Policeman Flynn.
Tho matter being thus settled
nothing remainod but to carry out

straightway hunted up Dugan. They
shook hands In a guarded sort of

piciously. " 'TIs a sha-ame to ha-nvo nuar'ls

THE LADY AND THE GOBLET ..
By HENRY
"Mr. Septimus Toft Mr" the letter
ran. "The ttcs arc on the scent. If
you want any further information meet
me at tlio Blue L.on Inn. at 9:30 to
morrow even nc .?. Driver." y
It was 0:45 the next evening when
Septimus Toft entered the Inn.-
"J. Driver" was a dark-haired man.
with a bold clenn-shuvan chin. His 1
voice was deep and emphatic and his
eye ws piercing.
"No.v to business" feald Mr. Driver.
"You know my namoaud I knowynr.rs.
Thai's where we're equal. You're In a
beastly hole and I aren't. That's whcio
tho difference comes In."
"I don't understand" said Mr. Toft.
"In fact I haven't tho faintest idea
what yoif are alluding to."
"Well" said J. Driver with a dig in
the r'.tjs that made Mr. Toft jump.
"What about government contracts?"
"What about them?" asked Mr. Toft
shrinking from his tamlllarlty.
"What about them?" echoed the
other. ."What about work you never
did fot which you've got falso re-
ceipts? What about contracts executed
with Inferior stuff? What about com-
missions to officials tips to men and
plunder nil 'round?"
Mr. Toft paled at this catalogue of
his business achievements.
"Now" said J. Driver "I've come
for the loan or a key and one of our
visltin' cards."
"A 1 ey?" .aid Mr. Toft relieved
thougn much surprised.
"The key or the plate chest of the
Fellmongers' company."
Mr Tort raised his eyebrows.
"Hand me tho key."
"I ClUi't."
"You can't!" said Mr. Driver rising.
"At picsent the admiralty only sus-
pect. To-morrow they'll- know and
you'll know too Septimus Toft when
you get live years without the option of
a fine."
Mr. Toft scarcely heard him. He was
thinking over ths'pros and' Ming of the
blunt Ion as rapidly as his nervous sys-
tem would allow. He was treasurer of
the Felhuongers' company and he
alone had the key of tho plate safe
The Man.Obeyed with the Promptitude
of a Soldier.
Mr. Tort hesitated no longer. From
one end of his watch chain lie detached
n gold key which he handed covertly
to Driver.
"Now your visltin card."
Mr Tott produced one and handed it
over.
"Now Toft my boy don't worry.
You'll havo that key back by Friday
and all .your spoons'll be In tho box."
"With this Mr. Driver roso and
stalknd out of the room. Arter a mod-
est interval Mr. Tort followed.
At nine a. in. on the following morn-
ing the bell or tho hellmongcrs' c-om-pany
pealed vigorously. The porter
hurr:d to answer .It and found u lady
on the doorstep. She was neatly
dressed and was strikingly handsome.
She might be 2T years old.
"Is this tho Fellmongers' hall?" she
asked.
"it is miss."
"I want to l.now I' you will be good
enough to allow m r copy a painting
you hove on your wills? I do not know
If It Is necessary to have any written
permission or where to apply for it."
"Tho hall lb open to the public un-
der my supervision" said the portor
pomjoi:sly. "Come Inside pleas."
"Thank you" replied the ladv
"The palntliiK 1 want 1b the onu near
est to the door of the plate room.'-
"Then it's a good bit away from it i
m'.ss. Tho plate room Is off ilje ban-
quetlhg''all. and they are all win.inu'c.
on' that side. The' pictures ar oppo-
elto." said the porter. j
"Daartne" said tho lad. "How '
very rtupldl I have ' been Informed I
Please show me the room." '
Tho porter led tho way and threw I
open the door with pardonahla prido '
'
"I'll tell you what Mnrla" said Mr I
Jeekai). home hours later to his wife' I
"If she's a hartlst I ought to bo presl-
item or tho Jloyal Academy. I never
saw Mich drawlu' In my lire. She can"t
get r.ls face right nohow. She must

