Tlmson had for nearly an hour been in the smoking compartment, while his wife had been permitted to sit alone at the rear end of the sleeper as it was whisked briskly across the uninteresting landscape. At last he sauntered back and sat down beside the lady, saying as he did so that he was getting hungry and wished the first call for lunch might soon be given. Then he noticed that his wife was concealing something between herself and the side of the car. "What have you got there?* he asked. "Sh-sh!" she replied, looking around to assure herself that she would not be overheard. "It's a book. The news agent came through a little while ago, and he had this hidden under a lot of other things. I don't know why he thought he could trust his secret with me, but he did. We must not betray him." "Let me see it" "No, we mustn't show it here. Somebody might notice it and the boy would get into trouble." "He told you the railroad company had given orders that no more copies of it were to be sold on the train, didn't he?" "Yes." "And said it was terribly sensational?" "Yes. It's a story we must be careful not to leave around where the children can get hold of it" "It was the last copy of the book he had, too, wasn't it?" "Yes. How do you happen to know so much about it?" "He sold me one, too," said Timson, slipping his copy out from under his coat. Chicago Record Herald. A Friend In a Fog. "In one of the worst London fogs," said an Englishman, "an old friend of mine tried to find his way from Trafalgar square to the Savoy, where he had an engagement to dine. "The sulphurous air made the eyes smart and the head ache, and it brought on terrific fits of coughing. Tou could not literally see your hand before your face. There was a continual crashing in of windows, bells Jangled, vehicles and foot passengers collided, and shrieks and oaths arose. "Threading his way in the midst of his pandemonium through the Strand, as he supposed, from Landseer's lions to the waiting dinner at the Savoy, my old friend, to his great bewilderment, soon found himself descending a broad stairway. He put his hand to the balustrade. Yes, a broad and stately stairway with a rail of carved stone. Amazing! "Suddenly in his descent my friend collided with some one ascending the . stairway. "Hello!" ^e said. "'Hello!' a gruff male voice replied. ^ " 'Can you tell me,' said my friend 'where I am going?" f "'Certainly,' said the other. 'If you f keep straight on you will walk into the Thames, for I've Just come out of If " To the Highest Bidder*?Even tobacco buyers have their troubles. One of them, who represents a New York house, met a Connecticut man who had sold his crop. The buyer was amazed at the price the man said he had received. "You have been cheated," said he. "You are entitled to more money than that." "Well," replied the farmer, "nothing has been paid to bind the bargain." "Then I'll give you 5 cents more a pound and a bonus of $100 for the crop." "Agreed," exclaimed the farmer, and he received a check for the full amount "Oh, by the way," observed the buyer, "who was my rival in this transaction?" He was informed. "I might have known it," said he sadly. "That man Is my partner."? New York Press.

It may be remembered that a short time ago some valuable admiralty plans disappeared from Chatham. Mr. McKenna, the first lord of the admiralty, admitted that they had been stolen, but a mystery surrounded their disappearance. It is now suggested that a well known international woman spy, who is ever ready to sell her services to the highest bidder, be it the Russian, German or French government, was res- , sponlble for the disappearance of those plans. It is known that she was in this country for some weeks prior to ] the incident and it is supposed that rinrinsr that time sha engineered the i plot which resulted in the vanishing of the Important papers. Whatever truth there may be in the story, it is a very feasible one, for it is usually women who prove the most successful spies. "When it comes to trickery and cunning," said a well known detective to the writer on one occasion, "there is no match for a clever woman. If she Is pretty into the bargain I would back her to beat the cleverest men at Scotland Yard nine times out of ten." And judging from the success of women in secret service work it would seem that the tribute is in no way exaggerated. It is only a short time ago that a beautiful and fashionably dressed teacher of languages, Fraulein Petersen, about 25 years of age, was arrested at Kiel, in Germany, on suspicion of j Deing" a i*xencn spy. out? wao oaiu w have entered Into a love affair deliberately with a non-commlssloned officer named Dietrich of the explosives department for the the purpose of Inducing' him to divulge Important German naval secrets. Dietrich, flattered by the attentions of such a beautiful woman, could deny her nothing, and at the time of the arrest was said to have been supplying her with the formula for the manufacture of the German smokeless powder (one of the most effective yet invented) and the situation of the port mines. To disguise her true occupation she posed as a teacher of languages. Suspicion was directed against