,TRIItTEENTII EPISODE—(Ceuta.)
Their meeting place,• in cit small of,.
fine On the upper floor of a building
hi the factory district wail -known, and
at the session of the Apaches, held ,to
decide what should be done,. Patde-
clared she would, herself, undertake
an investigation of the murderous
plot. Delegating several of her men
to accompany her, Pat appointed the
time and place where' the Apaches
were to assemble for the new adven-
tureti
Fust as the meeting in the Rouse
of Mystery was about to adjourn, ono
of Pat's Apaches -entered the room,
loading a man who„had been blind-
folded, with his hands securely tied
behind him. When questioned by the
leader, •i,h.a Apache said:
I think this is one of Kelly's men.
We just found him prowling around
the lawn, and thought we would bring
him hi.” At a signal from Pat, the
scarf that,hadbeen bound over the
mar's eyes was removed.
"Why are you prowling around my
house?" Pat demanded of the stranger.
"Because I have an appointment
With, one of your mon. I arranged to
bring these plane," said the prisoner,
as he fished out of his pockets a fold-
ed Paper..
At that instant another Apache ea -
tired the Teem; ,and eagerly hailed
Pat's pnelioner. The explanation that
followed disclosed to Pat that the
man was telling the truth; that he
hadmurade,an appojntlneptto meet the
Apache,lvho had lastzentered the room,
and that his capture had:prematurely
interfered with the appointment:'
Investigtittdfi of the 'plans proved
that they were charts ethitt the an-
arthiats had made,' in' Contemplation
of their air-raid on New York. The
Apache had made a friend of the an-
arehist, and had secured hie promise
to deliver the maps. '•
Very well satisfied with develop-
ment's thus far, Pat ordered the man
to be again tlindfolded and led from
the room into the open, with liberty to
proceed at will. • Just then Pat. was•
treated to a surprise.
When Pat's men led their. prisoner
'la the roome•aiid descended to the
/id by the secret gangway that led
`Item the side of the house they neg-
yyected to close 'the exit behind them.
c,'.oi'hile they were taking their captive
Ze across the lawn, Phil Kelly and his
'y.rnen, who had long been watching for
,i just such an, opportunity, suddenly
pounced upon the Apaches; and with
well-directedeblows, put them out of
commission.
Disregarding the fate of the blind-
folded captive, once the Apaches had
been efrectuall.yy disposed of, Kelly and
his man. made haste to enter the house.
They hurried up the runway and,'dis-
appeared inside.
As Pat• and her mein were adjourn-
ing, Kelly and his assistants suddenly
appeared in the doorway leading; from
the hall, and covered the Apaches and
their leader with revolvers. The sur-
prise was complete,. •
"Hands mil" Kelly shouted. "We
have you covered. Line up along the
wall."
One by one the Apaches lined theme
selves against the wall. While one
of Kelly's men searched them for fire-
arms, Pat moved -to the fartl:er end
of the table. When Kelly started
after her, she moved until Kelly'stood
at one end of the table, with Pat op-
posite.
"You men come to this end .of the
table,"' Kelly comnaanded'`his assist
ants. 'Keep ,the men copiei'ed, while
I go 'after thegirl," was his supple-
mental . order . when his•: men had
reached his side.
But before Kelly could move to
make good his purpose, .the fiber
dropped from under the three detec-
tives, and they were once more
trapped in the same bole where they
had before nearly lost their lives. Pat
had pushed a button that let the floor
drop from under the detectives.
Kelly was wild with rage when be
recovered his math, knocked out of
his body by the sudden tumble into the
cellar. One of his men had fortunate-
ly, for the detectives, fallen in such a
moaner that his body prevented the
sliding sides of the "well" to complete-
ly roach the flooring.
But for this Piecumstance, Pat would
have had Kelly and his men securely
trapped.
Meanwhile, Pat and her men, secure
from any danger that might have
threaenecl through the presence of
Kelly and his men, proceeded with
their plans. The men Pat had dele-
gated to assist her proceeded on their
various missions,
The Apaches spread out and were
soon .in communication with the an-
archists',' s. Believing in the supposed
friendliness of Pat's Hien, the conspire
ators gave valuable inforrnatien, all
of which was reported to Pat in time
to be useful.
Seine time after Kelly had disap-
peared through the 'trap, Pat sent one
0f her men to release the detectives;
Her investigator 'reported that the
trap was empty, and the smile' that
overspread the girl's beautiful face
indicated that she was neither sur-
prised nor disappointed.
Shortly afterward a git'1 left the
House of Mystery with a nate ad-
dressed to,the Sphinx. When Pat's
messenger arrived at Kelly's aerie
quarters she was • shown immediately
intb his apartment.
"You have so cleverly escaped I,
congratulate you. Now I challongol
you to interfere with my plans to save
Wall street, Kelly read aloud from
the note, signed "Purple Mask,"

