"And then you pulled his pigtail!"
"Yea, dear, and then all three scam
pered." "And the cute, little yellow man?"
"Wang Fo? He dropped to his knees
and kissed my hand, and said I was
his preserver, and gave me the golden
bantam."
Little Flora Ward sat in the lap of
her gseat friend, Alvin Prescott, im
mensely interested in quite a tragic
recital. He was telling her of an en-
counter in a dark side street the eve
ning before with three sinister China
men. They had backed another yel-low-hued
countryman against a brick
wall One of the assailants held his
throat in a talon-like clutch. A sec
ond had imprisoned his arms. A third
was advancing to dispatch him with a
glittering steel knife, when Prescott
intervened.
"And what was the 'golden ban
tam,' Mr. Prescott?" lisped the inter
ested little one.
Prescott fumbled in his pocket.
Eager eyes scanned the odd-looking
pin he drew forth. It represented a
bantam rampant, with curious script
characters on its outspread wings.
"t think the three wicked men were
highbinders, my dear," explained Pres
cott "that is, men belonging to a
cruel society who make a business of
killing people they don't like. Poor
"I Have Found Her."
Wang Fo, as he called himself, must
belong to some other secret society.
I suppose the golden bantam is its
emblem, for he kept saying that the
bantam pin 'would make me friends
with all his people.' "
"What a sweet, cute little pin it is!"
aid Flora effusively.
"Well, you shall have the trinket,"
replied Prescott, and pinned it on a
band of ribbon at her neck.
"Oh, how good you are!" cried
Flora ecstatically, and Jumped to the
floor and ran over to where a charm
ing young lady was busy at some
fancy work. "See, Aunt Lydia the
beautiful pin Mr. Prescott has given
me!"
"You are spoiling the child, Mr.
Prescott," spoke Miss Ward, but with
an indulgent smile.
He did not reply, but his eyes met
her own with a rapt, longing expres
sion. She read its meaning love
not only for the little one, but for her
self as well He seemed about to
speak. The memory of what had fol
lowed an offer of marriage caused
Prescott to control his deep emotion.
Soon he left the house.

company of the woman he so d e voted -

announced in a kindly way, so consid
erately, in fact, that Prescott half be
lieved that but for circumstances
Lydia might have favored his plea.
An orphan herself.' her life was
wrapped up in little Flora, who. hav
ing lost both father and mother, was
cherished by Lydia as a responsibility
to whom she had devoted her life. This
much she had told Prescott in answer
to his offer of marriage.
There was another suitor Leslie
Shaw. Prescott had never liked him.
He was persistent in his attention
to Lydia. He was a man about town,
with unknown antecedents. Prescott
had experienced relief and satisfaction
when a servant of the house, with
whom he was a favorite, told him of
the summary dismissal of his rival.
It seemed that Shaw had impor
tuned Lydia to accept him as her hus
band. She had given him the same
answer that Prescott had received:
Her life was bound up in little Flora.
The enraged Shaw had fiercely wished
the little one was dead, had let loose
bis wicked temper in a way that
shocKed and disgusted Lydia. Then
Shaw had sworn that he would yet
win her as his wife, if it took him
ten years to accomplish his purpose,
and bad gone away in a tempest of
wratn.
Lydia never gave any token of that
stormy interview, but Prescott was

well satisfied that she had a contempt
for Shaw. She feared him, too, Pres
cott believed, and, while he was glad
that a persistent rival was out of the
way, he kept himself on the alert to
guard against any attempt to annoy
Lydia on the part of Shaw.
One evening the telephone bell In
his room rang' sharply. His name was
spoken breathlessly, and he thrilled
and tingled as he recognized the tones
of the woman he loved.
"Is it Mr. Prescott?" she asked in
a tone that trembled.
"Yes. Miss Ward."
"Will you please come to the bouse
at once oh, at once, please!" and
Prescott dashed from the room, trac
ing anxiety and urgency in the wel
come summons that might mean some
thing helpful for Lydia
He found her distractedly pacing
the floor when he arrived at her home.
