They met on the comPaelellsWay leading to the saloon at dinner time. The surprise Was mutual. Pat took Kelly's extended hand,and passed a few little pleasantries, while her aunt proceeded to their table. Just at parting the Sphinx remarked: "You have me completely puzzled, Miss Montez, I can never quite tell whether you are working with or against me." Pat bestowed one of her bewitching smiles upon Kelly,as she replied: "Perhaps, in America, you can make up your mind definitely." Then she hurried on to dinner, leaving the Sphinx more hi doubt than ever. In the days that were consumed hi the ocean voyage Pat found opportu- nity to interest herself in a se that particularly appealed to her warm- hearted and charitable disposition. The discovery was made quite by ac- \ cident. Among the passengers she had no- ticed a young man and his wife who seemed to be particularly objection- able, in their manner, to all of then: fellow passengers. Tie woman was particulaaly diffident and self-satis- fied. One morning Pat was walking alone on deck, approaching the second class. Her attention was attracted to a par- ticularly bright and Winsome baby that a forlorn -looking little mother was holding: on her lap. Pat very soon made the acquaint- ance of the mother and heard her piti- able story. The woman had been de- serted, after the man 'she loved had betrayed her, and she was now fol- lowing him to America, using the last of the fortune she once possessed .to provide for her transportation. "He is on board this ship, traveling first class with the woman who is wearing pearls and diamonds, pur- chased with -the money he induced me to give him when I believed in him," said the woman. And as she watch- ed the passengers walking on the up- per deck she pointed out to Pat the man and woman who were so unpopu- lar with their felloh passengers. "Philips, John Phillips; that's the man," said the poor soul as her eyes flashed hatred. And then she told Pat her story, in full detail. When she had finished Pat pressed a roll of bills into the woman's hand and eaid: "This is a pert PaYment On What that Men (MOB you, I'll celleat the reat, .411 Pay after we get to AMerrea. " It was decided between Pat And the woman that the baby and its :nether should be euro to remain eut of sight, that Phillips might not know be Was being watched And followed. Oe the night the etearnehip passed Nantueket Hell:411p, with good Beaux,- ance of landing ie New York the next morning, Pea made her move. The deck was deserted when Pet stealthily approached the door of the Phillips stateroom. The night Was hot and the door was fastened only with a hook, to keep it partly open. Pat quietly unhooked the door and en- tered the room. She soon emerged, and as stealthily as she had enterea, proceecled to her own room. , She had dressed in her Apache cos - tame, to give freedom of movement, And when she threw off her cape, in her own room, she fished out Of its capacious pocket a string of immense- ly valuable pear s. At daylight many of the passengers Listened to the Woman's Story. were awake and moving to watch the pilot come aboard. There suddenly arose upon the quiet air N, the shrill screams of Mrs. Phillips, shouting that she had been robbed of her pearls. Officers of the steamship quieted the Woman as soutras they could rash to her assistance. "We are not responsible for your loss, Mrs. Phillips," said the captain of the boat. "But we will do all we can to help you find them." Turning to one of his officers, the captain said: "We have Sphinx Kelly, the famous detective on board, and it should be a matter fax him to look into at once. Have him come to my cabin and I will arrange matters with him," The Sphinx was among the first passengers to gain the upper deck, as the officers had prevented others from hurrying to the scene when Mrs. Phillips first created the uproar. But a word of explanation from Kelly got him quickly past the sentinel. "The captain is looking for you, sir," HELP WIN THE WAR It is the duty of every subject of the Allies to help win the WAR, and they can best do it by preventing WASTE and storing up for the COMING WINTER all food products, especially those perishable foods such as fruits and vegetables.

The Sphinx had no doubt es to who had taken the pearls, But there was no proof, merely upon his own sus. nicions he was averse to proceeding. He twitched Pat while She was itt breakfast with her aunt and instruct- ed his assistants to report her move- ments immediately thereafter, When word came to him that Pat had gone down tp the second cabin, Kelly waited near the companion way until she.returned. She was carrying a baby in her arms and proceeded at once to her own stateroom. Kell' waited a few moment and then, directing his assistants to follow him, the Sphinx made his way to Pat's stateroom and knocked upon the door. There was no anwser when he first rapped upon the panel, put upon knocking a second time Pat invited him to enter . The Sphinx opened the door and stepped into Pat's stateroom. His as- sistants remained outside, awaiting developments. (To be continued.) ONE ASPECT OF THE NAVY'S WORK OVERSEA TRADE OF GERMANY HAS DISAPPEARED', Our Mercantile Marine Maintains Its Ceaseless Watch Over Every German Harbor. The work of the British navy during this war has fallen under two main divisions—military and commercial. There is the fighting fleet and there is the blockading fleet, writes Sydney Brooks.

It is not true, ne has been believed, that our soldiers hold their lime for long periods without relief or rest be- yond the range of the enemy's guns. In the earlier etages oi the war, whil Germany's available man -power w a much greater on the western front than that of France or Britain, it was necessary to keep the infantry in the front fine, that ie, actually holding the trenches, and liable to attack at any moment of the day or night, for peri- ods of two weeks at a time. In sup- port, still well within field gun range, it was not uncommon to keep batta- lions for a month or more. Thereswas one period during which all Canadian battalions in the line and in support were subjectst? all the hazards of war for several months, without any rest periods. Only the urgent necessity of those days justified the subjecting of largo bodies of men to such an inces- sant strain, As the use of artillery increases and guns of heavier calibre are brought forward to smash trenches and other defence positions the need for more frequent rest periods for the men holding the line increases also. Sel- dom now are they kept in the front line trenches fax more than eight days. Often an even shorter "tour" is ar- ranged. Sometimes en entire division, after a trying time, is taken back to rest billets for lengthy periods of re- cuperation. Life in the Rest Billets.

A demi of the monsters are living stretched out in the warm afternoon sun, being •'.60mbed and oiled and secured by their industrious attend- ants.

In the darkness one of the raiders foetid himself separated from his companions in the enemy trenches. Dodging round one of the traverses, he almost ran into a tall Young German poised ready to fling a bomb. At that moment a star:shell went up, and in the dazzling light the two men recognised each other. With a gasp of astonishment each cried out the other's name. Tommy and His Tailor.

The two arrived safely in the 13ri. tish lines. There it transpired that, although English by training and sympathy, the prisoner was German by birth. Being in Frankfort at the outbreak of war, he had perforce to join the German army. The writer once witnessed an emus • ing encounter between a Tommy who was something of a "nut" in the old days and his tailor, to whom he still owed a big bill. The two were in dif- ferent regiments, although at the time they were engaged in the same worla ((I> Mg -Party. It was bitterly cold, and there was an issue of rum that morning. The tailor was unlucky enough to upset his mess -tin pa which he bad just drawn his ration, He glanced around in despair, and discovered his old but unprofitable customer with an unusually liberal share of the comforting spirit. "Let's have a mouthful, old son," said the tailor persuasively. "Why should 1?'" asked the other, with his mouth to his mess-dn. '"Well, considering that I clothed you fax a couple of years and never got a penny for my pains, I don's see why you shouldn't give me a drop of rum," said the tailor. "Good heavens !
