larger consuming countries.
That other countries realize the i'm
portance Of this principle has recently
been demonstrated, SO far as Bulgaria
Is concerned, by the arrival of a party
including several prominent German
manufacturers. Bulgaria apparently was
considered by them of sufficient Inn
portance to justify a personal visit to
investigate on the spot the potential
ties of the Bulgarian market. Such a
visit at a time when trade and COM
merce are at their worst, when the
black clouds Of depression obscure the
horizon and show no signs of dispensing
is clear proof that German industrial
lists are not waiting for better days
before beginning economic studies.
| No. they are already collecting all
the data that will be OF value with the
return of better times. Bulgaria is but
small country, of los, 146 square kill
ometers and a population OF 5000, 600,

Libardo Echeverria thought nothing
ways willing to make any sacrifice or
to spend all his money upon her. Only
now, unfortunately, belonging to the
long train of "thoSe without work" he
didn't have any money to spend. How

she desired for her approaching birth
day anniversary; 1t was a peineta,
one of the curved and ornamental
combs that women wear so generaHy IN
their hair. She had several combs, put
they were old, and she was tired OF
them.
Fortified with this information LII
bardo Echeverria set out In the direc-
ton of the public market. Arriving at
stall therein presided over by the
Syrian, Antonio Abudinen, Libardo saw
glass showcases filled with beautllui
combs, Just the sort that Julia wanted.
1t was difficult to choose q single comp
from so large and varied coliectlon,
so Libardo merely waited until ANTONIO
Abudinen was busy with customer
and then distracted from the showcase
tray containing two dozen OF the
more costly "peinetas," walking away as
calmly as If nothing had happened.
1t did not escape Antonio, however.
that one of his anticipated patrons mad
walked away with two dozen combs
without giving him so much as thanks;
He called loudly for the police, and
Agent No. 228 promptly responded
Armed with description of the au-
dacious appropriation, and shown the
direction in which he had departed,
Agent 228 soon apprehended Libardoo
upon Gale de la Cruz, at the corner OF
La PaZ. He now awaits the formal
hearing of Antonio Abudinen's testi-

Confined in the same calaboose Is
one Manuel Fernandez, charged with
the removal, at 5 o'clock in the morn
ing, of certain furnishings from the
home of the citizen Luis Montoya. The
latter was comfortably surrendered to the
arms of Morpheus, when sudden noise
awoke him. Leaving the couch, he sped
to the nearest station of police whence
officers were sent to encircle the house
This done, they caught the lingering
Manuel, with his loot in bundle ready
to leave.