enough to give play to a prank that

PLAYINGFOR THE "POILUS."
Groups of Actors and Singers Cheer
Wearied Fighters in France.
Scenes from Shakespeare have been
successfully played by British sol-
diers, but the most notable perform-
ances at the front have not been by
amateurs, Mrs. Maud ,Radford War-
ren recently' enjoyed tiie opportunity
of travelling with a little group of
French actors' and singers who --like
many others—were giving their ser-
vices to cheer the wearied fighters
just behind the fighting line, whose
need for diversion and relaxation is
well understood. Their•entertainment,
although in :part patriotic or senti-
mental, was for the most part gay;
but in the players there was a spirit
of passionate patriotism and devotion
behind the comedy. Here is the de-
scription of a typical performance,
given in a barn, which the soldiers had
cleared out and provided as best they
could with.improvised stage, and bur-
lap curtains that two "poilus" stood
ready to pull_ apart.
As we crossed the muddy floor, says
the author; a little string orchestra of
"poilus" began to play. While the
performers went behind the dressing
curtain 1 stayed and applauded the
piusidians.e.At•the end'of'Mteir piece,
when I told them how good their work
was; the leader said: •
"Ah, madame should have heard us
before the attack at Verdun! We hied
some members then; but half of us
were lost in that first half hour."
When. the orchestra began to play
again and the ofieers entered, I went
behind the curtain. Mme, Dussand
was backed against the wall with her
lips moving and her beautiful eyes
somewhat glazed.
"If I didn't know better," I began,
"I should think—"
"Ah, but I sin nervous,"'she said.
"It's not the ordinary ,.stage fright,
but something deeper, something near-
er my heart. . . Do you know, ma-
dame, that the greatest artists in
France, or the most indifferent, trem-
ble like novices -before the soldiers, al-
though they aye always so responsive,
so devoted—"
Her voice broke and she could not
finish.
The narrator, too, a little later,
grew teary as in the ducky space of
the great barn she peered out from
behind the curtains on the blue, dim
mass of uniforms and those patient,
brave, standing men, who had been
through such horrors, and who' were
waiting so gratefully for the artists
who were going to bring them a little
gayety!
"Ah, madame," said M. Boyer at my
elbow, "do not drive the tears back.
They are worthy of it, these soldiers
of France. In our hearts, all of us
artists weep whenever ,we play for
them."
In the same spirit, although with
more fire, the singer, Mme. Nina May,
a Frenchwoman from New Orleans,
flashed out indignantly when she
learned that the crabbed caretaker of
a provincial town hall had scolded a
soldier audience for tracking mud
over the floors.
"Track mud over your floorsl" cried
the sweet -voiced, gentle, blue-eyed,
blonde lady,dY, with crushing indigna-
tion.

tion, "They could track mud over my
heart if they wanted to!"

PROBLEM OF RE-

WITH TRADE TRAINING HERO
HOBOES ARE UNKNOWN- •
M.H,C, Trade S4hoolp Are Canada's
Safeguard, Says Authority
On Sociology,

