It was during the time of my connee.

than the Imident related In the follow

unraveling of tlio mystery with which
they deal required no great amount of

to think thnt there la sufficient Intercut
about the affair to war runt making H
public.
I wan engjed with the superintendent
one morning on some routine business
when a note wax handed In from Mr.
Bridgnorth, a well-known solicitor
practicing In the town. The superin
tendent read the mWrc and then
turned to roe.
"It la a cae of pilfering, Sampson."
he said, "and the thief, of course, -an-not

and see what yon can do In the matter."
I put on my hat nnd went. a directed.
Mr. Bridgnorth's place waa well known
to me and I wax soon the occupant of a

"I have been a good deal concerned of

lmslneHa at once, "About the alwfractlon
of certain sum of money from my caah

"About a week or ten daya." was the
reply; "and the rohlsrics always take

"How do you know that?"
"Because I count the caah In my desk

Mr. Bridgnorth.
"What are the aunia yon bare

"They have varii-d. One night IS wa

"Hove you any simpleton aa to whom

"None whatever unlet " Mr.

"Indeed, that waa not my motive, at

a matter of fact the robberies have only
occurred aince my sojourn Id the place;
they never once happened before."
"Very likely. But, aaaumlng that
Hartley la the thief, can you auggeat a

"None, ao far aa I am aware."
"Very well, let him keep In the dark

"Well," nb id Mr. Bridgnorth, alowly;
"It la thla. For aome little time 1 have

nothing really the matter with me, that
I know of, but I have been apendlng a

"1 aee."
"Well," went on the aollrltor, "the

aa usual, but provide me with a key of
the latter for ue if needful."
Mr. Bridgnorth agreed, and sltortly
after I took my departure. As I jajsaed
through the outer room I got a look at
the clerks, and In partlcubir at Hartley,
which I was enabled lo do without ex
citing suspicion. Judging from appear
ances the fellow looked like anything
but a thief, having n frank, open conn-tennm-e.
and lurking altogether that
shriftlnesa of rMon characteristic of 1
moM every rogue. Aware, however,
that Ihere Is msthlng mora deceptive
than externals. I went away llMle
doubting that Hartley wan my man.
Ite that evening 1 presented myself
at Mr. Bridgnorth's door and was re
ceived by thnt gentleman In person.
The office wns closed, the clerk had all
gone home, and Hartley was out, pre
sumably love-muklng. Mr. Bridgnorth
found little difficulty In securing nie a
rot nut behind a caMnet w hich stood In
one comer of the office, and here I en
sconced myself with ns much iumfort
as the clrcuumlances permitted.

heard the dosing of his chamber door
and my watch liegnii.
The time passed slowly away.

that he was fat asleep, and, of course,

Well, Samison," said Mr. Bridg
north, when he came down the next
morning, "what la the result of your
watching? Have you discovered tn
thief?"
"I think I have, air," was the reply.
"And it is-ls It Hartley?" Inquired
the solicitor, anxiously.
"No, sir, it is not Hartley," I said.
"Tlwuik od for that!" ejaculated, the
lawyer, fervently, aa If the statement
of the fact relieved him. "But, then,"
he aked with some surprise, "who is
the culprit?"
"Before I tell you that," I replied,
"kindly see how much you have boon
roblifd of during the night"
He went to his desk, counted over tb
coins, and said:
"Four pounds!"
"That makes In all '!" I queried
"Fifty-nine!"
"(lorne with me, Mr. Bridgnorth," I
said. "I should not be surprised If I
can put yon in possession of your
money !"
With a puzzled air the lawyer fol
lowed me up the stairs to the cupboard
I have mentioned, the door of wMeh I
opened. A pahied expression came over
the man's fare as he watched me.
"How strange!" be murmured, half to
himself, half to me. "I have been
dreaming every night of thla recess In
connexion with these pllferlngs, and
the things InMide, it all seem familiar to
me, though 1 have never once seen
tbem before!"
"Stoop down, sir, and feel In that cor
ner," I said.
He did ns I bade, and drew out sov
ereign after sovereign.
"Count them," I sold, when lie bod
got all that be could find.
"Fifty-nine!" he exclaimed, going
over the pieces one by one. "The exact
amount of my losses!"
".lust so," I said, "ami now, If yon,

the result of this
draft upon many
years of past fash
ions Is that sleeve
are now more beau
tiful than ever be
fore. The contour
of the arm la sug
gested from wrist
to shoulder, and no
ugly and preposter
ous outline is made
by stlffenened protuberances. Yet
yards and yards of material are used
in the draping of the arm's natural
taper from shoulder to wrist. At the
hand the elaboration of the sleeve is
ornate. The most beautiful laces, frill
ing, loops, funnel shaping of the cuff,
slashing and so on, appear here, any
thing to add to the apparent length of
the arm and to emphasise the grace of
the hand, whether It has any grace of
itself or not.
Sleeves, as a rule, from the bouse
gown to the street garment, are tin-
Ished with some elaboration at the
wrist, delicate lace for the house dress,
a rich fringe of tails or a cuff of fur
for the street tig. But while but few
sleeves are left plain at the wiistx, a
great many are entirely plain from tlx.'
wrist elaboration to the shoulder wherw
finish Is given by the neck accessory,
which often la extended into epaulettes
or frills that fall over the shoulders.
Or, perhaps the finish at the annhole
of the popular lolero serves to give
the required apread at the shoulder, for
onr dainty women refuse to like the
perfectly plain sleeve and rounded
shoulder.
There are. liowever, but few general
rules, for the sam freedom of choice
that now prevails In other dress mat