her on account of the ample funds with which she was always provided and of her fear of giving the police the customary notice of her frequent changes of address. In Russia, where the secret service Is raised to the level of a fine art, the woman spy is recognized as an extremely valuable medium for obtaining information, not only about foreign matters but also concerning the varl)us revolutionary movements going on it home. One of the most notorious >f these feminine police spies is Mme. Toutchenko, who has been described as i female Azeff. This person, posing as one of the Terrorists, took part in their enterprises, md discovering all their plans gave information to the police. For this work >he obtained a handsome monthly saliry. She began her nefarious trade at :he age of 23, and her first big coup vas when she betrayed the Respontine plot against the czar in 1895. Scores )f those who had trusted her went Into :xile in Siberia on the plot being dis- ^ :overed. sne nerseii, 10 disarm suspicion, was ( lent away also, but was allowed to es- "r :ape and rejoin the revolutionists in ' >rder to obtain more information. One r )f her victims was a handsome girl tamed Frania Froumkin, who was sent * ;o the gallows after an abortive at- 8 ;empt to kill the prefect of Moscow. * The arch traitress wormed herself into he confidence of families, with the re- T lult that numbers of persons were banshed to Siberia. 1 Quite recently the French govern- * nent caused a large number of German 8 vomen employed on the eastern fron- 8 ;ler as barmaids to be expelled from 8 he country. These women had been vatched and found to be in the pay of ^ German spies, to whom they gave the nformation that they acquired from 1 istening to the conversation of drunk- * ;n sailors in the taverns. A more serious affair was that at \ iteims. Seven men and three women ' illeged to be paid agents of the Ger- c nan war office were arrested. The c hree women were in the habit, it was c iaid, of making the acquaintance of r loldiers and wheedling military secrets J >ut of them, which information they c lassed on to the men. Compromising v jorrespondence was found at their odglngs and seemed to reveal wholesale espionage by the women. As a r natter of fact the arrest of these men r uunucai, ? ? m Bak XAZ Royal is IT IS TRUE Now since It is true with people that ^ hey need a thorough purging out, and i tonic to build them up, it must be rue also of animals.

Allowing some discount for the spy mania which breaks out now and again in the various countries, there is no doubt that the secret service of every country' contains many spies who are on the qui vive for military and naval information concerning other powers, and among these spies women are to be found doing much important work. -Tit-Bits. QUEER HOSPITALITY. A Curious Experience In the Wilds of Arabia. Of the curious ideas of hospitality held by some of the natives of that wild country lying between Bagdad and Damascus two travelers, Captain 3 A */\l 1 (n thn Duller <11111 i_a.pimw ajiuici, icu >u vu? Geographical Magazine: "We found Feysul Ibn Rash id (a minor ruler of , ?labia) fi ling in a low room, the lvo.' of which was supported by wooden pillars. All round the sides of tlmt room were spread carpets, on which sat his viziers and members of his court He is a man of 33 years with a dark, pointed beard, good, regular features, but eyes that are cold and cruel, and he has a nervous, fidgety manner and was all the time arranging his abba (cloak) and combing and curling his mustache and beard and admiring himself in a small, cheap looking glass that hung just behind him. Above his head on the wall hung his silver mounted walking stick and a sword, the sheath of which was also covered In silver. He was very richly dressed. "On our arival at the house placed xt our disposal, we congratulated ourselves on our good fortune in having such a cordial welcome, but we were speedily disillusioned. We had not been there more than five minutes when Feysul's head slave, a richly dressed personage called Dahm, came to tell lis that the emir would not take our camels or our money as he had plenty jf both, but that he would like things if European make or of Interest that eve happened to have. This was only too true and during our five days' stay there was a continual procession of slaves and hangers-on from the castle demanding things for the emir and lis viziers and favorites and demanding them In such a way that it was impossible for us to refuse. At last we had practically nothing of any value eft, having been fleeced of watches, evolver, compasses, various clothes ind other articles of out kit. "Apart from this system of more or e3s polite robbery we were well treatid by the emir and had our food sent is from the castle by him. About three >r four times a day we had a royal :ommand from him and used to go up :o the castle and drink many cups of :offee and excellent sweet tea with ilm, and talk about his country and Europe. He was always very genial >n these ocaslons, and I honestly think le considered he was treating us well n not taking all we had and turning is adrift to die In the desert. ATHLETICS IN THE ARMY.

