mystery Is clear; no one can tell about
these things, because no one knows. Tt is
only by gleaning bits of Information here
and there that some general idea of the
working of tho system can be obtained.
When an operative goes to soma foreign
city, to become a. mechanic in ons of the
navy yards, perhaps, or to work as an
engineer or fireman on a foreign battle
ship, he goes with absolutely no credentials,
with no protection from this government.
Should he fall under suspicion or be lodged
In' Jail, he gets no help from the service,
lie is disowned, utterly. In this way men
have been kept abroad for years, finding
their way back eventually to make their
reports.
While on foreign duty the operative holds
no communications, as a rule, with head
quarters. For the highly trusted men there
is a code, and here the most wonderful
Ingenuity to guard against "leaks" is found.
The operative sends his code message, not
to the service, but to some private indi
vidual In Washington, not officially con
nected with the service, who passes it on.
The message goes to one man who can
decipher the operator's individual code
number and thus tell where the message
came from. But the message itself is un
intelligible to him, and must be sent to
another employe to be deciphered. This
second employe, again, la unacquainted with
the operative's Individual number, so that
while he can read the message, he is un-
sples were ejected from the forts by secret able to tell whence It came. In this way
no one outside the chief, to whom both re
ports are made separately, has any idea
where the operatives are and what they
are doing. Small wonder that the intrlca
cles of this division are so puzsllng.
So much for the military activities of
the government's gumshoe operatives. The
dangers they face are many and real, the
work is hard, and the pay not overgenerous,
to say the least; their salaries range from
12,500 to 18,000 per annum. But it is the
fascination of the thing that attracts these
men, the ever-present peril of life and limb,
while in the division devoted to counterfeit
detection there Is the excitement of the
chase, the mental satisfaction and glory
that come with the outwitting and capture
of a dangerous criminal. Van Norden'a

A Little Heroine of Illinois." by
Alice Turner Curtis. Is the first volume of
Little Heroine Series." This genuinely
good story for little girls, with plenty or
Interest for boys also, tells of th early
days of the civil war, when it was very
doubtful how portions of skates adjoining
the line of division would stand when tht
final test came. This little girl has the op
portunity to render a service of greatest
Importance to the cause of the union, and
by rare discretion and physical courage
and tmdurance is equal to the occasion. It
Is a sensible and entirely pleasing story of
time, now passed into history, In which
even children bore their part and which
children of this day will enjoy and ought
to read. Published by Lathrop. Lee ft
Bhepard Co.
In his latest novel, "Peter," Hopklnson
Smith has written" his sixth novel and un
questionably his best. It Is the fullest ex
pression of his belief in the better side
of our life today in the wholesome, fine,
simple, high minded Americans of the pres
ent moment. The steady growth In power
of Mr. Smith's talent aa a novelist, helped,
not hindered, by his other professions of
ensineer and artist, has enabled him to
combine In an extraordinary way the en
thuslasm of twenty with the knowledge
and experience of something more than
three times that. Published by Bcrlbners.
"Our Little Egyptian Cousin," by Blanche
McMamis, Is another volume of "The Lit
tie Couftln Series." It Is a delightfully en
tertatnlng story of the visit of a little
American boy and his uncle to Egypt. Sev
eral weeks were spent In this visit and the
Interesting places of Egypt visited, with
accounts of the people whom they met,
make the story more than entertaining.
The Illustrations add to the interest. L. C.
Page & Co., are the publishers.
"Swift's Gullivers' Travels Retold," Is a
late edition to the Eclectic Reading series.
In this new volume Dr. Baldwin has re
written the famous voyages especially for
children In the second and third years In
school, preserving as far as possible Swift's
own simple and unadorned style, and re
taining much of his inimitable humor.
The Illustrations are especially attractive
and amusing. Published by the American
Book Co.
"New Reading of Evolution," by Henry
Clayton Thompson, presents a story plan,
In this work the known facta of nature are
surveyed, from the viewpoint of the Individ'
ual man as a self-conscious center of the
universe. An attempt Is made to define
hla true nature, to estimate his worth and
to extend his present limitations and con
cepts. Man's place in nature is located
from his intellectual attainments and moral
character rather than from his anatomical
tructure. Illustrated with pen and Ink
sketches and half tone photographs. Pub
lished by the New Reading Publishing Co.
"The Orphan," by Clarence E. Mulford,
has Its scenes laid in about the same coun
try as those in his enjoyable cow-boy story,
Bar-20." On the southwestern plains
father and mother have been murdered by
outlaws, a ranch has been burned to the
ground an orphan has been left to his
fate. The boy has already absorbed much
of the "plain craft" of the Indians the
eastern blood in his veins makes double-
barreled use of this knowledge. By force
of circumstances he has to shift for himself
and It is not long before he becomes the th am ,ound "cholarshlp and keen
terror" of the country. With the develop
ment of his character there comes a love
Interest which completely transforms the
orphan. Through a most interesting sher
iff the orphan gets in charge of a ranch
of his own. Retribution on the outlaws
who murdered his father and mother fol
lows. The orphan and the woman he loves
come into their own. It is a story of ac-
servlce operatives, while at Pino camp
one of the ' little yellow men was caught
and received rather rough treatment be
fore he could be rescued from tfw angry
troops. Naturally, the government does noti
csre to proclaim these facts from the
house tops, but such Incidents give one
en occasional glimpse at the vastly com
plicated machine which moves behind these
manifestations.
In at least one of the branches, that
which concerns itself with obtaining mil
itary and naval secrets from abroad, the
Vnlted States secret service is comparable
only to that rralntalned by the Russian
bureaucrscy. Of course, the greater pro
portion of the work drne by the service Is
In the detection and suppression of coun
terfeit currency, the investigation of
fraud against the government and the
like, but the military branch Is by far the
most Interesting, ' for the simple reason
that It Is so baffling to all Investigation.
One does not begin to gTasp the reason
why this should be so, until it la realised
that the activities of the secret service
operatives overlap those of the men sent
s out by the Army and Navy departments
on similar missions, forming such a net
work of espionage that even the heads of
the departments, even Chief Wllkle him
self, cannot trace the pattern. Then the

me pleasure to endorse Doan's Kidney
Pills. What I stated In their favor sev

symptom of kidney complaint has since
returned. A cold which contracted, and
which settled In my kidneys was respon
sible for my trouble. As the years passed,
the attacks became mors severs and fre
quent, and I was in a miserable condi
tion when I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills. They rid ma of the trouble In a
short time and considering that I sm get
ting well slong In years and have had no
return of the complaint, I think I am sat
In recommending Doan's Kidney Pills to
others. I procured this excellent rem
edy at Schaefsr's Cut pries Drug Store."
