There was a second's Indecision with the knob. then. Judging discretion the better part, Mrs. Klopton went away. "Now, then," McKnlght said, set tling himself in a chair beside the bed, "spit It out. Not the wreck I know all I want about that But the theft I can tell you beforehand that It was a woman." I had crawled painfully out of bed, and was In the act of pouring the egg nog down the pipe ef the washstand. I paused, with the glass in the air. "A woman!" I repeated, startled. "What makes you think that?" "You don't know the first principles of a good detective yarn," he said scornfully. "Of course, it was the woman in the empty house next door. You said it was brass pipes, you will remember. Well on with the dance; let Joy be unconflned." So I told the story; I had told it so many times that day that I did it au tomatically. And I told about the girl with the bronze hair, and my suspic ions. But I did not mention Alison West McKnlght listened to the end without Interruption. When I had finished he drew a long breath. . "Well!" he said. "That's something of a mesa, isn't it? If you can only prove your mild and childlike dispo sition, they couldn't hold you for the murder which is a regular ten-twent- . thirt crime, anyhow.

"Miss West is not home yet from seal Harbor." ' Receiving no response, he lapsed again Into thoughtful silence. Mrs. Klopton came in Just as the clock struck one, and made preparation for , , the night by putting a large gaudy comfortable into an arm chair in the dressing room, with a smaller, stiff backed chair for her feet She was wonderfully attired in a dressing gown that was reminiscent, in parts, of all the ones she had given me for a half dozen Chrlstmases, and she had a pur pie veil wrapped around her head, to hide heaven knows what deficiency. She examined the empty egg-nog glass, inquired what the evening paper bad said about the weather, and then : stalked into the dressing room, and ? preparmed, with much ostentatious ; creaking, to sit up all night t we feu silent again, while Mo- v Knight traced a rough outline of the berths on the white tableeover, and pusaled It out slowly. It was some thing like this; , 1 AlULE j "Ton think ho changed the tags oa seven and nine, so that when you 'went back to bed you thought you were crawling Into nine, when It was really seven, sb?" i - "Probsbly yes." ' "Then toward morning, when every- body was asleep, your theory is that he changed the numbers again and sett the train." . "I can't think of any thing else," 1 replied wearily. "Jove, what a game of bridge that fallow would play! It was like finess ing an eightspot and winning out They would : scarcely have doubted you had the tags been reversed In the morning. He certainly left you in had way. Not a Jury In the country would stand out against the stains, the stiletto, and the murdered man's pocket-book In your possession. " "Then you think Sullivan did it?" I asked. .. . '-'vv -;- .- , -.i,. "Of coarse," said McKnlght con fidently. "Unless you did It in , your sleep.

It said lower ten, car seven. It's extremely likely that she had it That telegram was about me, Rlchey." "I'm getting a headache," he said, putting out his cigarette against the sole of his shoe. "All I'm certain of Just now la that it there hadn't been a wreck, by this time you'd be sitting in an eight by ten cell, and feeling like the rhyme for it." "But listen to this," I contended, as hi picked up his hat "this fellow Sul livan is a fugitive, and he's a lot more 11k ?1) to make advances to Bronson than to us. We could have the case continued, release Bronson on ball and set a watch on him." 'Not my watch," McKnlght protest ed "It's a family heirloom." "You'd better go home," I said finn- ly. "Go home and go to bed. You're sleepy. You can have Sullivan's red necktie to dream over if you think it will help any." Mrs. Klopton's voice came drowsily from the next room, punctuated by a yawn. "Oh, I forgot to tell you," she called, with the suspicious lisp which characterizes her at night "somebody called up about noon, Mr. Lawrence. It was long distance, and he said he would call again. The name was" she yawned "Sullivan." CHAPTER XII. The Gold Bag. 1 have always smiled at those cases of spontaneous combustion which, like fusing the component parts of a seid litz powder, unite two people in a bub bling ephermeral ecstasy. But sure- surely there is possible, with but a single meeting, an attraction so great. I Knew That a community of mind and Interest so strong, that between that first meet ing and the next the bond may grow Into something stronger. This Is es pecially true, I fancy, of people with temperament, the modern substitute for Imagination. It la a nice ques tion whether lovers begin to love when they are together, or when they are apart Not that I followed any such line of reasoning at the time. I would not even admit my folly to myself.' But during the restless hours of that first night after the accident when my back ached with lying on It, and any other position was torture, I found my thoughts constantly going back to Ali son West I dropped Into s dose,, to dream of touching her fingers again to comfort her, and awoke to find 1 had patted a teaspoonful of medicine out of Mrs. Klopton's Indignant hand. What was it McKnlght had said about making an egregious ass of myself? And that brought me back to Richey, and I fancy I groaned. There la no use expatiating on the friendship be tween, two men who have gone to gether through college, have quar reled and made it up, fussed together over politics and debated creeds for years; men don't need to be told, and women cannot understand. Neverthe less, I groaned. If it had been any one but Rich! ; Some things were mine, however. and I would hold them: The halcyon breakfast, the queer hat, the pebble In her small shoe, the gold bag with the broken chain the bag! Why, It was In my pocket at that moment -. I got up painfully and found mjr coat. Yes, there was the purse. Bul ging with an opulent suggestion of wealth inside. I went back to bed again, somewhat dizzy, between effort and the touch of the trinket, so lately hers. I held It up by its broken chain and gloated over it.', By careful atten tion to orders, I ought to be out in a day or so. Then I could return It to her. I really ought to do that; it was valuable, and I wouldn't care to trust it to the mall. I could run down to Richmond, and see her once there was no disloyalty to Rich in that V 1 had no intention of Opening the I Tm i II fx , : -MM i little bag- I pot It under my F which was. my reason for, raturU have toe linen slips changed, to i- Klopton's. dismay.

