CHAPTER X—Continued “For entering Germany with a false passport,” said Von Steinveldt, “you shall in prison forthwith enclosed be.” . . “Do try not to be quite so cocksure that you’re always rigjht,” said Tommy. “As a matter of fact, my passport isn’t false, as you call it, in any single particular. My face is oval, my nose is of normal shape, and my mouth is more or less round when open, which is Just what the passport says. If you don’t believe me and can’t bear to look me in the face—which I can understand you don’t care to do alter sticking me with your marks in the way you did •—just take a glance at the photo on the passport.” This apparently struck Von Steinveidt as a thing which he ought to I do. He took a long look at the photograph. which indeed bore very little resemblance to Tommy., Then, instead of comparing it with Tommy’s face, he rapidly turned over the pile ! of papers on the desk in front of him. I From among them he drew out an- | other photograph and looked carefully at-it He placed both photographs side by side and stared at them, i Then, suddenly, he looked up at Tommy. “Os what height are you?” he asked. “Five foot, ten and a half inches, see passport," said Tommy, “forehead broad, eyes blue, nose normal, face oval. Mouth round when opened. It’s ‘ all there.” For the first time during the interview Von Steinveldt smiled. It was a grim smile, with more than a suggestion of malice In it; but Tommy was ! glad to see a smile of any kind. “I think.” said Von Steinveldt, “that there has a mistake been." 'l’ve thought so all along.” said Tommy. x “That d—d fool Count Casimir has this time himself a mistake made." “I dob’t know that Casimir is more of-a fool than any one else,” said Tomj my. "You made the same mistake yourself. I don’t even now profess to understand what It is. But you made it. So did two of your police officers." “But I." said Von Steinveldt, "the i mistake discovered have.” 1 “You can’t take much credit for that," said Tommy. “You’d have discovered It long ago, in fact, you’d never have made It if you’d listened to me and believed what I said.” | “Soon," Mid Von Steinveldt. “the d —d Casimir will the mistake also disI cover. Then you can say to him and I your Lord Troyte. and to Herr Cable that another bridegroom for the fair Calypso arranged has been.” He Mt up straight in his chair, pnlled his bristly white mustache and . looked so pleased that Tommy began to think that he must himself be the “arranged” bridegroom. The thought of Calypso being married against her will—Tommy felt certain It would be against her will—to this bristly-head-ed German made Tommy seriously angry. “Do you mean to tell me,” he said, “that you have the nerve to think of marrying her yourself?" “So,” said Von Steinveldt. “Her eqnal In birth I certainly am.” “Well, just listen to me for a minute,” said Tommy. “You’ve swindled me with these beastly marks of yours In away that a third-rate money-lend-er would have been ashamed of. You’ve set on nasty, slimy police officers to arrest me. You’ve dragged me about Berlin in a taxicab. You’ve kept me standing here for half an j hour with nothing but your face to look at. Very welL I’m not going to ask for compensation, though I ought to get it. I’m not even going to demand an apology, though if you had | as much decent feeling as a Hottentot you’d apologize without being asked. But I’ll just tell you one thing before I go. I mean to marry Oaiypso my- ! self." Von Steinveldt was genuinely astonj (shed. He had been brought up to re--1 gard royal persons of all kinds and j members cf aristocracies as sacred. A pastor—he now quite believed that Tommy was a curate—belongs to the rank of the bourgeoisie, la burgerilch. For such a one to marry— I “But she is a princess,” he Mid. “I don’t know anything<about that," •add Tommy, "but whether she la or not, I mean to marry her If she will have me. And I may say that if it’s a choice betweeh you and me, I expect to have the better chance." “go, Herr Pastor,” said Von Steinveldt. He had sufficiently recovered from his first surprise to realize that Tommy's threat was absurd. No prinecM could possibly marry a curate. Such a thing would be worse than a wave of Bolshevism. Central European society would be shaken to Its foundations. Wladlslaws, as Von Steinveldt knew, was a disreputable wreck of a, king. Calypeo was highly unconveD-.. tional in her manner of life.. But evanß they could not contemplate an allH ance with a curate. The sneer on Von Btelnveldt’s face became quite unmistakable. “Ach m, Herr English pastor,” he Mid. “And even If she won’t marry me." •aid Tommy, “and I mean to have a pretty good try at persuading her. I fed pretty certain she won’t marry you. No girt would. Good-by. Or Mthy I oiy t ‘Ach MS Harr chapter xj It m, it half Hit Ha that Oaahnlr entered the Adl<m hotel - the morning after the party at the Mascotte. He did not find Tommy, who by that time had gone off. to the poiica office. He 1

