They walked past it once, and then

in two -common bays going into it to
have their hair cut. An old man came
forward to receive them. He was
evidently glad of their modest patron-
age. He undertook to attend to The
Rat- himself, •but, having arranged
him • in • a chair, he turned about and
called to some one in the back room.
"Heinrich," he said.
In the slit in Marco's sleeve was
the sketch of the man with smooth
curled hair, who looked like a hair-
dresser. They had found a corner in
which to take their final look at it be-
fore they turned back to, come in.
Heinrich, who came forth from the
small back room, had smooth curled
hair. He looked extremely like a
hair -dresser. He had features like
those in the sketch -- his nose and
mouth and chin and figure were like
what Marco had drawn and commit -
ed to memory. But -
He gave Marco a chair and tied

as he had previously been silent and
preoccupied. He moved in his chair,
to the great discomfort of the old
hair -dresser. He kept turning his
head to talk. He asked Marco to

him to ask the two men. They were
questions about the Citadel - about
the Monchsberg-the Residenz - the
Glockenspiel -the mountains. He ad-
ded one query to another and could

"What shall I do?" Marco was
thinking. "He's not the man."
He did not give the Sign. He must
go away and think it out, though
where his thoughts would lead him
he did not know. This was a more
difficult problem than he had ever
dreamed of facing. There was no
one to ask advice of. Only himself
and The Rat, who was nervously
wriggling and twisting in his chair.
"You must sit still," he said to him.
"The hairdresser is afraid you will
make him cut you by accident."
• "But I want to know who lives at
the Residenz?" said The Rat. "These
men can tell us things if you ask
them."
"It is done now," said the old hair-
dresser with a relieved air. "Perhaps
the cutting of his hair makes the
young gentleman nervous. It is some-
times so."
The Rat stood close to Marco's chair
and asked questions until Heinrich al-
so had done his work. Marco could
n o t understand h i s companion's
change of mood. He realized that, if
he had wished to give the Sign, he
had been allowed no opportunity. He
could not have given it. The restless
questioning had so directed the older
man's attention to his son and Mar-
co that nothing could have been said
to Heinrich without his observing it.
"I could not have spoken if he had
been the man," Marco said to him-
self.
Their very exit from the shop
seemed a little hurried. When they
were fairly in the street, The Rat
made a clutch at Marco's arm.
"You didn't give it?" he whisper-
ed breathlessly. "I kept talking and
talking to preVent you."
Marco tried not to feel breathless,
and he tried to speak in a low and
level voice with no hint of exclama-
tion in it. .
"Why dii3, you say that?" he ask-
ed.
The Rat drew closer to him.
"That was not the man!" he whis-
pered. "It doesn't matter how much
he looks like him, he isn't the right
one." -
• He was pale and swinging along
swiftly as if he were in a hurry.

said. "Those queer things you've

Every Town
Wants Industries
, ' Every industry, be it large er small, adds to the progress and
prosperity of any community. Every such industry brings new capi-
tal to a town, and distributes this among the business men generally
in the way of wages and salaries. Everybody benefits.
Among local 'industries there is none of greater importance in
any community than that of the local home newspaper. Not only does
it provide employment for a certain number of workmen, but it of-
fers a service to the community which could be obtained in no other
way.
In their own best interests, therefore, business men should use
their local paper for purposes of advertising, and also for the pro-
curing of their requirements in PRINTING. All business men need
printed matter of various kinds from time to time. Remember your
local printing office when in need of printed matter.
