THE1 GOLD OF THE GODS DV A DTUT TT "D TT?T?7T? (A .Mystery. of.; the Incas Solved by OX XX U XV ; X. MXLLEj V Ij Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective)

CHAPTER I The Peruvian Dagger "There's something weird and mys- , terlous about the robbery, Kennedy. They took the very thing I treasure most of all, an ancient Peruvian dagger." Professor Allan Norton was very much excited as he dropped into Craig's laboratory early that forenoon. Norton, I may say, was one of the younger members of the faculty, like Kennedy. Already, however, he had made for himself a- place as one of the foremost of South American explorers and archaeologists.

"How they got into the-South American section of the Museum, though, I don't understand,'' he hurried on. "But, once In, that they should take the most valuable relic I brought back with me on this last expedition, I think certainly shows that It was a robbery with a deep-laid, premeditated purpose." "Nothing else is gone?" queried Kennedy. "Nothing," returned the professor. "That's the strangest part of it to me. It was a peculiar dagger, too," he continued reminiscently. "I say that it was valuable, for on the blade were engraved some curious Inca characters. I wasn't able to take the time to decipher them, down there, for the age of the metal made them almost illegible. But now that I have all my stuff unpacked and arranged after my trip, I was Just about to try when along comes a thief and robs me. We can't have the University Museum broken into that way, you know, Kennedy." "I should say not," readily assented Craig. "I'd like to look the place over." "Just what I wanted," exclaimed Norton, heartily delighted, and leading the way. We walked across the campus with him to the Museum, still chatting. Norton was a tall, spare man, wiry, precisely the type one would pick to make an explorer In a tropical climate. His features were sharp, suggesting a clear and penetrating mind and a disposition to make the most of everything, no matter how Blight. Indeed that had been his history, I knew. He had come to college a couple of years before Kennedy and myself, almost penniless, and had "worked his way through by doing everything from waiting on table to tutoring. Today he Btood forth as a shining example of self-made intellectual man, as cultured as if he had sprung from a race of scholars, as practical as if he had taken to mills rather than museums. We entered a handsome white-marble building in the shape of a rect--angle, facing the University Library, a building, by the way, which Norton had persuaded several wealthy trustees and other donors to erect. Kennedy at once 'began examining the section devoted to Latin America, going over everything very carefully.. : I looked about too. There were treasures from Mexico and Peru, from every romantic bit of the wonderful countries south of us blocks of por-, phyry with quaint grecques and hieroglyphic painting from Mitla, copper axes and pottery from Cuzo, sculptured stones and mosaics, Jugs, cups, vases, little gods and great, sacrificial stones, a treasure house of Aztec and Inca lore enough to keep one occupied for hours merely to look at. Yet, I reflected, following Norton, in all this mass of material, the thief seemed to have selected one, apparently insignificant, dagger, the thing which Norton prized because, somehow, It bore on its blade something which he had not, as yet, been able, to fathom. Though Kennedy looked thoroughly and patiently, it seemed as though there was nothing there to tell any story of the robbery, and he turned his attention at last to other parts of the Museum. As he made his way about slowly, I noted that he was looking particularly Into corners, behind (

cabinets, around angles. What he expected " to find I could not even guess. . Further along and on the same side of the building we came to the section devoted to Egyptology. Kennedy paustd. Standing there, upright against the wall, was a mummy case. To me, even now, the . thing had . a creepy look. Craig pushed aside the stone lid Irreverently and gazed keenly Into the uncanny depths of the stone sarcophagus. An instant later he was down ori his hands and knees, carefully examining the interior by means of a pocket lens. ' " ."I think I have made a start," he remarked, rising to his feet and facing us with an air of satisfaction. We said nothing, and he pointed to some almost undiscernable marks in a thin layer of dust that had collected in the sarcophagus. " ' ' " "If I'm not mistaken," he went on, "your thief got into the Museum dur

ing the daytime, and when no one was looking, hid here. He must have stayed until the place was locked up at night. " Then he could rob at his lei

sure, only taking care to confine his operations to the time between the rather infrequent rounds of the night watchman." r - n v Kennedy fbent down again. "Look," he indicated. "There are the marks of shoes in the dust, shoes with nails in the heels, of course. I shall have to compare - the .marks that I have found here with those I have collected following out the method of the immortal Bertillon. Every make of shoe has its own peculiarities, both in the number and the arrangement of the nails. Offhand, however, I should say that the shoes were American-made though that, of course, does not necessarily mean that an American wore them. (More Tomorrow)

it is for people to go about the land killing each other. , One moonlight night when the Princess was walking in her garden with a little beetle on her sleeve, she saw the Prince hiding behind a big tree. With-

THE PRINCE'S PERIL 1 Once upon a time there lived two Kings who had once been friends but had become enemies. They gathered up. armies and went Into big battles in which hundreds of men were killed and the land made a smoking waste. Now, King Nordo had a very hand' some son, who was in love with the Princess, the daughter of the other King, whose name was Sudi. They had been friends for many years, having played together since childhood. But

