THE VANISHED
MILLIONAIRE
(Continued.)
Ton, sir, sitting peaceably at home,
with good light and aa easy con
science, may think I was a timid fool;
yet I was afraid honestly and openly
afraid. The little detective heard the
Mwa of It In my to Ice, for he gave ma
a reassuring pat upon the hack.
-"Have you ever beard of a "priest's
holer he whispered. "In the day
when Meudon Hall was built, no coun
try house was without Its hiding piece.
Protestants and priests. Royalists and
Republicans, they all used the secret
burrow at one time or another."
"How did he get lnr
"That is what we are here to dis
cover; and as I have no wish to de
stroy Mr. Ford's old oak panels I
think our simplest plan will be to wait
until be comes back again."
The shadows leapt upon us as Peace
extinguished the light he carried. The
great window alone was luminous with
the faint starlight that showed the
tracery of Its ancient stonework; for
the rest, the darkness hedged us
about m Impenetrable barriers.. Side
by aide, we stood by the wall In which
we knew the secret entrance must
exist.
It may have been ten Tnfrmt or
more when from the distance some
wbere below our feet, or so It aeeowd
to me there came the faint echo of a
dosing door. It was only la such
old silence that we could have beard
it. The time ticked on. Suddenly,
upon the black of the floor, there
shone a thin reflection like the slash
of a sword a reflection that grew into
a broad gush of light as the sliding
panel in the wall, six feet from where
we stood, rose to the full opening.
There followed another pause, during
which I could see Peace draw himself
together as If for some unusual exer
tion. shadow darkened the reflection
on the floor, and a head came peering
eat. The light but half displayed the
face, but I could see that the teeth
were bare and glistening, like those
of a man in some deadly expectation.
The next moment he stepped across
the threshold.
With a spring like the rush of a
terrier, Addington Peace was upon
htm, driving him off his balance with
the impact of the blow. One loud
cream he gave that went echoing
way into the distant corridors. But,
before I could reach them, the little
detective had him down, though he
still kicked viciously until I lent a
band. The click of 'he handcuffs on
his wrists ended the matter.
It was Ford's valet, the man Jack-
We were not long by ourselves, I
heard a quick patter of naked feet
from behind us, and Harbord. the sec
retary, came running up, swinging a
heavy stick In his hand. Ransom fol
lowed close at his heels. They both
stopped at the edge of the patch of
light la which we were, staring from
us to the gaping hole In the wall.
"What In thunder are you ahoutr
cried the manager.
"Finding a solution to your prob
lem," said the little detective, getting
to his feet "Perhaps, gentlemen, you
will he good enough to follow me."
He stepped through the opening la
the wall, and lifted the candle which
the valet bad placed on the floor
whilst he was raising the panel from
within. By its light I could see the
first steps of a flight which led down
into darkness.
"We will take Jackson with us," he
continued. "Keep an eye on him, Mr.
Phillips, If you please."
- It was a strange procession that we
made. First Peace, with the candle,
then Ransom, with the valet follow
ing, while I and Harbord brought up
the rear. We descended some thirty
steps, farmed In the thickness of the
wall, opened a heavy door, and so
fond ourselves In a narrow chamber,
some twelve feet long by seven broad.
Upon a mattress at the further end
lay man, gagged and bound. As the
tight fell upon his features Ransom
sprang forward, shouting his name.
Silas Ford, by thunder!"
With eager fingers we loosened the
gag and cut the ropes that bound bis
wrists. He sat up, turning his long,
thin face from one to the other of us
m he stretched the cramp from big
Basts.
"Thank you, gentlemen," said be.
"Well, Ransom, bow are thlngsT
"Bad, sir; but It's not too late."
Be nodded his head, passing his
I bands through bis hair wtth a quick,
nervous movement
"You've caught my clever friend, I
see. Kindly go through his pockets,
will you? He has something I must
ask him to return to me."
We found It In Jackson's pocket
book a cheque, antedated a week, for
Ave thousand pounds, with a covering
letter to the manager of the bank.
Ford took the bit of stamped paper,
twisting tt to and fro In his supple
Angers.
"It was smart of you. Jackson," he
said, addressing the bowed figure be
fore him. "I give you credit for the
Idee. To kidnap a man Just as he was
bringing oft a big deal well, you
would have earned the money."
"But how did you get down BereT"
struck la the manager.
"He told me that he had discovered
an old hiding place a 'priest's hole'
he called It and I walked Into the
trap aa the best man may do some
times. As we got to the bottom of
that stairway he slipped a sack over
my heed, and had me fixed in thirty
seconds. He fed me himself twice a
day, standing by to see I didn't hollos.
When I paid up he was to have twenty-four
hours start; then he would
let you know where I was. I held out
awhile, but I gave In tonight The
delay was getting too dangerous.
Have you a cigarette, Harbord? Thank
you. Ana wno may you dt
It was to the detective he spoke.
"My name Is Peace. Inspector Ad
dington Peace, from Scotland Yard."
"Aad I owe my rescue to you?"
The little man bowed.
"Ton will have no reason to regret
ft And what did you think had be
come of me. Inspector?"
"It was the general opinion that
you had taken to yourself wings, Mr.
Ford."
It was as we traveled up to town
next day that Peace told me his story.
I will set it dowa as briefly aa may
be.
"I soon came to the conclusion that
Ford, whether dead or alive, was In
side the grounds of Meudon Halt If
be had bolted, for some reason, by-the-way,
which was perfectly Incompre
hensible, a man of his ability would
not have left a broad trail across the
center of his lawn for all to see.
There was, moreover, no trace of him
that our men could ferret out at any
station within reasonable distance. A
motor was possible, but there were no
marks of Its presence next morning
In the slush of the roads. That tact
learnt from a curious groom who
had aided in the search, and who.
with similar Idea upon him, had
carefully examined the highway at
daybreak.
"When I clambered to the top of
the wall I found that the snow upon
the coping had been dislodged. 1
traced the marks, as you saw, for
about a dosea yards. Where they end
ed I. too, dropped to tbe ground out
side. There I made a remarkable
discovery. I'pon a little drift ot snow
that lay In tbe shallow ditch beneath
were more footprints. Hut they were
not those ot Ford. They were tbe
marks of long and narrow boots, and
led Into tbe road, where they were
lost in the track ot a flock of sheep
that had been driven over It tbe day
before.
"I took a careful measurement ot
those footprints. They might, ot
course, belong to some private Inves
tigator; but they gave me an Idea.
Could some man have walked across
the iawn In Ford's boots, changed
them to his own on the top of the
wall, and so departed? Was It tbe
desire of some one to let It be sup
posed that Ford had run away?
"When I examined Ford's private
rooms I was even more fortunate.
From the bootboy I discovered that
tbe master had three pairs of shoot
ing boots. There were three pairs In
the stand. Some one bad made a
very serious mistake. Instead of hid
ing tbe pair be bad used on the lawn,
be had returned them to their place.
Tbe trick wss becoming evIJent. But
where was Ford? In the bouse or
grounds, dead or alive, but where?
"I was able, through my friend tbe
bootboy, to examine tbe boots on the
ntght of our arrival. My measure
ments corresponded with those that
Jackson, the valet, wore. Was be
acting tor blmself,' or was Harbord,
or even Ransom, In the secret? That
too. It was necessary to discover be
fore I showed my band.
"Tour story of Harbord's midnight
excursion supplied a clue. The sec
retary had evidently followed some
man who bad disappeared mysterious
ly. Could there be the entrance to
secret chamber In that corridor? That
would explain the mystification of
Harbord as well as the disappearance
of Silas Ford. If so Harbord was not
involved.
"If Ford were held a prisoner he
must be ted. Ills gaoler must ot ne
cessity remain In the house. But the
trap I set In the suggested Journey to
town was an eiperlment singularly un
successful, tor all the three men I de
sired to test refused. However, if I
were right about the secret chamber
I could checkmate the blackmailer by
keeping a watch on him from your
room, which commanded the line of
communications. But Jackson was
clever enough to leave his victualling
to the night-time. I scattered the
flour to try the result of that ancient
trick. It was successful. That la all.
Do you follow me?"
-Tea," said I: "but how did Jack
son come to know the secret hiding-
place?"
"He bas long been a servant ot the
house. Tou had better ask his old
master."

