direction. "You can ah return to

fully.

the chief.

lie stepped over to the telephone
and called up central. He spoke so
low that none of us overheard what
ho said; but he hung up the r&celver,
a satisfied smile on his face.
The girl and 1 were free to go
whither we listed, and we listed to
return at once to New '(jork. Ham-
ilton, however, begged us to remain,

f,ook here, sir." cried the chief,
■lauding up and balling his list, I
want you to explain yourself, and
mighty quick. You can't come into
uiy presente in this manner."
"Hah! You have just permitted the
cleverest rascal in the slate to slip
through your butter-fingers. I am Hag-
gerty."
The chief of police sat down sud-
denly
The consummate daring of It! Why
the rascal ought to have been in com
mand of an army On the Hoard of
Strategy he would have been incom-
parable!
There followed a tableau that I
shall not soon forget. We all stared
at the real Haggerty much after the
fashion of Medusa's victims. Present-
ly the tension relaxed, and we all
sighed. I sighed because the thought
of jail for the night in a dress suit
dwindled in perspective; the girl
sighed for the same reason and one or
two other things; the chief of the vil-
lage police and his officers sighed be-
cause darkness had suddenly swooped
down on them; and Hamilton sighed
because there were no gems. Hag-
cerly was the one among us who
didn't sigh. He scowled blackly.
This big athlete looked like a de-
tective, and the abrupt authority of
ills ton«s convinced me that he was.
Haggerty was celebrated In the annals
of police affairs; he had handled all
itorls of criminals, ffoin titled Im-
postors down to petty thieves. He
was not a man to trifle with, mentally
or physically, and for this reason we
were all shaking In our boots. He
owned to a keen but brutal wit; to
him there was no such thing as sex
among criminals, and he had the te-
nacity of purpose that has given the
bulldog considerable note in the pit.
But It was quite plain that for ense
he had met his match.
"I don't see how you can blame me,"
mumbled the chief. "None of us was
familiar .with your looks, and be
allowed us his star of authority, and
went to work In a business-like way—
lijr George! and he has run away with
my horse and carriage!"—starting
from his chair.
"Never nind the horse. You'll find
ft safe at the railway station," snarled
Haggerty. "Now, then, tell me every-
thing that has happened, from-be-
ginning to end." i
And the chief recounted the adven-
ture briefly. Haggerty looked coldly
at :ne add shrugged his broad shoul-
ders. As for the girl, he never gave
l>or(so much as a single glance. He
knew a gentlewoman without looking
at her twice.
"Humph! isn't he a clever one.
though?" cried Haggerty, in a burst
of admiration. "Clever is no name
for it. I'd give a year of my life to
come face to face with him. it would be
an interesting encounter. Hunted him
for weeks, and today laid eyes on him
for the first time. Had my clumsy
paws on him this very afternoon. He
seemed so willing to be locked up
that J grew careless. Biff! and he and

"Telegraphed!" exclaimed the chief,
rousing himself out of a melancholy
dream. (There would be no mention
of him In the morrow's papers.)
"Yes, telegraphed. The despatch
lay unopened on your ofheetiesk.
You're a good watchdog—for ' hen-
coop!" growled Haggerty. "Ten thou-
sand in gems to-night, and by this
time he is safe in New York. You a.'e
al! a pack of blockheads.
"i sed the telephone, did he? Told

Miss Hawthorne resolutely shook her
head; and as there was nothing in the
world that would have Induced me to
stay without her, I shook my head,
too. It seemed to me I had known
this girl all my life, so closely does
misfortune link one life to another.
I had seen her for the first time less
lian eight hours before; and yet I was
confident that as many years, under
ordinary circumstances, would not
have taught me her real worth.
' Mrs. Hyphen-Bonds will never for-
give me," said Hamilton dismally, "If
she hears that I've been the cause,
InJIrectly and Innocently, of turning
you away."
"Mrs. Hyphen-Bonds need never
know," replied the girl, smiling in-
scrutably "In fact, it would bo per-
fectly satisfactory and agreeable to
me If she never heard at all."
"I will call a conveyance for you,"
said the defeated M F. 11. "I shall
never forgive you Dicky."
"Yes, you will, Teddy. A loving
cup, the next time we meet at the
club, will mellow everything."