She was white to the lips and her
eyes bore the traces of a poorly sup
pressed anguish.
"Flora!" she gasped. "She is gone!"
"Gone? You mean " began Pres
cott in alarm.
"Stolen, kidnaped, spirited away!
She was alone in the garden for an
hour playing with her dolls," narrated
Lydia. "When I went to call her in
she had disappeared.
"But kidnaped? Impossible!" cried
Prescott. "She must have wandered
away."
"I found this note on a garden
seat," proceeded Lydia. "Read it."
The crumpled scrawl was signed
with one name Shaw and it ran:
"You will hear from me shortly. Un
less you agree to marry me you will
never see little Flora again."
"The scoundrel!" cried Prescott.
"I will set the police on his track at
once."
"No! no!" implored Lydia. "You
do not know this man Shaw. If any
such an attempt is made, he will dis
appear, and Flora with him. Oh, try
and find her! Try and bring me back
my lost darling!"
Alvin Prescott had a difficult task
before him. Shaw was not to be found
at any of his occasioned haunts. No
trace was discovered of the missing
child. The grief of Lydia was pitiable.
Prescott devoted all his time to the
mission in hand, but it was of no
avail.
It was the fifth morning after the
disappearance of Flora, that, walking
along the street, he observed a squat
oriental figure speed across the thor
oughfare to his side. It was Wang Fo.
"I find you!" he cried in extrava
gant Joy. "The pin of the golden
bantam. You lose?"
"No, 1 gave it to a child"
"I have found her. You come come,
quick!"
With faint heart of hope Prescott
accompanied the half coherent, but in
tensely excited Wang Fo. He led him
to the Chinese quarter of the city,
and through sinuous and mysterious
passages into what seemed to be a
secret lodge room.
There, on a dais, surrounded by
Chinese women, was Flora. She was
supremely contented, for they had
given her all kinds of quaint toys and
seemed only bent on entertaining her.
Wang Fo told his story. The child
had been brought to some avaricious
friends of his to hide or ship to some
other city as the order might come.
He, Wang Fo, had discovered the gol
den bantam pin. He had removed
the child into the charge of more
trusty friends. He had guessed much.
It led to seeking out Prescott.
They never heard of Shaw again
"they," for what could come of it, but
that the rescuer of the dear little one
should prevail upon sweet, loving
Lydia to give her a protector for
life?
HEALTH BENEFIT OF YAWNING
Expert Advises Regular Exercises as
Measure for Doing Away With
Throat and Ear Trouble.
Yawning is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides hsving
a salutary effect in complaints of the
pharynx and the eustachian tubes.
According to investigations yawn
ing is the most natural form of res
piratory exercise, bringing Into ac
tion all the respiratory muscles of
the neck and chest. It Is recom
mended that every person should
have a good yawn with the stretching
of the limbs morning and evening for
the purpose of ventilating the lungs
and tonifylng the respiratory muscles.
An eminent authority asserts that
this form of gymnastics has a remark
able effect in relieving throat and ear
troubles, and says that patients suffer
ing from disorders of the throat have
derived great benefit from It. He says
he makes his patients yawn, by sug
gestion or Imitation, or by a series of
deep breaths with the lips partly
closed.
The yawning is repeated six or
seven tim.-s. and should be followed
by swallowing. By this process the
air and mneus in the eustachian tubes
are aspirated.

Stolen Plans,
and Others
Bu JACK CURTISS
"
(Copyright, 116, by W. Q. Chapman.)
Bramwell, the general manager of
the Loftus corporation, stared with a
white face at Lewis, the treasurer. In
front of bim was an open safe.
"It's gone!" he said.
Lewis was shaking as if stricken
with ague. "What do you make of it?"
he stammered.
"I tell you what I make of it!" shout
ed Bramwell. "The Neatfoot company
has stolen the plans for our new en
gine. It means a difference of about
twelve million dollars. They've been
after it for a year. And to us it means
bankruptcy."
