"As to the manner of our tnklng forcible possession " I suggested with a smile.

Seizure nnd 1'tirsult. TOWARD evening of the 28th, the weather having moderated considerably, a south erly wind sprang up, herding masses of clouds before It. By nightfall the sky was overcast with a slato-hued nail of vapor; nnd shortly nfterwnrd a drizzle of molsturo began to trickle down tho window panes of my rooms. I was tho moro alive to this since, having worked mysolf Into a veritable fever of Impatience nnd nnxlety, I was constantly on the lookout. All through tho day I had FARMER SMITHS WHO THINKS FOR YOU? Dear Children If I can teach ONE of you to improve his thinking I shall bo repaid. Who thinks for you? No one. I can buy you ice cream, buy clothes for you, read to you, take care of you when you are sick and give you money, but I cannot THINK for you. You must do that alone. In each of my talks to you I try to leave with you ONE thought. I do not want to leave any more, for ono good thought for six days in the week is a WEALTH OP THOUGHTS. After you have done your thinking after you havo MADE UP YOUR MIND do not change it. It is better to mako a mistake and strengthen your thinking, your judgment, than it is to be forever changing your position. "Why," folks will say, "he doesn't knpw his own mind." How can you expect people to know YOUR MIND if you do not know it yourself? PARMER SMITH, CDRIOSITY AND A CAT By Farmer Smith Jimmy Monkey went down the main street In Jungletown carrying a tin can. Every little while he would peek into the can. Then he would laugh. As he went past Mrs. Cat's house that good lady was sitting on the porch. "What have you In that can, Jimmy?" asked Mrs. Cat. "I am sorry to warn you, but a cat died of curiosity," said Jimmy, gravely "Did she eat curiosity," asked Mrs. Cat. "No, she Just died of curiosity," answered Jimmy, putting down the can. ' Mrs. Cat tried to peek Into It, but Jimmy stood In the way and Bald; "Pardon me, but I want to savo your life." "Oh, you do, do you? Well I like that" Then Mrs. Cat gava Jimmy a slap with her velvety paw and almost knocked turn over. Then she peeked Into the can. She was so surprised at what she saw she lay down s-nd. closed her eyes- There I You have killed yourself," said Jimmy, as he ran off In search of help. When he came back with Mister Cat, he looked la hU can. The Uttle fish he had in the can was gone I been expectant of Grndy's arrival, with word and Instructions from Sevrance; not only had Grady fnlled me, hut nothing man or message had come to glvo me ease of mind. Therefore, I tramped from wall to window of my bedchamber, as restless aB a caged nnlmal, throughout the lagg.trd day. Callahan nnd I had supped together sociably enough, but without much con versation t had tnken It upon myself to Inform him wltn such particularity ns I deemed advlsablo of tho nature of the expedition. Ho h.ul nccepted the Information without emotion; It wns nil In the day's work with him. He now sat stolidly smoking at tho tnblp, sipping alo and watching mo with passive Intel est. About 10, with n snort of disgust, t threw myself Into a chnlr opposite h in and pro paied to solace my disquiet with n smoke. At Hint moment the tnln began to thunder a long roll upon the roof. I ttnrted up w th an exclamntlon of dismay. From the' window I could sec little; the long strclc',1 of high road, glimmering n vnguc, leaden color In the night; the mnssed blnckness of the trees, sllhuuctted dimly ngdlu.st the white of the unmeltcd snow ami swaying furiously to the wind, which had freshened Into hnlf a gnle. Hut no lights! I had thought to catch the dancing glenm of carriage lampsj nppronchlng from Bar mouth, but I strnlncd my eyes futllely ngnlnst the darkness, discovering nothing. Below a door slammed. Presently 1 heard footsteps on the stairs. There came a knock at my door nnd tho landlord cuteied, upon my permission. "Mnn to see you below, sir," ho said re spectfully. "Shall I let him up, or will you see him In the taproom? He's a rough looking fellow, sir, and I " "Never mind," I said decidedly; "show him lip nt once." A minute, later the door opened nnd closed behind n gaunt and ragged figure, soaked to the Bkln by reason of his long tramp through the ruin. He snntriird a battered nnd discolored derby from his head and stood, dripping water nnd trembling with cold, while he gazed shnrply from ono of us to the other. "Well?" I dcminded. "Yc'r" Mr. Gordon, sir?" ho Inquired, ad dressing me, but keeping a wary eyo on Callahan. "Yes Be quick." "Wot about 'lin?" with a Jerk of his thumb toward the engineer. "All right You're from Mr. Anthony?" "Yrsslr. 'Old on, sir ; there's summat mlssln'." 'The countersign? Give It, then." "CronMadt." "And the time of dny?" "Midnight, sir." he said, with an exclama tion of relief. Then, shivering: "I'm 'art froze, guv'ner," he hinted. "Give me your message, and you shall havo nil tho drink you want." "Yes, sir. Mr. Anthony scz to meet Mm nt the rnllway station, sir, at 'arf arfter 11, sir." "Wry well. Callahan, take this man be low nnd pay for a drink for him. And toll tho landlord I'll want tho lly at once." "Shure. an' the pleasure, do bo all me own." As the door closed behind them I whipped out my revolver, carefully assuring myself, for what was possibly tho 20th time that day. that It was londcd nnd In tho best of order. It struck mo ns odd that Sevranco i.lioukl have sent this fellow, this outcast of the London slums, ns ho appeared to be. In preference to Grady, who had surely ar rived by that hour. I was, In short, somewhat apprehensive of a final trick on the part of tho Secret Chapter, and I wns thoroughly determined that I would not bo taken, nor meet with on Holzborn's Intended fate, without put ting lm a Miff flcht On tho other hand, tho man came armed with the countersign nnd theio was now no tlmo to bo wasted. Tho Interval a scant two hours between tho hour nnd that net for the attempt upon tho shipyard, was all too little as It wns. Accordingly, I took my courage In my hand nnd went below. Callahan and tho recruit for as such I had to regard tho new arrival wero Just concluding their potations. I handed my luggage to a hostler and demanded my reckoning. Tho fly wns waiting; we Callahan and I got Inside, tho messenger clambering upon the box with tho driver; nnd tho vehicle set off, with tremendous splashing nnd maddening deliberation, through a night as black ns you pleaso and unpleas ant enough to daunt any spirit. I kept my fingers on tho butt of my re volver, saying nothing or my fears, how over, to Callahan. Happily they proved groundless. Within nn hour and a quarter wo drew up at Barmouth railway station and found Sovrance awaiting us. Having paid and dismissed -the driver and given the messenger his Instructions which were to depart and nwalt us, "you know whore" we stepped Inside the Uttlo waiting room, Acting on Sevrance's sug gestion, before I had time to put a single PRIZE WINNERS IN "SAFETY FIRST" CONTEST The names of the winners of prizes for the best stories, drawings and ideas sub mitted In the P.