The one newspaper of San Francisco that continued to denounce graft and encourage Heney was the "Bulletin." The interests desired to cripple and punish the "Bulletin" and to reward the newspapers that did their will, says Charles Edward Russell In Success Magazine. All business houses are dependent for money supplies upon their banks. One day in the height of the conflict the head of a great department store which is also a great advertiser, stepped into the bank where he kept his accounts and wanted $100,000. It is one of the most famous banks in the west, and directly connected with the Southern Faciflc [railroad, which is connected with the Standard Oil, which is connected with about everything else that makes money. The president paused and hemmed and hawed. "You know, Mr. X?," says he., "money is very scarce in San Francisco." "I suppose so," says Mr. X?carelessly. "Very scarce," says the banker, "and we are making no large loans except to our personal friends." "Oh, well," says Mr. X?, "you and I have been friends for many years." "Yes," says the banker, "but if I let you have this money it will be on the grounds of personal friendship, and I shall ask you to do me a favor in return." "What is it?" says Mr. X?. "I see you advertise in the 'Bulletin.* " "The favor I ask is that you take out your advertisement there. That paper is injurious to the best interests of San Francisco and of business. We are not disposed to assist houses that advertise in the 'Bulletin.' Advertise in the papers friendly to business and we shall be glad to help you." Mr. X? explained that he advertised in the "Bulletin" only for the sake of the trade he thus secured. In the end they reached a compromise by which Mr. X?reduced by three-fourths his advertisement in the "Bulletin," and on these terms he got the money. A QUEEN'S BEAUTY. Alexandra Retains Youth By Simple Living. Queen Alexandra, of England, has long been the wonder of the world because of her remarkable appearance of youth. She has lived nearly 66 years, experiencing much sorrow and suffering, yet she looks younger than her youngest daughter and is besides a radiantly beautiful woman. It is not a matter of chance, however, but the result of careful study and attention by which a system of habits has been established that Is now instinctive, so that the beautiful Ylking princess has taken on an imperishable habit of youth; she will never grow old. To begin with, the queen has never permitted herself the evil luxury of anger or any show of bad temper. Nothing will so quickly age a person as anger, nothing so quickly dissipate the look of youth as vexation and Irritation, and the queen has never been known to lose her temper, consequently the wicked wrinkles that tell the tale of wasted forces are not written upon the smooth skin. The queen has always prepared herself for all great court functions with the most studied care; she is massaged and bathed in stimulating lotions and oils, and is properly nourished before the event, and immediately after any function she returns and is again rub bed and fed. At all times her majesty Is careful about her diet, for upon this she counts to keep her figure and the beauty and freshness of her skin which even now Is like that of a young girl, with a delicate bloom in the cheeks. She does not drink tea, coffee or chocolate or wine, milk being her only beverage. Cows are kept at the royal stables connected with all the royal residences, so that the milk is fresh and pure. She avoids condiments in her diet, pepper, vinegar and strong spices being eschewed by her. They dry the skin and produce wrinkles, besides affecting the liver, and she refuses desserts of a rich, heavy kind. She eats very little meat and rarely beeff. Chicken, tender birds, fish and eggs make up the substantial part of her diet. The queen is an ardent advocate of fresh air and exercise, although she has never adopted the strenuous sports of the English people. She Is fond of riding and driving, skating and of brisk walks at all times of the day and in all kinds of weather. She lives in cool rooms, never having the temperature above 60, and she believes In open windows. When at Sandringham, the royal country place, she spends nearly all her time out of doors with the animals in the garden and about her dairy.?Vogue. der it made Rawls Plumbing Co.