Lewis closed the safe before answer
ing. "After all, it's up to Feggis," he
said. "He put the plans In the safe.
He went off on a sudden Jaunt to Eu
rope without leaving any address. He's
the president, not you or I."
"But how did it get out of the safe?"
demanded Bramwell, when they were
closeted together In the manager's of
fice. "At least we'll trace the thief.
Somebody knew the combination."
"Ever hear of the man who opens
safes by catching the sound?" asked
Lewis. "Some fellow like that. It's
an easy trick, I understand. Some con-

federate in the office introduced the
man probably hid him in the ladies'
coatroom around five o'clock, where he
could hear the safe being opened. After
that it was easy."
"Who works at night besides Pe
ters?" "MIb8 Graham.'"
"Whew!" said Bramwell. "Engaged,
aren't they?"
They stared at each other and then
smiled. There was small hope of re
covering the plans, but at least it
Beemcd to them that they were on the
trail.
John Peters, President Feggis' sec
letary, and Nancy Graham, hiB stenog
rapher, had practically the run of the
office during the president's absence.
The inquisition had narrowed itself
down to them. Nobody else could pos
sibi) have been guilty. Peters bad en
tered the president's employ in his
present capacity five years before,
MUb Graham seven. She had worked
up to her present position at thirty dol
lars a week, and there existed some
feeling againBt her, not only on the
part of the girls who were now her
subordinates, but among Bramwell
and Lewis, who resented the fact that
she and Peters occupied a practically
irdependent position during the presi
dent a absence.
In spite of the heads' precautions
the story of the theft leaked out. In
sensibly the suspicion of the office
force was directed toward the occu
panta of the mahogany-furnished room
where Peters and Nancy worked to
gether. And insensibly Nancy felt
that chilling suspicion enter her own
heart.
There was. In reality, little room for
private talk between them, even if
they hnd been so minded. The presi
dent's office, fitted with transparent
windows that looked out directly upon
the general office, allowed both occu
pants to be seen at all times. Often
Nancy would look up from her work to
see a dozen pairs of eyes watching her.
They were to have been married
that spring. The niarringe had been
-tponcd when the crisis compelled
A.c cutting down of salaries. John
was making only forty-five a week
now, a sum ample for thfir needs, only
.Nancy, with memories of a life of pov
erty behind her, did not intend to
start lite, giving up h.:r position af
ter her marriage, without a substantial
bank account. And she would not
work when she was married. Sbo and
John were old-fashioned people, and
neither believed in that.
"Nancy," John had pleaded, "give
up your work and marry me. I shall
be getting fifty again next year, and
after that a substantial raise at some
time Don't let us Bpend our youth
together here when we might be so
happy."
The girl had steadfastly refused.
John had taken ft hard at first Some-
Would Hsrdly Call It a Privilege.
"I noted a new meaning of the word
'privilege' the other day," said J.
Fuller Gloom. "The article said it
was a man's privilege to pay for a
woman stranger's meals on short rail
road trips. Personally I do not see,
with the customary high prices on a
dining car, how anyone could consider
the paying anything more than e ex
treme effort" Kansas City Star.
Undeserved Reputation.
"Sometimes." said t ncle Eben, "a
man gits de reputation of bein' ter
rible industrious when he's only fidgety"
times she almost relented, but her
principle kept her to her decision. He
would be glad when the time came.
"Nancy," he had once said to ber,
"if I could get some money, several
thousand dollars, would you marry me
at once?"
"How would you get it?" she par
ried. "I have an investment," John had
laughed.
And his words came back to her as
she sat within the office, near John.
Once she raised her eyes and looked
at him steadfastly. His own eyes had
been fixed scrutinlzingly on hers. He
dropped them.
Later that day ho told her some
thing that amazed her. His invest
ment had been of a little legacy a
few hundred dollars only, but a tip
from a broker had enabled him to real
ize five thousand on it. He had the
money safe in the bank. Would she
marry him now?
