.A novelist, seeking nocturnal a�
venture, leaves the ball room of
Marchioness of Drimning • at t
o'clock_ .ui the morning. While ''sten

S'hepherd's Market he hears a woms'n

mouth he gallantly offers to assist th And to amazed when the
man addresses hint as "No. 9." Be
ing unable to capture the dog the
novelist resolves to penetrate the mys
tery. Presently several men corn
upon the scene and he is blindfolde
and taken to part of London strange
to him. Many people are assemble
there who plot o kill the Emperor u
Berengaria. The novelist is ad•draase
as "No. 9," and is asked to voice hi
opinion.

-'simple to nick him between the sheer'

assent, as I made a nicking gesture.
"In that case," said the chairman,
"you would do the removal, and I take
it that No. 5 would be ready to assist
you in escaping by having a taxi in
readiness. However, you will remem-
ber that it is more usual, when a fe-
nhale conlrad'e is employed, for her to
do the removal while the mare mem-
ber drives the taxi."
We discussed this for a short time,
and I made quite a pretty picture of
myself lurking at the corner of Graf-
ton Street, Watching for the Boren-
garian to Dome out of PoimfZey's. But
No. 5 cut us short:
"No. That is perfectly useless. It
is most difficult to escape from a dis-
trict like Band Street. There is too
much traffic, and the road is generally
up. When i was concerned with the
removal of Schlopstein, 'the traitor, in
Fifth Avenue, I was very nearly
caught. If I had not run over a
policeman, I should not be here."
"Certainly," said the chairman,
politely, "there is something in what
you say, No. 5. Though, of course, I
assume that you aro not thinking of
your own life."
"Oh, no," said the lady, carelessly,
"That ie not of the slightest import-
ance. But I dislike -inefficient work.
I say the park."
"Have you thought out a plan?"
"Yes. You are aware that the Em-
peror of Berengaria rides sixteen
stone? Therefore his horse does not
go very fast"
"Well, assuming that Is the -case?"
"What I propose is as follows: No.

"We can't bother about that," said

replied; out of habit.

I pot the money into my pocket, and
thanked him with a smile.

"Take my arm," I replied, and we

trembled under the light weight of the

"I say," I remarked, "I can't go on

She drew a little away: "How do
you mean? We have no names. We
are but lonely atones working toward
a common end."
"I know," 5 replied, for I realized
that in such adventures names are
not used: "But, all the salve, you and

Wool -Growing' in a Hurry.
An invention which' makes sheep's
wool grow faster was described by Pro-
feaster
rofalser Banker, of Leeds University, at
the international eonfersnce of sheep=
breeders at Chester, Engle.:el,
He said a Japanese- doctor had
pieced on the market a fluid which,
when injected in the veins of a shaep,
eay, every two days;, promotes rapid.
growth of wool.
"So rapid is the growth said. to be,"
Professor 'Barker continued; "that two
months' injection produces twelve
rtyrire ' growth at the ordinary rate,
Thus two .or three shearing each yeas'
are possible."