Newspaper'Syndlcate, New York. when the Kings began to ight they ordered that there would be no communication between the families. "If I hear of your going over to see the Princess," shouted Nordo, "I will shut you up in the Tower of Silence for ten years." "If you allow the Prince to come to visit you," said Sudi, "I will send you away from home for ten years." So there were the fathers fighting while the Prince and Princess pined and thought how wicked and foolish

out a moment's hesitation they ran to meet each other, but as they did so guards appeared, the Prince was seized and borne oft to his own country, while the Princess was conducted "to her apartments. The little beetle which she kept for a pet was still on her sleeve. It crawled over to the table on which her hand rested and stopped to nibble at a grain of sugar that lay in its path. Presently the moon rose, and by looking out of the window the Princess saw a light on a far-off mountain on which was situated the Tower of Silence. Its tiny twinkle shot out into the gloom like a star. "They have shut the Prince in the tower," she said. "I must rescue him. But how? How can I get a rope to the Prince?" Just then she caught sight of the beetle on the table. "I have it," she exclaimed. She put the beetle, a spool of silk, a bottle of oil and a long coil of rope in a bag, then slipped out to the stable. As she went by the kitchen, she saw a leg of mutton on. a table, and this she put into the bag also. At the stable she mounted the swiftest pony and set out toward the mountain, which she reached by midnight. As she neared the tower she saw a large dog asleep at the foot. Taking

up to the tower' and -called -softly to the Prince. - "I have planned your escape," she said. "I am sending the beetle up' the wall with a silk thread tled to its leg. .When he reaches you,' pull up the silk a rope will come to your hand, ..and down this you can climb." The Princess rubbed a bit of oil on the beetle's nose placed it. so it pointed straight up the wall to the window and tied the silk to its leg. The bug smelled the oil -and started onward, thinking that food. must be before it. Swiftly it crawled up the wall following the scent on-itsnose, and at last it reached the window. . , Here the PrinCe put it in his pocket and began to pull the silk 'thread, to. the end of which the Princess had tied the rope. In a few moments the Prince grasped the rope, ' tied it :; to the " window and slid down to the ground. Then " the pair mounted the pony and rode off to the kingdom of an uncle of the Prince, who was a good, kind man, ; '.This uncle told the couple to get married and stay with him till their fathers stopped fighting. So the Prince and Princess were wed and lived at the uncle's home. When the Kings heard about this they" decided to make up and let the pair make their home six months . with Norda and six . months with Sudi. The beetle was kept in a golden case and fed with sugar till it died at a good old age, and then it was placed in the Royal Miiseum.: Tomorrow's story "The Fountain and the Stream.". '

A. TRIBUTE ft) WA YSE COUNTY. In his address before the Kip and Tltcfci Club, of Newcastle,. Wednesday, the fituL

James E. Wteon said;

I can. not Understand now' met nfoiild

be suciv a complete re&cttdn from the

hldi tilraraeter and quality of tha good

uia wuaKer- population as there la in Wayne "bounty. There are rriore frauds, mote hypocrites' and more damned scoundrels In Wayne county than In any other county in the whole wide world. The only possible conclusion, of course, la that Mr." Watson i not, as the politicians 'would -aayv "a candidate fox. any pfflce In the gift of the people." For If he were he would hardly hav spoken so plainly: The gentleman has had some, experiences in Wayne ebunty that' Were not pleasant. But we, shall not assume that hia . unfavorable Judgment 1 raised on them. Such a serious question as that raised here ought not to be considered from the personal point of view. What' we" have is a social, study. As such it is defective In at least one important particular that is in Its 'show of tempe. The student of social conditions, if he

expects hl verdict to be accepted, must

purjue his Inquiries calmly, and state" his conclusions temperately. Otherwise he wlll .be looked on as a "prosecutor lather, than an an investigator. Having never devoted any stteclal attention to .the people of TfVayne .county; We

do not feel qualified to give expert testi

mony in regard to them. But there are

certain general principles which seem to conflict with Mr. Watson's 'judgment. One Is that such large masses of people are not as a rule frauds, ' hypocrites

and scoundrels. Another is that these people are Indianians, and so, manifestly can not be so bad as they are said to be.

And the third Is that people do not becone bad' all at once. So we venture to. file a dissenting opinion. Wayne county folks are, we should Judge, very much like the rest of us. They have their de-. fects, of course, as others have, but probably no more than their share. We co not go into the question of the effect ef climate, soil, food or environ-;

ment on the people,, though that is Important. Buckle insists that, in addition to these, some consideration must be given to the "general aspect of nature." They are all factors in the problem. Has Mr. Watson given them their proper weight? We doubt it. The state will be glad to hear from- Wayne county in lt own defense It "indeed, lt.feela tiat a defense ia neefejiarv

We wish to call the attention of farmers to the merits of our Economy Wide Spreader. This machine is built and works on a new principle. It is not a rear end unloader merely, as other machines are, but an actual manure spreader in the full sense, delivering a swath more than three times as wide as the machine, and by the action of a single cylinder, without any auxiliary parts to co-operate with it. This machine is light and strong in build,simple in construction, and efficient in operation, low down, easy to load and to operate, runs light on the team. We will be using one of these Spreaders in the afternoons of the next four or five days, at my farm, one mile northwest of Economy. Everybody is invited to come over and sec us "make a wide suread." . 4 I . " . ' .mc' : "
