Thf previous ni^ht, it was Strang's firm liflief, Loa hiul meant to tell I.rtis the whole story, as far a.s pos- sible explain his reasons for wanting the tattoo-ni'ark obliterated, and thus try to win her consent to its removal. But to secure the requisite privacy without exciting her alarm and sus- picion had been next to impossible until circumstances played directly into his liiitids. He was provided with the opportunity of talking to Lois un<k'r the l)ei;t conditions, and fur- thermore, unsuspected by her, of us- ing his disappearance as a decoy to get me in his power with the ring and the reliquary. The hour had struck when he must have them, and extrtnif measures had to be resorted to. He would not have harmed Lois, Strang averred; he might have brought about my murder without a scruple, if I ha<l refused to give up the ring and reliquary. However, his program was inter- rupted, as we know, by Struber hav- ing met and followed I-'arlin and me. Tao-fuism had been spreading not alone among the Pacific Coast and other Chinese colonies of America, but w ith changing conditions, it was once more coming into its own in China. Lao's rank made it imper- ative that he recover the symbol of his authority, which my father had seized at the time of the other's ' flight from China, and remove all I others that were being carelessly left to the disposition of chance. But ' Peter B. Ferris was dead, and what had become of the ring? Occurre<l then Charley Yen's death, and the trail was indicated to him, thougli for a time he hestitated to approach me, and did not do so until obliged to. Events in which he was secretly 8 principal participant were rapidly, drawing to a head in China ami he ; was all at once forced to act quickly. ; I Straightway, however, he was op- ' posed by another serious disadvant-^ I age: radical difference of race made 'it very difficult for him to recover j ; the boxes and the ring without (in his estimation) involving the likely hazard of betraying their significance.' So he went about trying to gather them in after his own peculiar me-: thods. i It must not be lost sight of that for more than twenty years Strang and Lao Wing Fu, deceived and mis- guided by what they believed to be the true state of affairs, entertained a hostile and suspicious attitude to- iward each other. With true Orient- al patience ami impassivity, Lao bided his time, believing the oppor- tunity to get even would sooner or lat\er present itself; but the fact that !the diamond never appeared between the time of its loss and the meeting I between Lao and Strang at Johore Bahru in Noveml)ti', in n measure had prepareil the minds of eai h for openness to conviction regaidinK the olhtr's innocence. The two then directed thtir ^-iis- picions towanl Steve Willefj, a life, prisoner in San Queiiliii, and can- vesserl the situation fiorn this point of view. For s<>mc time i.ao's in- fluence had enabled him to communi- cate with Steve through the medium of the "grapevine" telegraph that constitutes a connecting-link between every prison and the outside world. Unsuccessfully he had sought ii;- formation that woiUi put him upon the trail of IMaHan Syfveiitcr. Steve was wily and evasive. Life prisoner.! sometimes were pardor.ed, and Ihoii the missing heires.s would prove a most valuable asset. .Steve h;i'l con- trived t.o keep informed respeetinr his putative ilaughter's whereabouts ai;d comlition, but he wns not taking I.ao into his confidence, even thoaj,"!i the latter was holding out tho tempt- ing hint of a possible jail delivery. .So Lao was merely fed with facts that stopped just short of enabling him positively to identify Marian.

Day by rlay the Rtrne "Tagwacht," the organ of Swiss Social Democracy, tells what is really happening in Germany. In tihe latest is.<ue that has reached tliis country, it describes the political activity of the police. â- 'First of all, everybody suspected of h.-. ing revolutioi.ory tendencies is spied upon day and night. A num- V<er of papers which are under pre- ventive censure are no longer allowed to leave blank spaces, where passages or an article have bt>tn suppressed. "Wnrbemburg is under a specially close surveillance. The local police officials were sent from the famous police school at Halle. But even these men were not found L-ufficient to safeguard public order. Stuttgart is flooded with detective.^, who arc pre- sent in numbers at every me-rting. These are dis.'folved on the slightest pretext, and all the names of persons taking part in the meeting taken down. "One of the latest •heroic* deeds of the police in St-iittgart was the arrest of four Social Democrats. The police handled them in a most brutal way. Two boys who witnes.sed the arrest were detained from two o'clock in the afternoon until late in the even- ing lest they should tell what they knew of the affair and denounce the police. It often happens that school children are suddenly arrested on their way home, detained without foot! or drink until late at night, and then liberated without any explana- tion. Their anxious parents are never warned and no excuse is ever given to them. The children are being terrorized in thousands of ways. "Frequent also are domiciliary searches. A whole row of houses was examined because a rumor had spread that a leaflet was being distributed protesting against a winter campaign. "Not less severe is the censorship in Rhineland. There is serious unrest amongst the miners in consequence of the prohibition by the Government of all discussions concerning the pre- sent state of affairs in Germany. In this way the authorities hope to pre- vent an outburst of discontent. In Socialist papers the word Vapitalism' is invariably cut out by the censor. "In all big stations and tramway termini there are many police and detectives. "Often trains are stopped and the passengers searched, but not from fear of spies. It is even probable that the police keep a descriptive list of all Socialists suspected of peace propaganda, as many members of the Socialist party have noticed them- selves being photographed in the streets. "It is known that all the corre- spondence of suspected Socialists is opened by the authorities. Lately the police are even overhearing all con- versations on the telephone and us- ing this means to ascertain the opin- ions of different members of the So- cial Pemooratic party."

Consumers. large and small, do not like mixed lots. They want them uniform in sise an«l ijual- ity. Consequently potatoes :>re us- ually sorted before being put on th« market and the price which i.j paid the potato-grower is the price of sorted potatoes, less the cost of sort- ing. Therefore, the potato grower who ships unsorted potatoes really has to pay the charge of sorting. The shipper of unsorted potatoes, also, has to pay another charge, and that is the freight on the culls which are later taken out of llis shipment. The shipper of unsorted potatoes, therefore, is simply wasting money. It pays to sort because it gives one the top market prices and because it saves freight on culls, and, it might be added because the culls could b* kept on the farm and made use of in rations for live stock.
