChingHui, according to the story, hat is the man who was known to the world as Chang Tso-Lin, came to his end in a bomb explosion.

French Navy Will Cost
 S100.000,000 During 1930

Paris, Sept. 2 (P}-The French navy will cost the tax payers of the country approximately $100, 0,000,000 in 1880, just $4,OOO,OO more than in 1929, if figures adopted by the finance committee of the chamber Of deputies are approved by parlia- ment.
 The increased cost is attributed to higher cost of material and inCreaS- ed expense of maintaining personnel. Of the entire appropriation, approXi- mately 54 per cent will be used in new construction work, d slightly higher percentage than in 1929, eN- plained by the fact that the three year construction program adopted in 1926 has Jagged, and the appro- priation will enable speeding up of necessary rcplaCcments.