And the girl's eager Joy was damp
ened by the sudden fearful suspicion
that came to her. She thrust it aside
but it returned. John a thief? John,
whom she adored with all her mind
constantly? She waited with a crush
ing burden at her heart.
And day by day they felt the sus
picion rise and hang over them like
a dark cloud.
O'Day, the mail sorter, had been dis
charged the1 week before. The new
man, Fallon, a surly, vindictive-looking
fellow, had his post opposite the
window facing Nancy's desk. When
ever she looked up she would see Fal
lon's eyes fixed on hers. He seemed
to be watching her. And it was not
long before she began to see Fallon
lurking behind her when she went out
to lunch, when she went home. The
man was a spy. She was under sus
picion, then. Those wretched days in
the office, when John, absorbed, hardly
spoke to her, were breaking down the
girl's nerves.
John was guilty! The impression
had grown into certainty. The story
of the legacy was preposterous. In
Nancy's brain an idea was born. Quiet
ly and unostentatiously she went from
her lunch one day into the office build
ing of the Neatfoot company, emerg
ing through the other door.
Glancing back as she passed out,
she saw Fallon waiting for her. There
was a look of satisfaction on his dark
face. He followed her to the office
almost openly.
Twice more Nancy performed this
feat Each time she saw Fallon be
hind her. And somehow, In the mys
terious way of offices, that story got
known too. Nncy read it in the faces
of all the girls, in John's. He knew!
And by now their intimacy had
dwindled to a shadow of friendship.
John no longer called for her, alleg
ing the pressure of work in the office.
He stayed there nightly, after Nancy
had gone home.
"Mr. iiramwell wishes to see you,
Miss Graham!"
With beating heart Nancy followed
the boy Into the general magnate's
room. Lewis was there with iiram
well. "Sit down. Miss Graham," said
Bramwell. "You know Mr. Feggis will
be back today and before he comes "
his voice was soft as honey "I think
you had better confess that you stole
that plan of the engine."
They waited, watching her face like
hawks.
"We've got the goodB on you," shout
ed Lewis theatrically. "You'd better
confess. You have been tracked to
the Neatfoot offices."
"Yes, I confess," said Nancy calmly.
"I was bribed to steal that engine
plan."
Before the triumph on their faces
bad risen to the full the door opened
and John came hurrying In.
"You can cut that out!" he shout
ed. "I stole the engine plans, aud I
warn you that all the office is talking
about Miss Graham being implicated.
Well, It's a lie. I'm responsible."
The look of triumph turned to
amazement. Then Lewis leaped for
ward. "You both stole them!" he shouted.
"I have suspected you from the be
ginning. This will be a jail sen
tence "
"Dear me, what will be a Jail sen
tence? What is this trouble about?"
demanded a pleasant-voiced old gontle
man, entering the office, umbrella In
hand.
"Mr. Feggis!" exclaimed Bramwell.
"Sir, the engine plans have been
stolen, sold to the Neatfoot company,
and these persons are the guilty ones.
They took the plans from the safe "
"What are you talking about?" de
manded Feggis. "Didn't the messen
ger deliver that note I sent you from
on board the Aqultainc? Why, my
dear fellow, I took the plans. Had yi
emergency order from the French gov
ernment, and couldn't wait to explain.
Just got home with the contract."
"But Miss Graham has confessed!"
cried the bewildered Iiramwell.
"And Mr. Peters i.lso," said Lewis.
Mr. Feggis turned and looked Int
the faces of the lovers.
"I think," he said with quiet empha
sis, "that if you will Intrust the matter
to mo I can obtain a very quick re
cantation from them "
Itut instead of obtaining the recanta
tion he quietly left the room with
his aides.
"Oh, John!" sobbed Nancy, "I
thought you you Can you ever for
give me?"
"Hut I thought you " stuttered
John. "Why, Nancy, what on eartb
didn't you believe In that legacy?
I tell you what, dear, we've both been
overworked and got a little nerve
worn. What do you say to starting
that honeymoon tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" Nancy gasped. "Why,
I can't possibly that is, not till the
day after, John."