Aftcrwnrds we returned to the platform, standing In tho driving rain to converse Callahan stalking up and down nt n dis tance, but without losing sight of us: a sort of sentry ngnlnst Interruption. I eyed Sevrnnco curiously. He wns more than usually subdued In demennor de cidedly worried. If Ills expression counted for aught though he wore his ordinary air of determination and resolution. "Well?" I nsked. "Where's Grady?" "Heaven knows I" ho declared. "You've not seen him 7" "Obviously. Why should I ask, other wise?" "I'm not easy about him," Sevrnnco re turned. "I wired htm to tell Fritz nnd Von Holzborn that the attempt wan sched uled for tonight, to watch for the signals, nnd to leave Saltsea oh tho latent night train, joining mo at the Ham's Head In London. He should have done so by ten this morning, nt the latest. But, beyond wlilng that he would carry out my In structions, 1 have not heard from nor seen tho fellow. It distresses me.

But we were to suffer disappointment Tho 11:20 sperlat from London drew In nnd nut of Bnimouth, lenvlng but few pas sengers. Grady was not of them, 'Til glvo a deal to know what It means," grumbled Sevrance, "But we'll have to go w thnut the fellow, trusting to -luck that all Is right. Comp nlong." In compnrntlvo silence for tho wind nnd the pelting downpour made conversation n matter of extreme dllllculty. as you may fancy wo hnMcned down through the better-class section of Barmouth and Into tho rougher districts whero tho shipbuilders' employes lived. I'risently I made out that wo had come directly to tho high boarding which Inclosed tho Ilogor & Orcer yards. In tho shad ow of tho embrasure of tho main gato en trance we posted ourselves and waited. I heard n neaiby clock boom out the half hour. Wo had, then, 30 minutes more befote tho time appointed. Sevrance stepped out Into tho mlddlo of the thor oughfare nnd glanced up nnd down, scan ning the neighborhood narrowly. It lay quiet and deserted enough to all appearances. Tho galo and tho rain were enough to keep the people from the streets that night; Indeed, disagreeable as It was, tho conviction forced Itself upon mo that the very elements woro aiding and abetting our project. Opposite us the lights of a low glnmllt gleamed dully through tear-streaked win dow panes. Farther down the street two moro publics stood out In contrast with the less brilliantly Illuminated dwellings of the laborers. On tho other hand, tha same condition of affairs existed. Thero wero, In short, flvo such places of entertainment within n stone's throw of us. In n lull In tho galo Sevrance put his fin gers to his mouth nnd whistled shrilly, schoolboy fashion and twice. Immediately I saw a dark flguro detach Itself from a background of shadow. In tho shelter of tho neaiest public's doorway nnd slouch across the stieet. The man proved tho ono who had acted as Sevrance's messenger. "Gar vin," Sevrance called him, adding that tho fellow us, temporarily, his lieutenant, "A broken-down gentleman," he said, "who has seen a deal of sea life and tries to dlsgulso his birth nnd breeding with tha bearing of a costermonger." At a word from Sevrance the man turned rightabout and sauntered back to the pub lic. I saw his r.gure silhouetted for an in stant against the light that streamed out through the open door and then he dis appeared. In two minutes, however, ho camo out, turning to the left and slouching up to the next place of entertainment, where he repeated the performance ; and so visited In turn all the publics In view. Shortly after his exit from each tho door would again be opened and three or four men would come out, all converging upon a common center tho gate whereat wo wero waiting. "They've been here for several days, somo of them," Sevrance told me. In an aside. "I only hopo that none havo fallen out; I tried to give them no more money than would board and lodge them until today, but they may have drunk It all up within the nrst z nours," "How many altogether?" "Thirty-six, Including you, Callahan and myself. I shall get their names as they come up; you count them."