Yesterday I thought the notes were burned; to-day I look forward to a good cross-country chase, and with luck we will draw." His voice changed suddenly. "Yesterday she was in Seal Harbor. To-day she is here." "Here in Washington?" I asked, as naturally as I could. "Yes. Going to stay a week or two."

"You are both," I said with disgust "If you can be rational for one mo ment, I wish you would tell me why that man Sullivan called me over the telephone yesterday morning." "Probably hadn't yet discovered the Bronson notes providing you hold to your theory that the theft was in cidental to the murder. May have wanted his own clotbea again, or to thank you for yours. Search me; I can't think of anything else." The doctor came in Just then. "Pretty good shape," he said. "How did you sleep?" "Oh, occasionally," I replied. "I would like to sit up, doctor."

Just this life Is open to every boy of seventeen, and practically as well as theoretically, he can keep going up as far as he likes, and at the same time will have the advantage of the best kind of direction and a good home; for Uncle Sam's navy depart ment Is a veritable father to his blue- Jacket children. These sound like strong statements, particularly In view of occasional criticisms that are made; but, to quote one of the government state ments, in nearly all Instances these "reports were circulated by men who have been discharged for bad conduct or who have been punished on ac count of bad behavior and have left the navy for the navy's good." Anyhow, by starting out your boy as a man-o'-war's man, no matter what particular bent he may have he will find here the education and training and pay all the while, that will de velop him Into the highest possible efliciency he has in him. He can work up as a seaman, as a clerk, stenog rapher and bookkeeper; In hospital wont; as a tailor, a steward or a cook; as a carpenter, machinist, plumber, painter, ship fltteri copper smith, blacksmith, or boiler maker; as a gunner, as an electrician, as a fireman, as a musician" or as a baker. And, unlike conditions on thel land, he will be sent to school by hlk em I.a7Jtje while: under payAand glve&,v-eVHHr to enable hi to Improve In his work, ability and ihar acter. And after he has risen as' high as he can, Uncle Sam lets him tetlre at about forty-seven to fifty, . even though he hasn't succeeded in getting into the commissioned officer class by that time, on a life income of as. high as $150 a month. At the same time that one of sever al of these lines of work are being mastered, the government fosters fencing and boxing matches, concerts on the ship every night and morning, dancing, minstrel shows by the crew's own troupe, use of the boats belong ing to the warship for sailing or to go fishing, football, baseball, boat racing, furnishing everything necessary to en able the bluejackets to enjoy them selves. One-fourth of the crew is given shore leave dally after after noon drill, and may remain away till the following morning, and on Wednesday's, Saturday's and Sunday afternoons they may go earlier. How to enlist for a life's work of this sort is best shown by quoting from one of the pamphlets issued by the bureau of navigation: "If you are between the ages of seventeen and thirty-five years, and have a height of five feet two to six feet three inches, and weigh 115 to 176 pounds, with chest measurement of 33 to 36 Inches, write a letter to the bureau of Navigation,. Navy Department Wash ington, D. C, stating that you wish to enlist in the navy, and the bureau will immediately write you, giving you the address of the recruiting sta tion nearest you, and this recruiting station will examine you phyiscally and accept or reject you. The govern ment pays, your .expenses from point of enlistment to training station or ship; but does not pay your expenses to the recruiting office." The -only mental requirement Is that the appli cant be able to read and write Uro English language. -h - The recruit is first sent to the training school at Newport, Rhode Island, where he is , given without charge a complete outfit of clothing Valued at $60, and Is then