"And they will trace it back to you

"I can go elsewhere," he replied
coldly.
"You would leave me?"
"The moment you crass my will,"
emphatically.

Meantime, inthelibrary of the Har-

"What are you two chattering

She sprang from her chair. "Do

"So it is," agreed Jim grimly.
Florence knelt beside her friend's

"You called me just in time. An

Jim accompanied the doctor to the
door and went in search of Jones. He

e'onee got a candle from the mantle,
lit it, .and. held the sheet of paper very,
close to the flame. Gradually, almost
itnperceptibiy, letters began to ferns
on .the blank sheet. At length the
message was complete,

The Russian was standing by a win-

"They heve all three taken oat 0a-

it to the floor•,and stamped out the
coal,
"I thought sol" he exclaimed, hold-
ing out the scrap of burnt paper to-
wards Braine.
The words "Dear Hargreave" were
all that remained of the message,
With a snarl of rage Braine whipped
out hie revolver,
"I will gigs you one minute to tell
me what the paper contained."
"And after that minute is up?"
"A bullet in your stomach."
Quick as a flash J.im's hand shot out
caught the loosely held revolver gave
It a wrench, and brought it down sav-
agely upon Braine's head. Then be
reversed it and backed toward the
front entrance.

Air Forced Through Heatltig Appar-
atus Does the Trick
An "air towel" used in the large
public levetere• in the District Build-
ing at Wasttteiattpn, D.O.; resembles a
•.octangular box eleven inches by
three, set fa a base having twelve -
inch legs, with an opening in the top
of the. case fn which the wet hands are
held while being dried. The device
consists of a blower that forces air
'.hrough an electric heating element
,o ducts and defectors suitably placed
for distrib,.ting the warmed air to all
parts of the hands at the same time,
t,nd its operated by a foot -lever or
i•edal, which in turn operates a quick
i:cting switch, thereby slitting the
blower 1n motion., By removing the
loot the device Is put out of oper-
i tion. The hands come 1n contact
with no part of` the device, thus est
I wring a perfectly sanitary operation.
1t takes juat thirty seconds to dry
the hands, and, says the "Scientific
American," although this seems a• long
'while standing with the hands in the'
prior and practically unoccupied, tests
have Shown that the ordinary oper-
ation of drying the hands with a towel
bonsumes more time it the hands are
b` o be dried as thoroughly as by the
lectricai drier.