Thero were four 6f them : vvch approached and gavo his name In a low tone, waiting until Sevranco had checked him off on the tnbleti which he made shift to seo by tho glow of his cigar. Already another group was upon us i live this time. Tin same procedure was resorted to In each cast. Ily degiees, and within tho quarter of an hour, Sovranco's list of names had been checked rff to the last one nnd I wad puzzled. 'There I" said my friend, turning to m'e with nn air of relief, "That's not bo bad, you know. Not a man missing." "Yes, but " "But what?" he demanded Impatiently. "Oh, hang It'" I cried, "I reckon I'm no rhakes of n shepherd, Tony. I make the to tal, Including oursolvcs, 37." "You're mlstnkcn, then," ho eald lightly "It's no matter, anyhow J wo can havo a rollcall, once we're nboard, and settlo It to your satisfaction. I'll go you a guinea that you're off." "I hopo so," I returned ; but It made me uneasy. 1 had made my count with exact ness, ns I thought, and there should have been no mistake possible. Still, with that number of mm standing around us In semi darkness, I might well have erred, I put my fears In my pockets with Sev rance's first word of command. "Oarvln," he said, "havo you tho ham mer?" "Yes, air." "You chaps hold yourselves ready, then; nnd follow n , once the gate's open. Bang uway, anrvlni" Our ndcn:uie waB, at last, fairly under way! I felt n species of exh laratlon nt tho knowledge. Tho spice of danger, the (laor "of romance In the undertaking, warmed me Mm wine, despite the Inclem ency of tho wtr.ther. I fult for a tlmo as I Imnglno a knight of old must havo felt when entering tho I. its to do battle for his lady's favor. You may lai.gh, If you will, but It was so with me. standing thero In the rain-swept darkness of that winter's n ght, teeth chat tering like an end man's bones, heart beat ing loudly In tlmo to tho sharp, swift, and heavy blows of the hammer upon the pad lock. I was ns eager for tho adventure ns ever 1 had been Inclined to regard It with distrust. ! felt In my soul that from then on there would be Beaut opportunity for fears or doubts Still, In those days I was younger thnn now ; tho lllut. on of romance glided all things for mo; nnd I viewed this fool's er rand In a light that never will return to me, I dare sny, Garvin managed to create tho deuce of on uproar; tho lock was proving more diffi cult than we hnd anticipated. I heard Sev ranco anathematizing the noise, beneath his breath ; and e-o tho gates were forced tho entire neighborhood wns nllvo to the fact that something of an extraordinary nature wns afoot.

HORWITZ URGES JUSTICE FOR WOMEN, Woman Devoted to Social Serr ice Attacks System of Mag istrates' Courts The order that all women accused of dis orderly conduct and arrested be tried In magistrates' courts Instead of In tha Jfu nlclpal Court has caused a general protest by women who have taken nn Interest Iti bettering tho conditions of such offenders. Despite tho fact that an act of 1916 gives the Municipal Court exclusive Jurisdiction, tho Director recently ordered that they should be taken to the magistrates. This enabled the women to escape with a fine nnd continue their conduct, being preyed upon frequently and forced by unspeakably unscrupulous men to continue their mode of life. Jurisdiction of magistrates In such cases was recognized recently In a decision by Judge Davis. Among others who have condemned this system of giving magistrates exclusive jurisdiction In such cases Is Mrs. Georgs Qulntard Horwltz. She said tho system of permitting women to be taken before magistrates nnd fined Is n backwnrd step In modern penology. Theso cases, sho said, should bo tried beforo the Misdemeanants' Court, whero the women aro treated as human beings, to bo cared for morally and physically nnd watched over by those whoso lives nro devoted to this useful work. She said tho work being done by the Misdemeanants' Court was ono of humanity. The mcro punishment of this class of wrong doers, sho said, accomplished little good. A fight In tho Supreme Court for a rever sal of the decision recognizing the juris diction of magistrates In such cases will be mado by Oeorgo Qulntard Horwltz and former Judgo James Gay Gordon.
