A slight tcktoA came from the nobleman's throat Xerd Sonsdalc's eyes half closed. "A heary listed, shapely brute, with aBusdM like steel, but Ignorant." He 2Knsertd on the word. Then his glanco TSBddaely lifted. "Had something on k anas recall noticing It while the ifeoat was onr .Mr. Qlllett, with a knowing expres sion, rose, took n TOlumo from a. book ase and opened It.

Here '-re what I was especially looking for, ke markings on the arm of the Frisco TFet. Perhaps, however, your lordship uieesBt care to listen further." Oo onr Tho words broke sharply Otrom the visitor's lips; then he gave a aw.'taHIc laugh. "I am Interested in ttfela wonderful system of yours." "Mr. GDlett read Blowly, '"On the aright arm of the Frisco Pet, Just below lhe elbow, appears tho figure of a 3Bon in sparring attltudo done in sail .Ik's tattooing; about the waist n flag, ;tko stars and stripes in their accus ?9emed colors crudely drawn, but not to Jbe mistaken by noting following do Jfccts and details' which," closing the .book, "I won't read." His lordship's head had turned. "A ood system," he remarked after an 'stterraL "But my purpose tho pur .yesa of my visit I we have won .4ered quite from that Let us, I beg of you, talk business. I believe" tho vls vllor moistened his lips "I believe I mentioned John Steele when I came -Jtar "I am all attention, your lordship." Mr. Gllletfs manner was keen, ener jBvtlc. If he felt surprise he suppress ed it "Good! Your lordship's business 'eocerns John Steele." "For reasons that need not be men ."Honed I want to find out all I can .about him. That, I believe, is the sort f Trerk you undertake. The terms for aroar services can be arranged later. 'it is unnecessary to say you will be .'well paid. I assume you can com vand competent and trustworthy ielp; that you bayo agents perhaps in ther countries?" Mr. Gfllett nodded. "If your lord aalp would give mo some idea of tho cope of the inquiry" The long fingers opened, then closed tlghUy. "In the first place, you aro to ascer tain wbero John Steele was before ho tamo to England, how ho got there, -what he did. Naturally if ho has lived in n faraway port you would seek to know tho ship that brought him there, the names of tho captain and the .crew." "It shall bo done, your lordship," re plied the other quickly. "I shall cm bark In tho matter with great zest mad, I may add, interest If I might fee so bold, may I ask, does your lord Jialp expect to find anything that would ahem cast uny reflection on ih high standing John Steele is build ing up for himself in tho community " A shadow seemed to darken tho jaask-lfice features of tho visitor. His Kze at onco glittering, vaguely ques ning, was fastened on tho wall; 'then ulowly without answering he got Up. "Surmises aro not to enter Into this matter," he said shortly. "It Is ifacts I want facts." "And your lordship shall have them. The caso appears slmplo, not hard to get at tho bottom pf." An odd expres sion Bhono from the visitor's eyes. "Which reminds mo bo has left town," added GUlett "Last townl" Lord Honsdalo wheel ed abruptly. "You mean" "Tet a little trip to tho continent, I afcould imagine; heard of It because ho IPt nm wtfnportant court matter ptfi over." "Gono nwayl" Tho nobleman lifted a hand to his brow. "Last night" "It was only yesterday morning I was riding with him." "And he didn't mention tho matter?" Tho visitor did not answer. "Why should ho hnvo gono away?" ho mur mured, half aloud. "Was It becauso" Ho walked to tho door, nt tho thresh old stopped and looked back. "You might begin your Inquiry by learning all you can about this llttlo trip," ho suggested. And ho departed. Several months went by, and John Steele saw nothing further, although ho heard often, of Miss Jocclyn Wray. His business to tho continent, what ever Its nature, had seemed sufficient ly Important to nuthorlzo from him to her In duo process of time a short, per functory message regretting his In ability to present himself at tho ap pointed hour nt Strnthorn House. A number of supposedly prospective clients had called to ask for him at his oRice during his sojourn on tho other side of tho channel. That was to have been expected. But one or two of these by dint of flattery or possibly sliver lined persuasion had succeeded In gaining access to his chambers. "I should like to have a look into John Steele's library. I'vo heard it's worth while," one had observed to tho butler at tho door. "Only a bit of a peep around!" Ills manner of putting his desire, supplemented by a half crown, left the butler no alternative Bavo to comply with tho request until tho "peep around" began to develop Into moro than cursory examination, when his seuso of propriety became outraged and tho visitor's welcome was cut short "Ho was that curious, n regular Paul Pry," explained tho servant to John Steele In narrating tho incident on tho latter's return to London. THE LESSER PEACH BOEER By A. A. Glrmilt, Engaged in Deciduous Fruit Insect Invcstlp Hon for tho Department of Agrlcul-ture. Tho cocoon Is constructed of pie ces of bark chawed into lino lilts, frnss, and silk secreted by larva, and Is light yellowish brown In color, and Eoft to tho touch. Au old co coon varies but It is always sororal millimeters longer than tho pupa which It Incloses. Tho larva having formed a cocoon and Inclosed Kcelf within, waits bov oral days and then pupates. Tho pupa is brownish yellow In color, dark at tho ouces of tho sogmontn, sutures, herd and wing covered, spindle-shaped, and Is broadest at tho first abdominal segment. It has all characters normal to Its family. Tho sotaee aro sparso and minute. Tho spines of tho first J.bdomlnal segment aro very weak; in tho fo- mnrgln of jnch of tho abdominal seg ments, noino of which may bo moro or loss obsolete Tho initios of tho lnt tor aro also larger than tho mothB of tho formor, but again ngreo in having n gonornl hymenoptorlform aspect, hut flying In tho bright sunlight tho two spoeles aro easily recognized aft er a llttlo practlco In observing thorn. Tho Roxos of tho lesser poach boror nro qulto ulutUar, but may bo distin guished by ono or two minor sec ondary characters, such ns tho slmplo nutenuno of tho fcnmlo and tho moro robust abdomen and straight anal tuft. Probably tho most nvnilablo soc ondary character however, Is found In tho frenulum, which in tho fomnlo consists of two closely applied, long, and slender spines, whllo In tho mnlo malo thero la but n slnclo row of it Is slnglo and slightly shortor. This theso after tho first abdominal sog- character is concealed by tho front mont, and In tho mnlo after tho Gth wings. abdominal segmont.

"What questions?" quietly. "Personal-like. But I put a stop to that." For a few moments John Steele said nothing. His face on his reappearance in London had looked slightly paler, more set and determined, not unlike that of a man who, strongly assailed, has made up his mind to do battle to tho end. With whom? How many? "You will admit no ono to my cham bers during my absence In the future," said Steele at length to tho man stern ly, "no one, you understand, under any pretext whatever, even" a flicker of grim humor In the deep eyes "if ho should say ho was a client of mine."