ready , for Instruction In drills and manual of arms; In taking care of his clothing and hammock (the navynaan's bed), how to swim, to box the compass, to heave the lead, to make knots, spice ropes, coil down gear, to make bitches and bowlines, to sail and row boats; how to take care of a rifle ; and re volver and to shoot tc If he Is In dustrious, he may be promoted to be apprentice petty officer while he is Still at training school at an Increase of from f 1 to $2.50 a month. Hie riay. on the start Is $17.60 a month. After four months at the school he Is given opportunity to take examtnstlon for ordinary seaman at $20.90 a month. x To summarize the further promo tions, after a year as ordinary sea man, by passing an examination, he la promoted as seaman at $26.40 a month, then Is at once eligible to the position of third-class at $38.60 to $44 month; one year more, and he Is eligible to flrstclasa -petty officer at $49.50 to $55 a month, and In one more year to chief petty officer at $77 a month, which appointment is still another year, or by the time he Is 12, Is mads permanent and ir 71? Shell li D revocable, except by court-martial. chief. petty officer who has been In the navy eight years Is qualified for promotion to the rank of warrant offi cer at an annual salary bf $1,600 to $2,400. From here ' opportunity given to advance through the vari ous ranks of commissioned officer.' Is not easy to get Into the higher grades; but to a boy of ambition and the necessary ability this Is possible the navy has several high officers who have advanced from the ranks. There are numerous opportunities for the man-o'-war's man to get extra pay. On re-enlisting (an enlistment is four years he is given an in crease of $5.50 a month, and of $3.50 a month for each subsequent enlist ment. This is increased still further by $1.50 a monfh if he re-enlists within four months of his date of dis charge, in which case he Is given bonus of four months' pay. Each medal for good conduct he receives carries with it an addition of 83 cents to his monthly salary. When detailed as coxswain of a launch he gets $5 a month extra. When qualified as submarine man he gets $1 a day up to $15 a month for every day served under water; when he is in charge of storerooms, or is messman to the crew, or a gun captain, there is nn in crease of $5 a month. When serving as a gun pointer he gets $2 to $10 a month extra; as navy mall clerk, from $15 to $25 a month extra; and ship's tailors receive $20 a month above their rating. Under the present law, a man-o' war's man, if physically disqualified may retire on hnlf-pay at the end of 20 years, and may voluntarily retire at the end of 30 years' service on three-fourths ray. If he ' has not reached the grade of warrant officer, he Is also given $15.75 a month ad ditional in lieu of rations, clothings, etc. Thus, your boy, who enlists now at the age of seventeen and reaches the grade of warrant officer can leave the service by the time he is forty- seven with a salary of $150 a month for life. Courses of Instruction In schools are pnnvlded for all those taking up spe cial trades, such as In electricity, .yeo manry, music, hospital work, the artificers' school, sea gunnery, me chanics, etc. 'The daily life of the mnn-o'war's man begin with turning out at 5:30 In the morning, tying up their ham mocks and having coffee or cocoa with bread or .hardtack, and Bmoklng for half an hour.

Mummified remains of persons who existed hundreds of years ago have been dug up In the work of excavating that has been going on in the old cata combs of Guanajuato, Mexico. The people whose bodies were discovered must have lived long before the set tlement of the republic, and the finds have occasioned much Interest among scientific men.' Some of the bodies. were decked with beads and ivory trinkets, that were In vogue before the coming of the Spaniards, so these peo ple must have lived in that part of the country many centuries ago. The mummies were discovered under an old cemetery while excavations were being made by some prospecting min ers. HSreditsry Talent From the postoffice steps Freeman.