the licnt entrance bell. A man In a
derby hut and carrying a hand-bag was
uutuide.
".Mr. Tort has sent me Tor tho Nelson
goblet ' ho &afd.
The ortcr was surprised. "Got a
notc?"4he asked.
'"1 he guvn'r gave me this" said the
ninn bunding a card "and the key."
"ConiL along" bald the porter
shortly.
Baicly had they entered the plate
room vr.en the artist ran from behind
her easel into the outer hall.
"Mrs. Jeckeil! Mrs. Jeckell!" she
called out.
The 'Kilter's wife appeared.
"A man has gone Into the plate room
with jour husband. I'm sure he Is a
thief. Wnrn Mr. Jeckell to get full au-
thority before he does what tnls man
wants.'
The wife rushed across to the plato
room anil In a minute a storm of
voices proceeded therefrom. Finally
tbe threo emerged two hot and Hur-
ried and the stranger lobklng cool
and determined carrying a bag in one
hand and n gold cup In tho other.
The artist was In front of the door.
When she saw tho man with tho bag
and cup she gao a little gasp or sur-
prihe and a wave ot color overspread
her face.
The nm:. seemed equally astonished.
"You!" he salfl at Ubt.
"They're both thieves" whispered
Mrs. Jeckell to her husband. "They're
actin In collision. I'll shout for tho
perllco whllo you keep 'em." And she
ran tirm the room.
'Yoi aro in danger" said the artist
rapidly in French. "Put the cup in
your pocket. Give me tho bag and'
knock the porter down."
The man obeyed with the prompti-
tude of a soldier. Leaving Mr. Jeckell
prostrate ou tho door they hurried
from the hall. At the street door was
Mrs. Jeckell wildly beckoning to a dis-
tant pciicepum.
"You go down there" said the artist.
"Good-by." She ran ort in the opposite
direction still holding the bag and
dived down a side street.
The next gathering of the Burglars'
club proved too most Important in Its
history.
It vas held at Marmaduke Percy's
rooms his grace of Dorchester the
president or tho year being in the
cha'r.
Tho secretary read the minutes and
concluded: "Tho business or the eve-
ning is the payment of an entrance feo
the Nelson goblet or the Fellmongers'
company by Kobert Legendre Craven
fourth baron llorton a cadet membei
or tbe club."
Lord Horton entered oowed nnd
amid general applause placed on tho
table a richly chased goblet ot puro
gold.
"My lords and gentlemen" ho 'said
"I thank you. In accordance with
the usual custom of your club
I will explain how I have been
able to fulfill my appointed duty.
I received an Intimation that the Nel-
son goblet of the Fellmongers' com-
pany 'vis my entrance lee and at onco
took steps to procure It. A list or the
company showed mo the treasurer and
piate-kceper was a Mr. Toft. The dN
rectory informed me that ho was a
steamship owner and a contractor to
tho ndmiralty. Inquiry there told mc
thnt he was under suspicion of bribery
nnd corruption. 1 played on this little
Weakness of his and If I am not mis-
taken I frightened him into the pnths

safe of his company. In broad day-
light I proceded for my boot To my
surprise I found that I was expected.
An agent had been placed on the spot
to warn the' custodian of tho building
of my intention. An alarm was raised
by the ngt;iit. This agent was a lady
who did not know that she was be-
traying an old friend. A minute later

pierced through my disguise and by

It was long ago dlBcovcrei that the
natural color of puro water is blue
and not white ns most of 113 usually
supposed. Opinions have not agreed
on tho cause of tho green anil yellow
tints; these it has been discovered
by W. Spring aro due to extraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts
though apparently giving a green tint
due to a fine invisible suspension
havo no effect on the color of the-
water when adequate precautions-
are taken The brown or yellow color-
due to Iron salts is not seen when cal-
cium is present. The grem tint ia
often due to a condition of equilibrium
between tjm color effect of the iron
salts" and the "precipitating action of
the calcium salts. Scientific Ameri-