DOLL-MAKING AN INDIAN ART
Marvelous Miniatures Are Those
Turned Out by Clever Aborig
ines of Mexico.
It la thought that the tiniest dolls
are those made by Mexican Indians.
They are barely three-fourths ot an
Inch long in many cases, but are nev
ertheless perfect In detail.
The method ot manufacture is as
follows: First there Is a diminutive
framework of wire. This Is then wound
wtth fine silk thread until tbe proper
figure has been secured. The cos
tumes are then cut according to the
character of the doll, and fitted to It
With needles that can scarcely be
held la the fingers, needles of which
the eyes are almost invisible, various
designs are embroidered on the dolls'
clothes with the finest of silk threads.
So cleverly do the Indians execute
these designs that even through a
powerful glass the details appear to
be perfect, although the work is ac
complished without the aid ot any
enlarging device.
Once properly dressed, the doll is
given its hair. Even to the details
of braids aad ribbons this work Is
carried out Then there are formed
the eyes, nose, mouth, hands and
feet.
In -Mexico these dolls are sold for
ridiculously small sums. It takes about
two hours of painstaking labor to
make one of tbe simplest of the man
ikins. Some dolls are provided with tiny
baskets of flowers, fancy sombreros,
water Jars and other paraphernalia.
The baskets are made of hair by the
Indians of Guanajuato. The bits of
pottery are made of clay, In exact Im
itation of the practical sites. All these
accessories are sewed to tbe dolls.
Miniature roses are embroidered la
the costumes of the dancing girls and
ornaments are arranged in tbelr hair.
Wreaths of flowers are bung about tbe
shoulders and the arms are formed In
graceful and llfe-Uke attitudes of danc
ing. Tbe matador is complete la
every particular his costume being
gayly decorated In many colors, tbe
hair dressed in true Spanish fashion,
including the conventional queue.

