Amidst all the afternoon traffic on Fifth Ave. he knocks dawn a man whom he sees brutally rubbing a hunchback's hunch, and then runs. At an auction Ainsley makes a small purchase of tapestry and then sits back and: watches the _rroceoclings. The auctioneer holds up a golden box, studded with jewels, that had been made for a multimillionaire of vulgar tastes. The box is sold for $65,000 to Marcus Anderson, a man who be- came, during the war, one of the rich- est men in the world. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The grocer grinned. "It ain't hard to remember them," he said. ! hat's _exactly my point," I told him. "You give me a list of your cus- tomers who pay their bills promptly, and I'll give you .five per cent. on every sale I make. And for your trouble, so you'll know your time isn't wasted, I'll give you twenty dollars right now." "Pair enough," said the grocer en- thusiastically. And he took me into his ,office. An hour later I left him, armed with a list that would have been worth money to a yellow newspaper. For 'the great public would have been in- terested to ]snow that some of its fa- shionable idols never paid a bill, even a food -bill, until a court summons was starved upon then. For the grocer, a simple-minded soul, lead given me the names of those to avoid as well as those to visit. He would have been surprised had he. seen me, in my own apartment a little later, carefully de- stroying his list. For I wanted none of its details. W13atI wished to find out from my friend the grocer was the personnel of the household before which Anderson's town car had stop- -ped. And who should know that per- sonnel better than the tradesman who supplied the house' with food? And this I had learned in casual converse - on without seeming to ask for in- formation, The Due de Mantarlier, then, was the gentleman who had rented furn- iehed for a term of twelve months the privateahouse on the side -street neer the Avenue. He was a distinguished - looking Frenchman. Ah, how well I knew that! His secretary, Raoul Lo - tier,' a hunchback, paid all his bills and paid them every week. The Duc had no other French servants. Ile had acquired a staff of Japanese help from an employment agency, and so far as my friend the grocer knew, the Jap not only did the ordering but ran all the domestic machinery. There were no women employed in the house. Visitors? My grocer dad net know. I spent that evening in the public library, going over the files, for the past winter, of that New York paper which devotes' most space to the chrons feting of cooial events. Yet, carefualy as I studied the so-called society col- umns, I never ran aeras' the name of the Due de Montarlier, The White Eagle, .then, had acquir- ed no social prominence. That meant one of two things—that he dared not risk recognition, or that he was work- ing with a definite objective and not merely noticing the acquaintance of numbers of rich persons' whom he hoped to rob. It was then eafe to as - seine that Marcus Anderson was rich enough 'to be legitimate game for the Frenchman, and despite his wealth, stlup(d enough to make the White Eagle feel certain of success. But he had not robbed Anderson yet. That was obvious, The White ;Eagle was not the sort to linger on i after the carcass was eaten. In bed that night I asked myself again the 'question: what, when and how? * * d< * * The morning papers answered inc. For they chronicled yesterday's auc- tion, and in mentioning the purchase Of the gold- box by Marcus Anderson, added the illuminating line, "who sails 1 rid myself of my excitement. If my logic Was correct, the thing ter Ale to do wee to watch A.ndereen's house, It was one of the few ewer eons when I have regretted the hick of asele pints, A few spiesto report the situation, to (tap out the 'ground— Vat a single link 7s more powerful than a chain, because it hes no joints. If I failed, because lacked followers, S could coiieole myself by thinking at the hundred's, aye; thousands, of men who have, gone to jail because their confederates betrayed them, But I hated to fail From the first moment when in a Paris dance -hall I had seen Coehet, the memory of his arrogant conceit lead lingered with me. 1 would rather rob him than have access to the vaults of the Treasury. And if one man could outwit him, I Would be that man. So I lingered that Wednesday night in the basement areaway of a house opposite. the man - Pion ,ton of Anderson. Yesterday's balmy atmosphere had not lingered. until to- night, It was bitterly cold; yet ex- citement and the fear of being discov- ered by a passing policeman kept nie warm, And when I saw the White Eagle and his secretary alight from an atitomobilo and enter that garish palace, I knew that my reasoning had thus far been, correct. * * * * * Now, I had made no definite plan. Suddenly it occurred to me that even if the White Eagle and his companion descended the Anderson steps carry- , ing the fruits of crime in their hands, i it woulcl be no easy matter for me to !deprive them of those fruits. After all, I was no highwayman; I relied on wit and eurprise far my success. Why, then, was I luring in this. areaway? IBefore I answered this question, I tried to put myself in the White Eagle's place. He had cultivated Anderson's ae- quaintance for the purpose of robbing the millionaire. That robbery must occur tonight or bo indefinitely post- poned. It would be a robbery of fin- esse and subtlety; the White Eagle weuid not resort to violence save in the last extremity. Now, if the rob- bery were one of violence, the White Ea'gle's departure from Anderson's house would be a pellmell affair. Into such an affair I would not thrust my- self. On the other hand, if finesse and subtlety won the battle, the two crim- inals would leave their host in leis- urely fashion. In that case, where would they go? I could not believe that the White Eagle had brought with him many of his Parisian followers, To do so would be to court suspicion. The French police keep in fairly close touch with the detective bureaus of other coun- tries. It might be possible for the White Eagle and one or two compan- ions to slip quietly oat of France without attracting notice. But if he took many of his followers with him, he would be running an unnecessary risk. It was fair to assume, then, that in this American venture of his, he was --working practically alone—in which case he would not have many d'iffer'ent rendezvous where,he and his followers could meet. Also, the White Eagle, like any -great general—and he was that—prepared in advance for de- feat. lie would not wish to flee blinds d in ele,event of victory; and hi case of defeat it would not perhaps be nee- essary to flee. In other words, if the An hour later I left him, armed White Eagle did not succeed in rob- bing Anderson, he would return quiet- ly to the house which he had, rented. And if he succeeded in robbing the millionaire, he would probably return to that house. In his stay of several. months in New York he must have ec- quired certain things of value and of bulk, which he would wish to take with him in the event of flight, And' prob- ably, unquestionably, if I knew the man, he would accomplish his purpose so subtly that he would have a start of at least an hour or two before his crime was discovered. Having no fadlowere here to guard ether rendezvous, it was almost in- evitable that he would return to his house. I was cooling my heels to no purpose here. So I went to the Ode -street on which the White Eagle lived. Arrived in the neighborhood of his house, and follow- ing the same train of reasoning which had brought me here, I decided that he must have let his servants go for the night, if he had not, indeed, discharg- ed them. Nothing venture, nothing gain! I boldly rang the bell at the 'servants' entrance slightly below the street level. I rang it half a dozen times. And then I did something which I rarely do, but at which I am extremely capable. I picked the lock and entered: the house, (To be continued,) witit a list. for South America on Thursday to nettle the Sinai details in the amalga- mation of various cattle interests in the Argentine." Today was Wednesday, The White Eagle cultivated no acquaintance with- out reasod: He was friendly with An- derson because he intended to rob Elm. That robbery- had not occurred up to yesterday.