"Shall I ask the driver to let me

Joyous laugh.
"What Is so funny?"
"I was thinking of that coal bin."
"Well. I didn't permit a lonely po-
tato to frighten me." I retorted .
"So. you were brave enough—

interested me marvelously. I sum-

"Are—are you married?"
"No-o "
"Nor engaged to be married!"
"No-o But you mustn't ask all
these questions "
"How would you like to ride around
in a first-class motor-car the rest of
your days?"
She laughed merrily. Possibly it was
funny.
' Are you always amusing like this?"
"Supposing I were serious?"
"In that case I should say you had
not yet slipped oft your fool's motley."
This directness was discouraging
"I wonder if the ten of hearts is
lucky, after all," I mused.
"We are not in jail. I consider that
the best of good fortune."
"Give me your card," said I.
She gave me the card, and I put it
with mine.
"Why do you do that?"
"Perhaps I want to bring about an
enchantment,"—soberly.
"As Signer Fantoccini, or as Mr.
Cornstalk?"
i have long since resigned my posi-
tion in the museum; It was too excit-
ing."
She made no rejoinder; and for
some time there was no sound but the
music of the bells.
Finally we drew up under the colon-
ial porte-cochere of Hollywood Inn and
were welcomed by the genial Moriarty
hiinsslf, his Celtic countenance a mir-
ror of smiles.
"Anything in the house to eat?" I
cried, shaking the robes from me.
"Anything ye like, if you like cowld
things. I can hate ye a pot of cofTee

"That will be plenty!"—joyfully,

ARMORED CAR IN WARFARE
European Armies Have Found It of
the Greatest Value In Their
Operations.
Although an engine new to warfare,
the atmored motor car has proved ex-
tremely useful, especially for outpost
and scouting duty. Fast, silent, and
mobile, It covers a vast amount of
ground on the splendid roads that
crisscross the field of war in western
Europe. Most of the cars are incased
In n light frame of tough steel plate
that ranges In thickness from three-
sixteenths of an Inch to a quarter of
an Inch, and that Is Impervious to rifle
and machine-gun fire. All the vulner-
able parts of tile motor, such as tho
rndlator and steering gear, and In
some of the newest cars the wheels,
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels, both wood and wire, are
said to withstand the roughest sort of
usage. Accidents to the tires are
much less common than anyone would
expect. The cars carry a light arma-
ment—one or two machine guns so
i mounted that they can be swung
| through a complete circle—and a
large supply of ammunition. The
crew, which may number from four to
eight or more men, are armed with
rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars
have a steel superstructure that rises
from the chasis frame high enough
to enable the crew to stand upright,
and that is capped with a domed roof,
from which bullets and shrapnel usu-
ally fly off at a sharp angle without
even denting the steel.—Youth's Com-
panion.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children "California Syrup of
Figs" that this Is their ideal laxative,
because they love Its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanseB the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with-
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit
laxative," and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow-
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem-
ber, a good "inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep "California
Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-
cent bottle of "California Syrup of
Figs," which has directions for babies,

NOT THE TIME FOR A SMOKE
Old Lady, Filled Up With "Car-
tridges," Was In Natural Fear
of an Explosion.
A robust old woman In the moun-
tains of north Georgia was ill for the
first time In her life and a doctor was
sent for. Partly by persuasion and
partly by force, the physician induced
his patient to swallow some big qui-
nine capsules—a simple enough opera-
tion, which, however, scared the old
woman almost to death. She was
soon able to sit up and her daughter
thought she would give the conv?,-
lescent a treat. She took her motW
er's corncob pipe from the "shelf" or
mantel, filled It with tobacco, and
picking up a live coal between t-vo
sticks, started with it toward the bed.
"Ma," she said, brightly, "jes' look
what I got fer ye."
"Git away from me, Sary," she
screamed in terror. "Take awiy dat
fire! Take hit away! Don't yer know

through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This will cleanse
the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil
and in just a few moments you have
doubled the beauty of your hair.
Besides beautifying the hair at once,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig-

But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks' use when you
will actually see new hair—fine and