MADE AN UNEXPECTED HIT
Mark Sheridan, With sn Act Not on
the Bill, Convulsed an English
Audience.
One often bas amusing experiences,
,1. L . ... .
iu oumor or wnicn only strikes one
afterward. Such a one occurred to me
a number of years ago, at a very small
hall in the provinces, where the stage
accommodation was so limited and of
such a primitive kind that some of us
had to use the back of the stage as a
dressing room, our ablutions after the
show being sometimes performed In a
common or garden bucket placed on a
chair. One night It was winter, and
the audience was almost as chilly as
the weather I bad finished my turn,
and stripped to tho waist, was "ablut
Ing" violently In the old tin basin.
when somebody made a mistake, and
Instead of lowering the curtain, the
back sheet was pulled up, disclosing
me to view.
As I had my back In that direction.
I did not at first realize w hat bad hap
pened, and hearing shrieks of laugh
ter, I remarked, through tbe folds of
tbe towel In which my face was
buried:
Aiy wora, someDoays making a
hit!"
Getting no reply, I looked up, to dis
cover that my erstwhile companions
had vanished, and that, with dripping
mane, I was standing In full view of
tbe audience!
I was pressed very much. Immedi
ately afterward, to enter for the hun
dred yards in the following year's the
atrical sports, as it waa thought that
I might establish a record. Mark
Sheridan, in Strand Magazine.
Profession of Motherhood.
It is a difficult profession thtl pro
fession of motherhood. In the animal
kingdom, as the offspring grow older,
tbe parents withdraw tbelr ministra
tions, but In tbe human family the
older the children grow the more di
plomacy and enthusiasm Is needed
by the ruling spirits. When the boys
begin to get unruly and tbe girls be
gin to get silly as the husband gets
less ready to make an effort and more
willing to sit quietly by the Ore la the
evening then It is tbat many a fam
ily drifts apart But tbe mother can
have no holiday. She must always
be on tap. Tbe only difference is that
as the children grow older she must
pretend that It Is tbey and set she
who are managing affairs. Ac ass Ed