to the original designs. Iu the first pic

wrists. These sleeves were of the ma
terial of the bolero, faille shot with
steel, pink and mauve, and were wrin
kled from wrists to puffs, the latter
lielng caught up on to the shoulders.
This made the puffs, which were really
small, look somewhat full because
much of what little fullness there was
was pushed up above the shoulder line.

The ornate bolero was white satin or

edged with rich lace.
Similar silts to these are frequently
made for purposes of ' elaboration, but
even though they should have the exact
slse and location of those Just describ
ed it would not bring dose resemblance
between the two patterns, proving
thla was a velvet sleeve silt from the
top of the shoulder to the elbow, the
edges falling away to show close fitting
under sleeve of satin. At the elbow
the velvet sleeve was close to the
wrist, where It spread In a funnel cuff,
the satin Inner sleeve being here sug
gest ed by a close wrist band.
Now and then slashes come below the
elbow, and It was an Ingenious pre
tense of this that was used on a satin
sleeve made to fit skin tight except for
little lengthwise puff of the material
that ran on the Inside of the arm from
under the shoulder to the wrist. Un
der this puff was a bit of delicate elas
tic which allowed the sleeve to give to
the arm and yet hold the skin fit. This
model adapts Itself charmingly to chif
fon sleeves, the elastic being concealed
under satin ribbon. Thus the chiffon may
be laid in many folds from wrist to shoul
der and fit around the arm very closely,
yet not tear out at the elbow and under
the muscle of the tipper arm at every
move. Another lovely sleeve for the
chiffon bodice still so popular Is made
on a tight foundation of satin. The
chiffon Is ariiingi i' n a scries of fluffy
frills, tapering from cuiuiilerahle width
at the shoulder to n mere edge at the '
wrist, and spreading :i;:;iiu over the

Elbow sleeves are still seen, .and
would be more worn were they easier
to prepare In a novel milliner. On the

were puffs thai now count as large i

wore two years ago! These puffs end- j
ed half way from shoulder to elbow, I
where a fitted section was made by '

you'll see a great many sleeves that!
are entirely plain but for a tiny bit i
of ornamentation for the hand's sake.'

sort, and -while the dross seems sim

all these pictured sleeves the final two
are the ones that make the least con-1

KUBLAI KHAN.
The Bcv elt of Nayaa, a Great Chief,
Aitainat Hi Nephew.
Now this Cublay Kaan is of the right
Imperial lineage, being descended from
Chingis Kaan, the nrtst sovereign of
all the Tartars. And he Is the sixth
Iord i that succession, as I have al
ready tUd you In this book. He cane
to the throne in the year 12M, and the
Emplr fell to him because of hia abil
ity ami valor and great worth, as was
rlgbt Cud reason. His brothers, la
deed, and other kinsmen dksputed his
claim, but his It remalued, both be
cause maintained by his great valor,
and bm-ause it was In law and right
his, at being directly sprung of the
Imperial line.
I'p to the year now running, to wit,
12ft8, he hath reigned two and forty
years, and his age Is about 85, yo that
he mifst have been about 43 years of
age vrtien he first came to the throne.
Before that time he had often been
to tar wars, and had shown himself
a gallAnt soldier and an excellent cap
tain. But after coming to the throne
he never west to the wars In person,
save once. This befell In the year
1286, and I will tell you how he went.
There was a great Tartar Chief,
whose name was Nayan, a young man
of 30, Iord over many lands and many
provinces, and he was rnele to the
Kmperor Cublay Kaon, of whom we
are speaking. And when he found
himself In authority this Nayan waxed
proud In the Insolence of his youth and
his great power; for indeed he could
bring Into the field 300,000 horsemen,
though oil the time he was liegeman
to his nephew, the (ireat Kaan Cublay,
as was right and reason. Seeing, then,
what great power he had, he took It
Into his head that he would be the
Great Kaan's vassal no longer; nay,
more, he would fain wrest his empire
from him If be could. So this Nayan
sent envoys to another Tartar Prince
called Oaldii. also a great and potent
Lord, who wan a kinsman of his, and
who was a nephew of the Great Kaan
and his lawful liegeman also, though
he was in rebellion and bitter enmity
with his sovereign Lord and Ui'cle.
Now the message that Nayan sent was
this: That he himself was making
ready to march against the Great
Kaan with all his forces (which were
great), and he begged Caidu to do like
wise from his side, so that by attack
ing Otiblay on two sides at once with
such great forces they would be able
to wrest his dominion from him.
And when Caidu heard the message
of Nayan, he was right glad thereat,
nnd thought the time was come at last
to gain his object. So he sent back
answer that he would do as requested;
and got ready his host, which mus
tered a good hundred thousand horse
