cement sticking tight to the wood.

No one would think of trying to get to the

NNE of the best hide-outs for money, Old
- coins, or anything that you treasure yet
do not wish to keep in plain sight, is the flower
pot arrangement.
This is nothing than ordinary flower
pot with wooden disc cut small enough to fit
an inch or more below the top. In this disc
are bored two or three small holes for artificial
flowers or plants. These are rubbed with good
liquid glue on the ends, then inserted In the
holes. A small amount of Portland cement Il
mixed with water then, and with theswood disc
in place, this is built upon it to resemble earth.
The pot should be creased from the wood up
to the top inside to prevent the cement from
sticking.

INsTALLMENT III.

- HE train had not sped many miles on
it's way that evening before Vic and
Helene began to browse in their
seats. Sam was busy making up the
berths at the other end Of the car,
but wlhen he saw how sleepy they
were he chased them to another~seat and
began to prepare their berths for the night
Vic was so sleepy that the long-awaited ex-
perience of climbing the ladder to the upper
berth was not half appreciated Once up there
he fumblingly shut the curtains, got his clothes
OF somehow, and soon was fast asleep. Helene
was too excited to go to sleep quite SO quickly,
but the rhythmic clickety-clack Of the wheels
ON the rails soon lulled her into slumber
In the morning came the fun Of their first
meal in the dining car. Their eyes alternately
watched the scenery outside, the other diners
at their breakfast, and the white-garbed walters
as they sidlfully bore their large trays down the
aisle Of the swaying car.
They were Just getting into Kansas City when
they finished breakfast, and having been in
formed that the train would stop there for
while, they hurried into the station and bought
post cards which they mailed to their mother
and dad and to a couple Of their best friends
back home. Then they bought ice cream cones
to finish OF breakfast that had already been
ample, and returned to their car.
A s they walked toward their seats, which
n were at the very end they were surprised
to see q man sitting there. Then Vie seized
Helene's arm excitedly.
ITS the detectivel" he gasped 1.-THE one
I told you about. who Just barely caught the
train last night"
"Goodnessl" cried Helene. what can he be
doing In our seats?"
"I don't know" said Vic stubbornly, ''but
they are our seats. and we are going to sit there
II we want to-"
with that he grasped his sisters hand and
they marched determinedly down the aisle As
they paused beside their seat the man looked
UP, and his good-humored face broke into q
smile.
We'll" he said, good morningl I suppose
you are about to order me out Of this seat"
why" Vic faltered "we-I mean-weII
that Is our seat, but you can sit there If you
want to-"
Thanks" said the detective "I really would
like to st her until the train starts again But
come, there is lots OF room. You sit here too"
vic and Helene took the seat facing the de-
tective, and soon they were talking In friendly
fashion. The man had very steady eyes and q
flrm chin, but he smiled pleasantly and both
Vic and Helene liked him Immediately Finally
he told them that his name was Ryan and
that he lived in Chicago At that vic leaned
forward and said in q low, confidential voice
And you are a detective, aren't your"
THE man started Then he laughed "Wen!"
] he exclaimed. II see I'm up against pretty
smart boy and girl How did you know?"
Vic told him about seeing the star on his
night before. The man nodded, and then for
several moments ne sat In silence, gazing spec
ulatively ct his two new friends.

Mr.. Ryan. Then, after a careful look around
to make sure that nobody was within earshot,
he leaned forward.
You must be very careful not to breathe
word of what am going to ten you," he said
impressively. When they nodded he continued,
"As you guessed, I am detective. A few nights
ago there was a big robbery in Chicago. The
police caught two of the robbers, but the third
got away with most of the money that was
stolen. We got tip that he was taking this
train and came along to try to get him.
"Geei" gasped Vic. And Is he on the train?"
That's just the problem" admitted the de-
tective. You see, I'm not even sure the man
trailing is really the third robber, but
think he is. At any rate, he Is travelling in

/ITH that. he pointed to the little door
Wv just few feet from where they were
sitting. It was the first door off the corridor at
the end Of the car, and as they were in the
last seat in the car itself they were In excellent
position to keep track of the man in the
drawing room.
"Oh!" cried Helene. "a robber travelling
right next to us!"
You have nothing to fear" said Mr.. Ryan.
"I don't think he viii show his nose outside
that door. think he must have seen me when
got on the train last night, or else he is just
very cautious. He had waiter bring his
breakfast to him this morning, and I haven't
had chance to get look in there yet.

was going to give me your seat here and put
you somewhere else, 50 that I could watch
him. But / think have q better plan"
why don't you just knock on the door, tell

demanded Vic-
"For several reasons" explained the detec-
tive. In the first place, I'd probably get
bullet in me Immediately. In the second place,
I'm not even sure that this man is one Of the
robbers, or that he has the money with him.
What I'd like to do is get into that compart-
ment and get . look at his baggage. But
can't do that II he never leaves it."
II see" said Vic. Then what are you going
TO do?"
"f he sees me and recognizes me as de-
tective," went on Mr.. Ryan, "he's liable to
escape from the train. can't SIT here and
watch the door every minute. And I'm won-
dering If you two might not help me.