did find Janet Church, whom he rather wished to avoid. She at once attached herself to Casimir and reminded him of his promise to arrange for her visit to Lystrta. Casimir was quite civil to her. He is the kind of man who is civil to any woman anywhere and at any . time. He had a reason for treating Janet with special politeness. He believed her to be Tommy’s or rather Norhey’s, aunt. “Certainly," he said. “Everything will be settled about your journey. There will be no difficulty at shall get you a passport.” In talking to Janet be spoke German and was therefore able to express himself without quoting Shakespeare. “I don't see bow’ you can get me a passport," said Janet. “The consul here, and the passport officer, and the people at the embassy refuse to allow me to have one. If I travel at ail, It must be without a passport. That’s what I expect you to manage for me.” "You shall have an excellent passport," said Casimir, “a British passport, which no one will question.” “You can’t get me that,” said Janet. “It’s impossible.” Casimir smiled indulgently. They were sitting together near the door of the hall. A lady, middle-aged, very neatly dressed, unmistakably English, passed them, going toward the swinging door. “That,” said Casimir, “is Miss Gisborne, Miss Maj- Gisborne. She is the secretary- of Colonel Heard, who is thlfhead of the British Graves Registration commission.” Janet looked without particular interest at Miss May Gisborne. “Ih seeking for British graves,” said Casimir, “Colonel Heard, who is sometimes accompanied by his wife, goes X r’ w • ' 'S*fl i’XvsL’i ■' kMI ViZ Wl MSI “No ” Said Caaimir, “I Shall Steal It.” through various parts of Germany, and beyond Germany into all the countries of eastern Europe. Miss Gisborne often goes with him, in order, I suppose, to register the graves which are found. Colonel Heard has a diplomatic passport. So has Miss Gisborne. I propose that you should use Miss Gisborne's passport.” I do not suppose that Janet Church has any particular scruples about traveling with a false passport. For the sake of a noble excuse—and what could be nobler than world peace?— she would willingly do far worse things than that But she *was startled at the cool way In which Casimir assumed that Miss Gisborne's passport would be at her disposal. “But she isn’t in the least likely to lend it to me,” said Janet. "No," said Casimir. “I shall steal it” Even Janet shied a little at that. The word “steal" used in that way has a very nasty sound, and I suppose, as a worker in the cause of Christian unity, Janet felt herself more or less committeu to the Ten Commandments. "Steal!” said Janet. “But I couldn’t agree—" “Even Shakespeare," Mid Casimir, “is occasionally wrong. You recollect— r He gave his quotation In English. “*who steals my purse steals trash; *tis something, nothing; ’twas mine, *tis his, and has been slave to thousands, but he that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him and makes me poor Indeed.* There Shakespeare was mistaken. If I took the purse of Mias Gisborne I should make her poorer. But if I take her name, t&at is to say, the passport ot the gracious fraulMn, I do her no harm, for she gets another one at once—another passport, you qrajerstand, not another name.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL .

