tant. He was a shrewd fellow, and
noted the strange manner of the
couple and their evident desire to es-
cape observation.
"I'll keep my eye on them," he
said to himself, as he peered through
the little window of the ticket of-
fice. He could dimly discern the
shadowy figures behind the stove.
The dusk of an early winter twilight
was fast descending. The man stood
in front of his companion as If to
shield her, and so far as the agent
could judge in the flickering light of
the station lamps they were well
dressed. "But that's nothing unusual
in these days, the rogues all look re-
spectable," he muttered. "A fellow
can't always tell when he's liable to
be gagged and drugged by the most
innocent looking parties," he mused,
while the perspiration slowly began
to gather as a vision of being swooped
down upon by these two, the man
strangling him into submission, tlis
woman holding chloroform to his nosa
and the safe being ransacked before
help arrived—went sailing athwart
his mental horizon. The click of the
instrument made him jump conv
sively.
"Ah! Just as I expected!" was his
Inward exclamation as this message
flashed over the wire:
"Detain suspicious-acting pair if
they come your way. Man and wom-
an. Notorious pickpockets. Slipped
through our fingers about an hour ago,
supposed to be in your vicinity. Man
tall, light hair and eyes; woman rath-
er slight, brown hair and delicate
features, dressed In suit of navy blue.
Both appear refined. Officers arrive
on 7:30."
It was nearing seven, and the man
had purchased tickets for the 7:30—
the very train the authorities were
coming on.
So far as he could make out the
descriptions he had received tallied
exactly and he felt sure of his game.
The stranger Impatiently consulted
his watch about every two or three
minutes as he conversed in subdued
tones with his companion who seemed
nervous and excited.
"Do you think they will suspect
which way we have come?" she whis-
pered.
"Well, we have outwitted them, any-
way. They can't overtake us now,"
he said.
"I wish we were well on our way."
"Don't get nervous. It will soon
be over. It is almost train time,
and then we will be out of their
clutches whether they suspect we
have taken this road or not. They
couldn't possibly get here before we
are off," he assured her.
"Did you get what you wanted?"
in the man's low tones.
"Hardly, I had to act so quickly
that I stuffed what I could in my coat
pocket, then made a dash for lib-
erty."
The suspense seemed interminable
to the rigid agent At last the low-
rumble of the approaching train loos-
ened the tension. He waited until
he could see the gleaming headlight
In the distance. Nearer and nearer
it came penetrating the darkness. Ia
no apparent haste he stepped out
upon the platform. As the door swung
to after him he grasped the handle
firmly, hanging on like grim death, ex-
pecting an onslaught from Inside,
which was not long in coming. As
the train rolled into the station, the
perspiring agent, puffing almost as
vigorously as the engine, felt a
quick jerk from the inside. Ordinar-
ily the stranger could have worsted
him at one wrench, but in extreme
moments strength is given us, so the
young athlete, pulling, swearing,
light and sounded a note of relief
when a party of jolly sleigh riders
drew up to the platform.
A trunk fantastically decorated
with red hearts, tied profusely In
white satin ribbons and an old shoe
conspicuously fastened to one of the
handles, was unloaded from the sleigh.
The occupants almost tumbled over
each other in their haste to alight, all
making a rush for the station, some
one exclaiming, breathlessly:
"Have they escaped?"
"Not on your life!" came the quick |
response of the complacent agent,
disclosing the group on the platform
as he spoke. The policemen were
about to enforce their authority, but
beat a hasty retreat as they were
struck by a shower of rice, and their
prisoners were immediately surround- |
ed by a score of rejoicing friends, all
talking at once, each anxious to tell
the story.
"The boys had just put the finish-
ing touches on your trunks when we
discovered you had given us the slip.
Not wishing to b^ outdone after all
our trouble, we determined to take
them with us and hunt you down.

"Earle suggested." struck in an-
other voice, "that you might have cut

We were bound to try it, though in a 1
ferment lest we arrive too late, as we ;
figured that you might catch the
7:30." |
"So away we raced as if chasing j
a pair of decamping criminals," added
a third.

feet, for we have been detained as |

Hut for the kindness of the gentle-
men, dear friends, we would now be

employ?" concluded the erstwhile
prisoner sardonically.
Meanwhile the officers had been
ruminating as the crest-fallen agent
slunk into his office out of sight.

tedly thankful to be thus branded.
Washington some weeks ago and be-
hold the famous Congressional library
in all its rare and exquisite beauty.
While he stood at the foot of the great
staircase, lost in admiration of the
noble architectural lines of the build-
ing and the harmonious loveliness of
the wonderful bas-reliefs and friezes,
he observed an Indian, black haired,
piercing eyed and blanketed after the
fashion of his ancestors, enter the vast
I rotunda. Walking slowly to the cen-
! ter of the entrance hall, he advanced
i still further to the staircase, placed
I one grimy hand gingerly upon the
i broad balustrade, and, turning to the
| artist, who had perceived all his ac-
, tlons with a lively curiosity, he opened
' Ills lips and spake. Three words only,
but it is doubtful if the wonderful
library will ever echo words of greater
or more unaffected appreciation. The
I Indian and the artist stood face to I

WORK OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
Daily Events Put on Record with Re
markable Rapidity.
As regards the rapidity with which
daily events can be photograhped and
shown within an hour or two to the
general public, the following account
of the arrangements made for the
Grand National 1K07 race will suffice
to give some idea of this. Six taking
machines were at work on different
points of the racecourse and a spe-
cial van was in readiness for the films
to be developed while en route for
London. The moment the race was
over the train started, and while run-
ning full speed homeward the opera-
tors were hard at work developing.
Indeed, not only were the films de-
veloped, but they were washed and
dried on a special mechanical drum.
On arrival a motor car in waiting
carried the film quickly to the printing
establishment, where 520 feet of It
was printed on to the positive film. As
soon as this was dried it was rushed
off to the Alhambra, Empire and Ox-
ford theaters and shown to an almost
Incredulous audience. When the final
cup tie was played at the Crystal Pal-
ace a motor car drove the film to Lon-
don, and within three hours a cine-
matograph display of the match was
given.
The royal wedding which took place
recently at Wood Norton was another
occasion on which remarkable celerity
was displayed by the energetic cine-
liiatographers. The bridegroom and

OPEN SECRETS.
To overcome the well-grounded and reasoiable objections of th«
more intelligent to the use of secret, medicinal ompounds, Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., some time ago, decided to make a bold de-
parture from the usual course pursued by the makers of put-up medi-
cines for domestic use, and so published broadcast and openly to the
whole world, a full and complete list of the ingredients entering into
the composition of his widely celebrated medicines. Thus he has
taken the many users of his medicines into his full confidence. Thus
too he has absolutely and completely removed his medicines from
among secret nostrums of doubtful merits, and made them XKMiCDlJts

As Mr. Abbott spoke the doll was

though they seemed outlandish to the
twentieth century view, evoked undis-
guised admiration because of the
beauty of their material.
Lecturer Abbott spoke of a period
when costumes occupied six square
feet and several thousand pounds'
financial space. "You can see that
there was tyranny of fashion even at
thU time," he declared, as he per-

wigs, "when there were no fasbloa

uses of not a few of our most valuable

from the Indians.
As made un by improved and exact
Srecesses, and with the use of specially
fsigned chemical apparatus, the "Fa-

remedy for regulating all the womanly

prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion,
overcoming painful periods, toning up
the nervus and bringing about a per-
fect state of health.
