STOLEN PAPERS
FOUND AT BALL
Recovery of Diplomat’s Wallet
Just as Thrilling as Best of
Nick Carter Tales.
ITngue.—During the Joyous days of
the recent curulvul In Prague there
wue i>erfonued, quite uuknown to the
revellers, u clever piece of detective
work on the part of the local police
which resulted in the restoring to a
distracted diplomat of certain pitpets
which to hltu were of the greatest Im
portance.
The police worked quietly into the
night life of the city, and such was
their success that before the night
was over the city .lull had two new
tenants and u young man was speed

of his government, expressing heart-

Valuable Papera Stolen.
Mr I»— seated one afternoon In
his office behind a pile of papers, was
interrupted suddenly by a young
diplomat representing one of the great
powers of Europe, who declared his
business to be most urgent, lie re
lated that a wallet containing docu
menta of great value hud been stolen.
He had left it for a few moments on
his writing table to go to another iron,
in the legation, and when he returned
It was gone. Furthermore, there were
jewels in the wallet. Ills personal prop

turb the young foreigner half us much
as the loss of the papers.
“I must leave Prague by the night
train,” he explained to the Inspector,
“and I will be ruined for life if these
documents cannot be recovered.”
Mr I>----- drove to the legation
and looked over the wnllet substituted
for that of the diplomat. It contained
a Prague newspaper from which a
clipping had been made. The ln«i<ec-
tor secured an intact copy of this
paper, and was thus able to read the
dipping cut out by the thief. Also
Mr. D----- found traces of face
powder between the leaves of the wal
let.
The clipping announced that there
was to be a masked bull that evening
at a well-known hall in the city. With
this as his main clue the inspector as
sured the diplomat that he would re
store the papers, and. after assigning
a detective to watch the palace, he
hurried away to don a fancy costume.
He was going to the ball.

result of the coming of the new high

that country in the matter of the sale
of farm lands.* Many people from the

homes, in anticipation of a good road
through the country. The Salmon

and is exceptionally good for dairy
ing. Now that dairymen can get out
their milk and other products dairying

the whole country will begin to res

permit and cultivate friendly trade