vagrancy lies deep in every man, and

ada streams of - veterans who will

dustrial scheme of life is absolutely.
unsupported by the findings of socio-
logical research, according to Dr.
Franklin Johnson, the director of the
Department of Social Service in the
University of Toronto, and .one of •the
foremost authorities in his ling in
Canada.
"Lack of vocational training," de-
clared Dr. Johnson, "was the chief
contributing .factor in the scourge of
vagrancy which claimed 50,000 men in
Canada before the war began, and the
action of the government through the
Military- Ilospitals • Commission in of-
fering vocational ' training to every,
man who returns incapacitated for
his former livelihood, is not only a
safeguard against new recruits being
made by that army of shirkers, but
boon to all of Canada,
Product of Competition.
"No man wants to be a bum. They
are made chiefly through the grind of
competition upon the -mass of unskill-
ed laborers. Once a man finds his
place in life there's a certain adhe-
siveness in association which holds
him in his place.
"Giving the returned man a chance
to learn trades, and allowing them to
make their own choice, as the Com-
mission is doing, will not only benefit
the man and his family but the whole
Dominion.
Trade Develops Responsibility.
"The man who is merely a filler in
the industrial scheme, with no special
part to play rarely develops a sense of
responsibility. Give him a trade in
which he can become adept and feel
his work is of importance, and he be-
comes not only interested but a re-
sponsible member of society."
The Military Hospitals Commission
is training every returned man, who
by reason of his disabilities is unable
to resume his former occupation, for
a new trade which he is allowed to
choose. Experts who know his physi-
cal limitations, his abilities and the
labor market guide him in his deci-
sion, and thus he is insured against
learning a trade in which he might
not be able to continue long, or one
for which there is insufficient demand,
M.H.C. Records.
The records show that many men
who were laborers, teamsters, well -
diggers, unskilled helpers lir factories,
etc., have been so trained during their
convalescence as to go back into
civilian life as skilled mechanics, of-
fice men and artisans.
Illiterate men have learned to react
and write; and scores have been re-
turned to industrial Life to earn sal-
aries larger than they ever enjoyed
before.
MOSQUITOES IN WAR
As Well As in Times of Peace They
Are Instruments of Torture
When the Persians under King
Sepors were besieging the city of
Nisibus, mosquitoes in vast multitudes
fell upon them, attacking not only the
fighting men, but also elephants
elephants
and pack animals. Thele wee. nothing
to do but to quit, and the Beisians did
it, the city being thereby saved from
capture and sack.
Evidently, then, mosquitoes may
play en important part in war. Moses,
apparently, did not think to inflict •.a
plague of'mosquitoes on the Egyp-
tians, but this may have been because
they hall •plenty of it already. In
ancient days (according to Herodotus)•
the rich folk of, Egypt, to get away
from mosquitoes, were driven ep the
expedient of buildin • tall ll tower
p g 4 s, on
the tops of which they could sleep in
peace.
The mosquito is not a high flyer,
She—for it is the female that does the
biting—does not rise in flight above
the third story of an ordinary home.
One might imagine, then, that the oc-
cupant of a bed on the fourth floor
would be safe. And this idea would
be correct if it were not for the stair's.
Once indoors, the mosquito can and
does ascend from :floor to floor as
readily as you or I.
Thus it happens that in apartment
houses mosquitoes may climb to the
twelfth or the sixteenth story. Eleva-
tors help them; they get aboard in
company with human passengers, atria
in this way obtain transportation.
Some of those that arrive at the top
story fly out of the windows and lay
their eggs in puddles in clogged roof -
gutters. Such puddles are a prolific
sourde of mosquito supply for flat
houses.
Others, o1 reaching various floors,
whether by the stairs or by the con-
venience of the elevator, fly over the
transoms of apartments deserted by
tenants for the suinmer, and lay their
eggs in the bathroom tanks. The
water in suet tanks, remaining undis-
turbed for many weeks, may be count-
ed upon under such eke:instances to
yield an enormous crop of mosquitoes
---indeed, a continuous and inexhausti-
ble supply for the torture of the etey-
at-homes in the warm 5e0500,

A DOG'S AMBUSCADE.
Hoty He Outwitted the Coyote With
the Aid of an Ally.
Y
In an account ofsagacity the of his
clog, Scotch, Mr. Enos A, Mille tells
his readers in his book Wild Life in
the Rockies that the dog objected to
the coyotes that lived on a rocicef slope
near the author's cabin, Into the
tangled forest of pines tho coyotes al-
ways retreated • when Scotch gave
chase, and into this retreat he dared
not pursue them. So long as the
Coyotes sunned themselves, kept quiet
and played, Scotch merely watched
them contentedly from afar; but the
instant they began to howl and yelp,
he raced over and chased them into
the woods. .
One day, when Scotch was busy
driving the pack into the woods, a
coyote that trotted lame with the
right foreleg emerged from a rocky
crag at the edge of the open, ran to
the rear of Scotch and set up a chorus
of yells and howls, to the great annoy-
ance of the collie, evho at once raced
back and chased the noisy taunter into
the woods. But Scotch no sooner
turned to the rest of the pack than the
cunning coyote came out again anti
defied, him, Once more Scotch had to
chasethe coyote into the tines and y pines, c a
few moments later he had to repdat
the manoeuvre. He carne back from
this chase pantiiag and tired and ob-,
viously worried.
The incident seemed to prey upon
him to such an extent, says Mr, Mills,
that I became a little anxious about
him. One day when I went for the
maim, I allowed Scotch to go with inc,