The White Eagle had been very friendly with Anderson at luncheon at the Mira - beau. They were, seemingly, inti- mates. Solna time today, then, the Frenchman would call upon Anderson to say farewell, and. then the robbery would take place. And there would be no other guests present when ,the White Eagle made that call. I could bo sure of that. My reasoning told me that, anxious as Anderson might be to advertise les friendship with the Due, the White Eagle would have for- bidden such exploitation. There would bo no others present 'at the White Eagle's call. THE PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION of Canada EOtayltahed 1907. Assets 8299,107.00, nnrulus to policyholders otter 3100,000.00 TIOSI.

"Mothers should not wean their babies during thesummer months," ad- vises this physician, "not' lmmeriate- ly before if it can bo avoided. June, July and August especially are the months to continue feeding as before, and May and September if they itre very hot. If a child is a year old in either July or August, it is much bet- ter to postpone weaning until Septem- ber. If it is a year old in June, it should be started on small amounts of cow's milk in February so that weaning can lid completed in April— unless the health of child and mother is excellent and much care is taken in weaning' in June. 'Remember that good milk in 'full quantities will protect a child against deficiency diseases,' continues the "Physical Culture" writer, "and with fruits and vegetables will be all the child can possibly need. Be careful to avoid overfeeding espscialy in hot weather. Do not feed little ones starchy foods.

The Silver Jubilee of Aviation "Twenty-five years since the first successful airplane took the air; twenty-five years since the United States Army purchased its first air- plane; fifteen years since the first overseas aerial expedition was dis- patched by the army to the Philip- pine Islands; seventy-five years since Beleguic invented his traction screws for airplanes—the first real thought of the modern airplanes; 'one hundred and sixty years since Paueton con- ceived the idea, in 1708, of an appar- atus with two screws, suspensive and propulsive, for airplanes—all these we celebrate this year!" says G. K. Spencer, President of the Maritime Air Service, in the July Current His- tory. He continues; "Starting in 1927 with the daezliug break -through of Lindbergh, victory has come upon victory, , Though much of the impetus is directly due to significant achievement in the science of motor design such as the develop, ment of the high-powered, air-cooled motors and of metals lighter than wood (only a dream ten years ago), yet a not inconsiderable factor has been the orderly collection of sem- graphical and aerological fac g e p g t, We now have the airplane In the field of exact science, It has been twenty- five years of pioneering." The writer points out that of the seven United States Army "Gold "Eagles" (recipients of the army gold eagle badge, signifying a "senior mili- tary arbiter") only one is dead, two are retired and four are still active flying officers. Those nen lad techni- cal advance at a time when it was a difficult matter to induce men to enter the air service.
