The reformed cracksman, Michael Lanyard, knowns to the police as the Ixine Wolf, h attempting to recover the stolen jewels of Eve de Montalais, the woman he loves. I^anyard, \<ho met Eve in southern France, where he rescued her from robbery at the hand.s of the brutal Parisian Apache, Dupont, .suspects a motoring party consisting of the American, Whitaker Monk; his secretary, Phinuit; the let- ter's brother, Jules, and the Count and Countess de Lorgnes. De Ix>rgnes Is murdered by Dupont. Lanyard, Searching Paris, finds the countess. She is introduced as Liane Delorme. Lanyard uses the name of Paul Mar- tin. I GO ON WITH THE STORY. Liane Delorme! Tho.se syllableg were like a spoken spell to break the power of dark enchantment which had hampered lanyard's memory ever since first sight of this woman in the Cafe de I'Univers at Nant. A great light began to flood his understand- ing, but ho was denied time to advan- tage himself immediately of its illum- ination : Liane Delorme was quick to parry and riposte. "How strange monsieur should think he had ever known me by a name . . . But no matter! For now I look more closely, I myself cannot! get over the impression that I have known Mon.sieur â€" Martin, did you •ay' â€" somewheire, sometime . . But Paul Martin? Not unless monsieur has more than one name." | "Then it would seem that made- moiselle and I are both in error. The loHs is mine." | While the waiter fetched additional chairs, the woman made her escorts known: Messieurs Benouville et- I,e Brun, two extravagantjy insignificant youiig men. Champagne frothed into fresh glasses. A.s soon as the band struck up another dance, Athenais drifted Bway in the arms of Monsieur l.e Brun. Liane gazed round the room, acknowledged the salutations of sev- eral fi'iends, and is.sued iHjremptory orders to P.enouville. ".\sk Angelu to dance with you. I d<â- ^ire to afflict Monsieur Martin with my confidences." With the utmost docility Benouville effaced himself. "Eh, bien, Monsieur DucheminI" "Eh bien, madamo la comtesse? Liane sipped at her champagne, making impudent eyes at Lanyaid over the brim of her gla.ss. "By what appi'ars, you have at last torn yourself away from the charm- ing society of the Chateau do Mon- talais." "As you see." "That was a long visit you made •t the chateau, my old one?" "One had the misfortune to fall foul of an assassin," Lanyard took the trouble to explain. "And you wore wounded?" Lanyard assented. The lady made • shocked face and utti'red appropii- Bte noi.ses. "As yi.u know," Lanyard •dded. "What an experience! Still " Liane again buried her nose in her ^ Loxiis Joseph Vance glass and regarded Lanyard with a look of mysterious understanding. Re-emerging, she resumed: "Still, not without its compensations, eh, mon ami?" "Indeed," Lanyard agreed with his most winning manner: "For instance, I recovered speedily enough to be in Paris to-night and meet mademoiselle' without losing time." | "And where is that good Monsieur Monk to-night?" he asked. | "Ah, monsieur! but I am desolated. He has returned to his barbarous America, with his kind heart, and all his millions!" "And the excellent Phinuit?" "That one as well." Lanyard compassionately fished a bottle out of the cooler and refilled her glass. "Accept, mademoiselle, every assur- ance of my profound sympathy." "I will repay sympathy with sym- pathy. I have already forgotten that I ever visited the Chateau de Mon- talais. So how should I remember I met monsieur there under the name of . . . but I forget." "The name of Duchemin?" "I never knew there was such a name â€" 1 swear! â€" before I saw it in tjTpe to-day." "In type?" "It appeared in I-e Matin to-day, this (juaint name Duchemin, in a dis- patch from Millau stating that a per- son of that name, a guest of the Cha- teau de Montalais, had disappeared without taking formal leave of his hofts." "One gathers that he took some- thing else?" "Nothing less than the world-known Anstruther collection of jewels, the "Who know*?

"But if it had been you he was after, I mipht understand . . ." He caught the sidelong glimmer of her eye upon him, dark with an un- uttorcd question. But the waltz was at an end.

It sometimes gives an added in- terest to a favorite fruit to know what its name means. Take the apri- cot, for iniitance. The word has the same derivation as our familiar word precocious, and for an excellent rea- son. In its native climate the apricot tree buds very early in the spring and has flowers before it has leaves. The fruit follows rapidly, and, in this early and rapid development, it carries out the full force of its name: "early ripe." The familiar green plum, so well liked for preserving purposes, has a practical reason for being called "greengage." It could not very well be named a green plum, as that would Imply an unripe fruit, so, as an Eng- lishman by the name of Gage first I brought this variety of plum into I England, it was very appropriately I named for him, the descriptive color I being u.sed as the first syllable of ! this specially coined word. j The coconut (often spelled cocoa- I nut) is a conf ustng name for many ' persons who think it must have some connection with the cocoa bean, be- [ cause of the similarity in sjielling. It is claimed that the fruit of the coco palm was always spelled coco nut until the time of Dr. John.son's famous dictlonarry, when, probably through mistake, the confusing let- ter "a" was introduced into the spoiling of the word. This has been retained to a great extent ever since. "Coco" is the Portuguese word for mask, and there is also a species of monkey known as the "Macoco" from its mask-like face. At the end of each coconut, on its brown fibrous coating, are three marks bearing a grotesque resemblance to a face. Hence the name coconut, mask-nut. «• I Cows that had a craving for rusty wire and nails, which showed an in- complete ration, were cured by giving them a well-compounded mineral mix- ture, j BAKING POWDER MAGlt BAKING POWDER ~~~~""^ IS ALWAYS RELIABLE .