WILD RIDE ON RUNAWAY CAR
Brakeman Makes 6 Mil l''r
Hour, Hut Slicks to IM.
Medfurd, Or. - With his lantern,
swinging in a brave attempt to warn
the people. J. A. Fowler, an Ashland (
.... i i 1
yard man, came tnrougn nieoium
Thursday night at 75 miles an hour on
top of a runaway freight car. With
the wires busy clearing the right of
way. a switch engine in charge of
Kngineer Admna in wiUl pursuit and a
doctor motoring to the scene of the
expected tragedy, the cHr by a miracle
escaped collision with a freight train
at Central Point, as it hastened into a
siding safely, and made the sharp
curves at Cold Kay and finally came to
a stop one mile this side of Hold Hill.
Some idea of tho speed of the runa
way car mny be had f rom tho fuct that
the car slipped Khjko from tho train
at Ashland at 9:50 and reached Mod
ford, a distance of 12 miles, down
grade, at 10:01, a run of 11 minutes,
or an average of 05 miles an hour.
The pursuing engine made the dis
tance in 15 minutes, half of the sched
ule time, but lost sight of the runaway
at Talent
Fowler waa pretty well shaken up
by his experience, but said he was too
busy swinging his lantern and keeping
his balance to think much about hi
danger.
JAPAN TO STAND ON TREATY
Fourteenth Amendment Omitted
From Land Kill Protest.
Tokio- It is learned that Japan ha
decided to omit from the text of it
rejoinder to tho American govern
ment's reply to the protest against the
California alien land law the conten
tion that it violates tho 14th amend
ment, and leave this point for discus
sion between Viscount Chimin, the
Japanese ambassador at Washington,
and Secretary of State Bryan.
The reason for this derision was the
conviction that Japan's case a a na
tion would be stronger if based on the
contention that the land bill violates
the treaty. The idea here is thut the
14th amendment, a well as the con
stitutional prohibition against states
passing laws impairing obligation con
tracts, might eventually be the basi
of suits brought by Japanese as indi
viduals. HOME RULE BILL IS PASSED
English Commons Scene of Fiery
Denunciation.
London The house of commons
passed the second reading of the home
rule for Ireland bill without division,
an amendment by Mr. Balfour for the
rejection of the measure having been
defeated previously by a vote of 3H
to 270. The announcement of the fig
ures was received with cheering by
Liberal and Nationalists.
The debate was marked by fiery
declarations by the opposition speaker
who predicted home rule would result
in civil war in Ireland. Sir Edwards
Carson, the Irish Unionist leader,
aid :
"For my part, I will continue to
support the Ulster men and will take
full responsibility for their resistance.
You may seize their homes, or send
troops, but you will not settle the
Irish question."
Lord Charles Beresford declared :
"If the government sends troops to
Ireland, I Khali olTcr my services,
poor as they may he, and help my fel
low countrymen."
Jones Blocks Senate.
Washington, D. C. Senator Jones,
of Washington, who has failed thus
far to secure from the senate the extra
clerk he declare necessary, got on the
nerves of his Democratic colleagues
when he engineered hi single-handed
filibuster through another session.
"Here we sit, the sworn representa
tives of 90,000,000 people," said Sen
ator Williams, "trying to transact the
important business of the country, and
all we hear is the hoarse voice of the
senator from Washington crying 'Jone
wants clerks; Jones wants clerks.' "
Maryland Sails North.
Seattle The armored cruiser Mary
land sailed for Alaska to complete the
tests of Alaska coal begun last year,
and interrupted when the vessel was
hurried south under rush orders to
take Secretary of State Knox to Japan
to attend the emperor's funeral. Eight
hundred tons of Bering river coal have
been mined and transported to Control
ler bay for use in the testa by the Mary
land. The cruiser is expected to re
turn from the North early in August.
Ferry Sink; Fifty Drown.
St Petersburg Fifty persons were
drowned by the sinking of a dilapidat
ed ferryboat while crossing the River
Tcheptca on the Russian Ascension
day, June 6, according to delayed dis
patches from Vyatka. A riot ensued
in the populace of the district, owing
to their indignation at the laxity of
the police supervision of the ferry.
Throwing of Bomb Fatal.
Lisbon, Portugal One person was
killed and several others wounded by a
bomb thrown at a procession in honor
of Portugal's great epic and lyric

Silver Lake Stone houses may re

Lake valleys. Thi i made possible
by the discovery by F. It. Haas of a

which, although not moist, hardens

It i easily awed or chiseled out in

Old timer of the valley say there
are similar quarries to the south and
northwest of the town of Silver Lake.
No stone has been taken from these
diggings for so many year that their
location wa almost forgotten until
Mr. Bass made tho discovery on Table
Mountain. The fireplace, chimney
and foundation of tho old house on the
St) ranch, owned by " Hi" Adams, of
Portland, were built of tono taken
from one of these workings; the same
is true of the building on the UK
ranch, owned by William II. Ilaye,
of California; also the Chrisnian and

RABBITS DESTROYING CHOI'S
Christma I.ake Outlook is Fine
But for Work of Rodents.
Ficksburg The fine outlook in
Christmas Lake valley fur crops thi
year, will depend upon tho state gov
ernment of Oregon. Rabbits have
done much damage, and at the rate of
increase nutieeahlr, before harvest
time come there will be little to gar
ner unless strenuou method are
adopted to inoculate the rodents. The
Ficksburg Development club hojK to
be able to secure the assistance of tho
state veterinarian or some competent
official from the State Agricultural
college to start the good work.
The area sown to grain and other
products show a considerable increase
over any season in the history of this
new country, but the rabbit plague
seems to keep abreast of the settler.
Drives were held in various section
during the past winter, but owing to
the large area necessary to be covered,
they proved failure fmm an extermi
nation standpoint, as the animal
would escape in such numbers that it
seems hopeless to finish them in thi
manner. It ia rumored that unless
something is done, various sellers
may take the matter into their own
hand and inoculate the rodent with
somo disease that may be dungcro'ia
to man and beast if it gets abroad.
The need being great and from x-op,e
that will suffer greatly if their crop
are destroyed, it is believed the state
will co-operate and the inoculation pro
cess be carried on in a manner that
will insure the destruction of the ani
mals doing the damage, and at the
ame time safeguard the settler and
their livestock.