the next morning slid the dog come
home, and then he was accompanied
by a collie that belonged to a rancher
who livedout n

remembered seeing the dog at the post
office the day before. •
In the afternoon I heard the varied
voices of the coyote pack and went
out with my glass to watch proceed-
ings, wondering' what part the visit-
ing collie would play,
There went Scotch, as I supposed,
racing for the yelping pack, but the
visiting collie was not to be seen. The
pack beat the usual retreat, and while
the dog that I supposed to bo Scotch

came the limping coyote, harrying to-
ward the willow clump from behind
which he was accustomed to yelp tri-
umphantly in Scotch's rear.
The lame coyote came round the
willow Clump as usual and threw up
his head as if to bay. Then the un-
expected happened. On the instant a
collie that I now recognized as Scotch
leaped out of the 'willow clumii and
carne clown upon the coyote's back.
'They rolled about for some time be-
fore the coyote shook himself free
and started for the woods, only to be
grabbed again by the visiting collie.
For a time both dogs fought the
coyote fiercely; but he at last tore
himself free and escaped . into the
pines, badly wounded and bleeding. I
never enw him again. That night the
visiting collie went home, As Scotch
was missing for a time, I think he

AUTUMN CO)ORS
The Falling Leaf Has Yielded Its
Chloraphell to the Parent Stein.
The leaves whieh are now falling off
and carpeting the lanes, and coppiees
are veritable ohemistes,
After a sunny summer day, if you
take a leaf and dip it in a solution of
iodine, abs green alters, as if by magic
into an indigo tinge, The reason is
that the leaf was filled with starch,,
and the idoine has revealed its pre-
- sense by a slight chemical change.
Leaves make starch for their plants
. out of the air we breathe, and oat of
the rain, and out of a few "salts"
But while the leaf contains starchee,
proteids, and sugar necessary for the
plant's life, it also contains a sub-
stance known to the chemist as chloro-
phyll green. Chlorophyll gives to the
leaf its emerald tint, and on the pre-
sence of this tint, in the summer
fields, the life of a rnan depends,
Chlorophyll green is the only sub-
stance which can break up rocks and
stones, converting them into starches
and sugars.
This is where autumn begins its
extraordinary work. If the chloro-
phyll contained in the plants were to
perish with the "fall of the leaf,"
there would be an end to the vegetable
kingdom, and "man the biped" would
also disappear!
Long before the leaf falls the chloro-
phyll is yielded up to the parent stem,
also the starch and the proteids, and
the denuded foliage gives us our au-
tumn tints,

Broom Corn. Provides Three Profitable
Harvests Annually in Texas.
Harvesting three crops • of broom
corn from one planting in a single
season, the yield from each cutting
being about one ton to the acre of
broom corn, is'what is being accom-
plished in this section of the lower,
Rio Grande Valley, Texas, this year.
The average price received for the
brush, which is used in the manu-
facture of high grade brooms is $310
per ton, or a total of $030 per acre,
In this region, which only a few years'
ago was ..a wilderness of mesquite
trees and prickly pear, situated more
than 100 miles from the nearest
way outlet there is being rapiclIy de- •
veloped the greatest broom corn grow-
ing industry in the United.States.
There is being grown here this sea-
son 40,000 acres of this product and
the extremely high prices which deal-
ers are paying for the brush are
bringing fortunes to many farmers.
The fact that the growing season is
practically continuous throughout the
twelve months of the year makes the
possibilities of the industry unusually,
attractive.
The first planting is usually made
in January, and as rapidly as one crop;
is matured it is cut and from the,
stubble there is quickly produced a
second and third crop. 'All of the
broom crop in the valley territory lei
grown by means of irrigation:
