"Well," sho went on quite- cnnrrulnR
ly, "I have done some foolish things
In my life, but this Is the most fool
ish. I did give Martinez the flvo pound
notes. You see, ho was to play a
mat' h this week with a Russian, and
ho offered to lay the money for me."
"Uut the dinner the private room?"
Sho shrugged her shoulders. "I went
there for a perfectly proper reason. I
seeded some ono to help me, and I 1
couldn't ask a man who knew me.
o"-
"Tacn Martlncs didn't know yout"
"Of course not. He was foolish
enough to think himself In lore with
Be, and well, I found It convenient
tnd amusing to utilize him."
"For whatr
Mrs. Wllmott bit her red Hps and
then, with some dignity, replied that
Sho did not sec what bearing her pur
pose had on the enso since it had not
been accomplished.
"Why wasn't It accomplished!' ho
asked.
.l "Because the man was shot"
"Who shot hlmr
"I don't know."
"But you were present In the room?
You heard the shot! You saw Mar
tinez falir
"Yes. but" Now her agitation In
creased. No one had entered the room
except herself and Martinez and the
waiter who served them, she Insisted.
Martinez was standing near her when
when the shot was fired, and he fell
so the door. That was all.
CoquenU smiled Indulgently. -What
tld you do with the auger" he asked.
"The auger?" she gasped.
"Yes; it was seen by the cab driver
you took when you slipped out of tho
hotel In the telephone girl's raincoat."
"Yes," she answered weakly.
"And you threw It Into the Seine as
you crossed the Concorde bridge?"
She stared at him In genuine admira
tion. "My God, you're the cleverest
soan I ever met!"
M. Paul smiled. "I can return the
compliment by saying that It Isn't ev
ery lady who could throw a clumsy
thing like an anger from a moving cab
ever a wide roadway and a stone
wall and land It In a river. I suppose
you threw It over on the right hand
rtder
"Yes."
"Dow far across the bridge had you
pt when you threw It? This may
kelp the divers."
"We were a little mere than halfway
across."
"Who bought thin auger?"
"Martinez."
"Did you suggest the holes through
the wall?"
"He did."
"But tho holes were bored for you
becauso you wanted to see into the
Best room?"
"Yes," In a low tone.
1 "And why?"
She burst out In a flash of feeling.
""Because I knew that a wretched danc
ing girl was going to be there with"
"Yes?" eagerly.
"With my husbandl"
"Then your husband was the person
you thought guilty that night?" ques
tioned Coquenll.
"Yes."
"You told M. Kittredgo when yon
called for him In tho cab that you
thought your husband guilty?"
"Yes. but afterward I changed my
Blind. My husband had nothing to
do with it If he had, do you suppose
Z would have told you this? Xo doubt
ke has misconducted himself, but"
"You mean Anita?"
It was a chance shot, but It went true.
Hho stared at blm in amazement
"I believe you aro the devil," she said,
and the detective, recalling his talk
with M. Grltz, muttered to himself,
"The tall blondl Of course!"
And now Pussy, feeling that she
could gain nothing against Coquenll
by ruso or deceit, took refuge in sim
ple truth and told quite charmingly
how this wholo tragic adventuro bad
grown out of a foolish fit of Jealousy.
"You see, I found a petit bleu on
tny husband's dressing table one morn
ing I wish to heaven bo would bo
more careful and I I read It It
began Mon gros bene,' and was sign
ed Ta petite Anita,' and naturally I
was furious. I have often been jeal
ous of Addison, but ho has always
managed to provp that I was in the
wrong and that ho was a perfect saint
bo now I determined to seo for my
self. It was a splendid chance, as tho
exact rendezvous was given 0 o'clock
Saturday evening, In private room No.
7 at the Ansonla. I couldn't go alone,
so I got this man Martinez bo was
a perfect fool I got him to take mo
because, as I told you, ho didn't know
me and, being such a fool, ho would
4o whatever I wished."
"What day was It you found tho
petit bleu?" put in Coquenll.
"It was Thursday, I saw Martinez
that afternoon."
"And you are sure it was his scheme
to boro tho holes?"
"Yes; ho said that would bo an
musing way of watching Addison
Without making a scandal. It was
the first clever Idea I ever knew him
to have."
"Did you look through the holes at
all?" he asked.
"No; I hadn't time."
"Did 'Martinez look through the first
hole" after It was-do rear
"Yes, but he couldn't see anything,
as No. 7 was dark."
"Then you have absolutely no Idea
who fired tho shot?"
"Absolutely none."
"Except that you think It wasn't
your husband?"
"I know It wasn't my husband."
"How do you know that?"
"Because I asked him. Ah, you need
not smile. I made him give me proof.
When I got homo that night 1 had a
horrible feeling that Addison must
havo done It. So I waited until he
came home. I could hear him moving
about in his room. I went in and ask
ed him where he had been. He began
to lie in the usual way. And then I
told him a murder had been committed
at the Ansonla in private room No. 7.
I wish you could have seen his face.
Ho never said a word. He Just stared
at me. Well, It was tho longest time
before I could get anything out of him.
Then he explained what had happen
ed. He had started for the Ansonla
with this woman, but she had changed
her mind in the cab, and they had gone
to the Cafe do Tarls Instead and spent
the evening there. I said: 'Addison,
put your things right on. We're golne
to the Cafe de Paris to settle this busi
ness.' The waiters hadn't gone, and
they all swore black and blue that Ad
dison told the truth."
"H'raS" reflected Coquenll. "1 won
der why Anita changed her mind?"
"I'm not responsible for Anita." an-
iwerod Pussy, with a dignified whisk
of her shoulders.
"You know a great dial about this
young man who is In prison," be sug
gested. "I know he is innocent"
"I hope you can prove It"
"Of course I can prove it" she de
clared. "M. -Klttredge, an old friend,
was arrested becauso be catted for my
things, but I asked him to do that
If a absurd r

The above date has been set apart
as an annual event by the people of
California, in which all are asked to
join by eating raisins in tho form ot
"Raisin Broad" or In any form that
may be desired. The object of this
special day Is to create a widespread
raisin sentiment that will result in a
greater demand for that fruit, and to
direct the attention of all sod house
wives to the excellence ot tho raisin
as an article of food. Tho good people
of tho northwest are invited by their

LONDON, April 28. Professor 0.
Y. Myers of tho chnir of mnthomnt-
h8 in tho department of education nt
tho University of Chicago, has bocn
studvinc English schools nnd is very
favorably impressed with them. Of
the free, or so-onllou board schools,
ho does, indeed, spenk highly. Their
drawback is, however, that tho social
stigma attached to attending them is
?o serious that Barents who can

weekly to pay for their children's at
tendance nt privnto institutions will
have nothing to do with them.
I "Coming to London," says Pro
fessor Myers, "I found no great dif
ficulty in getting into privnto schools
on'tho outlying districts, hut was evi
dently not wanted, though I had tho
backing of tho local board of educa
tion nnd tho London county council
nt these in tho heart of tho city. A
number of school teachers havo told
mo that these schools have not ad
vanced in thirty years. This mny
explain why they want no visitors.
I cannot but suspect thnt n school
which will not permit inspection
must need it sadly.
"The English schools aro divided
into three clnsses the free or bonrd
schools, which havo government sup
port and are subject to government
inspection; tho schools which aro not
quite strong enough to stand alone,
therefore permit occasional inspec
tion nnd government representation
on their boards, and schools which
run independently of thjnuthorities.
"T have hrd every opportunity to
exnmino into the frco schools meth
ods and cannot spenk too highly of
them. They excel, and especially in

me uiimer oi inuiviuuiu instruction,
considering the personal needs and
limitations of the pupils and includ
ing only 25 or less in a class, instead
of 50 or GO, as in America. As the
children generally leave their studies
at 14, the teachers also wisely give
them the kind of instruction likely to
benefit them on entering the working
world."

If Your Neighbor Has
Electric light
and you have not, just step into his houso
some evening after dark and compare its light
with your own. Study each point of conve
nience, cleanliness, clearness, beauty carefully,
and then figure but for yourself if it would
not pay you well to have your house wired
for electric light at once.
Electric light today is cheaper and better than
ever before, since the General Electric Com-
Eany placed its MAZDA lamp on the mar
et. We have arranged to supply our cus
tomers with the G.E. MAZDA lamps on very
favorable terms. These lamps give two to
three times as much light as other lamps
using the same current.
If your house is located on any of our dis
tributing lines wo shall bo glad to adviso you
about having it wired and will give you
more facts about tho efficient electric lighting
of your home.