With the passport of Miss Gisborne you can travel anywhere.” I do not know whether that line of reasoning quieted Janet's scruples, or whether the joy of being able to go to Lystrla smothered the cries of hei conscience. She ceased to object tc the stealing of the passport, and became exceedingly curious to know how it was to be done. . “That,” said Casimir, “is easy. The English seldom lock up anything. In England, I suppose, it is not necessary to lock things up. No doubt all the English are so rich that they do not want to take what is hot theirs. Why should <they when they have all they want? So here in Berlin Colonel Heard does not lock up his own passport or Miss Gisborne's.’ If sometimes, by chance, he does lock them up, be always leaves the key in the pocket of the trousers he wore the day be- i fore, for the English are a truly great j nation, and the English gentleman is | so noble he suspects no one. He would not himself steal anything, ever. Therefore he leaves his keys in the pockets of his trousers. “All the same,” said Janet, "he’ll lock the door of his bedroom. We all do that.” “That,” said Casimir, “is nothing.’ Then he went on to explain to Janet how the theft was to be effected, and the explanation left her gasping. The Countess Olga, Casimir’s only sister, was at that time a housemaid in the Adlon hotel. As a housemaid she had, of course, a master key which j opened all the doors on the floor on which she served.* The room occupied by Colonel and Mrs. Heard and that I of Miss Gisborne were under her care. She could enter them at any time sht chose, stay in them as long as she chose and not excite the smallest sus- ! picion. She was familiar with Colonel Heard’s habit of leaving his keys i in his trousers pockets. The first feeling which this frank : confession aroused in Janet’s mind i was pity , for the countess. It must • be a dreadful thing for a highborn lady, no doubt a delicately nurtured lady, to be reduced to earning her living as a housemaid in a hotel. Casimir explained that her pity was wasted. “It is not for the sake of wages that Olga is a housemaid,.” he said. “She , has money enough to live otherwise, j and If Abe had not. I would give It to [ her. We Lystrian nobles are not rich, ! but we would not allow our sisters to j earn wages as servants. No. Olga Is i a patriot. She is a housemaid just as j I was a soldier in the war for the sake I of our beloved land, ours for fifteen hundred years, now taken from us. I fought, but it was no use. Olga collects information, letters, documents, telegrams—” “From people who leave their keys about.” said Janet “And. if necessary, passports,” said Caaimir, smiling. Janet is not, I suppose, an entirely unscrupulous woman. There are things she would not do. though very few, for the sake of a cause she had at heart Sbe trade no further protest against the theft of Miss Gisborne’s passport; but she did not want to go on talking about it She changed the subject “By the way,” she said, “talking of passporta That young friend of yours who was with you last night in the M ascot te —’’ “Your nephew,” said Casimir. Janet recollected herself. “My nephew, yes. I am afraid he is likely to get into trouble with his passport.” 1 “But how?" said Casimir. "Surely In London they gave him a correct passport." • “On his passport he is described as the Reverend Thomas A. Norreys. Now, he’s not that." “He is certainly not that,” said Css- ' iroir. “I thought not." “It was foolish.” said Casimir, “to put that on his passport, and quite unnecessary.” “If the police suspect anything wrong—" “The police will not see that passport."

Early Adding Machines That the ancient Inca civilization tn Peru paraessed an adding and calculating machine --has been revealed in the recent discovery by excavators of a knotted cord, or “quipi,” in the rains of a prehistoric tomb. The cord is sixteen yards long and contains 100 knots. Divided into ten unequal sections these knots represent the odd numbers from one to nineteen. The sections are of different colors, including red, brown, yellow, blue and green, sad ere separated by silver beads, which represent the even numbers from two to twenty.

And now what has brought yon out so early, may I ask?” / “Och!" said Pat, “O1 just came out to see if Oi could get a breakfast for mo appetite I” fcnowy linens are the pride of every housewife.

Motorship Is Next A big “sea change”—steamships -to motorships—is predicted in the annual report of Harland A Wolffs, shipbuilding firm of London. The company, which has 13 motorships under construction, Including three liners of more than 20,000 tons, reports that, judging from present indications, “the motorship will supersede the steamship in much the same way as in the course of the last century the steamship superseded the sailing ship.” If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is.plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says: “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
