A Few Don'ts In Bowling
One should never walk in front
Of another bowler when he or she
is about to deliver the ball. Never
shout when a delivery is being
made. Wait until the pin boy has
picked up the pins before you
throw your ball, and don't make
excuses when you can't knock all
the pins down each time you throw
the ball.

100000 francs, although of course
she was never for sale.
For sale or not, La Belle Lucrece

the Louvre, was now in Berlin as a

That one is Dugat's. Bien sur, copy,

Haines humored the woman. What
else could he do? Obviously she was
out of her mind. Dugat made flaw
less eproductions-no question of that,
for his sense of color and manual skill
were beyond reproach-but the rule
at the Louvre had been strictly en-
forced, that no painting might ever be

That being the case. the natural
question was what had become of the

out from the blanket an oblong board
which was swathed in old silk.
Haines smiled. He knew what was
coming now. He would be asked to
purchase this fraud. But Haines was
wrong. She did not want to sell it!
Again you fool yourself" she told
him, guessing his thoughts. when We

TRAIN ROBBERY

WAS DARING JOB
EXECUTED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT;
KID CURRIE CREDITED AS
MASTER MIND

Train robberies except for a few
Isolated instances disappeared with
the development and increasing pop
ulation OF the west. but there are still
many men in Montana who figured
prominently in the pursuits that GUS
tomarily followed such robberies. Some
of the robberies were executed with
marked efficiency and through the
years have been followed by specula-
ton but not conclusive establishment
of the facts.
One such robbery was that OF the
Great Northern flyer" near Wagner
in July. 1901. Although the redoubt-
able kid" Currie or Curry, whose
career ended IN mystery, was created
with being the master mind OF the
robbery, many OF the facts are TO TINS
day unknown. The loss, however con-
sisted OF SAL 500 and IN the ROBBERY

passed him to enter the large and
room of the palace.
1t was filled with cold Egyptian
relics. stone capitals from the Bubas-
It's temple, with mummy cases. a few
small SphinXeS, and there in the cen
ter thing colossal the granite tomb
of Rameses III.
Germaine did not stay to look at
these things. She climbed the stairs
to the second floor and made her way
from room to room till she reached
that ornamented chamber with the
ceiling painted by DelacroiX. From its
windows she could have looked at the
Seine and, across the stream on the
opposite bank, have seen the building
where her Christophe was bent at q
desk doing tiresome sums.
But Germaine must not slight the
things in this room. Here were dis
played such historic items as the gold
en- spurs of a king of France, 18th
century reliquaries, enameled chalices
silver ewers, the chaplet crown which
Bonaparte had placed on his balding
head at Reinls. That crown, she de-
cided, was what they would take when
NdSll iiiSl UIOhtIl lIle glass SIl llIe
case-Napoleon'S crown and a few
small treasures, merely enough to con-
fuse the police.
Turning right, she crossed the Salon
Care. which opened into the Grande
Galerie. The latter was long and Sc
verely plain, with here and there just
simple bench confronting the pic
lures which hung on its walls. AS she
entered. Germaine cast prayerful
glance toward the central space, far
down the room, where La Belle Lu-
crece should be. She was therei The
usual little group of visitors stood be-
fore her, searching her face, trying
to read the age-old riddle that
Leonardo. so long ago, had managed
, to put in her cozening eyes.
Germaine moved along the opposite
wall, pretending to look with reverent
awe at masterpieces which through
those glasses, a cheap pair purchased
out of a bin. we're merely blur that
hurt her eyes.
The strain made her jurnpy. Nor did
it help her to see that Dugat and
his easel stand were no longer in
front of the Holy Family. where he
had been copying the canvas two days
ago, when she was last here. For she
knew he had crossed the Swiss From
tier: he would wait in Lausanne to
receive his money. Dugat had per-
formed his part and escaped, but for
her the great ordeal impendedl Small
wonder that when a man brushed her
hip and a voice said tensely, You
have the rope?" little Germaine al
most broke and screamed.
Yes" she answered.
WASH planted himself within few
steps and made a great show of alb
sorbing the Titan which she was pre-
tending to look at too. She left him
still cycling the canvas, obviously a
Junk of an artist come to study the
masterpieces.
BY a roundabout course Germaine
made her way to regain the stairs she
had first assembled

silk which she TOOK from the covers
and handed TO HaineS was the self
same panel the F'lorentire master had
placed on his easel and covered with
paint. Poets had struggled to put it
in words-and here it was now in
sinking hovel close to the harbor-
side of Marseilles.
And all because a small Partisan
had fallen head over heels in love!
Germaine had reached an age when
to have a hearth and a man of her
own was her hearts desire. Besides.
she had never really loved-never until
she met Christophe. There was Moth
ing, rien du tout, she told Haines, she
would not have done to secure her
man.
A decent dowry would do it? Good,
she would get sum which would make
him blink. She was smart, Germaine, a
practical girl who had always taken
notice of things. This American mil
lionaire, for instance; she knew of his
lust for acquiring treasures which only
the few could hope to possess-famous
tapestries, rare old masters.
Now his yacht lay at Cannes while
he was in Paris. Germaine sought an
interview and got it.
Il knew the old pirate WE'LL" grinned
Haines, land I can just see his eyes
light up when she frankly disclosed
how she meant to proceed. He even
offered her the suggestion Of stealing
something else besides, to divert the
police from the major crime"
One third Of the cash would go to
her, with equal amounts for Jean Du-
gat and another man named Ferenc
Vaszi. This latter contributed the

of the expedition. Haines, who had
met the fellow once, remembered him
as a powerful brute with sullen black
eyes under jungle-growth brows. Hun
garian. Vaszi had come to Paris to
make a name and fortune in art.
But fame merely glanced at his pic
lures and shrugged, and because of
that he was stepped in bile.
Like a general planning spring
offensive, Germaine prepared for the
hour of attack Her American patron
left for Athens, but he was back again
in Paris by the time Dugat had COM
pleted the copy. He even took a look
at the picture, paying surreptitious
visit to view the panel and, fox that
he was, to make a small but distinc-
tive mark on the edge of the board
as Identification! He met Fierenc Vaszi.
He jQllied Germaine.
